hi, i try to boot into recovery, but i get only green android with red triangle, i try via bootloader and via press VOL +/- and POWER button, but in either case I can not access.
I flashed all the latest factory image via fastboot [boot, system, recovery, cache, bootloader, userdata] but the problem persists; the phone works well, i can use it normaly but the recovery is the only part does not working.... some advice? thx
When you see the dead android screen, you're holding down the power button and pressing volume up button?
It looks like you are booting into a stock recovery. Which would happen just after flashing the latest factory image.
What are you trying to achieve?

so, i just want to flashed a new rom, then i reboot in recovery, then i restored my data. at some point i saw a text shows cache.img was not found. then i reboot the system, the phone just stuck on the boot animation. please help. urgent
Which ROM did you flash? Did you flash gapps?
What are you doing when you say get into recovery and restore data? Are you trying to restore last ROM's /data from recovery?
If yes, then that's the reason you are stuck at boot screen. Factory reset &flash the ROM again and let us know if you are able to boot.

Remove &replace battery. Press volume up button, then press power button along with the volume button. Keep holding till you get the fast not screen. Use volume to scroll and select recovery. Press power button to get into recovery.

thx! now it worked! but, i have another question, how do i restore my data from my previous rom to this rom?
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?
I have searched around but cannot find a solution. I can't seem to get a working recovery after flashing stock images with and without TWRP 2.8.7.1.
I followed these steps to upgrade to Android 6.0 after verifying the md5 checksum of my download:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead....img [it looks the same as before, but I did it anyway]
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead....img
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
....I have also tried with and without flashing cache
fastboot reboot
...then I go back into the bootloader and try to access recovery, but I only get the dead android with the red triangle.
Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a suggestion for a fix?
I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 7 (2013).
Hold down the Power button and press Volume Up.

When I see the dead android? When the phone is off? When the phone is booted into the system?
The dead Android means you have stock recovery installed. When you see the dead Android, hold down the power button and push the volume up then release and you will receive the stock recovery menu

Thanks for the description, but it didn't work. If I hold those buttons long enough, it just loops on the "Google" screen, and if I let go, it boots into the system.
After flashing other times, I have been able to either get the recovery menu or enter TWRP when I choose Recovery from the bootloader menu. Not this time though.
Well, I re-extracted the recovery.img file and flashed it - same problem. I decided to try flashing TWRP again. After flashing I rebooted the bootloader (probably not necessary), then chose Recovery and it booted TWRP like I normally expect.
Still not sure what is happening with the stock recovery. For now I don't have to worry - I'm getting my backup.
Sometimes it doesn't work right away, I keep switching between the volume buttons and it eventually pops up. Only need to tap the volume key, no need to hold it when at the dead Android.
Good luck

Getting into stock recovery from the dead android can be very tricky. As stated above, from the dead android screen, you want to hold the Power Button and press Volume Up quickly, then release. It sounds like you are holding the Power Button way too long which is causing it to do a reboot. I had the same issue the first few times.
Below is a video of someone doing it. On the video, he says to press volume up, volume down, and the power button at the same time until the recovery menu works. But, it is just the power button and volume up. The video will just show you how quickly to press the button combination.

I don't recall having any difficulty in the past, but I think I get it now. Thanks for the tips guys.
I unlocked the bootloader using the instructions from the Sony developer site. It worked, and then I flashed the recovery software using the flash tool, Emma, but when I press the buttons to boot in recovery mode, instead of this, my OS resets, like factory reset, or it doesn't boot, just vibrates. I don't know what to do. I want to try cyanogenmod and I want to flash it, but without recovery I can't, and it's possible to find on the Sony site the stock rom in case I want to come back to the stock OS? And something else. After the reset, the OS looks different. I have features that I didn't have before

You have to upgrade your bootloader via Emma and flash the recovery.img via fastboot.
Thank you. I flashed a TWRP recovery and it worked.

No notification led and illumination bar blinking after rebooting device. I tried combination of power button + volume up or power button + volume down. Used Titanium backup to reboot into recovery. Ran adb command to reboot into recovery all failed.

Hi
installed the multiple recovery for xperia m2 and it worked well. Illuminating blue light comes up during boot. Then i hold the volume up button and it turns green which allows me to boot into recovery
I've been playing with some Pie roms (with repartition) with my nexus 5. But since I needed to pass SecurityNet, I decided to go back to stock rom.
I tried to reflash the stock rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...om-android-m-preview-2-flashable-zip-t3157299 and the official method by google, but I ended on a bootloop.
I tried to flash twrp again (I can access to bootloader) and flash another pie rom (who previusly worked). But I'm getting bootloop again.
What can I do?
after you flash stock image just go to recovery mode and do factory reset

After flashing and entering in the recovery, a android logo with an exclamation mark is showed... I have to flash twrp too or something?
after you see that exclamation mark i think you should press vol up/down or maybe power button to enter recovery mode, i forgot that cuz never use stock recovery for a long time. i think you can try to flash twrp and then do wipe/factory reset

Thanks, after flashing image from google I get a strange error. Searching for it in the web ended with two commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot update image-*
That finished to flash the imagen and the phone boot well as usually. :good:
