hey guys,
as i already wrote i got an issue with my milestone and its recovery mode. Today afternoon i decided to flash a vulnerable recovery on my phone and then try G.O.T. open recovery out for the first time. After flashing the vulnerable recovery I tried to enter recovery mode by pressing camera button while pressing power button and then (when the triangle appears) the camera button with the volume up button (the way its always done to get there). This worked out pretty well and i was able to do a nandroid backup, root my phone and install the G.O.T. theme (just to try sth out). Later i wanted to flash a custom rom to my milestone, but since then i couldnt even enter recovery mode, i'm always stuck at the point where the triangle appears. I pressed camera+volume up for 2 min and nothing happened, even entering "su" and "reboot recovery" from a terminal app didn't work. everything else is working fine, could somebody explain me what i'm doing wrong or how to fix this? thanks a lot in advance!
EDIT: Ok, i'm really sorry for causing any inconvenience, i figured my mistake out by accident. i pressed camera + power, released both when the triangle showed up and pressed camera and then volume up, while it should be the other way around i guess, cuz now it worked out fine...
got same problem, stuck on triangle and no reaction on volumeUP + camera…
bump
Is this for the milestone or the vzw droid they have different systems. i know for the droid its power + X for 10 sec while the M logo is up. Im sorry im not to familiar with the milestone A853

I’ve got an AT&T Captivate that is stuck in 3e recovery, because it won't recognize when I use the power button to select "reboot system now."
Some background:
It was stuck in a boot loop running CM7. I re-installed éclair to take advantage of 2e recovery. Rooted it, and intended to put a version of UCKB1 without 3e recovery, so I could install unsigned files to prep for a re-install of CM. Apparently I flashed the wrong rom or the flash got corrupted. I can’t get it into download mode. Tried using a jig, tried using one-click unbrick. I can’t even use ADB, since it is in recovery.
Any help would be amazing! Thanks in advance.
Does the phone boot all the way to Android or does it still loop?
Did you use the jig while in recovery?
you have to use it on a powered off state.
Just yank the battery and either try the jig while powered off, or if it boots correctly use adb while it's powered up.
Thanks for replying. The phone does not boot into android, it gets stuck in 3e. I used the jig with the phone off. (I did try with it on just for kicks, but no joy.)
The phone "recoginizes" the power button when I try to turn it on, it gets to recovery, and then won't recognize a butten press in order to boot the rest of the way.
Thoughts?
Fixed it
Re-tried with a newly made jig. Must have blown a resister last time. Works now. Thanks for the advice.
I have this same issue intermittently, usually after a modem flash in cwm3. The txt will pop up saying that the back button has been disabled. A battery pull and restart and it reboots fine. Just a mystery to me...
Yeah that happens from time to time.try to Hold both volume buttons. That will sometimes re-enable the back button.
Ionno why that happens....
Some recoveries i've seen used back button or home button to select...just saying might work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
Yeah some recoveries not all, I know specifically in boog's kernels, you can use the capacitive buttons.
Settings = down
Home = up
Search = select
you have to cycle from the bottom to the top... i don't know why it does this..
Hit down repeatedly until you end at the top. the power button will work.
Hey guys, I certainly am not a rooting noob and will never be , but I rooted and flashed a friends captivate for him and ran into a problem.
I am not sure what exactly happened while it was in his possession, but he said he insterted a t-mo SIM and the device shutdown and would not go past the ATT screen.
I took the phone and messed around with it while reading the cappy forums and nothing worked. I could not get into recovery, but I could get into download mode. I then plugged it in again and found that adb was connected and so I then ran,
"adb reboot-bootloader"
suddenly the phone shut off and rebooted right into the normal load-up phase. Like WTF happened? I really do not want this to happen to him again, because he paid me like a hundred bucks for the phone and I would like it to work RIGHT.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
adb reboot recovery
captivate doenst have bootloader menu
or
Instructions for recovery mode:
have phone shut off
hold both volume buttons
press and hold power button
KEEP ALL 3 BUTTONS HELD for 3-5 seconds after screen comes on
after kernel bootscreen you will see clockwork recovery menu
if you already had the i9000 gingerbread bootloaders installed and skipped the steps in these instructions, the button combo would be different.
hold volume up then hold power
Yeah firstly, any button combination I tried did not work.
Also i understand there is no bootloader menu, but for some reason it pushed me out of that ATT screen and rebooted the phone and I had no clue what had happened.
Also, I am positive I ran "adb reboot-bootloader"
I finally found solution! Bootloader on my phone isn't nearly same as usual one, no white screen, just a few lines which designate modes. 4 are present:
-normal boot
-fastboot
-recovery
-UART boot
I accessed it by pressing and holding power button and volume up button at the same time during device boot.
I hope someone with a same problem will find this helpful!
I managed to boot to system but I still can't get in bootloader. No combos and neither adb works.
I got my HTC One from second hand several days ago and I instantly noticed that something wasn't right. System was naked, no bloatware, no usual settings, no proper identification so I decided to install custom rom. I tried to boot to bootloader which I wanted to unlock(I guessed it's locked 'cause recovery is stock) with key combos, adb but it simply didn't boot to bootloader nor it rebooted or sometimes it went to factory mode which is on chinese. Again, I tried to find which version of phone I own but I can't figure it out. Moreover, I downloaded and put stock rom on virtual sd card and booted to recovery, opened menu with power button and selected to install package from zip just like it's said in thread but it outputted 'Install /sdcard...' and nothing else for past couple hours. Recovery isn't frozen, It shows\hides menu when power button is pressed. I tried to force shut down it by holding only\in combination with power button\volume buttons but nothing happens. I don't know what else to do...
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: It eventually discharged but when I turn it on with charger in it I get blinking white screen on every 3 seconds and when long pressing power button phone just vibrates. In combination with volume down it keeps blinking on every 3 secs and with volume up on every 5 seconds. To me, it looks like it's trying to boot but bootloader can't find anything installed. Computer is recognizing usb device on the moments when I connect it with usb just like when device is rebooting.

