It's been two days since i have been trying and now it's driving me crazy. I am on stock marshmallow with unlocked bootloader and root. I was trying something (irrelevant here) , and now the phone won't boot into recovery.
No green light when the phone turns on to press the volume buttons to boot into recovery.
Tried adb commands but they just reboot the device. Tried flashing ftf files but still the recovery won't come up.
Tried each and every recovery image out there but still no luck.
The recovery flashes with success but adb returns error "no devices/emulators found"
Btw I'm installing twrp recovery. If anyone knows a solution to this problem, please help

How did you manage to "successfully" flash a recovery if adb doesn't even find the device. Usually when I flashed a TWRP I just booted into fastboot and did a quick fastboot flash. Never had any issues with that whatsoever. Maybe try that.
Here's the full story. I first unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp, rooted and everything went fine. After a couple of months i decided to install lineage os , so i booted into recovery and wiped data, system etc. But i forgot to copy the lineage os zip , so i switched off the device(despite the error message "no os installed"), removed memory card and put files on it and inserted the card back. After this procedure, the phone stopped booting into recovery. Ever since then i am able to flash stock ftf files and everything but the device won't enter recovery so I'm unable to root it again. I hope this will help you understand the situation
Somebody please help

Try an alternative route.
Fully flash a stock ftf .291. Everything will be up to date then and you'll have the latest bootloader.
Then try two things.
First try fastboot flashing the latest TWRP from Nailyk.
Then boot to recovery holding power and volume keys as you boot and it will boot directly to recovery.
You could also try fully flashing an ftf.
Then use adb to fastboot flash a custom stock based kernel like advanced kernel which includes TWRP 3.0.2.
Use that to boot to recovery the old way and voila you have recovery.

Are you talking about the .291 ftf obtained from xperifirm ? Does that include the bootloader ?
I'll try the second solution(advanced kernel), thanks.

Yeah that's the one. At the least it will set your phone back to factory settings and you can just start all he root tutorials from the beginning.
Option 2 should work for you.
You should definitely make sure your adb on your PC is working and make sure fastvoot is as well. Just to be sure its not the PC side of things.
I realize this is a bit of a necro-post but I thought it might help someone.
At some point TWRP on the Z3 Compact switched from Volume Up+Power to enter recovery to Volume Down+Recovery.
I spent about an hour trying to get into TWRP because every bit of documentation I read said you have to "power on and then press volume up several times" to get into recovery.
However that is NOT the case.
To get into TWRP after it's been flashed you have to hold Volume Down and Power at the same time, then release Power once the screen lights up.

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.
http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/
Use the recovery files found here.
Edit: on the site I posted, browse to the msm8690 folder. There you will find the recovery files.

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.

I rebooted my OnePlus One yesterday and found myself in a weird situation. The phone would go to the initial OnePlus logo then after, a smal android logo with a red warning sign appears for a split second, and I boot into the CM stock recovery. I can't turn it on or enter fastboot, nor can I turn on ADB Debugging on my phone and would really appreciate help as I do not want this phone to be gone. Pretty scared guys, help would be much appreciated!
I've never seen this problem before.
I supose you are bootloader unlocked, rooted and have costum recovery, right?
For fastboot, if it does not work normally, try: up button + power with the phone connected to the PC; if it does not work, try the same button combo + plug the phone to the pc while you are holding down the buttons.

Thanks for the prompt response. I think you should also know that I attempted to put a custom recovery on my OPO, but after saying that it worked, I only loaded into the CM Stock Recovery. I do not, have my phone with me at the moment as I did not think it would be necessary to bring to school with me, but I will attempt everything you have said. Thanks for the help so far!

I believe you messed it up for good, since you: can't get into fastboot; have no recovery; have no backups... If you could get fastboot to go you would only need to flash twrp and then sideload a rom =/
Does the stock recovery let you sideload?

Yes. It does.
Download the stock image. I'm sure it will be there somewhere in the forums.
Then go to recovery and do the following:
Select 'apply update'. Then you either have the option to apply update from Internal Storage or from adb.
Select adb and enter: adb sideload update_filename.zip

assuming it's the stock android recovery, i'm pretty sure it allows for sideloading.

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?
So I received my Yuphoria about a week ago. Decided to attempt rooting, unlocked the bootloader but I cannot seem to get a custom recovery to run on it, be it CWM or TWRP.
When I try to hotboot the image in fastboot mode, as soon as I enter the fastboot boot recovery command, my PC loses connection to the phone and a message pops up saying "USB device not recognised".
When I try to flash the recovery images, it is always successful. However, when I boot into the recovery, it always loads up the stock recovery, which is strange since the flash was successful.
Any solutions to this problem?
EDIT 1: Tried it with multiple PCs. Same problem for each one.

its not strange. its the way it works. after flashing custom recovery DO NOT REBOOT THROUGH FASTBOOT. just pull out the usb cord. remove and reinsert the battery and then press the volume down and power button together. You will boot into recovery. I will recommend twrp.

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?
