no recovery mode, just boots up.

I turn off the phone, hold power and volume down, it just boots! what am I missing?
also, clockwork rom manager refuses to flash my rom automatically.

never mind, I just used clockwork recovery.

Power + volume- + volume+ = recovery
Power + volume- = download mode (when plugging in USB)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Actually for download mode, you don't even need power... Just hold volume down and plug in the USB.

The other way to do it is to use ADB (available in SDK Tools).
Simply type:
ADB Devices (to ensure connectivity is there)
then.
ADB reboot recovery
or
adb reboot download
Works great and much faster than other methods...

I have an issue with enterind fastboot/bootloader on my LeTV/LeEco Le1 Pro.

Hello, i'm trying from a few days to install TWRP and Custom Rom on my LeTV Le1 Pro, but unfortunately i still cant get in bootloader mode. When using the command from the ADB "adb reboot bootloader" or just the simple combination of the keys - Volume down+power button, i've got the Linux Penguin for around 5 seconds and after that the phone vibrates and start as normal he should do when pressing only the power button.

TWRP without Home Button? G935FD

I want to flash TWRP on my S7 Edge with a broken home button. I can't boot immediately to recovery from download because my key combos are as follows
Download Mode - Vol Down + Home Button + Power Button
Recovery Mode - Vol Up + Home Button + Power Button
If anyone wants to know, I can go into download from system via ADB. Is there anyway for my PC to detect my phone to boot to recovery via ADB while in download?

Can't get out of rescue mode. - Power + volue +/- don't work

hi all.
My friend's P8 Lite is stuck on rescue mode since yesterday and i'm trying to walk her through flashing factory firmware on it.
Fastboot and ADB devices don't return anything (Using minimal ADB and fastboot, and correct device driver installed in Windows 10)
Pressing the button combinations results in the same screen after reboot.
Is this device hard bricked? How can i boot to recovery from this mode?

Maybe it's too late but here is some tip:
Press the Power button till the phone turns off.
Connect the phone via a USB cable to the PC and then Press and hold Vol Up + Power and you can enter into eRecovery mode. Then you can connect to WIFI and download the latest stock firmware from Huawei.
Tips:
Vol Up + Power = Recovery (Stock or TWRP)
Power + USB Cable to PC = Bootloader
Vol Up + Power + USB cable to PC = eRecovery mode (very useful if you brick Huawei phones or the easiest way to flash Stock rom if you're on the Custom rom)
