Brand new Note 2 tonight, I just rooted it. But silly me, how the heck do I get into recovery the first time ? Normally I'd have the power menu option, but not yet. I am confused how to restart into recovery.
I tried hold the power button + vol down key, nothing
Power + Volume Up + Home after the phone completely shut down.
Since you're rooted download Quick Boot from PlayStore... there's an option to reboot into Recovery partition without the 3-button process.

If your only rooted you still need to install a recovery that's not stock. Either CWM or twrp of your planning on doing any flashing of roms.

Just get rom manager? If you don't want an app that does it for you, power off the phone then hold power+volume up+home

are you doing all of this?
hold the 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down' buttons and press the 'Power' button to boot the phone into FastBoot Mode, then select 'Recovery mode' by pressing the 'Volume Down' button and then press the 'Power' button to enter CMW Recovery.

I select recovery mode. But when it boots it stays stuck at the google logo. Been like that like 10 or more minutes.
Oh, yeah. I believe the phone's not rooted.
unlock bootloader, it will wipe the device.

i think he is on stock recovery and just wants to wipe the device
I have the same problem. I get stuck on that icon and pressing volume up or down, doesn't bring the recovery menu. I'm on stock 4.1.2 rooted with unlocked bootloader. How do I get the stock recovery to work?

press both up and down buttons together.. i cant remember the exact combo but i think thats it, i had this problem when i first got my gnex couldnt boot into stock recovery..
I had the exact same problem, it has to do with damaged partitioning, which is why re-flashing recovery will not work. For some users this helps, but in my case it did not help. Had to send the phone back to the distributor after only 8 hours of using my brand new phone.

And now my AT&T S3 won't fully boot up. I'm not familiar with this enough to know how to fix it.
It stays on this screen when I power up (see image). Please help!
Try booting to recovery and restoring a backup.

I hold Volume Up + Home + Power, but it goes into Odin mode. How exactly do I boot to recovery?
I think if you can get there then you can connect to odin and flash the stock rom and recovery. basically unroot. I am not sure so don't blame me if something goes wrong.

Volume down + power + home = odin mode (download mode)
Volume up + power + home = recovery
But Odin is all you need to flash a new stock rooted ROM.
If you have any nandroids, then you need to get into recovery to restore it there.
Or you can use command line to restore it but that is complicated and I'm not sure of the steps.
I flashed the ROM from Odin mode but it did not fix it. The same issue persisted.

Nandroid that thing once you get it back to where you like it so you can do it in 5 minutes instead of all night next time.

First, I'll admit I made a mistake. I installed the wrong version of Gapps when I install CM10 and therefore the phone wouldn't boot to setup. However, when I attempted to get back to stock to recover, the phone now gets stuck at the 4th boot screen with the pulsating Samsung. I can only get to Download mode, but I can't seem to get back to CWM Recovery. I have tried reflashing CWM Recovery with Odin, but I still can't get anywhere but to Download mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are stuck and can't get into recovery than you'll have to Odin back to stock there are stickies in these forums on how to do that.
If you can get into recovery and you are just not using the right button combo (vol up + power + home button) than flashing the proper gapps and wiping cache and davlik should fix the issue.

I have attempted to flash back to stock, and Odin reports that it was successful, but it still returns to the same point in the boot sequence and hangs.
When I use Power + Home + Volume Up, I get to the precursor screen for the Download Mode, not CWM Recovery Mode.
Any suggestions as to another way to force my way into recovery mode? I assumed that would be my way out, but I can't seem to get there.

Hold Volume up&home +power until the phone vibrates, then let go of just the power button (continue holding vol up&home).
Once you're in recovery you can flash a different rom, restore a backup, etc.

Make sure your battery is charged to at least 70%. Once done try entering recovery again by holding down vol up + power + home key at the same time until you see the blue text on the upper left hand corner and then let go. If this doesn't work you should be able to enter download mode with vol down + power + home key. If so I'd recommend flashing back to complete stock using ODIN on your pc and start from scratch.

I think people make it more complicated than it needs to be. Press the power button. When the phone vibrates, release it. Hold home+vol up until you see the recovery booting blue text, then release those.
Holding the power button puts the phone in a boot loop. Something I used to do on occasion until I learned it in fact didn't need to be held at all.
you can do this too...wipe data and factory...sometimes happening when i flasshing via odin

Gapps grab what pertain to the rom you are trying (4.2.2 rom --> 4.2.2 gapps)

you must install rom and gapps for your android version without reboots.
Hello, so basically I flashed something and its freezing on the google logo. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal. I'd just boot into recovery and restore a backup. The problem is that my volume up button is broken. So I have no idea how I can get into recovery mode from here. Does anyone know of a way?
Thank you.
adb reboot recovery.

I don't have adb set up, but if I can set it up after my phone is screwed up then I might try that. Vol down + power makes my phone go into odin mode which doesn't help. You have to hold vol up + vol down + power for recovery.

well odin does help you in a way; it gets you back to stock and from there you can put recovery back on, etc
