How-to Fastboot on S7 Tablet

Alright, fastboot is useful for development but I am posting it here because it is a general topic and won't be discussing developing.
fastboot is useful because you can test kernel builds without having to worry about it not booting, if it doesn't you just remove battery and it boots normal.
While device is off, hold both volume keys(up and down) and power, keep it held until the device goes black but lit screen. This is the bootloader screen and lets you run fastboot commands.
Another way is to have a rooted S7 and in terminal do the following:
su
reboot recovery (you could do adb reboot recovery from your pc without using terminal on device)

I think razor knows because he mentioned this elsewhere, but in case anyone sees this and tries reboot recovery...
Fastboot is actually
adb reboot bootloader
reboot recovery enters recovery and results in a factory reset

Please tell me more about

twrp problem

Hi,
I have a problem with my device. My device has root (check by rootchecker) an the twrp manager says that the twrp recovery is installed but I can not go into the recovery. If I hold the buttons volume up and power I just come into the fastboot mode.
The problem starts as I start an update by ota.
Can anybody give me a solution?
Thank you.

Turn off the phone. Press vol down and power together till you see anything on the screen and let only power go pressing the vol down further.

You could re-flash TWRP.
1. Boot phone into fastboot mode (volume-up+power button)
2. Connect to PC (make sure drivers and fastboot are installed)
3. If you havn't already download the appropiate version of TWRP.
4. Navigate to the TWRP file and rename it recovery.img then open a command prompt there
5. Type fastboot device to make sure your device is recognized then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without quotes then boot into recovery by typing "fastboot boot recovery.img" also without quotes

Thank you for your help, but it was a brick. I found a solution on YouTube and on this site. Greetings

[SOLVED] Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime cannot boot to TWRP

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime/Pro and my problem is that I cannot boot into recovery using the Power+Volume Up method. When I do so, my phone gets stuck at the Mi boot logo. However, I can boot into recovery when I hold Power+Volume Down (I enter fastboot mode), then I connect my phone to my PC and I use the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
I don't know if it's normal that my phone restarts automatically and boots into recovery when I hit enter with the last command.
I want to be able to get into recovery using the Power+Volume Up technique. Also, I heard that if I hold the Volume Up key when I reboot from fastboot will open a window with an option to disable stock recovery replacement. This also doesn't work and gets me to the stuck screen with the Mi boot logo.
Is there anything I can do to open TWRP using the Power+Volume Up method?

Switch off the phone and wait for 10sec. After that hold together Volume Up + Volume Down + Power and wait (i guess 5-15sec) until you see recovery.

Thank you so much! It actually works! I don't know how, because usually it worked with the Power+Volume Up method.. Anyway, thanks!

Hello,
thanks for your response. I don't know if you actually read my post, but my phone reboots after the command
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then it directly boots into TWRP. So getting into TWRP isn't that much of a problem here. I wanted to get into recovery without a PC and without using any of these commands.
Also, please try to describe the procedure more precisely next time because typing out just one command that isn't even surrounded in
Code:
quotes...
Thank you.

Hello,
thank you for your answer. One thing I forgot to mention is that I use a custom OS too (MoKee ROM) with Android 6.0.1. Although this has an option for 'Advanced reboot' where you can reboot to recovery, this option always got me to the Mi boot logo and stays stuck there.
Also, I already fixed this problem by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down at the same time.
Best regards,
DJsushi

I decided to update my old oneplus 2 to lineageos 15.1 with, but when I tried to flash the file with TWRP, it shows an error. Since the TWRP version I was using was old, I decided to update it first. Keep in mind at this point i had completely wiped my device. So, I downloaded the "twrp-3.2.1-0-kenzo.img" file, as per a youtube video where the dude managed to flash the update successfully, and gave it a go. It showed up as successful. Then i shut the whole device off, and tried to boot back in to recovery to flash the ROM again, but the thing won't boot. It's stuck on this boot screen (with the oneplus logo and 'powered by android' at the bottom), and refuses to go further. I'm stuck in a situation with the phone having no OS, no recovery and the thing won't show up when I connect it to the pc either. Well, the pc makes the 'device connected' notification sound when I plug it in, but nothing shows up on the file explorer or the device manager.
That's my dilemma, please i need help!
Thanks in advance.

