Automatically jumping into Recovery

I turn off my phone and hold down the volume button along side the power button. It will automatically go into Hboot and take me to this page. I just want to add another ROM I have in the root folder.
Power => Reflash
Vol - DN => DIAG

Have you deleted the img file from the root of the SD card yet? You need to get that off before going into recovery. I assume you have CWR (clockwork recovery) installed.
Also, try plugging in your phone to your computre and type adb reboot recovery.

I removed the file and the same issue.
Prior to getting to that reflash and diag page it briefly shows another page that sounds update in progress, jumping to diag

Alright, problem has been resolved. I ended up deleting the wrong file. Should have double checked!

[Q] Need help to root XT925 on JB 4.1.2

I want to root my XT925 on JB 4.1.2 (fido). So, I follow 0mega1's method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118483
1. unlocked bootloader;
2. flashed epinter's CWM recovery
3. install supersu.
I have tried for 3 weeks, but failed.
the supersu is not installed, showing " no su binary, supersu cannot install it"
Would someone please help. tell me the process step by step. I am new for Android.
Question: after flashing epinter's CWM recovery, the phone in still in AP fastboot state, what shall I do? Just simply press the power button to go to the normal phone state?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes, press the power button to turn off the device; But Are you sure you have CWM recovery installed??
if yes, did you get the file in the link? It´s not install superSU from market, you must install via CWM the file in the link; I attached the file to simplify you the thing.
Save it to the root of your SD, turn off your phone, press both volume keys and power at the same time 2sec to be sure and drop the power button first and after the 2 volume keys; use - Volume to move to RECOVERY and pres + Volume to select.
I u have CWM Recovery it should appear, use it to install the file attached and you are rooted.

[Q] Unable to load recovery - XT925

Hey guys. I can't seem to get into Recovery on my XT925 for the life of me.
From power off, I press Power + Vol Up to get the boot selection screen, select "recovery" from the list, and the phone reboots into the OS.
I've flashed both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Different versions of each too. But every time I hit "Recovery" it loads the OS and I can't flash any ROMS.
Another weird thing. When I'm in Fastboot and enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it just reboots into Fastboot again.
Can anyone help?

i dont know what the problem is but you could try downloading rom manager, it has an option to reboot into recovery, and see what happens.

I'm having the same problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted my 4.1.2 stock rom, installed ROM Manager, flashed the recovery, and when it goes into Recovery, I get an Android with it's belly open, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. It stays there 1 minute, and it boots. I've tried everything. Any help is appreciated.
Tks

That screen is your stock recovery. Hold vol+ and tap pwr at the same time and you'll boot into recovery. Also, after you install the recovery, you need to immediately boot into it so the update binary can complete. Otherwise, your stock recovery will over ride. Honestly, it's just easier to flash a recovery in fastboot. That's the option I've used every time.

I flashed the recovery, booted into Recovery from ROM Manager, but I get the same screen, and no key combination is able to get me into recovery.
I'm actually trying to install CyanogenMod. I downloaded cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. To flash it through fastboot, every example uses an IMG file, not the zip file. To flash it through fastboot, should I unzip cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and flash the boot.img inside it? Or just rename .zip from .img?
Tks

Sweet! Good to see you got it to work. I'm not sure why, but ROM manager doesn't always seem to work.

I'm not able to enter in recovery mode using key combination pwr + vol key up and down (pressed simultaneously).
I'm only able to do this using CMW manager (Reboot into recovery). I've flash (using fastboot) recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt925.img, but it not accessible using key combination and relative menu (If the menu choose to boot into recovery mode, it start full boot and go into OS).
I've flashed CM10, but for access to recovery i've used CMW manager. I want to have the opportunity to enter directly into recovery in case of bad flash.
Where I'm wrong?
Thanks a lot

So you get the : normal pwr, rec, & etc list but when you scroll vol down & then vol up to select the recovery it boot normal?
I use : all keys hold till screen out. Then while keeping on both vol toggle pwr off , on & off. Boot menu list.
If that fails, post your sequence of events.

OK. So. This is the sequence:
1. Power key + Vol UP and DOWN pressed at the same time i'm able to show menu with "Recovery" option into list (others are AP Fastboot, Normal PWR, ecc)
2. Using Vol UP/DOWN key i go to Recovery option end press Power key
..phone start normally...not into recovery. I'm able to start recovery only using CWM manger or ADB.
My current recovery is ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.4
Thanks

You are not reading!
Final action vol up to select!
Tougher than stock recovery! I guess the bootloader engineers never used their own recovery.

the right way
power + home + vol up

By holding the "home button + vol -" keep holding until you see twrp
OR
Depending on the carrier you have sometimes the recovery mode the first time is the hard reset screen.
Before you do this back up your device
if you installing it right, hold the "home button + vol -" when you booting it up once you see it your manufacturer logo, let go of your home button then press it again, keep holding the vol -.
Now, you should now should see the hard reset screen, use the volume key to move and now press yes for everything and then twrp will boot up.
Disclaimer i don't have this device

I have a J500F version, found the solution.
Uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin, then do the "installing", after that unplug your device and just simply remove the battery, then replace it.
If you're done then Volume up + Home + Power button will get you into TWRP.

You need to restart the device in TWRP right after the flash with Odin or the default recovery will be reinstalled. To do this just uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin and right after the PASS message appears in Odin and following the instructions on the site: https://www.**********.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-on-android-7-0-nougat/ : "Press and hold Volume Down + Home + Power key on your device and as soon as the screen goes black, move your finger ad switch from the Volume Down to the Volume Up key immediately while keeping the Power + Home Key pressed. So the combination as soon as the screen goes back should be Power + Home + Volume Up. Your device should boot into TWRP recovery."
I did this by following this instructions to install TWRP on my S6 G920i and it worked.
Forgot to mention that you need to also install Magisk before restarting on the factory ROM or the device will go into bootloop. This is not necessary if you are installing LineageOS.
