[Q] Entering recovery mode

---

Hello.

I have a bit of a problem with my unrooted IO tab running 3.1. I can't seem to enter recovery mode.

When I press power + volume down for about 10 seconds I get 2 icons:
- USB symbol
- Shoveling android in triangle sign

Selecting 2nd one gets me into download mode and that seem to work (with ODIN and such..)
1st option should get me into recovery mode ... but that doesn't seem to be working.

When I select it USB symbol stops blinking and this is displayed in top left corner:
Fastboot USB download protocol
Bootloader Version : Unknow
Baseband Version : %s
Serial Number : my_serial_number
Lock Status : UNLOCKED

And the only thing I can do now is press power as nothing else works.

What to do now? Help?

Things I've already tried:
- Using ODIN to install CWM and full stock image
- Using nvflash to install stock, io and CWM recoveries
- More or less everything I've read on this forum :P

Any ideas what to do?

(I can provide more info, just tell me what do you need :P)

Unlike retail Tabs, which give the option of booting into recovery or ODIN, the I/O Tabs give the option of booting into fastboot or ODIN. There's no key-press combination that will get you into recovery.

You can get into recovery using ADB. I think you can also do it with Rom Manager, but you probably need to root for that to work. I don't have a I/O Tab so I don't have any first-hand knowledge on this.
