I think you're in the wrong forum, are you using a My Touch 4G or a Vibrant?
Also, are you sure your recovery is messed up? Have you tried going into recovery via the key method? CWM keys follow:
MT4G: Vol Down + Pwr
Vibrant [Froyo Boot-loaders]: Vol Up & Down + Pwr
Vibrant [GB Boot-loaders]: Vol Down + Pwr
Also, try using adb:
Code:
adb shell reboot recovery
Or terminal emulator:
Code:
reboot recovery

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

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.
What is the terminal/adb command to go in the recovery directly ?
Code:
reboot recovery
doesnt seem to work ...
I am using pvypart's recovery ...

pvyparts app and serjar's system UI allow you to go to recovery directly so I believe there must be a terminal command too .

From the pc you can type

adb reboot recovery
This won't work on phone, because it would start an adb server on phone, so I don't know about the command on phone
Hmm
Doesnt seem to work
adb reboot recovery just reboots the phone ..
Hi
Did you previously install a recovery??
If not, try X-parts.
Hi
I can boot into recovery if I repeatedly press volume down at boot
Or I can access the recovery using x-parts or server's framework...
I need the terminal or adb command.

You mean you can't boot in it or you can? By pressing volume down again and again? Reinstall the recovery, it must work. On which software version are you?

The recovery works...
I am on ics 587
I want to write a batch script so I can directly boot in recovery when my phone is connected to to windows ...
That's why I need the terminal command.

Can you reboot into recovery from your hardware with out hitting the vol rocker? So on my hardware (ST18i) I can long press power select reboot and then I have the option for reboot or recovery. When this is set up correctly, selecting recovery will automatically reboot the device into recovery with out having to hit vol dwn...when it is not set up correctly it will reboot normally...so if you want recovery you have to hit vol dwn. Mine is currently not set up correctly...and when I try adb reboot recovery it behaves exactly like yours....just reboots with out going to recovery.
AFAIK the problem for the reboot to recovery from the hardware is in the ramdisk (not sure about from adb) so maybe try another kernel.....
My phone is locked ...
I tried both recoveries available with x-parts ...
The phone boots the recovery woth the modified framework(Hold the power button)
But I wanted the adb commands for a batch script ..
Anyway Thanks for your replies

Hi Cyprus 2242239, you could try this via terminal or adb
Code:
busybox echo 1 > /data/.recovery_mode
reboot
Cheers. Good luck.
Edited: you could try with ROM Toolbox (Reboot Bootstrap script in scripter section)

Did you install BusyBox? If so, was it installed to /system/xbin? If BusyBox is not installed to /system/xbin the 2nd-init recovery will not work. Also, there is no key combination to boot in to the 2nd-init recovery. Power off your device. Turn it back on. If the 2nd-init recovery is installed correctly, your hardware key lights will flash while the LG logo is showing on the screen. Press the volume down button to enter in to recovery.
Also, multiple copies of BusyBox will cause issues. Use the BusyBix installer to uninstall all copies of BusyBox and then reinstall BusyBox to /system/xbin.
I would also add that after your first boot into recovery that you immediately before doing anything else is to make a nandroid backup.
This step is very important because, as shinobisoft said.. BusyBox can cause problems.
BusyBox can cause another problem that after you boot out of recovery and back into android OS, you will get the "Encrypting Phone - Reset" error and all you have to do to recover the phone is to power it off and reboot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup.
If you don't get the error then your fine.
Its working now, after reboot leds keep blinkin, vol- boots into recovery, thanks for help guys.

Recently bricked my honor 5x used fast boot to get it out of boot loop. (Because I tried to its update my phone with twrp)now when I try to re flash twrp it gets replaced by the stock recovery Everytime . Please help!
Samething happend to me... cannot flash twrp because when i restart phone after flashing twrp, it gets replaced by stock recovery.
What i do now is to boot to twrp instead of flashing using this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img
Hopefully there is a solution for this flashing problem.

you can't just reboot after flashing recovery ...you have to boot directly to twrp after the flash with power + volume up (Skip the fastboot reboot step)
the simple way is to copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to your sdcard
fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now in twrp choose install / image / then choose kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose reboot / recovery
you now have kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
from then on adb reboot recovery from android
or power + volume up will enter TWRP

why are you using adb ?
did you read the instructions i posted
I have the stock recovery.
I cant get into twrp.
I tried to flash then go straight to twrp which gets replaced by stock bootloader
Idk it gets replaced everytime
Okay the adb thing stopped I got into twrp by doing the fastboot thing but when i boot into recovery it goes to the stock recovery.

I really don't know why you don't seem to get it
it's this simple
you fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now while in TWRP copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to the phone
Also copy SuperSU-v2.64.zip (or newer) to the phone
after the files are copied choose Install / Image / kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose install / SuperSU.zip
next choose Reboot / Recovery
you now have TWRP recovery and you can enter it by using power + volume up
or from an app on the phone (I use Quickboot) or from a pc with adb reboot recovery
I have the same problem, i tried with your method but the system continue to replace bootloader, impossible to keep twrp on recovery
Edit : I try to install Root Checker, it detect my phone is root but impossible to access to TWRP, very strange

Tried this on my KIW-L21, as this is the only way I did not try it yet...
Did not work, unfortunately, I assume the OP could have the same problem as I already posted in the TWRP thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66678377&postcount=509
(It is a shame people spam this thread with unlocking problems, though)
EarlyMon mentioned something about dual recovery partitions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66838009&postcount=529
So regardless how many times I flash TWRP it wont stick until the next reboot to recovery, as it gets replaced by the stock one all the time.
I am thankful for every news on that topic and I would happily help(to the extent I am able to) getting TWRP back onto our phones :good:
P.S.: I am not quite sure if the OP has another problem in flashing the recovery, though.

So you are booting TWRP
Installing / TWRP.Img in TWRP and Reboot recovery and your not booting to TWRP ?
Just my two cents into this thread: apparently (from my personal experience, and EarlyMon seems to back this up) the Honor 5X for whatever reason allows the installation of TWRP but still keeps Huawei's stock recovery in place, unlike most phones. What's more, it randomly (yeah, guessing it's not random obviously, but I don't have the slightest clue what the pattern might be) decides to boot into stock recovery while I use the same hardware keys that have continuously booted me into TWRP up until that point. This behavior led me to believe I had bricked my phone for a day, lol (I made a recent post about it on this forum, in case anyone cares).
Bottom line: if you can't boot into TWRP even though you made sure to install it correctly, try changing the key combo. Vol down + Power not working for you? Try Vol Up. Neither work? Try Vol Up + Down + Power. Spice it out and it might solve your problems.

That is correct:
Connected Phone to PC
ADB reboot bootloader
fastboot boot kiwi.img
install image kiwi.img
reboot recovery
Tada, Stock eMUI Recovery :[

The last approach was done with the one from the first post of the TWRP thread here on XDA(https://goo.gl/53xai9) "kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img"
I also tried the TWRP images from https://twrp.me/devices/huaweihonor5x.html but always the same result.
I can try with a specific image, just give me a link and I'll try to flash it. :fingers-crossed:
