So I used casual to install twrp and everything seemed to be working great. I was having some issues before but I figured out odin not that tough but I was able to get back to stock so casual would work. Anyways My phone is stuck at the dirty unicorns splash screen. The logo is moving but I cannot shut off the phone without a battery pull. Is there a key command to get back into twrp? If I hold down home, vol dwn, and power it goes into odin mode. Do I have to load stock and try again? What is my next move?

Three finger combos:
Download mode: Volume down, home, and power
Recovery (CWM or TWRP): Volume up, home, and power

Happy to help! Hope you get that situation all squared away.
full stock, unrooted, GT-P5110
... connect to odin (3.12 PC)-> uncheck auto reboot -> install twrp -> PASS -> unplug cable from usb
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 now trying to root it first

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!
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

(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.
Hello,
sorry that I have to bother you with this.
I had a S6 (G920F) with Maniacx Ressurection Remix Unofficial OREO 6.10 , with Magisk 7.10 and TWRP 3.2.1 running.
Because of a problem with calls, I flashed a .zip that fixed the problem before (it's CallAudioFix.zip in that thread – can't find it right now, but I can look for it later if it's any help). That sent my phone into a bootloop.
My problem is that I can't boot into Recovery or Download mode. Windows (in a VirtualBox) finds a SAMSUNG_Android device per USB, but ODIN can't find it (doesn't show anything under ID:COM). ADB in my terminal finds the phone, but it shows it as unauthorized, so I can't use it, either.
I appreciate any help – thanks in advance!

Thanks for your tip, didn't work for me, sadly. If I press and hold the combination for the recovery, I get back into my bootloop. If I press the combination for download mode, nothing happens until I hold it for too long and trigger the battery disconnect (volume down + power).

I'll rather avoid trying to remove the battery for that.
If I hold all buttons, I can only get the "Samsung S6" screen to flash for a second before it goes off and on again (tried for a minute as you suggested).
I tried holding the combos before the kernel screen, directly at it and holding it for a minute, but it only sends me back to the bootloop. Also, I don't get any text on the kernel screen.
Guess I have to keep trying around for a bit...
Try after that flash appears for second to press combo fast i remember that worked for me at same state of bootloop

You can boot into recovery without having to plug into a computer by holding power + volume up, and then once you get to the "this device is unlocked, press power key to continue" screen, rather than just waiting for that screen to disappear, press the power key and then you should be taken to recovery... at least, that's how I was able to do it

Ah gotcha, that makes sense, I've never been able to get recovery booting via power + volume up, until I randomly tried pressing the power button at the device unlocked screen, and for some reason doing that took me into recovery

Are you powering off your phone first? If so wait a few seconds after then hold down both power + volume up buttons at the same time and hold for 10 seconds. It still works for me doing it this way.

This works like a charm. I was about to give up my phone because of this predicament, I didn't want to have any issues restoring my phone in the future in case. THANKS A BUNCH!
It's kinda strange but it is bootloader issue. I am on BTK3 firmware (latest Android 10 release) and i'm experiencing such misbehave of key-kombo to enter ot recovery mode since September or October FW update. Has jus tried to downgrade bootloader to initial firmaware (ATGM) by flashing BL in odin and now i can enter recovery by only pressing vol-up + bixby. It work always. Cables, headphones... nothing needed. just keys-combo.
Then i tried to update BL to latest Android 10 (BTK3) and again recovery mode doesn't work. Only if N9860 connected to PC by cable and even with that it doesn't work for me 10 out of 10 times.
Can someone text/call Samsung support to report this issue ?
BTW thanks to @Mentalmuso for helping me!
Same things happen to Android 11.
Tried to flash on my N9860 old BL over Android 11 firmware (was installed before that, all files AP, BL, CP, CSC), flash was ok, but system was unable to load. constantly bootloops. but i was able again to enter recovery without cable and etc. Tried to wipe cache and factory reset from default recovery but no luck - bootloop.
I thought that game over and old BL is not compatible with new android 11.
But then i wanted to try do the same but with custom binaries (@Mentalmuso TWRP and kernel) and ta-da - system loaded from the first try. For me it's surprise. Now i have Android 11 latest FW for TGY (CUA3) with initial BL from the box (ATGM) and everything looks like working fine. No error in OS, no random reboots (at least after 30 minutes of test) and recovery can be simply loaded only by key combo, without any cables, headphones and PC.
I'm happy now =)
Strange thing is that after fladhing old BL system did not show error message that vbmeta changed and some error in vbmeta header. It was showed always on Android 10. But i flashed twrp again (it has vbmeta inside .zip) to be safe lol.
