Reboot TWRP without OS, can't get back into TWRP - Bricked?

[no0bstar]

Hi all,

First of all I would like to apologize if my question is answered somewhere else already, I have searched the web for 2+ hours and cannot find anything that gives a solution to my specific problem/question.

After wiping my data/system/cashe etc. through TWRP 3.0 I rebooted ignoring the message that there was no OS installed. I knew there was no OS installed and my intention was to get back into TWRP after the reboot.
To my surprise my phone did not go into the TWRP menu on its own like it did before (previous problem was a TWRP bootloop, but that's a different story). Pressing the volume down + power button does not bring me back into the recovery modem for TWRP either.
The only screen I can reach is the download mode (by holding volume down + power + home button) where I previously used Odin to flash the Kernel and install TWRP.

I think I messed it up by rebooting without any OS, which now prevents me from getting back into TWRP. I hope there's anyone who can help me by either pointing me in the right direction or put me out of my misery by telling me I should accept my fate of having a bricked phone.

Any help or answer is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

What was posted above orrrrr you could try booting into download mode and hit cancel (restart) then quickly hit and hold the TWRP combo, this method works for me.

AFAIK ROMs don't touch recovery so OS or no OS you're fine I believe.

I'd say it is simply a matter of not doing the button combo properly tbh... That is the impression I get

Yeah more or less, I just noticed it gives you an extra few seconds with DL mode.

I've managed to get back into TWRP by installing the stock rom and TWRP through Odin.

Right now im installing Nougat, hopefully it was worth the few extra grey hairs...

Thanks for the help all!
