I currently pull the battery, then turn on volume down and power to go to bootloader and then enter into the recovery. I would like to know if this is the correct way, or if there is another method to enter the recovery. Thanks

Other than flashing a ROM with an extended menu ( instead of power off and reboot only reboot has several options reboot, hot reboot, reboot into bootloader and, reboot into recovery) the other option would be to download ROM MANAGER but that would only work if you are using CWM and have flashed it via Rom Manager.... otherwise the way you are doing it is fine
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
adb reboot recovery from command or terminal assuming you have the adb.exe in your system32 directory.

Should not have to pull the battery - just turn it off.
If you want it easier (not connected to computer, etc.), you can install ROM Manager, flash recovery their with it, and then I recommend reflashing xBoarders 5.0.2.0 again.
ROM Manager should still work (mine does), but when you enter Recovery from there, you have the other 5.0.2.0 Recovery (RM 5.0.2.6 will not charge when off).
On a related note--do we need to keep fastboot enabled?
Or use quick boot

I have the Evo 3d cdma with hboot 1.50. Installed the TWRP recovery. Flashed Craynogen ROM. I have PRL 21081 and am stuck on 1x. Also when i try to use the wifi it says error. I did the logcat thing and when I try to turn on the wifi it says failed to load wifi driver. Love this rom but have no data. I cant post in the development thread cuz I dont have enough posts. Thanks!
I also can not flash any other rom. They just freeze in boot up. My phones a mess dunno what to do next plz help!?
You need to use fastboot to boot recovery nothing else will work on the 1.50 hboot. Pull battery and hold volume down to get to bootloader. Open computer and navigate to sdk folders where u have fastboot.exe and open a cmd window in that folder (shift+right click and open cmd window here) connect your phone and type *fastboot reboot recovery* not the * part just the cmd then hit enter. Phone should boot to recovery. Now just reflash cyanogen mod and gapps and reboot. Should be all good then. Remember to wipe data cache and dalvik cache and optionally battery stats.

My ADB is in the platform-tools folder instead of tools so I had to move some files around. But its working now thanks
U can only bypass your s-on by booting recovery with fastboot other wise you can't flash the kernels and ramdisk so essentially your errors were from running a 2.3.5 aosp rom on a 2.3.4 stock sense kernel. I'm surprised it even booted. Just rember to boot recovery with fastboot and you'll be good from here on out.

I posted this over in Q&A last night but that form seems to have lower traffic.
Basically I followed Marzs Root-Unlock-Relock guide using the included tools, in this order
AIO Root - good
Unlock bootloader w/ Pudding using derpunlock.sbf then fastboot oem unlock. - good(or so it seems)
FlashCWM - Appears fine... but it's not.
However when I boot into clockworkmod it takes me to normal recovery (Triangle, Exclamation mark).
I've done some fiddling around with it and I'm able to get to Clockworkmod recovery if after I fastboot flash it I pull the battery and boot into recovery. I can boot into recovery so long as I don't reboot the phone fully.
Sorry about the duplicate post again, I just would really like to get this resolved, and it seems some other people are having the same or similar problem.
When booting the phone it say's UNLOCKED in the top left corner, and I've gone in with fastboot and tried re-unlocking it to which it says that the boot loader is already unlocked.
the phone is running Android 2.3.4 Build 198_6
I've also tried flashing TWRP recovery and it's the same thing.
Did you erase recovery first I know you said you followed it just asking cause thats what it sounds like to me go back into motofastboot erase recovery then flash recovery then while in fastboot reboot recovery
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Yep, I used the moto-fastboot erase recovery specified in the instructions, and it said that was Okay as well.
I had the same problem when I first got my Moto Photon 4g. Here is the fix right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271428

I did this using root explore and it seems to work. Maybe one of the mods could sticky this or add it to the compendium.
What I did just incase anybody else needs help is:
open root explorer
navigate to system/etc
mount R/W
Renames install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
mount R/O
Then I shut down the phone.
booted into fastboot mode
followed the direction to flash CWM as my recovery,
BUT at the end of recovery I instead of moto-fastboot reboot I used moto-fastboot reboot-booloader. I let reboot and then I pulled the battery.
then I booted up into recovery (power +volume down until you see fastboot, then hit volume down till you see Android Recovery. hit volume up to select) and I cleared my cache and my dalvik cache.
rebooted my phone, then shut it down. and I was able to finally get back to recovery.
Thanks a ton this was very perplexing

