Hey. I'm having an issue. Currently running latest cm-nightlys, well I was. I wiped/factory reset wiped dalvik and cache. Upon installing ROM, Paranoid Android 4.0 Beta 3 It just stood there. Frozen. I felt so cold and alone I waited 10 minuets, still nothing. I held down the power button/volume up to get back to recovery but I was unable to....By the way i'm on clockwork MOD 6.0.xx It's probably my fault, I should've installed TWRP instead. I can get to fast boot....I HATE setting up ADB, but I have it installed, not the full version. Can someone HELP?!!? I'm unfamiliar with the comands, and so forth... Thanks in advanced
power button + volume up doesnt take you into recovery. power button + volume down takes you into the bootloader(fastboot), then scroll down with the volume key and choose recovery(while still in the bootloader).
Your install of paranoid wasn't frozen, takes over 15 min to install PA, and the status bar doesn't move either while installing. It is stated in PA ROM section.

Power button + volume up takes you into safe mode does it not?

No. Holding down power off in Android asks you if you want to reboot in safe mode.

Hello all! I was able to get CWR 4 installed on my Augen Gentouch tablet. I booted into it, but then realized I can't move up and down since I have no volume buttons on the device.
None of the buttons do anything, except the power button, which selects the first option (Which is "Shut down" or "Reboot" or the likes)
Any ideas? Is there a magic way to remap keys for this?
I can't even get the stock recovery program back on because CWR 4 has me stuck
Thanks for any help
Same issue!
Got a 8 tablet with samsung S5PV210 ARM A8 Cortex
Three buttons on the front, no volume buttons, so pressing the down volume button and power to get into recovery is not poss? Rom Manager just boots to stock rom even if i press " install rom from SD"
Anyone?
We cant be the only ones who got one of these lol
Cheers

I am using a version of Clockwork Recovery on my Photon that takes over if you have the charge plugged in when you turn it on.

would love to know the answer to this myself.
Solved!
But now i need a good rom?
2. Update your Tablet, using the recovery console
1.- shut down the Tablet
2.- Press the "HOME" Button, and then press the "Power" button TOGETHER about 2-3 seconds.
3.- The android system will start, and stop at a page with a small android robot, press the "power" Button about 2 seconds, and then press the "HOME" together.
4.- The screen will show the below 4 choices:
1) Reboot system panel now
2) apply update from /sdcard
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
Select option 2 by holding down the "Power" button, once complete reboot!

Yeah, that's coming. It has buttons on the screen for navigating the menus. I'm not sure if it's gonna be device-specific though, or if it will be generic enough to include regardless of your device.
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.

I found instructions on how to wipe data/cache for xt926 by holding volume up + down + power and selecting recovery, then hold volume up + down when android guy with triangle comes up. Can someone with a xt925 on rogers/fido give it a try. When I tried it, i can never get it to go past the android guy with triangle. I wonder if rogers/fido gimped the recovery on purpose...

Are you on ICS or JB system ROM?
I have a Rogers XT925 and was able to do the VOL- and VOL+ buttons simultaniously. Actually, I held down the VOL- button and pressed VOL+ and it worked for me.
FYI, my qe is 0/0

On JB now, which is why I need to wipe data/cache. After the OTA to JB, my phone just burns the charge in like 6 hours, someone suggested to wipe data and cache.

I would say to let it run for an entire day without rebooting. You night be stuck building your media cache. I've seen that in the past.

Not familiar with media cache, does it still apply if i have no songs, video or that kind of files on there?
Also, do you mind sharing the dummies step by step on how to get to the recovery menu, tried again, still won't go past the android dude with the triangle icon.
Thanks!

Verify that both your volume buttons work first. I'll make a YouTube video for you shortly

Here's how you do it:
Alternate method
Ensure the device is powered off.
To power off, press and hold the Power button.
Select Power off.
Select OK.
Allow several seconds for the device to power off.
Simultaneously press and hold the Volume up + Power button until the Boot Mode Selection Menu appears then release.
From the Boot Mode Selection Menu screen, press the Volume down key to select Recovery then press the Volume Up key.
From the Droid triage screen:
Press and hold Volume down.
Press and release Volume up.
Release Volume down.
Select wipe data/factory reset.
Utilize the volume keys to highlight and the Power button to select.
Select Yes -- delete all user data.
Allow several seconds for the factory data reset process to complete.
Select reboot system now.
Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.
Initial Activation and Setup.
Hi,
When i press vol down + power button, the oneplus logo appers and then the phone goes off instead of recovery.
I'm using TWRP, Unlocked bootloader, latest CM11S with update cm recovery disabled.
From the power menu i can access the recovery with no issues.
Fastboot combination (vol up + pwr) works fine.
Any ways to resolve this issue? Someone else had this issue maybe?

It's all about timing, once you see the OnePlus logo, let go of the power button.

Thank you for fast replay and support, pressed the thanks button as usual
Yeah if you keep holding the power button it'll force a hard power off I did the same thing when I first started as I kept reading "hold volume down + power button" it didn't say let go of power button lol.

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 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!
