Beware that if you are thinking of downloading this app to change the look of your recovery, if you are running TWRP, you will have issues. This was designed for phone mode viewing and since TWRP loads and runs in landscape or tablet mode, on our Galaxy Note 8.0 you are going to be missing some key buttons. The reboot button for one. And if you try to install another recovery, thinking this will save your butt, think again. The start or install button that starts the install is also cut off. The only visible button after picking the file is the add another zip button so you are essentially stuck in recovery.
I tried using the volume up and down buttons to get around but that option is not avaliable for some reason.
The way to get out of it is to have a recovery that you can install via Odin. This was the only way to get out of recovery. While stuck in recovery, power down then hold home, volume down and the power button all at the same time to get into download mode. Open Odin, plug in your tablet and hit PDA. Find your tar recovery file and hit open to add the file to Odin. Then hit start. It should only take a couple seconds to complete.
I just wanted to post this as I tried the app and am running a GT-N5110.
I hope this helps to inform someone before they install the app and screw up their tablet.

I decided that it was finally time for me to become adventurous. So, I decided to flash Restless' Pimpdroid ROM. It was sleek, fast and sexy. And no problems were found.
But those perks weren't for me. So I decided to flash back to 4.2.2 stock, with Restless' Stock, fully bloated.
I downloaded the .zip successfully, here's how I done it:
1.) I put the zip to my ext sd card
2.) Went to TWRP recovery
3.) Did a factory reset
4.) Pressed 'Install ZIP'
5.) It said success
6.) Now I rebooted to my bootloader, stuck in a boot loop
7.) Rebooted to TWRP and did a factory reset.
8.) Still the same.
9.) Went back to TWRP and did it again 4 times.
10.) Still the same. Went back to TWRP
11.) Now I selected the advanced wipe.
12.) I checked 'cache', 'dalvik-cache' and '/data'
13.) Rebooted to bootloader
14.) Still the same
15.) Went to TWRP
16.) Logo appeared and vanished
17.) Screen turned off
18.) Can't turn in on.
19.) I started this thread.
Help! Can't turn it on. PC does not detect it (tried to PCs, the one I flashed TWRP with and another PC with the same drivers installed, both running Windows 8.1, retail), cannot force reboot it even with/without plugged in to socket.
Help! I beg you....

UPDATE - I pressed power alone for 10 sec (followed some guy's suggestion whilst browsing for related threads (forgot his name) Then It went into download mode by pressing power+down. I selected cancel and it rebooted to the boot loader. I went to recovery and re-flashed the ROM. Left it for 5 min then said success. Rebooted to boot loader and it showed me the setup. Success! Solvec it by myself. Yay!
Please close. I love you XDA. Long live XDA!

Nice we are happy for you.
Yes do not Press Power for more that 6 to 8 seconds. Then release. Then you can try [Power]+[Volume up or down]. Do your stuff.
Just [Volume Down] will bring you to the Battery Icon if you have some power hook to the USB Port. Some has said it reset the battery registers!! Do not know if it is true.
When installing a Rom, Always FIRST ensure you Wipe Dalvik and Cache, Then program the new Rim. After programing leave it until it finish booting and the Rom start to ask you things. Some may take up to 5 minutes to set up.
I am happy for you.
Hi!
Today I unlocked bootloader and installed a custom rom and everything went fine.
Now, when I tried to flash the camera mod app, I couldn't enter TWRP. When trying to do it with the restart option it shows a broken android and I have to remove battery to get the phone running again. Manual (holidng down vol button + power button, as well as holding down buttons and releasing them for 1s) is also not working.
The phone works fine, but I would like to have TWRP working.
Can I just reinstall twrp like the first time?
Thank you

What device? H811? Needs to know more about what software you flashed.
If you can get into fastboot you can push twrp there.
Hmmm i flashed xperia phones locked bootloader twrp on my h818 and i got this error too so it means it changed the recovery but can't start it?

H815 EUR. I installed the 2.8.7.0 and the 2.8.6.1 from https://dl.twrp.me/h815/. I tried it multiple times with these 2 versions and everytime I get the same error.
Connecting it to pc and entering recovery works without a problem, though.
Edit: I flashed Genisys 3.7

So you can get into twrp with "adb reboot recovery"?
Your problem is you can not access it from neither the rebooter app nor the hardware buttons?
When using the harware buttons, hold vol down then press and hold power until the logo shows up. Release power for a second then press and hold again.

Correct, I can get in twrp with "adb reboot recovery"
I was releasing both the volume and power buttons. Tried it again, but I came to a menu where I could only choose whether to delete all data (factory reset) or not. When choosing NO, the phone proceeded to boot normally.

