Not sure if anyone has mentioned, as i searched first. But to get into the stock android recovery do this. Turn phone off, hold volume down and press and release the power button. Choose recovery, phone will boot to a triangle, at this point hold down the power, volume up, and volume down at the same time and release. You should now be in stock recovery. This used to be a way to reboot the evo when stuck at boot, but it works to get into recovery as well on the 3d.
Sorry if this is common knowledge, i have seen people here and in the sensation threads that seem to imply there is no way to get into stock recovery.
Thanks, and this should help anyone wanting to do a factory reset or wipe cache from a "recovery" session.

Hi all. I was running CM7 on my photon. I need to relock it so I can have Sprint fix a headphone jack issue. I followed all the instructions on relocking via FullSBF flash. Now my phone is on a constant boot loop. It goes to the motorola splash screen and circles are coming from the Big M and then it restarts. It keeps doing this. I tried pulling battery but it keeps happening. How can I fix this???
This is an example, that something is not good. So many threads, just because people don't know how to wipe data in stock recovery.
Start the phone while pressing volume down, when you see fastboot, keep pressing volume down, until you see Android recovery, press volume up, when you see exclamation mark, press both volume buttons. The rest is the same like in CWM recovery.

I did that before I started flashing but yea I did it again and its good now. I was about to edit my threat because its working now.
So true. So many pple run into the same issue and all it needs is a reboot.
In the thread where it says how to relock this should be included in big bold red letters

I tried flashing a stock Android 4.2 JB ROM that seems legit. After flashing, I rebooted my device and saw the standard Nexus boot animation. So far, I though all was well. It's not. My phone has been stuck in this constant booting state for hours. I pulled the battery after an appropriate amount of waiting and held down the power and volume down+up button. Instead of booting into Fastboot mode, it went straight to Odin Mode. All I can do with my device is boot to Odin Mode or watch the Nexus boot animation over and over again. Does anyone know the solution to my problem or some sort of utility that will help me? Thanks.
Ahh bootloops...Have you tried pressing volume down+up first, then power? Sometimes holding power, then pressing volume down first goes directly to odin mode, not recognizing the later push of volume up. I've never used odin mode..Can you boot straight to recovery, volume up+power? And do you have cwm? If you were not on stock before, then you need a factory reset before it'll boot, and perhaps even a cache wipe.
And i'd bet youd find more help if this was posted in the nexus q&a.
I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
I am using i777 with neatrom 8.0. no problem since last 1 year. But now SU asked for update and then told to press continue> the two option were Normal or TRPU/CMW. on pressing TRUP/CMw option phone rebooted and is just showing SAMSUNG logo and does not go further. please tell what i can do now.
Can you boot into recovery? If able to, perform a wipe data/factory reset.
Help

Recovery is power+BOTH volume buttons. For next time, always choose "Normal" when updating SuperSU binaries.
@rkgarg2000,
I'm not on here as often anymore. Sorry I missed your response and pm.
Did you get the issue resolved? As Steve says, hold down all three of vol up, vol down, and power buttons to enter recovery. Once in recovery, perform a wipe data/factory reset. Let us know if you have additional issues, or if that does not solve the problem.
I've tried holding Power + Vol Down, i've tried letting it go and re-holding it when the LG Logo appears. I have TWRP installed, and i want to be able to boot into recovery incase something goes wrong with my system, but nothing i do seems to help.;
Only thing i can do is hold all 3 buttons, allowing me to disable "Hardware key control mode". How do i get this thing into Recovery?
What happens when you hold the power and volume down buttons? Do you get the stock recovery? If so, choose Factory Reset and that'll take you to TWRP.
Power + Vol Down, Factory Reset.
If unable to get into Bootloader, i found out personally that i just wasnt holding the Volume Down button hard enough.
[Youtube video on how to actually do this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-cTpsDLNF8)
Also, keep in mind for the Verizon G3, when you enter the recovery, you will NOT be asked to reset your data, but there will be five options and one of them is factory reset. That's where you want to go. Nothing is actually reset.
