Having 'Trouble' Flashing Recovery -- SM-G973F [ Beyond1LTE ] - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

_______________________________________________
Model: SM-G973F [Beyond1LTE]
One UI: v4.1
Android: v12
Baseband: G973FXXSGHWB3
Build: G973FXXSGHWC1
Security Patch: 01 March 2023
Bootloader: Unlocked
(Verified through "Developer Options"
--> 'OEM Unlocked - On' (Greyed out)
_______________________________________________
I am having trouble flashing a Recovery file on this Galaxy S10.
I used Odin v3.13.3 and v3.14.1 ,
and in both times, Odin detects the phone is connected
but when I tried to flash the
• recovery.tar (in "AP")
• vbmeta.tar (in "CP")
Odin does not show that it flashed any of the files,
ie. there is no progress.
I'm waiting for about 1+ minutes, with no activity to show flashing is in progress.
Should it take longer than that?
I have also tried to patch the recovery through Magisk,
ie. after installing Magisk.apk on the phone,
and I directly patch the recovery.img file through Magisk.
Then, tried flashing this patched recovery.tar through Odin,
and there's still no progress in Odin to show me it's flashing.

I've figured out my problem.
I was able to flash the recovery file successfully today.
The solution was that the filename MUST be named exactly:
--> recovery.img (inside recovery.tar )
It must be spelt exactly that way: " recovery . img "
I only renamed my .tar file, as " recovery "
So, everyone ... don't repeat my mistake !

I have a weird issue now, on my S10 [Beyond1LTE].
I installed TWRP recovery and a LineageOS-based ROM,
and it was working fine for a few hours.
Through the ROM, I clicked to reboot to recovery,
and then, now my phone is in some kind of bootloop.
It does not go into recovery either.
I simply cannot get the phone to enter Recovery,
so I need help with this now.
Is it true that if the "USB Debugging"
in 'Developers Options' is switched on,
then I cannot enter the Recovery mode ?

Anyone got any tips or tricks, on how to get the S10 phone,
to enter into "Download" mode ?
Whatever I do, the phone just goes straight to booting ROM
(which itself does not load & hangs),
so I am trying to get into 'Download' mode,
to flash a new recovery, etc... and try again.

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.

System update with TWRP??

Hi guys,
my P10 (stock rom, rooted and TWRP installed) says I can install a new system update: VTR-L09C02B151
So it downloads the update, then reboot, but TWRP shows up and so no update is done.
How can I install this update?
Thank you
Would probably need to be on stock recovery
Hi,
I have the same problem, do you have the stock recovery
EDIT:
i don't tested that but he can solve this problem
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/dev-introducing-redlotus-source-huawei-t3601493
Thank you guys
sorry guys, back from holidays today.
I still don't understand how to do it

It's easy:
===============================
Step 1 - Back to Stock recovery:
Download this recovery - https://mega.nz/#!ucAnQD5D!VZETUq38R_drskwFgOXz_aK9wIsoIlbjUS5KHrULcTY
Connect your phone to PC and run these commands
adb devices (check your phone is connected)
adb reboot bootloader (reboot in fastboot mode)
fastboot devices (check your phone is in fastboot mode)
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img (flash to stock recovery)
fastboot reboot (reboot the phone)
==================================
Step 2 - Download System Update and install it
Go to Settings -> System Update -> Check for Update
==================================
Step 3 - Flash TWRP again
Download TWRP 3.1.1-2 - https://mega.nz/#!8JwhzBzD!jiuod03amEPlWpo1LD7GWiwP62Z9I97F_TEarmXRrFU
Download SuperSU 2.82 for EMUI5 - https://mega.nz/#!WAYhHRwC!KAaTqWDID9-0e4s4RuKmUN_AKWBPjDJ0ynTXi7sYAv4
Put the 2.6.SuperSU2.82-EMUI5-SelEnforcing.zip in your SD card
Connect your phone to PC and run these commands
adb devices (check your phone is connected)
adb reboot bootloader (reboot in fastboot mode)
fastboot devices (check your phone is in fastboot mode)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (flash to TWRP)
fastboot boot recovery.img (reboot into recovery)
Go to "Install" menu and choose storage "Micro SD card" and install 2.6.SuperSU2.82-EMUI5-SelEnforcing.zip
Go to "Reboot" menu and press System for normal reboot.
Tested and works on my WAS-LX1C432.
Maybe this guide can be no more valid..
On my P10, updating from B179 to B180 (due to system notification) and TWRP/root installed, update process fails always.
So I extracted recovery.img from B179 Full-OTA update, flashed over TWRP and started system upgrade process, who completed successfully to B180.
However now I get FRP Unlock, (as before update) but PHONE Locked.
So system upgrade has overwrited the unlocked bootloader with a locked one.
Now, to reflash TWRP and apply root, I've to "fastboot oem unlock *Here Huawei Code*" for the second time, loosing all my apps, datas and settings!!
And each time a new update is available is the same way.. you have to go back to stock, and a new unlock will loose all your data....
Really annoying!
Step 2 - Download System Update and install it
Go to Settings -> System Update -> Check for Update
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So once I got to this part, it downloaded the update and then the phone rebooted into the stock eRecovery, but whenever it would try and install the update, it would say "Getting package info failed." Any ideas?
Hey I know I'm bumping here, but I'm seriously still at a loss with this. Stock recovery flashes fine, but every single time I try to install the new update, it comes up with ""Getting package info failed." If anyone has experienced this, it'd be great to get it resolved.

