Hello,
I own a lenovo a7000-a. Today I tried to root it with some one click apps like kingo, srs and iroot but all failed. After sometime I tried to access the recovery mode only to find out that it had been in 'meta' mode and now it won't allow me to access the recovery menu. The phone is operating normally though.
Is there any way I can disable that 'meta' mode? Thanks in advance
U don't need to go to meta mode.. U have to press vol+ vol- and power ... And u can't root it with cwm u have to flash twrp and then root
I have the same problem with my lenovo a916. After a failed try to install twrp since there is no version for my model available I flashed to stock rom and now I cannot enter recovery mode. Now when I press vol down and power up it entered meta mode. Can someone help?

Well I managed to flash twrp and a custom rom (resurrection remix) without any problem recently. If I remember correctly there are some unofficial twrp builds for Lenovo a916, you can try flashing it.

Thank you both but I tried this one but i cannot seem to be able to make this TWRP Recovery work unless I root my phone and even then it only works when I access it by choosing reboot in recovery mode when the phone is running. When I try to access it when opening the phone with the require button combination the phone just freezes or enter in meta mode again.
It seems its messed up for good and I can't do anything about it :/
Thanks for your time anyway guys

Sir, I want to know that how to open custom recovery in micromax a27 by key combinations. I have successfully flashed cwm recovery in my device & also I can go to recovery mode by quickboot or rom manager, but can't able to go to recovery by key combinations. The power & vol+ is opening the stock recovery mode not the cwm recovery mode, so, I need a way to open cwm recovery when my mobile is bricked. I have searched the whole forum but can't find any solution. Pls help.

Don't believe anyone ever really figured that one out. I just read a bunch of threads about your issue and they all concluded the same way - no easy way to use button combos to boot directly to CWM. Something to do with the init.rc file that gets loaded from the boot.img. Can't just change it because it will get rewritten on reboot. So, a couple different people suggested that they were able to get into CWM while the phone was off or bootlooping by just plugging it into the computer and using : adb reboot recovery . That seems odd to me, but I am not as familiar with these kinds of devices because they don't sell / use them here in the US, but saw it on a couple of different threads, so hope it works for you!

You don't need root to install a custom ROM, only TWRP.
Try using adb reboot-recovery

I cant install the new eragon v3 with u new twpr. I've read the FAQ, you will have some previous version link, i can flash the eragon with the tool??
Hi guys, need a bit of help. I followed the following guide and seems like a new recovery has been installed on my note 2 but no root or twrp. Any ideas ?
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-root-and-unroot-redmi-note-2/
Phone is fine but i do need to root and have twrp installed on it. Alternatively, do you have a link where I can achieve this easily as I want to put a a new rom on my phone. Sorry for the amateurish questions, its been a while since i have installed custom roms
Many thanks
This guide is old.
When I received my RN2 I installed TWRP from the Updated app, but now this is not possible anymore.
You have to flash TWRP image via fastboot.
Look at Fastboot Install Method here: https://twrp.me/devices/xiaomiredminote2.html
The image could be downloaded from: https://dl.twrp.me/hermes/twrp-3.0.2-0-hermes.img
Remember to keep vol+ pressed when you'll restart using fastboot reboot until it enter TWRP to prevent original recovery from restoring.
Once you are done, you'll be able to flash SuperSU.
Ok, ill try that. Thing is that I have lost fastboot, when i do power + volume up, i get to the TWRP 2.8.7 screen. Is this a problem ?

power + volume up is to enter recovery
To enter fastboot use power + volume down.
EDIT:
if with power + volume up you are entering TWRP, there is not need to do other than install supersu (unless you want to update TWRP).
Many thanks. Got this sorted. Running cm at the mo, cool. What is the best rom in ur opinion by the way? Any oxygen based roms?
I don't know the current status of CM on RN2, but generally speaking, IMHO ported ROM are not better then official ROM because there is always something not working.
Unfortunately there are no sources for RN2.

Success!
Successfully booting into TWRP using this method. Thanks. My firmware is S040 (year 2017).
Dude, can you reupload the TWRP3 file from google drive? It got deleted. THANKS!
First of all, Thank you for read this post.
Second, Please watch my video on the link below:
To be honest, I have change a few handset before but never seen problem like this before.
So, I'm actually have difficulty to boot into recovery again everytime I like to reboot recovery from TWRP itself.
Not just reboot recovery, but also bootloader. So, the one that normal only reboot system option. Even when I try to clicked the reboot recovery or bootloader, it straight goes to system when it start to booting.
I also already try to install the default recovery (the one that only show phone and USB cable) from my phone in order to erase the previous recovery.img, and after that reinstall the TWRP recovery mode. But the problem is never dismiss. Its back, I still cannot access the recovery mode from the TWRP itself.
So, what should I do if I want my TWRP normal again? The only installation method that I still haven't to try yet is fastboot method from PC because I'm using macintosh and didn't have windows PC at my home.
So, if there anyone here know what should I do to fix it, please let me know. If u can't download the video, please also have a look to this picture...maybe it will help you to understand what I mean

Of course I can enter to TWRP by pressing the hard key. That's never be a problem for me.
My problem is, when I'm in TWRP, i never can booting into recovery again. Instead of go to recovery. It always booting to the system. Is that a common?
Before no but after 7.3.9 ROM and until now for me yes.
