To keep it simple.
Samsung devices don't have a fastboot mode.
Download/odin mode is samsungs version of fastboot and generaly used with odin software on your pc.

There are a few reasons why it won't read.
You could try reinstalling samsung driver. I think v1.7.43 in the latest version.
Try a different lead and/or usb port.
If you start your phone normally you should be able to see it through windows explorer as well as odin.

You can use this guide to installed twrp. While in general it's more about the process/method to install twrp. There have been upgrades versions of twrp,root,custom roms etc. On my S9 running latest firmware is slightly different to the guide in regards to the files that i have to flash.
Will need to know what android version your on.
Note: Twrp will require you to Format your Data partition so if anything you need copy or backup and keep stored off the phone.

Stuck at initialization step with Odin3 v3.12 with FRP lock on SM-N920L

I'm having the the problem after try to flash (N920LKLU2DQC7_N920LLUC2DQC7_N920LKLU2DQC4_HOME.ta r). Odin3 v3.12 stuck at initialization step as image attached. Also try with Odin3 v3.07 and Odin3 v3.10.6 with the same problem. Maybe because FRP lock in ON status or anything else? Need help ASAP

Try again after enabling 'OEM Unlock' in the Developer Options. By doing so FRP lock will be off.
And what exactly are you trying to do...?

Actually, this is phone come from stock official rom, which is received OTA update from samsung then try to download the updates but it's stuck during updating. Now this phone, can boot into download mode only.
I can't boot into system anymore and turn the on the OEM unlock function in developer mode.
Is there solution to resolve this. TIA
Im just guessing; since the OP doesn't flash a custom stuff like twrp recovery, OEM unlocking is not necessary. And the knox is hasn't tripped yet as i see. I would try another usb port, different version of odin(run as administrator) and be sure usb drivers are correctly installed on the PC. If all is OK; just try flashing the fw version which came installed on the device. If it success, enable oem unlock then try flashing latest fw and keep the OEM unlock enabled for future plans like rooting etc.

FYI, I already try to flash with different Odin like v3.12, v3.07 and v3.10.6 but still same stuck at initialization step but I'm not flash the fw which is came at first because I dont know what the previous fw. The fw that I try to flash is original samsung fw from sammobile which is the latest ones (Nougat 7.0), actually this device is not mine, its my friend device that need my help to resolve it.
Maybe this device is from 5.0 and received OTA update for 6.0, maybe I should try to flash with 5.0 version first the try 6.0 later. Anyway thanks for advice @Konsstantine34
Do refer attachment, which version should I flash it?

Upgrading from X to latest fw; shouldn't be a problem, downgrade could. In my opinion it's about the usb port/cable. Try different ones of them. Side note: If odin fails/freezes once; you have to reboot into download mode again to start a new session.
Also can you please post the screenshot of Options tab in Odin? Perhaps partition stuff or others are checked which supposed to be not.

If Odin is seeing the phone in download mode my guess would be that your drivers are fine (I could be wrong) so I can't help but wonder why it sticks on initialization. I flash firmware on my device with FRP on all the time. I can only suggest using smart switch. When you connect your phone with smart switch running it will tell you that your device is not supported. It will still work. You will need the serial number and you must use capital letters and the dash in the model number.

If you have adb installed on your pc you don't even need odin.. Just go into recovery mode and select flash from adb then open a command prompt and (first make sure your firmware is in the SAME exact folder as adb is) then type adb sideload firmwarename.md5
Try that.

Fyi, this device can boot into download mode ONLY even I try several times with button combination.
My pc already have ADB install on it. Is it using adb method gonna work in download mode or just in recovery mode only? I also dont know what fw is it in this device due to I can view download mode only.

Sorry adb sideload only works in recovery.. Try using my version of odin.. Sometimes odin will freeze and say Not Responding when it's first checking the MD5 file but if you leave it alone for 5 minutes I'll respond again.. Don't connect the phone until after odin finishes checking the md5 file..
My odin version is here you just need to unzip it..

