I have a Lenovo A390 and I want to put a custom ROM that supports english and Google Play store app.
It is currently using some Chinese OS without google Play app, so not much I can do.
Current status: It is rooted but I can not access recovery mode.
I used:
1. Root - Framaroot with the Boromir exploit, worked fine initially. Then I used Rashr.
2. Install Recovery - Rashr let me install TWRP so I installed LenovoA390_recovery.img and tried to reboot to recovery mode. At first time it worked, and I saw the TWRP application screen and did a full backup of my Lenovo_A390. Then I tried to install a custom ROM and I chose the image file and started to flash it. It went very quick and I rebooted it. It started again but same operative system came up.
Once I restart the phone and try to go to recovery mode I see the old Lenovo logo or similar with a small text below that it is entering recovery mode, and then it goes to a black screen and nothing happens.
Now I can not access recovery mode anymore, then I hold volume up and power button, all I see after a few seconds is the Lenovo logotype, and nothing else happens afterwards. I have tried to install the recovery image again (using Rashr), but I have the same problem all the time. It installs the recovery.img but when I try to boot into recovery mode, it is not working. I also tried with CWM recovery image, but I get the same problem. Lenovo
The phone is still rooted (Rashr is working) but I can not access recovery mode.
How can I get the recovery mode to work again, so I can install a different ROM without Chinese operator branding?
Thank you!

Guys, What can I do if my screen turns black every time I try to go to RECOVERY mode?
The phone works fine, but when I try to go to recovery it JUST GOES black and I need to power it up again. How can I fix the recovery?
I have tried installing TWRP over Rashr, and it installs well, but just can not go to recovery mode.
Also, when I try to go to FASTBOOT MODE by holding POWER + VOLUM UP buttons, I only go to FACTORY MODE all the time.
Why is this happening like this, and WHY can't I go to FASTBOOT MODE?
Is it the same ?!?
Hi guys,
I own an InFocus m810 and had flashed a marshmallow based rom. It was all working fine until after 6 months my phone started to hang a lot so I decided to factory reset it... I tried to go to twrp but it wasn't going to recovery mode like it used to (by holding power and volume up buttons together) so I downloaded quick boot from play store and booted into recovery there I wiped my dalvik cache and all the files then I flashed supersu zip and rebooted but it's still stuck on the boot screen. I tried to go to recovery mode by trying all the combinations (vol up+ power, vol down+power,etc) but in vain... I even tried to flash my stock rom again by going to fast boot mode but it isn't even going to fast boot mode so that my pc can recognize it but it doesn't work.. when I press vol up+power(combination for recovery mode) it restarts and again go to boot logo and get stickers there... I looked over entire internet but everywhere it's telling to flash rom or wipe cache etc... but I can't even go to recovery and fast boot to wipe cache or flash rom please help me thanks.. i have an unlocked bootloader...
UPDATE: I can now access revovery (twrp) but when i cleared dalvik cache and went to reboot page it says no os installed...now i am worried to reboot it as i could loose access to recovery.... i cant find any recovery flashable rom ... there are some roms but they are only SUT(software upgrade tool) flashable any help would be appreciated..
UPDATE: Miraculously got through all steps of the Setup Wizard after all It's apparently not broken, but just VERY unstable... For now, it's possible to use 'adb reboot recovery' again
I don't think I can delete my post here though.

Hi!
I've got a problem trying to install Lineage:
(1) After installation, it turns out that the Google Setup Assistant, which pops up first after booting, keeps crashing, so I don't get through the setup procedure.
(2) I cannot enter the recovery mode any more! Before, the phone used to load the TWRP menu when pressing Power + Volume Up + Home. But now, it's just the wakeup screen repeating again and again...
I feel stuck: I cannot reinstall any ROM without being able to enter the recovery mode. Further, it looks to me as if it's impossible to connect the phone to the computer as long as I cannot even pass through the Setup Assistant.