That menu is perfectly normal. You have to select okay. Because you have a custom recovery it will not factory reset your phone but rather boot you into twrp.

Oh wow thank you very much. Everything works now
Hello, I have the A705FN/DS and I tried do Custom Recovery and ROOT but i'm suck on this screen ( https://imgur.com/lVOX4rt ), i can't boot in recovery or download mode, i can't use the phone, Someone can help me?! Already tried a lot of things on internet but nothing so far..
Try not to panic, I've seen this several times.
- Plug the charger cable into the phone.
- Press and hold all three buttons (up volume/ down volume / power) at the same time and keep holding them, wait (at least 10 seconds+), phone will reboot (keep holding all three buttons and wait), even if it says 'press power button to continue, wait), hold the buttons and wait. It may reboot again....
- Keep holding the buttons until the screen goes black then release all 3, this should take you to a blue screen, slightly different blue to the normal download screen, with 3 options:
1. Press the up button once and quickly to download a customer OS. <- Select this option.
2. Long press the up button to go in device bootlock mode.
3. Press 3 to restart.
Start ODIN and download/flash stock firmware for your phone.
If you do get to download mode, be sure to uncheck 'reboot automatically' in Odin, just in case you have some failures, you can click on the 'Reboot to download' in Odin without have to fuss about with all the button all the time.
You must reboot to download mode EVERY time a failure happens before trying to flash again, else you'll need to do the 3 finger thing all over again.....
Worked for me! :good:
Might take a few attempts to get to the download mode, but you should be able to recover it, no worries (had this last night).
Update if it works!
i installed trwp successfully. After that i decided to flash havok os. After that phone went into bootloop. It loads only to twrp and stacks on twrp logo screen(with its build number) no reaction on buttons. Any chances to do something with Odin?

First, make sure that you've the latest official firmware is downloaded on your computer. Then, prepare your phone's cable by connecting it's one end to the computer, keep the phone disconnected for now.
Open odin, prepare all the official firmware's files including ap, bl, csc etc. All of them. And make sure that you've selected the CSC file, NOT the HomeCSC..
Now, you should read this paragraph completely before taking action. First take yor phone and put you fingers over the volume buttons (both of them, up and down) and the power button. Wait until screen turns off (as you said, it was stucked on TWRP). Once it turns of and it's black, dont waste so much time and connect the other end of the cable to your phone and wait till a blue screen shows up.
Now, if the screen is showing you options like Download Mode or Bootloader Unlocking, tap to volume up to enter download mode. If it's not showing you options and it is showing a warning screen like the screen mentioned in the first entry up here, it's ok, you're in download mode.
Start the proccess with odin. Then tell me the result. If it stucks at the end of the 'SYSTEM' installing, tell me that before waiting longer than 10 minutes after all the sign of life dissapears in odin. Waiting for your respond ^^

Thank you very much! I will try that asap, since the official firmware still downloads(probably several hours). I just recorded a video of how things look right now.

Ok, tbh you're phone is in a nice condition. You can relax if you're not. Several hours? This seems long, if it is not about your network speed, I mean if you're installing the firmware from a website please try to install it via frija instead. You can find it here.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/how-to/galaxy-a70-firmware-list-variants-t3957239
And, please be sure that you're installing the right firmware for your model.
The only thing you should do is pressing all the buttons simultaneously and connect the phone to the computer while the phone's screen is off. Then enter the download mode.
Oh yes! Thank you, sir! i got to that blue screen.

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy A70 (SM-A705MN/DS) on T-Mobile. Got it on Amazon.
Came with case, earbuds, and 128G SD card, but only a USB-C to USB-C for charging. You'll need a different cable if you plan on rooting.
My post about it:

Why only flashing ap? Flash all the files. Csc And Home_csc has a difference. if you flash csc, your data will be formatted. If you want to keep your data, flash home_csc. Dont flash only ap. How did you try to enter twrp? did you try to flash ap over a phone with custom recovery? Flash all the files. Hope you backed up your data. Try to flash all files with home csc, not only csc. if doesnt work, flash all the files but with csc this time.
To enter download mode, be sure that your phone's screen is black and connect the phone to pc at the same time you press all the buttons.

The following steps will force a reboot, you can follow them if you get stuck in a bootloop again.
1. Press and hold power button for about 10 seconds or wait for several options to appear on screen.
2. Tap the Restart option. The phone should then restart.
I watched the video, did you already try pushing the restart button?

Indeed, this seems like an issue that is solved by fully powering the phone down; perhaps something in volatile memory preventing recovery by other means?
Regardless, it would seem that the problem itself is resolved. Are you aware of what you were doing before this happened?
