Command + R doesn't do anything. My mbp just boots normally and I'm at the login screen. Holding down option brings up my two fushion drives and OS X base system.
I want to wipe my system and start fresh
Can't boot into recovery
I always make a USB thumb drive and keep it handy. I have 10.7 up too 10.11 just in case.
Download the 10.11 beta if you don't already have it and open the terminal and copy/paste the following (Either name your USB Thumb drive Untitled to match the line below or change the name to match your USB thumb drive):
sudo /Applications/OS\ X\ 10.11\ Developer\ Beta.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/OS\ X\ 10.11\ Developer\ Beta.app --nointeractionAfter its created then hold option key down on startup and choose the thumb drive to boot from. Choose disk utillity to format the drive and then do a fresh install of OS X. (If you format make sure you have your files backed up.)
Seems the same issue with 10.11 as there was with 10.10
The Recovery partition is hidden by default. Once you have created a drive to boot from you can go into
recovery and Run these 2 commands in a terminal.
diskutil cs list
and then
diskutil coreStorage revert lvUUID
where lvUUID is the last lvUUID reported by the previous Terminal command.
Then restart for everything to get back to normal after you have run these commands in Terminal.
Then also the recovery partition will show up again in the startup manager when you boot up with the option key.
