rooted but can't get to custom recovery

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.

"Unbrick" your phone, easy.(Wiped OS with TWRP) Stuck on Huawei Logo help

Hello Guys,
since i saw a a bunch of posts with: "Help stucked on bootlogo" , "wiped OS", etc. ,
and i've done it by my selfe ^^ ,
I found the answer, so you need a working TWRP, and a SD-Card with a good /dload folder.
Go to the TWRP with power on key and at the same time vol + (up).
Now go to Reboot and Bootloader
now you flash the standard recovery.
Like you flashed the TWRP just with the restoration Recovery.img .
All you need is inside of this link provided by Hirs_E_Fruit from his Root Guide.
If you have finaly done flashing the stock recovery you can shutdown your phone and start it with power key + vol+ and vol-
all three at the same time for a solid amout of time idk about 8 sek or so i normaly release the power key after 5 seconds +-.
yea then you should see a blue circle a usb plug in middel of it and some chinese writing.
Hope this will help someone
Have Fun and Good Luck

Hard bricked my Samsung Galaxy Gt-I 8262

I wanted to install lollicop ROM that I downloaded from a thread in this forum.

VERSION: I 8262XXBNH1
HW REV: 8
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

and below it a green Android logo followed by
Downloading......
Do not disconnect USB cable during the software update!
I tried everything,
Volume up+ home+ power
Volume down+home+power
Removed battery
Connected to PC with kies installed but Odin couldn't detect it so can't install recovery from PC
fastboot is not detecting my device
installed latest drivers for Galaxy core but still nothing
Please show me a way if I could do anything with the help of phone or my PC
I don't want to change motherboard guys please help:crying:

This happened to me. You might have gone in recovery using rashr. Just use volume dn+ home + power until you see warning keep holding vol dn and home but leave the power when phone vibrate.
Note - keep holding the two until you see a warning and press vol up on warning. Odin will detect you

But You need odin
---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------
And restart using it
---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------
If works pls like

finally solved it
if other users facing same problem here is the solution stepwise
1. install samsung drivers from the original website of samsung only or from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956, there are a lot of drivers available on the internet don't pay attention on them, they don't work
2. download odin latest version
3. go into download mode- switch off the device
long press volume down+power+home button simultaneously, when the phone vibrates or something comes on screen, leave all butten,
you'll see a screen with two options
1. continue
2. restart phone
press volume up key for continue, now you see a logo of android and downloadin on screen-- hurrey- you're in download mode
4. connect your phone to pc with an original data cable
5. odin will detect your device where the ID is written, if it doesn't change port or usb
6. install twrp recovery on your phone with odin, download it from this post its working http://www.techdroider.com/2015/01/cwm-twrp-update-galaxy-core-i8262.html. chose PDA or AP option
7. when the odin displays pass disconnect phone
8. go into recovery mode- long press volume up+power+home all simultaneoulsy
when the logo of smasung appears leave the power key but keep pressing the volume up and home key
9. now you're in recovery mode, choose the download stock or custom rom from sd card,
there are other method too but i prefer this one, bcz its hasslefree and once you've installed custom recovery you don't need pc or any other thing to update or change your rom or whatever plus twrp supports touchscreen.
Thanks twrp and XDA for saving my money

WoW Alhamdulillah thanks brother :*
I have the same problem with you
You have saved my life and my money ^_^

S8 plus G955F won't boot after switch\odin

Hello guys!
Two days ago I was punched by a problem with my g955f: I bought it from my friend, I wiped it completely and I wanted to update it via Smart switch.I flashed the stock firmware with switch, the process was 100% succeded and then the phone tryed to boot up but everytime he pass the first screen with s8 plus galaxy text, he arrives at the second bootlogo with just the samsung text and then he restart itself continuously.
I flashed also a firmware with odin..I fully charged the phone and then tryed again with Smart Switch but the same problem still persist.I don't know what else I can do, I have no warranty because the back pannel is broken so what else I can do by myself? Anyone has been met with this strange problem?
Thank you guys !

You tried installing twrp with odin
---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------
However there are all the directions on YouTube, try to see that you find, I also had this problem but I only tried with Odin. You have to download the right firmware for both the model and the nation, following the directions with Odin you should succeed.

Hello, thank you for your reply !
I already tried with the right firmware by searching it after csc and pda, I tried with anything else, I tried with smart switch but everytime the flashing process ends up successfull but the phone is continuously restarting, not even a first boot..

hello
is it fully charged?

Hello,
Yes it is fully charged and he keep restarting until he drains the entire battery

Have you tried installing twrp with odin? Or is twrp already installed?

I tried to install twrp and then flash a custom rom.Everything went succesfully(the flash process) but when the phone tried to boot up for the first time it went in the infinitly restart..
I mention that I choosed the corect twrp for my g955f.

There is only one way to start in twrp. Hold down the volume button - and power, the screen shuts off for 2 or 3 seconds, then you have to press volume + bixby and power at the same time until twrp appears. Then install it as by procedure. I did this and it works

if you have no guarantee...
you can try a combination file and see if it can boot
just ask google for one for g955f

I tried with the combination file one day ago..but I ended up into a screen like "KERNEL PANIC MODE" .He is entering in this screen when he's trying to boot up.

HELP HELP
hello, I saw your post on the problem that you had with your galaxy s8 after flashing it, I had the same problem and I need a solution if you have found on plaise help me
at the beginning I had a problem with the bootload after having made the last update, my phone reboot constantly (bootloops), then I flashed it with Odin, and I get another problem, after the flash the systems update stops at 32% ===== erasing then it restarts again, I even tried the PIT flash method it does not work

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.
