wtf not going into recovery mode?

i need to root my phone so i can download rom manager so i can flash my first rom but its not kicking into recovery mode. im holding the power and volume keys at the same time. is there any other way?

1. Install android toolkit on computer
2. Install captivate drivers
3. Settings --> Enable USB debugging
4. Connect phone to computer
5. Open command prompt
6. Issue the command adb reboot recovery
Plus, u don't need ROM manager, nor root to do any of this stuff. Read the stickys on page 1 to get started on how to install ROMs.

1 turn off phone. wait for the vibrate to tell you its off!
2 hold both volume buttons
3 press the power button
4 DONT let the volume go until the screen comes on!

Let power go when you see the ATT screen, keep holding up+down vol

Mine just did the same thing tonight after using ODIN for the first time. Prior to ODIN, I could use the volume keys + power. After ODIN, the AT&T screen just flashes and then boots up.
I found other experiencing the same issue as me. I tried the following and it worked. However, I still cannot get the volume + power button trick to work anymore.

Have a look for the 3buttonFix.zip

Not all build numbers can use the 3 button fix to enter recovery mode.
Look underneath your battery compartment to find your build number (1007, 1008, etc.). Then do a search to find out how to enter the recovery mode for your particular phone.
You may need to get yourself a usb jig.

GT-P5110 unable to reboot directly to recovery after twrp installation

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!

Hi,
I have J415 in hand and I believe you can follow these steps:
1. turn off the phone
2. hold vol up+ vol down and connect usb
you should be in download mode now.

Recovery
Plz i want link to twrp (recovery) of samsung j4 core (SM-J410f/ds)

I also have a this issue. Power & vol+ & vol- plug in USB, Samsung logo then a blue screen, possibly with an exclamation mark, but only for a split second. The reboots and does the same continuously. I was on android pie uk and tried to flash twrp, failed 3 times. Tried to reflash 8.1 which ended in a fail and now it won't boot, won't boot recovery and won't go into download mode. Does this mean a flat battery? Should I leave it on charge with no sign it's charging? Hold the 3 buttons on reboot for 5/10 minutes?
As it stands now, it's not bricked but I can't do anything with it.

I solved it by holding all 3 buttons and plugging into USB, it did the whole rebooting thing as usual but I kept the buttons held for about 15/20 reboots and then it FINALLY went into download and I could flash stock rom. If important or not, I'd left it charging all night but showed no sign of life whilst it 'charged'

have same problem same it is kind of security to avoid writing Combination

SM-A750F: How to exit download mode into recovery mode?

Hi,
A7 2018 (SM-A750F) vanilla
I am trying to flash TWRP on my phone using Odin: entered recovery (VolUp+Power), choose Bootloader to enter download mode, blue download screen is visible, flashed TWRP via Odin, Odin reports success.
But then, the only option to leave download mode is VolDown+Power which results in a normal boot which in turn restores the default recovery.
So what am i doing wrong? How can I exit download mode straight into recovery?
There is many tutorials on the web for A7 2018 but most seem to use different key-combi's that don't work on my phone.

When you're in download mode keep pressing all 3 buttons ( volume up + volume down + power), around 7 seconds. When the screen will go black, immediately remove your hold from " volume down" button and you will be left with two buttons. volume up and power which are used to go in recovery, when you'll hear a vibration. Remove your hold from all buttons and you'll find yourself in recovery mode
In simple steps (They're Same) :-
1. Press all Available Buttons (VOLUME +, - AND POWER BUTTON) For Around 7 Seconds
2. When Screen Goes Black immediately Remove Finger From Volume Down Button
3. Don't remove fingers from Volume up and power button ( keep hold onto them)
4. You'll hear a vibration
5. Remove your hold from those buttons too
6. Congratulations, you're into recovery mode

Yes, that worked.
However on my phone the combi to exit Download is Down + Power and for Recovery is Up + Power.
