Recovery mode: Hold volume up then power on.
Download Mode Hold volume down then power on.
On mine, down (right) and power goes to Odin. Up (left) and on goes to recovery.
+1 volume up + power for recovery then let go of only the power button when the screen comes on

This thread suggests:
-Switch off your handset and wait till the vibration is over.
-Now switch the phone in recovery mode. Press and hold Power button + middle menu button together to start in recovery mode.
The only other way I know of is if Rom Manager supports your device.
What buttons do I hold down in order to boot my Samsung Droid Charge into recovery? I used ODIN to install CWM but I can't for the life of me figure out how to boot into CWM.
I searched the forums and only found a cryptic "Press R + M + Power".
Never mind, I found it:
Booting to CWM.
1. With the phone powered off, hold down the vol up, home and the power button all at the same time.
2. When you see the “Samsung” logo, let go of the power button.
3. After a few seconds you will see a screen that has red writing and a few lines of text, that is CWM.
Or while on a custom ROM just hold the power button until the menu pops up and hit Recovery.

My Atrix II got an OTA recently to 4.0.4 and now it gets the Battery OK, Ok top program, plug in USB DATA cable.
I managed to get to the screen with an Recovery option but no matter what I do it just boots into safe mode.
Any help would be great. I searched but found other device threads only.
If you power down the phone, hold down BOTH volume rockers, then hold down the power button down, it should boot into fastboot. Then use the down volume to select normal power up and see what it does.

im using a tmobile samsung galaxy reverb and i installed cwm and a new rom. all was good till i installed rom toolbox and i was using the boot animation randomizer. it worked fine the first reboot then the next one the boot image never left the screen but i can rotate my screen and see half of my home screen also go into all my apps but i cannot see the upper/left half of my screen. i held down the power and vol down button and it goes to into the warning page about istalling a custom OS instead of CWM. can anybody please help me out with this???!!!
Is I'm not mistaken.. You want to power off your device. Then press power, home, and volume up to get to recovery.. (Not sure about home). I do know that volume down sends you to "download" which is not what you want.

Hello,
I've got a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210 . Here's what i've done:
1. I've flashed him with TWRP recovery using ODIN.
2. Recovery didn't work, but main OS booted fine.
3. I did something stupid. I've clicked factory reset and confirmed it.
4. Now device boots up, tries to go into recovery mode and fails and it's stuck in a loop. (logo shows up, then black, litted screen, then power off)
I have no connection with PC - dmesg on Linux is totally silent, Windows doesn't see the device too. Can't do anything.
Is there anything I can do ? Is there a "hardware" way to reset it without using JTAG (just tell it to boot into main OS instead of recovery)? I'm an electronic but i don't specialize in phones and tablets so I don't have JTAG interface and it's pretty expensive.
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help.
Ok nevermind. I've got it working.
Somehow the download mode went to HOME+POWER+VOLUME DOWN instead of HOME+POWER+VOLUME UP as it was normally.
I was able to flash newest CWM and everything is working fine.

Download mode on Samsung has ALWAYS been volume down+home+power or volume down+power, not volume up.
Recovery on Samsung has ALWAYS been volume up+home+power or volume up+power. Most if not all devices use the volume up to boot to recovery.
