I apologize in advance for what should be an easy question. I've successfully rooted, unlocked and loaded recovery on to my ATT One X. How the heck to I boot in to recovery on this phone? I've tried holding every button combination conceivable.
Install quick boot. Easily chose boot mode.
Thanks, didn't think to do that!
Power off phone with nothing plugged into it. Then hold volume down and power until phone turns on in bootloader choose recovery.

I just installed the ATT stock ROM rooted, and when I now go into CWM Rom Manager, and try to reboot into recovery, or flash a rom from SD card, it says I need to reboot, then says press ok to reboot, I press ok and it just does nothing. Why isn't it rebooting?
Are you actually getting into CWM? Or is it just prompting you at the HTC bootloader screen to reboot? How did you flash the stock rooted rom?

I get into CWM just fine.
I go into CWM and press install ROM from SD, and select the ROM, then it says i need to reboot to install, I press OK, and then it just goes back to the CWM list of options, so I try "Reboot into recovery" and it just does nothing, as if I hadn't pressed anything, no reboot, nada.
I had this issue before with the ATT rooted ROM... not sure what's going on.
Actually I think I misread your post. Are you even getting out of Rom manager? I always boot into recovery by holding the volume down and pressing the power button from an off state. Rom manager is kind of quirky.

would be nice to have a simple way to boot into recovery tho.
ADB
ADB reboot recovery
Hold down volume and press power from an off state. Scroll down to recovery and hit the power button.

I just restart the phone & wait one sec then use the above method or use CWM.

Coredroid you can press the power button reboot and select recovery.
Both methods mentioned above work.
You can also install quickboot from the market. You can run it, or create a widget to boot directly into recovery.
When holding this combination on booting it used to load EXT4 Recovery but now it doesnt, the phone just boots as normal, anyway to fix this ? :good:
hm, first time i know this...Did you disable fastboot?
Yep thats disabled, even from a battery pull it doesnt do it, very confusing
Just tried reflashing the recovery image, no luck, still doesnt boot into it, I have to hold down volume down & power then choose recovery. Only way it works (or via Phone menu choosing reboot - recovery)
Do you have a custom rom running? If so sometimes developers leave an option to reboot into recovery whit holding the power button and choose reboot > recovery..
Either way try to install cwm and try rebooting into that if it works let me know..
Swyped From My Sensation.
Im using PkMn Charmeleon 5.1, maybe it was disabled then? but there is the option of power button and choose reboot > recovery
Usually if you remove the battery and place it back then volume down and power you will then boot to recovery. At first itooks like regular recovery but once you press recovery it will send you to 4ext. I've had to access my recovery this way when I've been in a bind. It works. No worries you do this and it will.boot you to recovery menu. Use the volume keys to scroll down to recovery and the power key to accept then it will send you to 4 ext. Hope this helps! You can always do this in a pinch too if your stuck and some Rom is not behaving correctly or your in trouble.
This is the times I boot this way. I'm certain it will work for you. Best of luck!

Yeah going through the bootloader is the only option I have other than actually booting into the rom first , just odd it doesn't work when holding volume up and power, never mind. Thanks guys.

I have an htc one s s3, I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a a recovery without any issue, then I wiped data, system and cache and tried to flash an s4 rom (mistakenly, of course and the instalation was aborted and gave me an asserts error), and after that I rebooted my phone without problems but then when i tried to boot into recovery to flash an s3 rom my phone didn't boot into anything, no system, no recovery and no bootloader, my phone shows an HTC screen for a couple of seconds and then the screen goes black but keeps lit. The hard reset flashes the capacitivr keys and again HTC imagr and black screen. I really don't know what to do, please help

I sometimes find that I must hold down only the "volume down" button after pushing the power button to turn it on.
Phone is in bootloop, how do I boot into recovery on start up?

Got my new Oneplus One and rooted it. (CM Version 11.0 xnph25r?). But, when I press Vol Down + Power, it just bootloops into a never ending TWRP logo screen. When I press Vol Up + Power I get a picture of a small Penguin! If I press the Power button by itself it boots normally. So basically my phone works, but I seem unable to boot into recovery mode (which scares the heck out of me). Can anyone venture a guess as to what is going on?
Thanks!

Use fastboot flash another recovery, or redownload another TWRP recovery. Personally I use PhilZ Touch.
I also flashed philz recovery and it is working great, if you can't manually install recovery there are plenty of oneplus toolkits on these forums that just need fastboot.

Thanks. I'll try that and rport back tomorrow!
Yes use a toolkit from here and install philz recovery. All should be good

I wiped everything - including the OS-- and can only get the "penguin" when holding Vol UP + Power.
Anyone want to buy a nice looking paperweight?
I truly feel sorry for you, so no fastboot at all? And did you try different Oneplus One toolkits?

no fastboot at all...jeez
pouring myself a large drink now!
Maybe you can talk with a Oneplus Rep and tell them you received a phone that would never boot up? I just read on a XDA forum that if you hold you power button for 30 seconds 5 times it will reset a certain chip. It actually worked for a couple people. I would give it a try if I was you.

The penguin IS the fastboot. So this is what u do (having properly installed ADB and have android SDK):
First in android SDK folder go to platform tools where fastboot.exe is located. Download the proper TWRP recovery and name it "recovery.img" and place it in this folder. Also In here hold shift and right click on a clear area, from the menu choose "open CMD here". Now turn off ur phone and after hold power+volm UP to boot into fastboot mode. Connect phone to PC and in CMD type "oem unlock" then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". This should flash the twrp recovery. Now turn off phone and hold volume DOWN +power to boot into twrp. U can flash w.e ROM u want in this recovery now.
