Issues with TWRP 920T Model - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a 920T with 5.0.2 android version and I'm having a hell of a time installing TWRP. I root fine verified root and the whole thing is beautiful. Every root app I try says im rooted, titanium backup works fine and super user does as well. So I know i'm rooted correctly.
Now I download TWRP from the market place and set up a recovery, I pick "twrp 2.8.6.0 zeroflte" and go through the steps. Again no problem, says it is set up correctly would you like to go into recovery mode. I say yes and then I get stuck in a boot loop forever, I can't do anything but go into download mode and redo my stock rom which I don't want. My end wish is to get http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ent/rom-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-t3088032 that on my phone as I'd love to bypass selinux which I can't on a stock rom.
I should note I also tried installing TWRP through odin and that boot loopd my phone as well. Am I missing something here? Wrong step? wrong app? wrong something?

[Q] Odin3: checkboxes are disabled

Hi there,
I got a brand new Galaxy Note 10.1 this weekend and tried to get my hands dirty on rooting it just yesterday. So I got Odin3, CWM and SuperSU, installed Samsung Kies and thought I were good to go. Unfortunately, after doing what some guides tell me to do, I'm still on official device status.
Before I go into detail: I had to manually edit the Odin3 INI file to force the device NOT to auto reboot after flashing the CWM - the checkboxes in Odin3 were disabled and greyed out. Can someone explain why and if that might be the cause of my problems?

Thanks, but that didn't help either. Auto-Rebooting brings me back to stock, device state official. I tried to install CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip manually via CWM, but a reboot later it's still "official" and apps that need root access either run forever ("checking...") or freeze the tablet. But since this is getting off topic, I might be better off asking in other threads.
Thanks anyway!

Then you are not understanding instructions .
What is your intention .
Root or flash a stock rom .
Root via either method i posted .
Stock rom direct flash tar file via Odin.
ODIN flash is a tar not a zip.
Custom rom via a rooted phone with recovery zip file from ext sd card or sd card .
jje
Come on, the instructions are pretty clear boot in Odin Mode, click a button in Odin, let it restart, finished. The SuperSU zip file is from another guide, where the tar-file didn't include it. So I tried to manually install it via CWM (I think it was 6.0.2.7 or 8), but that didn't work either. Whenever the device reboots, Root Checker Basic runs for a few minutes and says "Sorry, the device does not have proper root access". If it helps, I used this guide:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...ly-root-fuer-anfaenger-n8000-n8010-n8020.html
Even though it's in german, the screenshots are pretty obvious.
Sorry never ever seen any method with those sort of instructions.Personally not a clue what they mean .
I have used two methods as posted to root note 4 or 5 times. Rooted standard Samsung phones with cwm and root hundreds of times without any of those instructions.
Even run one standard cwm root via Odin to allow a specific rom install followed by a reroot using TWRP this afternoon .

Thanks to Darkman, I finally got it. The problem was the current firmware update from Samsung. I reflashed with the version from January, followed his tutorial (like I did before - wow, after doing this 3-4 times, it certainly becomes second nature), and BAM, the device is rooted. Thanks anyway JJegan

[Q] Please Help With Boot Loop after Updating/Rooting/Unlocking

So here is my problem. I was rooted on JB,and getting propmts to update to KK. After some research I found out that is it now rootable/unlockable, so I downloaded the .183 update and used RSD Lite to get on the update. That went well. Used towelroot and motoapocalypse to get rooted and unlocked. Also went well. Used Flashify to install TWRP. Well again. Heres where things fell apart. I booted into recovery to backup my stock ROM. After I did that I moved the backup to my SD card like an idiot not knowing it couldn't be restored from there. So I downloaded Validus 5.2 and Gapps. When I flashed them I was stuck in a boot loop on start up. Power down and tried again, still looping. Fastbooted to Recovery to restore my backup, but it was not there cuz it was only reading from internal storage (oops). So I was screwed. Then I read that CM had updated the modem or something and that you had to update stuff to use it. Still not sure about all that, but anyway. I thought maybe that was the problem, so I downloaded an older version of CarbonROM from June that was before the CM changes thinking I would be good now, but when I flashed it the same thing happened. Boot loop. So I went back into fastboot and flashed the RSD Lite stuff again. Rooted with towelroot. Unlocked with motoapocalypse. Verified status code 3 in fastboot. Verified root with Root Checker. Installed Flashify, but I haven't installed a recovery yet. Was TWRP my problem? Why am I boot looping on custom ROMs? Can someone help me out, or point out something Ive missed here?

