I flashed TWRP on my tecno W3 using sp flash tool, after it went successfully, i powered my phone into recovery mode with the right combination of keys. But it wont boot into anything, but when i power it into normal mode, it goes successfully..and then i switch off and boot into recovery mode with the same combination of keys i used after flashing, it end up into stock recovery. It's like my phone is locked from booting into custom recoveries(even after unlocking the bootloader), and then it overwrites the custom recovery with stock after booting into normal mode. Is there any way i can get my phone to accept custom recoveries, and i have no root thats why im trying to flash a custom recovery first.
Also: I tried to use adb to boot into fastboot mode and boot into the same custom recovery i have by the command: fastboot boot <filename.img here>..but i didnt boot into anything, it just boot normally like i restarted my phone. I even tried to flash the img file in fastboot mode and then boot up with the fastboot command mentioned above, but it just boots into normal mode.

Did you install SU/Magisk after you flashed TWRP?This can usually prevent this issue.

No, just TWRP. It flashed successfully, but the phone won't boot to anything, and when i force it to boot into recovery mode after flashing a custom recovery, it doesn't do anything, it just stucks in the Hi logo with a red exclamation mark...and i usually have to press the volume + and power button to get to the menu, but the menu for the custom recovery i just flashed fails to pop up. After that, i boot into normal, and it overwrites the custom with stock recovery again (can tell from when i boot into recovery again after booting into normal by bringing up stock recovery)..
I used the recovery i ported myself using calvik image kitchen tool.
My phone does it too. The TWRP asks me if it has to be reinstalled, if default recovery is taking its place. Flash SU or magisk in your recovery immediately after TWRP.

Hi all,
I have successfully rooted and installed CM12 on my Motorola Moto G 4G. I was unable to get into recovery so I download ROM manager to boot into recovery and thats how I installed CM12.
CM12 is stuck in a boot loop so I want to install CM11 or go back to Stock but I cannot get into recovery now. If I boot up with power and vol down I am taken to a fastboot screen which has an option to goto recovery (second option down) but this simply boots back into the device.
I was using CMW but I installed TWRP and now this simply takes me to a blank screen (or it could be powered off).
Can anybody advise how I can boot into recovery? (I am still able to use fastboot commands).
Thanks!
Just find a working recovery image and flash it (TWRP 2.7.1 works for me), also make sure you are using the right controls in the fastboot menu, they're tricky
Use fastboot to reflash recovery. After a successful flash, use the button combo on the fastboot screen to boot into recovery.
XDA,
I am trying to root the stock rom (Cyanogen OS 12.10YOG4PAS1N0). I have thus far managed to unlock the bootloader and am now trying to install a custom recovery - here I run into some problems:
So I downloaded the latest TWRP and renamed it recovery.img - pressed 'fastboot erase recovery' and then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' -all going fine.
I then unhook the phone, turn it off - press volume down and the power button to boot straight into recovery (not even booting OS) and here's where it gets interesting:
The 1+ logo appears, as if its trying to boot recovery - it hangs for 10s, then the screen goes black and it vibrates. The 1+ logo appears again and it boots straight into OS.
If I keep pressing volume down I am in a loop like this, with 1+ logo, screen black and so on.
So I never actually get into the custom recovery. And if I boot into the OS and press restart into recovery: I get stock recovery.
I've tried CWM. TWRP, Philz, the toolkit, manually - lots of things. I turned off overwrite custom recovery in the developer options - all to no avail.
I hope someone recognizes this problem and can help me out.
Thanks a million,
Michiel.
Not sure if this is your issue, but go to this thread on how to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root. See the note in underline at the bottom of item #2, installing the custom recovery. I was unable to get TWRP to stick until I followed this simple method.
Yes, I tried this but when I power the phone down and boot it with the powerbutton and volume button - it hangs on the OPO logo and reboots again into the OS.
So here is the thing, i flashed LineageOS and rooted my device. When i tried to uninstall a substratum theme and i rebooted, the phone is stuck in the boot screen. I can get into bootloader mode. When i try to get into Custom Recovery mode, the Google logo comes up, and again it is stuck in the boot screen. I just need to get into recovery mode somehow ,so i can restore using the backup i have. Help Me.
Which recovery were you using? If it's not booting at all, I'd flash TWRP to the recovery partition with whatever tool you use.
If using SDK tools, 'fastboot flash recovery [custom recovery image file]' will do it from the command line.

OK i got inside twrp using adb and then restored my device. Its working fine. The problem now is i cant boot into recovery mode via bootloader mode. If i click the recovery mode it boots into OS.
So now im little scared to flash again to Lineage OS using bootloader mode. So what should i do to solve this problem and get into recovery mode without using ADB.
Hello guys.
Like the title says, I can't boot directly into recovery mode after flashing twrp. I know the combination for booting into recovery mode but it automatically forces it to boot normally. I have to power off my phone after it starts normally to boot into recovery mode. But the problem is that the twrp disappears after it starts normally after the flash because u have to get instantly into the recovery mode (I think.) so it doesn't reset.
Modelnumber: SM-A510F
It worked at first, but there was also a problem with the recovery system because it always showed "No Command". I didn't use the latest version of odin and twrp. I only followed a guide with download links for this model. The odin flash succeded btw. I hope for some help here.
Thanks.

When you flash TWRP, after it flashes, you then have to boot into recovery before you boot to any of your device's other modes, if you allow the device to boot into any other mode BEFORE booting to recovery, it will revert back to stock recovery. The very next thing you have to do after flashing TWRP is to boot immediately into recovery before you do anything else, then it will keep TWRP recovery.
Flash the TWRP recovery via fastboot, then type the command:
adb reboot recovery
Or
Flash TWRP via fastboot then disconnect the device and power the device off, then press and hold the correct button combination to boot into recovery.
