I am not sure about OTA yet, maybe for OTA it will overwrite recovery and must do the process again.
Well before the android one rom you could not boot into recovery by holding vol + and power.
Unfortunately during the bootloader unlock process you cannot use the volume button.

Did you use a different method to root, because the one I posted needs you to enter recovery in order to install it.
You need to clear cache if you havent already

Bump for a clever answer
I want to flash a CM11 into my tablet, so I unlocked bootloader.(Devise's Build Number: Version V10.26.1.18 )
------> I flashed a CWMrecovery 6.0.4.5 into it .
----- > I reboot to bootloader can't get into recovery, so i select a full wipe in bootloader.
------>Tablet stucked in boot screen. I can't flash anything into it, because i can't get into bootloader & recovery(Even use Vol - &Power Button).
How can i get into bootloader again?
Or recovery?
Or flash a Offical rom back into it without recovery?
Unfortunately wiping from the boot loader on a custom recovery can hard brick the device. 6.0.4.5 is very old, the latest cwm is 6.0.5.1.
Try flashing that from the boot loader.
But how can get into bootloader?
I have try press Vol Down & Power button, it didn't work,and my computer said “< waiting for device >“。
Is it possible to connect with PC once more?
Try the SD card stock update method
see if this works... this is the best method I have seen to recover the TF701T. Try the manual SD card update method by downloading the correct firmware for your device first from Asus. then see if there is a zip inside of a zip file if so unpack it once. Rename the zip file to T4_SDUPDATE.zip and put the zip firmware file on the root of the SD card and power on or restart your device. it should detect a firmware update. this is the procedure I used when I bought my tablet.
I updated my tablet to the latest stock firmware before I UNLOCKED and installed the latest CWM recovery. Then I booted into stock and shut down then did a full backup of stock, then I flashed custom ROM and latest SuperSU... if you find this helpful, please click the Thanks button below!

Sorry mate, the only way to get into the bootloader is with Power and Vol Down. If that does not work you cannot access fastboot, you cannot access recovery and the tablet is a brick. Only a new mainboard can revive it.
I am not sure, if bootloader located in SPI flash it is not very difficult to reprogram it with external programmer.

I've successfully rooted my phone using these steps:
Download the TWRP recovery image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/vivo-xl/development/recovery-t3311601 credit @jemmini
Download SuperSU from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-beta
Enable Developer Options
Enable OEM unlock
Enable USB Debugging
Reboot phone bootloader (adb reboot bootloader or vol up + power)
fastboot oem unlock
vol up to confirm unlock
your phone will ask you to reboot but vol up and vol down doesn't do anything. (other were having issue with boot looping here because of this..)
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img (the file downloaded in step 1)
fastboot reboot
while the phone is rebooting, press and hold vol up (this will launch TWRP recovery)
Optional: do not enable write access (for backup purpose)
select wipe, format data, type in yes (this fixes the boot looping issue -- credit @acotto)
now make a backup of your phone
Copy supersu.zip to your phone
install supersu.zip
To make TWRP recovery permanent: rename or delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p
reboot
your phone will take awhile to boot up since it has to rebuild all of your applications for the first time.
Edit:
I haven't figured out how to make TWRP permanent yet. Blu is restoring the stock recovery on reboot.
Thanks for the write up, looks really promising.

Don't unlock bootloader, it's not needed.
For now, use recovery restore to original ROM, clear data/cache in recovery, then you should be able to boot.

was able to flash the twrp by renaming to recovery.img. but after fastboot reboot, even holding volume up it just reboots like normal?
what version of android should I have installed for this tutorial to work?
Hi everyone,
My Xperia V LT25i cannot enter TWRP recovery mode.
I tried (VolDwn + Pwr) and (VolUp + Pwr) when it's off.
I also tried (adb reboot recovery) and (Boot to Recovery option in QuickReboot App) when it's on.
No luck entering TWRP.
The LED blinked in white for an instance then the phone just went on a normal booting.
This looks like a simple silly question but I have seriously dug into all the similar threads I can find and still no solutions.
Current status of my phone:
Model: LT25i
Android Ver.: 4.3
Firmware: 9.2.A.0.295
Bootloader unlocked: YES (checked by *#*#7378423#*#*)
Rooted: YES (rooted by towelroot and checked by Root Checker Basic)
TWRP installed: YES (flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-tsubasa.img into my phone using App Install Method)
The status of TWRP is not checked since I am not sure whether there's a way to do so.
I opened the app, made a recovery.img and saw it there under my sdcard folder (this means that TWRP is normally functioning right?).
My phone is in extremely good health, not bricked.
I just wanted to try the fantastic ROM StryFlex™ Marshmallow for Xperia V,
following the instructions step by step and got stuck at TWRP.
Please help and thanks for your time reading this thread
if it works like my Xperia Z you can try to put your Xperia T on fastboot. Then rename the TWRP.img to boot.img.
Then in plat-form tools folder open the terminal and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". After that "fastboot reboot". After that the phone reboots automatically into TWRP

