I tried installing TWRP after turning off the bootloader. I clicked on Recovery in the Fastboot and now it's stuck in "Entering Recovery...". The phone restarts with that screen every few seconds. Holding power+volume down doesn't do anything (unless I'm not timing it right). What can I do?

I know this is late, but I just went through the same damn thing. Twrp 3.1.0.0 forces a recovery loop, install 3.0.0.2 instead.
As soon as you see the "entering recovery" screen, hold volume up and power until your phone restarts. (If it goes back to recovery, wait until it loops and do it again) as soon as your screen goes black from the hard restart, hold volume down and power to boot into your phone regularly.
After your phone boots, use the twrp app to install the previous version of twrp. (Like I said, avoid 3.1.0.0 like the plague. I've already brought this issue up with the recovery handler, hopefully it gets resolved.)

There is an alternative that I've found very useful. And have tested it out several times while attempting to in-OS factory reset. If you're stuck on the 'loading recovery' screen and it continuously reboots, perform the following steps.
1. Press the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time, and keep held for 10 seconds until the screen has gone off.
2. Once you know it's gone off, quickly switch from Volume Up to Volume Down, keep held down.
-This should let you be able to enter into the Bootloader menu. From there, you will require Minimal ADB/Fastboot installed on your computer. Opening up an administrative command prompt within the ADB folder by pressing down Shift and right clicking on the window of the folder(or in my case since Windows 10's new update no longer opens that up, instead opens PowerShell, copy and past cmd.exe from System into that folder (DO NOT CUT AND PASTE, OR DRAG AND DROP)), type in the following.
fastboot devices
-If your device shows up in this list, then you're good to go. Head over to the TWRP website and find your HTC 610 TWRP version, or do as I do and just select 2.8.4.0 and download it.
-Rename the downloaded file as "twrp.img" and drag it into the ADB/Fastboot folder in which you loaded up the cmd prompt from before.
-Next, back to the command prompt you loaded earlier (if you haven't closed it by now) and type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
-This should copy the file over to your device. After this is completed, go ahead and reboot or boot into recovery. This last option I've not attempted immediately after flashing TWRP back to the main system, but that's because I'm working with an older version of CW12.

Just holding volume up and power worked for me.After the splash screen appears continue holding volume up but let go of power and it will boot I to go.e screen as usual.I then just used the twrp app and flashed 3.0.2.0

hey,
i got an evo 3d gms 4.0/3.6 and want to root/s-off it. i unlocked it a htcdev and tried to flash a new recovery (4ext/cwm) but both fails. the flashing work fine but when i try 2 start the "recovery" the "htc logo" appears and the screen turns black for a sec and the next "htc logo" appears and the phone starts normaly.
what did i wrong? adb / fastboot shows no errors.
best regards
chris
Just to make sure there is an issue: power down and remove battery for half a minute. After putting it back in, hold volume down then press and hold power. After a few seconds, you should be in the bootloader. Use volume up and down to highlight recovery then press power to select it. Hopefully you'll be in recovery.

or maybe try the command from cmd
change directory to the adb/fastboot folder then type:
adb reboot recovery
hey thx,
i will try it now again.
the reboot recovery command don't work.
"adb reboot recovery" - If this last command does not work, on the phone use the Volume Up/Down Keys and choose "Recovery" manually, press the Power button to select it, I had to do this.
When recovery 4EXT recovery boots and loads

it says: "could not find device"
edit: the "take the battery out" didn't work. same problem.
You could relock the bootloader and run the ruu exe. This would reset everything so you can start over.

Hello everybody,
I've recently refurbished my phone with LGUP and I'm installing TWRP.
I have:
1) Activated OEM unlocking in the developer options menu
2) Flashed the unlock.bin image in the unlock partition from fastboot
3) Rebooted in the bootloader and typed:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-h850.img
(I'm running Linux. LGUP was run with Windows: my VirtualBox VM didn't like LGUP for some reason)
4) Once the partition was successfully flashed with the right recovery, I unplugged the USB cable and the battery from the phone.
Here comes the interesting part: I've done this process 50 different times but I can't seem to get the right key combination to boot into recovery down. It doesn't help that every guide has a slightly different version. Here the average version I've gathered:
1) Press [Power] and [Vol Down] simultaneously until the LG logo appears.
2) Release both buttons immediately and count 1 second.
3) Press repeatedly [Vol Down] until the TWRP logo is displayed.
Thing is, it doesn't work for me. I always end up in the stock ROM. Of course, at the point, it's too late.
Code:
sudo adb reboot recovery
reboots the phone only to show something along the lines of:
Code:
Command not found.
How did you do it?

