[Q] How to boot in recovery console on Lenovo A5000 - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
title speaks for itself
I have tried every single method that came up from google:
Recovery Mode Lenovo A5000
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Power Key for a few seconds
Release all key when Android Recovery Mode appears
Use Volume keys to select
Use Power key to confirm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The combination should be-->
-->Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- (Yes,both volume buttons).
If by using this combination the phone just shutdowns or restarts.....Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- >Release all buttons when the Lenovo logo (the first static logo) disappears.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...or use a sequence--> Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- -->Release only the Power button when the Lenovo logo appears-->Keep on pressing both Volume(+&-) buttons until you enter the recovery mode.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
don't remove your fingers until it boots up.. much better if you press first the volume keys before you power on.. keep pressing all together until it opens. or you might end up booting the chinese recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With Vol Up+Power button managed to get this:
Select boot mode:
[VOLUME_UP to select. VOLUME_DOWN is OK>]
[Recovery Mode] <<==
[Fastboot Mode]
[Normal boot]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can change selection with Vol Up (move arrow), but neither Vol Down or Power button acts like OK button

Tried to reboot to recovery from app it returns "no command" error.
After that i found what is key combination (i think) hold down volume up and down and power button. after 5+ seconds release power button, but keep pressing volume buttons. But no command error again.
I really need recovery console, cuz i want to install xposed but if i get stuck in bootloop will...well, will get stuck

Well, also tried to plug-in USB cable while holding Volume UP ad Volume DOWN buttons, to see will it shows in adb. Result is "no command" again. But i can see device attached when using build-in cd-rom + usb debug enabled

For me , Button Combination never Works Exactly , but when i Reboot into Recovery (using Rashr app etc) , then same No Command Window Appears and then i Press Power Button Again and Recovery Window Appears... No Command Error Shows , Simply Press Power Button again Like for 0.5 Seconds , Recovery Screen Shows Up, Works for me.. ...
And also me Using Same 4.4.2 , i installed Xposed (Not From Recovery) and Never Got a Bootloop...
For Now i am using TWRP , Working Well , But Still Button Combination is Really Annoying For me...

Yeah I have very large fingers and those damn buttons are very small lol so its aggravating, but a real life saver when everything is frozen rock solid ..try that button combo on an LG g4 , its taken me an hour of reboots to finally get to recovery, why put such tiny hardware buttons on the back of the phone ffs
Through my ancient eyes comes the certainty of decay... LG G4 & L 70

Thanks guys, but i've managed to flash TWRP recovery and don't have No command error, anymore

Need help

Power Off Your Mobile , Now Press Vol+ , Vol- and Power Button all At the Same Time Until your Phone starts again and you See Lenovo Logo (Below Written Powered By Android) , then after 5 Seconds Release All .... Now wait , and you'r in Recovery Now .... Works For me...
Or you can Try "adb reboot recovery" , this one works for me too...
If None of these Working , then Re-flash Recovery and Check again (Try flashing Recovery Using different Method Like using Rashr App)...

Hey guys do you hapen to have a solution to my problem:
My A5000 won't shut down properly, it doesn't vibrate at the end of power off process and from that moment on it gives no any further life signs... I somehow managed to turn it back on but it totally drained my battery over night... (btw i turned it back on by simply holding power button for approx. 20 seconds)

and then my xoom stuck at "entering nvflash recovery mode".
my,question,how exit thaht mode?
i can't adb cause my pc not recognise my xoom.
please,help me to figure out.
thankyou
*PS:-my xoom is m600 [wifi-3g/verizon-usa version]
can you reboot the device? if yes does it stuck on reboot without pressing buttons?
if you cant turn of the device with the power button just press power + vol up at the same time for 3 sec
now it should turn off
this may help you
Here is how I was able to get into different booting modes.
1. Power down
2. Power up and wait for the M sign to show up
3. Press volume down, nvFlash will display, press volume down again, RSD mode will display, press volume down again, fastboot mode will display.
4. Press volume up to select fastboot
5. Go ahead and flash the kernel that you like to restore
can you change the booting mode by pressing vol down?

thanks for your quick response..
yes,i can reboot/powerr off by power+vol UP.
but if only press power button to turn off ,nothing happens.
EDIT:-try this method and no success.
I don't know if I got something wrong up there, but since you didn't flash anything and were just playing around with vol up/down, you should not have to flash anything...
What happens if you just reset your xoom by holding vol up + power for 3 seconds and after that just wait? Imo your xoom should just boot back into android and everything should be fine...
he don´t has to flash something
i am not sure if he wasnt able to turn of the device... and reboot it or something else...
the points for flashing r optional - if he wants to change the kernel or something

Try holding Vol up + PWR for 3 seconds and release, you should see the Motorola logo.
Can you tell us what happened before the xoom went off, or if you have loaded a custom ROM some time ago.

Let the battery go all the way down. Then put it on charge and try to boot-up.
Can you get into fastboot mode? If so, you should be able to reboot into your OS.

