Custom Recovery Won't Open

Hello,
I'm having a issue with Custom Recovery.
I've tryed to install both (CWM and TWRP).
The thing is when I turn off my device to
turn it on again pressing Vol Up + Power + Home I got a message saying "Recovery Booting". But the recovery doesnt start, instead my phone vibrate and begins to boot normally. It doesnt enter in custom recovery mode.
I was hoping someone could help me on this.
My device:
Stock ROM
Root (Edited to get rid of Custom status)
1337UCUAMDL
Does anyone know how to unistall a custom recovery or have any idea why this is happening?
By the way I followed this steps

Thanks

Are you letting go of the power button when the device vibrates?

This is how I get in recovery...while phone is on, long press power button for power menu, press restart...than only hold the volume up while it restarts and nothing else, it will than boot into recovery

have you tried re-flashing the recovery?

Have you tried downloading one of the simple reboot tools that let you choose to reboot recovery?

Thanks for the help guys.
So I tried enter in recovery thru CWM option (Restart in Recovery) it worked.
But it doesnt work when I try manually (vol up + home + power). I really dont know why.
I'm afraid flashing a custom rom doing this way, because if something goes wrong I wont be able to acess the costume recovery.
Is there a way to unisitall the custom recovery?

when you see that blue text, and even right before that when your s4 vibrates, are you releasing just the power button? also, have you tried mg2195's suggestion? what recovery are you currently running?

Just flash a different recovery using the one u have.when I first rooted my S4 I used ROM manager ,it had the T-Mobile S4 option so I tapped it and it flashed CWM .after reading about "Loki"I decided to go with the auto Loki .I downloaded the auto Loki and flashed it with the recovery I got from ROM manager.not one problem and I like MDOB MF3 rom

This is actually a common problem for some reason. There's an easy workaround:
Long press the power button and choose "power off". Give your phone a few seconds to turn off completely. Once it's off, press and hold these 3 buttons at the same time: POWER+VOLUME UP+HOME. Look at the top left of the screen - as soon as you see little blue text saying entering recovery, let go of all buttons immediately...but be ready...if your phone vibrates (it might be trying to reboot normally again), press and hold those same buttons again until you see the blue text again...then let go immediately. Now you will see your recovery!
Alternatively, when I'm not on a custom ROM that has the reboot options mod built in, I use this app to get to recovery/bootloader easily:

[Q] Can only boot to custom recovery via ROm Manager

HI
I have the i9505 samsung s4.
I managed to root it via odin, and flashed the Team win recovery as part of the process. I downloaded root checker and it shows that the device is rooted.
However, when i turn the device off and then try and boot to the custom recover I am finding it impossible.
I hold the volume down, home key then press the power button and keep them pressed. THe phone keeps going to the odin download mode and no further etc. However, I can get to the custom recovery via rom manager. What am i doing wrong??
Using rom manager is fine, however if something goes wrong during a custom rom flash then i will need to use the buttons to boot to custom recovery
Please help
Manny

Tried that and still no difference can boot to the philz recovery from the power options of phone but not using the buttons. Is there something within the phones options I need to enable or disable ?

If you flash Philz recovery you can boot only when you turn off your phone and by Hold and pressing Power+Volumeup . Im Guessing your asking the Extended Power menu Option by Pressing Power and choose restart > There should be Reboot Option IE Reboot,Recovery,Downloadmode. Mate is your phone rooted? If you want an Extended power menu option try to install WannamXposed , and Enable it from there, Make sure to follow hes Tutorial. Have a nice day.

hi it is the same with both custom and stock rom. I am now running paranoid 4.4.2.
The issue is that I need an option to get to recovery using the buttons. There is no issues getting to recovery from the power menu once the phone is running
It is really annoying me now
Thanks

[HELP] Can't boot in recovery through buttons combinations after flashed custom ROM

Hi guys
There it is the things you should know first
MIUI v6 > MiUi v7 > TWRP mod > root > Resurrection Remix
Here it goes
I've decided to install Xposed, ok, flashed and bootlooped
Normally I take off the battery and put it back to reboot in recovery through buttons
So...
So what?
NOTHING
Just a small tux at top right of the screen and it's all
And bonus: fastboot and adb comands is not working, it says device not found even with debugging on
So....
So what?
I GOT A WAY
Flashed the TWRP mod again through the batch file which comes attached and magically it bootted into recovery and I could save my phone
WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT IT?

PS:
I Will send screenshots quickly
You guys should see
I can't understand why the adb comands doesn't worked but the batch files worked
As they are the same

In miui to enter recovery we used power + vol up button.
but after installing twrp we have to use power + vol up + vol down to enter into recovery.
Try it man.

