If I remember correctly use the known keys whilst usb is connected to laptop or PC, when the little android dude pops up on screen you will get text on the screen saying "no command " press volume up and power keys at the same time it will enter recovery. Hope this helps

[Q] How to boot in recovery console on Lenovo A5000

Hi guys,
title speaks for itself
I have tried every single method that came up from google:
Recovery Mode Lenovo A5000
Turn off the device
Press and hold Volume UP key + Power Key for a few seconds
Release all key when Android Recovery Mode appears
Use Volume keys to select
Use Power key to confirm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The combination should be-->
-->Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- (Yes,both volume buttons).
If by using this combination the phone just shutdowns or restarts.....Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- >Release all buttons when the Lenovo logo (the first static logo) disappears.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...or use a sequence--> Simultaneously press&hold Power button & Volume+ and Volume- -->Release only the Power button when the Lenovo logo appears-->Keep on pressing both Volume(+&-) buttons until you enter the recovery mode.

don't remove your fingers until it boots up.. much better if you press first the volume keys before you power on.. keep pressing all together until it opens. or you might end up booting the chinese recovery.

With Vol Up+Power button managed to get this:
Select boot mode:
[VOLUME_UP to select. VOLUME_DOWN is OK>]
[Recovery Mode] <<==
[Fastboot Mode]
[Normal boot]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can change selection with Vol Up (move arrow), but neither Vol Down or Power button acts like OK button
Tried to reboot to recovery from app it returns "no command" error.
After that i found what is key combination (i think) hold down volume up and down and power button. after 5+ seconds release power button, but keep pressing volume buttons. But no command error again.
I really need recovery console, cuz i want to install xposed but if i get stuck in bootloop will...well, will get stuck
Well, also tried to plug-in USB cable while holding Volume UP ad Volume DOWN buttons, to see will it shows in adb. Result is "no command" again. But i can see device attached when using build-in cd-rom + usb debug enabled
For me , Button Combination never Works Exactly , but when i Reboot into Recovery (using Rashr app etc) , then same No Command Window Appears and then i Press Power Button Again and Recovery Window Appears... No Command Error Shows , Simply Press Power Button again Like for 0.5 Seconds , Recovery Screen Shows Up, Works for me.. ...
And also me Using Same 4.4.2 , i installed Xposed (Not From Recovery) and Never Got a Bootloop...
For Now i am using TWRP , Working Well , But Still Button Combination is Really Annoying For me...
Yeah I have very large fingers and those damn buttons are very small lol so its aggravating, but a real life saver when everything is frozen rock solid ..try that button combo on an LG g4 , its taken me an hour of reboots to finally get to recovery, why put such tiny hardware buttons on the back of the phone ffs
Through my ancient eyes comes the certainty of decay... LG G4 & L 70
Thanks guys, but i've managed to flash TWRP recovery and don't have No command error, anymore

Power Off Your Mobile , Now Press Vol+ , Vol- and Power Button all At the Same Time Until your Phone starts again and you See Lenovo Logo (Below Written Powered By Android) , then after 5 Seconds Release All .... Now wait , and you'r in Recovery Now .... Works For me...
Or you can Try "adb reboot recovery" , this one works for me too...
If None of these Working , then Re-flash Recovery and Check again (Try flashing Recovery Using different Method Like using Rashr App)...

Recovery boots to system software not authorized by VW

The phone doesn't have volume buttons so I decided to root it with Towelroot and install a 4 way reboot for recovery . Now every time I try to boot it starts with recovery booting in blue then secure fail: kernel system software not authorized by Verizon Wireless... . The phone is in 4.4.2 and can't go into adb or Odin as I can't get it in download mode. Is there a fix for this or am I completely screwed ?

I also face the same problem when i install TWRP 2.8.7.0 using Flashify.
With the phone powered off, press simultaneously volume down, home and power button to get into download mode. On the screen offering option to Volume Up to continue and Volume Down to cancel, press Volume Down and the phone will restart and you can use it.

If you are familiar with adb, and you have it installed on your computer, you can use it to boot into download mode with this command:
Code:
adb reboot download

Thanks for the replies but my S3 doesn't show up when I type adb devices and Odin doesn't recognize the phone as well. I have the Samsung drivers and have USB debugging checked before all. How can I get my PC to see my s3?

While your phone is connected to the PC check Device Manager and see if there are error icons ( yellow triangle with ! ) relating to your device. I won't be able to help much with that, I haven't used Windows in almost a decade.

Recovery mode - Device buttons are not working

I have a micromax doodle 4 (Q391) with broken power and volume down buttons and its stuck in boot logo. So whenever I connect my phone to charger it will turn on and just keep showing the logo. However, I'm managed to enter recovery mode to reset device or wipe data BUT as I mentioned the power button is not working to select nor the volume button is working around to highlight options. Since its stuck in bootloop, I can't even enable usb debugging.
Btw, the battery can't be removed in this model. All I have is a reset button, volume up button and If i give some hard push on volume down its working sometimes. Some help would be very useful. Thank you.
After the vibration that you notice at the time you start your mobile you need to hold down the volume down button first (don't press both of them simultaneously) and then press and hold down the power button to boot into recovery menu.

