I flash via ODIN - it says PASS. I reboot using power and up. I remove the power button as soon as it flashes black, but it keeps going back into my ROM and not recovery. I've tried all combinations. Any suggestions?
Maybe you are releasing the power button too early.
The boot loader must boot with the button combination pressed.

Hello. I have a razr I and decided to unlock the bootloader. I tried the button combination power + volume down several times, but the phone just powers up normally (actually rhe screen flashes for a second, but doesn't go into fastboot mode. I trided using adb reboot fastboot but the device just reboots. What can I do about it?
NVM, just did it by fastboot reboot bootloader...
Ok, one more thing. It seems my device ignores the key combo, but I was still able to get into fastboot mode by using adb. However, I have tried to flash a custom recovery with no success.
I tred using the supplied installer and after rebooting I get to the open robot screen with the red exclamation mark. Then, after holding some keys (not sure if power or power + volume down I get into recovery, but it's still the stock android recovery. Then I tried flashing the recovery image from fastboot mode. It sait the recovery was flashed, but still cannot boot into recovery. What's wrong with my phone?

Just incase you need to do it in the future:
Hold volume down, then hold the power button. When it begins to vibrate release the power button and keep the volume down button pressed until you get into fastboot.

Alright. So how about the never appearing CWM recovery?
So the kids changed the password on the tablet so I cannot unlock it. The tab is not rooted. If I try to boot holding power and volume up nothing happens. It just boots normally.
I tried putting the latest firmware on the SD and booting but nothing happens. Just boots normally.
Do I have any options here?
Thanks a bunch.
Hey there! Try to boot pressing volume down and power or middle volume and power. It should get you in recovery and you should be able to reset from there. You should see an android with an exclamation mark, then press volume down to get in recovery.

Seems any key combination I try does not work. Power+Volume up, Power+ Volume down, Power+middle/both
It just always boots normally.
And if I try to user adb to reboot into recovery it tells me to check my device to give it authorization which I cannot do since I can't unlock it.
Have a SM-T813. Attempting to use Odin to flash TWRP. All goes well be it keeps rebooting back into the normal recovery. I've tried different methods....with and without auto-reboot. I've read where some devices will replace the updated recovery if the proper key sequence is not used but I think that may be part of the issue. When done flashing I hit the power button and vol down button but instead of powering down it seems to power back up/reboot precluding me from hitting the proper key sequence to enter recovery mode. Home + Vol UP + Power.
And btw I have Allow OEM Unlocking and Allow USB debugging set.
Am I missing a procedure?

I have a 713 and the procedure is kind of funky but is the same. See lines 5-7 below. You literally need to move one finger from volume down to volume up while the fingers on power and home stay put.

Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
Yep finally figured out the one finger deal from vol down to vol up. Installed and working fine now.
Hi.
I am running stock 5.1. Phone is unlocked according to recovery - it states "unocked status 3". When I try to flash TWRP it does not stick. When I press volume down to choose reboot recovery it just turns off. When I try volume down and power to boot it comes back with an android on it's back saying no command.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
I sorted it.
I was pressing the power button instead of volume up when trying to choose boot recovery after twrp flash.
Hello, I'm having some problems with my M31, it keeps going into boot frequently every day. Whenever there is a call or any activity like opening the app it switches off and only turns back on if I press and hold the power button with volume keys. I tried to reset it hard but it will not go into recovery mode. I press and hold the power and volume up button but instead of recovery mode, it turns on. I don't know what to do, please help!
Recovery Android12: press and hold Volume Up and Power then plugin USB cable to PC
