So, I flashed my samsung a10s with an unofficial twrp posted, and everything went fine.
But when I tried to flash a GSI (I tried lineage, and the AOSP ones), everytime I reboot it brings me to the recovery menu. I cannot boot into download mode or anything, it straight up puts me into TWRP.
I do seem to get a `invalid argument /metadata` sort of error
Any idea how to fix this?

First, flash stock rom.
Then install twrp, do a wipe and a factory reset. Install GSi image but do not reboot to system. Turn of the phone and boot to recovery again. Then do a wipe and reboot to system.
Do not enter to recovery again, idk why but entering recovery breaks the rom.

U can't enter Download mode with the power button. Power off the phone. Hold vol up and vol down then plug it into a pc. Do not release vol buttons until blue download screen appears.

Hi! I'm trying to install a cm rom in my xt926, I have the bootloader and, aparently, I can flash properly the custom recovery, but when I try to reboot onto recovery it doesn't work, shows the motorola logo and, after 1 or 2 minutes, reboot normally, and I can´t enter the recovery to flash the cm rom... Anyone can help me? I don't know what else to do... A lot of thanks.
Sorry for my bad english
I have this Problem as well! Stock KK on XT926 build 183.46.10.XT926.Verizon.en.US. I've tried all the methods I could find.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is and you can really flash recovery while in fastboot mode - what do you do after that? Reboot the phone into Android and then try to reboot into recovery? If you're doing that, then that's the problem.
You need to reboot to recovery straight from fastboot, otherwise the stock system deletes the custom recovery. When you flash the recovery - unplug the cable and just press the power button once and the phone will turn off. Then hold Volume UP + Power and the boot menu will show up and then you select recovery and you should be good to go
Solved!
I've found the solution! I've flashed the wrong recovery. My stock rom is kit kat 4.4.2, this recovery works very fine

Hey guys... i've been trying to put a custom rom on this old p5113.... i've tried flashing latest TWRP on it with odin which odin claims its successful, but when i reboot the device and try to go into recovery i get back the original samsung recovery.... it's almost like it overwrites recovery at boot... i've read number of guides on this but i seem to be following the same steps they're suggesting.... am i missing anything obvious? from my understanding it's a straight up odin flash on custom recovery and then just use that to wipe/format and install rom + gapps.
Any ideas?

how are you doing it exactly, do you unplug the usb cable just as you see its "passed" with green status? or let it reboot itself? or are you rebooting it yourself? usually it will reboot itself into the recovery after it is successful, sometimes it goes to the system directly, generally the idea is to get into the recovery mode as soon as you flash it through odin. you should not let it boot and go to system( means don't let it start your rom, no samsung logo instead go to recovery first by pressing your volume up with power button. (if it's not going directly into recovery)

I almost bricked my phone because of that stupid userdata.img inside the Twrp recovery
For 2 days I've been trying to install a rom with the twrp recovery, which always worked nice although a bit slow, but since the installed rom always had issues, this time I put not only the twrp recovery in flashboot, but also the userdata.img, which by the way there's no reference about it in any doc of the zip
As a result my phone didn't pass forward the coloured Leeco splash screen in chinese, (the one that cames before the twrp spashscreen).
I shut it down and put it on charge, but it didn't even seem to be charging! the red led was always on and the battery had no progress bar, just a 'sparkle' symbol. If that thing isn't even charging, how the hell would I enter fastboot?
Thankfully I got back the normal recovery and bootloader.
So, anyone reading, DO NOT flash userdata.img in fastboot!
I've been playing with some Pie roms (with repartition) with my nexus 5. But since I needed to pass SecurityNet, I decided to go back to stock rom.
I tried to reflash the stock rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...om-android-m-preview-2-flashable-zip-t3157299 and the official method by google, but I ended on a bootloop.
I tried to flash twrp again (I can access to bootloader) and flash another pie rom (who previusly worked). But I'm getting bootloop again.
What can I do?
after you flash stock image just go to recovery mode and do factory reset

After flashing and entering in the recovery, a android logo with an exclamation mark is showed... I have to flash twrp too or something?
after you see that exclamation mark i think you should press vol up/down or maybe power button to enter recovery mode, i forgot that cuz never use stock recovery for a long time. i think you can try to flash twrp and then do wipe/factory reset

Thanks, after flashing image from google I get a strange error. Searching for it in the web ended with two commands:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot update image-*
That finished to flash the imagen and the phone boot well as usually. :good:
Hello everyone,
Lately I've changed my rom from to another (both of them are custom). The problem is when I try to reboot my phone into recovery (TWRP) but instead it reboots into bootloader.

I have an advanced menu in the rom where I can choose if I want to reboot into recovery, system or boot loader, so I choose recovery but the phone reboots in bootloader. Even if I just pressed the power button and volume up it also go to the bootloader

Please be specific the information :
1. Which ROM r u in?
2. Before this happen, which Recovery r u in?
3. Did you try to boot into recovery by adb command : adb reboot recovery ?
1. I'm currently using Arrow os.
2. TWRP.
3.Yes I did because there's no other way you can get into the recovery but using adb only gives me access to TWRP, but the problem is that every rime I want to access TWRP I should use a computer.

Means you still able to boot into recovery, just that u must use command lines and the recovery's not there when u try to boot into it by other method, correct?
If so, download OF latest build R11.1.2.1 ( zip file ) boot into TWRP, flash the zip, boot info OF, flash the zip in OF again, then let it do the auto reboot into recovery. When done, clear cache, Dalvik then reboot to system as normal.
Then try to reboot to recovery by normal ways, inform me back if it's work
Thank you for your reply. I will try to do it after some time because I'm busy right now hopefully it works
