Ok I was kinda playing around with the recovery today. I did something wrong with the button sequence and my phone booted up into the Motorola recovery menu(with white text and everything).
The only problem is, I don't remember what I pressed? Can someone tell me how to enter the Motorola recovery?
Does installing the bootstrap recovery mess up the Motorola one?
Turn phone off, hold both volume keys & press power. Then scroll down to recovery, press volume up, hold both volume keys at the following splash screen, and bam.

You can turn off the phone by pressing simultaneously
power and volume down (-) buttons about 5 secs.
Then yuo can think about what i can to do next ;-)

My phone is in boot loop right now and when I hit power and vol down, my phone with continually vibrate for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes out... but then it just boots up again
You can try push volume down button (and keep it pressed down)
at the same moment that screen goes out, maybe you can reach
AP Fastboot-mode in this way?
Well I can get to the menu for AP Fastboot
But im at work.. i dont have the file or RSDLight here at work.
But I can get to the recovery and it gives me the option for "factory reset" or "apply update from SDcard".
If I have a backup from bootstrap, can I use that file under the "apply update from SDcard" option?
EDIT: No you cant apply from SD (a recovery)
I think that yuo can't use backup from bootstrap via Motorolas recovery...
Maybe only way is install correct OFFICIAL Motorola ROM via AP fastboot.

Here is also good RSD alternative for flashing:

you close but it goes against what he just said. Once ur device powers.of press the volume keys then hold the power button ...it'll put u in recovery. You then need to scroll down twice I think to fast boot and press the up key to select....
You can only go down in this recovery. When you press up it selects. You will then need to follow a.vid on YouTube called how to restore Droid RAZR

I tried flashing a team for artic and now i'm stuck in a boot loop, how do I get to recovery?
If you turn off the phone, (Volume Down and Power, you should see the screen glitch). Then hold down both volume buttons while it's off and press the power button. That will take you to the recovery console.
Navigation note: You can only scroll down, pressing the vol+ key will be the same as hitting enter.
From this screen you can fastboot, recover, etc.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
IM sorted
I sorted out the problem by following

Had to root my phone to install ezboot which gets me into recovery.
No such luck with the stock three button initialize. Can select recovery but it just hangs at motorola sign.
Me too....aaarrrgg :-( what to do????

While you're at the M logo, hold power and volume down key as if to do a hard reboot. This somehow simulates a "battery pull". As soon as the M vanishes (the reboot starts) IMMEDIATELY press and hold the volume down, volume up and power buttons at the same time and hold them at least until the M comes up, possibly longer. This should at least get you back into the recovery mode. You need to basically be holding the power plus both volume buttons BEFORE the M comes back which is why I say start pressing them immediately after the "STUCK" M-logo disappears.
Wipe cache
I had an issue when the update wouldn't install from sd card. I suggest all that do this update wipe cache and restart
Hi all. I was running CM7 on my photon. I need to relock it so I can have Sprint fix a headphone jack issue. I followed all the instructions on relocking via FullSBF flash. Now my phone is on a constant boot loop. It goes to the motorola splash screen and circles are coming from the Big M and then it restarts. It keeps doing this. I tried pulling battery but it keeps happening. How can I fix this???
This is an example, that something is not good. So many threads, just because people don't know how to wipe data in stock recovery.
Start the phone while pressing volume down, when you see fastboot, keep pressing volume down, until you see Android recovery, press volume up, when you see exclamation mark, press both volume buttons. The rest is the same like in CWM recovery.

I did that before I started flashing but yea I did it again and its good now. I was about to edit my threat because its working now.
So true. So many pple run into the same issue and all it needs is a reboot.
In the thread where it says how to relock this should be included in big bold red letters

I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power

To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
