I (for no reason whatsoever) prefer to get into recovery to perform factory data resets. Holdinf volume up and hitting power gets me into the proper menu but when I select recovery, I get the exclamation point inside the triangle. How then can I wipe via recovery?

Press vol up + power again when the "!" appears.

I should have mentioned that step doesn't work either. I'm pretty stumped.
hold power and slide from vol down to vol up on that screen will take you to the stock recovery.
Make sure you get the sequence right:
1) See the (!)
2) Hold POWER button
3) Press VOLUME UP button
4) See the UI. There will be options for "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition."

Thanks so much. Its all in the sequence. Finally got it.
i was having this issue and found the only way to fix this for me was to re load clockwork onto the phone
Finally I found there is a stock recovery in HTC One S.
I Followed this step:
1) Shotdown the phone.
2) Press power button and wolume down. I go in Hboot mode.
3) with vol key I select Recovery and press power button.
4) You’ll see the HTC logo, then the screen will go blank, followed by an image of a phone lying flat with an exclamation point and a triangle
5) Now, press and hold down volume up, and then while holding them, press and release the power button. Release the volume rocker. You should get a blue menu with a set of options – you are now in recovery mode.
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
volume button to select.
Reboot system now
apply from sd card
apply from phone storage
apply from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Now The question is: Can I root my stock phone (with bootloader locked and without modified recovery) with this (metohd 1):

Hi, first great thanks ton Tim for this rom,
when i reboot the rom, (power only) bootlop, rom start only with vol- & power (coldboot), vol- + power (10sec) and vol+ don't start TWRP
do i reinstall TWRP ?
i installed KK4.4.2#019 with succes (from 4.0. root stock), i made full wipe (SYSTEM, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE), installed roms & gapps, and wipe cahce & dalwik cache again.
Thanks for your advice
Lets answer a few questions to see where you are at:
1 - What happens when you just hold the POWER button for 10-12 seconds. Screen should go blank and reboot. When it reboots, does it get to the KatKiss animation, or boot to TWRP, or get stuck on the Eee Pad Logo?
2 - When holding VOL DOWN and POWER for 12-15 seconds and then you wait, do you see the 2 icons (Android and WIPE)? Do not select either, just let it boot to Android and see if it boots (this is a cold boot).
3 - When you press VOL DOWN and POWER for 12-15 seconds and then hit VOL UP when you see the small white text about RCK, does it boot to TWRP?
4 - What version of TWRP are you running?

The problems seems to be solved, after coldboot i let my pad for few hours on line and when i came back yesterday night to use it everythings work fine, no bootlop with power button and twrp 2.6.3.0 start.
i think i had reboot too early while gapps didn't have finished to be install.
Ps : A great thanks to you for "frederuco guide to root & flash", a clear guidance, consise and very precise.
Okay so I have just updated my phone yesterday as I got a notification saying there was an update to 4.4.4 so I downloaded it and installed it and now the phone is stuck in a boot loop, is there any possible way that you can make simple for me as I am new to rooting and flashing phones, this was my first ever time.
Thanks for any help or advice in advance.

Okay so after doing a couple days research and listening to you guys, I found out when I rooted I didn't flash a recovery... So yeah I installed CWM recovery and then wiped cashe partision and it worked. When I wiped it, it came up saying to "fix root" as I may have lost in then I clicked yes then booted straight away. That's it fixed now.
Thank you for your help everyone!

When the phone is rebooting, press and hold power down, you'll then get into Fastboot. From there, go to Recovery using the volume down key and when selected, press the volume up to select. If it tries to install the update again, don't let it reboot into the ROM - when the recovery restarts itself, make sure you hold volume down again.

It doesn't work it just keeps rebooting and coming up with the "bootloader unlocked" screen after itself
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .
2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
5. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key, then tap and release the VOL UP key.
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 5, try a force reboot by pressing the power Key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.
6. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
7. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to wipe cache partition and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.
8. The device will then perform the partition wipe
9. Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT
11. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .

Still none the wiser how to update to 4.4.4 though! I mean surely with a rooted phone there is an app to do it these days???
u can try this
if you have unlock bootloader and can go to fastboot mode,.try to flash your moto g using your 4.4.2 stock rom by manually (you can search how to do it),.flash partition gpt and motoboot (ignore the error),reboot bootloader and finished the rest command..flash phil touch recovery and reboot ro recovery,go to install zip,choose install zip from sideload then send your phone update using sideload command.
that"s solved my problems when i'm getting stuck on blank screen after unlock bootloader warning or only booting to recovery,i'm on 4.4.2 when get that error.
but now in my case,i should go to fastboot mode and choose normal powerup to make my phone booting normally,.because if i'm power on using power button,moto g booting to recovery,not a big deal for me as long as my phone back to the track hehehe
my moto g is o2 germany,but i'm flashing with 4.4.2 germany retail and 4.4.4 update for germany retail.

If you have recovery you can try press the button combination below, one of them should work, note I use the it for my G-Pro F350L:
The phone need to be off:
- Power + Vol down, when see LG logo release both button 1-2 seconds and press it again
- Power + Vol down, when see LG logo release both button 1-2 seconds and press Vol down + Volume Up
- If you can enter it will show as Factory reset use Vol up/down to move it and select yes with Power button two times.
If all good you should enter recovery to restore your TWRP system back up or do all wipe except Internal storage to flash other custom rom.
