[Q] How to access the recovery menu on Lollipop? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been using the soak test rom for XT1097 brazilian Moto X since yesterday.
Everything is running ok on the device, but I cannot access the recovery menu.
Does anyone can help me?
Thank you!

Once you get to recovery with no menu "tap the volume up and power button together".

After the first menu, where I select "Recovery", the screen shows me an opened android.
When I had Kit Kat on the device I used to push volume up for 10 seconds and then tap the unlocker button to access the recovery menu.
I've tried many ways and I'm not having any success, even with the advice above.

Took me forever last night to get into recovery menu too. Here is what works for me on lollipop. Hold power for 2-3 seconds and tap volume up.

if u guys just like to get the phone back to work, it would be the best to just flash a new ROM via ODIN. After that, the phone boots normally.
But I dont know if this is an option!
Hope u are still able to get the phone to downloadmode via 3-Button-Combo?!

Home button isn't working -> no 3 button combo
try using a jig to get it in download mode and flash a stock rom
In recovery mode, you also can boot system with power-button.

[Q] Cannot enter recovery mode of Moto G

Hi guys,
I just unlocked my phone and tried entering recovery mode, but it won't work, it just boots normal.
Pressing 3 sec VolDown + Power
Pressing VolDown, then VolUp.
Android Logo appears and after a few seconds phone boots just normal.
Tried it now a thousand times.
Any suggestions?

Ohhh srry flash stock recovery
I have a slightly different problem, I try to get into Recovery but in Recovery no options show up at all, all I see is the Android robot laying down with the '!' mark, with no options, sometimes it also says 'No command' with the Android.
Boot menu before you select Recovery works fine. (I'm completely stock)

Similar issue here: I unloacked the bootloader, and can't enter recovery mode of the stock Motorola recovery. Recovery mode stops with same picture as described above, robot lying on it's back. Does Motorola prevent loading the stock recovery when the phone is unlocked? I did not try to enter recovery with locked phone by the way, so can't tell if stock recovery didn't work in the first place.
Hi
That's the correct behaviour. Press volume UP+power, release power then volume UP, that v then shows the menu in recovery
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app
Finally I found correct way to do that
To be clear I will start from beginning
1. Power off device
2. Press Volume DOWN + Power buttons for 3 to 5 sec then release Volume DOWN and then Power
3. Now select Recovery. Android with /!\ will be shown.
[Lollipop]
4. Press Power and while pressing it tap Volume Up
[KitKat]
4. Press Volume UP for 5 sec while pressing Volume UP press Power button.
(don't release Volume UP before pressing Power)
You are now in stock Recovery

Thanks, for the explanation! Only remaining odd thing: my device reboots to system OS instead of recovery when selecting recovery in the bootloader. I'm only able to go into recovery by:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
I have the same exact problem where I could not go to recovery mode.
When in fastboot screen, I select Recovery by pressing volume up button and instead of phone going to recovery mode, my phone restarts to lands to lock screen.
When you say that you are able to go to recovery by -
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
What does it mean?
Which directory I have to be in to execute this command?

It is really odd though that you have to follow steps which are not mentioned in fastboot mode to get to the recovery mode.

My phone won't go past the android with ! in a triangle. I have tried pressing the up button for 15 secs and then the power button but nothing happens.
I have a Consumer Cellular XT1064 with unlocked bootloader which I flashed to retail Rom. Then I was able to go to stock recovery normally with pressing up 15sec and power, and manually flash the 5.0 OTA update. Now a few weeks later when I want to flash the second OTA update, I can't go into recovery.
Any help please.

I've been having this issue too. Can someone post the recovery.img for the latest stock recovery? I want to try and flash it and see if I can get into recovery then.
The key combination to enter recovery at the distressed android screen has changed for Lollipop!
Hold the power button for a few secs and tap the up key!
Hit thanks if this helped

Worked on the first attempt. This is the correct key combination in the Android 5.0 build.

[Q] 5.0 OTA, and other stuff.Fastboot

Hi everyone,
I was so glad to received 5.0 OTA yesterday, and install it immediately (version 22.21.11 after updated). But I experienced a lot of problems, so I went to Moto and they tell me to perform a partition wipe. Here is the thing, after I follow their operation tips, my phone won't show me the secret menu, so I can't perform partition wipe, and my phone just keep doing some weird things like killing the background apps. Most frustrating thing is that I cannot even launch the camera using the magic twisting gesture!
Anyone can get into the secret menu under the recovery mode? I don't want to unlock my bootloader yet. Thx
update: after google for a while, there is a new way to find the secret menu according to shamelin73

What do you mean " secret menu?"
The recovery list?

yeah! the menu to let me do the partition wipe... I press Vol UP key for several seconds and press power key, nothing happened.
When I boot into fastboot I use vol. Up+Down and power for 3-5 seconds.

Get to your boatloader first, select the recovery tab. Once the android comes up with "no command"
Push the power button first, while doing that, press the volume up.
That'll put you into recovery.
(You don't have to hold the power button for a few seconds...it just has to be pushed first)

Nope. I have the same situation and am stuck with the test mode screen when attempt to boot the system. Recovery works fine. Tried the hold both volume buttons and plug into PC, and now have tried this. Always the same screen, nothing about selecting English, just the option to access the Options Menu. Selecting Fastboot takes me to menu where Ican select Recovery, Startup, AND "Boot to FFBM". Have wiped all but internal SD, and "Repaired" System, Persist, Cache. Have tried installing an official ROM and Lineage ROM. No combinations of these have fixed the problem.
Problem started when I was updating the official ROM and decided to try out the FFBM boot option. BIG mistake.
Now am stuck with a system that will no longer boot.

UPDATE: TWRP 3.0.3-0 saved my ass. It permits selection of booting into EDL (9008) mode, bypassed all the PC based commands that weren't working, and I reloaded Zuk factory ROM again. Got past the test mode screen finally. Discovered that I don't care for the original ROM at all, too many Google things I'm accustomed to (Like Google Play store) missing. Added a few things back in, but wasn't worth the trouble. It took me about 15 minutes to refla sh it using TWRP with the latest nightly version of the Mokee ROM for this device (Android 7.1.2) and it works GREAT. Lineage wasn't ready yet.
The only hold over from all my initial problems is that upon boot it acts of if I'm doing the up Vol button action. It goes to the screen where I can press a Vol button and go into the boot loader or just wait 5 seconds for it to carry on booting normally. I don't know how to correct this, but not really a problem.
