Uncheck auto reboot in Odin and try again. When you see the RES OK message in Odin, manually reboot directly into recovery using the button combo.

Easy fix... To boot into recovery you hold volume up, not volume down.
Recovery is different from Download mode.

Stupid me. While i waited for your reply loaded CWM_T31x_r4.tar thinking it would work. Now after pressing vol up i do get into recovery but possibly both are conflicting and cwm is not working properly. Do i need to reflash the stock fw or try philz again? Thanks.
UPDATE: reloaded philz, all seems good. Thanks for your help.

Can I just flash it over odin ?

Probably yes, if i could flash it over regular cwm and it worked. For some reason regular didn't work well for me when flashed over philz's but then flashed philz again and all is good.

Nothing better than official support. Working with known recognized developer make me so proud. Big thanks @Phil3759 :good:

I just had some times to play around with my tab again, and would like to try this one.
But I got some doubts, which file should I download ?
I click on the download home link, and found some file names.
I am using galaxy tab3 8.0 SM-T311, and please advice which one should I choose.
Thank you....

Ive got problems. I used flashify to flash the latest philz over twrp 2.6.0.0 and all seemed well.... as soon as i got philz up and running i ran a backup (as usual) by choosing "backup to sdcard" as i do on my phone with cwm. It backed up... completed successfully.... i rebooted... then for the fun of it I rebooted back to philz just to make sure i could access my new backup if need be and there was the cwm folder w/backup subfolder but no restore file. I then realized that what it has done is backed up each individual file/folder to my sdcard!!!! like im talking folders everywhere... Istead of 1 nice restore file all the individual elements of the backup are now on my sdcard directory as i dividual folders!!
has anyone else experienced this and what did i do wrong.?? .. now im looking for the twrp recovery.img so i can run my other backups i made with that and start fresh... anyone know where to get that?? all i can find is the tar file and my tablet wont let me open that to extract the recovery. img....
rrrrrr....

...
I was able to flash the twrp and restore my backup that way so im back at square one now. Just wondering how to backup to sdcard properly so that doesnt happen again....i would prefer to use philz...it backed to my ext sdcard properly...just not internal....

Recovery for T310 lt01 wifi.
Good recovery.
By Odin, reboot, alright. By recovery made a Backup Rom. Full wipe data + cache + dalvik. Made Restore Rom. Okay.
Some more tries all work well.
Power + Vol-Up --> Recovery (When appear Samsung logo, pull finger from Power and wait only pressing Vol-Up).
Power + Vol-Down --> Download mode.
(Not need Home button.)
Thank You @Phil3759

TWRP flashed, but still using android system recovery?

I'm trying to install TWRP on my Galaxy S6 (920F) running android 5.1.1
I've followed the steps (method 2): http://androiding.how/how-to-root-galaxy-s6-on-android-5-1-1-all-variants/
When I start up in recovery I see the android icon, after that I get a menu that looks very different than what TWRP should look like (saw some vids on youtube) and there is no option to flash the kernel..
The top says it's Android system recovery 3e, so I'm assuming the TWRP wasn't flashed..
I'm really confused, flashing my old galaxy s3 and rooting it was quite easy but Samsung really ****ed it up this time
Does anyone have a good tutorial for this? There is tons of tutorials but most of them are outdated, for the edge version or for some stupid branded US carrier phone.
Update: just tried this tutorial: http://galaxys6root.highonandroid.c...root-galaxy-s6-or-s6-edge-with-twrp-recovery/
Which resulted in a boot loop, so I did the CF auto root as suggested. Now my phone wont work at all. It's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S6 powered by android screen.
When pressing volume down and power button the phone turns off, but immediately turns on again and I get the same screen.

I have a rooted S6 with TWRP, and as far as I can remember, i think I rooted my phone with unikernel first on odin. After that I then flashed TWRP on Odin, and everything was sorted.
Have never flashed ROM from TWRP directly so wouldn't be too sure how to solve your exact problem

Samsung did not do anything, it's an user error
Flashing the kernel and TWRP takes 30 seconds on the 920F if you have the correct files.
Get TWRP from www.twrp.me and unikernel from XDA. Flash them both with ODIN, done.

Thanks for the reply's. Unfortenetly my phone is stuck on Samsung S6 powered by android screen..
Pressing volume down and power solves this, but the phone immediately reboots and I get the same screen again.

