Hello,
I'm in the process of installing a recovery mod rooting my root 4.
When I try to install TWRP using Odin, I don't get any error messages, it says PASS, everything looks okay.
When I try to boot into recovery, it shows the android bot with the message (installing system updates) under it, and then it loads the default samsung recovery instead of TWRP.
I made sure that I have the correct version of TWRP downloaded (N910H Exynos version, named twrp-2.8.7.0-treltexx.img.tar). I aslo ran Odin as administrator, but it's still not working, the knox counter was tripped however.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I can't proceed with the rooting process without TWRP.

Hi,
my GT-P3100 tablet keeps restarting after a few minutes.
So I tried to uninstall lastly installed app, but the device restarted every time I tried to do something with it - even a factory reset or opening the play store app. I also couldn't perform a factory reset form the recovery - it seemed like it was done ("Data wipe complete"), but it changed nothing. The next step I made was to flash a new firmware through Odin (3.09). The original firmware was 4.1.0, I flashed 4.2.2 - the whole process seemed to be OK, but an error occurred when the SYSTEM part was being flashed. I tried it 2 more times with the same result. Then I tried to root it with CF-Auto-root through Odin. The process was made successfully (as Odin wrote). The next step was to flash the CWM recovery (with hope that I will be able to perform a working factory reset). This was successful again, but the recovery didn't change.
AFTER ALL THIS STEPS I HAVE THE SAME LOOKING SYSTEM - with all apps, same restart problem,... It seems like it is protected against writing/deleting of anything.
I would be really thankful, if anybody gives me an advice what to do...
Thank you very much.[/QUOTE]
So I tried to my Samsung galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3100.
1. Tried to uninstall software, but it's restore again after every reboot.
2. Tried to delete some Images, video and sms but again it restart and restore.
3. Tried using safe mode but nothing changed.
4. Tried to wipe data/factory reset using system recovery. when I entered recovery menu some massage shown at bottom
Applied the CSC-code: TMZ... did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/default_workspace.xml' (No data available)
5. Flash ROM with odin 3.09 but it failed at 50%, but nothing changed.
6. Flash ROM using ADB bootloader, but nothing changed.
7. Flash rom from sd card, but nothing changed.
8. Tried to flash a CWM, TWRP recovery image, via fastboot, ADB, SD card, odin, but nothing changed.
9. Flash ROM with Heimdall (Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices).:crying:
10. When I went to the service center they suggest me replace motherboard. (cost Rs. 7500/-)
any suggestions are welcome

Hi
This is really frustrating. I own many Samsung devices and never had any issue installing twrp, so I am not a noob when it comes to firing up Odin and flashing the image however I am stuck with this device.
I used couple guides with no success. ;( I cant get rid of the Samsung recovery and replace with TWRP. Odin says success but that is just a lie.
I tried both the lollilop bootloader and the older one then TWP with various versions (3.1x , 2.8.x) No luck.
Can anyone please provide me "working files" with "simple steps" in case I am missing out on some minor details. This is SM-P900 Kitkat 4.4.2 version.
- I flash the bootloader using the BL slot in dl mode
- I reboot to downloader again and and install TWRP
- I type adb revoot recovery
Boom, I am back to frigging Samsung recovery
Hi ,
This is a follow up
The only guide that worked for me is this one. It might be helpful to others.

I had trouble getting TWRP to take at first too. It seems Samsung overwrites the recovery upon rebooting so even though TWRP flashed successfully it just gets overwritten when the system restarts. The simple solution for me was to disable the Reboot option in Odin, install TWRP, manually shut down and then enter Recovery mode. Hope that helps. I came across this suggestion either in the thread linked to above or while googling.
Im installing into properly rooted and I have twrp 2.8.7. I want 3+ TWRP.
I flash with PDA/AP and with "autoreboot" unchecked. I power off and power+home+volUP for recovery.
Tablet enters a "enttering recovery" bootloop which can be only disrupted by going into power+home+volDWN to enter Download, and than I can flash with ODIN 2.8.7.
2.8.7 is the latest I can boot into. WHAT IS WRONG?!!!!!!!!! I lost hope, with flashing 100x
Did you try updating TWRP from inside TWRP?
Sent from my Samsung SM-P900 using XDA Labs
try do a full wipe from stock recovery . after that flash twrp selecting the ap and bl in ODIN twrp3.1....tar booth of them (AP & BL)
no no no i tried everything. but than I found out this post : https://s4.postimg.org/s3pel2ekd/this_guy.png and that solved the day!!
With p900 work perfect, but install hard. With this twrp 3.1 i install lineage 14.1, all works good.
I desperately need help! let me start off by saying that I'm usually decent at figuring problems out myself I've lurked on XDA for awhile and have had many a phone that I was able to root or fix myself.
However this issue is impossible. I've made a mistake and tried to root my phone without upgrading to the version the root was originally intended for. I was using the CF auto root that I've found here at XDA. Now I am stuck on the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" error whenever my phone reboots. Everywhere I've searched says to boot into recovery but this is the message I get when I try to go into recovery?
Also how can I flash the stock firmware when my phone was not successfully rooted? CWRM or TWRP won't work without root access. So that leaves me as follows, I can't flash firmware without root access, I can't get root access or stock firmware without booting into recovery, and I can't boot into recovery without un-corrupted firmware? Do you see this giant loop of impossible I've roped myself into? I've tried using Odin to flash the firmware and I always get the "FAIL! (Auth) message right away. And as far as rooting goes I know of no other way other than with my original firmware.
Sometimes I am able to boot into my phone if I am lucky but I can never get into recovery or factory reset. This is all so frustrating as I had an old phone exactly like this one that I was able to root correctly not before finding out it wasn't unlocked and had to send it back! Is my phone screwed?
My phone is a Galaxy s5 SM-900w8 4.4.2

TWRP doesn't actually require root, it can do what it wants without it. It needs root to use adb while booted into TWRP but that isn't because TWRP requires root to do it, it is because adb requires root.
Root is sometimes used to flash TWRP via an app.
Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin then seeing if you can boot to recovery?
Also, if you get lucky and the device boots into system, try going to system settings>backup and reset then find the factory reset setting, try factory reseting it that way and then see if you can flash TWRP or your stock firmware via Odin.
Are you booted into download mode when you are flashing stock firmware in Odin?

