A while back I flashed my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with a SLIM Rom. I used Odin way back to do get what I needed. It has been a while since I loaded a custom rom, but maybe I am missing a step to get CWM loaded so I can load another custom rom. The following are the steps that I go through.
1. Power the device down
2. Boot the device into recovery mode (HOLD Power button + volume down). the screen says it is in ODIN Mode.
3. Plug in the USB
4. Fire up Odin
5. Load 'GT-P3113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.tar' in the PDA field
6. Click Start
Then the device boots up normally and then loads like normal. How do I get it to boot CWM in the recovery mode?
Hold power + home + bolume up button to boot into recovery

Hi,
I've installed SKY ICS .. THE REAL THING 4.0 following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589977
Using Odin, I've installed the Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613
Now, I'd like to go on recoveery mode.... how is it possible ? Previously when holding the start button, there was an 'reboot using recovery mode' option was there but it is no longer there.
Anybody know how to reboot in recovery mode so I could continue and install the updates ?
Thanks,
Punky.
you just need to restart your phone while holding the vol up and down rockers...this will bring you into recovery (i.e CWM)
if u want download mode (aka odin mode), simply restarting and holding down volume and power will do that as well
Thanks.
I've rebooted hodding volume buttons and it worked......
After that, when I hold the on/off button to reboot, the Recovery option is now available.
Punky.
Hi - I just installed CM7 in Samsung Galaxy S4G T959V and i want to reboot the phone in recovery mode so that i can install CM9. But unfortunately i am unable to reboot the phone in recovery mode. I tried pressing the Volume Up/Down key and Power key together to boot into recovery and it does not work. I went inside the Rom Manager and tried the option boot into recovery mode and still no luck. Can somebody guide me how to go inside recovery mode in CM7. Appreciate your help
Hold down the power button, press Reboot and pick Recovery.

First off uninstall rom manager.
Make sure you are holding both volume buttons together.
If you have adb installed on your pc, plug the phone into your computer and type this.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
gah, nm.

I had the same problem, because I had already taken the 4.0.4 update. The problem I (and I suspect the others) were having is the reboot after Odin installs the CWM. It happens so fast, there's no time to unplug the tablet and do the button dance to boot into recovery. As a result, the normal boot goes through, and runs the install-recovery.sh that Ryan79 mentioned in system/etc, restoring stock recovery.
Here's how I solved it:
1). On Odin, uncheck "Auto Reboot".
2). Install CWM6.
3). When it goes green, unplug the tablet (still in "download" screen).
4). Reboot manually into recovery (hold power + Vol. left, release power, hold vol. left until CWM screen comes up). I did this straight from the "download" screen. The tablet powered off after a few seconds of holding the power button, then came up to the samsung screen, then I released the power button and continued to hold the volume button until CWM6 loaded.
5). I installed the cwm-root-gtab2.zip file.
6). I selected YES when the "Stock Reboot Fix" question appeared.
Rebooted from recovery, Successful root! Looks to me like the "fix" simply renames the install-recovery.sh, removing the ".sh" at the end. I have now rebooted a couple of times normally, and can still access CWM6 through the buttons.

OK, I have a GS3 here with a broken power button, which was causing all kinds of problems when the phone was running, and making it impossible for me to boot into recovery. I've physically removed the power button from the motherboard, and now I can boot the phone by holding volume down + home while plugging the phone into USB power. That gets me to Download mode, where I could just reboot to my ROM.
So that was fine, but I just made a booboo and when I was in recovery flashing a new ROM, I wiped Data instead of Dalvik, so now I have no ROM installed. I therefore have no way to reboot into recovery to fix the problem, the only thing I can boot to is Download mode.
So, is there a way to get to recovery mode from download mode? Some command in Odin or something? If not, I can still use Odin to flash it back to stock (pre-ML1 bootloader of course), re-root, flash a recovery, etc. but I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Answering my own question...
You can do this by booting in download mode (hold home and volume down while plugging in USB), then once you're in download mode, reboot (hit volume down button) and instantly hold down volume up and home. That gets you into recovery.
I'm using ODIN to install TWRP but after the install I'm still being put into the stock recovery screen, I have Auto Restart disabled under ODIN and I access recovery mode with power + vol up + home buttons and letting the power button go as soon as I see the logo but still holding onto the vol up + home button. This is done immediately after the ODIN install. I have tried multiple times leaving the Downloading Mode using power + vol down and entering recovery mode as well as removing my battery after the TWRP install and booting directly into recovery mode but all of them give me the stock recovery.
Re-flash Stock ROM to get rid off of all mods you applied. Then try again.
I haven't installed anything other than TWRP and if I do a normal boot the phone acts as if nothing ever happened, but I will try with a stock ROM install as well and check if it changes anything
I managed to root it for anyone with the same issue, the tutorial I was following seemed to have a faulty TWRP, the links on the official site work, the magisk method didn't work for me so I used the supersu method which worked perfectly.