Hold volume down, home button and power button together, until you're into download mode (if it lets you do this)

I was stuck on the same screen as you are a couple of days ago. I'd first sort that out by flashing your stock rom from odin. Then after the phone is sorted, use Unikernel and TWRP through odin (Just make sure to download the correct ones).. (This is good if you're not worried about keeping any data, hard to backup if you can't get access to the phone)

Yup, as long as it is the correct ROM, also it HAS to be 5.1.1 otherwise it will result in an error while flashing, so just make sure of that
You don't necessarily need Samsung Kies as shown in the tutorial as most PC's will automatically install the device.
Good luck!

Hmm... if the ROM is alright, then it could maybe the version of Odin youre using? I used v3.10.6

I have no Operating System on Galaxy S6

HELLO!
I recently had issues with my Galaxy S6 after "unrooting it".
In short way as possible:
1. I have Rooted my S6
2. I have decided to unroot it
3. I have downloaded stock rom from Sammobile (correct one yes)
4. The flash failed leaving me with some errors.
5. I have flashed twrp recovery and it fixed the problem.
6. Today I have turned my phone off and it got stock in boot loop
7. I tried clearing cache. Didn't help.
8. I cleared internal storage (Factory reset) and my phone didn't turn on at all... I went into twrp again to find out that there is literally nothing on my phone apart from the TWRP recovery...
9. I have access to Download Mode/Recovery mode .
I have tried flashing stock firmware on the phone and it didn't work becuase Odin is giving me errors all the time. Please don't bother providing me solutions with Odin as I have tried literally everything, different usb ports, versions of Odin etc etc. didn't work.
Is there any way to fix this? Maybe Custom Rom CM13 ?

CM13 is not stable. Try to copy a custom rom that is stable and specific to your device via adb.
Else try Odin.
Maybe try from somebody else's pc with the latest version of ODIN. If required download the stock rom file from sammobile again; mayb some errors have crept in while downloading.
Trust me; ODIN is the best option.
Check whether your computer is up to date and whether usb drivers are properly installed. Try with ODIN with newly downloaded rom file

Don't use usb 3.0 ports on Your computer. They either won't work or mess up the data that odin sends to Your phone. And flash stock rom again.

Just flash a pit file..nothing else. Power off.. Go to recovery..wipe data.. factory reset and you are OK

if you want to do a clean install you have 2 solutions first with smart switch second you download wrong firmware and with wrong i mean no for wrong model of s6 but wrong number!!!your csc must have 3 not 2!!!for example i had this firmware on my phone G920FEUR3COI6 and i tried to flash this G920FEUR2COH2 and i got a bootloop because of this section EUR2!!!for sure download this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57680/G920FXXU3COI9_G920FBTU3COJ1_BTU/ and you are good to go!!!

Its more easy a fast just to flash pit and to factory reset or otherwise bootloop

Download and open Smart Switch on your PC
Then, connect phone at download mode to your PC
And, rescue the firmware via Smart Switch.

If you decide to flash a Pit file, you should be able to find the right one here.

Sorry, for not replying. I seemed to get it working after flashing my firmware, but I still got the error, so I went the same way as before and flashed twrp and it seemed to work, however when I turn my phone off and try to turn it back on then the bootloop happens and I have to go through the same process all the time which is kinda time consuming. I am just downloading this firmware that you have linked me and try to flash it hopefully with no errors :angel: and it will bring my knox back

[SM-G920F] Stuck on Samsung Logo Powerd by Android After Crash

Device: SM-G920F
ROM: NanoROM-5.6.0~beta2-20160916-920.5FD-PDP
Android-Version: 6.0.1
Based On TouchWiz
I dont know which information i should give to my device
Problem:
Hello im not so new i read a lot here and at this problem its the same.
I have the same problem as this guy but there is since a few months no updates and not so detailed device info
Last evening my phone crashed i used Chromecast-app/webcasterapp and chrome at this moment.
Ive got 2 new apps Chromecast-App and FireTV app.
So sinced it crashed i thought it just reboots but it was stuck since half an hour.
iv tried a Hard reboot and tried to reboot into Recovery but it just stucks on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powerd by Android" screen
i just can boot into Download / odin mode
What ive tried:
Flash over Odin3_v3.12.3:
TWRP 3.0.2.0 (No Errors)
G920FXXU2BOFJ_G920FOXA2BOFJ_XEF(4File)_ChoiMobile.VN (Not Matching Version Error)
BL-6.0.1-G920FXXU4DPHB (No Errors)
2016-09-19-6.0.1-PHN-G920FXXU4DPIL-4teilig (*4 Files; No errors )
Flashing Over Odin_v3.10.0 just stucks on Writing Nand
Flashing Orginal Over Smart Switch ends With no Errors
I don´t know which version is the right ;( i just know its an G920FXX but is there so much diffrent ?
If you need any more information please tell me

Update
I just noticed that i dont have a charging screen at all
Nobody got a clue or an Idea what i could try else ?

