vol- & power doesnt boot into recovery

I rooted my 2X with super one click and installed CWM 5.0.2.0 using rom manager. I used the rom manager to reboot in to recovery for the first time, then I tried to boot into recovery by holding down vol- & power but instead of taking me to recovery it gets stuck at LG logo. I had to remove the battery to reboot the phone.
Any one got a solution for this.

It works now, I just kept holding Vol- & power button for around 10 secs after the LG logo apeared then released and it went to recovery.

It isnt rom manager is an app that lets you quickly reboot to CWM witput pressing any buttons

Yup, this was the first time I tried to boot into recovery manually. These apps are no use once you flash a new baseband using smartflash as it will do a full wipe of the device and you have to enter recovery manually.

the tricky part is to release the power button at the right time, or immediately the first menu item (= reboot system now) will be executed.

You are absolutely right, I just released the buttons as soon as the LG logo appeared. As a result it gets stuck and I have to remove the battery.

hisham i did the same but my phone is stuck on the logo too....i tried to boot in recovery mode but its still stuck/////

Try booting into recovery again, this time hold the Vol- and power button a little bit longer (maybe 15 or 20 secs) and also try updating CWM to the latest using ROM Manager.

my phone has stopped booting all togather!! i m on stock....

I dont have a clue whats going on but you can use smartflash to restore the device to factory. If anyone has a better solution please tell.

Give this a try

Same here
I have almost the same problem. That is, when I try booting to recovery from ROM manager, my phone is stuck on the LG logo (red one), but when I try holding vol- and power button to boot into recovery it just does a regular boot.
I recently went from CM7 to a new stock ROM using Smartflash tool, but I want to change back due to lack of apps available.
I have also installed CWM from the AIO-toolkit for P990, but this didn't help. I still cant boot into recovery.
Does anyone have a solution to this? I want to flash a new ROM rather than the stock LG one.

with CWM 5.x.x.x you have to push and hold both power an volume- and after CWM screen is started DO NOT release the power button first but release the volume- first (keep powerbutton pushed all the time) and push volume- once so it does not choose the reboot option.
Then release both buttons, "scroll" with vol- or vol+ and "enter" with powerbutton
First time i used the CWM5.XXX the "reboots" did drive my creazy

Occurred to me too and solved flashing TG v28g (which has root and recevery attached).

How to in recovery mode?

I have HTC INCRDIBLE S with original rom 2.3 i now to use other rom can any1 please guide me how to get into recovery mode? I did try vol down + power but it is not working my phone turns on normally even after doing this. can any1 plz guide me on this??

Go into settings and turn off 'fastboot mode'. I think its in power settings ? Been a long time since I looked for it.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium

You want to go into recovery mode?
make sure fast boot is unchecked in power settings
turn your phone off
take the battery out to make sure its off
put it back in and hold volume down + power for about 4 seconds until you come to a white screen
And provided you have a custom recovery installed, use volume and power buttons to go to recovery
hope that answered your question

Here is a tutorial:

A simply Google search would provide you with the answer. ClockworkMod and 4Ext are 2 of the options you have.
You also could have found the information by simply reading the sticky posts in the section and the Development section.

You can use this method without disabling fastboot option in settings. Just click "reboot" and wait all lights are turned off. On the time, press and hold "volume down" immediately and wait for three android at the bottom on the screen. If you saw them, you suceed. Reboot option is fully turn off the phone and turn on with a fresh workspace for the booting. Just like a computer.

Easiest way to get a recovery is to download rom manager from the market/play store and flash recovery from within the app
you need to be rooted though

Rom manager cannot boot your device into recovery( at least not for me)
you can boot into recovery by powering off then press both: volume up and power. you will see a screen with choices you will need to choose number 2 and it should boot into recovery.
I would suggest that you start over completely which will wipe the whole system. And use a rooted stock or custom rom from this forum. There is substantial amount of information on doing this in this forum and you will have to read, research before doing anything.
You can achieve this by reading the second post in general forum and skip to post 10.

Wish you would do a search here in the forum
If you did then you'd find a custom Clockwork Mod for your Streak but you're gonna have to not be lazy and learn to flash it with fastboot commands
And.even then you can't boot directly into Clockwork Mod. You have to go through stock recovery first
You have some reading to do

Thanks Your Help Is very appreciated, I just did that and dont do nothing just reboots normally. No Stock Recovery. OR iam dong it wrong
I press Vol + and then power and goes through the dell light color ect.
Well through all the normal reboot
Here another thing that i cant used the devised because now it has bootloops, I tried SaveMode and the device runs great that way, but when i go to settings to Factory restore it reboots but then again with the bootloops.
So in another words i have to flash a recovery and another Rom or theres another easy way besides Commands?

