[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.

HELP! galaxy A500H is stuck in boot logo ,cant enter both RECOVERY OR DOWNLOAD mode

My phone just went by its own into a bootloop form stock 5.02 , i tried to flash the stock using odin and the problem continued . I then tried to root my device usrin TWRP but i didnt notice that USB debugging must be set from OS it self which i dont have any access to .
So now i cant exit the boot logo no matter what i do from Key combos like Power + Vol down to restart , not matter power + vol up/down + home button , nothing just works , any ideas please ?

Cannot go to recovery mode

Hello everyone.
Every time after installing custom ROM i couldn't go to recovery mode using vol up and power key. Any solution plz. Thanks in advance.

You have got to press all three keys to get into recovery: Vol. up + Vol. down + Power

For going recovery pls press all three buttons vol+ vol- and power button
Or you can use advance reboot option in most of the ROM for going to recovery.
For it long press power button
Then select reboot it will give option for recovery soft reboot etc
If there is no advanced reboot option you can download it from Google play & apk name is ' reboot menu widget '

You have to install through ADM tools.

SOFTBRICK BL in GALAXY S8 Plus - POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

I recently flashed a custom recovery in Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955FD) and it stucked on boot .
Than, ODIN stopped in been able to flash any partition and started returnning a "DEVICEINFO" message error every time.
To by-pass this BL soft brick, I used a new trick:
1- Start ODIN (I used 3.12);
2- Choose partition to flash (BL, RECOVERY, your prefered flavor) at the right option in ODIN:good:;
3- TURN OFF THE DEVICE;
4- PUT IT IN DOWNLOAD MODE HOLD: VOLDOWN+BIXIE+POWER and AFTER the option screen PRESS VOLUP;
5- TRICK PART: HOLD VOLDOWN+BIXIE+POWER at MOBILE AND *AT THE SAME TIME* (PUSH START BUTTON) in ODIN AND CONTINUE PRESSING VOLDOWN+BIXIE+POWER until download mode pre-option screen;
6- You get another error in flashing process; NO PROBLEM! :good:
7 - Put the mobile in DOWNLOAD MODE AGAIN, just pressing VOLUP, because you already put it in download mode pre-option screen state holding the keys in previous step.
8- Now, FLASH normally for a second time, and it will work :victory:.
I guess it works with all newer S8 BL.
Good Luck!

TWRP without Home Button? G935FD

I want to flash TWRP on my S7 Edge with a broken home button. I can't boot immediately to recovery from download because my key combos are as follows
Download Mode - Vol Down + Home Button + Power Button
Recovery Mode - Vol Up + Home Button + Power Button
If anyone wants to know, I can go into download from system via ADB. Is there anyway for my PC to detect my phone to boot to recovery via ADB while in download?
