rooted but can't get to custom recovery - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had my tf101 for sometime and I rooted it very early but every time I try to get a custom recovery installed it never seems to work.
I have checked that I am rooted and its a fact. When I tried installing CWM recovery it appears that it installs but when I hold down the volume down and power button I get the normal boot and not booted into recovery.
If I use terminal to SU and then REBOOT RECOVERY the same thing happens, it boots to the normal android.
I currently have 4.0.3 installed. I can use several apks that require root and they all work fine.
I need some direction.....Thanks in advance.

When you hold VOL DOWN and POWER for 12-15 seconds, there is some white text that appears that says PRESS VOL UP to enter RCK. Did you release and tap VOL UP at this point?
Also, what method did you use to install the recovery? Please tell me you did not use ROM Manager. If you did, please do NOT use it. See HERE for the reason why.

you can flash a new rom with fastboot.

you may after wait for battery to drain.

my phone doesn't respond at all in fastboot and volume rocker doesn't work at all. I tried tapping or smacking near the power button for a long time and still nothing.

if you dont get any response from your volume buttons, you can use odin. theres a thread here that explains how to do it through odin.

I read somewhere about taking the battery out and then plugging in the phone to usb with ADB running, or was it ODIN, it should boot in to download mode, and from there you can get in to recovery, I seen it done on youtube as well, I think you might need to press the volume up button when you put the battery in, hope it helps

I need help fixing my Nobis Tablet.

Nobis Tablet
Model – NB09
Android Version – 4.1.1
Kernel Version – 3.0.8
Build # - NB09.2013929.V005
This tablet says it has insufficient storage space and I am unable to install or move any apps. It also keeps factory resetting every time I turn it off. Is there anyway to fix this?
You have to reboot into recovery mode, wipe everything/factory reset because your tablet may have errors in the system and to boot into recovery mode, turn it off and press & hold power button + vol up at the same time until you see the nobis logo/or it vibrates and after that release the power button, but continue to hold the vol up button until the android recovery pops up.
Then its straightforward from there.

Since mine had a warranty, all I had to do was email the manufacturer to get a return maintenance RMA number, ship it to them, and wait for them to ship it back fixed. I'm trying to find their website for ya.

I fixed the problem by shipping it back to Nobis and having them do whatever they did to fix it. When they shipped it back to me, it was working perfectly. But now, it’s doing the same darn thing, lol… Busybox was never installed on that tablet.
I have support email address

The correct method on my Nobis NB09 was to hold down on the minus (-) volume button and the power on simultaneously. Once the boot screen appears,
you will see a plain screen similar to the old DOS screens. Use the volume up and down to select the menu choice. Use the power on/off button as the "enter" key.

S6 Bootloop, No OS, No Home Button.

Hi,
I have an SGS6, SM-G920I, I have the phone for about a month with Android 6.0.1 on it, rooted with CF-Auto-Root. About 2 days ago, I decided to unroot the phone because I never used an app that need it, so, I did it from SuperSu app, after that, the phone keeps in bootloop.
I want to flash a stock rom, I already download it and odin 3.11, I dont care about pictures or anything else, but, my problem is that home button isn´t working, so, if I press vol down + home + power, it only recognize vol down + power, and because of that I cant pass the warning screen, neither vol up nor vol down works.
Is there any other way to pass the warning screen in download mode, I can only boot in recovery but non option allows me to flash rom.
Thanks in advance..
Yes. Just need just domaged usb cable. And make like this yourself.

Also recovery is option, boot into bootloader. It is download mode. Meaby it works for you.
Gonna try this, thanks for answer.
Access Download Mode from Recovery is not working, already try that, but phone keeps stuck in bootloop, thats weird but it happens since I have the phone

H830 bootloop please help

i use magisk module and ,y phone cant boot normally. bootloop on t-mobile screen. how i can enter twrp?
You enter Twrp the same way you enter the stock recovery. With phone off press and hold the power and volume down button. As soon as the first screen pops up (i believe its the lg logo) continue holding volume down but quickly release power button and then repress and hold it down again. Then follow the prompts click yes to wipe phone, instead of wiping the phone it'll put you into TWRP.

Some Magisk modules are only for certain phones or OS. I had the same problem after installing a module that was supposed to help the gpu. The dev didnt say it was for a specific phone or OS, but i assume that it was. Always make sure to read the notes of the module.

"only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"

I tried to root phone with twrp and magisk but forgot to turn on oem-unlock, so I am stuck now and getting "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" notification. I can neither boot in download mode to flash stock rom, i tried many times. getting same red notification doesn't matter which button combinations I hold. Do you know how to solve that?

Do I have to hold it for a long time? I tried, but it's still same, as soon as I connect it to PC red notification starts blinking.
I rooted it long time ago, today I did factory reset from twrp and as I wanted to flash magisk I forgot to activate developer options and after that I have this problem. Maybe I have to wait for some time?

Like I said, just continue to hold until you see download mode.
It doesn't work. Is something else I can do?
Edit: I fixed it, thank you. It was just other button combination
what combination button you press?

Power button + Volume down and then plug in USB-Cable, that should put phone in download mode.

For putting phone in download mode no, but you have to flash stock rom again so you will need them.
If volume down + power button + plug usb cable didn't work, try volume up + power button + plug usb cable and connect to PC, it should put phone in download mode in few seconds.
Here are links you need to install android OS again.
