Can't power off phone or enter recovery. - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Following official Magisk installation guide.
Phone is a Snapdragon S10+, China/HongKong model.
Just Odin'd Android 12, rebooted and installed Magisk app, repaired tar with recovery option because no ramdisk then Odin'd all again with new fixed AP tar.
The problem now is according to the guide I have to get into android's recovery mode somehow.
I've tried all manner of key combinations like Bixby+vol up+ power etc and nothing works except download mode again.
Do I really have to wait for the phone to run out of power?

This is driving me nuts, anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty sure the original firmware is damaged..here is what it would look like in English.

It is official originally. That message is because I flashed a magisk repaired AP tar to try and gain root. The next step was to enter recovery.
From https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#magisk-in-recovery
Heading: system-as-root

Tried again using a Canary build magisk, was able to finally get into recovery after flashing modified tar however the only option was a factory reset. Oh well..back to the drawing board.

Hey I got it working. Went back to magisk 24.3.
Was checking recovery option box before the AP patching as advised because no Ramdisk but a friend told me not to check recovery anyway and I successfully rebooted twice and now have root and Zygisk.
Thanks for your input!

[Q] Clockwork Recovery Problem

I am trying to get the latest version of Cognition onto the wife's phone, but it's not exactly cooperating. I used Odin and wiped everything back to stock, but now I can't get Clockwork Recovery to work with me. When I try rebooting into recovery, I'm met with this:

That was after trying the reinstall package option. Any idea what I'd doing wrong? I'm so used to everything being easy with my Nexus 1 and G2!
select reinstall packages again...you have to do it twice the first time.
Keeps failing. That normal?

If my goal is to maintain root and install another rom, the first link is my best bet, right?
Sorry I didn't pay enough attention to the screenshot in your op.
Either method pirate linked will get you to the point where you can flash a new rom.
Allrighty, followed the directions in the first link, and now I get this:
I seem to have sorted everything out. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

[Q] Recovery Imag is not working.

I am trying to install this custom Rom at the moment.
My problem is that the recovery image that I am supposed to use doesn't really work for me. I use AIO Toolkit and root with the recovery image. Than I want to install SuperUser through through the Recovery Mode. But the phone constantly displays the LG Logo. No Bootloop just stuck at the logo. PWR + -Vol doesn't work. It just stays at the Logo. When I use AIO Toolkit and reinstall another recovery image (e.g. ClockworkMod 6.0.1.5). It works fine. But when I install the Rom then it just does nothing. Still 2.3.4 Gingerbread V20Q and not CM10. So it looks like I really need the recovery to get it to work.
Anybody know how to make the recovery image in the thread to work?
I can't post in the thread itself because I don't have 10 posts yet sadly.

Number 3 does not work. Number 2 for example does.

You need to flash the NE3 Odin package first, then you can update to OC7. You can't go directly from 4.2.2 to 5.0.1 or you will have the exact problem you're experiencing.

Post the log. You have to boot the phone into download mode by holding power and vol-, are you doing this?

Note 5: bad firmware/OS - can't get around it

I'm working on a Galaxy Note 5 that I am trying to reset the firmware on. Someone's installed a custom build (that's verified in the "about phone" details) and it co-opts the volume down button boot sequence, so I can't get into download or safe mode. I've attached a screenshot. Has anyone seen this before and how to I purge this thing?

Your image isn't showing.
Image not showing
Ok, let's hope this works as a link to the image:
This happens with the power-volume down and power-volume down-home sequences, so I can't get it into safe mode. Someone's definitely put a custom image on, but I'm not sure how to clean it/replace it.
The power-volume up sequence works fine, but since this is a custom image, it won't get cleaned off by wiping the cache and/or factory reset.
Apparently, since I'm a newbie here, I can't post external links, which makes the forced external URLs for images a little useless to me right now...
Can't you just power off, boot into download mode and Odin a stock firmware, then re-root after?

That's the thing - whoever did this co-opted the sequence to boot into download mode - power + volume-down/power + volume-down + home. I did find a way to do it without needing to go into boot mode, but I can't post the link here because I'm a newbie! That should solve my problem - I'm just setting it up on Linux and I'll keep people posted on the solution.
What's happened is that someone's basically done a custom firmware/kernel combo that makes it impossible to get into download mode, so you have to totally backdoor it. When I get it working and verify it, I'll post the solution here.

@Samarimama I have edited your post to point to the article you searched. Please don't post long links.
@bilatche What happens if you hold down the Power button for at least 10 seconds?

absolutely nothing.... I have tried to recharge the phone, but still booting on DL screen....
The only solution I see : go back on last stock firmware via odin.
I will try this week.

If you're unable to reboot the phone, this won't help you. Have you tried holding down the power button until the phone does something?
nothing with long press on power....
here is the screen appearing 1 second at boot before being stuck on DL screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I will see if reinstall stock rom fixes the DL issue...
maybe it's an error due that I didn't have flashed vbmeta after twrp ?

You don't have the official firmware, you need to flash the official.
