After rooting the phone(Z00AD), using the one click root method, I am not able to boot into recovery mode.
The bootloader is not unlocked. If I go to the fastboot menu and select the recovery the phone reboots back to fastboot menu.
Also if I try to hard reset it just boots to the fastboot menu.
If anyone could help I will be very grateful.

I am not able to.
I can boot into recovery from the system menu, and I can boot into it from within apps...but not from within the bootloader.
In order to get to the recovery if I'm stuck i need to reflash (and boot) the recovery from fastboot

I don't know about recovery by boot loader, but I believe the command to get into recovery is adb reboot recovery. You might have to use it from fast boot too
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
plug in via usb while in the bootloader, then press recovery. you should be able to get in then. its a bug that some are experiencing.
If you are not near a computer... there's an app for that.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
allows you to boot directly to Recovery, bootloader etc... without an attached computer.
You can also use a terminal and do it from within the device, but this is just a simple button that works.

I had the same issue with my recovery. Everytime I tried to get into recovery via fastboot it was just showing the nexus logo and then freezing on that. I flashed CWM and now that was the only way I could get into it.
there are too many apps that do it. plus you can type reboot recovery in the terminal emulator.

Yes--thank you everyone...I am already aware of the many ways to get into recovery.
The issue is getting into recovery in a situation where you can't fully boot into android (boot loop, etc...)
In such cases, it is really nice to be able to select recovery from the bootloader.
However, right now I need to be near a computer so I can flash the recovery all over again
Need help here!
My Nexus 10 was with stock 4.4.4, rooted with TWRP. I decided to flash the factory image files by removing the -w in flash-all.sh. However it ended up with being stuck with the rotating balls. After about 45 minutes, I decided to go to the fastboot mode (pwr+both volumes), then select recovery (I planned to do factory reset and clear cache). After trying to reboot into recovery mode (pwr + one volume button), it now shows an open bootloader with following message below the bootloader (the bootloader seems still unlocked):
Dowloading...
Do not turn off target!!
What does it mean? What is it exactly downloading? And what should I do? Should I lock the bootloader? Also it does not respond now if I push the volume buttons. It's not recognized on my Mac with the with the following command:
fastboot devices
I also notice the following line:
Reboot Mode Flag: NONE
Now I just booted into recovery, but it shows the bootloader with the exclamation mark! After a few minutes, it automatically switched to the never-ending rotating balls. What can I do?
When you get the Downloading...message you're in the Recovery screen. Don't worry about the message. Press vol up and power to get into the recovery menu - there you can wipe cache and system. As you're in recovery, Fastboot devices will not recognise your tablet, only adb commands.
If I was you and this didn't work, I'd just reboot into fastboot and flash the image files manually. You'll lose root, data and twrp but these can easily be gotten back through fastboot.

I tried to install TWRP using the method for unrooted phones posted on the TWRP website. After I did this when I tried to boot into recovery all I get is "Fastboot Mode!!!" in the upper left of my screen and I can't power my phone off with the power button, I have to take the battery out. My phone is a ze551kl. Has anyone else had this problem. I later rooted the phone and installed TWRP but now TWRP can't create a backup
You're doing something wrong. You booted into fastboot not recovery. I believe it's volume down for recovery and volume up for fastboot.
Thanks

Thanks Hamp that solved one of my problems. TWRP installed and made a backup for me. I still have a problem with the "Fastboot Mode !!!" though. If I press reboot in TWRP and select bootloader it does the same as before. Any one have any suggestions as to what I can try now? I'm not very tech savy and this might be a silly question but would it be possible to reflash the bootloader to stock? If so where could I find one. Is the bootloader included in the stock rom?
I have huawei p8 lite dual sim android 6 marshallow and i tried all tools to root it but failed.Finally i tried to install twrp.I unlock the bootloader and with adb i wrote adb reboot bootloader,fastboot devices,fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and fastboot reboot but twrp didn't saved.When i boot to recovery the stock recovery was still there..What i have to do?

Did fastboot gave some error message, also did you only test to go to recovery straight from fastboot, because that is other recovery which can't be changed.

