Hi guys,
I was running stock 4.4.2 and I rooted with DP Tool, and installed CWM apk recovery from this thread. I backed up using CWM, then unrooted using DP Tool to OTA update to 5.0.1.
I started the installation from kk, the phone rebooted but instead of starting the upgrade it sent me to recovery mode. I rebooted but it keep sending me to the CWM.
I tried to restore my backup, and tried to wipe data/factory rest, but nothing changed. So I tried flashing a new rom using LG flash tool, but when I pressed the Vol-UP button and connect USB to enter download mode, it sent me again to CWM recovery.
I don't really know the rest of CWM options, so is there anyway to get out of recovery mode, or get into download mode?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I recently have been doing some beta testing for ROMS and one of them soft bricked my phone and I could not get access to CWM anymore (I have this issue where from powered down state I can never get directly to CWM) so I went into odin and flash the stock rooted ROM. It said it went well but I just get to the bootanimation and it just loops. I could just flash the recovery via ADB except the stock verizon rooted ROM comes with ADB debugging off by default so that is not an option. Currently I am flashing the ROM again via odin to see if maybe that will fix it.
I have a couple nandroid backups and I was just wodnering if there was a way that I could flash CWM via odin and just boot into it and restore the backups instead of having to flash the whole ROM.
Also is anyone else having problems booting into recovery from power-off?
Thanks,
Ljbaumer
First to get to recovery its
Vol up+home+power
Vol down takes you to downloader mode
And there is a odin version of cwm in the development section

Also im not sure why you want to flash recovery thru odin when it trips the flash counter...just use ez recovery and eliminate that issue.
Try pulling the battery to get out of the boot screen, hold volume up/home/power to get into stock recovery, then wipe data/cache. Then you should be able to boot up the phone and flash recovery via the ez recovery app.

Thanks, I completely forgot that I might need to wipe the data and cache after flashing from ODIN. Anyways, I did that and went into EZ Recovery and flashed CWM 6.0.1.0 and I was able to restore my backup of CM10.
Thanks guys,

I tried to install/flash TWRP to my tablet (SM-P900 wifi) using Odin, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried Odin v3.09 and v3.07. I have also tried to install TWRP v2.7.0.1 and then v2.7.0.0 for the hell of it. I get a "pass" from Odin and it says the install was a success, but when I enter recovery mode the stock android system recover initiates, not TWRP. I've followed multiple guides to the 'T' with no success. I've even tried to reinstall my USB drivers--though I haven't had any problems connecting my device to my PC. I'm not rooted (yet). I want to root, but I wanted to make a backup before rooting because I was under the impression that I could do that with TWRP. Do I have to root to use TWRP? Any help is appreciated. This is my first time messing around with roots and such. My goal is to root to clear some bloatware and mount an external HDD. Custom ROMS and themes may be in the future, but not now. Should I definitely do a backup before rooting or just root and go from there?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
This may be a silly question, but just to make sure, you are booting into recovery mode and not download mode right? Download mode is volumn down and recovery mode is volumn up.

Not a silly question for a noob haha. Yes, I installed in download mode.
Not sure if this will help but I noticed that when I installed TWRP with autoreboot turned on and I allowed the OS to boot up I lost TWRP. I reflashed with autoreboot unchecked in Odin and then forced the tablet into recovery manually after Odin was done. TWRP loaded up that time and I immediately did my nandroid backup of stock unrooted.

Thank you for your reply. I ended up re-installing the stock firmware/recovery and then flashed TWRP v2.7.0.2 with Odin v3.09. It did the auto reboot, got the pass, then I turned the device off. I tried to boot up in recovery but let go of the buttons too soon, so it booted into OS again (woops). Second time was a charm though, got it to boot into recovery and TWRP booted right up. Yay. I did try to install TWRP v2.7.0.2 before I re-installed the stock firmware, but still wouldn't boot TWRP.
Hi, this is not my first time flashing TWRP on this phone. And I have been successful so far.
Today I use Odin to flash TWRP, and it went through just fine (see screenshot), but when I enter the recovery mode, it says "Android system recovery <3e> LMY47X.G920FXXU2COH2 on top and I am very confused. I tried a few times and apparently I cannot enter TWRP while Odin kept telling me I have flashed it successfully...
Did you have "Auto-Reboot" ticked on Odin? On my Note 4 that used to mean the kernel would reflash the stock recovery upon booting. You need to untick this, turn the S6 off after flashing and then boot directly into recovery using power + home + vol up
Nope. On the S6 auto-reboot menas what it does. The phone gets rebooted after the flash is done.
To the OP: You used the correct file to flash? USed AP mode in ODIN?
I had same problem. I think you need to have rooted kernel through odin first. Idk, that us what i did.
Just so everyone knows how I solved this. I wiped everything and flash TWRP and it worked. I am not sure why, but that's how I got it to work.
I have earlier installed cwm recovery in my phone, but now i am unable to boot in recovery
then i successfully flashed it with odin but again unable to boot in recovery by pressing volume up,down, power and home button
but rom manager sucessfully booted in recovery
I asked a similar question,it seems people in this fourm are not intrested..anyways try do go to download mode and flash ...otherwise use usb jig method to go into download mode....

I tried to put Cyanogenmod 12 on my lg volt with twrp. It sent me to teamwin recovery 1st I couldnt get out of that. Then I looked it up online and it said to download a recovery.img file. After I did that it rebooted into cwm recovery mode and i formatted and wiped everything and it still reboots back into cwm recovery. Now im stuck in cwm recovery and when i try to hold vol down and power button it says factory resetting in progress and goes right back to cwm recovery.

It seems to me that you wiped your OS. If that is what you did then you'll have to flash a custom ROM or you can flash your stock firmware via PC, you'll have to root and install custom recovery again after flashing stock firmware.