I have a broken power button but I'm able to boot into recovery in a different way. My question is "How to select options in recovery mode with power button not working?".
Visit a nearby micromax service center and get it repaired I don't own a micromax but I hope that the price for repairs are nominal.
How ??

I needed help!!

Ok I won’t go into how I bot myself here but here’s where I am. Unlocked bootloader, no recovery, no rom, USB devices command isn’t showing anything anymore. When I boot it just sits in the white screen with the G for ever. I can hardboot to bootloader and when I try to boot recovery I just get a black screen with a picture of a dead android.
Please refrain from calling me an idiot as I’ve repeatedly told myself that many times.
Can anyone help me out of this???
Thanks
When you are on the screen with the broken Android hold the power button and volume up it should bring you to recovery I believe. It might be even hold the volume up first then tap the power key.

Thanks eevanskiteboards, the tip about booting when I had the dead android screen got me out of the ****. You're a legend! I had to hold the up volume and tap the power.
my steps were, for anyone else,
1. hardboot to bootloader
2. choose boot to recovery
3. screen with dead android , hold power button and tap up arrow
4. stock recovery appears
5. choose ADB sideload
6. sideload full OTA update from google after wipe.
7. profit!
interestingly when I did ADB Devices the phone never showed up yet I was still able to sideload?
anyhow now I am back to Oreo and I can try and get root again which I was unable to with Pie
I'm glad you made progress!

Stuck at entering fastboot mode

How can I get my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra out of stuck at 'entering fastboot mode'?
Hold down power and volume down until it reboots back to recovery. I got stuck there last week and that's what worked for me.

Is this problem solved? I cannot boot into bootloader mode, thanks!
Switch off the device. Then hold volume up and down buttons and insert the USB cable plugged to PC. You will get to download/odin mode

Download mode is different from fatboot mode, I can enter, and works ok download mode. However, fastboot does not, it gets stuck in entering fastboot mode and no fastboot command works
I got same issue here, I've tried rooting via TWRP and after data wipe and "reboot to recovery" it got stuck in same thing and doesn't move at all, if I hold power and vol down it just boots the device which i dont want since i need to flash magisk as a last step. if anyone encountered this or knows how to fix it i'd be helpful
I'm not rooted but I've had past Samsung devices that I was able to root and if I'm not mistaken Samsung phones aren't able to boot into fastboot mode because Samsung removed the ability to. You can run commands via ADB mode but I think that's about it

Guys, turn off the phone, press volume up and volume down together, and plug the usb cable while pressing volume up and down, and wait until the phone enter in downloading mode. This work for me.

Since we can"t enter into fastboot mode is it possible to flash boot.img with adb commands?
I m having the same problem with a21s(a217f). I can t enter download mode using key combinations and the other way launching it from recovery doesn t work, it stays stuck at,, entering fastboot mode,,
The ROM is already bricked, it says in recovery when i try to factory reset the following error:,, can t mount. /system (structure needs cleaning)
Even with,, apply up. with adb,, doesn t work, it just doesn t get detected on my computer when i checked with adb tools.
! The only thing that works is that I can access my sd card and apply a update from sd card but I don t know where to get the update file. (I ll edit if it works to flash stock rom from,, apply update from sd card,, )
Anybody got some ideas or should i burn my motherboard and replace it?
sorry for bad english
Honestly plug device into PC.
Power off device
hold all 3 side buttons. Volume up and down and power/bixby.
Should usually work.
After in fast boot you must press a button Volume button to find via odin.

I already did that, unplugged the battery, reconnected it after 1min, connected my phone to the computer and pressed all 3 side buttons, still doesn t work. I guess the download mode is deleted or something..
Volume up & down, no side key, then connect to PC. Works for me. Connect to PC first does not work for me.

It wouldn't be deleted as it's a safety protocol if the device has a bad update and freaks out.
Maybe try to person above method.
Normally I can enter download mode with any of these methods if you cannot I'd suggest trying to get the device replaced due to software malfunction

Samsung phones use a tool called Odin to flash firmware. If you're flashing custom firmware firmware you'll need to have your bootloader unlocked.
I got mine into download mode just now. It's a Galaxy A13 .. Like stated above, try to hold all three buttons down and connect to USB. I had to let go before it showed the battery charge icon. From off. If not from off try from charging. I think that's what I did just now. Plug the usb -> let it show the charging icon (from powered off!) -> hold all three buttons, let it power on, let go. DONE.
just follow this video it helped me a lot to unlock my boot loader
