Hi, I'm new to this phone and I while I was trying button combinations to enter the recovery mode, I ended up hard resetting my device...
So, my question is:
Which button combination gets you into recovery mode?

As far as I know:
1. DOWN + Power = Fastboot
2. UP + Power (Hold for a long time) = Hard Reset

I was trying to get my cache wiped because I was stuck on the lock screen after getting the latest security update, and I just got the phone today!

Thank you all,

Daniel

I'm sorry if I sound rude, but did you actually try that method? Don't bother doing it if you are scared of a hard reset (read: wipe data).

I tried rebooting to the recovery via ADB and it didn't work either. I guess this phone doesn't have an user accessible stock recovery...
you're absolutely right, I did not work here too :(
