[Solved] Can't Boot Into Recovery! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I have an S7 from AT&T. I'm not bricked or rooted, only debloated. Amidst all this debloating, I fear I have disabled something which recovery mode requires to work. I hold down the power button + volume down and I'm put into a loop of Samsung logos.
Does anyone know what needs to be enabled for recovery to function? Here is a list of everything I have disabled:
It is not "asurion.android.mobilerecovery.att", that is an AT&T recovery app.

What if it bootloops?

Alright, I currently have a HTC Aria running CM9, I was going to purchase an HTC One X from AT&T. However, I have one question. If I root it, and the device begins to bootloop or hangs for any reason, how will I stop it? I wouldn't be able to remove the battery....

How would you go about that? Just power button and down volume button? Sorry, on my current phone the volume is broke, so I have to do it through CWM

also you can push power button for 10 seconds or more, with a bit of luck phone will turn off.
But after that you still need volume button ...
I understand now, I didn't realize that there was a kill switch and that after holding the power button down for 10 seconds, the device turns off.

Galaxy S6 G920V Unable to boot into recovery mode

Hi!
I’ve ran into a weird scenario. I have the Galaxy S6 G920V, I received the official 6.0.1 update, upon installing it my phone entered a boot loop.
I can reach the download menu (home + power + volume down), I also can reach the Maintenance Boot Mode menu (Holding the power button + volume down), but I can’t reach the recovery mode (home + power + volume up).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
Hey did you ever get this figured out? I have the same problem!!

Just in case you missed something it takes a while to load the recovery menu. So I FIRST press and hold the Volume Up and Home Key and then hold the power button for 20 seconds and then you will see the Samsung logo and it will say its installing some update and then it says failed and it goes to the recovery menu. So it take about two to three minutes.
I have the same problem. I did a erase and reset in the recovery menu, factory reset in the maintenance menu but it did not help. My phone continues to go to the boot loop. It happen a few days after the new Android update. I am scared to load the Verizon stock using ODIN because my phone is still covered under warranty and I dont want to even take a 1% chance of voiding the warranty

Use Odin. It should not void warranty. I have never had a warranty issue with Odin over the last few phones.

Try to hold all buttons of your phone down for about 10 seconds and then your phone should restart itself.
Force your device to reboot by holding volume down, home button and power button at the same time. Hold the buttons down until the device reboots.
From then you can attempt to flash stock firmware via Odin and then making sure that you have enabled OEM unlock in developer options and that you have the correct TWRP for your device (Check MD5, to make sure it isn't corrupted)
Didn't help!

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 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!

Download mode

Hello.
What kind of combination of keys enter the "download mode" mode?
Vol down plus power does not work on the off U12 +, and under the system it even diminishes in dignity despite pressing "power".
Vol UP and power also does not work.
Boot to Bootloader and than select Download Mode with volume buttons (working for me).
From system you can try:
adb reboot download
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(not checked)
Since u12+ has no physical button,and the edge sense doesn't support combine key,the method to enter the bootloader is special.
STEP.1 Press POWER button for 10s to hard reboot,you should feel a long vibration.
STEP.2 When you feel the vibration,press the VOL DOWN button immediately.Keep pressing it until you enter the bootloader.
STEP.3 Use VOL UP&DOWN to switch,POWER to enter

Thank you, for me step 3 is VOL UP. I tested it again and it is confirmed.
An other method for me is POWER OFF and then restart with POWER BUTTON pressed until vibration and then press VOL UP.

Good question. I am missing a twrp developing thread as there are already guys testing, but they only posted in the ordering threads:crying:
It works a little bit different on all treble A/B enabled devices. Those got two boot images, boot_a and boot_b, and don't have a recovery partition any more, as it got incorporated into the boot partitions, and is thus sharing it's space with the kernel. All previous device as well as treble A-only ones still had a separate recovery partition. But that very fact changed with such devices as the U12+ which got full treble support with seamless updates.

Has anyone succeed to run the stock recovery?
After booting in recovery mode I see a red triangle and cannot get any further. Power+VolUp and any other key combinations seems doesn't work.

The haptic keys don't work in combination, only one-at-a-time, so there must be some other way.

Lol, I take it this is your first Android phone? That's the normal stock Recovery. As it was said before, combination of buttons do not work. In Bootloader and Download Mode the volume buttons are switching selections and power selects the highlighted option.

On the older HTC's you could hold volume up and down then press power to enter the stock recovery options. I remember doing this with the M8 I think, it's been quite a while. Lets see if I remember how to embedd images, lol
Nope, lol

Yes I understand that part for combo buttons to enter recovery, bootloader and download. Now it is power down and restart holding down volume down button. However there is nothing to do while in stock recovery.

I didn't explain fully, my bad. When you accessed the stock recovery with the red triangle with the exclamation mark, that's when you held power down, up and press power to access the screen shot I attached before. Those were the stock recovery options.
It's irrelevant at this point since I don't think they include those options anymore for the newer stock recoveries. I could be wrong though.
I haven't tried to boot into the stock recovery in years so I haven't checked if it was included in the latest phones. I'm supposed to get my 12 today, I'll try to play around and see if it's included in this one, but I'm not holding my breath.
Edit: I love your themes BTW.

This works on all HTC devices prior to 12+. The question is only about the subj phone.
Easiest way - From powered off state, hold Vol down button and connect the usb cable to either power outlet or a PC, will boot to download/recovery/ etc .

There is no problem to boot into FastBoot mode and then choose any other option: Download/Recovery/System.
The issue is that I can't pass Recovery Red Triangle. HTC support also recommends to hold Power while pressing VolUP, but this does not work on U12+ with the haptic buttons.
