So I downloaded the Stock Recovery from Mr Hofs Collection of Stock Recovery thread in General Section.
I flashed stock recovery, all went well. I attach picture of command prompt to show.
After I flashed it though and went to recovery it just gave me a black screen with a little phone in the middle, in the middle of the little phone was a red triangle with an upside exclamation mark. It was stuck like that for the better part of half an hour(pressed volume down with power, held power alone for minutes on end) nothing. No writing on it nothing.
Luckly as I was busy starting this thread now it just rebooted on its own and went back into the system. Is it totally fixed now or will it give me problems when I go into recovery? Should I go into recovery again?
How do I check if stock recovery is fine now or if there are any problems? I don't want it to hang and/or brick now.
Please if I made a mistake somewhere, tell me what I did wrong for future reference, I don't think I did anything wrong with commands
You can see at bottom of command prompt to, I even tried fastboot devices / adb devices to see if it picks anything up because I get the sound the computer makes when it's connected to USB so the computer at least picked up something.
Should I sell the phone now? lol
Boot again into recovery using the method you described. Once you see the android with red triangle image press and hold the volume up key and then press the power button while keeping the up button pressed. You'll enter the stock recovery.
This is the normal way of booting into stock recovery. You are fine!

I tried going back into recovery, got to the screen with the triangle and and pressed volume up and power button like you said. Instead of then taking me into stock recovery, it just vibrates and then reboots the phone.

hmm...i am running TWRP on GPE so i am not able to test this directly. Let's try one more time, but this time follow these steps:
- go back to recovery and wait for the red triangle screen
- wait for 5 - 10 seconds (don't think this is necessary, but try it anyways)
- this time press both volume up and down keys, and while holding them down press the power button
hopefully this will work. Otherwise i can try on a friends phone in the morning and give you the right combo.

Same thing, just vibrates and then reboots
What are you hoping for? You have stock recovery installed now. You seem to have discovered why there are custom ones.

With no recovery options, is that right though? It doesn't show me anything written on the screen and when I press "up volume and power" this should take you to some options, it gives nothing, it just reboots.
Not right then? Or will it still work fine just as it is now for OTAs?
P.S I have tried all methods given by umsheikh, I downloaded quickboot to try it, I did an adb reboot recovery to see if I can go through there, did it manually, shut off, wait a bit, turn back on go to recovery press power, wait 10secs press up and power, nothing, all of them just reboots the phone. It's bugging me lol
If you say it's right though and there is no need for me to actually see the options that it gives and I'll still receive my OTAs etc then fine, I'll leave it then, but I don't think it's right, is it?
Getting into the options is fiddly, but it sounds right. Try fastboot erase cache

i heard that you simply hold down the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON at the same time to boot into recovery, however whenever i try it does nothing until i release my finger from the POWER BUTTON and then it just boots normally.
what's the proper way of doing this with this phone?
thanks
[EDIT] as stated below, i got it to work. rather then powering off completely and trying it, i ended up just doing a simple reboot and then it worked.

Did you flash the recovery correctly? Try reflashing it if it won't work.

i got it. apparently i was doing it incorrectly. i was powering down the phone completely and then attempting it.. i finally tried to just 'reboot' the phone and then it worked.
go into "settings" click "power".. and make sure "Fast Boot" is un-checked.
Same here. Even though Fastboot was disabled, I cannot boot into recovery from off state.
If I power up the phone normally, then select restart, and while the phone is rebooting--I press and hold the down volume key; THEN it boots into the menu that gives me the choice of booting into recovery.
Oh well, it worked...
Hello Root, bye-bye bloat!
Waiting for some CM7 goodness to spread our way.
So I messed up...
I flashed the new JB, rooted, and unlocked it(FreeGee) and it was working decently. For some reason (that I can't remember now), I had to go back to ZV7 using LGNPST. When I reupdated to ZVB, I think I forgot to unlock with FreeGee and debloated. (at this point, you're thinking "this guy is a complete idiot") After my next restart, I got the dreaded "security error" bootloop.
I didn't panic yet. I went ahead and tried to downdate to ZV7 again using LGNPST. At 85%, the phone rebooted as normal but after the boot screen, it froze showing the "4GLTE" screen at the end of the animation. I tried waiting it out but no luck.
When I tried downdating again, I'm getting the same boot screen freeze. Worst part is I can't access recovery; the phone just restarts and goes through the boot animation.
So now, I'm panicking. Anyone else encountered this problem and/or can enlighten me please?
Go to recovery and factory reset the phone.

I tried accessing the recovery (Vol up + power?) but it just starts the boot animation. Is there any other way to access it? Also, because I used LGNPST, it should open the stock recovery, right?
Power button 45 seconds
Hold the power button down for about 45 seconds. This will truly turn off the phone.
Access recovery using Vol. Up and Power buttons, then factory reset, and reboot.
You will be good to go.

No luck :crying:
As soon as I hit the two button combo, I get the red LG globe logo pop up for a second.
If I release as soon as I see the logo, it goes to the boot animation
If I continue to hold the buttons (and wait for the the blind menu on the bottom left), the screen remains black and nothing comes on...even after holding the buttons for 45-60 secs.

HOT DIGGGGIITTYYY!
It worked! Thank you so much!
I couldn't get into recovery last night either.
This is the simplest way, methinks (from command prompt with adb.exe in same folder):
adb reboot recovery
I have had the One for a few days now and have been having data problems. I wanted to wipe the cache partition in recovery, but I cant get to it.
The phone is 100% stock.
I pwr+vol dn to get to the bootloader, then I select recovery and hit the power button. I get the HTC splash screen, then the screen goes black for 10-20 seconds and the phone reboots. I have tried every button combo I could find while the screen is black, but no luck so far.
From what I have found online, after selecting recovery in bootloader the phone should load a screen with a red triangle, then from there pwr+ vol up takes you to recovery. Even this doesn't work.
I talk to Verizon tech support and a guy in a corporate store and they both said that the One has no recovery.? I don't believe them.
I would really like to know what I'm missing here?
Try holding the vol up button and pressing the power button a few times.

are you pressing vol up first and then pressing the power button? if that fails, release the buttons and try the same thing again.

