Cannot access recovery mode in lenovo k4 note [newbie]
Hello,
I recently tried flashing for the first time and attempted to flash my lenovo k4 note with RR-rom 5.8.5 v4.2 (Official).
During the process I managed to flash TWRP 3.0.x onto the phone recovery and loaded the RR OS. However, i was unable to access any internal storage on the device. (Apparently the storage was not mounted or something). I also lost the root privileges to the phone while i was trying to fix the storage issue.
Deciding to start everything anew, i tried to reboot to recovery mode and it never worked. I couldn't boot to the TWRP recovery (1). I tried reflashing the TWRP recovery through adb/fastboot and the process completed without errors. However i still could not access the recovery mode on my phone. Desperately tried to wipe the userdata and cache (as suggested on one of the forums/websites)... but that just cleaned my entire ROM. I now think i've soft bricked my phone where it doesnt move past the "Lenovo - powered by Andriod" logo. All the forums/websites/videos suggest booting into the TWRP recovery but i just cannot access the recovery mode on my phone let alone the custom recovery (TWRP) and even the recovery reflashing does not seem to work. Cannot access recovery from "adb reboot recovery" cmd either.
I've tried everything i could which fits my basic understanding and now am asking someone for help.

Hi there,
I wanted to install latest CM10.1 coming from 0526 yesterday on my Defy+.
Did a backup with TWRP first.
Then the flashing failed, so I wanted to recover from backup.
Phone now is stuck at Motorola M not booting anymore.
When I enter bootloader (vol down) and want to enter "custom recover" he just jumps back to the same menu. TWRP is not starting.
Choosing "stock recovery" is possible, but if I choose a CM10.1 zip file it's not accepted.
RSD Lite does not recognize the phone when it's in the bootloader menu or in the stock recover menu.
Help is very much appreciated, what can I do?
Thanks and best regards.

Okay, I found out why I couldn't enter flash mode by using Vol+ when starting.
The phone powered already up when I put in the battery, so I always pushed Vol+ too late.
Pressing Vol+ WHILE inserting the battery did the trick, phone went into flash mode and I could re-flash 2.3.6 sbf using RSD lite.

Still not sure why TWRP was messed up just by recovering from a TWRP-made backup...
Best regards
Same situation to me.
I opened Terminal Emulator, gained root access
then type below command to get recovery mode
# reboot recovery
Custom recovery not running
I have a similar issue.
I rooted my stock S4 and installed the proper TWRP.
Heres where my situation is a bit different from anything I have seen on the forum threads. All attempts—both hard and soft—to reboot into recovery, all direct the reboot to Odin Mode. Just to clarify I have not flashed any rom custom or stock, the only thing I have flashed has been TWRP and CWM recovery. And I only flashed CWM AFTER the Failings of TWRP.
When I attempt to boot into recovery, it flashes the blue characters then sends me into a Odin Mode loop until I hard-key the "download mode" and select restart to boot the os normally.
my phone works fine other than not being able to flash custom roms, which is a pain in the arse especially with all the s4 Bloatware.
Here's what I have done so far to help myself:
• install CWM recovery
• tried hard-key reboot recovery (power off/ press home/volume up/power)
• soft reboot recovery through both Goo, CWM and ROM Toolbox pro
• removed my sd card and tried reboot recovery
• removed battery and reboot recovery
• emulator reboot recovery
• reboot recovery both with and without usb cable
I looked into flashing stock with Odin but all tutorials i could find were of an older version and I didnt want to guess what I needed to get that to work,
Please let me know if theres anything I can do.

Hi,
I was on stock bootloader and stock OTA 4.03 ICS rom. I wanted to upgrade to jellybean rom from tegraowners. I am now stuck in recovery mode.
Here are the steps i did.
1) rooted my A500 succesfully
2) With the Blackthunder APX flash tool i flashed in auto mode the Skrilax_CZ V8 bootloader (with multiboot) also succesfully.
3) Then i flashed with ADB.exe the 1.8.1 Touch recovery image that also went well and succesfully flashed it.
4) Booted in recovery mode and wiped data.
5) Went to install from external zip the latest jellybean rom from tegraowners wich is ofcourse on my sd card.
6) It started to formatting my system partition ( i think it was on 7%) and then it suddenly restarts my tab.
Now the only thing i have is power + -VOL is my recover mode and power + +VOL is my other menu i have wich contain the fastboot menu.
From there i am stuck and don't know what else i can do.
I do have my UID number and SBK.
Here is a screenshot of what i have in recovery mode:
Thanks and hopefully someone can help!
You will have to do a "real" data format. And for more help with ROMs from "other" forums you should ask on those "other" forums.
You will find the moderators here do not condone those "other" ROMs.
Perform a real format, then flash a ROM again (you'd better go to Tegraowners.com for more support), but if the problem persists then it may be a bad download, which means you have to download and flash your recovery again. However at TegraOwners you can also find the latest TWRP recovery.
i tried to root my Lenovo K6 Note, after flashing TWRP i forgot to backup and was able to wipe my system.

