Hi all,
I'm trying to install Cyanogenmod following techbeasts.com tutorial but I'm stuck at the first step : installingTWRP (or CWM).
I followed precisely all the instructions (I allow debugging mode, I installed samsung drivers, I start the phone in download mode, I connect it with OEM cable, I start Odin, it sees the phone, I select the tar.md5 file.), Odin confirms it went well (green box writing "PASS"), but when I try to boot the recovery mode by holding Volume up + Home + Power it seems to boot another recovery software that doesn't offer a backup or a flashing options: "Android system recovery <3e>"
Can't get it to run TWRP or CWM... Can't install the supersu package.
What I'm I doing wrong? Can someone help?
Try to untick Auto Reboot option from odin. I had similiar issues and reason was if you have updated your phone with OTA-updates then it installs some kind of backup script. When your phone boots again after you had installed twrp it installs stock recovery during boot. So untick autoreboot, flash twrp and force boot straight to recovery without letting phone boot to OS. You can also try to pull battery out, put it back and then boot into recovery mode.
Sorry my english and try to understand.

Great it worked, thanks a lot !
But now I'm stuck on the next step : flashing CM11
I rooted my phone, booted TWRP, chose "install>cm11" (the zip downloaded from nova fusion) but it says "failed" after a few sec...
I would post my TWRP log but the forum prevents me doing so...
Well I get few things that you could check first.
1. Do factory reset for example from twrp. Factory reset is needed/recommended before installing custom rom from offical OS.
2. Sometimes just installing fails almost immediately if you have ticked check zip signature.
After you have installed new rom clear cache and davilk cache just in case. I'll do that every time if I install or update custom roms. Also don't forget to install right gapps package after you have installed rom.
Sorry my english and try to understand.
ok just realized i downloaded the wrong cm image (the odin one, not the recovery)
everything running smooth now
Okay happy to hear that everything is fine now. Happy playing with custom roms
Hi, I have a T810 and I wanted to root it. I am on the OJ1 bootloader.
I flashed the kernel for 5.1.1, the permissive kernel.
It works perfectly, but of course no root because I needed to flash the autoroot for T810 for 5.1.1.
I flash it successfully and it goes into recovery mode than all the writing for the root comes on.
It does all that correctly but it reboots and goes into download mode. I try to force boot by holding all keys.
It goes onto the Samsung logo for 1 second and then it goes back into download mode.
I have reflashed stock rom and I have tried 20 times and still it does not get out of download mode.
What am I doing wrong??
Looks like nothing... try rooting with supersu zip using TWRP
I have a SM-T813 that I installed TWRP. I backed up the stock rom before loading Lineage OS. I wanted to reload the stock ROM, which I did through TWRP. After the reload the device is stuck at the Samsung graphic and "Android is starting...." screen. I tried reflashing TWRP via ODIN which did not work. I reflashed stock firmware via ODIN and that also did not work. I can only boot to Bootloader and using ADB to try and get into recovery says no devices are connected.
Cannot power off either.
Any suggestions?
THanks!

Fixed it. I ended up loading a different ROM which kicked it out of the bootloop and let me get into the Recovery. Cleaned things up and reloaded the factory ROM. All is well now.
I'm having a bit of problem flashing my Note 5 using ODIN. Whenever I flash the stock ROM, ODIN finishes successfully but when the device boots up, it gets stuck on 'No command' and thereafter it is not possible to enter recovery mode or do anything further. I have now flashed TWRP and wiped the entire device and tried again and still, it gets stuck on 'No command'.
I am thinking that as a last resort, I may just get lucky by placing a flashable ZIP of the stock ROM onto the internal storage and install the ROM via TWRP/Recovery mode. I think I first need to get the SM-N920C stock recovery image and flash that first and thereafter flash the stock ROM from the stock recovery options.
Where can I find a stock ROM flashable zip and recovery image for my device? My device is the SM-N920C, build: N920CXXS5CRH2 XFA.
Finally, do you guys think that doing this is a waste of time since flashing with ODIN passed but resulted in the 'No command' error?
After flashing the latest TWRP 3.3.1 image file from TWRP 3.2.3 and upon reboot I got an error "Could not do normal boot" and it took me to ODIN mode. Thinking maybe it was a corrupt file I flashed the .tar file from Odin and it successfully completed and rebooted into the system. Okay great. So I tried to boot into recovery from the system and it took me back to the same error. Tried several times to flash recovery from Odin and each time it completes successfully, boots into the system. Everything looks great and works - until I try to boot into recovery. Tried powering down completely and giving it a few minutes but the same thing happens when I power up. the only way I can get back into the system is to flash the TWRP tar file again from Odin and let it boot the system upon finishing.
I have searched the forums and the web without finding any solution that doesn't include going back completely to stock. In those cases the system was corrupted as well. Not really wanting to do that since everything works except booting to recovery. Any suggestions?
Update - I was finally able to download XAR-T813XXS2BSJ3_T813XAR2BSA2-20191016 and install it so I currently have the latest stock I can find for my T813. I have not tried to install TWRP yet on this version. I am a little leery to do so at this point since I've had no luck on any previous attempt.
Well, SSDD! No matter what version TWRP I flash, when I try to boot into recovery I get "Recovery Booting....Could not do normal boot" and it takes me to download mode (Odin Mode). I give up. I guess I am doomed to using a stock tablet and all of my previous apps and set up is no longer accessible. If by some miracle somebody has a fix I'm all ears.
Update - Finally was able to root with CF-Auto-Root through Odin. While it is not my root method of choice it is the only way I can root since TWRP will not load for me. At least I can get to my TB backups and restore most of my apps. Also, I can get rid of the bloat that pure stock sticks on the tablet. If I hadn't just bought a new laptop, I would seriously consider replacing this tablet.