I've also tried
Code:
sudo fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-h850.img
without success.
Your key combo isn't exactly how it should be @ben569.
Press and hold volume down and the power button together. As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down). Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen, then tap on yes (twice I think).
Don't count to 1 second, just release + press again. That's how it worked for me 2 years ago and several others since then
Good luck :fingers-crossed:
It worked!
Thank you very much! Flashing Lineage 15.1 right now.
EDIT: LineageOS sucessfully installed.
so i m completely lost at what to do,i had latest fulmics installed,i had disabled neccessary pattern after boot option so never had to use pattern but then today on boot,it said unable to use fingerprint,please use pattern which i have sadly forgotten and cant enter phone because of it.Now i tried going into twrp but strangely its periodically blinking at its initial teamwin screen and its stuck there(might have gotten corrupt or something) and now i cant even enter that.What can i do?
Can you try this
1) can you reflash twrp using fastboot. Turn your device off. Plug into PC while holding volume down to enter fastboot. then visit https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/official-european-lg-g5-h850-bootloader-t3363040 and follow part 9. (simply, download latest twrp, put the file into your fastboot directory (I use minimal ADB and fastboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)), open the terminal and type 'fastboot flash recovery twrpxxx.img' where xxx are other characters in the twrp img file.
You may need to flash superSU for Twrp to 'stick' - unsure though, best to be safe
2) unplug your phone, pull the battery and boot into recovery (hold power and vol. down until LG logo is displayed, then release power button and press again quickly - while always holding vol down)
3) once in TWRP, and if you can access it, go to the file manager under advance. Go to the /data/system folder. Scroll down and find the two files with the .key extension. Delete both of them (by tapping on the file and then tapping the Delete button). Then, delete all the files containing the word locksettings.
password.key
pattern.key
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
3) reboot your phone and fingers crossed
Hope this helps
I accidently flashed the lineage 16 recovery instead of lineage 17.1 recovery. I tried to install the 17.1 update through updater but my phone stuck into recovery mode. Neither I can boot into bootloader nor to android. I can''t flash anything. Power + volume down and connect the cable also not working to go into bootloader. Even bootloader option within the recovery also brings me back to recovery mode. ...adb devices command is also showing "device offline". Any help will be appreciated.
you should start from the beginning
is your bootloader still unlocked?

I can't go into fastboot mode. Is there any other way to check it?
Thank you @stukka2006 for replying me. I guess I saved my phone. So here what I did-
1. Extracted the stock firmware (Luckily I had one but can be found in the forum) and copied the dload folder to sdcard (as I was not able to access internal storage). (@stukka2006 your hint to start from the beginning)
2. Power off the phone and pressed Both volume buttons + power button simultaneously. After the vibration I left the power button while still holding both vol buttons till software update screen appears. But software update failed. So I just touched the reboot now option. The phone rebooted to fastboot mode.
3. I installed TWRP but was not able to reboot to recovery through commands and system reboot command brings me back to fastboot mode. So I again power off the device with cable connected and pressed both vol buttons. This time phone showed recovery screen (Should have worked with normal button shortcuts also, I guess) and I flashed the rom and rebooted normally.
Everything is working fine now except that I lost the data.
Happy you got all clear my friend !!!

You are quite lucky to have the stock ROM.

Yeah...who knows when you need it.
I flashed an unofficial Evolution X v6.5 Rom For my Poco F1 today,
it was working fine but then I tried to Reboot into MY Custom Recovery( OrangeFox ) using the Advance Restart Option Exist in Rom.
OrangeFox Recovery Opening Image was Showing but it didn't opened, My phone shut down and rebooted again into the Same OrangeFox Opening Image and then shut down again.
It stuck into Recovery Opening Bootloop.
I tried holding the power button to reboot into system but noting is happening, It is showing same Recovery Opening Image and then shutting down,
I tried holding the power button + Volume UP Button, Same thing was happening Recovery Opening Image and then shutting down.
Luckily when I tried holding the power button + Volume down Button, It opened the bootloader.
So I thought Something happened to the OrangeFox recovery file So I installed the TWRP Recovery with My PC.
BUT Now It showing TWRP Opening Image and then shutting down. Same Recovery Bootloop.
Something( Maybe the Rom ) preventing me from rebooting into any recovery.
I should mention that I didn't installed any new app or anything, I just flashed the rom and then finished the Google setup.
I managed to shut down the phone by holding all 3 button for about 20sec.
But it's not charging anymore, if I plug the to phone to charger it start the whole Recovery Bootloop again.
Please Let me know if you know of any possible solutions.
I managed to fix that issue, In Future if anyone else got same problem in any phone, Then Follow this,
At First Hold all three button for about 25sec to shut down your phone,
at this situation your phone won't charge, if your battery completely drained then your phone might get hard brick, so shut down it at first.
Then download a stable & trustable rom and put that in SD Card or Pendrive( in this case you will be needed an OTG to plug the perdrive into your phone )
Then download the latest TWRP or any other Recovery in your PC. You really need the latest custom Recovery( 0 - 3 Months Old ).
I should let you know, You need to install ADB & Fastboot Drivers on your PC to perform any normal rooting process on your phone, And Download "Android Platform Tools".
Open CMD in "Android Platform Tools" Folder
Connect your phone to your PC in bootloader mode by holding down Power + Volume Down Button.
Then Type in CMD - fastboot devices
To check your device is properly connected or not. If your phone is connected properly then CMD will show a random number and fastboot. If not then connect the phone properly and check the driver.
Then Type - fastboot erase userdata
It will erase all your internal and data.
Then Type - fastboot flash recovery "PUT HERE THE LATEST CUSTOM RECOVERY FULL PATH"
It will flash the custom recovery, IN above command after writing recovery give a space then write the full path or hold and drag the latest custom recovery to command prompt, it will automatically write the full path for you.
After flashing the recovery now you can open the recovery.
Now Open the custom recovery immediately by holding down Power + Volume UP Button.
Then Wipe the Old Rom and flash the new downloaded rom from SD Card or Pendrive.
AND there you go, Now you can reboot into your new system or recovery.
