Hello. I have a razr I and decided to unlock the bootloader. I tried the button combination power + volume down several times, but the phone just powers up normally (actually rhe screen flashes for a second, but doesn't go into fastboot mode. I trided using adb reboot fastboot but the device just reboots. What can I do about it?
NVM, just did it by fastboot reboot bootloader...
Ok, one more thing. It seems my device ignores the key combo, but I was still able to get into fastboot mode by using adb. However, I have tried to flash a custom recovery with no success.
I tred using the supplied installer and after rebooting I get to the open robot screen with the red exclamation mark. Then, after holding some keys (not sure if power or power + volume down I get into recovery, but it's still the stock android recovery. Then I tried flashing the recovery image from fastboot mode. It sait the recovery was flashed, but still cannot boot into recovery. What's wrong with my phone?

Just incase you need to do it in the future:
Hold volume down, then hold the power button. When it begins to vibrate release the power button and keep the volume down button pressed until you get into fastboot.

Alright. So how about the never appearing CWM recovery?
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?

That is not helpful at all. I know how to boot to boot menu. I cannot enter recovery mode!

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?

My moto g is having the same problem, let me try the method you mentioned down here

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

Press volume up for 10 seconds and then just tap power button once and release both
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.
So the kids changed the password on the tablet so I cannot unlock it. The tab is not rooted. If I try to boot holding power and volume up nothing happens. It just boots normally.
I tried putting the latest firmware on the SD and booting but nothing happens. Just boots normally.
Do I have any options here?
Thanks a bunch.
Hey there! Try to boot pressing volume down and power or middle volume and power. It should get you in recovery and you should be able to reset from there. You should see an android with an exclamation mark, then press volume down to get in recovery.

Seems any key combination I try does not work. Power+Volume up, Power+ Volume down, Power+middle/both
It just always boots normally.
And if I try to user adb to reboot into recovery it tells me to check my device to give it authorization which I cannot do since I can't unlock it.
I flash via ODIN - it says PASS. I reboot using power and up. I remove the power button as soon as it flashes black, but it keeps going back into my ROM and not recovery. I've tried all combinations. Any suggestions?
Maybe you are releasing the power button too early.
The boot loader must boot with the button combination pressed.
Hi.
I am running stock 5.1. Phone is unlocked according to recovery - it states "unocked status 3". When I try to flash TWRP it does not stick. When I press volume down to choose reboot recovery it just turns off. When I try volume down and power to boot it comes back with an android on it's back saying no command.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
I sorted it.
I was pressing the power button instead of volume up when trying to choose boot recovery after twrp flash.
