I came across this info on the web, though it would be useful. It's just how to get into fastboot, recovery, and some other menu.
Holding X & the power button:
Recovery
Holding volume up, volume down, & power:
Boot mode selection menu (0A.33)
Vol up selects, vol down scrolls
Available boot modes:
*Normal powerup
*Recovery
*AP fastboot
*BF SBF flash
*BP only
*AP BP USB bypass
*BP tools
Post 5.6.890 update:
Power + Vol Down = AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) 0A.53
Post 5.6.890 update:
Power + Both Vol = Boot Mode Selection Menu 0A.53
Available Boot Modes:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
AP Fastboot
BP SBF Flash
BP Only
BP HW Diag & Boot AP
BP Tools
NOTE: the change "AP BP USB bypass" -> BP HW Diag & Boot AP
Holding the up arrow & power:
Fastboot flash mode
0A.33
*Battery OK
*OK to program
*Connect USB
*Data cable
Holding the OK button & power:
Safe Mode:
Open the Keyboard and hold the OK button when turning on the device.
Keep holding the OK button until the system is almost done booting up, and the device will vibrate.
It'll also have in the lower left of the screen "Safe Mode"
Volume down = AP Fastboot
Right navigation arrow (keyboard) = RP SBF Flash mode....same as in vol up and vol down menu but takes you directly to it
Up navigation arrow (keyboard) = RP Fastboot Flash Mode
M = Same as both volume down and volume up
B = Vendor flash mode
F = fastboot flash mode
have u experimented with them?
What is bp tools?
I haven't selected or tried any of them, I've only opened up each of these.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
0A.33
would this be the name of the recovery some on here was looking for the name of it so they could make a custom one for root. i will try and find the tread and direct them here.
0a.33 is the bootloader version, not the recovery version.
The problem is that the bootloader is locked and encrypted and only accepts signed boot images and recovery images, so you can't gain root on a secured device via a custom recovery, unless you use a bootstrapped recovery on an already rooted device.
Safe Mode:
Open the Keyboard and hold the OK button when turning on the device.
Keep holding the OK button until the system is almost done booting up, and the device will vibrate.
It'll also have in the lower left of the screen "Safe Mode"

This works thanks. Trying it out because I keep loosing service. On the second phone so far. For some reason Opera Mini still works, but I doubt it would cause any issues.
[edit] Also FastReboot, Explorer(RootExplorer) and DroidLight work. The new music app doesn't see the sdcard.
While in recovery, pressing Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time will give you a menu. The options are to 1) restart the phone, 2) apply a (signed) update, 3) wipe the phone, 4) wipe the cache. Vol Up and Vol Down change the selection, while the power button selects.
When booted into FastBoot, Windows picks up a new device. I installed the ADB FastBoot (?) driver that comes with the SDK, but I was not able to ADB into the device. Pressing the power button will turn off the device immediately.
As a note, you can use ADB to boot into either one of these modes.
So am I understanding this as you can boot into Fastboot using ADB but it becomes unusable at that point?
You can use the fastboot mode access as it's designed though a somewhat limited set of commands are enabled. You can definitely use it to flash partitions on the D3.
That was proven today by krazykrvda when he tried flashing the Atrix preinstall to his D3, which worked but the dosu binary did not succeed in rooting the device.

Android system recovery <3e> (Seems the same)
In the name of science, I tried BP tools. Well, science and the fact that I can't use my SD card or listen to music since I did bloat removal and my ringtones are borked and i'm a bit frustrated. Anyways...
Chose BP tools and it just sat on the "Dual Core" screen until I hit volume up (this is with root, without the cable plugged in). With the cable plugged in it gives me a "searching for drivers" but doesn't find anything. I found this for reference about BP Tools but didn't have the same behavior as the Atrix.

Hi Guys,
I was trying to update my N920G(INDIA) stock firmware from N920GDDU2AOL1 (india) to N920GUBU2AOJ8 (Ecuador) but at the end in odin 3.10.7 the firmware update failed. Now if i try to start the device I am getting an error message saying "Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" but If i connect my device with Smart Switch PC software it shows that the device is unsupported .
What should I do?
PS: I am still able to go into the download mode
Hold vol+ vol- home and pwr buttons at same time, when phone reboot leave only vol+ so they enter on download mode.
Then flash N920GDDU2AOL1 again.

1. First of all you have to download a stock firmware corresponding to your region.
2. Then connect your SD card to your computer or place it in another device, then create a folder in there called " dload "
3. Next place your firmware in that folder you just created, place the SD card back in your device.
4. Power your phone off, hold down all three buttons of your device (power button, vol+, vol-)
5. Finally you should see a screen that says forced install, just wait until it does it's thing and that should fix your problem.
hello!
I have the EVA-L09 version of the P9, and I recently had installed Cyanogenmod 13 on it.
To do that, I needed to do an OEM unlock and flash TWRP ++.
Now when I'm trying to go back, I can't get my phone to force the update from the DLOAD folder.
"Volume up + power" and "volume up + down + power" does both enter the eRecovery. I've tried this from rebooting my phone by holding down the power button, and also entering the eRecovery and pressing "shut down" first.
I've tried to flash the recovery.img and recovery2.img from my B136 firmware (UPDATE.APP) - but i can't get it working.
I have also tested with unlocked and relocked bootloader.
What do I simply do to make it work?
Where do i find stock recovery that works? gah
EDIT: Fixed it by following the steps provided here. Just note that phone has to be powered completely off, before you hold down all buttons to boot into recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67754200&postcount=4
