EDIT 2: FIXED, thank you Checkm8!

Original Question:
My phone won't boot into recovery by using the manual method. I can boot into it no problem using GooManager to tell the phone to reboot into recovery, but no by powering off my phone, then holding down the power button and volume up. The phone'll vibrate and say "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue in the upper left, but the screen will just go black and the phone will boot normally after 2 seconds.
This isn't a big problem by itself, but my phone also seems to have a problem with wiping system on its own or something, because multiple times of rebooting my phone just to reboot, the phone won't boot at all. It'll just stay at the "Galaxy S4" splash screen.
EDIT: Flashing to complete stock using Odin doesn't fix the recovery issue, tried it multiple times.
I had a similar issue but it was my fault. I figured out later hold (in this order) volume up, home, and power buttons. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power button but continue holding the other two until you see "Recovery Booting". Let me know if that works for you.

You are correct sir.... Its not like the S3 that you had to hold all 3 buttons until you saw "Recovery Booting"..

Thanks, that got it to boot into recovery! But now it's just sitting at the "teamwin" screen and has been for the past 5 minutes... I'm going to assume that it's a one time thing and carry on with my life regardless. but now I know how to boot int orecovery the right way! I had gotten it to boot when i first got the phone a few times but I guess I had since started doing it incorrectly.

It's doing a fastboot loop. See the video:
Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.

How did you manage to get it on that screen? Anything you particularly did? This may help in the solving.

Thanks for your reply.
This happens when I insert the battery and press the power on button. Nothing other than that.
It's doing this for about a year and a half now (using a Desire these days, but stumbled upon my Hero earlier this week).
Can You go into recovery by holding home button ? Perhaps volume button is stuck or something ...

Could be a stuck volume button. Nothing different happens by holding down home button at startup.

Can't make my hero do that... But on my fastboot-screen it says that you have to press the menu button to reset the device.. Any chance that it's stuck? Also, what happens if you press the volume-up button at boot?
Hello everyone my name is Matteo from Italy
I made a big mess with my razr
I failed to flash a rom and the phone was stuck in ap fastboot I was able to get into recovery mode then I tried again to flash and eventually the phone will not start the first screen with the logo motorola dual core but it certainly does not go beyond missing some files you think there is a way to share or should I send it for repair or keep it as a paperweight
thank you for your cooperation

You should still get into the factory bootloader. I think it is turn off the phone, then hold down the power button and both volume keys. Then go to BP SBF Flash using down volume. Select that with up volume. Then you should be able to SBF the phone with a factory image that you download from somewhere using your PC and USB cable.

With the phone off, simultaneously push the power (same as lock) button and push in the middle of the volume up/down. Pushing in the middle of the volume up/down actually presses both up and down at the same time. Hold all three until the screen comes up to a menu. Should take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
As for the post right above this. Good point. How was your battery level when you performed this? If it was low do as suggested and charge it.

the battery was 60/70%
If you are getting the boot logo then you should be able to get into the menu I was talking about.

I've held the power button for several minutes, the buttons blink but the phone won't restart. Any tips besides letting the battery die?
Try volume up and down together plus power button, works on One X+

Hold both power and vol down until the screen goes black, usually a second boot gets you back into the os
Remember to clear your dalvik and cache before you use aroma, these current installers bug out if it's not done.

I help them for over a minute, nothing happened.

I have been able to do hard resets on droids before. This droid HTC DNA I cannot get it to HARD reset at all. Ive read a few sites, even information on HTC's website, youtube videos.
holding vol down and power does nothing but boot the phone normally and then prompts for a (forgotten') pin lock screen
Does anyone know the for sure how to do a hard reset on DROID DNA? the factory reset menu never comes on. the vol up and down keys work fine.
Hold down power. The buttons should blink. This will hard reboot the device. Once it shuts off, hold down volume also. This should send you to the hboot screen where factory reset option is available.
Be sure not to hold down volume - until the phone hard reboots.

I hold down power it gives me the 3 seconds countdown until restart, screen goes black after 3 seconds but its still booted never restarted. (im guessing this phone has fastboot enabled and I cannot disable it because pin lock is on)
Odd, I have fast boot enabled on Viper and did what I mentioned with no issues.
Edit: are you still holding power down after screen shuts off and then pressing vol down also?

Can you do adb reboot bootloader?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
just press and hold volume down and power for ten seconds or until it boots into hboot and if you are going straight to fastboot unplug from a usb cable and select bootloader
I was attempting to flash over a new ROM. The sense 5.5 that just released. using the fastboot/hboot wasn't working so I tried to install from TWRP recovery, still not working. I then wiped my phone and did a factory reset, including the ROM wipe on TWRP. It booted up without an OS and now I can only get the boot screen to appear but the phone won't shut off. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
Hold the power button down until the screen turns off, then immediately hold the volume down button until it boots back into hboot. (You don't have to keep holding the power button after the screen turns off) other than that I have no idea what your post is about or what you were trying to do.

Thanks for the reply. At 1am, sometimes you just need someone to talk you down from the ledge!

I've had some issues trying to flash new 4.3 roms on new TWRP, install fails after few seconds, screen goes dark, then HTC screen w red dev text comes up, have to hold power button to restart into bootloader/recovery. Seems to help to reboot recovery after wiping and before flashing the rom for me
