Recovery issues

When I load the bootloader with power and volume up and select recover it gives me the triangle picture with an exclamation mark in the middle. I am unlocked and rooted. I installed clockwork and can get to it from rom manager but not through recovery option. Help please!

i think this is covered in the FAQ, and it's definitely discussed in several threads already.
The triangle is the stock recovery. If you've updated to 2.3.1, the stock recovery is restored by a startup script every time you boot the phone. You can disable this by renaming the file /etc/install-recovery.sh. Then install clockwork again.
If you want to stay on stock recovery, to get into recovery, you do the vol up and power button, then from fastboot select recovery. Watch the screen closely when the phone reboots...for a second or two you'll see a box pouring an arrow onto an android. During that screen push power first (hold it) then push volume up. Timing is important.

[Q] Can't get into recovery mode

I successfully rooted my 3G XOOM today, installed ClockworkMod Recovery, but can't get into recovery mode! No matter what I do, I get stuck at a screen showing "Entering Android Recovery Mode Reading ODM fuse:1".
I waited for several minutes, and nothing happened. I tried to format th SD card, but didn't work too.
If I manually reset the Xoom, it stars normally and everything works fine.

Did you wait 3 seconds at the Motorola screen and hit volume down and then volume up? Were you able to get in it before?

Yes, i did that, but it gets stuck at that same point. And no, I never tried to enter recovery mode before.

How did you flash recovery the first time. Did you flash or push? Have you tried to push the recovery?

The first time I flashed recovery using the button inside ClockworkMod, and CWM said it went fine.
How can i push recovery? Using adb?

Got it! I don't know what caused the problem, but flashing the newest version of CWM recovery using this guide solved it!
Now I can proceed updating my Xoom to HC 3.1.

what worked for me was volume-down volume-up while holding down the power buttom ( like a shift key )

Boot Loop after attempted downgrade to HC

For the second time, I was attempting to downgrade from ICS to HC last night and ran into a bit of a problem. Here's what I have and did:
TF101 with 9.2.1.24 US 20120503
I rooted with PERI-0.4 (found here) and that worked fine. I then installed Super User and Recovery Installer. Started Super User, closed, then started Recovery Installer and clicked the button. It did its thing and rebooted. I had the zip of the latest released HC built on my microSD card and booted into the recovery console (Power + Volume Down). From there I wiped the cache and installed from the zip file. It did its thing for several minutes before saying done.
I then clicked reboot and instead of getting to the android guy with the green progress bar (like it did last time), I get to the revolver screen where it stays there for a few minutes and reboots..and repeats. I left it overnight and still doing it. I tried getting to the recovery console again to try and reinstall, but when I do that (power + volume down), The android logo comes up with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in him. It might also be worth it to add that I can't turn it off unless I hold the Power + Volume Up buttons. Holding the Power or the Power + Volume Down do not turn it off, it just reboots.
PLEASE does anyone know what I might be able to try?

can u cold boot from linux?

Thank to the wonderful people over at AndroidRoot.mobi and their custom NVFlash tool, along with using the latest stock ROMs, I was able to flash the stock rom and now have a full functional tablet again, AND as a double plus? Its at HC

Why did you use Recovery Installer after PERI though? What PERI does is install custom recovery xD

I did because when I tried to install the HC zip file in the recovery manager, It said it was unable to do so (something like directory doesnt exist IIRC) so ran Recovery Installer and then it was able to recover from the HC zip file....before crapping out on me.

[Q] Red Triangle on Android Man

I have a Xoom WiFi on Android 4.1.2
I was trying to Unlock, Flash Recovery, Root and then Flash a Rom. I have Flashed on my phone a couple of times so I am a little familiar with the process.
I did the following:
1.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
2.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "name of file".img. (the file i used was "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-wingray.img").
3.
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
This is where things go wrong.
Upon reboot,
I press down volume upon seeing the logo.
It then says Android Recovery.
I then press up volume.
then it says entering Android Recovery Mode
reading ODM Fuse:1
Then the Green Android man shows up with the red triangle.
It sits there for a while then boots into Android normally.
I have been searching for a solution since this morning. Everything I found about this has not helped.
Earlier in the day I did Flash a different Recovery so I think I have two. I installed the ROM manger app. It shows two installed.
ClockworkMod Recovery
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP)
I am stuck as to what to do... Please help.
Thanks
Jim

One of the files link is broken.
The requested URL /atftas/OEM/Motorola/XOOM/Xoom-Universal-Root.zip2 was not found on this server.

I have another problem.
Now I have two devices. If I unplug the Xoom it still finds emulator 5554. What is emulator 5554?
Thanks
Jim

I got around the emulator 5554 problem by using the -d option. I followed everything and all went fine. I installed the app Root Checker Basic but it says Sorry! this device does not have proper root access.
All steps completed with no errors.
I guess I'm stuck again.
Jim

I flashed back to stock. Did all the steps again and the same thing.

I tried several more times and it still would not work.
I went to another site and downloaded the root.zip and it worked this time. The root file on this site would not work for for some reason.
The Android man with the red triangle problem is also gone. Not sure what fixed it. I assume that it was because I flashed back to stock and used a different root.zip file.
Thanks for all the help
Jim

[Q] Can't boot into recovery?

So, I got my new OnePlus One today and I tried to get CM12 onto it. I was following the [GUIDE] How to Install CM12 on the OnePlus One- Android Lollipop/5.0 on the OPO forums, and everything went well until I tried to get the TWRP on there. I flashed the recovery and rebooted the phone. I turned it off and then tried to boot it into recovery but it doesn't, it just hangs at the OPO logo until I hard-restart it.
I've tried factory resetting it and doing
fastboot oem unlock
but nothing happened. The factory reset pretty much just reset the phone. I think I might've messed up the kernel. How do I fix it?
EDIT 1: I've tried reflashing twrp recoveries and nothing. When I hold power+volume down, it powers on, shows the one plus logo, then reboots and just goes to the lockscreen.
UPDATE 1: I managed to manually flash all the CM12 files and use lollipop. I haven't tried the recovery yet but I'll keep you guys updated (if any of you even care).
UPDATE 2: Apparently flashing CM12 made the recovery work. Everything works as it should and the OTA to the most recent CM12 worked perfectly.

You're probably doing the button combo wrong. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

I was curios and enabled advanced reboot to try and boot into recovery and it worked (after I had flashed CM12). Everything's working now.

How did you manually flash CM12? I think I'm having the same trouble you were having. I used the oneplus toolbox from the forum to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP, but no luck in getting into recovery mode. It just boot loops with the oneplus logo until I release the volume down button at which point it then boots to the lock screen.

@Heisenberg I'm also having trouble getting into recovery. I've tried the different button combos (power + vol down; power + vol down and release power) as well as the advance reboot options to get into recovery, but they all fail. I get the 1+ logo and after I let go of the volume down button the screen goes black and boots again to the 1+ screen and then to the lockscreen. It's almost like it doesn't recognize the recovery. I tried putting the stock recovery back on using the image in the OnePlus One toolkit folder, but that one doesn't work either. In addition to unchecking the "CM Recovery Update", are there any other settings that could be causing problems?
For background info, I initially used the toolkit interface to unlock the bootloader and then flash the recovery. The bootloader unlocked with no issue...it wiped my device and I was in sync with the "How to root" video posted by alex.inthi. I got sidetracked after the (seemingly) successful flash of TWRP onto the phone I kept getting booted into the Cyanogen recovery. I realized out that I needed to uncheck the setting to keep it from overwriting TWRP and after that was not able to boot into recovery. After finding your beginners guide (thanks, by the way, very well written) I tried using fastboot from the command line as you show, but still no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Okay, I must have been having a special kind of moment - I've got TWRP 2.8.7.0 running on my handset now. I may have been holding the volume down button too long, or it may be that I was using an older version of TWRP, but I'm going to go with the former. I've also been able to successfully flash and boot into Philz 6.59.2

Having the same problem
I am having the exact same problem and cannot seem to find a solution. Recovery screen just doesn't appear, but goes to lockscreen.
Tried erasing, flashing both twrp, philz etc., but nothing works. The phone doesn't recognize the recovery status. Advanced booting does the same.
Update CM-recovery is checked off, phone is unlocked. I've followed every step of the big guide down to every detail.
Is manually flashing the 12.1 ROM the only way and in that case: is it hard for a relative newcomer?
