To access recovery, you must press first vol-down and 3d button then power button

Your adb setup isn't working. Have you booted your phone holding VOL+ and power? Are your ADB drivers installed?
It's either the first or the last one, check your stuff. I doubt it's bricked.
look thats what the phone do exactly when i restart it normal it keeps on the boot screen it just keep going on but when i boot with vol + i get into that menu not sure what its called where it say
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
RECOVERY
POWER OFF
not sure which driver i had but can u give me one to install just in case? thanks
PS. i just reinstalled the drivers from Android SDK still having the same problem

I've never had good luck with the Android SDK driver, I use the PDANet driver instead.

That always got my phone to be detected after.
Edit: That's the fastboot screen. You should have used this when you rooted your phone, if you did it "manually".
You will use fastboot flash recovery recoveryimage.img
to flash a recovery. Recoveryimage.img will be the name of the recovery you're trying to flash.
i did and thats what i get when im trying flash the recovery
wow i restarted the phone and tried and it worked

looks like you intalled/restored the official recovery back
FIX!
enter in fastboot mode (vol + and power), download the official 4.0.4 images and follow the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572307

[Q] Not booting to stock recovery???

hello guys,
I have successfully installed the Lollipop release LRX21o... Initially i used the flash-all.sh method... it gave me an error first.. so i clicked flash-all.sh once again.... then it installed everything without any error... Phone booted and everything was working fine.. but when i tried to load the stock recoevery (to wipe everything) pressing the vol + button on recovery screen doesnt get me any where.. all i can see is the android with red triangle.
I tried the manual process of flashing the rom.... same thing happened..
I havent tried any custom recover image.. .So cant tell about others.
Are u guys having the same problem???
Is there any work around?
Have you tried manually reflashing recovery?

Anybody facing the same issue??? ( i will try to reflash the recovery only will report.)

The way to get into the stock recovery menu is not by pressing the vol + button.
When you see the Android with the exclamation point, you need to HOLD the power button and then press volume up.

YUynique stuck at cyanogen fastboot screen and not getting into Recovery by key..

So, after testing uninstalling CM13 I decided to restore nand_backup, everything went well. but now I can't boot into "recovery" by key combination(vol_up+power) it always stuck at "cyanogen_fastboot" screen, I'v tried fastboot method and from there I can access twrp but key combination don't work.
No key combination is working(maybe I don't know the key combination), anyone know any workaround?

1.Poweroff your device
2.press vol_up+power
3.keep pressing until it boot into twrp.
By this process you can bypass cyanogen_fastboot screen & boot into twrp.

After you switch of your phone press volume up first then the power and keep perssing both until you see twrp, and you can also do that from the fastboot mode. It's still working in my phone buddy.
change key
Power+volume down check this... It worked for me.... Msg if it works...

SM-G955F root attempt failed.

Hello,
I'm trying to root my device.
I've installed the Samsung usb drivers.
The problem is that Odin gets stuck on "recovery.img" while trying to install twrp.
I even tried Heimdall but nothing works..
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello my friend. I had the same problem before. What you have to do in order to install TWRP is to press vol up + Bixby + power BEFORE to click on START and hold the buttons until Samsung screen shows up.
Then, you can flash and get root via recovery.
