(Q) Key Combo To Enter Recovery

---

Does anyone know if this phone has a key combo that will get you into recovery and or reboot your device? My sgs2 has this feature. All you have to do is hold all three buttons for a few seconds and it reboots, a couple seconds longer than that it reboots into recovery. I really hope that samsung implemented a similar feature because that came in handy

Vol up + vol down + power
it brings you to a bootloader. press vol down until you see Recovery and when it goes there hit Power.

This does not work if the device is really hung, e.g. if /init is bad. For that situation is there any alternative to pulling the battery? I'm hoping to preserve /proc/last_kmsg, which only a soft reset does.

Not that I'm aware of, the phone won't even respond to any commands through the prompt unless your in fastboot or android.