Solution : Recovery Mode Problem - Android logo lying down with a red sign.

And here am here showing how to fix the problem of recovery mode of not showing any recovery options when entering recovery mode.
You may enter recover mode with CWM or from system recovery mode by holding down vol up + vol down + lock key or in Samsung by vol up and home key or whatever yours is.
Then many people complains about not showing any options instead of Android logo lying down with a red attention sign.
It is not a problem or error basically it is locked basically what you will do to solve is :
1) Press vol up and vol down key at the same time. And hold for few seconds (this may work on most devices)
2) Simultaneously press both the vol up and down keys (try this if first didn't worked)
3) If both didn't worked try combining the both step given above and this will show you the options.
Instruction - To scroll press up and down press vol up and vol down keys respectively.
Note - Touch keys don't work in recovery mode. :thumbup:

Recovery mode - Device buttons are not working

I have a micromax doodle 4 (Q391) with broken power and volume down buttons and its stuck in boot logo. So whenever I connect my phone to charger it will turn on and just keep showing the logo. However, I'm managed to enter recovery mode to reset device or wipe data BUT as I mentioned the power button is not working to select nor the volume button is working around to highlight options. Since its stuck in bootloop, I can't even enable usb debugging.
Btw, the battery can't be removed in this model. All I have is a reset button, volume up button and If i give some hard push on volume down its working sometimes. Some help would be very useful. Thank you.
After the vibration that you notice at the time you start your mobile you need to hold down the volume down button first (don't press both of them simultaneously) and then press and hold down the power button to boot into recovery menu.

I have a broken power button but I'm able to boot into recovery in a different way. My question is "How to select options in recovery mode with power button not working?".
Visit a nearby micromax service center and get it repaired I don't own a micromax but I hope that the price for repairs are nominal.
How ??

[SOLVED] Lenovo A536 - how to reboot to recovery mode

Hello, I have a big problem with rebooting to recovery mode. I can reboot to recovery only with application. If I turn my phone off and then hold volume up + power, then I get black screen with only one yellow Chinese text on the very top left side and then after 1 minute it's get into Chinese recovery.. My question is: how to get into custom recovery without using applications like for example "Quick boot".
I need it, because I have to install ROM again, because I did a big mistake, when I deleted one file from the "system" folder. Now my phone boot without problem, but after that everything is lagging and all applications stop working, then it automatically reboot phone..
I can't flash firmware with SP Flash Tool, because of Windows drivers. My laptop does not recognize the phone. It says: "Unknown USB device".. That's why I need to get into custom recovery for installing ROM.
Thank you in advance for help.
This helped:
With the phone powered off
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button
When phone vibrates release power button only.
As the No Comman Screen release all buttons.
Press and hold the power button and tap the Volume Up button.
Release the buttons. You must get into recovery mode.

but all I seem to be able to do is reboot into system.
I :-
hold power button for 1 sec, 2 secs, 3 sec.... trying to just turn it off (instead of reboot)
hold vol down + power button,
hold power button + tap volume down,
just hold vol down,
tap power button (does nothing), only long press restarts.
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + tap pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down + hold pwr button
hold power button till screen goes black and then hold vol down on its own
search forum
pull hair out
type this
each time reinstalling twrp
any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
thanks
To reboot to recovery you need to hold volume UP + power.

well that's strange, as, on my device, from off:
Volume UP + power takes me to download mode... I have done this several times and it asks me to confirm by then pressing down.
AND, from off
Volume DOWN + power takes me to recovery.
and doing a search, via google and xda all agree with me.
.. but thanks
I never said I couldn't get into recovery... I cannot get from odin into recovery without it first rebooting and therefore wiping my flash.
edit: So I tried it anyway, and got back into download mode, which in a way is kinda good news as, my logic, if I can get back into download mode from a reboot then I should be able to get into recovery from a reboot.
Same same but slightly different

I am having the exact same problems and tried exactly the same things. I am just not able to install twrp because of this. ( I read that it overwrites the recovery with the stock one when you are not going straight into recovery mode after installation) I am stuck at the “Samsung Galaxy note 10.1” screen if try to go straight into recovery.
What is strange though is that with my device: VOLDown (towards the power button) + Power button takes me to download mode and the other combination supposedly to the recovery mode.
This is so frustrating. Done this so many times with other devices but this one just does not give up… I just want to get rid of all bloatware and other crap…..

I've given up, for now, tried every combination I could think... I have a sneaky feeling it must be rooted first. It is the only thing I haven't tried doing.
I am now trying to root it first

I am currently doing just that! Using the files from autoroot . chainfire . eu (can not post links yet haha) . I will let you know how it went!
UPDATE:
It worked! I rooted my device first. After that I flashed my recovery via the TWRP app. I also must say that my device is the GT-N8010 (p4notewifixx). I got confused of all the different models. Still I think it will work with your model aswell! Good luck!