Well I have some possibly bad news for you....
Unfortunately most that have tried to do a Factory Reset from within Android end up with their Streak 7 in what is called Read Only mode for which the only fix is sending it to Dell.
To boot recovery you have to hold BOTH the Volume + and Power buttons at the same time until its in recovery.
From stock recovery you then choose factory reset. I would recommend you do nothing more than that until you learn fastboot and adb commands. Like I told you earlier, you have a lot of reading to do

Ok Finally, at least got to Flash A Recovery but When i go press Vol + and power at the same time it does not go thru the recovery mode.
I have to flash a stock recovery ? If so can some one provide me the link that great.
I tried the APX fastboot and the Tablet recognize the command thru command promt.

First, APX and Fastboot are two completely separate systems.
Second, Press Volume+ and Power, then chose the section option there that says "Install a package" that should take you into recovery.

Ok this what i did, I installed the drivers. and ones it installed i looked at the Device Manager and it saids ADB Thats when the Tablet its on Fastboot ( Where the Red letters and white )
Then I went to the Command Manager and This Type in "fastboot flash recovery NAME-OF-RECOVERY-IMAGE.img
And The Command Promt actually Flashes Sucessfully.
Something its wrong, or i not pressing the right buttons to getting to Recovery.
Vol + and power then The Dell Logo flashes follow by the Dell Animation With Kind Blue Flash But it goes straight to normal reboot.

For fastboot , press and HOLD (Volume Down) and (Power), press and hold till its at a black screen with red text.
Then in device manager install the Dell Streak 7 Bootloader (we call them fastboot) drivers.
Command will NOT flash, and be done
It will say something like this
"reading recovery.....OKAY
writing recovery.....OKAY
completed in xxxx seconds"

CM10.1, can't get to recovery to install gapps

I installed CM10.1 from this thread and everything went smooth and works great. However, no matter what I do I can't boot into recovery mode. I've tried the hardware key combinations, the power menu in 10.1/4.2.2 and I've also tried ROM Manager from CWM (to install the latest CWM and boot to it). Everything just boots like normal.
From what I've read I'm guessing I have a recovery that isn't compatible with my ROM? If that's the case, what recovery should I use and how can I install it using nvflash???

Finally got ADB working and was able to install gapps using the method found here (with minor adjustments): http://www.keyables.com/2012/05/use-adb-to-install-google-apps-includes.html
Very cool.
It would probably still be nice to be able to get into recovery if I ever need to... oh well.

Power Off
Press Volume+ and Power and HOLD THEM
Select option 2.
Please put questions in the General section as this is for development only.

I am havIng the same issue with recovery but when I press and hold volume+ and power I get the samsung custom screen and I see recovery in very small blue font in the upper left, I am still holding both keys and then the phone just boots up normal. Any ideas?

[Q] N7000 won't boot, stuck on yellow exclamation mark model number boot screen

I tried rooting my N7000 with Odin 3.04 and hardcore-speedmod-ics-recovery-n7000.tar
It went through fine but now my phone won't boot. It's stuck on the model number screen and now has a yellow exclamation mark in a triangle.
I can get into the ClockWorkMod recovery menus but not into download mode (using volume down and plugging in micro USB).
I assume that when I get it back into download mode I can install the stock ROM or a custom ROM, and then it should work?

If You can get into CWM just flash some ROM (*.zip file). Remember to wipe data

Download mode is volume down +home +power.

Thanks guys.
For the benefit of future users:
So the default download mode is volume down and plugging into micro USB. With certain custom ROMs, it's Volume Down, Home and Power at the same time.
My problem was fixed by factory reset, loading the PhilZ kernel, then the stock ROM and the PhilZ kernel again to re-root, and then a Nandroid restore. I think the kernel I tried first was either incompatible or a bit dodgy.
Now to get CM!

Download mode on any ROM is volume down+power+home.

The Method of plugging in is just balderdash and won't do anything, please don't confuse people.

The problem is back.
Since last time, I flashed the stock Samsung rom and the PhilZ kernel. The phone was working fine but got noticeably slower over the course of a week. Then it got stuck on a phone call and had to be powered off. The phone goes into CWM menus and can backup/restore fine but I've tried restoring and it's stuck on the "Samsung Note GT-N7000" boot screen. It powers off after this screen.
I had noticed that the gallery app had stopped working and some system text had randomly changed to garbage text
I've tried re-loading the ROM and that hasn't done it. I also tried a system + boot recovery. Before doing these, the phone would go to the splash animation but get stuck on that.
Any help appreciated.

Boot back into philz recovery and format system,data,cache,preload from mounts and storage menu. This will clear traces of old ROM. Then boot to download from advanced menu and flash ROM using odin