My tries: Reinstalling TWRP with Heimdall. There were no error messages, but it did not help.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-I8190)
OS: Lineage 14.1 Unofficial
Recovery: TWRP 3.2.2.
How can I get out?
Hi Community,
I read some posts how to fix my Problem, but i cant go to a service Point.
So I was using the Evolution X for a long Time (Installed with TWRP 3.1.0).
And now i wanted to change to the Nusantara Project (Vanilla), I did a clean Flash, everything worked i could access the System.
Than i had problems installing Play Store, so i rebooted into Recovery via the System. But now im Stuck in the Loop.
Can i Somehow connect my Phone to the PC and Reset?
Can someone tell me if i Hard/soft bricked my phone ?
Just a little advice, would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Go to TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and dalvik. Now flash nusantra and whichever GApps are recommended for it (if there are no recommendations then use OpenGApps, make sure the architecture is correct). Now wipe dalvik and restart. Sometimes, certain roms begin to bootloop if you boot into the rom first, then try to install gapps later.
If you still have issues, just reflash the stock rom.
I cant access the TWRP anymore, im just stuck on the Bootloader, no matter how i turn on The Phone (Volume Up + Power ON ), (Volume Down + Power), (All 3 Buttons)
Nothing works anymore i dont understand ....
Im searching the net but i cant go to fastboot or something else, its just keeps on rebooting ...
So it's bootlooping, but you cant access recovery?
When the screen turns off, press the key combo and it should go to recovery.
Your best bet is to take it to a service centre, but if that really isn't possible for you, then wait for its battery to drain completely, then when you plug in the charger, instead of turning the phone on, press the key combo to enter the recovery. From there, wipe and flash some other OS.
I've also heard that certain versions of TWRP don't support some roms, leading to a bootloop. In that case, you'll have to use orangefox recovery to flash the rom (orangefox is flashable via twrp)
Yes its Bootlooping.
When i turn it on, on the Left Corner "Recovery Mode" blinks for one second. Than the usual Text appears:
"Orange State
Your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
Your Device will boot in 5 Seconds".
So after a couple of seconds (around 10-20 sec)
It turns off and immediately on again. I Just can turn it OFF when i hold all 3 Buttons.
Than i try starting it with Volume up + Power / Volume down + Power, But i cant access Recovery or TWRP.
So i should wait til the battery gets low and try it again ?
Like i said, my custom Rom (Evolutionx) and TWRP just worked fine. I dont know man ...
Well since your bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the stock rom again. Look for a tutorial and follow it.
Hi I managed to unbrick my device with this guide, and im back on a stock rom
Unbrick
i ran following commands to get to my custom rom:
I run adb reboot bootloader,
add executed following commands.
(Pitch Black recovery 3.1)
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fasboot reboot recovery
It just hang up and booted after a while into the normal system.
But im not able to get to the recovery menu ?
When I restart and hold Volume up + Power, i go in a loop and the phone keeps restarting over and over again.
what have i Fu**ed up ?
Do i need another recovery tool ?
sorry guys, i appreciate your help a lot tho !
EDIT: Is my bootloader unlocked ?
I can access via "adb reboot bootloader" the phone
and on the blackscreen on the phone it is written:
oppo verfiy pass
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
Update:
So i tried some Stuff and i got Red State. No Problem i Unbricked it once again and now im on Stock Android 10.
Now im Trying to enable the bootloader again.
I downloaded the In Depth Test_Realme_6.apk but i keep getting the Error that i should update the system.
So should i update the system ?
I cant find a CURRENT Tutorial to make this work, please help...
If you cant find a tutorial for your version, why not downgrade back to a previous one if possible.
I was just getting set up in LineageOS, when I noticed the "Install magisk" button inside the magisk App (came with my version of TWRP) and pressed it out of curiosity. So then it rebooted and now I'm stuck on the bootup screen with no other available action than rebooting. It doesn't get recognised by ADB, it doesn't enter download mode and I can't access TWRP.
go to downloading mode then flash stock firmware via odin
