Hello everyone. I'm writing here to reach out for the help, because i think i'm banging the wall.

I Have Sony Xperia 5 III (XQ-BQ52) with latests supported version of android, i was able to unlock the bootloader, flash it by using Xperia Flash Tool, flash lineage additional partitions (dtbo, vbmeta, vendor_boot and boot).

When it comes a part in the instruction that i need to boot into recovery mode by holding down the volume down + power i'm unable to boot up the recovery menu, my phone just boots up in the OS.

I tried:
Using different flash file, different button combination, holding the buttons when i connect it to the computer, different timings, and looking for help online

But when OS is stock, OEM unlocked and flashed i can go to the recovery menu pretty easily.

The main problem is that i cannot boot up to the recovery while installing LineageOS, looking forward for help, thank you.

EDIT: Situation is resolved, it was human error (mine).
