Having trouble entering recovery via button method - E6683 - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys
i have just got a Z5 E6683 and have successfully rooted and installed TWRP. however if i try to boot using the buttons (vol down + power) i get the lylic LED and im just stuck at the white sony boot screen. i can boot into recovery just fine via the quck boot app on my phone but it just wont boot into it via the button method.
does anyone know how to get it to boot into recovery because i need to restore a backup and would love to be able to boot into recovery via the buttons in case my phone doesnt boot after the restore.
FYI: i installed TWRP via fastboot using command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
im using stock android 7 firmware (.376)
cheers

[Solved]
Ok i was able to find out why its was doing that, i would appear that i had flashed the wrong recovery hence why it was having trouble booting, anyway fixed it by downloading and flashing this recovery via fastboot

can boot recovery from fastboot but can't flash!

Hey guys,
My friend is having some issues with getting twrp on his new oneplus one:
the bootloader was succesfully unlocked and we tried flashing the twrp recovery on it (both the latest version and the previous version) fastboot said that it was succesfull but when we tried to boot the recovery by holding power + volume down the device hung on a black screen and needed to be restarted, and this happens everytime! However if we do fastboot boot openrecovery....img it takes a while but the recovery boots just fine!
what's going on here? can anyone tell me why it won't boot a flashed recovery?
I have the same issue as you, and yet to find an solution. Try using Philz Touch or CWM instead, both worked for me.

Many people don't know the correct procedure to boot into recovery using the button combination, what you need to do is first hold volume down, then hold power as well, the phone will vibrate and you'll see the OnePlus splash screen, after about a second you can let go of the power button and keep holding volume down until it boots into recovery. If you continue to good the power button after seeing the splash screen the device becomes confused and thinks you're trying a hard reset.

[Q] I can't reboot onto recovery

Hi! I'm trying to install a cm rom in my xt926, I have the bootloader and, aparently, I can flash properly the custom recovery, but when I try to reboot onto recovery it doesn't work, shows the motorola logo and, after 1 or 2 minutes, reboot normally, and I canĀ“t enter the recovery to flash the cm rom... Anyone can help me? I don't know what else to do... A lot of thanks.
Sorry for my bad english
I have this Problem as well! Stock KK on XT926 build 183.46.10.XT926.Verizon.en.US. I've tried all the methods I could find.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is and you can really flash recovery while in fastboot mode - what do you do after that? Reboot the phone into Android and then try to reboot into recovery? If you're doing that, then that's the problem.
You need to reboot to recovery straight from fastboot, otherwise the stock system deletes the custom recovery. When you flash the recovery - unplug the cable and just press the power button once and the phone will turn off. Then hold Volume UP + Power and the boot menu will show up and then you select recovery and you should be good to go
Solved!
I've found the solution! I've flashed the wrong recovery. My stock rom is kit kat 4.4.2, this recovery works very fine

Unable to boot into recovery (cold boot) Motorola Moto G 4G

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.

TWRP not booting

hi,
i have installed a custom rom on my D850. The ROM is working properly but im not able to boot into TWRP. When i boot into recovery using adb or using the button combo, it shows the TWRP splash screen and gets stuck.
Im not able to reinstall the twrp image using flashify / twrp manager and other apps. im not even able to enter fastboot. When i type adb reboot fastboot it just reboots the device.
Any help is appreciated.
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.
