Joining so that I can post this, as it took me HOURS to sort it out. Hopefully this helps others!
Needed:
Laptop or PC with Windows (that is where it worked for me, but should work on other OSes)
fastboot app from the Platform Tools for Android (developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html)
USB cable to connect the computer to the phone and run fastboot commands on it
First, you must boot the phone into FASTBOOT mode:
Turn off the phone
Press: ON and VOLUME DOWN buttons together for a few seconds
Release the buttons when your phone shows a mostly black screen with "FASTBOOT" at the bottom-left corner
Next, connect the phone to the computer and use the fastboot app to reboot it into recovery mode (green robot with open chest):
Open a command window and go to the folder where you downloaded and extracted the Platform Tools for Android (download link above)
While the phone is in FASTBOOT mode, connect the device via USB (you should hear the Windows chime when connected)
Test connectivity with: fastboot getvar version
Reboot the phone into recovery mode with: fastboot reboot recovery
Finally, go into the recovery menu and run the factory reset:
After the phone has booted into recovery mode it will show the green android robot with the open chest but will not show a menu
To see the recovery menu, press a *SHORT/QUICK* button combination: POWER + VOLUME UP
You should see the recovery menu now, listing many options (YAY!!)
Press VOLUME DOWN to select "Wipe data/factory reset"
Press POWER to select and accept the factory reset
When that has completed, reboot the phone (press POWER which selects 1st option for "Reboot now")
genius! thank you. minimal fastboot not work, those platform tools are required
Brilliant! Worked a treat.
Thanks

hi, any one can post some explanation about the menu when you press Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.
appears a lot of opitions... any one know all??? and the funccion?
tks
if u know where i can read please post the link!!!
You've stumbled into a bar on the wrong side of town, mi amigo!
Seriously, before you go trying to actually use any of these menus, you will want to read this post in its entirety:

That being said, here are some notes on how this works on the Atrix 4G.
Fastboot menu
- Power on phone
- Press and hold Volume Down key as soon as green power light goes out
- Wait until "Fastboot" appears on Motorola splash screen
- Press Volume Down key to cycle through menu items
- Press Volume Up key to select item
The three most important items in the Fastboot menu for Moto modding are Android Recovery, Fastboot, and RSD:
Android Recovery
- Enter Fastboot main menu and select "Android Recovery"
- Wait until Exclamation mark and Android icons appear on screen
- Tap lower right-hand corner of screen to open system recovery menu (for newer firmware versions, press the Volume Up/Down keys simultaneously)
- Press Volume Up or Volume Down keys or tap menu to select item
- Rotate phone to LANDSCAPE orientation and tap lower corner of screen near "OK" to accept selected item (or press the Volume Up/Down keys simultaneously)
Fastboot protocol support
- Power on phone
- Enter Fastboot main menu (as previously explained) and select "Fastboot"
- Wait until "Starting Fastboot protocol support" appears on screen
RSD protocol support
- Power on phone
- Press and hold Volume Up key as soon as green power light goes out
- Wait until "Starting RSD protocol support" appears on screen
- OR -
- Enter Fastboot main menu (as previously explained) and select "RSD"
Android Recovery is a GUI interface for wiping the phone/restoring to factory defaults and applying firmware updates. Recovery packages consist of a zip file containing partition images and a script to tell the recovery program what to do with them. It's common practice to replace the stock recovery program with ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery. For the Atrix 4G you'll need to use a special version - Tenfar's CWM Recovery Mod for Atrix 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Fastboot protocol requires a USB connection to a command terminal on a PC. Partition .img files are applied directly to the phone memory. You won't want to mess with this until you've read and understood the N00B Guide at the link posted above.
RSD protocol also requires a USB connection. Commands can be issued via a terminal window or a Windows GUI program called "RSD Lite". RSD uses SBF (Single Binary Format) image files instead of the partition image files used by Android Recovery and Fastboot. You also don't want to mess with this until you've thoroughly studied all the info in the N00B Guide.
When you feel you have a basic grasp of how this all works, then here's the easiest method for unlocking your Atrix 4G:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
This all-in-one program will automatically unlock your phone, install Tenfar's CWM recovery, and install su for root access. You won't need to install ADB or RSD Lite or anything else on your PC except for the Motorola USB drivers. I used this one myself after lurking and reading here for about a month. Worked like a charm for me.
Good Luck!
Updating the thread to say... at this point the recommended Atrix recovery is romracer's version, posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1204500
romracer is actively maintaining this version, and it correctly handles backups and restores to/from both the internal storage and the external SD card.
After you run mramirezusa's unlock/recovery/root script (see link in previous post), you can use Tenfar's recovery to install romracer's recovery.
Just noticed that the OP appears to be posting from Brazil... (but then again, I'm not really posting from Antarctica...)
OP, if you don't have an AT&T phone then mramirezusa's script is not for you. Sorry for the confusion...
I got a tablet device (Omega OT107) I've rooted it using
Code:
ro.kernel.qemu
method.
Next I'm triying to flash Custom Recovery and my problems started here.
What I've tried:
1.
Code:
flash_image recovery
- no success process of flashing never ends
2. Install bootmenu to /data/bootmenu
3. Installed 2 different 2Init's
None of this worked or even had an impact on how device works (it always boots in android correctly).
I've tried to boot it to fastboot mode to flash recovery from there but there is a problem that I have.
Volume(up or down) + Power buttons starts device to Android not to bootloader (I've read you need to remove and reinsert battery to make it work, but device has a build in batery and needs to be taken apart to remove it so I did not tryed it)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
- boots to what I think is a bootloader (screen is black(no light is comming out of it)) when connected to Windows PC it is seen as Android Bootloader Interface (Android-SDK driver).
Code:
fastboot devices
does not discover any devices, clicking volume or power button does nothing.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
- boots devices it what seems to be useless recovery mode. At start there is a standing android dude with fireball on his chest, and imidietly changes to a lying position with his chest oppened and an exclamation mark comming out of it (I've red it is ok and I need to press Volume(down/up) + Power buttons to open recovery menu but it does not happen).
My question is:
Is it normal to some devices bootloader to look like mine? How to make it discoverable to fastboot?
I had this issue and I fixed with "press all the buttons!" and suddenly I sow recovery menu...to factory reset. if it doesn't work repeat with rebooting with pin
Does someone knows a way how to hard reset this thing?? ^^
about firmware
Any idea where find the firmware for this tablet?
Mine is now freeze on recovery logo
hard reset OT107
1.Turn off our tablet.
2 We press the MENU button at the same time + POWER HOUSE click and hold
3.Wait until the Android image.
4.Then VOL + button and the POWER and appears to us to Recovery Mode
5.Navigation is Vol-i + and confirmed by pressing POWER.
I tried installing TWRP after turning off the bootloader. I clicked on Recovery in the Fastboot and now it's stuck in "Entering Recovery...". The phone restarts with that screen every few seconds. Holding power+volume down doesn't do anything (unless I'm not timing it right). What can I do?

I know this is late, but I just went through the same damn thing. Twrp 3.1.0.0 forces a recovery loop, install 3.0.0.2 instead.
As soon as you see the "entering recovery" screen, hold volume up and power until your phone restarts. (If it goes back to recovery, wait until it loops and do it again) as soon as your screen goes black from the hard restart, hold volume down and power to boot into your phone regularly.
After your phone boots, use the twrp app to install the previous version of twrp. (Like I said, avoid 3.1.0.0 like the plague. I've already brought this issue up with the recovery handler, hopefully it gets resolved.)

