Having Problems getting into Recovery Mode after JH2 Firmware... - Captivate General

Having Problems getting into Recovery Mode after JH2 Firmware... NOT Download Mode...
Tried using the Vol Buttons + Power, but it keeps flashing up the At&T logo. I'm not at my personal computer, so cannot use adb.
Any suggestions or other tips to get into recovery mode?

when the att logo pops up hold for like 3 seconds then let go of the power button but keep holding onto the volume buttons

Flash this and you will SURE have CMW:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381
Also be sure you are doing it right
1.-Turn off the phone.
2.-Press volume up + volume down +power button
3.- As soon as "Samsung" screen appears release power button while STILL holding vol up + vol down.
4.- Keep vol up + vol down pressed for about 5 secs after you released the power button
5.- Release vol up and vol down and it should go straight to Recovery.
If that doesnt work flash the defused file from the link i posted you ( Im not the author its AdamOutler)

[HELP] STUCK entering nvflash recovery mode

i'm not flash any rom/kernel etc.
i'm only play with power and volume button.
and then my xoom stuck at "entering nvflash recovery mode".
my,question,how exit thaht mode?
i can't adb cause my pc not recognise my xoom.
please,help me to figure out.
thankyou
*PS:-my xoom is m600 [wifi-3g/verizon-usa version]
can you reboot the device? if yes does it stuck on reboot without pressing buttons?
if you cant turn of the device with the power button just press power + vol up at the same time for 3 sec
now it should turn off
this may help you
Here is how I was able to get into different booting modes.
1. Power down
2. Power up and wait for the M sign to show up
3. Press volume down, nvFlash will display, press volume down again, RSD mode will display, press volume down again, fastboot mode will display.
4. Press volume up to select fastboot
5. Go ahead and flash the kernel that you like to restore
can you change the booting mode by pressing vol down?

thanks for your quick response..
yes,i can reboot/powerr off by power+vol UP.
but if only press power button to turn off ,nothing happens.
EDIT:-try this method and no success.
I don't know if I got something wrong up there, but since you didn't flash anything and were just playing around with vol up/down, you should not have to flash anything...
What happens if you just reset your xoom by holding vol up + power for 3 seconds and after that just wait? Imo your xoom should just boot back into android and everything should be fine...
he don´t has to flash something
i am not sure if he wasnt able to turn of the device... and reboot it or something else...
the points for flashing r optional - if he wants to change the kernel or something

Try holding Vol up + PWR for 3 seconds and release, you should see the Motorola logo.
Can you tell us what happened before the xoom went off, or if you have loaded a custom ROM some time ago.

Let the battery go all the way down. Then put it on charge and try to boot-up.
Can you get into fastboot mode? If so, you should be able to reboot into your OS.

In my opinion you are pressing the wrong Volume button so you end up in APX mode and in that mode the screen stay off.Just try the opposite volume button and see what happend.

SGS 3 Eclipse Rom stuck on nexus logo

My phone started acting funny last night so I turned it off. Now when I try to reboot I'm stuck on the nexus logo. I am currently using the Eclipse Rom.
I can't enter download or recovery mode using vol. down, home, and power or vol. up, home, and power.
Any suggestions?

try home, vol up, then power.
once the phone vibrates release the power button but keep holding home and vol up and it should get you into recovery.
hope that helps. i ran into that problem the other day on a different rom and thought i would just let go of them all once i vibrated and it never worked.

Thanks I got into recovery, but my phone chooses stuff in recovery without me touching anything. I think something is wrong with my power button

GT-P5110 unable to reboot directly to recovery after twrp installation

full stock, unrooted, GT-P5110
... connect to odin (3.12 PC)-> uncheck auto reboot -> install twrp -> PASS -> unplug cable from usb
but all I seem to be able to do is reboot into system.
I :-
hold power button for 1 sec, 2 secs, 3 sec.... trying to just turn it off (instead of reboot)
hold vol down + power button,
hold power button + tap volume down,
just hold vol down,
tap power button (does nothing), only long press restarts.
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + tap pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + hold pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down on its own
search forum
pull hair out
type this
each time reinstalling twrp
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
thanks
To reboot to recovery you need to hold volume UP + power.

well that's strange, as, on my device, from off:
Volume UP + power takes me to download mode... I have done this several times and it asks me to confirm by then pressing down.
AND, from off
Volume DOWN + power takes me to recovery.
and doing a search, via google and xda all agree with me.
.. but thanks
I never said I couldn't get into recovery... I cannot get from odin into recovery without it first rebooting and therefore wiping my flash.
edit: So I tried it anyway, and got back into download mode, which in a way is kinda good news as, my logic, if I can get back into download mode from a reboot then I should be able to get into recovery from a reboot.
Same same but slightly different

I am having the exact same problems and tried exactly the same things. I am just not able to install twrp because of this. ( I read that it overwrites the recovery with the stock one when you are not going straight into recovery mode after installation) I am stuck at the “Samsung Galaxy note 10.1” screen if try to go straight into recovery.
What is strange though is that with my device: VOLDown (towards the power button) + Power button takes me to download mode and the other combination supposedly to the recovery mode.
This is so frustrating. Done this so many times with other devices but this one just does not give up… I just want to get rid of all bloatware and other crap…..

I've given up, for now, tried every combination I could think... I have a sneaky feeling it must be rooted first. It is the only thing I haven't tried doing.
I am now trying to root it first

I am currently doing just that! Using the files from autoroot . chainfire . eu (can not post links yet haha) . I will let you know how it went!
UPDATE:
It worked! I rooted my device first. After that I flashed my recovery via the TWRP app. I also must say that my device is the GT-N8010 (p4notewifixx). I got confused of all the different models. Still I think it will work with your model aswell! Good luck!