I would say this:
1. Reflash TWRP with ODIN.
2. Download stock rom from sammobile for your particular device.
3. Enter recovery, wipe and install the stock rom.
Had same issue as you, trial and error got me the solution
Do not try to flash rom in ODIN

Are you holding down the button combination long enough to get into recovery?

Usually if a phone is stuck at logo, in 90% of cases DRK is messed up, but it will only show in stock recovery.
If knox is triped, try flashing custom kernel e.g. CF autoroot, which will bypass the problem, or it can be fixed with a box.
If it is not, I don`t know how to fix it.
You can try emergency initialization via Smart Switch with sn of the phone and see what happens on stock fw. (you can check my threads, I made a guide for SS initialization)

as you can see at my first post i tried the initialization via smart switch and stock rom flashing
but i will try the custom kernel and CF autoroot when i find it on xda
could you explain me what DRK is and what you mean with "or it can be fixed with a box." what is a box?
Thanks anyway :good:

I think some people here with more technical expertise than me, can answer that question more precisely, or you can try google it, and box is a professional repair tool, like Octopus/Octoplus, Z3X, etc. mostly used by 3rd party repair shops.

so the last days i tried to flash many different versions of samsung stock: rom, kernel, bootloader; and i have tried to flash auto root and twrp custom rom
nothing helped =(
now i try octopus/plus samsung

Download kies - samsung firmware updater ( google for it ) and install the latest firmware, this in most of the cases rezolves any software related problem.
After that you can root again and install witch custom rom you want.

The last day´s i tried almost everything. Nothing helped =(
Now my last hope is the warrenty. If the bill is smaller as 100€ i will pay it otherwise i will buy the Nexus 5x
Thank you very much for each advice !

I would say this:
1. Reflash TWRP with ODIN.
2. Download stock rom from sammobile for your particular device.
3. Enter recovery, wipe and install the stock rom.
Had same issue as you, trial and error got me the solution
Do not try to flash rom in ODIN

Note 10.1 GT-n8010 stuck in bootloop, no recovery mode, unable to flash stock ROM

Hey there,
my Note 10.1 GT-n8010 bought in 2012 has been soft bricked for years but here I am giving it another try. Because of that, I have no memory of what software version was on the device, but I know it was rooted. The recovery mode is not working as the android logo with red triangle shows up, but I am able to go into download mode which says that: current binary and system status are both custom. I've tried flashing different stock ROMs from SAMMOBILE, starting with XEO (as it is my region) for 4.4.2 and 4.1.2 , but it didn't work. Every time I get sboot.bin FAIL in odin. I've also tried to install TWRP recovery and to root the device in order to unlock bootloader but then I get recovery.img fail in odin. So my main question is: what is causing sboot.bin to fail? I've read that flashing the most recent ROM usually makes this problem go away, but not in my case. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

sboot wrong firmware for model or and older bootloader.
You need a rom firmware with the same bootloader.
Bootloader has never been locked.

Could you point me in a direction of how to look for a correct ROM? On sammobile there are only two versions of ROMS for my region - 4.4.2 and 4.1.2 and none of them worked. Should I go through every possible region and hope for the best? How do I know that a ROM has the same bootloader? Since I can't turn on the device and find out the specifications of my system, is this just a guessing game? Thanks for taking the time to help me, by the way.

Was the Note purchased in your region ??
I would start with the oldest firmware any region a nd work through them.
Just make sure 16 or 32 gb is as your model.
Sammobile.
Updato.com.
Samsung-updates.
Are firmware sources.

I am also unable to revive my N8000, I can only go in download mode to flash.
Could you tell me when flashing a recovery with odin if the bootloader version matter ? I don't get that ? for me recovery are self loading no ?

No and no.
Suggest flash stock rom via Odin .

