I just got my second hand note 8 and I am trying to flash twrp recovery on it.
When I try to flash twrp via Odin, I would get a line of error message "Only offical released binaries are allowed to be flashed" on the download screen.
I checked that my OEM unlocked option is ticked.
How can I solve this issue?

What version of Odin you use? Get 3.12.3 its work fine
If it's a US version, it has a locked bootloader. No TWRP, no custom roms.

It's N950F, so I suppose it's the international version?

No you cant flash twrp as official binary. Can you get back to download mode and flash stock firmware?

Yes, but as soon as flashing is finished the device reboots to recovery and shows error failed to mount efs nd dm-verity verification failed. Downloaded firmware with Samfirm tool.

Ok I see. Hmm not sure...I googled and found this thread that has a few solutions (Kies, Smart Switch, etc.) that seem to resolve the issue. If someone knows for sure they can chime in, but in the meantime I would start here (even though it's for Note 4...might still work, or at least point you in the right direction).

PLEASE HELP Note8 hang the logo
The problem is as follows:
When I make a software update for the SM-950f / DS, the phone hangs on the samsung logo
I searched and flashed again with Odin but the result was an error
At startup the error message: kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1
I flash twrp-3.1.1-0-greatlte_V3 the error: flash fail
Flashing TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-greatlte-2018-08-21_17-30 similar results
Now I do not know how to start
I think you use the wrong Odin Version. You need Odin v3.13.1.
You used twrp already before your Software Update? Or why you want to flash TWRP?
Normally it's enough to flash a 4 part stock firmware to get your device working again. Use the "home CSC" file to don't lose your own files.
Edit:
on your first try it looks like you tried to flash an older firmware version. You can't downgrade the bootloader. Flash the same or a newer firmware.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

For the TWRP error, are you wiping data (where you have to type yes) first? If you do not do that TWRP won't work. There is also newer versions of TWRP available.

Previously my phone was not rooted or installed TWRP, everything original.
The phone announces a new software update, I make updates and the result is a phone hang on the samsung logo
I downloaded a stock rom, I made Flash with Odin 3.13.1 but the result was a bug, now I do not have a Bootloader. I found out that I was flashing an old version.
So I need Flash recovery, I was trying to find a new version but as a result I could not successfully flash.
I have been trying to find a newer Fimware (such as Android 8) but now I'm still not successful

What do you mean you cannot flash and you don't have a bootloader?
"kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1" means your device is binary 2 and you're trying to flash binary 1 onto your device.
e.g the latest version firmware for note 8 is N950FXXU4CRGA - U4 shows this firmware is binary 4. On the bootloader - SWREV B:1 - this should show if your device is binary 1.
You will need to first oem unlock the device to flash TWRP/custom img. Warning- flashing TWRP will result in KNOX 1.
Note - bootloader should still be there (you might just have drained all your battery) unless the flash failed during flashing bootloader (bootloader is download mode).
Download firmware here (same firmware for n950fd and n950f) - use samfirm program for faster download (only latest ver).

Very thank you
I downloaded the android version 8, I successfully flashed. But this time it was like the beginning. the phone is moving, into the upgrade and error, android child back
Then the phone automatically enters recovery mode
I implemented the wipe cache and wipe data but could not change the result

How to oem unlock the device?
To oem unlock (like all the new samsung devices) you must enable it in the developer options in settings.
As your phone would not boot oem unlock is not available. you must first ensure the phone can boot to stock firmware
Hello,
I am new to Samsung devices and have tried to install twrp on my note 9.
Firstly I enabled OEM Unlock in dev options and let the phone reset.
I then went into download mode and went to odin3 and selected the correct twrp file in AP and clicked Flash.
It passed and the phone rebooted to the system.
I then tried to get into twrp but it just took me to the stock recovery so I tried reflashing it and now I get the following error:
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)"
I have tried going back to dev options to make sure OEM unlock is enabled but it has completely disappeared!!!
I have tried completely reflashing the stock ROM using Odin with no luck!
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? This is getting super frustrating because I have never had this issue on any other android phone.
Any help is Very Appreciated Thank You.

read dr ketans guide in the general discussion thread.
so i'm trying to root my phone, followed the steps to install TWRP from ashyx's thread, but found myself unable to even flash the twrp file through due to this error:
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Already tried OEM unlocking, the option's gone
Nevermind, got it to install

How did u get oem option to return? Mine also had disappeared and I can't get to flash twrp
Hi guys.
Trying to sort this one out once and for all.
Just got a notice that 11.0.5.0.QFKEUXM are ready for downloading. The problem is that i'm running with unlocked bootloader and rooted. So every time it try to update it will just get stuck at the custom recovery.
Trying to flash the downloaded OTA via TWRP gives me -Zip file is corrupt.
Manually downloaded the recovery rom via getdroidtips but that gives me same error message.
Trying to find a fastboot rom of 11.0.5.0.QFKEUXM but that seems impossible.
So what's the best options here? Just wait untill someone release the fastboot one? Or is there any other safe way to flash and keep all the data?
Cheers

I'll give you the links from the official download site.
In theory you should be able to update using the recovery ROM in TWRP, if I remember correctly the OTA ROM doesn't work in TWRP.
Get the latest recovery ROM from here
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1700361
Haven't checked what version is currently available, but you can always get the latest fastboot ROM from here. If it's not the latest, then wait a couple of days for it to appear. I think it normally gets updated at the same time as the recovery ROM is released, but couldn't say for definite.
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Scroll through the list in section 2
For some reason they appear as a blank page on a mobile browser, so if viewing on your phone you will need to change the browser to view in desktop mode.
