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] Can't boot into download mode/recovery mode

Hello,
For some reason, After unrooting my Galaxy S4 i9505 by supersu and resetting the brinary counter i can't seem to get to the download mode or the recovery mode. I tried holding Vol down + Home + Power button to go into download mode but instead it boots into OS, and same for the recovery. i also tried factory reset but the same result (btw in the factory reset my twrp recovery showed up to create partition etc.)
Can someone help me with this, Appreciate any help also i am new here

Thanks, its worked by adb but I can't go into the download mode or recovery mode by tapping those home+volup+power button.
Is there a way to fix that or i have to every time go to the download mode by adb ?

Download your stock firmware from http://www.sammobile.com and flash it with odin,
after that flash philz touch recovery with odin too.

I don't have a direct solution but you don't need to press the Home button. Just holding Power and vol + or - also should do the trick.

Try this:
Hold VOL + Home + Power buttons until it vibrates
then let the power button go
and wait untill the android logo shows up.

How do I boot into recovery from a bootloop?

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

Volume up physical button is gone. I need to enter in the recovery. Ideas?

Any ideas on how to access the recovery without the volume up/+ physical button? I need to enter the recovery to flash a new ROM (stock) but the volume up button is gone, when I get to the laying-android-thingy I can't to anything.

If ur fone is in working condition then install some advance reboot app frm play store

Try adb reboot recovery from pc, or just reboot recovery from terminal app

recovery mode does not open (SM-A205G)

I updated my a20 to binary 9 and now it doesn't open recovery mode
Any solution?

TWRP?

You upgraded back yo stock firmware, so you reverted to stock recovery. If you can, use Odin to flash a custom recovery and try again.
What key combinations did you use?
Give us more details on how you got into this situation so we can help you.

I already installed twrp, but even so the recovery mode does not open
I used - volume and the Power Button. but does not open the recovery mode and just restart the phone again

First use vol - and power. When it screen flashes, before it reboots, press vol+ instead (without releasing power).
It might take you a while to get ut timed right.
