Flash custom recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A friend just gave me a G2 because he had some issues. I want to flash stock rom again but I can't enter into download mode. I hold volume up while plugging in the phone to pc and it just boots normally. I tried to flash custom recovery. I flashed CWM via Rom manager, TWRP via flashify but it's not working. When I boot into recovery it's just the stock recovery, no TWRP no CWM. Any ideas? Am I missing something? Do I need to unlock bootloader? I searched for how to unlock bootloader but I can't find anything. (I managed to root the phone)

I can boot the rom normally. I don't know how to boot in fastboot mode and the stock recovery is working.

First, AFAIK, the G2 needs to downgrade to certain build version (???) before able to install custom recovery. In my case, D80020y, all I needed was installing and running the AutoRec app by Cloudyfa (?)
Second, I hope you already know that but worth to remind, you have to enter (press Power button) 3 times from stock recovery to custom (TWRP) recovery mode.

Hey guys, I flashed a p802 ROM on my p800(att) and I'm stuck on fastboot. I removed and reflashed recovery. Nothing happened. I can't return it to stock cause the model its showing in download mode is p802. Is there anything I could do?

did you use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
after that you were not able to get into recovery?
Was the 802 ROM a modified stock ROM?
If it was a stock modified ROM then find an original AT&T boot.img, you can download any ATT ROM and extract the boot.img. From there get back into fastboot and flash boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
once you have boot.img flashed you should be able to boot into Android. Do not go into recovery and wipe or format anything.

Can you get into recovery? Which recovery you have? If you can get into recovery, then flash the PA ROM again so you can get into fastboot, download CM for the 800, extract the boot.img from CM and flash that boot.img
turn the device on holding the power down key and power button, as soon as the bootscreen comes up...release the buttons and re press them immdeatley.
this should put you on the recovery screen, hopefully from there you can restore your phone.
cheers.

from fastboot flash clockwork recovery if you are not using it and then see if you can mount USB storage. Not sure if it is in twrp or not. Did you use the CM boot.img from the D800 CM 10.2? It should have boot. Did you wipe system?

Tried to install TWRP now I cannot boot into recovery

As the title says, I tried to install TWRP onto my Galaxy S5 via the app. It said that everything was successful but when I try to boot into recovery, I get stuck on a loop that says recover failed with a big caution icon saying start up failed. I can get out of the loop by using Odin and trying to install the recovery through that but it fails but I can at least turn my phone on and use it. I would like to get TWRP on my phone still but every outlet I have tried does seem to work. I could use some help here. My phone is rooted with a custom stock rom.

I have flashed twrp 3.2.1 via odin 3.12.3, but why I didn't see twrp interface when I boot into recovery? It says something like this:
Android Recovery
MMB29M.G900FXXU1CRA2
samsung/kltexx/klte
6.0.1/MMB29M/G900FXXU1CRA2
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
....
...
Power off
Based on what i have seen on youtube, it's not the twrp interface? It's G900F, un-rooted, not sure other status.

If they flashed successfully, you only need to turn the phone off completely and then enter into recovery mode manually as in doing the gesture to go into twrp

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.
