Hi,my phone is rooted and has dual recovery on a locked bootloader.To enter recovery when my phone is switched on i use "reboot manager".
My question is how do i enter recovery when my phone is switched off?
What is the key combination?
Volume + for CMW (Or philz)
Volume - for TWRP

No you just press the button and you leave it. You must press it when the led turns pink
also you can do it by some apps such as one that NUT make it

You can not use apps when the phone is turned off which is what the OP was asking about.

I managed to switch my sd card and now there is no option for boot into recovery anymore ! Please help me !!! When I tried to flash again via fastboot, it said that the image cant be loaded !
How are you trying to get to recovery. Volume - button and push the power button.
OP...you may want to be a bit more detailed.
Why and what are you flashing 'again' using fastboot?
huh!! very confusing post... what boot into recovery option... which ROM are u using and as @SiNJiN76 said... what are you trying to flash "again"???
well, I tried to press the power button and the trackball at the same time, but there is no option to go into recovery
Edit:
My bad guys, my mistake, i press the power and the trackball instead of the volume down button ! Sorry and please forgive my stupidity

I managed to switch from a 4GB class 6 to an 8GB one ! After that, I cant seem to boot into recovery anymore ! I tried to flash the recovery image again but it said that the image couldnt be loaded
Press Volume Down and hold it down while you press Power. Keep Volume Down button held 'til you get the white screen. You'll see recovery...press volume down to select it then power button to enter recovery.

touching is not a compulsion. touch part comes into play when you have two different recoveries installed.

Sorry, i didn't understand. I have to power off, power on and than press back button?
Please can anybody finally help me?
No definitive solution?
When on Sony logo repeatedly press back button many times.
Here it goes:
Option 1:
· Reboot normally. Don't use the option to reboot into recovery.
· Press the Back button over and over again.
· If the phone boots normally without entering recovery check next option.
Option 2:
· Reboot normally. Don't use the option to reboot into recovery.
· Press the Sony Ericsson logo over and over again.
· If the phone boots normally without entering recovery check next option.
Option 3:
· Reboot normally. Don't use the option to reboot into recovery.
· Press the Volume Up button over and over again.
· If the phone boots normally without entering recovery check next option.
Option 4:
If none of the options above work, you most likely have a corrupt recovery.
· Get x8toolbox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100 .
· Make sure you have the PC Companion Software installed.
· Make sure USB Debugging is activated.
· Install a recovery using x8toolbox.
· Enter recovery pressing of the Volume buttons over and over again.
@CnC-ROCK - How you enter into recovery is entirely dependant on how it was configured, not on how many recoveries you have installed. For example, if you install dual mode recovery using x8toolbox, you enter xRecovery using the Volume Down button; and CWM, using the Volume Up button. See? In this case no touching is necessary.

Thank you Fortun, I had to reinstall recovery and it worked
just one thing. I installed nobodyAtall CWM 3.2.0.0r4 .Can I install dualrecovery now?

Sure you can. Make sure you actually use the dual mode recovery option in x8toolbox, and not just install xRecovery on top of your current recovery.
By the way, I don't see any reason why you would need xRecovery nowadays. But you can.
Hi,
I tried the regular fastboot method to load CWM recovery.
Whenever it got to the point of loading the recovering, it would just say "flashing recovery on the device...".
Then, when restarting bootloader and clicking on "recovery", it would just shut down the phone.
I decided to experiment to try fix the issue, and I came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
I downloaded the ZIP file and I ran the root.bat
It flashed some boot images and now my phone wont start
It is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" and will not go any further.
Please help . I'm so scared that I've bricked my phone. Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Thanks in advance for the help!
The methods u used can't brick your phone
Reboot in boot loader by pressing the power button and volume - button at the same time. Just at the moment the phone shuts-down/reboot release the power button. It will boot in boot loader. After this flash cwm or twrp again and with the volume down button go to recovery. Select recovery with the volume up key and u are done. Cwm/twrp is flashed and will boot in the recovery.
In recovery I would install the ROM from Omar. It will restore your system and boot.IMG so it will work. Don't forget to wipe data.
If this doesn't work flash the home made fast boot files somewhere in the development section

Thanks - I tried that. I do let go of the buttons as soon as it starts to reboot itself, but it doesn't start the bootloader - it still just shows the screen "warning bootloader unlocked". I can not get back into the bootloader
Do u reset the phone with the 4 buttons and just when it resets does your phone reboots immediately?

If I hold all 4 buttons, the screen goes blank, and the green light stays on. My PC then finds hardware called "MEDFIELD" but wont find drivers for it.
Does this help at all?

The above applies when connected with usb.
If I press all 4 buttons without USB connected, it just reboots and gets stuck on the "unlocked bootloader" message again

You should let go only of power button and hold vol.down button (at least for me)
If your PC finds hardware - can you do fastboot devices to check whether it is actually recognized properly?
And last thing - which method you used to load recovery (and were you on ICS\JB)? You were rooted and used automated methods or you unlocked bootloader and wanted to root afterwards (manually through fastboot)?

You are a GENIUS!!! A LIFE SAVER!!! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. BOTH of your points fixed the phone.
I could never get into recovery becuase I was pressing the power button. I could never get into fastboot becuase I was holding both the power and volume down button.
So, for anyone using a RAZR I... please note the following SIMPLE things:
1) In the bootloader menu, the power button does NOT select the option. The VOL UP button selects the option
2) To boot into BOOTLOADER : Hold both power and vol down buttons until the phone restarts, and then RELEASE the power button, while still HOLDING the volume down button! It will then load the bootloader.
Again, THANKS so so much for reviving my phone for me. I was going crazy without a phone!

I was going through everything you've faced yesterday. So yeah, glad I was of help to someone else as well)
This has never happened to me before but don't stress one bit because nothing ever permanently bad comes from this. You can forget about it being destroyed. These aren't iPhones, haha. You can get it going again pretty easy I hear. Just don't stress because there is no point and you WILL get help. Just listen to what these experienced dudes are saying and you should be back on track. Good luck!

UPDATE: Nice! Glad to see you got the help you needed and everything's back on track!
Nice that it is solved. I gave u the solution on my first post, but nice that someone els did a better job in explaining it
There is almost no possibilities to brick your device if u only flash things like the boot, system, recovery or data partition. They can he solved very easy. If u flash the other partitions like the radio u can get a problem.

If you hold the power button for 2 seconds the menu should pop up. Or try flashing a custom recovery.

Worked for me. Thanks a lot but can you please suggest me something? I'm experiencing some lag on my HTC One after update (from 4.2.2 to 4.3). I've cleared cache from recovery, is it okay or do I need to apply factory reset as well?

Seems to be missing some steps
First hold power button until you see power off/restart option, dont release power button instead keep holding power button until you see 'rebooting...' message, then release button,wait until recovery is shown then use power button to step through the options. Once recovery is highlighted, press and hold power button again for about 3 seconds to select that option.

simply pressing power at this stage will just reboot (continue). You need to either press and hold power for a beat or rapid press to get it to jump to next option.

For starters, 27 is ancient; you need null 23
