Sorry, if this is duplicated. (Will delete it in this case.)
Phone always goes to recovery, no matter if VolUP is pressed or not.
On boot goes straight to recovery.
How to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi
ive just done a nandroid backup now my disre cant get past the splash screen. it keeps trying but just reboots again and again. any sugestions.
nandroid backup does not change anything on the phone so if it booted before you must have changed or wiped something either before or after you did the backup.
try applying the backup you just took and see if it works then. if not you probably made the change before the backup which will probably mean a full wipe and install.
thanks for your quick response. it sounds like a stupid question but how I do that if it wont stop trying to boot.
hold the volume down key and when it boot loops it should drop into the bootloader from there you can get into recovery.
or pull the battery put it back in and power on with vol down held
Thanks again larkspeed I tried that before but was holding the vol key up.
Much appreciated.
hi,
should not needed to pull out the battery if you pressed same times power+vol-down+trackpad => the phone reboots. while it does so keep press vol-down and you should able to go into recovery after hboot screen.
suggest to read that post... really teaching things about nandrestore and what is boot.img

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

Thank you, clearing cache worked, I see options now in recovery :good:
Ok when restoring a backup, I must have done something wrong, because now I think the boot img is messed. When it went to boot, the splash screen came up, and then the screen went black. I can restart it by pressing volume up and power. But same thing happens. And can't get into bootloader, recovery. Nothing will boot up. Please help!
Edit never mind. Discovered that if I let go at 10 seconds, and then hit power plus volume down, instead of waiting for it to reboot, I could get into bootloader.
Hi, I had a ROM and I wanted to change to another one that I had backed up so I deleted everything, went to the ROM, stayed there for an hour and then I pressed the power menu, clicked in reboot in recovery mode so I could go back to my other ROM and now... it doesn't stop rebooting into recovery. I tried taking the battery out and when it turns on, it's like if I'm holding the bottoms to go to recovery and once it passes the logo of the recovery, it restarts and does the same operation... I have TWRP recovery.
Any help is appreciated

Hello All,
my phone was bootloader unlocked, rooted, installed with custom ROM and custom recovery.
Selling it to my friend, I did a phone reset in the phone setting menu.
Seems like I have done the wrong way? should have done in the custom recovery menu (TWRP)?
Now seems like I can not boot up to recovery mode anymore, by pressing power & volume down button, it always boot up straight to normal state.
Questions:
Have I lost the custom recovery?
How do I re-install? go thru ADB mode?
Thanks!
That button combo reboots to bootloader, not recovery (which doesn't have a button combo to boot directly to). Its a subtle difference (recovery vs. bootloader), but important. Its nearly impossible for the phone to not be able to boot into bootloader (if the bootloader was damaged, you wouldn't even have the screen coming on). If that is what you are experiencing (can't get into bootloader), you are probably just doing the button combo incorrectly: Hold vol up and power buttons until the phone reboots. When the screen goes black, but before the white HTC logo screen appears, let go of those buttons, and only hold vol down. Don't let go of vol down until you see the bootloader screen. If the phone boots normally, you likely just got the timing wrong, either started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just repeat until you get into bootloader.
Alternately, within OS (and debugging enabled) you can do:
adb reboot-bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
Now, if you get into bootloader, select recovery, and TWRP still doesn't boot. Then yes I'd recommend fastboot erase cache, and re-install TWRP by fastboot.
Pardon me,
I used the wrong term, I mean boot to bootloader.
I also pressed the wrong buttons, vol down and power instead of vol UP and power.
Many thanks for your advise.
