How to boot into TWRP recovery mode from Phone OFF state

I cannot figure out how to boot into recovery from phone off state. If I go to ROM Toolbox pro and reboot that way into recovery, then it works fine, but NOT from phone off state. Thanks.

Press/hold vol down + press/hold power will get you to the bootloader, then select recovery from there.

Did you "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" or "fastboot boot recovery.img"?

Got, it. Reinstalling recovery from Goomanager, worked. For whatever reason, my recovery was repalced or gone.

Hey the same thing is happening to me as I am using my Nexus 5. Can you please show me how to do what you did to find this. I cannot boot into recovery. When I try installing TWRP from GooManager it just says it will download but it never does and then after a while the app shuts down. I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom Manager and it downloads all the way and than says that a problem occured. Can somebody please help me with my situation. When I press the power button and the volume down button and it brings me to the bootloader and i navigate to recovery, it just brings an android guy with a red triangle. please help me. I just want a custom recovery. I don't care what it is. Either TWRP or clockwork mod.

Hello forum peoples. Recently I have tried to flashthe paranoid android firmware using flasherfy. I have twrp installed but idk if I was supposed to do with it. My phone is now in a boot loop because of my attempted flash. Please help me fix this. I am able to boot into both firmware update mode and factory reset mode. For the factory reset mode I am able to boot into the reset mode but as soon as I try to wipe it just reboots again. I have tried to use the lg firmware update tool using com5 and com41 and using both they stop at 49% and the phone just disconnects from the program/computer. Help Please! !
EDIT: I have an lg g2

For stock recovery, yes you'll see that screen. On that screen all you have to do is press power button and then press volume up (just one quick press) and it will take you into recovery menu.

SuperSU won't update binary

So I rooted my Nexus Player running Marshmallow (6.0) using the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
My bootloader is unlocked, I flashed the boot.img from the first post in the above thread, (already flashed TWRP), then booted into recovery and flashed SuperSU 2.56 from the 2nd post. When I launch SuperSU it tells me that the SU binary needs to be updated, but it can't do it the "normal" way so I try to do it via the TWRP way, it says it's going to attempt to boot into recovery, but recovery never comes up, it looks like it's rebooting, and just hangs on a black screen. So I tried doing "adb reboot recovery" when SuperSU says it's going to try to reboot into recovery itself and do that before clicking ok, but I get the same results. If I go into recovery via the hardware button, no updating happens. It just loads recovery. If I load up the Nexus Player like normal boot, and connected to my PC do "adb reboot recovery" it loads the recovery fine without hanging on any black screen.
So I'm at a loss here on what to do. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

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.

You have to install a custom rom or root to make twrp permanent, if you don't do that it will install always after the first boot the stock recovery.

You need to reflash twrp with the bootloader like the first time.

When you have flashed twrp, you do the buton combination to enter twrp, if you fail to enter twrp a the phone boots into system the stock recovery will be reflashed so you have to reflash twrp.
Try making these:
When you are in the bootloader after flashing twrp press button down+ power button. When the screen turns off quickly stop pressing power button and quickly press again until the lg logo appear.
When the lg logo appear stop pressing power button, quickly press again and stop pressing the power button and press again quickly until you see twrp logo.
These method works for me for booting twrp easily

The stock recovery appears but you have to select the factory reset option and it will boot into TWRP

Unfortunately still not succeeded after trying all the solutions i've found here

Hey, i have the same Problem, my TWRP broke, i can't boot into recovery and my Device ist not listed in fastboot mode. Can someone help me out?
I get the ring in windows when i plugin but its not recognizing.. Can someone pls help me out?

Okay, I'm going to try to explain it, and see if I can succeed where others have not.
You install TWRP by booting to bootloader and using fastboot to push a new recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It seems like you accomplished that successfully. The next step is to immediately boot to recovery; do not boot the phone to system first. You will get the factory prompts for wiping data, but it will not actually wipe your data this time. Instead it will boot to TWRP.
Now, while you are in TWRP, you need to either root (flash Magisk) or install a custom ROM. If you do not, your next boot to system will remove TWRP and restore the stock recovery. If that happens, then the data-wiping prompts the next time you boot to recovery are real and the phone will wipe. So you MUST - must must must - root or install a custom ROM while you have TWRP up, in order for TWRP to persist.
If you have already experienced this problem, you need to start over at the beginning; flash TWRP again, and then follow the rest of these directions.
Maybe this will help clear up the problem for you guys.

Guys a little help
I only manage to see the TWRP welcome screen and the the phone automatically reboots to system
I can't get to see the TWRP menu at all!!
WTF is going on?
I have repeated the process many many times and always the same. What i am missing here?!?!?

me too when it boots in twrp only showing logo then it reboots in system what are wedoing wrong?

Got the same problem. I unlocked Bootloader, checked if unlocked (yes). After flashing TWRP i see the TeamWin Screen and phone boot again. There is no TeamWin Menu.
A try with an older TWRP-Version and flashing via fastboot with another PC does not work too.
Anybody an idea?

Did you guys manage to fix it?
Matt.

With 3.2.1.0, 3.2.2.0 and 3.2.3.0 it only briefly shows the TWRP screen and then boots into system anyway.
With 3.1.1.0 the key combination to boot into TWRP as with the other versions above simply doesn't work, again it directly boots into system without even showing the TWRP screen.
I'm stuck with a resetted phone because of this bull****, because some instructions said "oh, the reset dialog will not really reset your data..." - yeah thanks for nothing, buddy.
So what now?
EDIT: I got it working using TWRP 3.1.1.0, but the same version from the OFFICIAL site didn't work, as I described above.
The only 3.1.1.0 TWRP that works with my phone is the one from this Link: http://downloads.codefi.re/rashed/g6/
(which is linked ... somewhere here in the Forum, don't remember which thread)

Not booting into TWRP

Hey everyone,
I decided to root my lg g6 and got a fickle. After unlocking the device and flashing TWRP I tried to boot into it (''adb reboot recovery'' command) and it deleted all data and then twrp shows on screen for a split second and almost instantly boots normally into android so I set it up while still being unable to access twrp and any of it's functions. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
P.S. Of it helps: before that i had a problem that every time I tried to use the ''adb reboot recovery'' command the console said ''no devices/emulators found''. After a couple tries I wanted to check whether the phone was connected just to make sure (''adb devices'') and after that it worked and I ran into the problem above.
Thanks for all the answers

When you first unlock BL and flash recovery you have to manually enter recovery mode.
Hold power and vol down till it turns off. Hold same buttons again until you see lg logo. Release power and press and hold again.
Then ask you to wipe etc hit yes both times and it will boot to twrp.

I tried that but it still doesn't go into twrp. After confirming that wipe stuff it just boots into android (without wiping)

You have to flash TWRP recovery and when it complete then use the button combo to boot into twrp, otherwise it will boot and restore the recovery.
flash twrp
button combo to twrp
done

Yes I've done that but the problem still exist.
btw thanks for the help

Maybe try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Try the all-in-one tool on this forum

By the way, I am running into the same issue.. I have a LG G6 US997,.. I have tried installing TWRP unofficial ones so many times and every time i manually try to access the recovery.. the phone simply wipes all my data to default

Hello,
I have the same problem. Did anyone figure out how to solve it? I'd highly appreciate any help.
If I try to boot into recovery, it asks me to factory reset, i hit yes twice and then the phone just goes on to boot normally. The data is not wiped but I can't get into TWRP.
If I enter "fastboot reboot recovery" after flashing TWRP it returns "fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery"
