When I use a combination of buttons (the only one that seems to work is power and volume+) to access recovery mode, I don't see the expected android on its back with exclamation mark.

Instead, the android stands up (with a spinning logo at the front) and although it says the tablet has entered recovery mode, it proceeds to a normal boot.

This then leads back to my original problem: all functions useless due to "system uids inconsistent".
Can anyone please help?

— quick clarification and a few tested steps that usually help when recovery looks different from screenshots and the system later reports UID problems.

Many devices show an intermediate screen (often called the "No command" screen) before the full recovery menu appears; on most phones/tablets the menu is revealed by holding Power and then pressing Volume Up once. Different vendors use different button combos, so try the usual variations (Power + Volume Up, Power + Volume Down, Power + Home). (digitaltrends.com)

If the visible animation keeps advancing to a normal boot, force the device into recovery from a PC when possible. With USB debugging enabled use:

adb reboot recovery

If you can reach the bootloader, use fastboot to flash or boot a known-good recovery image (then immediately boot into recovery). Flashing/bootloader steps vary by chipset and vendor, so follow a model-specific guide when available. (developer.android.com)

About the "system UIDs inconsistent" message: it originates in Android's framework when package UIDs in /system and /data do not match. The platform itself recommends wiping the data partition to prevent instability. Typical fixes are wiping cache then doing a factory reset; for advanced users with root, inspect /data/system/uiderrors.txt to identify offending packages and remove or correct them before a full wipe. Back up everything first — data loss is the normal side effect of the fixes. (android.googlesource.com)

Short checklist: 1) Try the Power + Volume Up trick until the recovery menu appears; 2) If menu opens, choose Wipe cache, then Wipe data/factory reset; 3) If not, use adb reboot recovery or fastboot/flash tools to restore a working recovery or stock firmware; 4) If all else fails, reflash stock ROM (as suggested) or consult a device-specific forum. Always note that factory reset and flashing will erase user data and may trigger FRP on newer devices.

Can you post some screenshots? If the recovery doens't started up, it's probably bugged/ or something happened. Try to reflash the firmware
