Unable to boot into cwm recovery...

Hi,
I've rooted my phone and flashed CF CWM into my phone. I'm able to enter CWM recovery via the CF CWM manager app, however when I tried to enter into recovery via the physical keys (powered down the phone, so press and hold vol down + home key while powering up), my phone just starts up normally and never entered recovery.
Anyone knows what happened?
Thanks.

First, the three button combination for CWM is Volume up + Home + Power.
Volume down is the download mode.
Are you able to get into CWM when not shutting down the phone?
Just hold Volume up + Home + Power for about 10 sec and hold the buttons until you see the Galaxy Note screen.

its working now, i pressed the wrong button combinations LOL.
Thanks for your help

You are either doing it wrongly, or the volume-down button isn't working. It's as simple as that.
To diagnose, make absolutely sure that CWM is properly installed by following steps 1-3 in this guide.
EDIT: Actually, if volume-down isn't working, you won't be able to start the phone in NVFlash-mode either.
Then try to start recovery again (also by doing it exactly like the guide says.) If you still can't access CWM, then you know for certain your volume-down key is broken and you need to get the phone repaired.

Maybe a "quick shot" but why not to ask: do you keep power and vol down keys long enough? You have to keep them pressed both for quite a few seconds before CWM mode is activated and CWM menu appears. So, just power off your phone, then keep power and "vol -" buttons pressed until the LG logo changes a bit or the CWM menu appears. On my phone it takes about 15 seconds, so no hurry

Volume flex cable

Hello,
When i fixed my screen i broke the flex cable of my volume key half so only the volume down is broken... is there a way to fix this / make the volume up+power button to turn it in to the bootloader becaurse i want to test some roms and if one wont boot i m doomd

Temporary fix:
Use the back key instead of the Volume-Down key to boot, choose Bootloader, then use Volume-Up to select Recovery
(Fortunately you don't need the volume-down in CWM recovery)

Missing CWM recovery??

After flashing kingdroid v3.0 i dont see CWM in my system... it went missing
How to reflash the whole v3.0 properly or how to install the recovery seperately?

can you reboot into CWM recovery?

Press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously. This will reboot your device into recovery mode. What recovery do you see?

nothing
nope as if it never got installed with the rom itself
vol+ menu + power didnt see nothing... hmmm this is so weird everything else works fine with root access ???

Press vol up+home button+power button and keep holding all three buttons until your device switched on.

Power your phone off, push and hold volume down, then hold power button as well and hold it for a few seconds. Then you ll reboot to recovery or simply boot the phone, hold the power button, choose reboot, in the next menu choose boot recovery and done.

doesnt work.

simple use SFT.

there is PBR (iirc, pseudo-boot recovery, button combo to enter recovery, cmiiw) on cm10. I think cm10.1 also has it.
turn on the phone, focus on led button, when it start blink for the first time press volume down + power button. You should press it at the right time to make it work. Tried it couples of time.

thank you, it works!