Connect to pc and boot to recovery via fastboot mode or boot to recovery using key combination. And while in twrp copy rom from pc to phone and flash it. Nothing serious here. If you dont know how to boot to recovery using fastboot or by key combination you shouldnt have done all these stuffs yourself.
So I flashed a custom rom and it required a specific TWRP recovery. But after installing the custom rom I had to install another TWRP recovery otherwise it wouldn't boot into OS (this recovery was probably unsupported and thus my phone was forced to boot into OS)
So every time I wanted to boot into recovery mode I had to use an app like flashify and flash the first recovery to boot into recovery mode. And after finishing I had to flash the "unsupported" recovery again in order to boot into OS.
Now with the "unsupported" recovery, I installed Xposed and some modules and then restarted the device. And..........boom! The phone is stuck in a boot loop! And I can't even boot into recovery mode.
Now here's the other nightmares I'm getting:
1. Cant use ADB to flash a new recovery because my device is "unauthorized" and in order to fix that I need to go to developers option which is not possible (because of boot loop)
2. Uninstall Xposed: button combinations aren't working and I cant go to recovery mode to flash the uninstaller zip
3. vol up + vol down + power button doesn't open recovery because the recovery is "unsupported"
4. Can't even boot to fastboot mode by holding vol down + power. It tries to boot into OS and starts boot looping
5. Can't use sp flash tool to flash stock rom or recovery because whenever I connect the phone to PC, the phone tries to boot into OS and....you guessed it starts boot looping.
Now I'm out of ideas and really depressed. If anyone can help me out with this I'll be grateful forever.
My device is: Lenovo k4 note
Chipset: MediaTek MT6753
Currently on this recovery: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298981920
Got this recovery from here (recovery2): https://forum.xda-developers.com/k4-note/development/unofficial-resurrection-remix-5-8-2-t3570195
Thanks!

I think the pc cant dtect my device same problem bro after installing new rom it keeps on rebooting after the lenovo logo. Cant also access the recovery mode. Please help me
Bro I'm not an expert. Someone from XDA discord server helped me with this. And I actually forgot the exact thing I did to be honest. I downloaded the sp flash tool on pc and downloaded the stock rom. Then flashed it to the phone. You have to connect your device via USB before. For a detailed guide you can search on YouTube with something like "how to flash stock rom via sp flash tool"
Or ask in the discord server. They will surely help you.
How did you flash that? Can you please explain step by step
Check this link: https://firmwarefile.com/lenovo-k4-note-a7010a48
You can download the stock rom from here. And there is also a tutorial on how to flash it. I followed it. Hope that helps!

Thanks, the problem is my phone is struck on the Lenovo logo, it's not turning off but my computer deducted it as Lenovo device
If ADB can detect your device then you can just flash a new recovery and you should be fine. But as I said I'm not an expert so I'd suggest you to ask for help on the XDA discord server. That's where I got help from.
Did anyone found the solution?
Thanks
Can any one find the solution of that problem , because my lenovo k4 note also stuck on boot looping logo... and vibrate like bootup time
Hello,
I am into a TWRP boot loop.
- I can boot into TWRP
- I can update ROMs
- I can update TWRP
- I can connect to the computer and send files using mtp://[usb:001,003]/
- I can Wipe ...
But when I reboot into the system, regardless of the ROM that I use, I get again into recovery
I have read in some posts that from the TWRP command one could try to clear the first sectors of the misc partition
For instance for a Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72298526&postcount=14 it is said that this could help
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/7464900.sdhci/by-name/misc"
but ... I cannot find the misc partition in /dev from the TWRP shell ("find /dev -name misc") !
Could someone help me with this one ? I would appreciate it a lot !
Regards
Same problem on MadOS 8.1 (MT6752)!
TWRP loop
Just flash old stock 5.1 Android ROM through Flash Tool. Its pretty easy. Then turn it, turn it off and wipe data. restart TWRP, upgrade TWRP and install new Android 8.1 and gapps. Turn the phone on and its finished. You can do recovery now for the next instalation if you want. I am doing this often because I have same problem for several months. Fortunetaly google backup works pretty fine so its not problem with installing apps again. The command you wrote above doesnt work for me.
I'm having the same problem. I was using my phone today, when it started to show wifi problems (couldn't connect); so, I rebooted it and its screen started to blink; when I rebooted it again, it automatically entered into recovery mode (TWRP). After this, the phone didn't boot normally (MadOS Android 8.1) anymore - only TWRP. Even when I try to charge it, it boots into TWRP mode instead of showing the battery animation.
In my attempts to solve the problem, I firstly reinstalled the MadOS 8.1 ROM but it kept booting into TWRP mode. So I flashed an old Android 5.1 ROM I got (connected and uploaded the device successfully with SP Flash Tools) but it also kept booting into TWRP (now an older version from the 5.1 ROM). Then I uptadated the TWRP and the OS again to MadOS 8.1 but the result was the same.
With any other alternative, I came accross this topic and tried the steps described above (practically identical to what I just did), but again I hadn't any positive results.
What else could I do?
Hello,
I have finally resolved my issue !!!
a) Using "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1824_Win" and the "RC5_S3_16GB.zip" stock rom I flashed it using ---->>>>> "firmware upgrade" mode <<<<-------.
The option you can find it in Smart Phone Flash Tool, between the "Authentication File" and the table with the partitions.
b) Once done with the flasshing, boot the telephone into the Stock fimware
c) Boot into recovery (power + volume up) and flash the latest TWRP
d) Flash you new ROM
Do not hesitate to ask me if you have questions.
