Hi,
I triggered a menu when turning my Note 5 on. It appears to let you download a custom OS. But what OS is it? Is this how I install a custom OS that I want? The way I triggered it was by holding Power, Volume down, and the Home button.
I Believe your talking about download mode or recovery mode. Download mode is for flashing stock firmware, and recovery is for updates
If you want to flash a custom rom, you first need to root, and install TWRP. You can find how to do this easily, just search your note 5 and carrier , ex. Tmobile note 5 root, or tmobile note 5 twrp install.

Hi,
How could i flash Custom ROM with Odin..
Because
1. I am not able to go into recovery mode by holding Volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons
2. I could not reboot into recovery mode using adb commands (stuck at at&t screen)
3. I could not reboot into recovery by flashing any kernel with CWM.. obviously i have to use volume up+Volume Down+Power Buttons again :-(
I am able to flash stock ROM through ODIN 1 click downloader (currently on I897UCKI2)..and its the only way i could flash a ROM now..
So is there a way to install custom rom through ODIN ?
Please help...
If you can get into download mode (power off, hold V+/V-, insert USB), you can try flashing a ROM via Heimdall. Apex 12.5 has a package you can flash from Heimdall.
You can also try Mosaic 9, as that has an Odin-based installer package.

Hey,
I'm using samsung galaxy star s5282. I rooted this phone 2 days ago. Everything went good until today when i was i my class it suddenly switched off. When i rebooted it, it hang on the samsung logo.
I tried to boot into cwm recovery mode by pressing v+, home, power but it boots into default system recovery mode.
I again flashed cwm recovery many times using odin but it dosent work. Odin shows pass but when i reboot my phone in cwm recovery mode my phone enters in default system recovery mode.
What should i do please please please help.....
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
applies to all recoveries
cheers

Surenda 1863,
I had exactly the same problem and it took me almost one week of fiiddling and searching the Web to solve it.
The solution was in front me since day ONE : install ODIN on the PC !
In my case, I had I had accidentally wiped out the stock ROM and the tablet was hopelessly frozen on the download mode. I couldn't turn it off to boot it back with any of the usual buttons ( Volume , Home, Power)
I made the wrong assumption that since my PC didn't see the tablet, it couldn't connect to Odin either . I was wrong!
Here is what you have to do:
1. Install Odin on your PC. Connect the tablet to it. You will see that Odin sees the tablet because there will be a caption saying "added" on the top left.
2. Press the AP tab button at the right to go to the location where your Stock ROM is. The stock ROM file will have an MD5 ending.
3 Once the file is loaded (next to the AP button) just press Start. You will see the DOWNLOAD bar gradually filling up on the tablet and at the top left of ODIN.
4. When the operation is terminated, you will see a caption " PASSED" at the top left of he Odin screen and the tablet will automatically boot up to the HOME screen.
As simple as this! I didn't even have to worry about flashing the TWRP ( or CWR) recovery system, probably because the OS ROM was already wiped out. May be your case is different. I only know that in my case it worked like a charm.

im on 5.1.1 everything was fine until i wanted to root and install recovery. i had everything fine i assume but had that red text on the top when booting up saying recovery is not sea enforced or something like that. i used odin to restore back to 5.1.1 acouple times. and now when i try to flash the unibase cof8 kernal i got this in download mode (Custom Binary (Boot) Blocked By FAP Lock) now i seem to be stuck in download mode. i cant boot back up to android. im trying all button combos but all i can do i restart into download mode. please help in recovering my phone.
Use the power button + volume down button + home button, install a clean copy of lolipop 5.1.1
Did u try to unlock bootloader in development settings and try again?
Im new to the lollipop scene. Coming from the iphone. I didnt know once you have lollipop installed you have to enable unlock bootloader in the developer option settings. I did the all button combo (volume up + volume down + home button + power button) that seem to reboot my device back up to android. Once i did that i enabled unlock bootloader in the developer settings and now im on 5.1.1 lollipop with root and twrp recovery. Although i still have that red warning sign when entering recovery ( recovery is not sea enforced) but i just ignored it and im up and running again
mine had it instaaled and running and when I reboot I get the message and it won't boot, now I gotat do it all over??
Hi, I was flashing the Empora ROM this evening and followed the instructions exactly.
My Phone will not power on and when I try to into recovery I get this instead.
Warning!!
"A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise press volume down to cancel.''
When I press up it puts me in download mode and down I get stuck in a black screen.
Not sure what I did wrong but any help would be greatly appreciated to get back into TWRP and at least restore my back up.
Thank you
Do you have the latest bootloader and modem? If not, Odin the latest oem ROM first.
1. Pull the battery out for 30 sec.
2. Put battery back in, power up in Download mode
3. Odin the correct TWRP to the phone
4. boot to TWRP, flash Empora ROM.
5. Reboot and wait 15 mins, enjoy.
hi, i have recently tried rooting my Note 5 by flashing spacex kernel, so first i had to install a custom recovery i used "twrp-3.0.2-0-nobleltetmo.img (1).tar" . i installed via odin and rebooted into recovery. Once i rebooted into it i had a message with "installing update" or something like that with an android figure and then it changed to the robot laying down with a triangle with the message "no command". i tried rebooting the phone out of recovery but it just looped back to the same message
ps. the power button on the note 5 is not responsive, and it is 32gb tmobile
thanks to anyone who can help

The phone doesnt go past the samsung logo and the android recovery, when i use the button combination to go to DOWNLOAD, it takes me to the download screen but doesnt go any further.
I had a problem similar to this with my note 2 which also had a broken key, i was able to mess with the key and was ablew to boot into the phone

You could flash an official update.zip from Samsung and see if that works
What device model do you have? You must've flashed the wring twrp or something, it looks like you flashed the TMobile Version. Are you in T-Mobile?
if you can see that robot lying around... its mean you did not success to flash the twrp. it still stock recovery. try push vol button up/down several time and see if the stock recovery menu appear or not.
Hello,
I have flashed twrp over Odin and it works well, flashed custom room too, everything was super fine but after i restart the phone
Got stuck in twrp logo
Can't go to download mode or boot to system either.
Tried to hard restart power + vol - then after restart press power vol - bixby but same issue.
Download mode won't launch neither recovery.
Picture of the problem in the attachment
Please any solution?
first you flashed the wrong version of twrp according to your attachment, in my opinion you have to reflash everything and you can follow this tutorial and I hope it helps you

Sorry but i don't think it'll boot first time or even i could flash custom rom from it if the recovery wasn't compatible.
After the twrp everything was fine, and i got access to twrp recovery and flash custom room without any problems.
First bot was fine, but after 2 consecutive restarts
This issue occurred .
And can't make it to download mode now, so I can't flash stock or anything.
I mean the correct version to flash android 13 it is twrp v 3 7 0 9 0 if not the phone hangs at twrp logo.
now to put back on download mode you have to do this manipulation
1/ connect your phone to your pc with the USB cable then press bixbi and power (between 5 and 7 seconds) and when the phone goes black at this moment don't let go of bixbi and power you have to press the volume button -
I hope it will go.
