trying to install TWRP

Hello guys
So I have a N910T3 with baseband N910T3UVS3EPK2. My phone has never been rooted or touched before. I would like to install TWRP so heres what I've done so far.
1.) Enable USB debugging, oem unlock
2.) Downloaded TWRP for note 4 tmobile
3.) Install ADB Drivers
4.) Downloaded ODIN and loaded it with TWRP img.
5.) It downloaded on my phone, and after saying "PASS", I restarted the phone.
6.) If I go to recovery, Stock recovery is still there... Why is that TWRP is not installed?
Thank you.

Go to odin options and uncheck auto reboot.
Flash twrp recovery in odin.
Once odin shows pass remove battery and insert again.
Press 3 buttons simontenesly ( volume up+home+power) until Samsung logo shows then let go all buttons.
You will boot into twrp for sure.
Reason why your twrp was not installed because if you dont uncheck auto reboot in odin options the system will rewrite stock recovery if your device reboot after flash twrp.
it worked. nice
Cannot find TWRP .tar or .md5 files for Odin
When I go to download TWRP for my N910T Galaxy Note 4 T-Mobile, running EQB1 firmware, I only see various TWRP versions that are .img files; none that are .tar or .md5 that ODIN wants. Example: twrp-3.0.2-0-tbltetmo.img
So where do I find an ODIN compatible version?
Thanks.

Galaxy A6+ unable to install ROM Stock by ODIN

Hello friends, I've been trying to fix a giant problem with my son's cell phone for three days ... He asked me to rotate it, but I brickee it, I comment on what happens and what I did:
specs:
Glaxy A6 + (SM-A605GN)
1-install TWRP by ODIN (Correct installation)
2-Install TWRP files "force_encryption_disabler, RMM State Bypass and non-verity-opt-encrypt (I think here is my mistake, since I do not know the functions of these files, in my time of Flasheo does not exist) I take it out of this tutorial: androidinfotech.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a6-plus-2018-sm-a605f-fn-gn-pie/[/url])
Error 3-First; I didn't have access to the internal memory in the TWRP, so I followed this tutorial youtube.com/watch?v=bqyVQCGlyqs[/url]) to change the partition system so I could access the internal memory correctly
4- Install the Magisk correctly through the TWRP
5- Restart (And my hell began) ...
a- TWRP informs me that I did not have OS installed on reboot
b- When restarting the screen it tells me: Set guarantee bit: Kernel (in yellow)
c- Try to install the Firmware Stock by Odin, but I can't, it doesn't throw me an error, but it doesn't install anything at all, IT KEEPS ME THE TWRP INTACT
d-Download a Modified ROM, the installation by TWRP and it was installed correctly, but the SIM card does not work (I assume it is because it has a different modem) and I get an error for almost everything L
I want to go back to the Stock ROM but ODIN does nothing ... Please I need your help.
I can access Download and TWRP mode.
discuss the translation ...
Friends, any ideas ?? ... any help is appreciated.
As you already flashed twrp, so i think you know how to go download mode. Just see any youtube video how to flash stock rom on s8/s9. Download your latest firmwere from sammobile or samfrew and flash. Procedure is same as s8 or s9.

Friend, that's the problem, ODIN doesn't let me install the Stock Rom, at the end of the flash process with Odin, the phone remains intact (with the TWRP intact)

What kind of error? or it flashes perfectly? Give us something.. Photo of odin and your phone's download mode screen...
When you first time booted twrp, you needed to click on wipe > format data. This will decrypt your phone (and it wipe your internat storage) then you can flash rmm and no verity. After that, click on reboot > recovery and then reboot > system (or flash magisk). Recommended to flash latest rmm and no verity.

exynos TWRP NOT WORKING, need help.

i have flashed via odin about a hundred times by now. today i downloaded the new android 10 update because before i was flashing 9 still.
but updating doesn't help, let me tell you what my problem is. whenever i patch the AP file in magisk manager then flash via odin to my then stocked phone i get rooted but am not able to flash anything to recovery. for example:
FLASHING TWRP from the phone never works and hasn't worked a single time.
u can flash the default twrp from the official app which results in a boot loop.
u can flash the magisk_patched.img (after having put official twrp.img through magisk manager)
by entering this into a SU terminal: # f=/storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched.img; dd if=$f of=/dev/block/sda15 bs=$(stat -c%s $f)
but that also results in a boot loop.
flashing default twrp tar via odin does work however it isn't patched via magisk because that AGAIN doesn't work, not even with odin (for those asking "how do you flash .img through odin" i heard success stories from others that executing tar command in linux just archives the .img and if it's named recovery.img inside the tar archive odin has no problem flashing... this is what i did)
anyway i wanted twrp so i could flash my favorite custom rom onto the device, but i'l have to do with rooted stock rom for now

Tried to root but now can't boot up -fixed

Hi guys,
I can't seem to boot up after I successfully root it with the file name "SM-N950F_U6_9.0" through odin v3.13.1
Really not sure what I did wrong :crying:
Currently trying to download the stock firmware to recover it
How do I upload pics when I'm still new?
*edit*
I flashed the stock firmware and managed to install magisk through TWRP. The issue is that I didn't go into recovery straight from fastboot :laugh:

SAMSUNG NOTE 8 N950F (XSP - Singapore Region) WONT BOOT INTO SYSTEM!! HELP!!

