[Q] I can't reboot onto recovery - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! I'm trying to install a cm rom in my xt926, I have the bootloader and, aparently, I can flash properly the custom recovery, but when I try to reboot onto recovery it doesn't work, shows the motorola logo and, after 1 or 2 minutes, reboot normally, and I canĀ“t enter the recovery to flash the cm rom... Anyone can help me? I don't know what else to do... A lot of thanks.
Sorry for my bad english

I have this Problem as well! Stock KK on XT926 build 183.46.10.XT926.Verizon.en.US. I've tried all the methods I could find.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is and you can really flash recovery while in fastboot mode - what do you do after that? Reboot the phone into Android and then try to reboot into recovery? If you're doing that, then that's the problem.
You need to reboot to recovery straight from fastboot, otherwise the stock system deletes the custom recovery. When you flash the recovery - unplug the cable and just press the power button once and the phone will turn off. Then hold Volume UP + Power and the boot menu will show up and then you select recovery and you should be good to go

Solved!
I've found the solution! I've flashed the wrong recovery. My stock rom is kit kat 4.4.2, this recovery works very fine

[Q] Cant flash clockwork recovery through Rom Manager

Have been trying to flash clockwork recovery through rom manager for a couple of days. It always says Flashed succesfully but when I try to go to recovery it takes me to the bootloader. it happened after i updated to the newest version. anyone else have this issue or is there any other way without using ADB? Im not good at that.
do you mean when you go into the bootloader (vol up + power) it doesnt automatically bring you to recovery? (this is not supposed to happen) or when you select the recovery menu from the bootloader it just reboots the bootloader again
it just reboots the bootloader
This may be of help to you.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery

Trying to install CyanogenMod for my razr maxx HD. Recently used RSDlite to install 183.46.10 after OTA KK update kept failing. Then used towelroot to root and motopocalype to unlock bootloader. Fastboot screen shows bootloader is unlocked with status code: 3.
I then followed the instructions on the CyanogenMod site to flash CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery using fastboot, and all appeared to work fine.
However, when I try to reboot into recovery, nothing happens. I get hung up on the motorola dual core flashscreen for about a minute or two, then the screen goes black, then the phone reboots normally.
I tried flashing a different copy of CWM, tried TRWP, and tried several third party apps from Google Play store to boot directly into recovery using software reboot instead of hardware keys - all with the same results. I even tried flashing custom CWM recovery using ROM Manager and Rashr, same result.
Do I have a corrupt recovery partition? Any suggestions for how to fix?
You need to install a recovery for that phone specifically.

Use the recovery files found here.
Edit: on the site I posted, browse to the msm8690 folder. There you will find the recovery files.

Thanks, guys, total noob mistake. I knew the recovery needed to be specific for the phone, but didn't realize it varied depending on the bootloader. Will try again with the right recovery!

Those recovery aren't sticking for me. Does anyone have a suggestion to fix that issue.
Pushing the buttons doesn't work.
The only thing that is working is place the phone in fastboot mode and flash the recovery to my device three time and then I will go straight in recovery and there it is.

Your phone has been upgraded to Kit Kat and the bootloader unlocked, correct? The two recoveries linked to are for phones that already have already been upgraded to KK.
If so, power off your phone.
Then, hold down volume up and then press and hold power. After a few seconds, let go and the boot menu should come up.
Use Volume down to select "Recovery" and then hit "Volume Up". That should boot you into the custom recovery, depending on which one you flashed.
I prefer TWRP. CWM seemed buggy and it wouldn't always boot into it. A lot of times, I'd get a blank screen and would have to reflash it.
Another option is, when it's booted up, hooked up your phone to your pc and use adb to reboot it into recovery using "adb reboot recovery".

Yep.. I had some issue with my devices. I tried the update well root and the devices didn't want to boot up anymore. So I had to RSD lite the devices back to health. So I do have the latest software for the devices. I guess. I am going to use Twrp since you say it boots fine from the boot menu.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, that is your problem. You need to root, and then unlock the bootloader before you can flash TWRP and use CM.

[Q] Can't get to recovery after (successful) upgrade to KK.

Hi,
just got time to update my 2nd XT925 to KK (RSD'd back from CM11 JBBL to stock SFR rom, let the phone find its update and apply it, everything went fine).
But whatever KK recovery I try to flash, it gives me an exclamation mark and nothing else (I'm unlocked, yes).
Don't know what's happening here. Can someone helps please ?

