I did not install any custom recovery, just rooted the phone with supersu
I have to click the first option in recovery to boot back into the phone
Its not an emergency but how do i make it restart normally again without booting into recovery?
Phone model: sm-a300h

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.

I have a SM-900I (Taiwan version) with the Samsung version of Lollipop 5.0. I'm trying to install a custom recovery for backup purposes. I'm flashing the TWRP2.8.0.1 image using Odin 3.07. It seems I can have the custom recovery installed, but when I restart the phone it goes back to the stock recovery.
In Odin I'm checking only "Reset F. Time", I'm loading the tarball of the recovery as PDA, I start the process and it stops once it has reached "RES OK!!", I unplug the phone and shut it off, start it in recovery mode and the custom recovery is there, but after I launch Android and try to access recovery again I load up the stock recovery.
Solved by using a more up to date recovery image.
Tick off the auto reboot on odin
Then
Flash your recovery
Wait until it's done abt 2 min
Remove your battry and put it back
Go straightly in to the recovery mode by pressing volume up+power and home
U will see your custom recovery
Ps: flash the compatible twrp or phiztouch to your device
I just installed cwm recovery on my note 3 that had stock root android 5.0. I used recovery tools from the app store and selected reboot into recovery after it flashed it. Now all it does is try to reboot into recovery fails and restarts the process over again.
I can't get into download mode and removing the battery does not help.
Any ideas?
Shouldn't be that severe. Are you sure you're pressing the right buttons to get into download mode?

Last week I rooted my phone (with magisk) but wasn't really satisfied so I decided to unroot it. After unrooting I also decided to lock the bootloader. After locking the bootloader however my phone booted into recovery mode where I get 3 options; Download latest version and recovery / Reboot / Shutdown. When I reboot the phone it will get back to this menu and the same happens when I shut down and turn it off. When I choose the first option I get the ''Restore your system with WIFI'' menu. I can choose between Download and Recovery or go back. When I hit Download and recovery my phone will start connecting to the WIFI and after that it's ''Getting the package info from the server'', after about 10 seconds I get the error ''Getting package info failed''. This is where I'm lost, I basically can't do anything at this point because my phone will continue to boot into recovery mode and the package will keep on failing.
Is there any fix for this? Please help!
I followed the forum instructions to flash TWRP onto my N910F Note 4 according to instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55277852&postcount=3
All works fine. But when I reboot into the bootloader I still get the original bootloaded with the "Downloading Do not turn off target" notice.
On that tutorial it does say at the end that if the recovery hasn't changed then to uncheck the auto-reboot option. Did that, but same again.
What could I do?
Download mode is nothing to do with recovery.
You flashed a custom recovery, therefore you'll need to boot into recovery, not bootloader (download mode in Samsung phones). Power off your phone, then hold power, home and vol up to access the recovery you just flashed.
Sometimes the phone indeed overwrites the newly flashed custom recovery with the stock one, in such cases it usually helps to disable auto reboot in Odin (as you did), holding power+home+both volume buttons to force a reboot, then booting back to download mode and flashing the recovery one more time. Happy flashing!
