Cannot enter recovery - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had bricked my phone and falshed (rootable) 5.0.2 ftf. I now can start it and have rooted it, but cannot enter recovery. I had dual recovery installed (volume down for TWRP, up for Philz touch). Now I cannot enter either of them and the phone just boots normally. I also tried connecting to comptuer and running command adb reboot recovery. Same thing. I tried rebooting to recovery using TWRP manager app, but it fails. I would like to be able to flash .zip files so this is why I want it.

[Q] Freezes trying to enter Recovery

So for some reason I can't get into Recovery. I was using TWRP just fine and running CM. I wanted to jump to CM 12 but had an older version of TWRP. I used their app to try to install a newer version. Now whenever I try to enter Recovery it freezes saying "Entering Recovery..." at the top. I tried to flash CWM using ROM Manager but same issue.
I just tried holding the power button and selecting Reboot>Bootloader. That worked, but selecting recovery makes it freeze with the "Entering Recovery..." as well.
I'm at a loss and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Use fastboot to erase cache, and then to install the latest TWRP (you can get fastboot flashable .img from the TWRP website).

Help flashing TWRP

So I bought recently a Redmi Note 2.
Want to flash TWRP, try using flashify but learn the hard why that through that app... Don't work.
Through adb, cmd flash the TWRP well, but when I go to recovery, still have the MI recovery, have all the drivers installed, adb, Xiaomi drivers and Mediatek Vcom.
So my last resort is flash TWRP through updater app. But that will work?
I have the global stable 7.2.2, because I have to flash this rom with SP Flash Tool when flashify method went all wrong.
Any help?
I just ran into this issue as well. I suspect the issue might be that the stock ROM replaces TWRP with it's own recovery upon reboot. Did you try rebooting directly into recovery after flashing the recovery image?
EDIT: Can confirm the issue is as suspect. On boot the MIUI rom will attempt reload the stock recovery.
TWRP should be able to patch this. After entering fastboot and flashing the new recovery, do not reboot using fastboot. Instead, hold power until the phone switches off. Then hold volume-up and press power. When the Mi logo shows, release all buttons. You should enter TWRP and it *should* offer to prevent your ROM from replacing it.
Yep, that works, didn't reboot to system and TWRP works.

[Solved] TWRP Recovery brick my device on Marsmallow

Hello. I reinstalled stock ROM and downloaded Marshmallow updates but when I flash the recovery with SP Flash Tool or with fastboot, I press Vol+ and Power, and recovery appears, but when I restart the device, stay stuck on BLU Logo. Any way to fix it?
Edit (Solved): I flashed the recovery, flashed SuperSu zip and solved.
Did you enter the recovery and set system to rw?
I had the same problem. once i flashed SuperSU and it booted just fine.

S3 reboot from download mode to recovery using software

Hello together,
I currently want to install a custom recovery twrp for lineage os.
I come to Download mode. But I can't reboot to recovery because the volume up button is not Working any more.
When I reboot in normak mode and from there to recovery mode using adb reboot recovery then the custom recovery is overwritten.
As I read this is a "feature" in the Samsung Software that recovery id overwritten with stock recovery during normal boot.
So the question is: can i boot from download mode to recovery with software. In odin mode i can't connect using adb. As there is no fastboot for Samsung devices I can't connect using a command line adb. So any chance to do it with defect volume up button?
Thanks for any ideas in advance.
Have you root access? I don't think, but if you have you can use "flashify" to flash twrp.img in recovery partition and then use "Reboot to recovery" to boot twrp. You find both in play store.
Edit: you can flash a old 4.1 firmware and use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 to have SuperSU and cwm, then in cwm you can flash twrp in zip file
Tapastalking
Thanks
Hi thanks for the idea. This was the other option but needs root. I thought there is an easy solution with something like adb in odin mode. In fastboot I could do that.... so I thoguht there might be a pendant with Samsung smartphones.
You need root to change the recovery.
Beamed in by telepathy.
It worked but Encryption failed and after the password lineageos hangs.
Is there any possibility to boot into Recovery from odin / download mode using adb or anything other.
With a jig i will come to download mode.

Twrp flash successful....but booting into stock recovery instead of twrp recovery

I am using a REDMI 3S(having MIUI 10). I unlocked it's bootloader and tried to flash TWRP recovery into my phone...I installed the adb and fastboot (1.30 as the latest ones were not installing).. and download the twrp.img and successfully flashed the recovery.... But as soon as I tried to enter the bootloader and enter into recovery mode.. instead of opening the recovery it boots into system and then when I open the recovery it opens the stock recovery....
I have also tried to directly open the recovery through the fastboot commands but it only boots into system.... I even tried to fastboot reboot and hold VOLUME(+), VOLUME (-), POWER BUTTON to open the recovery but it opens into system only... Please help me I want to install the recovery...