There is an alternative that I've found very useful. And have tested it out several times while attempting to in-OS factory reset. If you're stuck on the 'loading recovery' screen and it continuously reboots, perform the following steps.
1. Press the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time, and keep held for 10 seconds until the screen has gone off.
2. Once you know it's gone off, quickly switch from Volume Up to Volume Down, keep held down.
-This should let you be able to enter into the Bootloader menu. From there, you will require Minimal ADB/Fastboot installed on your computer. Opening up an administrative command prompt within the ADB folder by pressing down Shift and right clicking on the window of the folder(or in my case since Windows 10's new update no longer opens that up, instead opens PowerShell, copy and past cmd.exe from System into that folder (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE, OR DRAG AND DROP)), type in the following.
fastboot devices
-If your device shows up in this list, then you're good to go. Head over to the TWRP website and find your HTC 610 TWRP version, or do as I do and just select 2.8.4.0 and download it.
-Rename the downloaded file as "twrp.img" and drag it into the ADB/Fastboot folder in which you loaded up the cmd prompt from before.
-Next, back to the command prompt you loaded earlier (if you haven't closed it by now) and type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
-This should copy the file over to your device. After this is completed, go ahead and reboot or boot into recovery. This last option I've not attempted immediately after flashing TWRP back to the main system, but that's because I'm working with an older version of CW12.

Just holding volume up and power worked for me.After the splash screen appears continue holding volume up but let go of power and it will boot I to go.e screen as usual.I then just used the twrp app and flashed 3.0.2.0
I connect my Lg G5 H850 to PC, open a cmd prompt and I can find it in the adb devices list. But if I try the command: "adb reboot bootloader", it reboot but not in recovery mode. If I try manul recovery mode ( push Vol DN and Power ) it doesn't work too.
What can I try ? Can you help me ?
Thanks
Power down, hold VOL DN and connect LG G5 to the PC ( fastboot start automatically ).
I believe that by default the LG g5 does not have a recovery the closest to that is the method you describe: shut down, turn on with volume down and power button, when you see the LG logo you let go the power button for a second then you press it again (you don't let go the volume down button In any moment) then you see a white screen with some text that asks if you want to wipe the phone, you have to select the "yes" option twice and it will wipe the phone, if you have a custom recovery installed (twrp) it will boot into twrp if not it will only wipe the phone
Hi,
My grandfather locked his chinese tablet without knowing how.
Each time we start the tablet we arrive on an input field asking for a password we don't have.
I can't found how to reboot in recovery, however I can boot to fastboot mode with power and vol up keys.
The tablet is branded as a Kliver Klipad KL3889, but there is no other information on the vendor website (klipad DOT fr)
The user manual only says A64 Quad Core CPU and Mali 400MP GPU.
The tablet is running Android 8.1 Go edition, and shows up as "Onda (unverified)" with 1f3a:1006 id according to lsusb command.
When booted in fastboot mode, it shows up with a different id on lsusb :
1f3a:1010 Onda (unverified)
I can not reach the tablet using adb, and when I tried a fastboot
reset using the following commands :
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1f3a erase cache
fastboot -i 0x1f3a erase data
fastboot -i 0x1f3a erase userdata
all I get is the following error :
FAILED (remote: :secure mode,fastboot limited used)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What are my options ? Is there a way to fully reset this device ?
perhaps web search: JTAG + tablet details. Some disassembly required. SuperUser has previously recommended Ort JTag.

As I previously said, I can't access recovery mode. I've tried all keys combinations I could find, and the only one working (Vol Up + power) boot into fastboot mode, not recovery mode.

Hi , try this :
1) Turn off the tablet
2) Hold "Volume +" and turn on the tablet
3) Once you see KLIPAD logo on your display, release the "ON" button (or power) while holding "Volume +"
4) You must arrive on the Android logo, and you will probably get the message "No command"
5) You can let go of "Volume +"
And that's where it becomes interesting:
6) Press "ON" (or power), and while holding the button, a pulse on "Volume +"
7) You finally arrive at the menu of restoration
You navigate through the menu by means of the volume keys, and the "ON" (or power) button acts as validation.
Choose "data / factory reset", confirm
Then "reboot system now" and you're done, if that doesn't work try the same process just with VOl- , also what you can try is :
1. Turn off your device
2. Press and hold Vol - and power button , and once you see Logo , fast release both buttons and see if you are into Recovery mode.

It works like you said until step 4 where I get the android logo, but no "No command" message.
Then when I hold ON button while pressing VOL+ it doesn't do anything.
