- Extract from Kernel the file "Boot.img"
This file is in folder D5503_14.5.A.0.270_XZDRKernel2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable.zip\tmp
Don't delete the zip, we need.

Select Boot.img file
The phone will reboot.
When phone vibrate, press volume down lot of time to get recovery mode
Information : If you don't arrive to enter in recovery mode, restart all this step. With hotboot, Kernel is install only for one boot. So in case of problem, your kernel is not modify after a new restart. So, if you don't enter in recovery directly, phone will restart with default Kernel, and without recovery mode.
- With recovery, install

Hi i'm having a problem with this method.
Everything goes well until the :
"The phone will reboot.
When phone vibrate, press volume down lot of time to get recovery mode"
part
The phone never vibrates
I figured "whatever maybe i had my phone on silent or something"
So i press volume down a bunch of times and get thsi in the log.
"device connected in flash mode"
with no LED light at all.
after a whle the phone reboots normally.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have done. Thanks.
But I have a little problem. Supersu need kod update. I choice normal but failed
sorry I solved my problem. update su 2.49 beta problem solved

Is there a way without having to unlock bootloader?
Hey, is there a way without having to unlock bootloader?
I had root before the update, and updated through PC companion, and then I lost my root. I use stock rom and only use the root for aps and tasker.
Thanks

projecticarus001 :
Normally, after hotboot with Kermel from Nut's zip. The phone restart, Led becomes green and phone vibrate. it's do this before boot animation.
I get this all time. But i hotboot 2 or 3 times because i don't press good volume button and i press not in good time.
Hotboot install kernel only for one boot ! If you need to do again operation, you need to send Boot.img again

I've tried several times an phone never vibrates after restart! Period! I've been pressing volume down and it just enters in flash mode just like in "projecticarus001" case.
If you know solution please tell me what to do.

is recovery necessary?
hi...should i have recovery installed before I do this? I just have stock .270 rom with an unlocked bootloader.

Hi guys, i have the same problem! :X I've tried a lot of times and my phone is never vibrating and letting me get in to recovery mode :X

Ok, who is crazy here? I simply go to the kernel download page and it says that i need to build one...then i go to the SuperSu downlaod and there isnt any latest beta option or ony other option except to download. Am i blind as hell or what ?

I can't get recovery mode.
I have tried several times and nothing happened when i press volume down button during green light before boot animation

I guess you had the same problem as I experienced yesterday.
From NUT's website, the D5503_14.5.A.0.270_XZDRKernel2.8.15-RELEASE.flashable.zip is not available any more, but the 2.8.21 version instead. I could not get into any recovery by hotbooting the boot.img from the 2.8.21 zip.
Instead, I used the boot.img out of the CM11 to hotboot / enter recovery by pressing vol-down and continued as stated in the OP from there (flash NUT's recovery, and the SuperSU zip).
It worked for me, maybe you'll have as much luck

loop on starting
hello
my problem is that when start the phone only vibrates and restarted again

I used latest 'installer' from Nut's downloads and worked perfectly.
Thanks for this.

Phone repeatedly trying to boot into recovery.

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.

LG OPTIMUS L7 cannot access recovery mode

Hello there. My LG Optimus L7 was lagging to much with it's stock rom so I decided to flash a custom rom to it. So I rooted my phone, installed CWM, and then using Rom Manager app I rebooted to recovery mode, before that I was trying every combination I found on the internet about how to enter the recovery mode, but no success. Anyway, after rebooting into recovery I installed CM 10, but the phone got stocked into CM boot loop. Now I can't access recovery mode to reinstall the rom, or install a new one. I also tried emergency mode (holding the vol up then plugging the usb cable) , which didn't work either. How can I enter the recovery mode? Please help! Is there any way to access the recovery mode without the buttons combination in this state(when phone is soft bricked) ?

I cannot access recovery too! I have TWRP installed but i tried every combination on internet and till can't access it Do somebody know any combinations to get into it?

I remember that once upon a time I was able to enter the recovery. But only once. I pressed randomly all buttons and succeeded. More times have I failed
Maybe it is the newest recovery fault.

