Are you using Doomlord kernel? As i recall, "reboot to recovery" doesn't work on Doomlord kernel (but you can keep pressing "back" button when powering on to enter recovery). If you are using lupus kernel, use "volume -" button

Um.. both of them don't work.

I don't know if this is related but if i try to connect my phone to the pc, it recognises my phone but when i open flashtool i get the following messages "Checking root access" and then "root access denied" however i'm pretty sure i'm rooted, i mean my superuser app allows other apps such as link2sd and rom toolboxpro access

Your back/volume- button don't work or you are pressing it in wrong way.

As for flashtool, try to update busybox in phone

SE logo? Are you on locked bootloader? With stock kernel?
If answer is yes, i can't help you much, because i don't remember anymore how to install recovery on locked bootloader :rolleyes:
