As the title suggests, I can't boot into recovery.
When i choose reboot into recovery, it shows the htc logo for a while then flashes black, I think i sww the CWM background for a moment, then restarts back to the htc logo and then the rom boot animation.
Same thing happens when i try to boot into recovery from hboot.
hBoot version 1.36.
kernel: 3.6.7-TripNDroid_pro_series-010

this ROM
Installed it through CWM and most things seem to work fine except for the stated problem.
I can still boot and use the phone but not being able to boot into recovery is making me very uncomfortable.
According to google, it might be because I have fastboot enabled but I can't find the option to disable it anywhere.
I tried reflashing CWM with the version found here but i still can't boot into CWM.

Settings>power doesn't exist for me somehow.
I can't boot into recovery. "ThePeople'sROM" splash page just hangs forever and never goes into recovery.
Methods I've tried to get into recovery:
"Reboot Recovery" from the Power Button Menu when phone is on.
Volume Down+Camera+Power
Volume Up+Camera+power
Your recovery probably got overwritten And for some strange reason your phone still starts up. Anyway just reflash cwm from odin and you should be golden

Could either use fastboot to get into recovery, or simply Odin CWM/TWRP in again.
Btw, TWRP 2.5 is a tad buggy with UI, so you may want to use CWM.
Thanks
I used ODIN to flash CWM and it worked fine. Thanks a lot.
I couldn't figure out how to install TWRP. Does CWM support MTD roms (which I'm currently running) ?

cwm 5.0.2.7 is bml
anything higher is mtd
my devhost in the signature has cwm and twrp downloads
I successfully flashed cyanogenmod 11x last night. I followed the steps and everything works great! The phone boots fine, all features work ok. I had a slight issue of it hanging on the CM logo, but I powered down, booted to hboot > factory reset, and it booted up fine the second time.
Strangely, I don't seem to be able to get into recovery any more? if I go into hboot > recovery it just boots CM. I tried flashing the recovery again using fastboot, as I did when first installing CM, but it still doesn't work. Next I installed Rom Manager, installed the latest CWM, and rebooting into it from there - Still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks! flash recovery did it!
So, I have the X9046 variant, and I've tried to use the TWRP recovery here.
I went into fastboot, did fastboot flash recovery <recoverynamehere>.img, with no errors. But, when I reboot into recovery it goes into the stock recovery.
I even did fastboot boot <recoverynamehere>.img, and it would just be stuck in fastboot, until I forced a reboot.
Any ideas?

I've used that before, and I've had the same problem.
No error during process ?
What are your build ?
stock or custom rom ?
Did you try to unlock bootloader ?

If you're running ColorOS, there might be a script that's part of ColorOS that restores the stock recovery. Not sure. (It's a common thing to see in most OEM firmware releases)
Hey guys. So here's the thing. I unlocked the zuk's z2 bootloader using the standard method (fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img, with the img they sent me via email, and then fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock-go), and then I went to flash the TWRP recovery. I downloaded the recovery image from the official twrp website and proceeded to flash it with "fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp.img". The flashing was successful. But before restarting the device, I chose the option to boot into recovery, so that the original recovery wouldn't overwrite TWRP. However, the phone does not boot into the recovery, ever. It "shuts down", tries to boot into recovery, and without showing anything on the screen simply restarts to the normal system. Even flashing a stock ROM in the phone with MiFlash (relocking the bootloader) and trying to boot into the stock recovery does not work.
And, the only method to boot into any recovery that works is to use "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot recovery.img". But as we know this isn't permanent.
Anyways, sorry for the wall of text, I wanted to make sure what I said was clear Please help guys, what should I do??

Why not flash twrp as an image file while in non permanent twrp? And while you're there flash supersu too.

I did manage to flash a custom ROM, GApps and Magisk with the temporary TWRP and everything worked. But I just flashed the TWRP image as you said and the flash was successful, but the phone still doesn't boot into recovery
WTF is going on?? Its kinda like the image is being flashed correctly, but the phone fails to access the recovery partition to boot it... Halp!
Edit: Flashing via flashify also didn't work...

As that window on boot shows that in 5 sec. to push anything, choose from that window Boot to bootloader, from there using volume buttons choose boot to recovery, it will reboot, wait those 5 secs and immediately after that window gone keep pushing both volume buttons and it should boot your recovery - it's the same for me and idk why

Still though, it's really annoying having to do that every time to boot to recovery... If i figure out why that happens I'll shed some light here... And Would also be grateful if anyone who knows the reason for it explains why

As you said, is a patience problem:
I had the same problem and beeing serious I was very desperate, I tried and tried for weeks and nothing! BUT BRO! It was just beeing patient! You did it! You flashed the TWRP, now is just to wait!:
1. Turn on your device
2. Press volume keys to enter to the fastboot menu
3. Choose Recovery
4. Now the device will reboot and show the same thing as always(ZUK,Bootloader is unlocked,blablabla.), and here is when all starts, YOU NEED TO WAIT 5 SECONDS BRO!, AND THEN IT WILL BOOT TO TWRP!
5. Thats all, you're on!
P.D.: Apologize me for bad english :'v
Hope it worked!
