Note 4 recovery flashing issue

I followed the steps in this guide to rooting my note 4, and got to step 5, but instead of a new custom recovery, I got "Installing system update -> No Command" and taken to the Android System Recovery screen.
I'm guessing it failed to flash, but I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Check out post #35 in the thread you just referenced. Unchecking auto reboot then doing a battery pull seems to work for most.

For some reason it won't let me reflash in ODIN; it just says "All threads completed" with no download.

I ran into the same problem when I used that guide. That version of TWRP downloaded from the link wouldnt go through that odin version also from the link, after some bootloops and softbricks I downloaded latest version of twrp and odin and I was good to go.
Make sure you're using the latest version of odin and flash 3.0.0-1 instead

Finally got back around to trying to root my note 4 and trued this with TWRP 3.0.0-1 and ODIN 3.0.7 and it didn't work; but now there's ODIN 3.10 and it has a whole new UI so I have no idea how to use it and if I should use a new version of TWRP.

Can't flash Custom Recoveries. All got stuck in first splashscreen.

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get a Custom recovery working in my phone. It's a SM-N920C International (UAE) version. If I flash Arther's Philz Recovery or TWRP both of them get stuck in "Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Recovery is not SEandroid enforcing". Usually it should start right away but even waiting like 10 minutes it doesn't start. I can use the phone normally and even flash stock roms with ODIN. It just doesn't want to start any Custom Recover I throw into it. Any thoughts?

Oops, I've forgot that! I'm on Marshmallow
Btw I realized that I was installing LP recoveries in MM so I flashed the lastest TWRP build and now it works. The new problem is that I managed to root it but even if SuperSU works I can't manage to modify system files and busybox doesn't work either. I've flashed Dr.Ketan experimental MM root over Supersu 2.67 (Systemless root) because it didn't worked.. so maybe there's a conflict there. I'll report tomorrow.

Fixed with a beta of twrp

Have TWRP installed on Note 5 DUOS SM-N9208 but phone only boots to android recovery?

I was trying to install TWRP on my Note 5 using odin and everything worked perfectly. I even got the green "PASS" icon. But when it rebooted, I turned off the phone to boot into TWRP using Home+Power+Vol Up, and I got a installing system updates icon, then a fallen android bot with a yellow cross sign on top, and then it loaded into default android recovery, not TWRP. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!

This happend to me too. What you need to do is to flash a custom kernel for your device because you installed a custom recovery and what happens is that that the stock kernel stops working or it gets erased, but the fix for the problem is flashing a custom kernel.

Thank you for the reply. I'm new to the rooting scene so by kernel you mean one of those auto root kernels you can flash through Odin?

I can't flash it through custom recovery because I can't get to it

But before you flash the TWRP again to your device and the kernel you need to download the official firmware for your Note 5 because it seems that you messed up real bad with you phone.
Just google official firmware N9208 and download it to then flash it through ODIN in download mode, then after installing the Firmware boot up the phone and set it up, after that you go to Developers Mode and enable OEM and USB Debugging, after that you download the kernel i provided above for your N9208 IN YOUR PHONE. Afterwards, go to Download Mode and flash TWRP through ODIN in your phone and then boot up the recovery and flash the kernel that is in thr internal storage of your phone in the Download folder. Now the phone should br rooted. If you still didn't understand the instructions then look up this video https://youtu.be/We6OUJvzve0
hope it works for you ?

Thank you SO much for that detailed reply. I understand the instructions but is it alright if instead of flashing a stock firmware I just factory reset my phone?

Questions on root for mm

I want to run Viper 4 android but the root is systemless. From my understanding I have to be using regular root to use Viper 4 android.
My question is, is it possible to go from systemless root to regular root?
Thanks

Just follow the instructions, flash MM, flash twrp, flash the latest SuperSU beta, load your apps. Then flash freeza's beast mode kernel that was released today on the Android development section. Then install viper as usual. I flashed the kernel at lunch and viper is running fine.

How to Install Korean 6.0.1 Samsung touchwiz Marshmallow to T700

Ok what you need to do is download the tool SAMFIRM in the general thread. fill in the model and region which will be SM-T700 and KOO in region section . wait for it to download once it says decrypt finished extract tar from zip with winrar then flash tar in Odin. Once odin has flashed it then tab reboots put it into stock recovery, hold home button volume up and power button together and hold for 4/5 seconds then let go. wipe data factory reset then let it boot. Enjoy

Why the need to wipe data/reset? Samsung stock upgrades are always compatible with the previous data.

It was bootlooping

Most likely just needed dalvik wiping.
I would dirty flash, boot then wipe data only if necessary.

Factory reset was the first option I seen in stock recovery. Not used to being in stock recovery normally twrp

I am trying to flash it with Flashfire due to keep rooted.
Had to to wipe factory reset from recovery.
Good Lock works fine, but appears a little thin

Just reroot after flashing via Odin if flash fire don't work

Guys,sorry for the noobish question,
do you confirm I can eventually get back to my lollipop ROM with a full TWRP backup after flashing MM?

If you've backed it up on a external device then yes sure. You will need to reroot after flashing this though.

Sorry but what root do you use, the old chainfire root for Lollipop?

Yes I'm sure cf auto root works. I haven't tried it but t805 users have so it should work.

Thanks for keeping us right ashyx

TWRP,Supersu and Xposed working :good:.
(got the following message whenever I enter the recovery: "recovery is not seandroid enforcig"..still it doens't seems to affect anything )
Here is what I did in case some newcomer like me is asking:
1) flashed the rom with odin and booted in
2)flashed twrp with odin (the one kindly provided by Ashyx here TWRP)
3)flashed supersu with twrp (SuperSU)
4)flashed xposed 86.0 sdk23 arm from wanam's thread with twrp (here)
Any idea about the "recovery is not seandroid enforcig" thing?

Does anyone know if its possible to enable adoptive storage in this?

It means nothing. The Tab S didn't support this warning until MM, so nothing was required to remove it.
It's trivial for me to remove it, but more hassle than its worth considering it means nothing.
I actually prefer to have it as it clearly indicates Iam booting into recovery.