Root your Note FE

IMPORTANT - READ THIS FIRST:
The Note FE comes with dm-verity check and forced encryption enabled. You will need to remove this extra layer of security for root access. To disable dm-verity and forced encryption you must install TWRP recovery first on your Note FE. Note that disabling forced encryption and dm-verity requires a factory reset from TWRP recovery, so you should backup your data (internal storage) before you begin.
The next stage then will be to root the device by flashing the SuperSU zip via TWRP recovery. SU will also ensure that dm-verity and forced encryption remains disabled. Bear in mind, however, that a factory reset will restore them again.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
Download Odin and drivers here: https://build.nethunter.com/samsung-tools/
Download TWRP for Note 7 Exynos: there are two versions: Korean and International:
Korean version: https://dl.twrp.me/graceltekor/
International: https://dl.twrp.me/gracelte/
Download the latest version of SuperSu here: https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip?retrieve_file=1
You should also download the stock firmware appropriate to your version of Note FE, just in case. Variants S & L can be found on Sammobile, and variant K is available here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634784008
ROOTING YOUR NOTE FE:
Read these instructions through carefully before you begin.
(1) Install TWRP Recovery on your Note FE via Odin.
(2) Boot your Note FE into TWRP recovery as follows:
(a) First switch off your device.
(b) Now Press and hold “Home + Power + Volume Up” buttons for a few seconds and as soon as you see your device’s logo on-screen, release the three buttons altogether. Your device will boot into TWRP recovery.
(3) Upon booting into TWRP recovery for the first time, you’ll get a prompt to allow system modifications. You should swipe right to allow this.
(4) On the TWRP main menu, select WIPE then select “Format Data”. You will need to type yes in order to proceed. This will clean wipe the entire internal storage on your Note FE (make sure you have backed-up your important files safe to restore later).
(5) Still in TWRP recovery, you should now connect your Note FE to the PC. (TWRP supports MTP connection so you’ll be able transfer files to the device.) Wait until your Note FE appears on your PC desktop (may take a while first time). You can now transfer the SuperSU zip to your Note FE.
(6) Go back to the TWRP main menu and select “Install” this time. Now you can flash the SuperSU zip.
(7) Reboot your Note FE.
You should now be rooted. Test using an appropriate app.
It would be helpful to others if you reported your experience and the outcome here.
Good luck.
Thanks again for using your device to test this bro!

Are you letting it boot into system then trying to boot into twrp or trying to boot direct to twrp after it flashes?

I did both and still freeze on the logo screen if I attempt to access recovery. I did it like 40 times still doing the same and flashed the stock and redid again and still the same.
OEM unlock on, and USB debugging on and Odin flash showing successful, not sure what am missing, I did it before in other note 7.

Two possibilities why it's not working for you:
Try flashing TWRP with USB debugging off.
Are you placing the TWRP file in the right slot (AP) in Odin?
The last one is obvious, but it's strange that TWRP doesn't open for you.

Well, it works. But there may be minor problems. If we get enough reports we should be able to isolate these and see what can be done to correct them.
These are early days with FE so there will be little personal data on them yet. So this is a good time for some experimentation, especially as flashing stock is known to be successful.

I used "twrp-3.1.1-0-gracelte.img.tar".
Are you formatting data? If you are, try flashing without allowing modifications and without formatting data. You won't be able to make use of TWRP in that mode, but try it and see what happens.
One last try: If the above fails, try entering stock recovery after you flash the stock firmware.
Finally, I have the K variant. It might be that the problem occurs because you have a different variant.
You could get the TWRP app (check the TWRP site). There is a specific version for korean telecoms (graceltekor). I've dloaded it and will give it a try tomorrow. But you should test the above suggestions first.

There's a 3.1.1-0 version of the korean version (graceltekor) too. Use the new link I added to the OP. I've tried both today, now that I have a better idea of what is involved. Both work fine, seems to be no difference between them - I mean, for our purposes.
But it's really good to have full root. Honestly never expected it to be this good.

Cant flash TWRP Recovery

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.

In every case, it is possible to upgrade to latest OxygenOS by using full signed zip from this thread via Local Upgrade.
With the device powered off, hold Volume Up & Volume Down buttons to force it to boot to Qualcomm download mode.
Use the most updated signed driver (2.1.2.2 at this moment) to avoid potential issues..
For detailed procedures, please consult the linked threads above. There is no reason to repeat the same thing again.
Make sure the path of the extracted files doesn't contain any non-English character. The tool isn't unicode aware.