hi guys, im lost and desperate need help right now
its been 4 days im looking for solution but no avail
please i need help to make my device back to normal again
device : Samsung Note 8 (XSP - Singapore Region) running One UI 1, Android 9. oem unlocked.
so here is the stories,
3 days ago, 22 Dec 2020.
i did factory reset on my device, and reboot
after that, my device lost the network, it detect my sim card but cant connect to network. signal lost.
i tried to reboot like usuall but still, no network available. lost the signal
but i can connect to wifi.
and i reboot it again, suddenly stuck at samsung logo
at first i thought this is easy just need to flash it with stock firmware
and i did, i download the stock firmware from sammobile, XSP - Singapore region.
with BL, CP, CSC, AP file, repartition not ticked. only tick the Auto Reboot and F. Reset time.
i choose the CSC file not HOME_CSC. so everything went well. PASS! green light in odin.
successfully flash my device, but weird, it is still wont detect any network or signal. i tried to automatically find network operator but it says "unable to connect" i tried everything and it says "NO NETWORK"
i did checked my imei , and its safe, its not blocked. but why my device still wont detect my sim card
and the i tried to reflash and flash and flash it again, several time hoping it will detect any network from my sim card after flashing but no avail
and then at the night, flash at 6th time, my device giving me more problem.
suddenly stuck at samsung logo bootloop. i went to recovery state, its says :
"E: FAILED TO MOUNT /EFS (INVALID ARGUMENT)
DM VERITY ERROR" stuff like that
damnn what problem again this time
im frustated already
and i flash it again with Pixel Experience rom hoping the problem will went away, but still , same results. "NO NETWORK"
i look it up in Settings - About - Status - Sim Card Status , its shown "DISCONNECTED"
my imei still there but just wont connect to network.
and then i tried to re-flash it again with stock firmware and again went straight into bootloop. with broken efs etc some****
im so mad and frustated, the problem keeps coming.
and then i found a temporary solution from @bluecub1st thread about the same problem :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a guide for repairing failed to mount efs and dm-verify fail (drk error)
We finally did it ~~~
Warning - We will not take any responsibility for your device. Follow the steps at your own risk. If your device is Knox 0, This guide would convert it into Knox 1 due to TWRP. For solutions that does not convert to knox 1 check out payed remote solutions. Everything on your device will be reset, including efs partition. You will need backup of efs.
Test on N950F binary 4 may work on other exynos models comment below if it worked for other samsung devices.
Problem Detail -
Bootloop with samsung stock firmware boot logo.
Recovery error E:Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) or dm-verity verification failed...
Device cannot boot into Factory binary or Stock Rom
Actions that could cause this problem -
Flashing a non-signed efs.img by odin
Corrupt flash of efs partition.
Note - Must have efs backup for device to work (very important)
Any error that cause bootloop would show in recovery required if
Files Required
Latest Odin (recommend 3.13)
Working Stock firmware and Combination file (same binary as bootloader)
PC
Winrar or 7zip etc
Solution for efs failed bootloop-
Extract Stock firmware AP file (rename .md5 to .tar)
Rename dqmdbg.img to efs.img (or smallest image must be smaller than 8000 KB). Extract Dqmdbg.img.lz4 so it’s just “Dqmdbg.img” and then rename it to efs.img and put that one in a tar. Other option is downloading a file that’s already made this way if your bootloader is binary 4, Saves you trouble of extracting / renaming: http://www.mediafire.com/file/589wucja9rk2v8f/efs.tar/file (if you download this file just move onto number 3)
Add file new efs.img into tar archive.
Flash tar as AP file in odin + download mode
Reboot download mode
Flash Combination with odin + nand erase option on Edit: suggest you to flash stock rom first and oem unlock, don't need to wait for 7 days if imei is 0000 skip combination step
Device Should boot into Factory binary
Use IME to restore imei using *#06# (or imei 0000 in stock rom) Edit: This step is not required if efs backup is restored successful
Your device should have dm-verify failed in recovery due to drk error
Continue drk bypass for dm verify error below to continue
Solution for dm-verify error (also known as drk bypass - but temporary read note)-
Extract Stock firmware AP file
Make a copy of boot.img and delete recovery.img
Note - if files is boot.img.lz4 format change name to recovery.img.lz4
Rename boot.img copy to recovery.img
Add all the files (including other files extracted) to tar.
Flash Modded AP file with BL, CP, CSC (nand erase not required)
The phone will boot into stock firmware
Note- cannot reboot, will stuck at dm-verify error again and need to flash modded AP again.
Wait 7 days to oem unlock phone or use 7 day bypass by changing dates (not always work, keep trying, don’t reboot, worked for Samsunguser932 Edit: Imei must be 0000)
Edit: oem unlock will fix drk - if not you must follow next step
Once oem unlock flash TWRP and restore efs backup Edit: if you haven't fixed imei fix now by *#06# with combination file
Flash stock firmware once again by odin (stock, not modded)
Done - phone is back to normal
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but at my case , the solution still failed,
yes it did success boot back into the system but still my network is still missing.
and he says restore with efs backup but he didnt attach the file to download the efs backup, how can i continue that step?
so i skip that step and just went to reflash it with stock firmware and the problem came again, it stuck in bootloop.
with efs broken ,
anyone here can share your efs backup ?
please i need it