Odin flash twrp boot loop

I followed the steps in this guide attempting to flash a rom. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...lopment/rom-stock-debloated-deodexed-t3423387
I was able to flash the BL and modem no problem. I proceeded to flash twrp and have been stuck at boot since. I can only go back into DL mode. Read a few places that said to reinstall rom. How do i go about installing a rom via odin? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay. Here's what you do...
First, boot to DOWNLOAD MODE. Once in Download Mode, press the keys again like you are booting to Download Mode (VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER)
Watch the screen while holding the keys. When the screen goes blank, switch to the key combination for booting RECOVERY (VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER) and hold them until the TWRP screen appears. If the TWRP screen does not appear then we know TWRP didn't stick when you flashed it via Odin.
If the TWRP screen appears, release the keys and let it continue to boot to TWRP.
If TWRP does not boot, then I'd suggest flashing the stock firmware for your device. You can download the stock firmware for your device from www.sammobile.com or from www.updato.com
Sammobile.com is a very slow download unless you pay for a premium account. Updato is much faster. Make sure to select the correct region for your device before downloading the firmware.
Which version of Odin are you using? I've been using 3.12.3 and haven't had any problems at all with this version.
Once you habe downloaded the stock firmware, open Odin. Boot your device to Download Mode and then connect your USB cable. Make sure Odin shows you are connected.
Next, click the OPTIONS TAB in Odin and un-check
AUTO REBOOT. Then, select the AP TAB in Odin and navigate to the firmware file you have downloaded. Let Odin do its thing to verify the file and click START to begin the flash. Once the flash is complete, disconnect the USB Cable and press the key combination for booting to Download Mode again. Once the screen goes black, switch to the key combination for booting RECOVERY. Once in recovery you can select the reboot option to boot your device normally and start fresh from there and attempt to flash TWRP again.
Also, which Note 5 do you have?

Hey, thanks for your response. So I was able to get my System back to working. I had to downoad the stock firmware through sammobile. I ended up paying for the fast download (30days of service) Well ill keep updato in mind if this every happens again. Im on N920TUVU4EQE1 For the n920T since i had already flashed the modem and bootloader before i flashed twrp. I'm on Odin 3.12.3 as well.
"This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab."
Apparently the kernel i was using wasnt allowing twrp to install. So now i have to figure out how to root my new stock firmware and install recover so i can flash a rom.

What you have to do is this...
Flash TWRP, swipe to allow system modifications and then flash the no_verity_opt_encrypt_5.1.zip available from
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
This zip will disable dm-verity and forced encryption in the fstab and allow you to boot normally.
Once this had been done you can flash the root zip of your choice and go to town with debloating, custom ROM's and custom kernels.

When i flashed TWRP i unchecked the Auto-Reboot option. did a key combo to get to twrp but it didnt ask me to swipe to allow system modification. So i went ahead and flashed no_verity_opt_encrypt_5.1.zip with success. Proceeded to flash SuperSU-v2.66 and it got stuck at -Creating paths. I rebooted to recovery and found this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-s6-nougat-supersu-t3570740
Coming from sickmade 6.0.1 and through all the struggles i am now at stock ROOTED firmware EQG3 andriod 7.0! I just had to take my time and search around a bit. You guys are all amazing. Hopefully if someone has this problem they will find this thread.

Glad it's working for you. Good job. Now you can make your Note 5 your own. I'm an S6 Edge Plus user. We use the exact same ROM as the Note 5. We just use a different kernel. Happy flashing. If you run into any issues don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else here at XDA. This is a great place to read and learn especially with your Note 5. If a problem has occurred before you can bet that someone has posted about it and you will find a solution.

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.

S10 stuck on download section.

Hello,
I have S10 Exynos version with rooted android 9. I tried to install TWRP but after flashing it my device couldn't boot up. My mistake was probably that I wanted to hard reset the phone and after entering download mode I pressed VOL-UP button for a few seconds. After that my phone always boots to download mode and in the right upper corner these lines are written :
VBMETA: Error veryfing vbmeta image: OK_NOT_SIGNED (3)
CUSTOM VBMETA
VBMETA : No sign info
VBMETA .
Before opnening that download mode (which starts after 1 sec of booting) I managed to open normal download mode but unfortunately on the 6 lines it's written that : OEM LOCK: ON(U).
I dont know what should I do now. Is it possible to flash stock rom? In this instruction https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root it's written that I mustn't flash stock rom without previously patching it in Magisk.
Please help me guys.

I don't know if it's same situation, but I tried to flash twrp , decided to go back to stock magisk and it just wouldn't flash, kept saying only official binaries can be flashed. After a good few hours of freaking out I thought I'll try to just flash stock rom including stock ap file, and thank god it worked. I then ran setup as normal , made sure OEM unlock was turned on, proceeded to flash stock pie patched magisk and it worked.
