TWRP won't boot from device, only from PC. - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

I bought a cheap G8141 on ebay with a cracked screen and replaced the screen myself.
I unlocked its bootloader.
Then I attempted to flash twrp into its recovery with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-maple.img
using the latest twrp maple image.
It says it succeeded, but I can't actually get it to boot into TWRP using
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or by using any of the button press combinations (hold volume up or down + power, or power on and repeatedly press volume up or volume down).
I can only boot to twrp using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-maple.img
instead.
I did root with magisk, and I also attempted to flash twrp to recovery from within twrp after booting directly like above, but it still won't work.

make sure your device is OFF and is NOT connected to a charger.
Then, while holding VOL-, press and hold PWR, and wait till you see TWRP.
Mine wouldn't boot into TWRP if it's on a charger, or if i'm rebooting. Only from the Device Off state.

I thought I tried it without the cable in, but i tried it again and it worked.

[Q] Stuck on fastboot with broken pwr button

Hi I have the following problem: after I flash Cannibal open touch recovery I could not flash any .zip file so I decided that I go back to CWM touch so I restarted my phone. Phone booted into fastboot mode with the following message no boot or recovery IMG so I decided to flash recovery with fastboot. I opened the folder with fastboot command flash_recovery connect the phone to usb but the command line always showed waiting for device. I unplugged the phone and tried to press the volume keys but nothing happened as if it freezes. I pulled the battery and try it again but no response. I cant connect phone to odin because it has broken power button and after I insert the battery it always turn on itself. Please advise me what to do thank you.
Seems your drivers have gone corrupt. Try a different system and use Nexus Root Toolkit.
I tried this option but without success. Phone does not respond to anything. No volume up or volume down. It´s just stucked on bootloader.
This link says that if you get <waiting for device> , then fastboot is not configured properly. Check out the link over here.
You may also try this command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-crespo.img" to boot into recovery without installing it.
no hope
The reason you cannot navigate in fastboot/bootloader is that your powerswitch is probably stuck in the "on position"...does your device immediately power on when battery is inserted?
The way i solved this a few months ago was to completly remove my powerswitch from the board power my device on..use quickboot to enter fastboot menu and input commands...
Also completely removing your power button makes powering on your nexus alot more complicated.
what i did was go to download mode (holding vol+ and -) and pluging phone in..this takes you to download mode
then you need to get a copy of a boatloader file to flash via odin which will reset your phone and power it on...pm me if interested i can provide you with files necessary

Lenovo tab 2 A10-70 Boot looped , Unable to get into bootloader or recovery

*accidently put this in the wrong thread, if a mod could move it. thanks*
So I wanted to get rid of the chinese recovery that was on my lenova tablet and messed up along the way.
I first enabled debbuging USB on my tablet and used adb on my pc to boot my tablet into fastboot (I am unable to enter fastboot any other way).
I ran this line: "fastboot oem unlock" and then "fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip".
The TWRP version i flashed onto the recovery was a wrong version causing my tablet to go into a bootloop on restart.
I get no response from vol up+power, vol down + power, vol up+vol down+power.
I had to let my tablet battery run out since the back battery is unremovable.
The tablet shows the splash screen when it boots and restarts after about 5 seconds.
I have no idea on what to do so i turn for help here

Can't boot into recovery or fastboot

I'm running LineageOS 14.1 and I'd like to update it. If I hold the Volume Up + Power button until the Mi letters come on and let go, the letters stay on for a while and then the phone just shuts down. How can I get into recovery to flash the new zips?
Using pc via fastboot interface :
Download twrp recovery.img (depend on your bootloader version)
Get into fastboot mode (I assume you already unlocked your bootloader)
Boot up your device with recovery.img instead of boot.img ('fastboot boot recovery.img' instead of 'fastboot boot boot.img')

Do you rooted?You can used the adb command.
" reboot recovery"

CANNOT enter recovery mode proper

The issue: When booting I get the "bad key" boot text which hangs for about 10 seconds before going to splash.
When doing power button + volume up, the bad key hangs for so long that holding down power button just SHUTS THE PHONE OFF.
I can do power button + volume down to enter bootloader, and then enter recovery mode from there, but when I do that I get NO COMMAND
Ive also tried with adb
adb reboot recovery
same thing NO COMMAND
Everything that I google about NO COMMAND comes back with "oh just do power button + volume up duh" and each time I read that as a solution it makes me a little bit more angry.

Ive been following this guide to root my moto e6 and everything has been fine so far, but im stuck trying to install magisk. Magisk manager has already been installed, and I believe I have installed magisk. But I cannot boot into proper recovery to use it.
About to give up, hopefully someone can help
installed a bootlogo following this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/boot-logo-moto-e5-stock-bad-key-removed-t3869259
to see if that would help. No change. Cant boot into recovery mode proper.

bad key and/or N/A is just the phone saying it has an unlocked bootloader.
NO COMMAND when entering Recovery, yes, google is right. When you see NO COMMAND, press and HOLD the power button and TAP the volume up key. You should see at the top, Android Recovery and a bunch of options below. If you don't see this, your recovery partition was probably modified/corrupt. Flash the original recovery.img from a stock rom. I don't think there's a working E6 TWRP recovery image yet.
If you still haven't figured this out I have a possible fix. I found that upon first installing the magisk_patched.img from the guide you linked, everything booted up fine and magisk and root were working. I however made the mistake of booting normally...somehow this affects the magisk boot function in the recovery and gives the no command screen. I just fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched.img again and booted straight into recovery and that fixed it again. Just make sure once you have root again to use a program that allows you to boot back into recovery again directly.

When I get to the Android Recovery which option do I choose?
I tried "Reboot system now" and Magisk was still not installed

Honor 6x keeps booting to bootloader.(bootloop) HELP PLease

1. Installed adb and fastboot driver using the 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
2. I unlocked bootloader using dc-unlocker2client.
3. I followed and flashed twrp following this youtube video which was very clear and I followed it throughly.
4. I rebooted it from the powershell and the phone booted into the stock rom without going to twrp.
5. So I restarted it by pressing the power buttona and volume up button and released when i saw the bluescreen the device booted into emui recovery so i cancelled it and shutdown the device.
6. I tried entering into twrp by using fastboot through powershell the phone was detected when I typed the comand fastboot devices, so I tried to get into recovery using the fastboot reboot recovery.
7. The phone said
" your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted.
To learn more visit:
Your device is booting now..."
8.Now all i can do is reboot by pressing and holding power button and getting it into quickboot by pressing power button and volume button.
Kindly help me fix this.
