Not able to go into recovery mode - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a H815 Singapore version. Not rooted. No matter what method I tried that I found online it will just boot regularly and not able to go into recovery mode.
Anyone has any idea?

Although i have an international i had the same problem.
What i did was boot into fastboot. Then run the command "fastboot boot *whatever your recovery is called*
then copy your recovery into your internal storage. Once you have boot into twrp install the twrp image by clicking on the image button on the bottom right.

I can't boot into custom recovery (TWRP)

I'm having a problem flashing a custom recovery on my Nexus 7. I'm trying to install the TWRP recovery for the "flo" version and it doesn't seem to install. I mean, it says it does in fastboot mode but when I reboot to recovery it goes to the stock recovery instead (the green android with the red triangle) and just stays on that screen for minutes. What gives?

Yep. Solved it though. Apparently in 4.4 they've made it so that the device will replace TWRP with the stock recovery immediately after rebooting if you don't boot into TWRP immediately after installing it using:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
Then you have to change the name of a file while in TWRP. In TWRP go to Mount and select System. Then go back to the main screen and press Advanced > File Manager. Browse to /system and select a file named recovery-from-boot.p and rename it to recovery-from-boot.bak. And you should be able to go into TWRP like normal.

Could you please describe this procedure detailed?
Where can I find the "Mount" option?
Must my device being rooted?
Some tricks for you guys if you are stuck like I was :
-if you can't boot to custom recovery, try naming your custom recovery img "recovery.img" instead of "twrp.img" when you flash it.
so --> "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" will be the command you execute.
-if you can't flash recovery at all, try executing the command without the phone plugged, then plug the device when you see the prompt "<waiting for any device>"
Hope this helps !

Stuck on TWRP logo

Hello, my problem here is whenever I wanted to boot to recovery, it got stuck at the TWRP logo and cannot enter the recovery. Can anybody help? I already tried to flash it manually with the latest image and it still brings the same problem.

Did you follow the instructions to flash TWRP step-by-step?
*(Before starting, rename your TWRP image to twrp-recovery.img for convenience)
*This step is optional
Put your device into fastboot
Connect it to your PC
Open an adb command window
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery.img
Then once it's done, you can disconnect your device and turn it off.
Once it's off, you can boot into recovery mode, and you should be able to access the recovery menu.
Cheers!

TWRP, how to make it work?

Hello!
I unlock the bootloader, installed TWRP (several versions) but it doesn't work.
I enter in recovery, select YES in both options, the green android shows up and the phone just boot normally. TWRP options never displayed.
Any help on this? Plz...
Thank you!
Download: https://dl.twrp.me/h815/
1. fastboot boot recovery your_recovery_image.img
2. flash twrp image from booted twrp
Or fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
No ! This doesnt work. Read the official twrp xda thread.
Hi!
I tried all that, flashed all TWRP versions, all available versions of european rom for LG G4 H815, nothibg... the damn thing just don't work on my phone
Have you followed the right steps?
First use fastboot boot twrp.img (boot not flash)
Then within twrp copy the twrp image from your pc by adb or mtp then use the button to flash an image and then choose the copied twrp to flash to recovery
Now I think you got me... I followed the tutorial how to install twrp but, in the beggining I was having problems with the drivers. Win10 was changing them on every command, and after so much time (I went to sleep at 5 AM ) trying everything that it could work, maybe I just mess on that step....
Thanks for your help. As soon as I have time again, I'll check that step.
Thank you very much @steadfasterX !!!
It works
I followed this tutorial: http://www.technobuzz.net/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g4/
Thats why I got mistaken... Thanks once again

TWRP not persistent

Hi guys,
I've just updated to newest OOS firmware wich is 5.1.2 and I'm facing a weird problem.
Every time I flash codeworks TWRP and reboot to system, the next time i try to boot to recovery it boots to the original recovery.
It's like when I flash TWRP it doesn't remain persistent. When i flash it through fastboot and straightly boot from fastboot to recoverry I succeed to get in TWRP but as soon as I reboot to system and try to boot to recovery I reach the original OnePlus recovery.
Is anyone facing the same problem ?
And also do you have any idea about what i could do to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !
If you don't have root or custom kernel its normal, plus you should use blu spark's twrp, its newer and more reliable.

Indeed, I just needed to flash magisk to get it persistent. I'll try blu spark's one as you suggested.
Thank you very much for your answer !
Cheers !
Nothing to do with recoveries or kernel. After you do the fastboot flash recovery TWRP in fastboot, do this: "fastboot boot TWRP". I believe that's the right command. Basically after you flash it, manually boot to recovery through fastboot one time. After that it'll work from inside the phone or with the button combination with the phone off.
Jesus people are lazy these days.
First off there are official twrp versions for a reason!
Download the latest version: https://dl.twrp.me/dumpling/
Reboot into flash boot with the following command from your rom: adb reboot bootloader
With phone in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery 'twrp.img'
(You don't need to type out the entire file path you can just drag the file into the terminal and it'll insert the file location)
The reason you're not getting back into that recovery is because you're not booting into the recovery before you reboot into your ROM.
There is an option to boot straight into the recovery from the fastboot mode

Actually not that lazy because I used to do what you mentionned.
The thing is that a flash of Magik is needed to patch twrp. That's the step I forgot in the procedure and explained here.
So before being unpleasant, please know what you're talking about...
Cheers !

Interesting. Does "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-flo.img" work?
A sure way to fix it is to reflash the factory image and then TWRP.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
But if you wish to investigate it, please post the output of...
fastboot getvar all
fastboot oem gpt-info
and 'install' the following zip in twrp, find 'logs.tgz' in the root of internal storage and post it here.
