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?

Flash stock image
Similar problem in another thread I just posted to. I am having similar problems.
If after flashing stock then flash custom recovery to be able to go into recovery ?
Hello, I need to know what version of firmware you were, I think, will have to increase the bootloader to install again and there TWRP, flash any ROM

Make sure you're using TWRP 2.8.6
Do all your wipes, reboot again into recovery, go to mount and make sure system isn't checked, go to install and try to flash again.

Hello,
Tried rooting my phone with no prior experience. Worked, but eventually I got to where the phone wouldn't boot past splash screen (logo came up, then screen went black while backlight is on and didn't respond to stimuli until battery was removed). Possibly resulted from a build.prop file problem. Did get into boot though, so I fixed that problem by installing a cyanogen rom from a zip file using twrp recovery. I didn't want a custom mod though since I'm used to the look and feel of the 4.0.3 ICS I had, and the cyanogen doesn't seem to have google play so I can't even download anything (original purpose of rooting was to get incompatible apps by spoofing via build.prop file). Currently trying to get back to stock. Unfortunately I didn't make a nandroid backup of the system before the problem occurred, hence I have no backup to flash.
What I tried:
1. Use the official HTC 4.0.3 RUU .exe to upload to the phone. Unfortunately HTC Sync doesn't see this phone, even though I have the correct drivers installed.
2. Attempted to use twrp recovery to install the rom.zip extracted from the RUU directly, the same way I successfully installed the cyanogenmod rom. Failed, claiming it's unable to open zip. The .zip file was checked for integrity and returned by an archiver app.
3. Tried to use these commands from the cmd with phone connected to install the .zip from fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRuu
fastboot flash zip rom.zip (rom.zip being the functional file of the stock rom)
Failed, saying it's not allowed. Tried it with both locked and unlocked bootloader, no difference.
4. Unzipped the file and tried to flash the system.img file directly, but that failed with a "data length is too large" error.
5. My recovery being twrp 2.1.1, tried looking for altenatives. Can't find any links to download the WCX recovery, but I found several for newer twrp versions, including 2.3.1.0 and 2.6.3.0 which I tried downloading flashing. After flashing the phone got stuck at the cyanogenmod loading logo and wouldn't boot further, and the recovery itself didn't work, just showed the HTC splash, turned black, then booted again normally, getting stuck at the cyanogen logo. Same thing for the 2.6.3.0 version, so I reflashed the original 2.1.1, at which point I can get into recovery but the phone is still stuck at the cyanogenmod during normal boot. At this point I installed the original cyanogenmod .zip from recovery and now at least the phone boots up normally. Still need to get stock back somehow.
Out of ideas and exhausted from this. Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps anyone has a working stock 4.0.3 rom for the Vivid, nandroid backup, etc., or any other ideas. Thanks for reading.
Oh crap...
OK... First... Stock rom can be found in development... Most of the roms there are stock... Read the OP... It'll tell you...
Second... You should use TWRP 2.5.3.0 or something like that I forget...
Third... When you tried the ruu... Did you relock your bootloader...
Side note... Could you get your phone to show up with 'fastboot devices'
I have SM-N920CD variant and on stock Android M 6.0.1, Region:THR CSC:N920COJV2BPBA
I tried to flash TWRP through Odin in order to root and flash SkyHigh kernel but got stuck on Samsung logo bootscreen after flashing, I re-flashed my stock firmware to revive my phone and got it back working. I tried two different versions of Odin "Odin3 v3.10.7 and Odin3_v3.10.6" but still same results, I also used different PCs and downloaded TWRP twice.
Am I doing anything wrong or it is just me?
Did you try booting back to recovery and cleaning cache and rebooting. Sounds a little too basic I know but it has worked for me often enough. Just a thought.

Try flashing again - this time ensure keep system as "read-only" option when you first flash TWRP. Then in TWRP recovery mode (straight after flashing & before rebooting), ensure that "system" is ticked/selected in the "Mount" option in TWRP menu - now reboot to system (you will need to tick/select "system" in Mount option each time if you boot into TWRP recovery mode).

I can't even get to recovery, I can either get to download mode or stuck on bootscreen. I think it is the recovery getting messed up.

I tried to enter recovery before rebooting and after flashing but with no luck. I assume to use the typical method (power+up+home). Am I missing something?

Start all over again by re-flashing back to stock ROM/stock recovery and try again via Odin to flash TWRP - Make sure to go into recovery (TWRP) mode away straight away by 'power+vol up+home' buttons rather than booting into system.
Then mount system on in TWRP before rebooting to system - This worked for me, no probs since.
Also, ensure you have the correct TWRP .tar for your model (and ??maybe try an older Odin version for flashing TWRP).
Flash this TWRP through Odin:

I tried that but nothing happened, it kept me on download mode otherwise system is booting.
Is it possible to enter recovery directly from download mode without power off?

I don't think you can go from download mode directly to TWRP recovery mode without power off.......... Try re-booting from download mode but before it re-starts quickly hold 'power+vol up+home'.
Have you tried starting from scratch i.e back to stock recovery, and tried flashing with an older version of Odin?

I tried from scratch but with same results. Could it be ROM related?

i have tried that, and got an issues related to mount the storage as well, but able to overcome all that
and now the phone went from stuck on "Samsung" logo, into a loopboot
all this with the Samsung Stock ROM
but at the moment i install Lineage ROM, it works immediately
tried my best to make it work with samsung stock rom, but i couldn't
I'm in a weird situation, I flashed the latest stock firmware for my phone (N920GDDS4CRD2_N920GODD3CQJ2_N920GUBU4CRA1_HOME.tar) through odin and now it is stuck. Then I went to download mode again to flash twrp just to try to wipe cache and stuff to get it working, no luck as it wouldn't boot into recovery. Then I tried flashing the same firmware through odin again but I get an error (sw rev. check failed), I know why I am getting this. its because the phone doesn't allow downgrading and the firmware that I am trying to flash is the latest one. Any help would be appreciated.
Check last twrp installed. Next try flash any custom rom.zip
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.
