A bit of history on this device (Galaxy a3 2017 A320FL)
I rooted the phone, it got FRP locked so later I tried Lineage OS. Didn't like it so I went back to Stock firmware.
It's working fine but when accessing the recovery mode via power off + volume up + home it boots to the "installing system update" screen that shortly after turns into a "no command" screen. Long pressing those three buttons again I get into the real recovery mode.
I already tried flashing the stock recovery image from here https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:1680/firmware:20213/download/recovery.tar.md5/landing but the recovery mode keeps acting weirdly.
Any suggestions?

I tried mobile odin to re flash my already rooted and cyanogen'd note 3 back to a root ed stock rom,
After hitting the go button it reset and now will only reset into reboot recovery mode.
I have since tried odin connected to a pc and this shows it as added so I think it is connected ok, I have a rom and that shows up as fine and when I click start it reports the SetuConnection message and just sits there.
The problem I have is that it won't reboot into download mode no matter what i try.
Additionally, when I boot I see the recovery reboot message for a second and the Samsung logo and then the screen goes black and stays that way. Bth the capacitive buttons vibrate when you touch them but do nothing else and the volume seems to change the volume up and down. Still with the black screen though
Anyone come across this or have any ideas.

it could be your recovery image is broken somehow. make sure your phone is off. try download latest custom recovery. i recommend either twrp or philz touch cwm. while phone is off, press home + power + volume down. when you see a warning screen, press volume up. this will go to download mode. flash new recovery via odin.
i had issues before with custom recovery causing recovery boot loop. the only confirm working recovery for me is cwm philz touch and twrp.
Hi!
As the title says, TWRP is not working, when I flash it, fastboot says it's successful, so I turn off phone (hold power button), then I try to boot straight to recovery (hold volume up, volume down and power at the same time), phone vibrates, I let go of power but screen is pitch black, so I try again (I again flash TWRP), this time I hold power until Lenovo logo shows up, but It doesn't, screen is pitch black, so I boot system and turn off the phone, boot to recovery and stock shows up, so I know I can boot to recovery. Bootloader is unlocked and I have already flashed TWRP on this phone, I just returned to stock ROM so I lost it.
TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/k4-note/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-touch-recovery-t3530374
I try to use TWRP 3.1.1, used that one before and it worked.
Edit:
I did the same thing and it decided to work, phone just went all r****d on me yesterday.
[solved] Bricked? A3 2017, no download accesible, "failed to set up dirty target"
Hi!
I just bricked my A3 2017. After flashing a stockrom with ODIN no boot is possible any more. I cannot enter the download mode because I just get the blue screen with the android saying "no command".
Pressing Power + Vol-up + home leads to a message
"E: Failed setting up dirty target [hwr-symlink] failed to mount /system as rw"
Maybe the stockrom file was corrupt. Is there anything I can do to get into download mode again or to flash without odin?
I am coming from Lineage 16, so maybe the boot looder of stock 8 isn't running if you have installed Android 9 previously.
Any hints?
After many tries with vol-down and home I managed to get to the download screen sometimes. After that I tried to flash AP files from stockrom again but never succeeded. I don't know why I get past the blue "no command" screen in maybe 1 of 20 attempts with the same key combination (vol-down and home) only.
Today I tried to flash a recovery from here
https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:141/firmware:15535
This was successful and I managed to boot into recovery. In recovery mode I booted into bootloader and the phone booted to normal stockrom I flashed at the beginning (before the nightmare begun).
Still, I don't know what happened but it seems to be some problem of rw-rights...
Anyway... Problem solved!
Hi together!
i have the same problem like this guy. Odin TWRP flash runs normally. After this i press "Vol- + Power+ Home" to leave the download mode. I tried to directly switch to recovery mode (Vol+,Power,Home), but it won't work. After (or while) shutting down the A3 says "Installing system update" and TWRP is gone... What now?

UPDATE: Now it works. I used TWRP-3.0.2-1 with ODIN 3.12.7.
After flashing twrp-3.1.1-0-i9500.img.tar using odin the phone reboots but when I press the Volume up + home + power keys it gets stuck in the logo screen with blue text on top saying "recovery booting..." I've left the phone for 10 minutes so far and it still hasn't booted, powering it on works fine, the only way I have found to boot into recovery is if I power the phone normally and then do adb reboot recovery but that just boots into normal recovery mode and not TWRP. I've searched everywhere online and I can't find a solution, help!
