help! stock moto g won't boot into recovery

Hi, I'm hoping i'm just being stupid but i can't get my moto go to boot into recovery.
i powered it off, changed sim cards and now it boot loops.
so boot into fastboot menu and choose any option(except barcode and the one that changes codepages or whatever) and it just goes back into boot loop. any bright ideas anyone? not been a good day so far today, my number just got ported over to OVIVO today. but they stopped operating yesterday - the joys... :crying:
cheers!

What did you else do with your phone? Is it stock? Or did you flash anything? Are you pressing volume up to select option? Did you try a factory reset?

nothing!
it's completely stock. i think i installed 1 app (philips hue). was working fine. powered off normally, took the sim out, put new one in - boot loops!
i can't do a factory reset as it when you choose anything out of the fastboot it reboots. and that's using the volume up to select options.
i think i'll just take it back to the shop. but it's a pain in the neck

Yeah 2 options fiddling around yourself or going to the shop.
I would go back to the shop and ask there as it is untouched.
Maybe it has seriously some problems.
If you want to try it yourself i would reccomend you to reflash.

Are you sure you are pressing volume up?
Last days somebody had security case for the phone.
When he pressed the gum layerd buttons he accidently pressd the power button.
Once he took off the case it worked for him.

Maybe restore firmware

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646415
hopefully this helps restoring your phone back to factory settings

I think this will help
1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL DOWN KEY for 2-3 seconds then POWER key then release.
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 UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key
Tip: You can try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, try a force reboot by pressing the Power key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.

Try to perform a wipe data. In my case it works.

how to make hard reset

how to make hard reset on lg g pro 2?

Turn off your phone; if you can’t do it as usual, then press power button for about 15 seconds.
After shutting down your device, press volume down button and power button together and at the same time until the LG logo appears on the screen.
When the LG logo is displayed, let go of the power button, but keep pressing the volume down key.
Now press once more power button.
Once you do that, on your LG G Pro 2 the factory reset menu will be displayed.
Press power button in order to agree and wait while the hard reset is being completed.
Then, if you want you can enter recovery mode for clearing cache and for performing other operations.
Go back to Android OS by selecting „reboot system now”.

I've tried this myself too, but it booted the phone in Safe Mode and after that won't turn on.
The phone is on stock rom and is the D83810f 16 GB version. After I took out and reinserted the battery again, the phone started normaly.

actually, this worked for me...
Turn off the LG G PRO 2 (F350 / D837 / D838)
Make sure the battery LG G PRO 2 (F350 / D837 / D838) already full or more than 50%
Press together and hold the Power Button + Volume Down Button
If the Logo appear, then release all button, after that continue with press again Volume Up Button + Volume Down Button together then we are already at Recovery mode
Choose wipe data/factory reset using Volume Button, and press Power Button to Enter or OK
The LG G PRO 2 (F350 / D837 / D838) will continue master reset, wait for several minutes until the the phone start like new again.

BUT, instead of restarting, it takes me to philz touch recovery that I had installed after rooting. THen when I restart from there, it goes into the LG splansh screen and stays there forever. Can anyone help me with this?
Also, Philz touch recovey asks me to fix root before restarting. Is is necessary? I think selecting that option is causing the soft-brick.
Anybody have a clue?

You better keep a copy of workable ROM in your root directory, so that you can flash anytime to rescue your phone.

xenius9[/MENTION] - Thank you again for the update. However, for some reason, this new A-Gapps cannot install the Google+ app. It says Device is incompatible. It may not be important to others but i kinda use that app all the time so just wanted to let you know.

Isuues entering recovery

Hi,
When i press vol down + power button, the oneplus logo appers and then the phone goes off instead of recovery.
I'm using TWRP, Unlocked bootloader, latest CM11S with update cm recovery disabled.
From the power menu i can access the recovery with no issues.
Fastboot combination (vol up + pwr) works fine.
Any ways to resolve this issue? Someone else had this issue maybe?

It's all about timing, once you see the OnePlus logo, let go of the power button.

