This does not work, holding volume down + Power get's you to fastboot mode.
No sense just copy and pasting some crap from a completely different handset and just confusing people.

For recovery press VOL+ and POWER button :good:
It's not VOL-

More simple
-choose update app
-three point in right corner
-reboot (recovery)

---

just press power, select reboot..while its rebooting(white circle progressing) press vol UP (vol+) until you see the MI logo...and wallah, you will be in recovery mode.....

Wrong again!
You posted the same erroneous information on the 27th

Am I reviving a dead thread? Probably.
However, I just thought it would be worth saying that, in my case, pressing POWER + VOL UP (power first, followed by volume up) took me to the recently installed TWRP

I'm trying to ressuscitate my redmi note2 "prime" (whatever that means!...) and i begin to assume that one of the upgrades this "version" got is the recovery 2.01 which either with VOL+ ends in a menu were chinese variants and english are presented to choose and, after that choice shows 4 alternatives:
Reboot (into the old perverse, crippled system!) or i8nstal the update.zip and then produces a banner saying the file is CORRUPTED, so: BACK and then: Reboot or Power OFF and that's it!
Its not a question of volume up or down. It is a sarcastic form to deviate candidates to fly away
to freedom at last: to Cianogenmod! In my case: it is a way to convey the underlying message:
you bricked your rednote2? Fine! Live and learn -- now spare some money and buy another...
But if i am not able to ressuscitate it, instead of buy i'll bye, bye. Said.

There are 2 different topics here;
a. If you want to enter Fastboot (ie to do Flash Update) mode Press Vol Down + Power
b. If you want to enter Recovery mode (ie to do Factory reset) Press Vol Up + Power
I hope this helps