Thanks buddy
Sorry if this appeared so noob
Actually I have upgraded from a very different device...
So I didn't expect that

button combo does not work for my redmi 2 with twrp 2.8.7,1 with custom rom (RR, CM... 5.5.1 based)
neiother recovery nor fasboot
i could boot to mi-revovery with miui 6 and 7
?!
the onlyt ways i could get there is rebooting from rom menu or with .bat reinstalling my twrp

I used to have this problem too. I re-flashed to a different TWRP version (2.8.6.1) using fastboot and then the power + vol up & vol down button combination magically worked.
A while after that I updated to the new TWRP (2.8.7.1) again and it still works. No clue what made the difference though.
Hope this resolves your problem.

Chris you're a savior
flashed an earlier 2.8.6.1 then went back to .7.1 and it worked
[don't know if it's supposed to work just from the phone being completely shut down << lack of experience with redmi/twrp >> can't do it from frozen and/or while it's rebooting, but it's good enough for me]
thank you once again brother!

Use this application to boot your phone to recovery mode..... "Quick reboot"

You can also select "Advanced Reboot" from the developer options.
But if the phone was loopbooting I don't think you have a chance of doing it.

Please help!

Hello everyone, from the title you've probably figured that I might be a noob and you'd be correct.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm trying to root and add TWRP to my phone, I've searched for a user friendly guide and this: "https://rootthedroid.com/root-leeco-le-max-2-install-twrp-recovery/" is the most user friendly guide I can find.
Something is not installing correctly and I think there are gaps in this guide, I'm pretty good at reading and following directions. I'm able to get into bootloader and Once I think I've installed TWRP the power button + volume down button does nothing when the phone is on except for take a screen shot and eventually shut down. However, when the phone is powered down, I'm able to hold the volume down + power buttons and it will eventually take me back to the bootloader screen but not to TWRP as the guide states it should.
So after this I thought I did something wrong and went to factory reset the phone.... When I initiated factory reset, that brought up the TWRP menu, so it was in fact installed onto the phone. I then continue the instructions in the guide. At the end, the power down + power button function does not work except for powering down the phone and bringing me back to the bootloader screen. I then installed the TWRP app and it still says that the device is not rooted.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a good thorough guide or please explain to me step by step how to get this thing rooted. I have x829 version and will be using primarily in Ohio if that matters. I'd also like some guidance on what ROM to choose.
Thank you for your time!!!!

You need to go for the right combination brother.....
Volume down with power button will take you to bootloader.....
For TWRP, press Volume up and power button simultaneously......
And for rooting flash magisk and you're good to go.....

This guy's got the right answer.
Please be sure to continue holding power and volume up until the words "recovery" come up on the screen otherwise it will just do a normal boot to Android.
Another method is to enable developer options (about phone and tap build 7 times), then to enable ADB, then use a PC and usb to the phone and use adb reboot recovery.
Also, if it boots to EUI ROM recovery instead of TWRP? It could be EUI ROM overwriting TWRP after flashing via fastboot.
The solution to that issue is to reboot into bootloader, flash recovery TWRP and then to either hold power and volume up to reboot into recovery or to use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" and then do reboot into recovery from there.

Root attempt Galaxy S8+ Touch screen unresponsive at TWRP

Hi, I followed this guide to root my S8+ https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-how-to-install-twrp-root-galaxy-t3752480
Let's just say that I used the TWRP for the S8 instead of the S8+ and now I'm stuck at "swipe to allow modification", is there a way to unbrick the phone and maybe flash it back to stock?
I saw some threads that say to wait for the battery to die (I'm at 80% so it seems I gotta wait a long time) but after that what do I do? Do I try again to start it in download mode again and maybe this time use the correct TWRP or is there another option?
Thanks.
Edit 1: Battery lost 1% in an hour, this is gonna take a while
Edit 2: The power button + volume down button method doesn't work because the phone keeps rebooting the TWRP interface
Solved: Somehow repeating the action power button + volume down + Bixby button made my phone boot into download mode and now I've flashed the correct version of TWRP and touchscreen is responsive.

If you were to explain this to a child?

Can you boot back into phone normally ( press power button + volume down button until phone restart then release.)
If you can check in developer section to make sure OEM is unlocked and USB debugging on
Restart into download and reflash correct twrp for s8+ ( U can still use the link in your op if you like )

I'm sorry but the phone keeps rebooting the TWRP Interface even though I used the power button + volume down button method. I'm afraid I gotta wait for the battery to die. It's at 51% now

So you can you reboot and get into download mode at all. If so try and flash right twrp.
Also this is the latest twrp for s8+
