[Q] Trouble Booting into Recovery

jd300 said:

Since there is no longer GooManager at the Google Play Store, I cannot open up TWRP recovery. The replacement app at Play store is TWRP manager but it does not boot into recovery, it boots into downloads. Holding down all three buttons and releasing the power button or holding all 3 buttons down only leads to the download screen. Any advice as to how to get into recovery. I am on SCH-i545 4.4.2

Thanks

Thank you for the response but the page you directed to me has not been updated since Dec. 2013. It states that my s4 nc5 cannot be rooted which is obviously not the case...

Thanks for the feedback. Before going on any further I have a question. If I am to install Safe Strap, Does twrp need to be removed. Although I cannot open it, it is on my phone. Or will Safe Strap overwrite it?
