Hello,
i flashed twrp with odin on my SM-G920F. Everthing worked, but when i tried to come in, first there's the android logo and it says: installing updates, and after that, i come into the stock recovery..
What did i wrong?
Disable the "Auto Reboot" section on Odin, then flash it.
When the flash operation is done, unplug the cable and reboot it to recovery with key combo.

I tried to install/flash TWRP to my tablet (SM-P900 wifi) using Odin, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried Odin v3.09 and v3.07. I have also tried to install TWRP v2.7.0.1 and then v2.7.0.0 for the hell of it. I get a "pass" from Odin and it says the install was a success, but when I enter recovery mode the stock android system recover initiates, not TWRP. I've followed multiple guides to the 'T' with no success. I've even tried to reinstall my USB drivers--though I haven't had any problems connecting my device to my PC. I'm not rooted (yet). I want to root, but I wanted to make a backup before rooting because I was under the impression that I could do that with TWRP. Do I have to root to use TWRP? Any help is appreciated. This is my first time messing around with roots and such. My goal is to root to clear some bloatware and mount an external HDD. Custom ROMS and themes may be in the future, but not now. Should I definitely do a backup before rooting or just root and go from there?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
This may be a silly question, but just to make sure, you are booting into recovery mode and not download mode right? Download mode is volumn down and recovery mode is volumn up.

Not a silly question for a noob haha. Yes, I installed in download mode.
Not sure if this will help but I noticed that when I installed TWRP with autoreboot turned on and I allowed the OS to boot up I lost TWRP. I reflashed with autoreboot unchecked in Odin and then forced the tablet into recovery manually after Odin was done. TWRP loaded up that time and I immediately did my nandroid backup of stock unrooted.

Thank you for your reply. I ended up re-installing the stock firmware/recovery and then flashed TWRP v2.7.0.2 with Odin v3.09. It did the auto reboot, got the pass, then I turned the device off. I tried to boot up in recovery but let go of the buttons too soon, so it booted into OS again (woops). Second time was a charm though, got it to boot into recovery and TWRP booted right up. Yay. I did try to install TWRP v2.7.0.2 before I re-installed the stock firmware, but still wouldn't boot TWRP.
Hi, this is not my first time flashing TWRP on this phone. And I have been successful so far.
Today I use Odin to flash TWRP, and it went through just fine (see screenshot), but when I enter the recovery mode, it says "Android system recovery <3e> LMY47X.G920FXXU2COH2 on top and I am very confused. I tried a few times and apparently I cannot enter TWRP while Odin kept telling me I have flashed it successfully...
Did you have "Auto-Reboot" ticked on Odin? On my Note 4 that used to mean the kernel would reflash the stock recovery upon booting. You need to untick this, turn the S6 off after flashing and then boot directly into recovery using power + home + vol up
Nope. On the S6 auto-reboot menas what it does. The phone gets rebooted after the flash is done.
To the OP: You used the correct file to flash? USed AP mode in ODIN?
I had same problem. I think you need to have rooted kernel through odin first. Idk, that us what i did.
Just so everyone knows how I solved this. I wiped everything and flash TWRP and it worked. I am not sure why, but that's how I got it to work.
Hey guys... i've been trying to put a custom rom on this old p5113.... i've tried flashing latest TWRP on it with odin which odin claims its successful, but when i reboot the device and try to go into recovery i get back the original samsung recovery.... it's almost like it overwrites recovery at boot... i've read number of guides on this but i seem to be following the same steps they're suggesting.... am i missing anything obvious? from my understanding it's a straight up odin flash on custom recovery and then just use that to wipe/format and install rom + gapps.
Any ideas?

how are you doing it exactly, do you unplug the usb cable just as you see its "passed" with green status? or let it reboot itself? or are you rebooting it yourself? usually it will reboot itself into the recovery after it is successful, sometimes it goes to the system directly, generally the idea is to get into the recovery mode as soon as you flash it through odin. you should not let it boot and go to system( means don't let it start your rom, no samsung logo instead go to recovery first by pressing your volume up with power button. (if it's not going directly into recovery)
Hey, so I'm pretty new to all of this and trying to root my Samsung Galaxy J7 (SM-J700T) running Android version 6.0.1 with the use of Odin, TWRP Recovery and SuperSU. I downloaded all the necessary files on my computer and am doing this with a fully charged phone. My phone has USB Debugging enabled and OEM unlocked. I try to flash the TWRP Recovery file through Odin to my phone while it's in download mode. According to Odin, it succeeded and my phone instantly restarts. It doesn't boot into TWRP or stock recovery; just restarts my device. If I power off and try to boot myself into recovery mode, it takes a few seconds, the screen will for maybe one second show an image of the green Android mascot with the caption 'No Command' and boot itself to my stock recovery instead of TWRP. According to Odin it was a success but I have no idea how to get TWRP recovery instead of my stock one. Any help on how to get there so I can root my device?

Open Odin and plug your phone in. Go to the settings tab and turn auto-reboot off. When you finish flashing the TWRP tar unplug your cable and pull the battery and boot into recovery.
Guys need some help with TWRP.
I am on stock XEF G920FOXA5EQG3 firmaware, instaled TWRP 3.1.1-0 via odin AP, all went fine it installed and phone rebooted normally to OS.
