Hi,
I thoroughly searched this forum, other forums, and google.. with no luck on resolving my issue.
The Problem:
I "successfully" flash amon_ra's custom recovery, cyanogen's version of the ra recovery, and other custom recovery images through fastboot.. I get the OKAY on both reading and writing (i think that is what it says) from the command prompt in fastboot.. but when I reboot the phone to actually use them.. it always defaults to the stock android recovery.
My bootloader is unlocked
I tried flashing while running FRF72 non-rooted
I tried flashing FRF72 rooted via superuser unlock from MoDaCo
I tried flasing with MoDaCo custom ROM r18 based on FRF72
No luck.
The ONLY way that I can ever get to a custom recovery is by using clockwork's app, loading the custom recovery through the app, and then rebooting into recovery via the app. This will only work on the initial reboot. If I try to reboot into recovery from the app after having restarted, it will go to the little android and I have to use vol up and hit power at the same time. At that point, I would have to re-flash the custom recovery through the app, and then reboot via the app again.
Is this just a FRF72 problem? Has anyone else experienced this?? And is there a fix for this? I am terrified to do anything to my phone because I worry about being able to get to my nandroid backups in the event of a problem.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Anyone have any suggestions??
i cant get this to work either idk why.. But yeah i would love help with this also..
Hi guys Recently Samsung released 5.1.1 for our devices! So I decided to make a easy tutorial on how to install TWRP on our devices (unfortunately without root).
1. Download newest odin from Here!
2. Reboot to download mode.
3. Download this file TWRP RECOVERY
4.Flash it with AP option.
5. Done! Now You should be able to boot into TWRP Recovery.
Info
Can I restore my previous custom rom now?
Yes and no. I tried restoring two roms. AOSP and TW, aosp had a bootloop then successfully booted, and TW didn't seem to boot at all.
Does it root my device/Can I root my device now?
Nope, not yet. I tried to make a custom rom with root built in but it was stuck in a bootloop.
Why would I need this?
Well. Now You can restore Your rom, and flash other roms(Some may fail due to a newer bootloader).
Any bugs?
Sometimes first boot after flashing this recovery might bootloop, but just remove Your battery and turn on Your phone again.(Happened only once to me)

Yes... I did manage to restore the backup image of 5.1 as I ended up in bootloop while trying for the root access. So far OK with at least TWRP is working.
I have a question, If I'm on 5.1.1 and I've installed this TWRP, By using this TWRP RECOVERY, can I install 5.0.1 custom rom via zip file?
I do not mean to restore my backup rom. I mean I do a fresh installation

Some people have reported issues flashing a 5.01 rom without using odin to downgrade first

It seems to bootloop roms that need 5.0 bootloader. But AOSP rom that runs on 5.1.1 boots up without any problems. Just during boot You might see message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and then the rom should boot up.
I flashed twrp via odin and it says pass then reboot after that when i try to enter recovery it get me to stock recovery any clue why is that and how to solve this ? v.v
Thanks a ton bro.
thank u so much guys

Hi I could really use some help here my phone had some trouble so I had to wipe it out and reinstall the 5.1.1 lollipop when I did so however I lost the recovery partition I was using TW RP I have since tried to reinstall it and Odin says that it is successful yet when I try to boot into the recovery partition I get to default recovery partition that comes with the phone I've also tried using the CWM recovery image and it does the same thing says its successful but I can't boot into it because it boots into the default one any idea what is going on and what I can do. I should also note that I've tried reinstalling the 5.0.1 version of lollipop and that has failed in Odin any ideas would be greatly appreciated because at the moment I have no way to root my phone I can't flash the custom kernel that's needed for 5.1.1 or anything else for that matter please help thank you

Easiest way on odin is make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When its done unplug the cable pull the battery put it back in boot into twrp Let me know how it works out for you.

Twrp for D626q below:

Will be getting my tab S2 710 in 2 days and would like to root it ofc from the start, but like everyone is saying first make a backup!. Is there a tool or a program that will make an backup of not rooted device? And if anything goes wrong while rooting I would be able to restore that backup? Thx for the help!
not that I know of. I rooted and made backup with TWRP before changing kernels or any other modifications and had no problem. Good luck.
Backup with TWRP BEFORE making any changes or rooting.
but TWRP is a custom recovery right? So first I need to flash your TWRP port then make a backup and then flash kernel and root via Odin?
You don't need to flash a kernel just backup with twrp then flash supersu 2.65 with twrp.
But if my device will be with 5.1.1 I will have to use your custom kernel for root to work, right? So if I understand you correctly I need to do all these things to get backup + root:
1. Flash TWRP with Odin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-x-lollipop-5-1-1-t3205686
2. Backup with TWRP
3. DL latest stable SuperSu form here: https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
4. Flash it
Thats all?
Correct
Got my 710 and it's 5.0.2 will this root method still work? btw its from Poland region T710XXU2AOJ4. SO I need to flash only the twrp_2.8.7.1_LL_5.0.2_t710 ? BTW is there any noticeable difference with 5.1.1 ? Can I upgrade to this - http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/54572/T710XXU1BOH7_T710BNN1BOH7_BNN/ as I understand I would have to flash it with Odin. Thx for your help a lot!
