I press power button + volume up & down then get into fastboot and choose recovery from there. However it only shows up android logo with no option. How come?
Is your phone rooted/bootloader unlocked?
Nope, i havent. Or is it i need to root and unlock the bootloader, and then flash the cwm into recovery partition? However cwm is 3rd party recovery, what i wan is to access stock recovery, may i jnow is it possible?

Just push Volume up + Power when you see the droid on his back with the exclamation mark above his open belly. That should bring you in the Recovery menu.

this will completely restore his phone to stock. ie; what ever rom he was using before, so be aware he is goint to lose everything.
yank the battery, put it back in
reboot into recovery
(hold Vol. Down and then hit the power button for like 2 seconds, once in the white screen with menu [fastboot] use vol. down to highlight recovery and hit power button) (if the fastboot menu asks if you want to flash the PC36Img file tell it NO. and it will take you back to the regular fastboot menu.)
do a full wipe
restore a nand backup or just reflash the rom he was using.
trying it now
it says no image

hey guys, i flashed stock recovery from Hasoon's Toolkit.but when i boot into bootloader and select recovery.it shows an exclamation mark in red.....why does the recovery not open????
Because you need to press vol up + power to get into stock recovery.
But why do you want to go into stock recovery ?
If you want to flash a custom ROM, you need a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP.
P.S Never ever press Vol up + Power when you are at any other screen other than after you select recovery as it may brick your device.

Hey.. i have a rooted htc desire hd running 2.3.5.Yesterday i tried to flash a custom rom in it..downloaded every single file required but when i entered the recovery mode it said
"do you want to clean boot device? if yes press volume up key and press volume down key for normal boot"
The vol. up key factory resets the phone whereas the vol. down key just simply restarts it..
please tell me what to do in order to enter the recovery mode so that i can flash a new custom rom in it..Thankyou
I don't know, but it's better to install 4ext Recovery, the most ROM's need this
What recovery do you have installed? And incidentally, how did you root?

Odd. 'Clean Boot' the device? Could you provide some pictures of the phone in this state? And the info BananaGranola asked for.
Hi,
I just flashed my GNex to the stock yakju ROM using the link since, i wished to receive OTA updates. Everything is working properly except when i am trying to install Titanium Backup from recovery mode. When i get into recovery mode, i see the android logo with the red exclamation mark. Now, there are options available to install a stock recovery but i am uncertain that the OTA updates might stop if i install one !
Is there a way to rectify the recovery so that i can install titanium backup and restore my apps without losing OTA updates ?
Please point me to a link which explain the steps in details if possible as i have never done this before

AFAIK, The red exclamation mark is not recovery mode.
You need to press Vol button up + down + lock. Then phone will reboot into bootloader.
Choose recovery mode by pressing vol down. then press power button.

Yes, i did that. I pressed vol up + vol down + power button. I got restart bootloader option. I navigated to recovery mode using the volume buttons and selected it by pressing power button. After that i am seeing the logo with the red exclamation mark.

Ok, i understood that pressing vol up + power button takes you to the actual menu . I want to install titanium backup from the zip i have made. Can anyone tell me how it is to be done?
I see options like
a)apply update from adb
b)apply update from sd card
c)wipe cache/data partition
d)factory reset
Where exactly should i keep my .zip file in the storage ? Inside android folder so that i can use option (b) ? Is there any other way to install the zip ?
The red exclamation mark is the default recovery..................
Flash the latest copy of CWM/TWRP, Google for it, it's not hard..
If you do not have your bootloader unlocked, click on the bootloader link on my signature..
You can boot with a custom recovery without flash it. You should use this command in fastboot mode:
fastboot boot my_recovery.img
If you want flash recovery you should use:
(You will lose OTA updates)
fastboot flash my_recovery.img
Thanks for all your answers. I was able to access the menu by holding the vol up and power button simultaneously.

You don't "lose" OTA but you can't install it.

you can use either, but i use twrp.
when the OTA boots you into recovery, you just select the OTA file and flash it.
if you modified any other system files, it will fail and will tell you why it failed.

Thanks! Too many people have reported several issues using this method. I don't know what determines the success.

thats because those people modify system files and think they're still stock.
literally, if you just change the recovery and root your phone, you can still flash the OTAs. if you change anything else, install something that changes system files (such as busybox), you will not be able to install the OTA. it really is that simple.
Hi there,
everytime I flash CWM 6.0.4.8 and Philz Touch 6.3.0.1 with Odin I'm unable to boot to recovery. I have to flash the stock rom and the the recovery image again to work around this. I wonder if there is any solution to simplify this process as I have a few devices here and it's kinda annoying
(Edit: I see a yellow warning sign after flashing the recovery the first time)
Any ideas?
You acces the recovery by pressing power + volume up.
Maybe this is your mistake ?!

I press volume down, menu + power to get into download mode. After flashing the new recovery I press volume up + menu + power to get into recovery but this fails (doent boot into recovery. getting a warning sign instead).
Strange thing...

Are you sure you are holding the buttons long enough? This may be the problem
if you let go right when the screen turns black and about to reboot this won't work.
try to hold it almost until the recovery sign pops up. Also instead of booting to recovery
right away try powering off and letting it rest, then boot up and into recovery.
PS : Make sure you're flashing a stable version and compatible version of recovery.
