[General Info] Entering recovery mode on the Redmi 3S - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

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.

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

[HELP] Recovery doesn't get permanently flashed.

I recently rooted my Redmi 3S after unlocking my bootloader ( yes, applying for a request from the mi unlock page and everything) (not pro not prime, just the 3S)
I was on MIUI8, the most latest version ( I know this because I went to software update page and no updates were available. lol )
I proceeded to unlock my bootloader via the MIUnlock program ( nope, no errors, no 50% stuck issues) and flashed twrp and stuff from this link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/
Then I proceeded to flash LineAgeOS and from there whenever i try to reboot into recovery ( yes, i have the advanced reboot options) it just reboots into the main os completely skipping the recovery. I found this strange the first time and thought it was my mistake. But I tried volume down+power which is just Fastboot all the time. I tried volume up+power too, it just stays on the Mi screen. But whenever i run the twrp-installer.bat i got from the http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-flash-twrp-and-root-redmi-3s/ it boots into TWRP. so, basically there is no twrp for me to access without me having access to a computer. I tried copying the recovery.img onto my phone and tried installing it as an image into the recovery. but same issue persists. I just can't access the twrp recovery without using a computer. Please help
Edit : I disabled dm-verify too
I had the same problem with my Redmi 3s 2/16
For me works
WITH OPEN BOOTLOADER
I flashed TWRP with Fastboot

TWRP Wont start after installing viperOS

Hi,
Im a noob. tried installing the latest lineage 14.01 nightly but twrp gave errors . I did manage to flash viperOS. Now i am unable to access twrp. Typical Power and Vol up buttons leave me stranded at the Mi screen. Nothing happens. I have enabled usb debugging , and advanced restart, and android debugging in dev options. still no change. also tried flashing recovery with command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-ido.img" with no change Any assistance would be appreciated.

First of all I think you flash wrong file as our device name is 'land' not 'ido'. Ido is code name of Redmi 3 not of redmi 3s so first download write file from development thread or officials twrp site.
Second after flashing right file press power button +volume up +volume down for recovery in all custom Rom(except miui )

Thanks that worked. i got the correct version and twrp opened and i installed lineage.
however the problem has cropped up again. i cant enter twrp using power + up buttons and it when i do a "adb reboot recovery" in linux it restarts the phone directly into lineage.
i have tried :
- reinstalling twrp with " fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-land.img" -no change
- Power+ up takes me to mi screen and nothing happens
- reinstalling adb-fastboot
- usb debugging is enabled in lineage

You need to press all three buttons power + up + down simultaneously for 10 second.

stuck in BootLoop

Hello i installed on my Rooted and Bootloader Unlocked Oneplus 6t the pixlify module
Then i clicked restart and now i can only see the Dark Google Boot animation
I Already Tried :
Turning off (restart) while pressing power and volume up to go intop Recovery (TWRP)
Its just not working i cant get into twrp
What happens Exactly after i pressed : power and volume up
Phone restarts
I see the Bootloader Warning
And then again the Boot Animation
Volume up + Power combination boots into bootloader not recovery, recovery combination is Volume down + Power.
Anyway you can't even boot to bootloader? Or it restarts after booting to bootloader?

You need to delete this module, you shouldn't install any magisk module without reading what they do or how they work.
It's perfectly stated in the repo that pixelfy isn't for OOS (Oxygen OS).
You need to boot into TWRP recovery, If your device is detected on your PC try adb reboot recovery
Or if it's detected in fastboot/bootloader then use fastboot boot twrp.img (Replace twrp.img with your image location and name)
If it's not detected try fastboot continue (You may have to spam this command for a couple of times)
Note: To run these commands you may want to install your device specific driver and adb tools. You can get the driver from here.
If you successfully booted into TWRP then flash pixelify zip again to completely uninstall it.
