Can we maybe.. have a little information about your device?
How are you currently trying to access recovery?
Are you trying to access a CUSTOM recovery or STOCK recovery?

That's the way to access recovery on JellyBean, are you on JellyBean?
If you are on KitKat press Power + Volume Down, and when you see the LG Logo, switch to Volume Up + Volume Down.

That is stock recovery. If you had a custom recovery, after pressing YES twice, it would load custom recovery but since you are 100% stock, that IS your recovery.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery

Hey guys. I just put the new JB leak on my razr m and rooted it using motofail2go. First of all, my root doesn't work so I tried re-flashing it. Didn't work. Then I tried to reboot into recovery and it sits at the screen with the android with the red triangle. I have no clue what I did wrong... can someone please help me before I freak out? lol

[Recovery]CWM for Samsung Galaxy SIII mini - official

Few days ago an official CWM recovery was made from the ClokworkMod team for our device. Here you can find the link for the site to download or you can download the ROM Manager app from the play store. It's version 6.0.2.7 and it is the latest version.
It's official so don't ask if it work, cos it works.

Find a backup of original recovery.img for i8190 and put it on your external sd.
Use Terminal emulator with "dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21" command, and it will be written to your recovery partition.
What different between CWM recovery and original recovery?
Is both support three key combo reboot? Volume up + home + power when phone starting..... or how?
Which is better for usage?

Cwm recovery allows you to flash .zip files not signed by samsung. And it also has some othet function wich the stock recovery doesnt have.

You can't reset it not yet.
Why did you even flash it with Odin? You should've asked me to make a flashable zip with stock recovery, like the ones you saw in other CWM topics.
But most importantly, why did you reflash stock recovery in the first place?
I`m not able to access CWM recovery mode by holding down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME UP' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 5 seconds . The phone show me a black screen and reboot again , if try again to enter recovery mode I face same reboot , if no key are pressed is just booting normally . Strange is that TWRP recovery is working perfectly with the combination of vol up + menu + power

no recovery mode after cwm and cyano

hello guys, after installing cwm and cyanogen mod does not work in the recovery mode.
how can I fix this?
Never use CWM. It never works. Its basically crap. I've tried it on 3 different phones and it was never able to read the internal storage or SD cards on any of them. Flash TWRP through fast boot.

I installed the twrp through gooManager and nothing has changed.
Can you be a little more specific on your problem? What do you mean nothing changed? The recovery?

in TWRP, the vol up + down aren't supposed to be used. Power button just locks the phone while in TWRP
EDIT: Wait, I'm losing it. Do you mean trying to access the recovery through vol down and power doesn't work? And then if you are in cwm, it doesn't work?

sorry but I do not understand.
I had the Nexus S if I could get into recovery mode with volume up + power buttons, always! both stock rom and with CyanogenMod.
the Nexus 4 worked perfect with stock rom volume down + power but with CyanogenMod + cwm does not work anymore.
ps I can get into recovery mode only with gooManager.

So you still have CWM correct? And you already tried flashing TWRP through gooManger right? If that's not working, you need to fastboot from your computer. BTW it's vol down + power.
Just go to recovery in the cm powermenu. Enable advanced rebooting in developer options. You don`t need buttons to get in recovery.

Power down the phone, press volume down and power button and you get into bootloader mode, scroll down with the volume button and select recovery and press power button and you should be in CWM or TWRP. If you are not you need to reflash a custom recovery in fastbootmode. Flashing CM does not affect recovery, bootloader and radio.

This is an OPINION from personal experience, NOT a fact as you presented it in the first post. Don't spew out BS without any valid justification. There's a reason most people use CWM and it's fine for everyone else, you're in the minority here by a long shot. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for anyone else.

Try turning off the phone and charge it fully, then try again. Volume down and power button to get in bootloader mode, if you succeed reflash a stock rom, reroot and reflash a custom recovery (if you want/need that). Good luck

Honestly, all I do is hold volume down while booting to enter bootloader. Works every time. Not sure what is going on with you. Try rebooting. As soon as the screen goes black, hold volume down. Keep holding it until you get into the bootloader.

Holding the volume down + power should get you into the boot loader no matter what rom or custom recovery you have installed, whether you have your boot loader locked or unlocked. This it's hard wired into the hardware, and if it does not work you have a hardware problem, not a problem with rom or recovery. Flash stock Rom and stock recovery, and the then RMA the phone.

From original android Dev thread.
press and hold Power and Vol- until see the LG logo, after you see the logo release buttons for 1 second then press and hold Power and Vol- again until you see the factory reset screen, just push power to confirm reset, it will prompt you twice, just continue and this will boot you into recovery.

That's awesome, except on this G2 it's power & volume -, wait, then release volume - and press volume +. Othertimes it's as described here. Other times neither method works. Always takes 15 minutes.

Hi guys,

to access the CWM you have to hold down volume up and down, home button, and power button. once the phone vibrates once, stop pressing the power button. keep holding the other buttons until it goes to CWM.
