Didn't see this anywhere quite yet.
To access either mode, you'll need to hold the Bixby button along with the respective volume button when powering on the device.
Bixby + Volume Down then holding down the power button to turn the device on brings up Download Mode.
Bixby + Volume Up then holding down the power button to turn the device on brings up the Recovery console.
Thats alot easier to press

Im pressing several different variations of Vol - + Power Maybe im doing it wrong?
Volume Down and Power button right? I feel Ignorant here this is the first android device i cant figure out how to get into recovery.
yes i have a proper update.zip on my external sd.
Thanks in advance.
Hold the Volume down key and then press and hold the Power key. Don't let go until you see the recovery screen.
I read to turn off your phone and press reset while holding power.
Hope this helps

Huh? Not even close.. If the OP wants to flash an update.zip, he needs to...
1. With device held horizantally, power button on top left, turn OFF the device.
2. Hold down the Volume - button (left side of the volume rocker)
3. Hold down the power button.
4. KEEP BOTH HELD DOWN until you see the Recovery text in the top left corner. This appears a second or so AFTER the Acer logo does.
5. Do not let go too soon or you won't enter recovery mode.
Yesterday I had a hard time trying to boot an L5 (612) to recovery; there are many instructions out there that I was never able to make work, like this one, for example:
Press and hold the Volume down key + Power key, after 2 seconds when the lights go on you have to press 2 seconds on the home button
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, the best instructions I found were on this thread:
turn your device off, then press volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and shows LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.

And the method I found out worked best after some trial and error (and lots of googling):
Power off
Press and hold (Volume down) + (Home) keep holding
Press and hold (Power) and release it (Power) after the phone vibrates.
Keep holding (Volume down) + (Home)
Let about 8 seconds pass and then release (Home). Keep holding (Volume down)
Keep holding (Volume down) until the phone enters recovery
For me, works every time.
I heard about another:
Hold VOL-, HOME and POWER
When it vibrates, hold only HOME
Hold it until recovery shows up
???
PROFIT!
There is a lot of info about key combinations for boot modes, but all of them are either incomplete, wrong or do not clearly state which button is VolumeUp and which VolumeDown. I want to clarify this in a small thread.
Put the tablet in front of you, so the power button is top left. Now we've got the following modes:
Factory Reset - Hold power and right volume button - works?
Update from sd/update.zip - Hold power and left volume button - works
Recovery - Hold power and left volume button - ???
APX - Attach to PC and hold power and reset button - works, display stays off?
Some people state that it is important how to set the the screen lock switch. Is that true?
Could someone please add the info which of the volume buttons increases and decreases volume?
I am not sure about the recovery mode. Does it replace the update mode if TWRP or CWM is installed?
Is "power + volume down" is the way to simulate battery pull like other phones?. I tried it but it does nothing but making me press power buttom twice to start device.
Any info about this? or zen5 does not supported? I nearly can't find anywhere.
All I know about Power + Volume Down is booting to edl mode/download mode or something similar to that. I use Power + Volume down to reflash clean bootloaders using xFSTK (Fixing bricked Zen 5's). If you delay pressing volume down (pressing power first and press volume down as quick as you can before it vibrates) you can reach recovery mode. I think there isn't 'any simulating battery pull' in Zen 5. Only force power off. CMIIW
@ezrawk Got it! Thanks for your explaination.
HELP
My phone's power button is already broken so I can't turn it on using the power button. I tried to by using the charger and hold volume DOWN and HOME button and it takes me to download mode.
But I don't know why I can't cancel it by pressing volume down nor continue by pressing volume up. All I can do is holding volume DOWN, and HOME button again but then it takes me to blue android screen says "no commmand", then recovery mode shows up. So now I'm stuck at the recovery mode.
Can you help me find the solution for this problem?