You have to ensure the ROM you are using is built for the KK kernel. Not all ROMs work with the KK kernel.
Here is a list of ROMs that work with KK:

How to install recovery in LG G2 D80020y

Hello friends consultation
What is the best way to install the recovery on LG G2 D80020y ...?
If it's any thing and I have root access
Thanks and regards
Stump root, use brute force if the auto doesn't work. Then use autorec which will install the latest TWRP recovery for you.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2869410
thanks, just did this, needed brute force, it all worked for me.

Thanks men:good: work for me everything perfectly, I have put my G2 CM12
:laugh:
I followed this method and rooted my LG G2 D800 on the Y update, installed this Autorec, it had option to reboot into recovery or to exit.
Do we need to use this tool every time to enter recovery to flash a ROM as I chose reboot and did not see any advanced options present and nothing under developer, have not checked SU yet, if it is there, will come back and clarify the next step, as simply installing Autorec does not give me the option to reboot into recovery using the phone's main power button.
I was able to enter recovery, this Autorec installed 2.7.0.0 according to the splash screen, and the AT&T D800 is not on their list.
The TWRP manager says it is not installed, so tried CWM manager and installed CWM, it said some 5.x version installed when latest is the 6.0.4.4, downloaded an img, but been a while since pushed those onto a device and lost the knowledge..
It was within the CWM app that had option to reboot into recovery after it thought it installed properly, the TWRP was very basic and I lucked out not bricking my device using it in my opinion. I didn't see much info on flashing to CM12 and used same method as before, I see others flashing 2 times and adding kernels, some say to add SU, some say to not, a guide would rock.

The D800....y stock image does not have the option to reboot into recovery, since there wasn't a custom recovery to boot into until you installed twrp. Even still, no option unless you install a custom ROM or useYou should use TWRP anyway, better support for it on the D80x series and it has more features.

Stuck on Samsung logo screen after flashing bootloader!

Hey guys,
I was previously on xtresolite 2.4 lollipop rom and saw that he had a new rom out based on Marshmellow 6.01.
The instructions for the installation the new rom said to flash the new bootloader, modem and recovery before installing the new rom.
I flashed the bootloader with Odin using the BL button as instructed and how it's stuck on the Samsung Screen. I can still boot into download mode, but that's about it. It won't let me boot into recovery. Doing a bit of research it says to boot into download warning screen and cancel. Then quickly do the recovery buttons (volup, home, power), but it still won't go in.
So now I'm stuck! i'm trying to download the new stock Marshmellow firmware to see if I can install that, but aside from that I'm not sure what else I can do.
Any suggestions? Since I'm still able to use Odin, can I try to re-install the correct bootloader or is that too late? I'm not even sure which bootloader to install now. :crying::crying::crying:
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
kc
as long as you can boot into the download mode, everything's alright. try flashing the latest stock rom for your model. then a new recovery, and then the new xtrestolite rom.
if something fails. do it again.... flash the latest stock rom, and so on.
Just make sure you have the correct model software for your phone and there won't be any issues. Did you backup your imei way back when you rooted on lollipop? If you did then everything will be fine if you didn't, Restore stock ROM and root, then backup your imei, hopefully you won't have any issues with your modem
Try pressing on power + vol down untill the phone shuts down then quickly press home+power+vol up before the phone starts . you will be in recovery try a factory reset then wait for the first boot. Voila !
hey all, just wanted to update. I still couldn't get into recovery, but was able to flash the stock rom and it's working as stock right now. Been using it for the past week or so and no major issues noted. I'm a bit scared to mess around again
Now that I'm on stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 rom, do I still need to try and flash the modem and boot loader for it?
Also, now that i'm on stock do I need to unroot again to install the twrp recovery? or can I just go into odin and flash it right away?
Thanks again for the help and suggestions!!!

Stock rom overrides everything so your root is long gone & you now have the latest bootloader & modem already - don't stress & no need to do anything else! If you want custom recovery simply flash with latest TWRP using Odin in download mode (in tar format using AP button). Don't root with TWRP if asked to - instead download latest recovery flash-able SuperSU (ZIP) onto your device & then flash it using TWRP. This will be the safest option for you (with root if you want).
AFAIK one always uses the "AP" button if you wanna flash <anything> with Odin - not the BL button (I've never used this). The rest are for pro's only (of which I'm not one). I'm simply a regular rom flasher & read/study/compare several guides before attempting anything I've never done before with my device. If the overall feeling is not a good one, rule of thumb is I don't proceed until I feel confident enough about what I'm attempting to do.
Good luck.
On my sm-G920I
I flashed the xtresolite ROM without first flashing the bootloader and modem and it worked fine for me, if you back up everything with an otg cable onto a USB then flash the ROM everything should work fine but you will have to wait around 5 minutes for it to boot. If your still waiting after 10-20 minutes then you did something wrong and you can just wipe your entire phone then recover everything from your backup on your USB ????????
