just rooted my one x
followed the steps here to install TWRP recover
but what i cant figure out is how to use it exactly.. from the project page it looks to be an app
and yes i am new to this **** lol
you can go to recovery using bootloader ( power off and press power +vol down ).. or use below command through adb ( device connected to pc ) - adb reboot recovery
Not good if you think custom recovery is just some app. You should do research and learn the importance and usage of custom reocvery.

im new to rooting too. i also did the above but i thought it was (volume up + home button+ power button= recovery mode) ?
No, the correct combo is volume down + power to get to the bootloader, then select recovery from the menu (using the volume keys to move the cursor and the power key to select).

First, before you do anything, read about what TWRP is and maybe watch some videos about the features or something so you don't come back with a formatted sdcard and no idea what to do

It seems that you are getting your information from the wrong source. That is the completely wrong button combo, and keep in mind that every Android device has different button combos.
On this device, its power+vol down (release power after a few seconds, but keep holding vol down until the white screen comes up) to get into bootloader. From bootloader, select recovery. There is no button combo to boot directly into recovery.
Don't follow directions for other devices.

Can someone tell me how to get into the stock recovery?
Power up in to H-boot (power + volume down) and choose recovery from there. It could be power + volume up, can't remember 100%
Why do you need stock recovery? nothing interesting there as far as I could tell....

Press volume up + power together in recovery to see options.

Do you meen press volume up and power when your in the bootloader? I could not get into stock recovery from bootloader.
No. When you're in bootloader, scroll down to recovery using volume keys and select it using power button. Phone will reboot into recovery. Then, while you are seeing pic of a phone with exclamation point, press volume up and power button simultaneously to show text.

That is the stock recovery. Hold power and press vol up (I think, been a while since I've used it) to get the menu.
You should flash a recovery first, man.....if I understand the problem correctly
I upgraded my ROM from 1.3x to 2.1x using goldcard. After i ran the RUU, it said that the phone update went successful and now the phone just keeps turning on and off without even letting me go to hboot. Please help??
if u have nandroid back up just try to restore, if u dont re flash your rom just make sure that you wipe sytem, wipe cache and try to restore factory settings on the recovery menu just to make sure.
how can i wipe the cache and files, my phone does not even start up the hboot, pc could not even detect my phone. please help.
access recovery menu by pressing volume up + home button + power on at the same time hold it until your phone boots up, then release power button when the phone power up but keep pressing volume up + home button until it reaches recovery menu if it still doesn't work tell me we still have ways for that.

Just confused, pressing "home button" included? also afaik its volume down+Power button.
Also, is recovery menu available even if you havent install CWM? i know its needs debugging to install CWM.

sorry "tol" kinda sleepy when i posted this, your right its volume down+Power, if the phone is already rooted there is a recovery menu already but not CWM, but you can install CWM using ODIN just find a CWM tar.md5 file so you can install this using odin.
its not working. i cannot get to recovery by pressing volume key + power key. any other way to do that?
Maybe your phone already bricked. Jtag will help you to resurrect your phone.
Hello, i have GOCLEVER QUANTUM 700, i forgot my pattern code, i need factory reset from boot loader but i can go to bootloader, i try volume up and power on button holding but its not working, please if you can help me
Recovery
To do a hard reset you must enter recovery. not bootloader.
To enter recovery power off your device and turn it on by holding VOL + and POWER in the same time.
If you don't enter recovery try holding both VOL + and VOL - and POWER.
If that doesn't work try VOL - and POWER.
One of the three should get you into recovery.
In recovery you can do a hard reset.

Every android phone/tablet has a recovery partition. You just get to it differently.
Try every possible button combination until you get into recovery.
Once you are in recevory select wipe data partition and you are good to go.
I try every possible way

Can you remember if you enabled ADB debugging in settings? If it is enabled it is very easy to go into recovery and I will tell you.

the right way
power + home + vol up
By holding the "home button + vol -" keep holding until you see twrp
OR
Depending on the carrier you have sometimes the recovery mode the first time is the hard reset screen.
Before you do this back up your device
if you installing it right, hold the "home button + vol -" when you booting it up once you see it your manufacturer logo, let go of your home button then press it again, keep holding the vol -.
Now, you should now should see the hard reset screen, use the volume key to move and now press yes for everything and then twrp will boot up.
Disclaimer i don't have this device
I have a J500F version, found the solution.
Uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin, then do the "installing", after that unplug your device and just simply remove the battery, then replace it.
If you're done then Volume up + Home + Power button will get you into TWRP.

surprisingly , its working , i am actually not quite believe it makes a difference .
thanks for your tips .
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T700) and I want to install TWRP using Heimdall. It seems like I can flash TWRP in download mode (blue bar appears).
However, now I cannot immediately boot into TWRP. If I press power + volume down the device reboots into system, after that I can only boot to the stock recovery. I followed the tutorial on how to install LineageOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/klimtwifi/install
Is there way how I can boot straight to TWRP recovery after flashing it in download mode?

It isn't volume down+power. Volume down is meant to boot into download mode.
Recovery is volume UP+home+power
Or volume UP+power(if you have no home button)

Thanks for your quick reply! It looks like the only button combination you can do when you are in download mode is power + volume down. Then, when the screen turns off, immediately switch to power + volume up + home. This will cause the device to boot into TWRP recovery.

Yes, power off and then use the correct button combination. The various button combinations for the various bootable modes only work when starting from the powered off state, the fact that you needed to power off before using the correct combination "should" have been self-evident and self explanatory.
I was just letting you know the correct combination to boot recovery because you weren't using the volume up combination in your previous attempts, that is why you weren't getting into recovery.

I personally have struggled for a VERY long time to get TWRP working on a Sumsung device.
Most recently, I have used Magisk to patch boot.img that I was able to extract from the device.
Then I built a .tar.md file to flash that file along with the appropriate recovery.img using Odin.
Every thing went swimingly well and Odin stopped with a PASS.
However, when I rebooted the device, it boot looped in TWRP. System never got a chance to load.
I recovered by flashing the ENTIRE 3 .tar.md files using the same ODIN and everything recover and watch starts perfectly.
WTH could I have done wrong??
Boowho>>
