Can't enter recovery mode or bootloader mode (SOLVED) - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've unlocked the bootloader and i've flashed TWRP but i can't enter recovery mode or bootloader mode , I tried entering it with adb and i've tried with the buttons and it doesn't work
can anyone help me?
my phone is xperia z2 , android version 6.0.1 , build number 23.5.A.0.575
Edit:
I've managed to solve this problem, i've downloaded the custom kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/kernel-elitekernel-v1-t3427540
I've flashed it to my device using flashtool https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0smW6BbBawgWjJGMmhNZlR1NkU/view in this link (The method to flash kernel by flashtool is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAAtRN9EyAo )
After flashing elite kernel when i power off my z2 then power it back on when the sony logo appears an orange LED light appears with it then i press the volume up and volume down buttons repeatedly once this LED light appears and then it takes me to TWRP.

Are you on stock kernel? Have you flashed a custom kernel (with a recovery) or did you install it with xparts? You have to press volume down when the notification led lights up (or just press volume down again and again)
I'm on Stock Kernel

I'm on Stock Kernel
I've just updated the GB (2.3.4) to ICS (4.0.4) using Flashtool (for keeping phone rooted)
I've never entered recovery mode and in fact I don't no how to do that
Tried to press it over and over, keep pressing it from the begining, start pressing (or keeping pressed) when it shows XPERIA logo and blablabla
None would work
It just vibrates and brings up the safemode

If you used xparts on locked bootloader then just keep on pressing the volume rockers and touch the Sony logo simultaneously. Then you will be into CWM.
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
U sure that u have installed recovery?( Via xparts or other)
Coz the stock kernel or rom by otself doesn't have a recovery.

[Q] How to enter recovery mode in Xperia P

I have a stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 installed on my xperia P handset. I wanted to install the custom rom CM 11 on my xperia. So I first rooted my handset using Doomlord Easy rooting toolkit. Then I copy pasted the custom Roms zip file in the internal storage. Then in order to install the custom rom I need to boot into the recovery mode of xperia P.
So I first tried using Quick Boot but it goes on rebooting to the regular jelly bean OS and doesn't enter the recovery mode.
Could anyone guide me which step I actually missed for installing the custom rom. If a perfect guide is provided I would be very grateful.
press power button + vol up button for 5 seconds... it will vibrate 1 time.. it will reboot.now keep pressing vol down key or power button ((because in some kernel key is different.)) key until it displays a menu in blue fonts.it's clockworkmod recovery.:good:

I tried doing the steps as guided by you. On pressing the volume up key and the power button it vibrates 1 time then I kept on pressing the power button. So then the phone booted in safe mode again and again and then when I stopped pressing the power button the phone booted normally again in Jelly Bean. Is there any problem with unlocking the bootloader. I have received a key for unlocking the bootloader on my GMail account when I requested it on the sony's website.
did u tried with volume down key to enter recovery..? u said that u wanna install cyanogenmod ..so u need a custom kernel which can be found in same zip file of rom named 'boot.img'.& & a custom kernel needs unlocked bootloader. if u have to unlock your bootloader ..u have to search ..it's very easy and can be found on this forum,too(( if not pm me i'll send detailed steps.)).& yes,u are gonna need that key which you received to unlock bootloader .
u can always use ( fast boot ) to flash cm11
it`s better and best ......
any ways u could inter recovery mood by pressing volm+ 2 time`s after the phone vibration ....when sony log show...
its always work
If you installed CMW, to enter it I push about 10 or 15 times, while the phone is turning on, until it loads the cmw

If u wanna help at least write it the right way...
For CWM, turn on phone, when it first shows the Sony logo start pressing various times (Volume - ) key (don't push one time and keep the finger on the key!!) until it enters cwm recovery.

For me it works only with Volume '+'
In CM11 zip, u have the boot.img... flash it using fastboot (doesn't work on Windows 8 or 8.1), then u'll have the CM11 kernel... turn on the phone and when it is starting, it'll vibrate when showing sony logo, just tap the power button when vibrates and will enter in CWM, then just follow the tutorial in CM11 topic.
so what's the right way to reboot in recovery mode? I've this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-0-t2626639

I got same problem to reboot in CWM mode. Following all recommendations in this thread. Did not work.
However when coming back to one of the Xperia Phone instructions to reboot in CWM, I tried again to follow those instructions given by following links :
Sony Xperia P CyanogenMod 11 Project page Thread on xda-developers https://sites.google.com/site/androdevlinux/xperia-p/xperia-p-roms/cm11-download/
Here are extracts which I strictly followed :
First time flashing CyanogenMod 11.0 your device, or coming from another ROM? You need to be on Unlocked bootloader
Fastboot kernel(boot.img) from the rom zip
Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery
Format data and cache
Flash the Zip
Reboot​
The "Press power button when Device vibrates at boot splash/logo to enter TWRP recovery" is really the trick to enter CWM mode ....
i installed a custom rom, but due to some reason it hasnt installed properly and not letting me access settings. and moreover i am not able to install CWM recovery as vol - button way is not wrking.
Wht shd I do?? please help

Can you have access to the fastboot (blue light VOL+UP + Plug) ? If you can flash TWRP custom recovery and flash the stock rom via TWRP
No, can't boot into fastboot. After pressing power+volume up/down it shows green led and charging icon.

to enter in fastboot don't touch the "Power" juste hold volume up and plug your sony
Tried that too but not working. No blue light
Solved.....by reinstalling drivers and some magic. Don't know what.

Recovery mode access on Z2 wifi tablet

Hi there
I beg your help, I wanted to install the aicp pie version on my tablet spg512 model but I don't understand why, I can't boot on the recovery mode, the device always do a normal start.
I've tried to use the buttons combinaison:
Power + sound - : nothing
Power + sound + & usb cable: download mode (blue light)
Power + sound - &+ : nothing
I've correctly flashed twrp with fastboot as described in some tutos, also tried with older twrp versions and the bootloader has been unlocked by sony serial code procedure.
When I ask fastboot oem unlock, the system told me that the device is already rooted but when I ask suchecker/flashify/twrp app told me that the device is not rooted
The device is recognazised by fastboot and adb. What I'm doing wrong to get access to the recovery mode?
thanks for yours helps
edit: in console fastboot reboot recovery : fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target recovery
I'm not sure about your experience, but for me when I reboot the tablet it shows the Sony logo for a few seconds and then the notification LED turns on in a green color. If I then hold the volume down button during the time that green LED is lit it will change to purple which indicates it's booting into twrp recovery.
I also had the issue that TWRP didn't start up on my tablet, no LED lights, no key-combinations. I described it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83555173&postcount=29 . Maybe my solution could help you?
