You should read the [GUIDE/HOW-TO] Beginner's "Getting Started" Guide :: Root, Recovery, Roms etc by a.cid.
There are many intersting details, tips and tricks about your device.
Generally, to reboot into “recovery mode”, first shutdown your phone completely, then press and hold power + home button and wait for phone to switch on.
But on some firmware/ROM versions, not all recovery versions are supported.
So to give better help and advices, you need to provide more information.
Please register on xda and ask (with all needed details about your firmware/ROM and recovery versions) in the Galaxy Fit GT 5670 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck !

Bootloop, can get to dowload but not recovery S7562L

Hi, I have a S7562L and tried flashing cm-11-20150323-UNOFFICIAL-kylessopen-RC3.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7562/development/cm11-samsung-galaxy-s-duos-kitkat-4-4-4-t3024762
I have successfully booted up in download and recovery modes, and have also flashed TWRP recovery. Due to bluethooth not operating correctly I deceided to flash back to a stock ROM using ODIN. But now it stays in a bootloop with the glowing "SAMSUNG". I have tried several stock firmwares but same result. I want to try to erase the cache but I can no loger boot into recovery.
Any suggestions on what to try next?

First you should not post this in Android Development forum, Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum is there for this query
Go to downloading mode, then flash stock rom
When whole process is completed and samsung logo is displayed on the screen, take out the battery and place it in again
go to recovery by pressing volume up, down, home and power button and leave it after phone vibrates and shows device model name
factory reset the device from there
This may work for you

Sorry about that I didn't know. (Moderator edit... moved to Q&A)
Anyway I found a way to get in. Instead of pressing the recovery keys from power off, this time when it was in the boot loop I pressed and held the power button and just as it was powering down when the screen went blank, I quickly pressed and held (all four) recovery keys, and that got me in. From there I could the factory reset and wipe the data and caches and all is back to normal now.

[Completed] Please help me! - Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 (GT-6500D)

I wanted to change to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so i opend CWM and formated, wiped cache and dalvik cache. Then I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 and gapps, but the phone came to the samsung logo and kept rebooting, I couldn't open the recovery. So I opened download mode and I installed the stock rom for my country (Croatia), but the phone was again just rebboting, so I installed CWM but I couldn't open it. I tryied to do the same thing with a different version of the stock rom, but it ended up the same, so I even tryied with a Serbian version but it was still just rebooting. Please help me, I can't figure out how to fix my phone.

Hi,
You have to wipe /data partition from CWM when switching to a new rom. This prevents you from having bootloops.

1. Powered off the phone.
2. Press & hold Volume up + Volume down + Home then power on the phone.
3. Wait a few seconds until recovery mode appears
4. Release all buttons.

I do all of that, hold volume up + volume down + home and power, but nothing happens.
Can I open recovery mode in any different way?
