NEWB Rom install questions Resurrection remix. - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have been trying for a while to install the Resurrection Remix Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-resurrection-remix-5-3-4-t3033255 on my SM-900P and am having problems
Android version 5.0
Currently what I have done that worked.
1.) CF-Root of my phone.
2.) backed up all files with titanium backup
3.)used odin to flash TWRP (KTsoonsez_TWRP_04-06-2015.tar.md5)
I am actually following instructions from the [MOAR] rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...om-v5-0-mod-control-floating-windows-t3016692
after I get a success from odin I try to Unplug & Reboot phone directly into Recovery Mode (press and hold Power + Volume Up buttons) but it simply boots the phone normally.
Idk what I am doing wrong and why I can't get into recovery mode.
Can someone give me some advice or help as to what I need to do?

Trying to flash OA6
So I am currently trying to flash OA6 to see if this will fix the problem.
Update: OA6 fails after a few seconds. not sure what the problem is.

I would try the stock TWRP or the Fusion recovery
http://fusion-rom.net/downloads/
Samsung --> Galaxy S5 --> Recovery
Stock twrp can be flashed through Odin while Fusion's can be flashed through your old recovery.
I can't remember clearly, but I think ktsoonsez doesn't work for LP AOSP roms...

We're you able to figure out how to get into your recovery? If not, on the SM-G900P, you must hold the "Volume Up + Home + Power". The procedure I use:
I press and hold the volume up, the home button and then the power button. I hold all 3 in that order and I watch the top left of the screen until it states "Recovery Booting". Then I let go of all 3 buttons. Hope this helps.

Dead phone after downgrade

Hi
I've tried a few custom ROM on my nexus. But today I was thinking to downgrade my phone to a Stock ROM, Stock-GRH55-Unsigned. So I downloaded the zip-file and upload it to the sdcard and then I run Clockworkmod -> install zip from sdcard and choose Stock-GRH55-Unsigned.zip.
The install of the Stock ROM looked fine so I rebooted my phone and after that is the phone dead .
When I press the on/off-button the phone vibrates and the home and search button lights up and after a while they go out and the two other buttons start to slowly blink.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve my problem or is my phone dead?

If you can get into the bootloader (volume up + power) then you can try and get into CWM (doubt it will still be intact). From CWM you can wipe and try flashing something else. If you can't get into CWM, you can reflash the recovery image from the bootloader using fastboot.
If you can't do any of the above, then start looking into Odin. I have no experience in Odin though, so can't help you there. Good luck!

[Q] Stuck and Can Only Boot Into TWRP

So I have TWRP on but it was mistakenly the T-Mobile version TWRP so the touch screen doesn't work and I can't hold down Vol Up+Home+Power to go to Odin. And if I hold Vol Dow+Home+Power and release right when it turns off, it just will boot back into recovery! Is there a way to reboot into download mode or anything on the main screen of TWRP? ADB? Anything?

So now I'm in recovery and I tested Fastboot and ADB to see if anything would work. I got ADB to work, BUT here's the catch. The device is "Offline." Check image below....
Did the same with TWRP... awhile back..But I knew it was for the T-Mobile.
I was checking to see if it work (SCREEN WAS NOT RESPONDING, STUCK IT WAS..ALL i DID WAS VOL+ MENU-B+PWR. AND I FLASH A COPY OF THE FIRMWARE I PICKED FROM SAMSUNG WEB SITE .BACK TO STOCK NO ISSUES)
CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t
WORKED FOR ME..
HOPE YOU FIND A SOLUTION.

Stuck in Boot Loop After Xposed Install - No recovery mode

I have a rooted and twrp installed samsung s6 from sprint.
I tried to install xposed through twrp and now it boot loops. I guess xposed has a boot loop issue on stock samsung roms.
I can enter download mode but I can't get into recovery because the phone will not power off! If I hold key combinations to power it off it just keeps restarting. Does anyone know a way i can enter recovery mode. I do know i can flash the stock firmware through odin but i dont want to lose all my files. Is there a way to disable xposed through odin/download mode, or through adb if the device is offline?
Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem two weeks ago, but I was able to get into recovery mode. I'd hold Volume Down + Power buttons to restart it, then quickly switch my fingers to Power Up and Home button to enter recovery. Try it that way, it could work.
Also, you should try to install this xposed. I am on a stock ROM as well and this one works for me!

Thanks for your help. I ended up accessing recovery by plugging in a usb and using the keys combo you suggested and am now running the xposed you linked to. Thanks a bunch!

Please help me with my s8+

So i got the oreo update installed via oding
i also flashed twrp and now im stuck in a bootloop
this used to happen on nougat as well but it would get fixed by flashing an earlier bootloader
that doesnt fix it any more
does anyone know how to fix it?
Go back to Odin. Get TWRP put into place in Odin and then be prepared to press pwr, vol up and Bixby. Press start on Odin, and then immediately press your keys to go into recovery. Odin will flash and then head to recovery/TWRP. It's pretty quick.
Sometimes it takes a bit of timing, but you should be able to get there.

J510F Stock recovery screen after TWRP install [Fixed]

I'm using ODIN to install TWRP but after the install I'm still being put into the stock recovery screen, I have Auto Restart disabled under ODIN and I access recovery mode with power + vol up + home buttons and letting the power button go as soon as I see the logo but still holding onto the vol up + home button. This is done immediately after the ODIN install. I have tried multiple times leaving the Downloading Mode using power + vol down and entering recovery mode as well as removing my battery after the TWRP install and booting directly into recovery mode but all of them give me the stock recovery.
Re-flash Stock ROM to get rid off of all mods you applied. Then try again.
I haven't installed anything other than TWRP and if I do a normal boot the phone acts as if nothing ever happened, but I will try with a stock ROM install as well and check if it changes anything
I managed to root it for anyone with the same issue, the tutorial I was following seemed to have a faulty TWRP, the links on the official site work, the magisk method didn't work for me so I used the supersu method which worked perfectly.
