Why is there not an easier way? If you're stuck in a boot loop you would basically be screwed..
Other phones I've owned there was always a way, like hold volume up and power button. Am I just being a noob or is the only way through ROM manager?
Ummm..hold volume up+down while powering on. Release power button when the phone vibrates (continue holding volume up+down)
Where in the world did you get the impression rom manager was the only way

Hold volume up and volume down thn. press power and let go of power while still holding the volume keys. There is an easy way thats it. What made u think there was not?
It doesn't seem to work for me.. It takes me to Odin target mode..
I'm using a Canadian Rogers version btw
I installed cwm a second time through room manager and it seemed to work now.
Thanks guys.

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

so it just boots up normally like it would when you only pressed the power button?
Vol down, Vol Up, Power, Camera.

yep that button combination worked thanks dude
Not a problem, if you have any questions feel free to pm me
your right i changed my post. dont know why i thought that! thanks for the quick catch
So I flashed CleanROM 3.0.
The problem is, I always mess up the button presses when rebooting to recovery. On my Atrix (CM7), and my Transformer (Revolver), there was a simple "boot to recovery" option.
Anyone know of a method to get this done on the HOX?
Not really being a noob, but my fingers aren't very coordinated...lol.

In Clean ROM, just hold down the power button and choose reboot > reboot bootloader.
Or download a reboot app from Google Play such as Quick Reboot.
Quick boot works well
This is a bit silly but I can't seem to be able to get into the bootloader if my phone is off.
I can get into it by when it's on by holding Vol Down when resetting it but holding Vol Down while holding the power button when it's off doesn't seem to be working. If I let go of Vol Down, it just boots up normally.
most of the time I'm booting to recovery my phone is connected to my computer because I've just put a ROM on SD card storage
so I just adb reboot recovery

Don't let go of volume down at all until it's in bootloader.

Disable Fast Boot (settings > power).
Yeah disable fast settings but I always have problems too. What I do, I hold power and volume down, and if it doesn't work I let go of power FIRST. Then the next time I try it almost instantly boots into BL. But most ROMs have "reboot into recovery" option under the reboot when you hold down the power button while the phone is actually booted up. Every ROM I've tried on here does including CM9.
Turns out I wasn't holding it down for long enough, especially compared to my old Desire which was much quicker.
Thanks.
Thanks guys, I completely missed the option in the power menu while hitting restart lol.

Okay guys, I have an annoying problem. My phone after the ICS update does not want to go into CWM Recovery with the Power button + vol down (or up) method. I can never get the darn thing to work. It just loads up until the white samsung logo and then goes black and just vibrates. Any idea what could be the problem? It's an issue because it means I can't root or anything since stock won't allow me to go into recovery. The only way I used to get into recovery was through rom manager and I obviously need super user permissions to do that.
Another thing is, whenever I power on my phone with the usb cord plugged in, it automatically enters download mode. I know you're suppose to hold certain buttons but I just power the thing on and it goes straight to the DL mode screen. I'm thinking these two things could be related.
Any idea on how to fix this? I went back to complete stock and it didn't do a thing.

My phone was being a bit finicky with this as well, I found the below sequence to work for me every time.
Press and hold both vol+ and vol-
Press and hold power
Wait until phone is vibrating once every couple of seconds
Release power
Release vol+ and vol-

u need to b specific to get proper help.
u stated "Either way, the methods don't work ", specifically what methods r u talking about, there is only one method in using the buttons that works as RabidSmurf has stated, but first pull battery and dont keep usb plugged in, if that didnt work redownload cwm, check the md5 checksum and reflash using odin
To get into download mode I'm holding power+vol up+vol down
after the phone starts up release the power and keep holding up+down.
Let me know how it works.

Make sure it is not attached to any USB. Not even the power outlet because it will take you to firmware update mode (download mode) and hold up down volume keys and power until you see the white Samsung logo. good luck!
i had to deal with this when the firmware failed to ugprade for some reason, what i did was download odin and the stock rom and flash it with odin, i was back up in no time
Not booting
Frnds plz help
After flashing am n m same soc chipset custom rom my phone is not going in cwm also another problem is after pressing the power button the phone screen is gping black n then boot audio is playing but phone is not booting completely.
To be more specific i have cqnvas 2 plus with mt6589 and pne site there was eom name note 5 evolution for a116 hd with same soc i.e. mt6589 hence i flashed the rom it flashed succesfully also but then the problems occurred.
Plz help me fast thx in advance.
I was just flashing the CM10 ROM on my phone. Pity did I know that I needed to flash the boot.img file also,so now I am stuck in a boot loop. The problem is that when I hold the power button to shut down the device it seems to be restarting. So holding volume down button and power button isnt actually bringing me to the bootloader.
What can I do to solve this problem? Is there a way I can revive my phone? I need help.

Press and hold power button. After touch buttons on the bottom flash *5 times(i think), the screen will go black. When the screen goes black, let go of power and press and hold volume down.
Thanks man. That works
