I've been reading these forums for a while but this is my first post so please excuse me for noob mistakes. I am pretty much a noob to hacking though I did manage somehow to get Cyanogenmod 7 installed and running on my ancient Motorola Backflip so I am not completely a greenhorn.
I rooted my KF 9.5 a few days ago using KFU with no problems, installing TWRP recovery. All was well and I could reboot to recovery when I saw the triangle by tapping on the power key.
After yesterday's 6.3.1 update I lost root and restored it with KFU by flashing TWRP and I have root again, confirmed by being granted superuser permissions on a few apps I have that need them, like File Expert with root explorer.
When I boot my KF I see a Kindle Fire and a little green Android guy but no triangle like I saw the first time I rooted with KFU. I hold down the power button until it turns orange like I did before when I got the triangle and then my KF boots right to the normal KF boot screen. I've tried tapping on the power button and holding it down until it turns orange but I can't get into recovery mode.
Note that I also flashed firefirefire, which I did not do the first time I rooted. Is there any particular order to use in KFU to flash fff and TWRP that might have caused this problem?
Connect your KF to your PC.
Change boot mode to Recovery in KFU.
Reboot your KF (hold 20 secs).
If that won't work, you need to reflash TWRP in KFU, and try again.
Thanks very much.
First thing I am going to do now, having read a lot here, is backup in recovery just in case I screw up anything else.

Hello,
I rooted my phone with no issues. Then when preparing to get TWRP on my phone I was setting up ADB via this tutorial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XslKnEE4Qo8
and got the phone to be recognized as device in the cmd window, but when doing the adb reboot bootloader step, the phone just reboots to vzw logo and then the home screen. After being stuck at that step I tried this method http://androidfannetwork.com/2013/09/18/twrp-recovery-available-for-lg-g2-att-and-verizon/ using flashify but after flashing and hitting the reboot button my phone wouldn't turn on and thought I bricked it until I waited a few and then had to hold the power button down for 15 seconds and it turned on. But now I can't get to the white screen reset menu (Stock recovery menu?) using the power+vol down method. Is my stock recovery borked? Any tips on how to get twrp on my phone, hoping it installs over the broken stock recovery. Thanks in advance for reading this.
I've tried a few methods of getting recovery back but so far have failed. I always end up with that droid and a red warning triangle, which if left long enough it will boot into android on its own.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what "few methods"?
I got it cleared up. Admins feel free to delete this thread. Thank you.
I'm actually having this issue as well, I'm curious what you did to solve it?
I flash twrp with fastboot and get the red triangle when I attempt to boot into recovery. However from fastboot if I do the boot recovery.img command, twrp will boot up and run fine, but I cannot boot back into recovery straight from the bootloader, without booting from fastboot.
When you get the Triangle press power then volume up.
Am I holding down the buttons until it reboots? Or just pressing the combo once?
I'm not sure what the true issue was in my case. I downloaded another copy of twrp, flashed it and everything worked out. Bad cable or corrupt file maybe. I'm not sure.
Hey there.
I've really f*cked up the Huawei P8 Lite of a friend, when trying to root it with CWM and Supersu package.
He once tried it himself, but that ended up with a new paperweight and he got a new one from the seller.
The old one could boot to TWRP, but ended up with a bootloop when trying to install supersu.
The new one can't even get into TWRP or CWM! Yes, both devices were OEM-Unlocked.
The new one shows a blank screen right after booting to recovery, but i was able to get to system and fastboot.
But after installing CWM (because TWRP didn't work either) it just goes blank after oem logo and adb tells me it is in recovery mode!
Code:
C:\Windowws\System32>adb devices
List of devices attached
W3D7N------------- recovery
So every time i try to power the phone on, it boots straight to recovery and same outcome on adb.
It is possible to reboot it with adb in recovery but it does nothing. Just goes to recovery.
Cant get into fastboot either. Adb on system not possible and key combination (tried VolUp+PWR VolDown+PWR and VolUp+VolDown+PWR).
I don't know..
Have i made a second brick? Am I screwed?
Because i don't know if the seller will give my friend a new one AGAIN...
Have i f*cked up?
Please Help!
UPDATE:
I played a bit around with the adb/recovery and i rebooted it somehow into a mysterious mode...
It showed up as "Red is the Red" in chinese symbols in the device manager..
That is quite mysterious and a lil bit scary... I wasnt able to do anything, tried drivers but no response in fastboot/adb
UPDATE II:
THANK GOD!!!
I somehow got it right with adb reboot bootloader!
You don't know how glad i am
So i would say: SOLVED!
How did you get it back to fastboot?

I just kept trying with manual reboot and adb reboot and eventually it worked. :victory:
Hey guys and gals, I decided to take my new PH-1 and root it after getting the latest OTA (this is an unlocked Sprint variant). I flashed the twrp for my build and there was an error, tried it again and the same error so I rebooted back into fastboot and it flashed but I didn't reboot into recovery. Flashed it again and booted into recovery but it was just a black screen as if the phone wasn't turned on. The closest I've gotten to recovery was the android laying down and it said "no command" but I forced a reboot at that point (I think I could have pressed up on the volume and pressed the power button to get to it from there but I haven't been able to get back to it).
I ended up flashing a modded boot image for root with Magisk 14.3 and that worked but I can't reboot my phone, it just goes to the blank screen like it isn't on and I can start it up again by holding the power button down for 15 sec. and it seems to function fine but I can't flash the OTA file to go back to complete stock or to go to the Oreo beta.
If anyone could give me some insight into this problem or a way of fixing it I would grateful, thank you.
Hi Everyone,
I originally flashed LineageOS and it wirked beautifully. Then I thought I wanted root.... After trying some things that didn't work I flashed my tablet back to stock to get it working again and then attempted to reinstall LineageOS cleanly. But now, after flashing the recovery with Heimdall, when I power off with Vol-down and Power and immediately switch back to Vol-up and power, the regular warning screen shows up with the standard message: "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked and it's software integrity can't be verified..." Then the same screen with a yellow warning triangle
added and below that another warning triangle and in Red "This tablet is not running Samsung's official software" and you will have problems...
After this screen appears the tablet freezes and becomes unresponsive to all but the Power and vol-down shutdown. It then reboots and freezes again.
I can get back to Download mode and reflash the stock with Odin but loading the lineage recovery seems impossible.
I can get to the stock recovery with adb reboot recovery
Is there some way to bypass what looks like a security measure? Does someone know more about this?
In the stock recovery is has the option to enter fastboot. Is this a real fastboot, as in I could load a recovery straight from my computer?
Not sure how to get back to LineageOS, or what my next step should be.
Thanks in advance,
Murphy
Update: I got it working again and reinstalled LineageOS
What worked was using Asomeslayerg's Guide to Unlocking and Rooting the S6 Lite with updated instructions in the comments from gbeyts667. Thanks to those fine souls!
It seems some combination of using an older version of the stock image (I used the one from the guide from around last year) and patching with magisk re-enabled my ability to enter recovery mode after flashing the lineage recovery.
I hope this helps someone else.
Has anyone used magisk to root LineageOS on the S6 lite? Does it work? Can you just use the lineage recovery for that?
Would love to know! Thanks in advance.
