I believe it's actually press&hold power up, then press volume up.
Moot point for the OP, but good to know for future problems.

Hey guys when I encountered the problem earlier, I did hold volume and power all I got was a blue screen. How do I exactly go about re flashing recovery

To get to STOCK recovery from fastboot, it's select "boot recovery" then power FIRST, then while HOLDING power, it's volume up. You can't do it the other way.
To flash a new recovery, it's fastboot mode on the phone, then on your computer (hooked to the phone via usb) the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". (recovery.img is replaced by whatever name your recovery image actually has.)

Bricked?

Hi guys.
Just after downloading and installing the new update for my Desire S, it now seems to be bricked...
It installed succesfully, rebooted, and it was stuck at the bootscreen.
Then I pulled out the battery, booted again and still stuck at the bootscreen.
I can get into "hboot" (holding volume down+power) but when I select "recovery" in that menu, it shows a red explanation mark.
How can I fix my phone?!
Thanks!

1. Download this http://www.4shared.com/get/JeuI2H2s/...YIMG-3200.html
2. Rename to PG88IMG.zip and put on sd-card
3. boot with vol-down pressed
4. wait.. press vol-down (yes) to install
5. reboot with vol-down pressed
6. select recovery and press enter.
7. wait
8. use recovery
does that help?
@Adidas108: thanks again! yeah I think for the next months I stay with stock need to relax a bit after this

Although I don't know how people having this problem can get the PG88IMG.zip on the sd-card, just a tip; I used a sd-card reader.
UPDATE: Yeah, it worked! thank you man!

good for u man
never pull out battery.better use volume up+down+power button to restart phone.
cheers

Glad to hear you sorted it. An I'm glad I stumbled across this because I am guilty of doing numerous battery pulls x x glad I know about this reset technique now. Thanks again guys. Also I would recommend Endymion Rom sense 3.5. No problems as of yeaterday and really smooth. I even have around 250mb free ram most of the time. Happy flashing.

Stock Recovery missing :(

Hello,
i need to send back my phone to google, so i restored the stock ROM without any problem. BUT :
i had 3 errors messages during the installation process :
image does not contain boot.sig
image does not contain recovery.sig
image does not contain system.sig
The most annoying is : when, via the fastboot access, i try to go to the recovery mode, i have only an android icon with a red pannel. no recovery anymore.
what happened ? how to restore the sotck recovery of my nexus 5 ?
thanks,
regards

When you're in the recovery with the red exclamation mark hit vol up.

That is the stock recovery. See above for how to actually use it, but there isn't much you can do with it.
EDIT: Isn't it vol up + power?

Vol up has always worked for me but I've seen others where vol up + power is required

Volume up will do.

yes i saw it... omg. The android icon with the red /!\ is not clear.
for me, it was the recovery is missing ( since i had these message with "recovery.sig" and other files .sig missing ).
thanks for the tips to access to this poor recovery.

Dead android with the door open and a red triangle with exclamation mark.
Cant even wipe the cache partition.
Cant 'reboot system now'.
Had to do the battery pull.
Started fine.

Nope! To get into recovery mode (at least for the BLU Advance 4.0L A010U) you do the following:
1. Press (and keep holding) the Volume button in the middle so that both UP and DOWN are simultaneously pressed
2. Press (and keep holding) the Power button until you see on the screen two white lines saying:
Recovery Mode: Volume Up
Factory Mode: Volume Down
3. Press Volume UP once (do not hold). The intro logo "BLU Bold like us" will show up for a few seconds. Then you will see a black screen with a dead android, its belly open, a red exclamation mark and a line of white letters below saying:
No command
4. Press once the power button.
You are now in system recovery mode: Use Volume Up/Volume Down to select what you want to do and use the menu button on the lower-left to enter that command.

I need NVRAM file for my BLU Advance L A010. I now have invalid IMEI and I think it's because the phone was formatted but they never reflashed the entire ROM, just system, recovery, boot etc. So phone boots up fine but no nvram is present. If I could get nvram file for this phone, I can update the IMEI using MTK Engineering.
Can anyone help? Or does anyone know where I can get the complete stock ROM for this device. Most stock BLU ROMs posted online only provide the basic images needed to recover the device.

[Q] Not booting to stock recovery???

hello guys,
I have successfully installed the Lollipop release LRX21o... Initially i used the flash-all.sh method... it gave me an error first.. so i clicked flash-all.sh once again.... then it installed everything without any error... Phone booted and everything was working fine.. but when i tried to load the stock recoevery (to wipe everything) pressing the vol + button on recovery screen doesnt get me any where.. all i can see is the android with red triangle.
I tried the manual process of flashing the rom.... same thing happened..
I havent tried any custom recover image.. .So cant tell about others.
Are u guys having the same problem???
Is there any work around?

Have you tried manually reflashing recovery?

I tried manually flashing every .img files (the manual method of installing).. so technically i flashed it manually. everything went well. so it is definitely installed but not working. thats why im quarrying. Anybody facing the same issue??? ( i will try to reflash the recovery only will report.)

The way to get into the stock recovery menu is not by pressing the vol + button.
When you see the Android with the exclamation point, you need to HOLD the power button and then press volume up.
