It's very strange - I can't get to recovery by holding down power + vol-up + home buttons. The message comes up that it's booting recovery but then disappears for a second and then either powers off or boots normally.
I can boot into recovery through the toolkit/odin/goomanager however and I've also found that I can boot into recovery if I first go into download mode, press vol-down to cancel download and boot normally and then immediately press the vol-up/power/home button combination.
I have TWRP installed but I previously had philz CWM and this problem happened with both. If i remember rightly the first recovery I tried to install was the original CWM with odin but when I booted into recovery it was still the stock recovery. I'm not sure if this information is necessary though.
Can anyone help me with this or why this could be happening?

When was the last time you updated SuperSU?
Go to the playstore and download/install the latest version reboot the phone normally and after reboot reboot into recovery.
Good luck!
Thanks, that worked. I can now get into recovery with the button combo.

Hi guys, I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed CWM from:http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, I've flashed and didn't get any errors, boot to Android and did "adb reboot recovery", I get in a screen with the android with a red triangle, stayed for some mins and nothing, I turned off and boot to Android, turned off again and turn on by Power + Vol -, Select Recovery and samething...
obs: I used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 and downloaded this SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
How can I boot to recovery?
Another thing does SuperSU v1.51 works on Android 4.3?
Thanks
The screen with just a red triangle is stock recovery. Press and hold power and press volume up and you should get the stock recovery menu.
Try flashing CWM from fastboot manually as it's not taking with ROM Manager (which I don't rate anyway)

My device is rooted. I tried installing clockwork but no image for my device. I tried installing TWRP but nothing happens when I reboot. I can't reboot into clockwork recovery mode or TWRP. Both immediately reboot to the LG screen after 1 second of the android. What am I doing wrong?
Hey,
Try this if the recovery is really installed (FOR SURE IF RECOVERY IS INSTALLED):
Shut down the phone and Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
If not then

Hit thanks if this helped you.
are u using stock rom with root?
if so then the reboot option will always only reboot the phone, not reboot to recovery of choice.
try third party app that has option to reboot to recovery like Goo Manager :good:

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584938 I had the same problem and I found the flashify method to be the quickest and easiest
I tried mobile odin to re flash my already rooted and cyanogen'd note 3 back to a root ed stock rom,
After hitting the go button it reset and now will only reset into reboot recovery mode.
I have since tried odin connected to a pc and this shows it as added so I think it is connected ok, I have a rom and that shows up as fine and when I click start it reports the SetuConnection message and just sits there.
The problem I have is that it won't reboot into download mode no matter what i try.
Additionally, when I boot I see the recovery reboot message for a second and the Samsung logo and then the screen goes black and stays that way. Bth the capacitive buttons vibrate when you touch them but do nothing else and the volume seems to change the volume up and down. Still with the black screen though
Anyone come across this or have any ideas.

it could be your recovery image is broken somehow. make sure your phone is off. try download latest custom recovery. i recommend either twrp or philz touch cwm. while phone is off, press home + power + volume down. when you see a warning screen, press volume up. this will go to download mode. flash new recovery via odin.
i had issues before with custom recovery causing recovery boot loop. the only confirm working recovery for me is cwm philz touch and twrp.
I flashed a wrong file in twrp and my phone went into a bootloop. I want to boot into recovery to reflash the ROM but I can't do it, the phone is stuck into a continuous bootloop (stuck at the Samsung logo and vibrating over and over again). I can boot into download mode using vol down + power + home, but vol up for recovery isn't working.

1. Boot in DOWNLOAD MODE and flash the correct TWRP via ODIN again. Done.
2. If the step 1 doesn't work. Boot in DOWNLOAD MODE, reflash STOCK rom and reflash the TWRP, the one good for your device. Done.

Secret mode wasn't working in the Samsung browser so I flashed a zip that I found on xda that supposedly fixes this issue and cleared the cache and dalvik cache. I don't see how this could have erased twrp from my device. I currently don't have acces to a computer so I can't use Odin, is there really no way to force shutdown it or something?

Enter download mode, once you are in download mode press at the same time power + home + volume down button. As soon as the screen goes black release the volume down button and press the volume up button immediately, then it will boot up to TWRP

I tried flashing ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager to a device and then I used ROM Managers "reboot into recovery" option to launch recovery. Unfortunately it seems the flashing of the new recovery was unsuccessful in some way despite ROM Manager reporting otherwise. Thus the device now tries to boot into recovery, fails and then tries to boot into recovery again.
Is there an easy way to make the device boot normally to android so that the recovery can be fixed?
Flash stock recovery via download mode
I tried this, the problem is I can't get it to boot into download mode since even when holding volume down, power and home it tries to boot into recovery.

Just hold them down regardless until it does. The 3 button combo will override any flags to boot to recovery.