You downloaded the KENZO (this is not oneplus2! ) TWRP and flashed it on another phone (oneplus2), just normal that it doesn't work and your phone is messed up.
If you can enter fastboot (vol up and power button to boot) you can rescue your phone:
-enter fastboot (vol up + power, while phone is completely off, u can also hold it until you can see "fastboot" written on the screen)
-connect device to a computer with fastboot installed
-type "fastboot oem unlock" into a terminal/cmd window if there is no error, you are good to go, otherwise your bootloader relocked, use this thread to recover
-if your bootloader is still unlocked, download the ONEPLUS2 TWRP IMG, ALWAYS make sure to only flash the roms, kernels, recoveries or zips for YOUR phone otherwise you can really DESTROY your phone!
-now type into terminal/cmd: "fastboot flash recovery *drag the oneplus2 twrp image into terminal/cmd window* and hit enter
-use vol down + power to reboot phone into recovery and wipe all partitions
-Install a ONEPLUS2 ROM of your choice
If something is not clear, use google, because this is most likely basic stuff you have to know when flashing your phone

I can in fact go to fastboot mode by holding the power+volume up keys. When I the phone to my pc it does show a fastboot device (9597b869 fastboot). What do i do from here?

i tried to follow the guide. but the bootloader, as per you description is relocked. the download link for the driver you provided shows up as empty/no longer available. that's where i'm getting stuck.
P.S, i can enter fastboot mode on the phone via power+volume up.
thanks for the help so far, i can't seem to find much help other than from you so far

Oh, the link is dead, sry for that. try this one (GDrive links are up and working).

so i managed to get into qualcomm mode, updated the drivers, and ran "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe" in administrator mode. it went as it's outlined in your guide. however, at the end of that process, the phone got stuck in a bootloop (the oneplus logo flashes for a moment and restarts). and can't get into qualcomm mode now, since when i connect the usb to the pc while the phone off, it lights the display (to show that it's charging, i think). any way back from this?
(i can still get into fastboot mode)

Do you still have TWRP? If yes go to TWRP and shut down the phone there, afterwards you should be able to enter qualcomm mode again.
otherwise you have to try (i think 10s power button will shut the device completely down). You should be able to enter qualcomm mode if the device is fully shut off (your scenario sounds as if the device is not fully shut off when u connect it to the pc).
Just to go sure: You are absolutely sure to have a oneplus2, are you?

Nokia 5 unable to install Recovery

So I gave my IMEI, serial number and $5 to someone on the internet, and in return I got an email attachment to flash to my phone. So I did, and it unlocked the bootloader. Strangely enough, now I'm getting a stupid yellow message that my device is unlocked and can't be trusted, and it's a bit of a roundabout way to get into bootloader or recovery. One ONLY works with buttons, the other ONLY with adb.
Ok, never mind, so I tried installing both the 3.1.1. and 3.2.1 of TWRP custom recovery, but I am unable to boot into it to make it stick. On top of that, my phone now says "encrypted"? WTF?
Clearly this latest incarnation of Nokia is a bunch of asswipes, offering us Sophie's choice instead of just unlocking the damn things from the start, so there's no point in asking them for help, but I'd expect members here would be able to help?
Any ideas how to proceed? Is there a factory ROM somewhere? This is 7.1.2. by the way, I'm not interested in updating. Come to think of it, I hate this so-called "progress" with convoluted "security" and whatnot. Just give me the damn phone and go away, Google+Nokia. Stick your "features" up ya clacker.

1. Okk first you jeed to go this link and download official recovery for nokia 5 running android 8.1 oreo
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cl1...w?usp=drivesdk
2. Rename it to twrp and give the command to flash the recovery.
3. After give command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. Give the command fastboot boot twrp.img
And boooom you enter in official twrp

Err... no, not quite.
1. Your link is (was) dead, but in any case I'd be wary of installing something stashed in a private Google drive folder... Thanks, but no thanks.
2. I have several versions of TWRP, that's not a problem.
3. I know the correct commands (yours are not), that's not a problem.
And boom - no, you don't end up in TWRP. You end up in system, because it overwrites the TWRP automatically UNLESS you reboot to it immediately after flashing, and THIS is the problem.
It turns out that Nokia needs to be plugged into CHARGER, not the PC, then holding Vol+ and Power button combination will do it. It took me more than a dozen tries, but it worked in the end.

Hi, I had the same problem. I've unlocked bootloader and I successfully installed TWRP and I can go to recovery but the problem is I can't boot the system as it stucks on download mode. Can you help?

Press volume up+volume down+power button at the same time for 7-8 second.
