I believe it's actually press&hold power up, then press volume up.
Moot point for the OP, but good to know for future problems.

Hey guys when I encountered the problem earlier, I did hold volume and power all I got was a blue screen. How do I exactly go about re flashing recovery

To get to STOCK recovery from fastboot, it's select "boot recovery" then power FIRST, then while HOLDING power, it's volume up. You can't do it the other way.
To flash a new recovery, it's fastboot mode on the phone, then on your computer (hooked to the phone via usb) the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". (recovery.img is replaced by whatever name your recovery image actually has.)

[Q] How to UnBrick Phone

Hello XDA folks, Im a true noob at this flashing ROM stuff. I followed the [ClockWorkMod] for the SGS4G Public Beta 3 [05/12/2011] thread. To a "T" so I thought I replaced the recovery binary and rebooted the phone and put the update.zip file on the sd and once i booted into recovery all I get is the Glaxaxy S TM. 4g boot up screen is there a way to fix this any plz help.
Did you actually get into the recovery screen? It will be blue text, stock recovery.
Then from there you will click the volume down button to highlight Reinstall Packages and once you click that it will boot into CWM.
Was the update.zip file you put on your SD the CWM Beta 3 zip? Just clarifying, because I believe that is what you were saying.
Also how are you booting into recovery? There are few ways to accomplish this.
With the phone off, hold the two volume buttons (up and down) and then press the power button.
When the Galaxy S 4G screen appears you can let go of power but continue holding the volume buttons till it loads into recovery (blue text).
I accidentally did.that yesterday I just reflashed stock rom with odin and it got fixed

You dont need to tick Erase Recovery.
Press HOME + VOLUME then power.. keep holding them til you see recovery!!
If it doesnt work.. flash recovery again using Rom Manager.
Also try to get into recovery through rom manager if nothing works!!
I'm having the same issue. Just flashed CWM with Rom Manager today. It worked a few times, but now it's not. I cannot select any option on the list. The back and search buttons blank out the screen except for the rom manager logo (also the background) and if I hit them again, the "cursor" has moved up or down, depending. If I press the power button, it also blanks out the screen except for the logo, but when I press it again, the cursor goes back to the top. The only button that doesn't make it blank out is volume down. Home and Menu buttons do nothing.
Also, doesn't matter if I load recovery manually or through RM.
UPDATE: Managed to get it stuck on the RM Logo. Nothing does anything.
UPDATE: Flashed VM670 Recovery with FlashImageGUI and am getting similar results. Now both volume keys allow for selecting, home and menu allow for selecting with the cleared screen, and power, back, and search do nothing but move the cursor to the top. If I hold the power button, though, the screen flashes and the cursor doesn't move.
I had same problem on my vm670 try using camera button to select . Worked for me

Don't forget that the camera button is a 2-step button. You have to press it all the way in for it to register in CWM. Also, I'm running CWM 3.2.0.1 and the Volume buttons work for me just fine.
And for the one who couldn't get into recovery, have you tried booting normally, connecting it to your computer, and running this at a command prompt?
adb reboot recovery​

(Q) Stuck at google logo, won't power off

I was flashing a new ROM and I got stuck at the google logo upon bootup. I tried holding power button to power it off. It does, then turns right back on.

press both power + volume down until it boots on bootloader. then choose recovery, press power and do necessary steps to flash a new rom
You need to restore your cwm or twrp backup in this case...
You phone's not restarting properly coz the custom myt have been missing a file or you might have forgotten to clear the data,caches and delvik cache before installing the custom rom zip file...
As of now...i recommend you restore your backup first

In TWRP, I wiped everything but internal storage. I thought it was a norm coming from a S4 but I don't think I should have done that now. I have the factory image downloaded. Just trying to get into fastboot mode.
I got into fastboot mode. the mistake I was making was that I was stop holding the buttons once the phone powered off.
Yeah...this boot stuck thing happend to me too...during custom rom installation...

If you long press the power button to force a reboot as soon as the screen goes off hold down the volume down button and it will put you into the bootloader screen, Getting to recovery from there is a piece of cake. Holding the volume down button at the beginning of a reboot (when screen is off) to get to the bootloader and/or recovery screen has worked on every device I've tried it on. Just one more way.

Cant boot in recovery

Maybe someone already asked. But when i flash any recovery it boots only to a screen with the message NO COMMAND. I already tried holding the up button for 15 seconds and press power button but that keeps bringing me to stock recovery. I already have root with superboot method. Can anybody help me?

The instructions on the Motorola site are wrong.
I was trying to get into recovery and their instructions didn't help.
I think what I did to finally get it was this - pressed and held the Vol Up button for about 10 seconds, then tapped the power button.

At what point do you do this? In the fastboot menu or in the "no command" screen? Somewhere else?
I'm also stuck trying to get into recovery. Any recovery, actually. The only one I can flash with fastboot is Motorola's original recovery.img, and I can't even boot into that. CWM et al. refuse to flash.
At the "no command" screen.

I rooted with incorrect recovery?

Got my new Oneplus One and rooted it. (CM Version 11.0 xnph25r?). But, when I press Vol Down + Power, it just bootloops into a never ending TWRP logo screen. When I press Vol Up + Power I get a picture of a small Penguin! If I press the Power button by itself it boots normally. So basically my phone works, but I seem unable to boot into recovery mode (which scares the heck out of me). Can anyone venture a guess as to what is going on?
Thanks!

Use fastboot flash another recovery, or redownload another TWRP recovery. Personally I use PhilZ Touch.
I also flashed philz recovery and it is working great, if you can't manually install recovery there are plenty of oneplus toolkits on these forums that just need fastboot.

Thanks. I'll try that and rport back tomorrow!
Yes use a toolkit from here and install philz recovery. All should be good

I wiped everything - including the OS-- and can only get the "penguin" when holding Vol UP + Power.
Anyone want to buy a nice looking paperweight?
I truly feel sorry for you, so no fastboot at all? And did you try different Oneplus One toolkits?

no fastboot at all...jeez
pouring myself a large drink now!
Maybe you can talk with a Oneplus Rep and tell them you received a phone that would never boot up? I just read on a XDA forum that if you hold you power button for 30 seconds 5 times it will reset a certain chip. It actually worked for a couple people. I would give it a try if I was you.

Hey no worries, I was in same situation as u. I fixed mine. I will write instructions for u later. I'm at work rite now.

The penguin IS the fastboot. So this is what u do (having properly installed ADB and have android SDK):
First in android SDK folder go to platform tools where fastboot.exe is located. Download the proper TWRP recovery and name it "recovery.img" and place it in this folder. Also In here hold shift and right click on a clear area, from the menu choose "open CMD here". Now turn off ur phone and after hold power+volm UP to boot into fastboot mode. Connect phone to PC and in CMD type "oem unlock" then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". This should flash the twrp recovery. Now turn off phone and hold volume DOWN +power to boot into twrp. U can flash w.e ROM u want in this recovery now.