I've tried doing a factory reset if I get lucky and it takes me into the main screen but immediately it gives me the "seandroid" error message the same as if I press volume up, menu, and power. I am able to boot onto download mode ive tried this to flash firmware but Odin gives me a Fail (Auth) message each time. I'm not even sure if TWRP has a version for my phone yet I'm not sure much about TWRP. If there's a way I can break this chain I'll try anything.
TWRP working so far
I found a custom version of TWRP and thankfully was able to flash it on my phone using odin. I was also able to get the Root working with TWRP as well. I'm going to play around with the phone awhile longer to see if everything is fine. I no longer get the "seandroid" error message while booting up the phone however it does briefly appear upon loading into the recovery but so far TWRP takes its place after a few seconds. It worried me at first but as long as TWRP kicks in each time it's a good sign. I'll leave the thread as unresolved for a while longer in case anyone has any further suggestions or in case something goes wrong but all my thanks goes out to Droidriven!

Good to good, glad you made progress, hopefully that's all you'll need to do.
I don't see how I was much help though. All I did was explain TWRP not needing root.

Understandable, however I never would of thought to try TWRP without your suggestion. It seems when you are stumped the answer is right there all it needs is someone else to chime in and point it out. Like trying to beat a hard level over and over sometimes just give the controller to someone else and they will get it their first try lol.

By the way, when flashing stock firmware via Odin, root is not required. The only time root is required to flash stock ROM is when flashing a stock firmware that has been converted into a custom recovery stock flashable.zip. It is not uncommon for someone in this community to convert stock firmware into a recovery flashable .zip. This is used so that the device doesn't lose root or custom recovery. When flashing stock the normal way via PC, it removes root and reverts the device back to stock recovery. Then the device has to be rooted and flash recovery again. The stock flashable .zip avoids all of that because it gets flashed in custom recovery, this way, recovery is not lost and root is not lost.
This only applies "IF" someone converts the firmware to flashable .zip. Not all devices have a stock flashable .zip available though.

Hello,
I just flashed the latest ROM for the S8+ (AQL5) and that went well.
Afterwards I tried to flash TWRP, but now the phone is stuck on the Samsung screen.
I then followed the guide I found here to use the BL file of AQF7 in Odin and spam the Start button so I managed to get into TWRP.
Question is, what do I do next? I restart the system it's the same problem all over again.
No one explains anywhere what to do in TWRP to save the phone.
Can I remove TWRP or somehow save the phone (without wiping my data)
Please help
Can you get to download mode? Then go to ODIN and redo your flashing of the OS and then TWRP. After the flash of TWRP, immediately boot into TWRP, and do Verity if you want that, and your root, if not already done. Clear Dalvik/cache and reboot to system.
It is not uncommon for folks, following TWRP flash, to get stuck in boot loop, unfortunately. Can take a little time, but you will get through it and finally to System.
But I thought all new firmware versions are incompatible with TWRP and cause this error.
I might try to install TWRP again if I flash the latest compatible version (I think it's the F7 one).
Does "Verify" in TWRP make that annoying "Your phone is not verified" message go away? The only option is to Reset phone when that thing comes up and I don't want to do that.
I managed to get out of that by reflashing the AQL5 version and just not installing TWPR.
Kind of scared to retry because everything goes wrong when I try to follow the guides on here or youtube

I have Exynos - model SM-G955F
Yes I can go to download mode but I won't do the things you ask because they're guaranteed to soft-brick the phone again and I have it working now
i have the same problem, followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-galaxy-s8-crgh-rom-t3846009 managed to get to TWRP no problems, once i reset the device though im stuck at the samung galaxy s8+ boot screen and can't get it off
any suggestions ? i did try to search but this old thread was the only relevant one i could find

I hope someone reads this as I'm lost for ideas. First time trying to root a device, I'm using an s8+ and somehow managed to mess up installing twrp using Odin.
Now when I try to re flash twrp it comes up with error, 'only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed'. Also I think I managed to erase the recovery program that comes with the phone as when I try to boot in recovery it now comes up with error message 'No command'.
I have reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin but that hasn't fixed anything.
Anyone got any ideas or insite into this problem. Any advice would be very appreciated as I'm so keen to discover rooting!!

Seeing No command is normal, with an icon of a dead android lol, thats stock recovery, blue screen, i got that all time, but after waiting about 30 seconds and pressing the buttons, i got the mnue to pop up to reset cache, reboot phone, wipe data etc.
As for TWRP, are you flashing the correct one, dream2lte??, download the latest one, the dream2lte.img .tar file, from the TWRP official website - - https://dl.twrp.me/dream2lte/twrp-3.3.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar.html.
I had this issue trying to flash TWRP with standard odin, i had to use a modded version of odin to flash it, even prince cosmy version didnt work for me.
I have attatched the ODIN i use, its a 7zip file.
Thank you, after trying a few more things the twrp file you gave me worked. I now have a fully rooted s8!!!! Your a legend.
