If you allow the tablet to boot to the system, your flash of TWRP will be overwrittten. In Odin you have to uncheck the auto reboot in option before flash TWRP. I'm not familiar what buttons are used on your tablet but on most you have to hold the power and vol down buttons to turn off the tablet and as soon as the screen turns off, switch your finger from vol down to vol up to boot to recovery rather than system. You only need to do this once.

[Q] Flash Custom ROM with Odin?

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.

twrp works fine but won't start via vol+power

Hi, as the title says, i can't boot to twrp when the phone is powered off. It will ignore what i push and just boot into cyanogenmod.
It used to work at some point, also i can get to twrp if i restart via the twrp app.
I should probably just reflash it?
If I'd somehow lock me from the os while experimenting, i could still run twrp via fastboot in ?
kind regards!

if in os press power+vol+ to reboot. when screen off power+ vol- to enter recovery

Xperia Z1 won't enter recovery mode

Hello, my Z1 doesn't enter in recovery mode. I've tried with TWRP and CWM and it doesn't work. I tried in classic way (turn off the phone, hold the power button+vol. down and I've tried with both vol buttons) and with ADB is just restarting normally.
Notification light must be on when I turn on the phone but mine doesn't do that:crying:

Did u have try to re flash cwm or twrp?
I have the same problem. Yes I've tried to reflash TWRP and CWM and nothing happend
try installing ndr utils and see if it helps
I've tried and nothing happend. I still can't get in recovery mode. Maybe the motherboard is broken?
I have the same problem sometimes, when i flash new ROM.
Try flashing Philz dual?
LB or UB?
if unlocked bootloader flash latest ta that enables real recovery then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This way you won't lose recovery even if you mess up the boot(kernel) partition

First of all install NUT Recovery for you Xperia Z1 and after installation of recovery turn off your phone.
Turn on your phone and repeatedly press the Vol Down Key until you see the purple color in LED Notification.
Then you can see the TWRP Recovery.

SM-T713 stuck in Odin mode (won't power off)

I am trying to install LineageOS on a brand new SM-T713. I have booted the device into Odin mode and used Heimdall to flash TWRP. AFAICT, this completed successfully.
Now I am supposed to power the device off and reboot it into recovery mode, but I can't figure out how to power it off.
Any ideas?
UPDATE: The solution was to hold down the volume-up, volume-down, and power buttons simultaneously; this reboots the device. Fortunately, the stock OS did not overwrite the recovery partition, so I was able to power-off and boot into TWRP.

Just POWER + VOL DOWN to reboot.

Problems installing TWRP in Tab S2 T713

My Tab S2 T713 is currently running the latest stock Samsung rom. I want to install Lineage 15.1
I've downloaded twrp-3.2.1-0-gts28vewifi.img.tar & Odin 3.12.7. I can boot into download mode, flash TWRP with Odin which says success & my tablet reboots normally. When I power down & reboot into recovery TWRP gets over written by the stock recovery.
If I uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin, after flashing success, I'm still in download mode - I've read that I need to boot directly into recovery from download mode - how do I do this?
In download mode pressing home + voldown + power reboots normally. Pressing home + volup + power does nothing
What am I doing wrong?

https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/twrp-3-0-2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627
Instructions:
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
Brilliant - thank you. Why they can't have they have that in the Lineage install instructions?
Now running Lineage 15.1 = happy bunny

For the love of god, thank you. This wasn't in the LineageOS instructions. But I still can't install it, it says my bootloader isn't supported (T713XXU1APG1).

Did you go into your developer settings and make sure you toggled the option titled "OEM Unlock"?

Good to hear! Please make sure you give a thumbs up to anyone who helped. It really keeps the community alive and kicking!
I found that I had to do this from completely powered off state:
press home + volume up + power
wait until second "sentence" appears on screen in yellow (the first "sentence" is blue),
Then release all buttons
twrp now boots.
for some reason, my internal and external storage is showing 0 mb. Anyway to fix this?
Try formatting (not just wipe) data.
Should the Galaxy Tab S2 2016 be on TWRP 3.2.1.0 or the new 3.2.3.0 for Linage OS 15?
If so, can't you just flash the update using TWRP on the img file, or is ODIN on the tar needed?
OK, I updated to TWRP 3.2.3 using TWRP Recovery and the img file. Appears to work fine.

Sorry to revisit this issue. I can't get TWRP going on my S2 Tablet. I understand these instructions, but at the end of the ODIN installation there are two possibilities that I can see. If you set the ODIN to automatically reboot then you cannot do the above because it says to do it from completely powered off.
If you don't set ODIN to reboot automatically I can't get the tablet to turn off. I can only get it to boot by holding home+volume down + power. How do I get the tablet to power off before booting??
I am using ODIN 3.14.4 and TWRP-3.7.0 9-0-gts28wifi.img.tar and my stock firmware is NRD90M.T713XXS2BSG1 with Kernel 3.10.84-14953299
Thank you.
