Hold volume up and home buttons and power up to boot to recovery.
I did not discover this, just found it buried in a thread somewhere and thought it should have higher visibility.
Awesome find. Thanks!
Great job

On another note the menu back button is not working for me in cwm. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, for some reason CWM is not recognizing the button mappings. It is on my TO-DO list

So I take it this is working for everyone else? I am still having no luck. I have tried every button combo possible.

I hold the volume up and home key and then power till the samsung logo comes on, then release power. About 5 sec later I release volume up and home and it boots to CWR.
Hope this helps

If you scroll through the menu 3x it will enable go back. Once you select an option it will show up on the menu
Thanks OP for this info. Was able to test on a friend's Charge and it worked. Scrolling through the menu 3x also enabled the Go Back option in the menu.

What was the problem and the solution? I have the same problem.
I was having the same problem earlier. A quick workaround is to start up your phone in download mode (holding the volume up + home + power buttons) and then when it asks for a confirmation, press the down arrow to cancel, and your phone will restart, except this time skipping the check for "unauthorized software."
If this still doesn't work, or you're looking for a permanent fix, flash the PIT file using odin found here.

my tv box stuck on "starting" screen and no moving, i was trying to access recovery mode by pressing the power button while turning on using the physical key but it didn't happen, and while i was trying all the button, it came out to recovery mode but i couldn't make it again crazy right? not sure what was it, it was power button with something else but i tried so many times and i couldn't get anything. now am calling the service to fix it for me.

Im sorry guys taking too long to respond.
here's how its work for me.
1. turn off the android box.
2. before you push the turn on button on android box, press turn button on remote repeatedly.
3. while push button 'turn on' on remote repeatedly, push your android box button 'turn on' once.
4. keep repeatedly push button 'turn on' on your remote until its enter recovery mode.
5. voila.
I'm still exploring this android box. If you guys have better or another idea, better post it in here.
i hope this help. thanks.
Thanks for the tips. Done it but just a little different. Switch on the power button on the back of the stb & immediately after that pressing the red power button on the remote repeatedly. Now it is time to work harder searching for the latest android for this stb.

Does anyone know how to connect this device to computer via ADB? Or how to root it - then I can use ADB via WLAN. Tried Kingroot, no success.

i keyed in 3008 for few times and it was wrong. i had to turn off the stb from the back, now it keeps restarting, i think i screwed up the device!
ok so the password for the recovery is 304830 and from there i managed to roll back to the old software. i re installed all my apps after that . need to call TM to get my IPTV login information.

Does anyone have the software for this box?

Hi all,
I have a quick question, i cant seem to get my A8 2018 (SM-A600FN) into download/bootlaoder mode.
the unlock EOM slider is ticked in dev mode
i tried the volume down + power button but it just boots up normally, i even tried boot in to recovery mode and selected option 2 to load the bootloader but still noting
...
i'm not sure what i do wrong and i looked through the Q&A section of the forum to see if anyone encountered the same issue but no luck yet..
EDIT: Never mined found the solution... Had to connect it to the computer and hit both volume buttons !
Turn off and hold down both at the same time.

Hi Guys,
Sorry, too many posts today!
I want to wipe the cache partition but unable to access service mode on HK Note 20 Ultra.
I turn off the phone then press up and power keys simultaneously but it just boots up the phone without entering service mode.
Is there any other key combination or should I enable something on the phone to access it? Thanks.

Apparently since the September update the. 9860 can't access via button presses. ADB only.
Try plugging the phone to your computer first then do the buttons (volume up and power}. This works for me
