Why can't I open my Spring Galaxy SII in Recovery Mode?

Cannot open Spring Galaxy SII in Recovery Mode

I recently upgraded my Sprint Galaxy SII to ICS. Now, try as I might, I cannot get into Recovery Mode. After powering down I tried holding vol-up and vol-down+power and it went past recovery and booted normally. I tried over and over again.
Vol-down+power does put me into Download Mode.
