How to go into the recovery mode for mi A1? I have tried the hardware key combination of volume + and power button but it leads me to a screen which says 'no command'. Appreciate your reply.

A lot of users have complained about the efficacy of that application, it lead to too many bootloops.
But in your scenario you need to do a factory reset by holding "volume up + power button" till you see huawei logo.....you'll lose all data on internal storage including any previously installed, or updated apps.

Volume up + power button, should NOT install you any package at all, it has to go to either custom or stock recovery,I will assume that you're not touching the volume down at the same time while you're doing this right?
Edit:
Updating from to B161 via dload method must have reinstalled the factor recovery, so this is where you can find the factory reset option.
But if you do choose to install a custom recovery, voiding warranty temporarily, you need Meticulus TWRP for marshmallow since it's ur base system, this you can install via fastboot after unlocking it.

Use TWRP to factory reset, if that fails too, get the recovery file from the update package, extract just this file, then install it via TWRP by installing/flashing file(*.img) instead of zip, find this button in TWRP, just tap it to change to file and browse for the recovery.img, then after go to stock recovery by selecting reboot to recovery in TWRP...then try again to factory reset, if that file don't work Or fails, I'll send you my VNS-L31 MM Stock recovery for B161, of this is your device too, then you'll lemme know.

So I successfully unlocked bootloader and installed back TWRP however i can't make fully factory reset as TWRP fail to mount /data when i do factory reset (and i can't even mount my data through MTP on TWRP). Should i tried to flash another package like full b150 through dload or i absolutely need to try factory reset on stock recovery ?

To mount data go to swipe, advanced swipe, select data partition only, then change filesystem, then select f2fs, then repeat this but NOW selecting ext4, then flash what you need to , to the data partition, if this is leads to boot loop after, then reinstall stock recovery then factory reset, then you'll b good

You have to enter twrp in hard mode to make a factory reset in twrp and not in settings. Do the following:
- Power off
- Press Vol down + Power. When you see LG logo, release power and press and hold it again
- You will see a white screen. Reply Yes twice (it will ask twice)
- it should boot to twrp again
- in twrp go to wipe and swipe slider to make a factory reset
- reboot system
If it still doesn't reboot to system, make everything I said above and reflash rom. But if you didn't mess with system it should reboot ok without reflashing.

Making a factory reset in android settings also make a TWRP loop. What I said above is the way to solve that loop. Now, if you don't any ROM installed, you need to do it. Even without anything installed you can connect your G6 to PC and copy a ROM to be flashed with TWRP.
I've done this several times, not only with G6 but with other phones also. Just boot to TWRP, connect to a PC and use Android File Transfer to copy a ROM to SD or Internal storage. Flash it and reboot.
yes. i try it. twrp loop again. my internal patrition is empty.
i clear cache, flash rom (fulmics, stock, etc) and reboot to system- twrp loop. always.

Did you enter TWRP using the hard method I said above? If you don't, it will not work. Also, make sure you have decrypted data partition
Did you ever had anything else other than stock rom installed and running? If not, and you to run Fulmics you need to format DATA with the format option (not the wipe one) to decrypt it, then install bootloader for V10T and Fulmics 1.5 (this is explained in Fulmics thread).
Anyway, I can assure you that if you proceed as I said on my first reply, and install Fulmics it will boot properly, it's just the way you enter TWRP that it will make a difference, if you don't use the hard method you will not exit the twrp loop.

Trouble flashing TWRP

Hi, everyone.
I have a galaxy s8 SM-G950FD. I have once flashed TWRP and rooted the device successfully.
Then I tried to install a custom ROM but I got bootloop.
After that, I flash official ROM to unbrick my device. But since then, whenever I tried to flash TWRP again I got this message "Verification failed unable to restart your device the integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data."
My device is still working fine but I want to try to flash a new ROM (even if I may brick my device forever). I don't know what to do. Can you guys give me some advice ?
Thank you!
It's quite a simple fix I think: You need to make a backup of the Data partition and then do a wipe using TWRP. This happens because TWRP cannot handle Samsung's Encryption; the only way to bypass this problem is by formatting once again.

But I cannot boot into TWRP. How can I do that ?
If you're stuck in the bootloop you should press the force reboot key combination: Power Down + Home + Power. After the device restarts switch the Volume Down key for the Volume Up key right after the screen goes blank. That should get you into TWRP (if it's correctly installed), otherwise directly into the stock recovery.

I cant flash/get into TWRP. I tried to boot into stock recovery and do a system wipe/factory reset. Then I flash TWRP again but nothing seem to happen. I tried to boot into recovery and it get me to the stock recovery not TWRP.I did unlock OEM, used Odinv3.12, twrp-3.1.1-2-dreamlte.img.tar.
I had the same issue.
After Odin has flashed the Recovery it performs an auto reboot (if checked in Odin). So at this reboot hold Vol up + Home + Power as soon the screen goes of. You need to be quick. Then it should boot into TWRP.
True, Samsung's stock recovery is very persistent lately and if you tick the auto-reboot you have to be very fast in switching to Recovery mode combo.
Otherwise you can choose not to tick auto-reboot, force restart the device after the TWRP flashing was successful and immediately switch to the Recovery combo.
Here you go: two ways of doing this.

How can I access Recovery Mode on LG V20?

How can I access Recovery Mode on LG V20? I want to wipe system cache partition due to problems with Wi-Fi and Tethering. The only option I have is factory reset. (Volume Down+Power)
Plug in USB cord to laptop.
Turn off phone.
Hold volume down button.
Plug in USB cord to phone.
After you see a flash of blue download mode, release volume button and phone will boot to recovery.
Do your thing.
Side note, Install the correct V20 variant twrp img to recovery so u don't have to do this enter recovery method anymore, you can enter recovery from the twrp app menu.
I tried the method and led me to fastboot, no option to wipe system cache partition from here. I'm missing something? It's another way to solve connectivity problems?
Thanks!

Do you have twrp recovery flashed?
Turn off phone
press volume down and power together until the lg logo displays
release and press the power button
click on yes to reset
and it should land you in recovery if you have twrp installed
otherwise use lgup to flash the kdz to our phone and restart everything.