Are you saying you are trying to flash a recovery or are you trying to GET to the stock recovery? If you are trying to get to the stock recovery, the key presses to get to it have changed.
Your best bet is to power off your phone. Then, press and hold power+vol up for a few seconds until you see the menu come up. Then, press vol down to highlight Recovery and then press the vol up button.
Eventually, you'll see the "Dead Andy". From there, press and hold vol down+vol up+power. You might have to do it a couple of times. Eventually, you'll be in the recovery but for the XT926, it's kind of hard to read because for some reason, they decided to make it dim.
No (but thanks anyway). What I tried to was only to install a KK recovery for CM11.
I successed but I had 2 problems mixed: the 1st one was that the Linux version of fastboot (or mfastboot) did'nt work with the new bootloader. Both were complaining about "(bootloader) Variable not supported! ". Had to find some old laptop with Windows installed to use it to flash the recovery without error.
But even then if I just let the phone reboot, I would'nt get the new recovery (just the stock one after the keypress you speak about). I had to go straight from bootloader screen to the recovery (by manually rebooting) to get it work. Looks like the standard boot just restored the stock recovery each time I tried.
Thanks anyway, it's working now.

Variable not supported comes up under some Windows, but it usually still works.
You never go straight to the bootloader when you reboot. You have to reboot the phone (or turn it off first) and then press and hold vol up+power. Then, from there, you use vol down to select recovery and then press vol up.
It never boots directly into the recovery unless you tell it to via an ADB command or from within a custom ROM that allows it.
Keep in mind, the stock recovery will override the custom recovery if you don't immediately boot back into recovery. Flash recovery, when that's done, press power to shutdown, and use the method Bolski described to boot into recovery.

Let me see if i undestood.
You say that if you don't boot right into recovery, the stock one will overwrite CWM/TWRP. So i understand that, after very reboot you must reflash recovery if you want to use it again.
Or am I missing something?

It won't reflash every time. You only need to boot straight into recovery the first time, so that the update binary completes. After the first time, you'll be good.

I think this may be the problem I am having. I cant get my 926 to boot to recovery from fastboot after I load CWM recovery. Is there some trick?

Recovery Flash not working

Hello, I bought a OnePlus one (came with CM11 - 4.4.4) and followed the standard steps to root it
1) unlock bootloader - successful, phone got factory reset, checked the status using fastboot
2) Flash custom recovery (TWRP) using fastboot - always "okay" message
3) The phone DOES NOT boot to recovery after this - it gets stuck at the 1+ logo, or remains stuck for a few seconds and goes to normal reboot. -I've tried using fastboot to reboot phone while holding down volume button
Please help! i've look this problem up and haven't found a solution.
I tried 2.7.0.0, and the latest 2.8.5.1, along with 2.8.6.0, along with trying to use the one plus tool kit. Using the toolkit, even flashing the stock recovery, then booting it didn't work.
after you flash recovery in fastboot, do not issue the fastboot reboot command. you need to manually power off the phone by keeping the power button pressed till it powers off

As the other posted mentioned you have to fastboot flash twrp (2.8.6.0) then power off phone and use volume down + power button combo to get to recovery. Its flashing but if you boot to OS it will be overwritten by CM recovery hence booting directly will alleviate that
Boot into os, enable dev options by tapping the build number a bunch of times in settings-about phone section, go back and go into settings-developer options, make sure "update cyanogen recovery" is unchecked. Flash recovery again, and like people have said, power off the phone and use volume down and power buttons together to boot into recovery.
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried all the above s and none of them have worked
Should I try unlocking the bootloader again?
I recommend going to this guide and following it closely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
As for which version of TWRP to use, I recommend this version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059048

I almost bricked my phone because of that stupid userdata.img inside the Twrp recovery
For 2 days I've been trying to install a rom with the twrp recovery, which always worked nice although a bit slow, but since the installed rom always had issues, this time I put not only the twrp recovery in flashboot, but also the userdata.img, which by the way there's no reference about it in any doc of the zip
As a result my phone didn't pass forward the coloured Leeco splash screen in chinese, (the one that cames before the twrp spashscreen).
I shut it down and put it on charge, but it didn't even seem to be charging! the red led was always on and the battery had no progress bar, just a 'sparkle' symbol. If that thing isn't even charging, how the hell would I enter fastboot?
Thankfully I got back the normal recovery and bootloader.
So, anyone reading, DO NOT flash userdata.img in fastboot!
