I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T700) and I want to install TWRP using Heimdall. It seems like I can flash TWRP in download mode (blue bar appears).
However, now I cannot immediately boot into TWRP. If I press power + volume down the device reboots into system, after that I can only boot to the stock recovery. I followed the tutorial on how to install LineageOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/klimtwifi/install
Is there way how I can boot straight to TWRP recovery after flashing it in download mode?

It isn't volume down+power. Volume down is meant to boot into download mode.
Recovery is volume UP+home+power
Or volume UP+power(if you have no home button)

Thanks for your quick reply! It looks like the only button combination you can do when you are in download mode is power + volume down. Then, when the screen turns off, immediately switch to power + volume up + home. This will cause the device to boot into TWRP recovery.

Yes, power off and then use the correct button combination. The various button combinations for the various bootable modes only work when starting from the powered off state, the fact that you needed to power off before using the correct combination "should" have been self-evident and self explanatory.
I was just letting you know the correct combination to boot recovery because you weren't using the volume up combination in your previous attempts, that is why you weren't getting into recovery.

I personally have struggled for a VERY long time to get TWRP working on a Sumsung device.
Most recently, I have used Magisk to patch boot.img that I was able to extract from the device.
Then I built a .tar.md file to flash that file along with the appropriate recovery.img using Odin.
Every thing went swimingly well and Odin stopped with a PASS.
However, when I rebooted the device, it boot looped in TWRP. System never got a chance to load.
I recovered by flashing the ENTIRE 3 .tar.md files using the same ODIN and everything recover and watch starts perfectly.
WTH could I have done wrong??
Boowho>>

just rooted my one x
followed the steps here to install TWRP recover
but what i cant figure out is how to use it exactly.. from the project page it looks to be an app
and yes i am new to this **** lol
you can go to recovery using bootloader ( power off and press power +vol down ).. or use below command through adb ( device connected to pc ) - adb reboot recovery
Not good if you think custom recovery is just some app. You should do research and learn the importance and usage of custom reocvery.

im new to rooting too. i also did the above but i thought it was (volume up + home button+ power button= recovery mode) ?
No, the correct combo is volume down + power to get to the bootloader, then select recovery from the menu (using the volume keys to move the cursor and the power key to select).

First, before you do anything, read about what TWRP is and maybe watch some videos about the features or something so you don't come back with a formatted sdcard and no idea what to do

It seems that you are getting your information from the wrong source. That is the completely wrong button combo, and keep in mind that every Android device has different button combos.
On this device, its power+vol down (release power after a few seconds, but keep holding vol down until the white screen comes up) to get into bootloader. From bootloader, select recovery. There is no button combo to boot directly into recovery.
Don't follow directions for other devices.
When I hold the -vol and power on my 8013, instead of entering the recovery image, the tablet enters the Odin mode. And my 4.3 ROM quit booting. Is there a way to flash a ROM via Odin?

I solved my own problem, but I'm really disappointed by the lack of response I got from this forum. For any one else who runs into the problem, I apparently had an incompatible recovery image installed. I flashed the TWRP image and now when I hold vol up and power on, it enters the recovery image and I'm able to flash .zip files. I mistakenly thought the combination was vol down and power on, when, in fact, that is apparently supposed to be for the "download" mode.

the right way
power + home + vol up
By holding the "home button + vol -" keep holding until you see twrp
OR
Depending on the carrier you have sometimes the recovery mode the first time is the hard reset screen.
Before you do this back up your device
if you installing it right, hold the "home button + vol -" when you booting it up once you see it your manufacturer logo, let go of your home button then press it again, keep holding the vol -.
Now, you should now should see the hard reset screen, use the volume key to move and now press yes for everything and then twrp will boot up.
Disclaimer i don't have this device
I have a J500F version, found the solution.
Uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin, then do the "installing", after that unplug your device and just simply remove the battery, then replace it.
If you're done then Volume up + Home + Power button will get you into TWRP.

Device- Xiaomi Redmi 4x(Santoni)
ROM- Havoc OS
Custom Recovery- Red Wolf (Unofficial Version)
I'm having trouble booting into custom recovery. I have already flashed custom recovery, disabled stock recovery replace. Power button+volumed down button boots me into stock recovery. But if booted into recovery from advanced reboot then I can perfectly custom recovery. How can I make my device boot into custom recovery by just pressing power button+volume down button?!
Please help.
Thanks.

It would help if you posted which device you have, we can't give you an accurate or definitive answer if we don't know what device model number you have.
On most devices, typically, it is volume up+power to boot into recovery.
Volume down+power typically boots into bootloader mode, download mode or some other type of flashing mode intended for flashing stock firmware on the device.

Press volume UP+power, when you see the Mi logo, release the power button but continue holding the volume up button, do not release volume up when you release the power button.

If it didn't work, you probably have some kind of issue because the instructions I gave you are correct for your device.

I figured it out. Tried volume up+volume down+power button and booted successfully into custom recovery. Didn't know about this. Thanks for your help, mate.

Strange, that combination is usually used to boot some devices into safe mode.
But, at least you figured it out.

Thanks for your reading!
I tried flashing some ROMS onto this phone using download mode using ODIN. I was trying to flash TWRP, MAGISK and LineageOS using some files on this forum to no luck. I am new to ODIN and it appears strange to use!
It appears after doing so that it is going into boot loop mode now and won't boot normally at all.
I can still get into download mode using vol down + bixby + power
But it won't let me go into recovery mode using vol up + bixby + power no matter how long I do it
Can someone point me to the correct files to download and procedure to get this phone up and running again?
Can someone provide assistance?
Got it working by using an older version of TWRP! Whew... thanks
