i9505 stuck in Recovery Mode

Suddenly my Galaxy S4 i9505 stuck in Recovery Mode, its not and never rooted. When i choose reboot from Recovery menu, it opens on Recovery mode again.
I tried to flash with odin but nothing. Also i cannot go to Download Mode through 3-button combo so i use ADB to enter download mode. The only way to boot normally
is to press power button then release and hold volume down till i get Samsung in white then release. Any idea please.

[Q] (i9500) I flashed the leak of Lollipop and can't initiate in recovery mode

Hi, I flashed this monday the leak of Lollipop for Samsung Galaxy S4 (9500) and after I followed all the steps one by one I'm the only one in earth that isn't able to start the phone in the recovery mode. For this reason I can't flash gapps. I am not able to downgrade even because for the KNOX.
Someone has the same problem? Can anyone figured out how to enter in recovery mode?
P.D: I have attempted to do it with the buttons (vol down + pow + home) and with adb and the usb connected to the phone. Anyone was the solution.

after flashing Rom with Odin you have to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-klte.tar
Installing Recovery and rooting steps :
1- download twrp from here
2- go to flash mode
3- run Odin load file as AP then click start
4- go to recovery by powering off your device and hold volume up + home + power button
5- when you want to reboot to system Twrp will ask you to install SuperSU (rooting your device)
6- swipe to confirm

I did all of this, still can't to initiate in recovery mode.

i had the same problem, try downloading philz (philz_touch_6.48.4-i9500) or twrp recovery (openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-i9500) and install via odin (AP box)
I didn't try the above i just installed the rom again, doing this:
- only the AP file
- uncheck "auto reboot"
- After the process finishes dont reboot the phone to tw, just go to the recovery mode and the wipe cache/data
- Install philz or twrp via odin

So, flash the ROM again with nothing more than the AP box fullfiled and then, when it finishes hold (vol up + power + home). Wipe cache, restart and flash custom recovery.
Am I right?

It can not, because in the first flash has deleted the modem, bootloader, csc and others, so if flashing only AP will not operate the phone, only the PDA.
And masicen these questions have to do in the same thread firmware also behold the solution.
Flashes the firmware again, to start turn it off and go into Recovery by: Volume Up + Home + Power in this order and holding down until you see the Samsung logo there S4 loose and enter the stock recovery, do wipes and restart it, then download Philz Touch in its latest version and flash it with Odin and restart turn it off and try to enter the recovery now.-

I was trying to install TWRP via flashify app,i navigated through the app and chose to download for note 4,it prompted for a reboot and i hit yes,it rebooted and now its stuck on odin mode whenever i on the phone. Help pls

Take the battery out and restart in recovery mode
Power up + Home + Power
Try to factory reset if you cannot boot into recover restart in download mode and flash the official firmware via Odin

then try flashing the recovery thru Odin, it will work, cheers

If you're stuck in download mode then just flash a new firmware and re root. Make sure you use the right firmware. Its not bricked just doesn't have an OS. Use recovery to flash recoveries. If not then use Odin. Apps fail at times and this is the repercussion

Unable to load GT-i9500 in any Custom (CWM/TWRP/Phillipz) Recovery Mode

Hello Team
I have an unidentified GT-I9500, that I need to set in recovery mode.
Using Odin 3.10 and trying all different and latest versions of either CWM, TWRP or Phillipz Custom Recovery.
Even that I am able to set the phone in download mode, Odin states all OK (Pass) and I see the green bar on the phone doing progress ok, when I try to enter recovery, it always goes into stock recovery
Need to run the Screen Passcode Removal zip (only in recovery)
Any help or sugestions ?
I have tried AT&T, Verizon, International etc versions of both CWM and TWRP and none of them work
(they all go Ok on the process, but the phone never gets into Custom Recovery
Thank you in advance
Jose

What is the model number displayed in download mode?

Thanks a lot for your reply
It states:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9500
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNSG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
And in recovery mode it states Android Recovery Mode 3e
Any help is welcomed !

Make sure you're using the original cable, and move the cable to a different port if necessary. This is an Odin issue, not phone.

Thank you !
Tried with 2 different cables, will look for a third one.
Even if a see on the phone the "blue bar" that means download in progress, and Odin says OK, PASS, it can be the cable ?
Thanks a lot for your help
BTW if you know how to remove the Screen Lock password with the Stock Recovery, that sis welcomed as well

I have issues all the time with my S4 and often it just comes down to how I am pressing the buttons to get into other the boot download mode or the custom recovery rom. I swear I press them exactly at same time ,but then I do it differently and it works.
Also found cable / USB ports can affect it too. My home PC for some reason is terrible for using Odin, but then my laptop it works fine.

The solution:
Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin before flashing the recovery.

Just hold the power on button until it reboots or remove battery.

It worked !!!! thanks a lot Lennyz !!
Tried hundred times.....even unchecking the Autoreboot Option in Odin in past tries, but seems with the wrong Recovery version.
I am on TWRP recovery now !!!
Now let me see if I can run LockScreen_Security_bypass...the reason I needed Custom Recovery...)

bootloop and can't access recovery

hi guys i tried to flash my C9000 but now my phone is in bootloop and i can't enter recovery it says
recovery booting
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit recovery what to do plz help
i tried skyneel .com guide
i flashed twrp on my phone

Hi bro. İ have same problem 8 months ago and i know this fix.
First. Sorry for my bad english.
You must wait the battery fully discharge. Because you cant make anything now.
When fully discharged phone. You plug charge and press wolume down+power+home. You can go to download mode this way. You must flash the original firmware via odin.
And if you want flash twrp again this step is required.
Go Settings page in odin and untick the auto reboot.
And manually go to recovery mode by download menu after install.

Ok, do the 3button combination as if you are booting into download mode. As soon as screen goes black, keep power and home key pressed down but move to volume up. You have to be quick before it boots to download. This will get you to recovery.
