[Q] Can't get to recovery mode on Nexus 4 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus 4 (4.4.4) is stuck in a boot loop. It gets to the boot screen but is stuck in a loop there forever. I have tried accessing recovery mode by holding volume up + down + power, but it just shows the Google logo and then transitions into the boot screen with the four colors moving around. How am I able to get to recovery so I can restore the Factory Image? I have gotten up to step 3 in this tutorial ( ht tp://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-4-rooting-roms-hacks/223923-guide-nexus-4-factory-image-restore.html ), but I can't progress further since it seems it can't find the device through USB without being in recovery mode.
Any help? Thanks!

"accessing volume up +down+ power" - it is wrong! You must accesing power + short press volume up.Then you will get to recovery mode

[q] booting recovery image and then gtab shuts down

I am running cyanmod 7 and it works ok.
I am trying to upgrade to flashback. I hit the power button and + volume at the sametime. I see text saying detect a recovery key was presses. Then it says booting a recovery image and the screen goes black. The grab is off.
I tried placing clockworksmod8 the internal and external sdcards and tried the power + volume and the screen goes black I had on the gtab and I don't know what happened to it).
I tried running nvflash but it tries to install and apx driver and goes into a found new hardware loop.
What do you suggest I try next?
Is there a Recovery option when shutting down from the menu?

Can't access recovery menu. Is my 10.1v bricked?

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

Stuck in boot loop with a faulty home key, Cant get to download mode on the S6 Edge.

Hello, all.
I have a tricky problem here.
Let me tell the background of the problem first.
Basically, I flashed cf-autoroot using odin on my phone and it restarted all perfectly, then I restarted it to download mode using pc command "adb reboot download" since trying from my phone always gets stucked on download mode warning screen, PRESSING VOL UP DOES NOTHING.... When I reached download mode, I FLASHED TWRP V2.8.0 using ODIN, it went directly to home screen not recovery, then I powered it down and restarted it to recovery mode and since then its stuck on Samsung boot logo with 'recovery not seandroid enforcing screen' . I tried to boot into download mode using VOL DOWN + POWER KEY since my HOME BUTTON IS FAULTY AND DOESNT WORK. So, I get to the download mode warning screen, BUT pressing volume up OR volume down does nothing and I have to keep POWER + VOL DOWN pressed for about 10 seconds again to come to download mode warning screen. How can I go to download mode when I cant access the TWRP recovery and also have A NON-WORKING home button .
URGENT HELP NEEDED, PLEASE.

[Q] Bootlooped, can't access download or recovery

Hello,
as I wrote in this (now locked) thread, I installed Superior OS and got stuck in bootloop. I get "Galaxy S9+" screen followed by system bootanimation, which repeats itself indefinitely. It doesn't restart by itself, it just boots endlessly.
The problem here is that I can't access recovery or even download mode. I tried to restart (power + volume down) and then quickly press combination to access recovery or download mode. No luck. I couldn't even turn the damn phone off. I just kept restarting.
So I let it drain the battery hoping I could then power the phone on with correct key combination. I tried holding bixby button + volume down while inserting USB. It just started booting up to system with boot animation. I tried holding bixby + volume up, or even power + bixby + volume down. No luck either.
I got correct USB drivers installed, as I flashed the phone with Odin in the past. Odin recognizes phone while it sits on boot animation, but it won't start flashing. ADB or fastboot do not work on bootanimation, as the ROM is freshly installed. I presume it has ADB turned off by default...
I'll be grateful for any ideas and suggestions.
No escape , man. I tried all ( check this rom for galaxy note 9 )
Nice...
I went to service center, they said they can fix it for me. 40 euros for reflash (download mode isn't necessary), 100 euros for complete unbrick. I hope the unbrick isn't necessary and the bootloader is intact. I'll post with update.
