Not sure how many know , and this will be useful one we get root and roms
To boot into hboot, hold VOL down and power button while powering on.
Fast boot must be disabled or you must pull battery. (Thanks mallman)
When you choose recovery, you must press VOL up + Vol dwn + Pwr to access recovery options (Stock recovery) (Thanks erismaster)
Should post a full How To in the Dev forum so it can be stuck and referred to more often. It's going to get buried here in the General board.

I believe that's not the case. I just tried that after power down, works fine.

if you choose recovery from hboot and go to stock android recovery, pressing in both volume buttons, and the power button brings up the options to reboot now, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache.
thanks for this!

Don't flash anything yet. Try to do a factory reset.
Hold Vol + and - and Power button to go into Boot mode.
Press vol - once to go down to Recovery
Press Vol + once enter recovery
Press Vol - twice to select data/factory reset
Press power button to enter, then vol - to select yes to confirm reset.

What did you do before hand. Were you doing anything different or you just turn it off and on. And it did it on its own?

Flashing fastboot will restore to stock rom. Do this at your own risk, though I have flash fastboot files with no problems there's always some risk involved.
Charge your battery to full before flashing.

When you see the Droid laying on his back puts both volume buttons at the same time, that well get you into recover. Continue from step 3

Thank you man it worked :victory:
How do you cold reboot the phone directly into Clockwork recovery? IE not from selecting it from a running rom - like from a battery pull.
The EVO it was something like power and volume up if I remember right.
How do you do this?
Thanks

Volume-down and power button (simultaneously) till the screen says fastboot. Then press volume down button until you see Android Recovery. Finally press the volume-up button to select.
Remember:
Volume-down to choose
Volume-up to select
I always get confused a lot!!

Or you can download- recovery manager-, free from the market.it has an option to reboot strait into your cwm recovery (which in my case is romracers)

I have an odd problem. I can re-boot into recovery just fine if I select Reboot into Recovery from within my ROM. However, if I have my phone off and just want to go straight into Recovery I'm having a problem.
Pushing Vol- and the Power button at the same time just gets me a regular startup of the phone instead of booting into Recovery. Am I doing it right?
Had the same problem when stock. Only way I could get my phone to boot into recovery then was to use the commands from the Rezound All-In-One Toolkit 2.0.
I currently have Amon-Ra 3.15 installed & am S-Off with CONROM V4.

The Vol- and Power button has to be done in a certain way.
I think you press Vol- first, then power, and make sure you hold both of them for around 5 seconds.
Make sure you have fastboot in the settings unchecked. Power off. Press vol - , hold, and press power and hold until you get hboot.

I cant boot on recovery mode.
Am i doing somthing wrong, when i press Volum Down + Power?
Its just boot normaly, but in homescreen say is "Safe Mode"
What to do?
pull battery, reinsert battery, hold vol. down, while holding vol. down, hold the power button down til u see your h-boot screen, when your there choose recovery. or u can download a app from playstore called quickboot, it'll give u all kinds of powering down options. including boot into recovery...

ok I made a back up of the stock rom and did a complete wipe and flashed a rom and it wouldn`t even boot so I tired a few different button combinations to get back to recovery to do a restore, and i can get fastboot mode but tried to use the volume up and down to select recovery and I can`t , what sequence of buttons do you use to get you in to recovery ?:silly:

thanks, yeah I just figured it out, its weird that when the phone is completely shut off I do the volume up then press power button on, it takes me to fastboot, but if I keep holding volume up and release the power and push power button for the second time then it enters recovery every time, kind odd to me but it works
ok I was playing around again entering recovery manually and now I can`t everytime I hold volume up and power button and goes to fastboot, then I did the second press of the power goes right to fastboot again, is there something jack up with my phone?
hmm that kinda odd... what ROM are you trying to flash?
From bootloader screen use vol up twice then power, or vol dwn twice then power.

Glad it worked. This app is nice, but need to be booted.

Also you can reboot into recovery from TiBU
Hi All.
I might be missing the obvious here but how do you get into recovery on these things?
I've read loads of posts and tried various combinations with Vol+/- and Power, Wait for the light then do the same..... Nothing!!
I've put root on it it but left the bootloader looked. The device says I can unlock it if I want. It's the 16GB Wifi model (UK)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Thanks

Maybe you;re mixing the fastboot method and cwm method on your head..
if you're question is how will you get to recovery then my answer is VOL UP.
power on your xtz and when the "SONY" shows up simply spam the vol up and you're good :good:

LOL, I even ended up on the Urban Dictionary... I'm thinking..Oh no, it's one of those young people phrases again!!
Thanks again for the help though, I'll get that dual recovery installed I think. I'm not even planning on flashing it. I just want a good backup.
Hello Zach181,
have succeeded in holding the vol up ?
I have the same trouble and can't access the recovery mode.
press power on
wait for the sony logo to appear
hold the vol up button
but nothing happens, it boots in the normal way.
thanks
Let's try to make it clear.
The device does not come from factory with any button combination that can get you into any recovery.
You need to flash a custom recovery first.
The process for "XZDualRecovery" is to wait a second after the sony logo appears and then when the notification light turns green hold Volume Up for CWM, Volume Down for TWRP.
Might be different for other recoveries, but at least try this method.
Let me clear it too...
its NOT HOLD
but SPAM or KEEP PRESSING

What works for me is HOLD the correct volume button, but not from the start, but from the time the LED turns green.

I must admit that I have put it in fastboot but only if holding from the power on and not pressing repeatedly. I've been too engrossed with my new toy to try much but I will sort recovery today.
So what we are saying is...
No recovery Installed
Power and hold Vol up = Fastboot
Recovery Installed
Power (Wait for light) Vol up = CWM ---- Vol Down = The other one (Forgot the name)
That still leaves us with fastboot mode with recovery. Would that be as I said at the beginning of this post... Power on and hold Vol Up straight away (Don't wait for the light)
.