Thank you for this!!
Doesn't this leave you with a Chinese modem (limited LTE bands and roaming configs?) and critical partitions? Wouldn't an international or European tool be more suitable considering that Oxygen zips may not overwrite everything? Or is this just a temporary guide with what we have?

Temp? yes and no, I would say. Better than warranty R&D in days no phone for use.
As far as you can revive the phone from QDL9008 back to HOS/OOS, you now have a chance Again to switch over whatever ROM or OS you want later on.

Yep that's i though, but i finaly looking for EU version. Because i think with OTA upgrade to GMBA EU modem will not contain the good modem right ?
---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
failed to install on EU model : param preprocessing and stop at 5 ou 7 sec before flashing. I tryed using anothere patched tool and not working :s
Please help me, I failed pretty hard and bricked my phone.
I rooted my phone with stock recovery using a patched magisk boot image and all went fine.
Today, I deviced to temporarily boot into twrp to check it out, so I booted into fastboot and used "fastboot boot twrp.img"
and booted into system. I was confused and rebooted but now I was stuck in stock recovery. So I completely flashed TWRP
on boot_a and boot_b and into TWRP I rooted my device. But even now I am always bootlooping into TWRP and can't
get my phone to boot into system.
I tried using the unbrick tool but my device won't show up on my computer, even with the driver installed.
I'm screwed, can someone help?
Can I somehow reflash the stock recovery and revert back to my patched boot image?

what is your device OOS 9.5.3/4/5/6 ?
flash the co-responding stock boot.img from twrp with magisk zip together, and see if you can boot

You havn't bricked your phone, just put it in fastboot mode and reupload boot image to the correct slot !

Thanks for your replies! I was on OOS 9.5.5 and I tried flashing the twrp/magisk zips but that didn't work either. I also tried applying the stock boot.img to the active slot, but still got the recovery bootloop.
So as my last hope, I wiped all data in recovery mode, rebooted to fastboot and sideloaded the complete stock image from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
I reconfigured my phone from scratch, rooted with the patched boot image like before and everythings works now. Guess I will not bother with TWRP any time soon.

But I think that these packages will not work on T-mobile 1915!
When I reboot into edl mode, it recognizes the "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", but then 10 seconds later, the phone automatically boots the the battery display, which disables edl. The same this happens whether I use the vol up+down and plug in, or `adb reboot edl`.
Edit: "How I learned to stop worrying and risk a brick"
Selecting the right COM and hitting start in MSMtool in that 10 second window kept it in edl mode for the duration of the flash.

Has anyone managed to root S6 edge G925a 7.0? (build version G925AUCS7ERC1)

I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (build version G925AUCS7ERC1) running 7.0 nougat.
On this firmware, pingpong root does not work. So, today I tried to revert my phone back to android 5.0 by flashing an old rom (build version G925AUCU1AOCE).
It didn't work. I got an error message "REV. CHECK FAILED," which is specifically built in to prevent you from downgrading (**** you Samsung)
Does anyone know how to root this model/firmware?
Thanks
dude use magisk

That sounds promising. However, it seems TWRP is required to install Magisk. And it seems there is no TWRP image for G925a ( https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6edge.html)
Another problem is that I can't get fastboot to recognize the phone. "adb reboot bootloader" reboots the phone but it doesn't enter fastboot mode.
Do you have any advice on how to get magisk installed on this specific model?

So, I tried to flash that recovery.img file to the recovery partition of my phone using Heimdall. It didn't work. (The reason I used heimdall is because my operating system is Linux. I'm pretty sure the behavior would be the same on Odin.)
The error message I got on the phone was "SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY)"
After doing some research, it seems that on these "newer" Samsung models you're simply not allowed to write these partitions. It seems that Samsung supports installing a custom OS like Lineage, but they don't want you to mess around with the proprietary OS.

This looks like the exact problem I am having:
No OEM Unlock in Developer Options SM-G925A
hi, I have a SM-G925A with Nougat 7.0 and August 2017 security patch, but I can't find OEM Unlock option in developer options, most posts online say that means it should be already unlocked, but when trying to flash twrp with odin in download...
forum.xda-developers.com
Ran into the same problem. PIT file is correct but heimdall and JOdin3 both have issues trying to put TWRP into recovery. I did manage to get JOdin3 to work by adding/replacing the /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (see attached), but it did not take. Go figure.
