Hey guys,
I have a problem since 2 weeks now and it seems there is no answer to is...
I installed TWRP and also installed after the CWM recovery for trying purposes...
Here is my problem: After installing either of the recovery mode... Normally I switch off my phone after I "simply" need to press volume up button and power button simulatiously.... BUT it blo**y does not work.
So I wanted to ask: What am I doing wrong?
I have the TWRP-2.8.6.0_S90 and/or CWM_6.0.5.1
Help is much appreciated!
I tried something unconventional. I pressed the volume up and volume down key simultaneously while power on the device and twrp recovery booted up. Try yours.

Is it possible to enter CVM Recovery directly in boot.. Not via CWM Manager?
Like on Xperia X10 you can press multiple times on the back button to enter xRecovery.
The reason I am asking this ridicilous question is that I am feeling ready to try a custom ROM, but if I mess something up, i.e. bootloop, phone stuck, etc. it is nice to get into recovery and install a backup (I NEVER install a custom ROM without a new backup - did it once - never again ).
Power off and then power on again whilst holding home and volume up. That enters recovery, or clockwork recovery if you have it.
Do the same, but with volume down to enter download mode (for flashing with the likes of Odin).

Hi everyone, my vibrant fall into water last week and now the power button is broken ( phone still work fine, and i can lock/unlock with volume button). The problem is i want to flash new rom, i can boot into CWM recovery, i can go up/down but i can't use power button to select. I'm looking for one of 2 options:
1: is there anyway that i can re-map button under CWM setting ?
2. is there 4ext touch recovery available for samsung vibrant like the one for htc sensation/my touch 4g?
( i already searched for hours but still can't find the answer,)
thank in advance!
So I installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200985) a few days ago w/o much trouble. Today I updated the ROM to version 2.4 (first used wipe.zip and then the rom). When I rebooted my tab I got stuck at a bootloop (the ROM's logo keeps showing up) and it seems I'm unable to get into recovery.
AFAIK, I should get into recovery by pressing the VOLUME UP & and the power button simultaneously, but nothing happens when I do this. Getting into fastboot isn't a problem, but I just can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Can I access my recovery menu through the fastboot via the SDK manager? Did I use the correct buttons to get into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You should push on both Power Button and Volume Down buttons. Right after the Samsung logo shows, you will see two menus, let go of both buttons immediately and choose your recovery boot. i hope this will help your problem
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 bought a phone from China - JiaYu G4s. It came with Android 4.2.2, so I decided to install kitkat. Kitkat worked well, but I knew it is not enough. I found Cyanogenmod 12.1 for that phone. I installed it, but forgot to wipe /data and /cache and it was crashing. I tried to access recovery, but I didn't know how (Clockworkmod recovery carliv 4.4, I had a custom ROM, where when I long pressed power buttom, there was a option to reboot in recovery). My preloader never worked, so I couldn't access files from computer. So I rebooted my phone and in setting press factory reset. My phone rebooted to recovery and a sign "Processing" appeared. But It crashed and I had to reboot my phone. Now I'm stuck in boot animation, I can't go recovery, I can't access my phone from computer. I can't do anything (I think so). Can someone help me?
Power off your device then try these buttons one by one to enter recovery
1. Power button + Volume up + volume down(this one should work)
2.Power button + Volume Down
3.Power button + Volume Up
Try volume down + power button to enter the fastboot mode and flash your recovery or rom again