Thank you for fast replay and support, pressed the thanks button as usual

Yeah if you keep holding the power button it'll force a hard power off I did the same thing when I first started as I kept reading "hold volume down + power button" it didn't say let go of power button lol.

[Q] How to boot in recovery console on Lenovo A5000

Hi guys,
title speaks for itself
I have tried every single method that came up from google:
Recovery Mode Lenovo A5000
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Power Key for a few seconds
Release all key when Android Recovery Mode appears
Use Volume keys to select
Use Power key to confirm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The combination should be-->
-->Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- (Yes,both volume buttons).
If by using this combination the phone just shutdowns or restarts.....Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- >Release all buttons when the Lenovo logo (the first static logo) disappears.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...or use a sequence--> Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- -->Release only the Power button when the Lenovo logo appears-->Keep on pressing both Volume(+&-) buttons until you enter the recovery mode.

don't remove your fingers until it boots up.. much better if you press first the volume keys before you power on.. keep pressing all together until it opens. or you might end up booting the chinese recovery.

With Vol Up+Power button managed to get this:
Select boot mode:
[VOLUME_UP to select. VOLUME_DOWN is OK>]
[Recovery Mode] <<==
[Fastboot Mode]
[Normal boot]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can change selection with Vol Up (move arrow), but neither Vol Down or Power button acts like OK button

Tried to reboot to recovery from app it returns "no command" error.
After that i found what is key combination (i think) hold down volume up and down and power button. after 5+ seconds release power button, but keep pressing volume buttons. But no command error again.
I really need recovery console, cuz i want to install xposed but if i get stuck in bootloop will...well, will get stuck

Well, also tried to plug-in USB cable while holding Volume UP ad Volume DOWN buttons, to see will it shows in adb. Result is "no command" again. But i can see device attached when using build-in cd-rom + usb debug enabled

For me , Button Combination never Works Exactly , but when i Reboot into Recovery (using Rashr app etc) , then same No Command Window Appears and then i Press Power Button Again and Recovery Window Appears... No Command Error Shows , Simply Press Power Button again Like for 0.5 Seconds , Recovery Screen Shows Up, Works for me.. ...
And also me Using Same 4.4.2 , i installed Xposed (Not From Recovery) and Never Got a Bootloop...
For Now i am using TWRP , Working Well , But Still Button Combination is Really Annoying For me...

Yeah I have very large fingers and those damn buttons are very small lol so its aggravating, but a real life saver when everything is frozen rock solid ..try that button combo on an LG g4 , its taken me an hour of reboots to finally get to recovery, why put such tiny hardware buttons on the back of the phone ffs
Through my ancient eyes comes the certainty of decay... LG G4 & L 70

Thanks guys, but i've managed to flash TWRP recovery and don't have No command error, anymore

Need help

Power Off Your Mobile , Now Press Vol+ , Vol- and Power Button all At the Same Time Until your Phone starts again and you See Lenovo Logo (Below Written Powered By Android) , then after 5 Seconds Release All .... Now wait , and you'r in Recovery Now .... Works For me...
Or you can Try "adb reboot recovery" , this one works for me too...
If None of these Working , then Re-flash Recovery and Check again (Try flashing Recovery Using different Method Like using Rashr App)...

Hey guys do you hapen to have a solution to my problem:
My A5000 won't shut down properly, it doesn't vibrate at the end of power off process and from that moment on it gives no any further life signs... I somehow managed to turn it back on but it totally drained my battery over night... (btw i turned it back on by simply holding power button for approx. 20 seconds)

hi
why i cant prese the volume key when in choose recovery mode?

Well, Stock Recovery never opened until I flashed a custom recovery (TWRP). ?
Thanks

button combo for stock recovery

Does anyone know the button combo in the stock recovery to get from the android on back to the menu?

Turn off the phone.
Push volume down and power button.
When logo apears release power button only and press it again. Than keep it pressed.
You should see the factory reset option.
If not - try again.

Thank you for the reply but I wasn't trying to factory reset. I wanted to get to the recovery menu. Usually when you get to the point where there's the green android guy on his back you can hold power down and tap volume up the menu will pop up. It's not working for this phone. Is it different on this phone because of the assistant button?