Hello,
Thanks for replying.
This method works perfectly. The device booted into TWRP.
But now I am facing the question that it wouldn't boot back to system @@.
Am I suppose to do the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command again and flash back normal boot.img? (If yes, where can I find one?)
Or did I mess something up while flashing StryFlex™ ROM in TWRP?
Thanks for your time reading this thread!
It seems the default bootloader of this phone doesn't support entering recovery by press volumn button. Pressing volumn buttons on powering up is only functional when the phone is connected to PC, moreover, vol up+power will boot into fastboot mode, vol down+power will boot into flashmode which works with flashtool.
---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------
if you are using stock rom, you should do the following steps to enter twrp:
1. Get flashtool ready on PC, and the drivers for your phone;
2. Connect your phone to PC;
3. Power up your phone by pressing vol up+power button to enter into fastboot mode;
4. In flashtool, flash twrp.img with fastboot flash mode;
5. reboot your phone, and it will boot into twrp;
6. when you want to get back to android, pull the kernel.sin out from FTF corresponds to your rom, and flash it in the same way while flashing twrp.img;
7. reboot your phone.

Be sure to download the right type of TWRP that supports booting system after you flash your custom ROM. Mine for example lets me flash Stryflex and after is automatically replaced by the standard one but nothing affects the stability of the ROM.
So you should check on TWRP official site the recovery, rename it into "boot.img", flash it though cmd and then restart in recovery. Do a clean flash (check also the repartition of data), flash ROM + Gapps and then reboot.
It works on my Xperia Z and also another Xperia T from a friend
Hey everyone !
I have a rooted Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) with TWRP custom recovery and, as some of you may know, Nougat update is now available to download using Huawei Firware Finder.
However, a stock recovery is needed in order to get OTA updates and since I couldn't find a stock recovery image by browsing the web, I decided to go back to a full stock ROM.
So I tried to do this the usual way : creating a dload folder, placing the update.app file in it, powering off the phone and back on by pressing simultaneously the volume up, down and power button... but this always lead me right to TWRP, no matter how many times I tried. I restored my phone from soft brick using this method about two months ago with no issue, but now I can't get it to work, even if I release the power button once the phone boots or do any other shady manipulation. Could this have anything to do with the latest TWRP update ?
I also tried to do the "Power on method" by dialing " *#*#2846579#*#*" to go to the project menu and flash the file from here, but it rebooted to TWRP...
I'm at a complete loss here. Can anyone please help me with this ?

I can't. I am stuck on the "Your device is booting now..." screen. If I turn it off, it automatically turns on again to this screen.
Edit : Nevermind, looks like I didn't press the button correctly. Only the recovery was missing, I finally could boot to system by pressing the power button. Then I reinstalled TWRP with ADB and restored my nandroid backup. Back to the start...
I may have a hint about what went wrong. Extracting the Nougat UPDATE.APP file gave me two recovery files : recovery.img and recovery2.img. I only flashed the first. Any idea why there were two of them ? I am going to try with the FULLOTA-MF file (tried with the FULLOTA-MF-PV file before), or maybe should I try to extract files from the previous update ?
EDIT 2 : Still stuck with TWRP. I extracted several UPDATE.APP files and all have two RECOVERY.IMG files. I tried flashing them both, one after another and then reboot to erecovery, but TWRP is still here. How can I get rid of it and get back to stock recovery please ?

I have flashed several times Twrp recovery on my honor 5c, and i didn't even had to flash the stock recovery to get back to stock rom. I had placed the dload folder with full update in it, and used the 3 button method to flash the full rom. And i was once again in full stock including recovery. Try this. If it doesn't help, just flash the stock recovery. Then type fastboot reboot, let it boot. Then power it off. Now press volume up + power button. Just see which recovery it boots.

Well, I tried with or without uninstalling SuperSU which has an option to try to restore stuck boot and recovery images (which didn't work in my case).
I used adb to reboot into bootloader, from where I flashed either RECOVERY.IMG or RECOVERY.IMG and then RECOVERY2.IMG which I got from Huawei Update Extractor and reboot from fastboot. Then I tried to power off and back on my device by pressing volumes up and power button which led me to TWRP or endless booting screen. Flashing boot image from Update file gave me the same result.

Did that. I even flashed the previous version of the official TWRP beforehand. Still nothing. I even wiped everything from TWRP except internal storage and external SD card and still, the three buttons method led me right back to Meticulus TWRP.
However, I did notice something very strange. If I boot normally by pressing the power button and then, on the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen, press the volume up button to "boot into erecovery to restore my device", it boots into... official TWRP 3.1.0.0 !!! What the hell ?!
Do you have any idea ? This whole situation is so weird...
EDIT : This is just complete nonsense. I even wiped the internal storage and this abomination of TWRP 3.1.0.0 was still there. I really am at a complete loss here. ><
