****************************************************************************************************
i suggest you this guide this method do for me

Disable update CM recovery option in developer options... Then flash custom recovery.... it will work.

once flashing twrp recovery, you will need to use
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot
command.

remove battery after install recovery before restarting phone
then insert battery and start in custom recovery

install Custom Recovery
1) enable developer options
2)enable advance reboot and usb debugging
3)disable Update CM recovery option
4)reboot to bootloader and flash recovery
" fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery_twrpyulolli.img "
5) directly disconnect phone (phone displaying FASTBOOT MODE)
6) remove battery and start phone in recovery mode using volume UP+DOWN and power key
7) And YOUR are IN TWRP RECOVERY ......
THIS method work for me perfectly .....i m also having same problem of flashing custom recovery and again showing CM RECOVERY
:laugh::laugh:
Thank You...!

Which is best for yureka cwm or twrp recovery

I'm facing the same problem but this trick didn't work for me.

Honor 7 keeps booting into twrp.

Hi,
I have rooted my honor 7. All went well until I INSTALLED Quick Boot ( Reboot ) . I tried to see if I can get into recovery mode. The cell phone turned off came into recovery mode, but now I can not go out of recovery mode. Tried everything but mobile go back to recovery mode. Please help me.
Thanks in advance
Younus R.
Sorry if am i in wrong thread.

I don't know where the flag is set to tell the bootloader which mode to boot into. But I'd say this flag is probably stuck...
If you've tried all the options in TWRP's [Reboot] section (Reboot bootloader/system/recovery/poweroff) with no success, then your only option is to flash full stock

thnx for your reply. Problem solved
here is the solution
Step 1: Press Volume down - and Power Button For 10 seconds ( fastboot mode: ) while connect the USB cable from your device to your computer.
open the PC command line window, enter the ADB installation directory, make sure your phone and PC is connected,
Than type : fastboot devices
and than: type fastboot reboot
Thnx n hope this post will help other.
I Love XDA. thnx again:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Install twrp

I seems that the right command is "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Unless you wanna install the recovery onto the kernel partition.

@OP: The correct command to flash the recovery is
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Please correct it in your post.

Because the instruction in first post is incorrect, after you flashed recovery you also need to use this command: "fastboot boot recovery_image_name.img"
This is needed only to boot into TWRP for first time, if you intend on flashing custom ROM's then Format DATA,reboot to recovery again and you can use it normal.

Is your phone rooted? If it is, then install quick reboot from playstore, grant it root permissions and you can enter TWRP.. but if it is not rooted, probably you can't.

Connect your phone to pc, enable usb debugging, if you donot have minimal adb and fastboot in your pc, download them, then open command window in that folder by shift+right click and then selecting 'open command window here'..
New cmd window should open and now type 'adb devices'
Then if your phone asks for authentication, grant it.
Now you should see your device number in the list of devices attached.
Enter 'adb reboot recovery'. Done.
Type the commands without punctutations.

It means, you lost twrp recovery. Stock recovery replaces it if you donot delete recoveryfromboot.p file from --root/system/
If your phone is rooted try to delete that file from any third-party file managers which can have root folder access.( Es file explorer or root explorer). Now install TWRP again with adb commands. I hope you could now enter TWRP without any issues. Good luck:good:
Or
After connecting phone to pc, in the command window opened in minimal adb and fastboot folder, type 'adb reboot fastboot' Now the phone enters directly into fastboot.
Flash recovery with the command
'fastboot flash recovery name.img'
(replace 'name' with the name of the recovery image') and boot into recovery as soon as you flash(must).
Now in TWRP goto advanced, file manager, goto system folder and you could see recoveryfromboot.p file. Select it, delete it. And now you can enter TWRP without any issues

try this for TWRP recovery..
1. Enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking from developer options and connect your AD (Android Device) to PC ,say yes to your phn settings
2.you need custom recovery image(******.img) of TWRP and it should be copied to the adb tools folder
3.open "unlock recovey " from adb tools and as AD goes to fastboot mode ,allow your phone to do so
4.press (shift+right click) on adb tools select "open command window here"
5.type in "adb devices" make sure it says all listed devices are connected and type in "fastboot flash recovery ******.img"
6.everything will be done afterthat unplug your devices and google your recovery key combination then you will directed to twrp recovery

i had the same problem.. repair your volume down button and do the rest before that key stops working again.

I'm not sure how you installed a Custom Recovery on your phone without Rooting it first. Rooting isn't required for the same, but it does interfere with the flashing process most of the times.
Anyhow, if your device is entering the Stock Recovery instead of the Custom Recovery, then you have simply not flashed the Custom Recovery onto your phone in the first place. A Custom recovery, when flashed, should overwrite the Stock Recovery on your device. This means that you won't have both the Custom Recovery and the Stock Recovery on your phone at the same time.
You'll have to flash the Recovery again and this time, try flashing the Recovery with a Rooted phone. You'll be able to enter your custom Recovery then.