You have a fake phone
I agree, you've probably got a counterfeit One, but you can't flash custom roms from stock recovery anyway.
Firstly, thank you for any answer. How do you mean 'fake'?! I got it in original box and IMEI's are same(on box and device) What can I do with it then?
I tried to flash stock rom designed for stock recovery, at least that's how I understood.
MIDN07100 (Europe, a guy from which I got device claimed that it's from England so this should fit)
IMEI:354436053103493(same on device and on box, checked with IMEI checker it appears as valid HTC One device)
Hopefully you all don't sigh or roll your eyes at my questions, I came from iOS 2 weeks ago and the Android learning curve is pretty damn steep!
Many guides I read says to enter recovery mode by turning the phone off, then holding volume down and power buttons until the screen flashes and you should enter right into recovery, especially guides to flash a rom. I installed TWRP last week and the way I enter it is hit restart with phone powered on and as the phone begins to restart hold volume down only, then I enter it.
When I hold power and volume down when the phone is shut off, I get the HTC boot image as the phone is rebooting and then a message saying something along the lines of the phone will reboot and it counts down 3,2,1 then the phone reboots a second time and not into recovery. Plus my wallpaper gets removed. I rebooted but the wallpaper was still removed.
Two questions; Is this some sort of faulty installation of my recovery? Which way should I boot into recovery when about to wipe and flash a rom? Thanks a million!
twrp quicker reboot...

way i do it is i unlock the screen hold power down to get the power options screen then i select reboot i wait for the screen to go blank then i hold the power and volume down it will load into bootloader then i just hit whatever boot loader has the recovery on it (twrp 2.5... had a problem wouldnt do system boot just take me back to recovery so i had to do to bootloader then restart from there) then you will hit recovery i would do a factory wipe but dont have it delete anything else just do a normal factory wipe and maybe delete cache and your problem should be fixed unless there is an issue with your rom you are using then if it bugs you that much find a different one.
another not when the system reboots i think you can just hit volume down dont have to hold power also but im so aggrivated with my current issue i just hold power also to make sure it goes thew.

*Update*
Ok so after trying again to enter bootloader from power off holding volume down and power button, the same thing happened where I got the 3 second countdown but I continued to hold the buttons and I correctly entered into bootloader. So my question then stands, when flashing a new rom does it matter which method I use? (Reboot, volume down or Power on, volume down/power)
Thanks
