I was dumb and tried installing TWRP recovery for the U.S. version of the S7E snapdragon. I nearly bricked my phone, but I was able to restore the original bootloader and firmware. However, afterwards I found out that I can't get into recovery mode when booting up (Power + Home + Volume Up). The only way I can get to recovery is by connecting via ADB when the phone has fully rebooted and commanding "adb reboot recovery".
Does anyone have any ideas about how to restore the shortcut to recovery when booting?

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.

lost my twrp after installing bootloader changer and then installing kk bootloader(for cloudy 3.3). (accidently marked install twrp inside the bootloader installation after already having the latest twrp installed)
phone restarts right after logo appears and seems to be unable to boot at all.
no download mode. no recovery. not even hardware factory reset is accessible.
im really lost here ! read all xda posts nothing works because i cant connect to
the phone from any pc. please help! i cant flash anything because i have no adb or any connection from the phone to the pc.
wont show up in device manager in any way(with the latest drivers installed) and wont show up on linux on /dev/sd*.
before the bootloader i had access to twrp and showed up just fine on my win 7.
problem solved!
was able to enter recovery mode by pressing pwr + vol-up release when logo appears and press vol-up + vol-down.
Hello guys, i'm having a problem, i had TWRP working fine, but i've installed a stock rom and it replaced TWRP with stock recovery, i did the Odin thingy again but now when i boot holding volume up+power+home it boots to download mode, and not to twrp... Also, is there some sort of bootloader/fastboot mode on this device? So i can use adb
Device is SM-T230NT
Try going for volume down instead of volume up. Bootloader is already unlocked and fastboot is download mode. Just open USB Debugging and you can access ADB
First of all, i'm a noob so please don't mind any technical mistakes.
I recently flashed RR on my device with TWRP, and all was working quite fine.
But then, I decided to try out DU, and flashed it. But my phone was stuck on the lock screen with a "com.android.phone stopped working" message.
I used ADB to wipe my data ( for if there were any conflicts) using : fastboot -w
My phone now is working fine, But i've lost root access, My phone DOESN"T BOOT INTO RECOVERY.. Holding vol+ and power just ends up in a screen with the RR logo( yes RR, even after flashing DU).
I've tried to flash TWRP using ADB again but it's not working.
ROM manager says I've got TWRP and CWM installed.
Also Kingo and Framaroot aren't working.
I would really want to get back:
1.Root access
2.TWRP
Some help will really be appreciated....
Press vol up+down and power button simultaneously, to access recovery.
I've tried that, my phone just shows the RR logo screen and nothing else.
Alternate method
dude you just need a pc with adb driver installed then go to bootloader mode by pressing vol- and power button, then using adb command write (fastboot boot recovery.img).
Here recovery.img is ur twrp recovery or other,then it will flash recovery.img in ur phone and automatically go into the (twrp) recovery.
(u need to copy recovery.img in ur adb folder before u write that command)
I have done that... It does flash twrp onto my phone..but my still doesnt boot into twrp...
then use another recovery, sevenmax twrp recovery is the best.
Hello! I wanted to install a custom rom for my J7 2017 but I have a broken power button so I decided to flash TWRP recovery with adb tools, after I flashed TWRP I wrote in CMD: adb reboot recovery, after it booted in the normal recovery (not TWRP recovery) now everytime I charge it it straight goes to recovery mode, my Windows laptop and PC don't recognize it so I can't just do: adb reboot and I can't factory reset it in recovery mode too, I tried to get out the power button but it's stuck, can anybody help?
Hello same problem here. I assume you know how to boot phone without power key?Can you teach me? I googled it said samsung3000tools but total virus said it is virus....
I did not root my J7 phone and power button stuck. Forget to charge phone and now it is "dead”.
just note I tried pressing volume while charging button etc,etc,