Here's a simpler method that worked on my Xoom.
unlock
flash recovery
boot into recovery
root
then while still in CWM, no reboot, but instead:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
reboot with CWM
Only had to flash CWM once.
I've been working on this for 2 days now and I can't seem to find an answer. I'll pay $20 to the dude who finds the resolution.
So, I just got a new Amaze, fresh out of the package. I was able to unlock the bootloader with no problems. However, when I run the flash.bat file the phone reboots into the boot loader, but nothing happens, the MS DOS prompt simply says "sending 'recovery' <4634 KB>". I've tried to use Hasoon's all-in-one-kit, but it is not able to install any recovery either. I'm not a noob, so don't insult my intelligence with stuff like "were you in USB debugging mode"? YES, I've read all the directions, and searched all over.
Things I've tried:
2 diff computers
2 diff USB cables
reinstalled HTC drivers
relocked the and unlocked the bootloader
Tried diff recoveries - CWM 5.0.02.5 and TWRP 2.0.0
Running HTC Amaze
Anyone?
Try this...
Put the recovery.img in your android/tools folder (be sure there are no other recovery.imgs in there)
Run cmd
Type the following...
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" be sure that the name of the .img matches the command where it reads recovery.img.
Do it the easy way

1. Download file to your computer
2. make sure its named PH85IMG.zip
3. Copy to sdcard (externel one)
4. Pull battery and replace
5. Hold volume down and then hit power
6. Wait for it to say do you want toupdate (press volume up)
7. Press power button to reboot
8. Reboot Phone into recovery as normal and enjoy clockworkmod recovery with fixed charging and sdcard

Command worked, however hangs at "sending 'recovery' <5066 KB>..."
On the screen of the Amaze there is a green vertical progress bar that is about 1/4 filled, but never moves beyond that.
Do you have root access? If so try downloading Rom Manager from the Market and flashing it with that.
Edit: N/m I went and re-read the instructions again and see you need recovery first.

you need root for that method to work, and even then it has a really old version of cwm that does not have internal sdcard support...
My son has Samsung Europa. He has locked his phone and cannot remember his password. I have tried to get into recovery to hard reset it but I cannot. I can get into download mode only? I've tried volume up, power, home. Ect. Nothing works.
Can someone tell me the correct procedure please

The europa doesn't have a hardware key combination to get into recovery.
You can use adb to get into recovery.
If you have android sdk installed. Open the command prompt and type "adb reboot recovery" without quotes.
Or you can download any other custom recovery like cwm and flash it in Odin.

Got it, I flashed firmware using Odin working well now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

If you flash cwm recovery us using odin it automatically boots into recovery.
If your on cyanogenmod or any other cm derived rom it'll have an option to reboot into recovery in the power menu.

If you want to reboot recovery from a stock rom or any rom with no recovery reboot option just root the phone and install the terminal app. Then open the terminal and type the following:
su (then hit enter/return on keyboard to get superuser)
reboot recovery (type that and hit enter/return again and the phone will reboot into recovery)
thanks
10x a bunch. you saved me thanks again everyone.
Tried to flash a kernel and messed up my phone so my problem now is...
My power button doesn't want to (click) and I'm stuck in bootloader mode (loading pj75img.zip) what can I do either restart my phone or turn it back on after the battery is drained... I'm on s-off rooted with TWRP
- thanks in advanced

I can't remember the command word for word but have you tried to reboot with fastboot?
Sent from my GNex using Tapatalk Xparent Green!
You could take out your sd card and like the last post said you can access recovery thru adb or fastboot.. I think its
Adb reboot recovery
Fastboot reboot recovery
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Fastboot reboot will reboot into the system, adb reboot recovery will reboot into the recovery but I believe will only work if the phone previously had USB debugging enabled and its halfway turned on (splash screen?).

If you can remove the sd card and manage to get into fastboot then I suggest flashing twrp as boot instead of recovery. It should reboot into recovery allowing you to flash a Rom. The kernel will replace twrp and boot to android

Why flash TWRP as boot instead of recovery ?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Well if the power button isn't working properly and there is no usable rom, the user might be able to power the phone but be unable to access recovery from bootloader. Flashing twrp as a kernel will load twrp upon reboot eliminating the need to select it from bootloader and allow user to flash a new Rom normally. Easier then repeatedly stabbing the power button and causing more unnecessary wear on an already damaged button