I did try this multiple times. The strange thing is that after I select recovery from the bootloader the screen goes black. Shouldn't it display an icon with two green arrows forming a circle, or red triangle or something?

try a factory reset from the bootloader after you back up everything that you can.
The HTC One was showing different odd behaviors with different recoveries on some isolated incidents before.
I have seen a few times that recoveries broke due to some random stuff happening. I have not seen the stock recovery break though. Interesting.
In the cases i have seen, a RUU did always help. Or put differently: re-flashing the recovery helped, no matter how it was done.
Sometimes its even enough if you just put the phone to fastboot mode and do a "fastboot erase cache" in cmd.
If you feel familiar with ADB and fastboot, you can obtain a stock Verizon recovery image here on XDA and flash it, using fastboot (provided you managed to unlock your phone or did the new s-off method).
Maybe first try to fastboot erase cache too.
Then, if you are S-ON and locked, you would need a Verizon RUU, which is not available as far as i know. So that would mean then service if none of the tips here help you. The service centers have the RUU's.... for them its a matter of a few minutes to fix it i guess...

When i first got my One a couple of weeks ago, i tried accessing recovery as well and got the same results. Black screen and seemed to freeze up for about a minute then it would boot into android. This was while i was 100% stock and locked. After s-off and flashing cwm i have no problems getting into recovery.

Mine came the same way, no functional stock recovery...(strange)
After S-Off and unlocking and loading a custom recovery, it hasn't had any Recovery related issues at all.
Getting into recovery on a completely stock device is tricky. I had the same issue. You select recovery from the hboot menu and wait till the screen goes black. I mean, completely off. Then hold the volup + power buttons.
Took me a few tries, but once I figured it out I was able to get in almost always.
ak074 said:
after selecting recovery from the bootloader, wait 40 seconds after the screen goes black. you should then see the red triangle and exclamation mark. you can also just hold vol up and keep tapping the power button. if you do it right, you should see yellow text at the bottom that says "Mount SDCARD failed 1 times" then 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times. this is what the phone is doing while the screen is black. pressing vol up and power a few times enables this to be shown. when that's done, you will see the triangle as you are used to seeing. hope this helps! hit the thanks button if it does :good:[/
After I did the volume up and the power button some tiny text came up on the screen (green) and went thru the routine you described and a green triangle came up and written underneath it said ANDROID RECOVERY or something like that. The text was so small I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. While in that recovery you have the option to wipe the cache partition, apply from sd card, apply from phone storage,apply from cache and wipe data / factory reset. So evidently this phone's recovery is wierd. HTC probably didn't expect anyone but developers to use it.

Guys, I just installed a pre-rooted image ( I9505XXUBMGA) and it's working fine, but I have no recovery of any kind? I tried installing CWM by flashing through Odin, but trying recovery keys means it just goes to a black screen and then reboots once you let the keys go and boots into the phone as per normal - also tried installing Goo manager and TWRP but no joy there either.
A bit of an oddity is that after installing the above, I installed ROM manager, which subsequently detects TWRP (even though it was uninstalled at this point) but selecting 'reboot to recovery' means it reboots into CWM!! I definitely can't get CWM through the recovery key combination though....
I'm pretty stuffed without any kind of recovery at all, so am not sure where to go from here? Help anyone?

Instead of holding power + volume the whole time, try letting go of the power button as soon as you feel it vibrate but keep the volume up pressed. Once you see the first splash screen with Recovery Booting in the upper left, you can go ahead and let go of the volume button as well.

Jeez, it's always the simplest of things!! Slightly different than my old S2 then...... thanks, bud, you saved me hours of hair pulling!! Any recommendations for an app that'll detect the CWM? I thought ROM manager would, but obviously not..... not in my case anyway.... not the end of the world, as long as CWM is working, that's the main thing!
Edit: Cancel the above, I got ROM Manager working......
Hey there, so my phone randomly decided to stop working today.
Whenever I put the battery in the phone or plug in the charger, the Samsung screen loads then nothing. This all happens without me pushing the power button btw. Then the power button doesn't work, nor can I access recovery.
Like I mentioned, this all happened very suddenly and unexpectedly. I haven't flashed a rom in awhile so I'm not sure what caused the problem. One tidbit worth mentioning is that my phone would randomly reboot on the rom I've been using, but it wouldn't happen too often.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not exactly sure what I should do in this situation. Thanks for reading.

try to be quicker to access recovery, power off the phone. then press the power, vol up, and home then AS SOON as you see the blue text on the left top side of the samsung logo screen let go of the buttons, it should boot into recovery then wipe data factory reset and reboot.

place in pda with only f. reset time and auto reboot checked. it SHOULD only take about 10 seconds to flash. as soon as your phone reboots hold the recovery combo and it should go to it
I can't really access download mode either.
I'll get to the screen that asks if I want to go into download mode, then push the up on the volume rocker, get to the next screen, but then it goes black about a second later.
Thanks for all the help so far though.

kinda odd. never had that happen before. ,maybe you could try to reflash the download mode into your phone using this method

or use a jig. since your phone can still access the boot interface.

Have you done this and then connected the USB to see if ODIN will recognize the phone? it's entirely possible that you are getting into download mode, but just can't see it..
It's certainly worth a try.