Just to make sure because the recovery stuff with this device can be at start a bit confusing. Please check does the recovery you boot into have factory reset option in it.
Also can you give a link for the twrp you flashed?

I tried a lot of versions of twrp from forum here for p8 lite.Today i tried 3.0.2.I cant select factory reset because the phone crashed because the bootloader is unlocked i think.But if you think that the phone has to be in factory reset i will relock bootloader.Another question.If i downgrade firmware to android 5.0 tools such king root will be success?I have firmware from my county greece.If i choose android 5 firmware from other country i will have problem?

1. Booloader unlocking only affects to what you can flash in fastboot, it doesn't affect stock recovery funtionality.
I asked about factory reset option, because I wanted to make sure you aren't booting to "recovery2/eRecovery". (It doesn't have factory reset option)
2. Avoid using kingoroot and other oneclick root apps if it is possible.
3. Your firmware version doesn't matter.
4. Bootloader unlocking can't cause crash. Locked bootloader could cause crash if system is modified(I think), but you would still be able to get recovery.
One way to make sure you boot to normal recovery is to connect your phone to pc --> open command line --> type "adb reboot recovery". This won't take you to erecovery
I can't do any better help with the current information.
After you successfully flash the recovery with fastboot (always use the latest!) You need to do these things in order (and fast) in order to but to TWRP. If you don't it will boot to stock recovery and you have to fastboot flash again.
You must
a) write fastboot reboot in the console but don't pass Enter!!
b) hold VOLUME UP
c) (still holding VOL UP) presss Enter and remove the USB cable immediately once it says your device is booting now.
Keep holding VOL UP until you boot to TWRP. Allow modifications.
For root you will flash Magisk (you know, normal zip), which a) is open source, so no sneaky stuff and b) can hide root from apps as a bonus. You can always get the zip here: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
Important: If you have other root solutions install them for example SuperSU has an uninstall option. Then flash Magisk

The recovery you go from fastboot is eRecovery. You can't boot to stock or TWRP recovery directly from fastboot. If you choose shutdown from eRecovery then you can just go to TWRP with normal way (power + VOL UP). Going to eRecovery doesn't undo TWRP installation. (This also means you can do force update even with TWRP installed, I think, not 100% sure)

I do this every time. See surdu's post here. Fastboot reboo is just a reboot, so the familiar key combo will boot to recovery.

I just wanted to point out that you don't need to re-flash if you happen to only press vol up in fastboot.
Hello,
Can anyone assist me in fixing my issue? My phone couldn't boot to recovery mode, i see the TWRP bluescreen and it immediately enters the boot loop. I can boot to fastboot&rescue mode but adb is not detecting my devices. I tried reinstalling the driver and also restart the adb server, but no luck. Tried different USB ports \cable\laptop, but no luck.
Need some assistance or direction to address this issue.
Regards

adb does not work in the bootloader (Fastboot mode)
in bootloader use
fastboot boot twrp.img
just be sure twrp has the correct name and is in the same folder as adb / fastboot
@sri1225,
Adding to clsA post:
If the phone is in fastboot mode, "fastboot devices" should work to confirm PC connection is good and produces a similar response as "adb devices" does when in adb mode.
What led up to the phone getting broken? You said it's bricked - so it won't boot up to normal operating mode?

I tried to flash with the B180+Stock+Rom, after that I cannot go back to TWRP or in recovery mode.
When I do the "fastboot boot twrp.img", in the fastboot&rescue mode, the phone reboots to twrp screen and goes back to the boot loop again. I have tried both the twrp images available in the forum for this device.

The B180 stock rom replaces TWRP with stock recovery
If you want TWRP again flash it from the bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
when you enter TWRP
goto Wipe/Format Data/ and type yes
now you can root the phone or leave it as is
Fwiw, the 'boot' command only boots twrp, it doesn't flash it. Thats useful for testing that twrp works. The proper command to flash is immediately above this post. Take it from me - always test first. If it boots, it works.

Try the command 'fastboot devices', what does it output..? Are you sure you are in fastboot mode, with the screen and the Android with its chest popped open..?