I have the same problem. solutions?

V10 - power and volume lower (-) after the lights turn on release power and volume buttons and press only home button
V20 - power, volume lower and home, when you feel a vibration release all the buttons

[General Info] Entering recovery mode on the Redmi 3S

If you flashed the twrp recovery image from http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/ and cant boot into the recovery using vol down + power ( which is basically fastboot ) or the volume + up ( which is just booting into rom )
To boot into your TWRP Recovery or any other recovery that you've installed
1) Power off your phone ( Don't have any cable connected to it )
2) Volume up + Volume down + power button and hold
3) When you see the Mi Logo appear , Let go of ONLY the power button
4) If you've successfully flashed the twrp image on the recovery, you should be entering twrp mode now.
5) Disable dm-verify from advanced settings.
You're done :good::good::good:
The only reason i made this post was for all the android phones i've used, volume down+power button meant going into recovery mode, and not fastboot mode. this was the first phone with different key mechanics and I thought you guys should know as well
TL;DR? Volume up + volume down + power = Recovery
Volume down + power = Fastboot mode always
Volume up + power / Power button = Normal boot

Great information ??

Your method works not every time. From time to time its different.
Here is what for me works.
WITH OPEN BOOTLOADER
I flashed TWRP with Fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
>>>directly after flashing<<<
1.) Push Vol+ and Vol- and Power at the same time
2.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
3.) With a little bit luck you are now entering TWRP
4.) If not, do not release Vol+ and Vol-, the Devicescreen went totally black
5.) Do not release Vol+ and Vol- and push now the Power Button
6.) If you see the MI-Logo release ONLY the Powerbutton and wait
7.) Then TWRP starts (for me)
8.) A few times i landed into the chinese menue, then push the recovery button, with a little bit luck you arrive TWRP
9.) If nothing helps, and the device starts normally, imho the process changes twrp back into the original recovery -- then flash twrp again and start from Point 1.)
NOTE!! If you enter TWRP the first time go to Advanced Settings and tap on --Disable DM-Verify-- .
After i disabled DM-Verify and flashed the Xiaomi.eu Rom the above worked for me without every time flashing twrp.
I worked 6 hours at this workaround

Glad buddy

Thanks, OP.
Just would like to confirm that disabling DM-Verify option does not make the phone go into Recovery/Bootloader mode via Advanced Power Options menu while the phone is ON.

Bootloop after Viper4Android

So I just rooted and got everything to work just fine (.33). Thought i'd smash in Viper4Android aswell.
The phone is now stuck on the logo with the red and two white dots.
I can get it to reboot with Vol+ and power, but the power-button does not let me go into recovery mode at all. It's like its disconnected.
Is there anything you can do to get into recovery/fastboot from here?
Also tried every single vol+powercombination with 0 results..
Thanks in advance.

What viper4android version did you install? And what Android version are you on?
If using Magisk 21> you should be able to hold down power button to boot into safe mode.
Hold power button and volume down and up at the same time, this should boot you into bootloader.
If you're on Android 10:
Boot into TWRP and remove module folder from data/adb/modules
Android 11 (or 10)
[Recovery][Stock OOS]Oxygen OS Stock recovery with ADB enabled
While waiting for a working TWRP for all those needful of the possibility to access their file system from recovery, e.g. for removing an offensive magisk extension preventing boot I repackaged the Stock OOS recovery but with ADB enabled...

Thanks for the reply.
I seem to have solved it (for now..).
I could not get any key to answer to my commands when i rebooted the phone (hence why i couldnt get into recovery etc.), it only went back to the loop after displaying the usual message about the bootloader being unlocked.
Holding down both volume-buttons and using the msm-tool i managed to get it back to OEM (with everything locked. Again. Lmao) so now i just gotta watch out when I install Viper again (if i do..).
Running Oxygen 11.0.3.3.IN11BA with the latest Magisk (I just patched it today)
Edit: I just used the Viper4Android that i found inside Magisk if that makes any sense.
I'll try your links and see if i have to re-flash again..
Cheers
