This is normal. Hold power and press volume up once when that screen appears to enter recovery.

Ahh good to know. I had no idea it was normal as I've never seen the nexus 6 stock recovery screen. I expected to see an android guy on his back but not the red exclamation point in the box. Thank you again!

Push the Volume Up key followed by the Power button to enter into the HTC Recovery.

Booting into stock recovery?

I've been trying to boot into the stock recovery on my phone, primarily to wipe the cache, and it won't do anything. Just seems to boot into a black screen, then an image of the phone with a red triangle and an upside down exclamation mark shows up.
Is this normal?
My phone is completely untouched. Not been rooted unlocked or S-Off.
Is it that you aren't meant to go into recovery on completely stock firmware?

Its essentially a two step process to get there. Once you get to that red triangle, hold UP + POWER until you enter recovery, it'll be a black screen with blue writing.

Thanks for replying.
I tried that. Waited for the image of the phone and the triangle etc. Then pressed volume up and power, and it just rebooted the phone. Kept holding, and it turned the phone off.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Well its a little tricky, if you hold it too long it reboots..hold them for a few seconds and when the capacitives flash about three times let the buttons go

Thanks very much mate. That worked. Held them for 5 flashes of the home and back buttons.
You definitely couldn't find that by accident. Haha.

VZW DE - fastboot flashed stock recovery, now red triangle

VZW DE 4.4
Unlocked
TWRP
Rooted
Used fastboot to flash recovery.img from the official Moto file MOTXT1060DEV_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_1FF-CID2.xml
When I tell the phone to boot into recovery I get the android guy on his side with the red triangle. I can still hold the power button to reboot into the phone and it works fine. However any time I try to go into recovery it's back to the red triangle. I have tried wiping cache via adb as well.
I searched google and the forums and am still stuck.
I believe with stock recovery you have to press power + volume up for a moment, then release them simultaneously and it bypasses the red triangle.
Been a while since I have owned a non-Nexus... not sure if that is a Nexus-only thing.

i didn't stay on stock recovery for long, but I dont remember that.
In either case while looking at the android guy on his side with the red triangle neither power+dwn or power+up do anything. If I hold it too long eventually the phone restarts.
/edit
Ah ha! You are a genius. Power + both volume buttons worked (or I have fat fingers)!
Since I *assumed* something was jacked up I didn't search for "how to enter recovery when everything is working right" my bad
thanks!!!!!!!

You enter bootloader mode by pressing Volume Down + Power, holding for about 3 seconds and then releasing.
Then you boot into recovery by pressing Volume Down to highlight Recovery and then Volume Up to select Recovery.

Yep. It was being in stock recovery and seeing the sideways android with the red triangle that was confusing me. I didn't realize another key combination was required to get past that.

I think that's Google saying: if you're here, it'd better damn well be deliberately!

Ah, yes, you do need to do more to get into stock recovery. I didn't realize it myself since I have mostly been using my Dev Ed in custom recovery.

[Q] SOLVED. Stuck on boot screen with no way out

I'm stuck at the white boot screen with the green htc logo, the red dev text, and the word android on top of the red text.
I just unrooted and went back to stock using the latest ruu.
I'm unlocked and s-off.
I wanted to put on a recovery for it but when I did, the red text about the build being for dev purposes showed up.
I thought flashing the stock boot img would fix that.
It didn't. I can't reboot out, turn off the phone, get to bootloader or recovery, or anything.
Adb and fastboot can't see the phone is connected cause it's at the boot screen.
I tried holding Vol Up and Power for a minute and then tried shining a light on the front camera for a couple of minutes.
Is there any hope to fix this?

the red text is normal after flashing a custom recovery, the other stuff might be you flashed the wrong recovery for your phone, I don't know what phone you have or what recovery you flashed, if it's a sprint phone it should be for m7wls.did you flash superuser after the recovery.to gain root

I have a sprint htc one m7. I flashed philz for this phone and it worked fine. So the problem was that I flashed the stock boot image on fastboot and for some reason, it got stuck on the boot screen when I tried booting in and I don't have a way of getting out of that boot screen. So far, i'm thinking that I might have to wait for the phone to run out of power and die so it can be off then charge it up and see if I can get into bootloader. But I was hoping there would be another way of getting out of boot screen.

hold power down and the captive lights should blink when they stop simultaneously hold volume down should get you to bootloader.

Interesting, I never heard of that. So I hold down power and watch the lights blink until they're done, then hold volume down?

try putting it under a bright light when they are flashing.

I used the flashlight from my other phone on it but it blinks as long as I hold it down, it doesn't seem to stop. And no, the screen doesn't turn off, it's still the same boot screen.
EDIT- It probably was the damn light lol. I happened to plug in the One to the charger and there was a lamp next to it, so I put it under that and held the power and volume down key and the screen went dark and booted into fastboot and I smiled greatly Thank you! Now the beginning starts.

I didn't either till that blessed lamp came into my sights. I thought I had to pull the plug. But nah, life's way better. So I don't know how to get back the previous boot image i had before i flashed this one.

Nah. To the boot image version before the one I flashed. But I just ended up running the ruu again and it set up everything. So i'm saved now. Thanks for your help.

Cannot flash recovery

I absolutely cannot get a recovery to flash. I was running 5.1.1, unencrypted, rooted, twrp, etc. Went to flash the new 3rd M preview and kept getting an error on boot about the phone being corrupt or something. It would still boot and work fine and everything, just had the warning on boot. Tried booting into recovery and I got the alien with exclamation point above it (won't boot into recovery, it doesn't seem to exist). I've tried manually flashing both stock recovery, twrp, whole OTA files from both 5.1.1 and 6... pretty much everything I can think of. It's like the recovery partition just isn't taking the file when it is pushed. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
When you booted into recovery and got to the screen where you saw the android with the exclamation point above it, you did press power+volume up correct?

I pressed vol down + power to boot into the bootloader, then volume up to recovery, then power to go into recovery. Same thing, just a longer way, right?

When you get to the screen with the android with the exclamation point above it, press power and volume up at the same time. That will let you access stock recovery.

Doesn't do anything. Just stays on the screen with the small android lying down with the exclamation mark.
Edit: After trying repeatedly, that worked, not sure what I was doing wrong. Thanks for the help. At least I know it's not completely broken lol.

I'm having the same issue except my phone doesn't power up. I'm able to get into recovery and into the bootloader but I can't flash anything since my device is not being read by my computer. Any suggestions?

Please give full details of your issue, your OS on your computer, the files you are trying to flash and your steps already tried. Screenshots also help.

I think the sequence should be to hold the power button and press and release the vol up then release pwr from the android on his back.
