Problem getting TWRP working again

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

[SOLVED] [zui 3.5+] Cannot boot into fastboot / recovery Cannot encrypt

So my friend messed up his zuk z2 plus by flashing zui 4.0 and gave it to me to fix it
On boot it showed encryption unsuccessfull
I tried booting in the recovery and fastboot but it couldn't boot
The device was f**ked up
So i did some research and came across a thread from [email protected] about booting in EDL mode
EDL is emergency download mode
Now to boot into EDL you should power off the device
hold volume up button for 15 second
After 15 second cilck the power button (instant click like you do for going on lock screen 0.5sec) (don't leave volume key)
Now press and hold power button and instantly insert USB cable (insert during device vibrates)
If ( u did it right ){
the zuk logo should blink and disappear and you will be in EDL mode
}else{
your device will boot normally
}
Now you can flash stock rom using mi flash tool
You will need to download qpst version of ROM for flashing
You need to install right drivers for flashing via mi flash tool
I tried using QPST/QFIL but it gave some error
I hope this article helpful

A2017G Bricked Oreo

Can't seem to get any interaction with the buttons, but it is seen in windows as Qualcome HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3).
How i got here.
used a update.zip to go to oreo b3
using the EDL tool i backed up the OREO (A2017B03) recovery
using the EDL tool i flashed oki's trwp and rebooted
nothing...
Tried flashing EDL packages with the EDL tool and MIFlash.
> EDL tool hangs on `loading the programmer`
> MiFlash "cannot retrieve hello packet" , "try to reset status" ,"write time out maybe device was disconnected"
Tried other USB2 and USB3 slots
Tried other USBC cables
prediction, it seems i have broken EDL mode as the device is in the state but does not do anything after that.
device does not boot or reboot into edl. stuck in this state

Why do you backup the recovery? its already included in the zip file,just grab it.And OKIs twrp does not support stock oreo.
If you can boot in twrp,do it and flash a twrp for oreo from nfound and wipe everything

i backed up the stock recovery just incase i was going to go back to it, but seeing what has happened it seems like even tho i flashed a custom recovery and didn't boot into it i am just plain stuck in a EDL state. i can't boot into recovery or fastboot as i'm seemingly stuck in EDL

i was stuck in edl sometime ago too because i was flashing edl firmware and my laptop shutdown because empty battery.Can you enter FTM mode? hold vol down + power button.
If yes do it.Now close axon7toolkit EDL TOOL.After that open axon7toolkit and follow instructions.It will boot in edl again and try to flash firmware

holding for 2 min unplugged and another 2 min plugged and nothing

FIXED
- Waited for battery to drop to 0% and the EDL loop was ended
- plugged into PC and used the buttom combo
- EDL'd ZTE Oreo Rom

Refreshing subject because same **** happened to me
My question is how long did you wait to empty the battery? I was about 57% when phone stucked in EDL... does it drains battery when being dead-like?

I don't have my Axon 7 on me, but I would give it about a day or 2 for it to die out on its own because its standby time can be insane if you have a custom kernel.

Help , Lenovo splash screen and the fastboot mode is written on top.

Hello everyone, there is Lenovo K6 Power, which when turned on hangs on the Lenovo splash screen and the fastboot mode is written on top.
1. you can turn it off and hold both volumes to connect to the PC and it will be visible as Qualcomm / Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008,
1.2 but with firmware via qfil - Download Fail: Switch To EDL FailFailed to Switch to Emergency Download mode. (although the body is essentially already in mode)
2. The fastboot devices command is defined in the fastboot. through the fastboot oem command, reboot-edl- switches to the mode, but when trying to flash it repeats p1.2
3. enters the native recovery, tried to make wipes - it does everything, and after rebooting the mode enters the fastboot again.
*
On a third-party resource, they prompted that we should try to update update.zip with 231 firmware from the native recovery. Does anyone have this file?
sorry for my english, I translated google translator)

What is the exact firmware version that you are trying to download into the eMMC?
I'd suggest you to find a full package for K6 Power (I have the package for K6 Note) and try to download it with QFIL. You can find these on a lot of YouTube videos.
And for entering into the EDL mode, better install a custom recovery (you can find the procedure on XDA) and enter EDL mode from TWRP recovery. This is a better option as you will barely know if you device is in EDL mode as the screen is always off.
Don't worry you will get the stock recovery back when you download the stock firmware into the eMMC.
Thanks,
tfr.

LG V35+ won't enter recovery mode

I bought the phone from AliExpress. I've tried holding all the keys in all the combinations and the phone just boots normally. I've run adb reboot bootloader, authorised access from the phone ,and it just reboots normally. I've just used LG UP to update the firmware to V350NO30d. Nothing has changed. Can anyone suggest a fix?
Additional: According to this page it's not the usual power & volume up combination. https://droidrecovery.com/lg-v35-thinq-recovery-mode/
You have to hold volume up and connect the USB cable. I tried the combination to get to download mode (volume down & connect USB) and that works. The bootloader/fastboot combination still didn't.
Update: The phone's bootloader is already unlocked. See screenshot. As I've already flashed new firmware to it using LG UP can I be sure there's not nasty spyware left on it? I wanted to do a full wipe using TWRP and return it to stock. Apparently TWRP isn't easy to use on this phone.

[RECOVERY] OrangeFox for LG V35 (judyp)
Requirements -LG V35 with unlocked bootloader -Android 10 (Oreo and Pie are untested) -A PC and ADB + Fastboot Download https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rd4o8mwzfg88i/Ofox Instruction 1. You need fastboot access. Erase the laf_a and laf_b...
forum.xda-developers.com
Follow this. Start by erasing laf_a and laf_b partition.

Ok, anyone having issue with phone not going to download mode or fastboot mode? Tried plugging usb cable with volume +/- nothing happens? Could it be because i flashed orange fox recovery? I feel its the only thing that this could happen tried flashing kdz by manually(kings tool) going to download mode but still not going to download mode when pressing volume buttons
