[Q] No Recovery after Bootloader Unlock?(!) - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok so i used TowelRoot to root the phone, then the Motopacolypse apk to unlock bootloader. Root is fine, and iget the "unlocked bootloader warning" screen everytime i turn on my phone. next step would be to install recovery so i can flash ROMs right? downloaded ROM manager, dled and installed CWM, but i cant restart into recovery. i used ROM Managers option, and i just a normal boot. I try holding down the power + volume down button, and i still get a normal boot. any clue on whats going on?

Give holding power and both + - volume controls all at once to boot into the boot loader. From there press - to select recovery option and press + to go into recovery. That should get you there if the recovery indeed flashed.

nice one! im still getting a normal boot, how do i install custom recovery?

The recovery you flashed isn't compatible with the M more the likely... Try these ...twrp for KitKat second from the bottom.... Try flashing the recovery with rashr ... Give me a second I'll find CWM

TWR is the only one that (finally) worked for me. THANKS

TWRP and CWM are not official for this phone, that's why you can't load them up through ROM Manager. Either way, nice to see you have it working now.

i just flashed TWRP successfully using Flashify (plya store) and TWRP 2710 for razrM from Dhacker.
total time to download install and flash - about 2 minutes

ROOTED 4.2.2 won't boot recovery

Just rooted my N7 on 4.2.2 but can't boot into recovery. I just get the "no command" screen. I flashed twrp with the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything seemed to go fine but I can't boot into recovery. Is there another way to flash a custom recover?
Thanks!

you probably booted, not flashed the recovery. fastboot flash it via fastboot with the instructions above. or, to make it even easier, download the goo manager app. you can flash twrp recovery with the app. open the app, press the settings option, press install openrecoveryscript, press yes, then let it do its thing.

Read the download instructions at the bottom. Have you done that step?
The stock recovery will be restored on boot otherwise. It's the same procedure for any recovery (CWM) not just TWRP.

You still need to flash recovery after you rooted. so download a custom recovery and flash it or use goomanager and use the install openrecovery script option to install twrp
Use odin to flash philz touch recovery

Why can't I boot into custom recovery?

I'm running CM 10.2 and every time I try and boot into recovery, it boots into stock recovery instead of CWM. I've tried booting into it using the menu when you hold the power button and then I've tried holding power+volume down on restart and every time it just goes stock.
Any help/opinions are much appreciated.

Turn off your device, hold all three buttons until you see a menu pop up. Select Recovery and you should get CWM.

Every time I go into recovery, it sends me to the Android with the exclamation point, then I get to stock recovery. Even with the three button.
Looks like you need to flash your recovery again

Yep, and after flash is complete, power-off your phone and boot straight into recovery. There's an install script that needs to complete. If you don't boot straight into CWM, stock recovery will override CWM.
I didn't do that last time, that must be why I can't get there now. Thanks for the heads up!

Well I ran into the same problem where I just get dead Andy. I flashed TWRP from fastboot but for the life of me can't remember how to boot into recovery from there.
Edit
I literally looked for over an hour about how to get into recovery before I posted. Well I found the answer almost immediately after posting, power/Vol+.
So I flashed my recovery again through fastboot, powered up using power/Vol + but still can't get into recovery.
Are you on stock ROM? You may have to remove or rename the recovery install file install-recovery.sh after flashing TWRP... Located in system>etc on stock

Thanks anyway, but after trying to flash with Flashify and that not working I tried an app called recovery tools that fixed my issue.

You could have just installed Rom Manager & flashed the Photon Q recovery then flashed Philz or the latest twrp they are in my goodies.
Oh... I always fast boot the recovery...

That message is totally normal, are you using volume up + home + power button when you're trying to get into recovery?

[Q] i can't use cwm with my l5 610

Hi,
I have, root, unlock bootloader and cwm but i have 2 problem before install any ROM (i m on 4.0.3 stock)
I cannot access cwm with volume- and power menu (it starts normally). If i use terminal with cmd "reboot recovery" it goes.
If i try to backup from cwm i have an error when it try to save system
i followed the guide but i think that the cwm attached was too old. Now i have put 6028 andò seems to be OK.
I still have problem in boot in cwm
Thank's

Hello chickygamon,
I can't access cwm too, but for another reasons. I hoped your threat could help me.
Well, my try, I understand you are trying to access cwm only pressing two bottoms, aren't you? If you want to access cwm through harwdware buttons you should to press three buttons: Power [on/off] mobile, volume- and "menu" button. (You can look up "boot into cwm recovery lg optimus l5" at youtube and see it.)
You are fortunate in accessing cwm from terminal, I can't.
About your backup, It's difficult for us to help you if we don't know what it is the error message. Please tell us what cwm says.
Regards

Hi Nesh89,
Have you tried that version for our model? Does it work fine?
I did the same than chickygamon, installed the last version (6.0.2.8) that was on clockworkmod web for our mobile model. I've had problems booting cwm too. I'd like to flash other cwm if I fix my bricked mobile.
Thanks