Sauces, my name is Caterina and I too have a problem with my Galaxy note 10.1 and looking for solutions on the internet I came to your forum. I hope you can help me. Let me explain: my tablet, while I was using it, froze without a reason and a few seconds later it restarted, remaining stuck on the word "samsung". You can't turn it off because if I press "power" it restarts. The only way to turn it off is to attach it to the charger. It does not go into recovery mode but only in odin mode. I tried to install a firmware download with SamFirm but it doesn't work. I tried with "dr. Phone" and nothing; with "reiboot for android" and nothing; I tried to install adb but if I type adb devices on the promt it doesn't find me the tablet despite the drivers are correctly installed (in fact odin if I connect in tablet via usb I recognize it). Usb debug is not active nor can I activate it since I cannot log in. The tablet is connected as an MTP. The twrp doesn't let me install it (I downloaded it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-t3895276/ page4) but I didn't even understand what to do exactly. I downloaded the * .tar.md5 file and changed the extension to * .tar but nothing; I inserted the * .tar file in "AP"; I downloaded the img iso file but I don't know where to put it. I'm desperate. Help me to solve. One last thing, it's not possible to download the firmware from sammobile because you need a premium account and it's not the I. If any of you can download it could you alleviate it? Thanks in advance.

Install TWRP 2.8 * from TWRP thread or twrp.me .
Or try Philz recovery from this forum .
<I tried to install a firmware download with SamFirm but it doesn't work.>
What does not work mean what errors in Odin ??
What firmware .

Hi and thanks for checking with me. I tried twrp 2.8.6.0 downloaded from twrp.me. I also tried previous versions for the GT-N8000 but to no avail. Clearly, since the models gt-n8010 and n8013 are not compatible with mine, is it possible to try the twrp for the p4notewifi or would I send the tablet in brik? Could you please send me the link to the recovery philiz please? However I also tried CF-auto-root and nothing. I state that I have never developed the root before and not so without root permissions I can share a non samsung firmware. Maybe that's why the recovery has been modified, not so. In any case, if there was a way to root now I would do it. I only care about saving the tablet and making it work.
This is after used twrp-2.8.6.0-gt-n8000.tar

However with the original firmware downloaded with both Samfirm and Samobile the error is sboot.ini fail. The versions of odin I tried are 3.13; 3.09 and 1.85.

Help me!!!!

Sboot fail is due to flashing a firmware that has older bootloader than the one on the tablet.
Flash later firmware.
Try latest firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Usual rule of thumb with Odin is try another USB cable and ports on your computer. Normally the ones off the back side of a laptop/computer are the best to use since they are right off the motherboard. Odin is 100% connection sensitive. Always has been.

Hi JJEgan, I tried them all but I just can't bypass the boot problem that prevents me from flashing firmware with odin. I wanted to try with the pit but since I know it could damage my tablet I wanted to know from you a site where to download a functional pit, suitable for my galaxy note gt-n8000. On the internet I found several but we know several versions: 4.04, 4.12 etc. and I don't know if it should match the pit version with the version of the rom I'm going to download. If I download the Italian Rom (since I am Italian) will I have to use an Italian pit or if the pit is of a given nationality, will the Rom also be of the same nationality? In odin, if I put the pit and pda, do I have to tick only the auto reboot and F. reset time boxes or even the re-partition box? Generally I know that the re-partition should never be selected but I read (but I'm not sure) that the inclusion of the pit involves selecting the distribution. Waiting for you to reply cordially.

No idea sorry PITs are model and 16 or 32 gb not countries .
I dont know about flashing PIT ,
But all questions have beeen answered already in the forum .
PIT is part of the firmware .

Mine is a 16GB model. I found several pits but I didn't understand how to use them and, since the procedure is risky, I wanted to be sure to flash the right one and to operate correctly. Don't you know how to address me to some page where they talk about it? But do you think my tablet is recoverable? Believe me, it seems to me that whatever I do is not successful. Yet I thought that in the case of soft bricks something could still be done but I'm starting to lose hope. In any case, thank you for your time and wish you a good day.

Don't you know how to address me to some page where they talk about it
No sorry apart from the forums SEARCH .
and see
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/help

Looks like Odin cannot write the recovery, this leads me to assume that this is a faulty MMC which seems to be a rather common issue. I don't think that this is a recoverable issue unless you solder a new MMC.
For the recovery part, try this:
1) turn on the tablet
2) wait for a reboot
3) immediately after the screen goes black, press and hold power only, you will see the logo come up and then vanish quicker than before
5) as soon as it vanishes, release power and immediately press and hold it again and also press and hold volume up at the same time
6) after the Samsung logo appears again, release the power key but not the volume up
I found this to sometimes help with a boot loop. If this does not work, you are probably out of luck. The Samsung logo disappearing basically tells you that the partition (either boot or recovery) could not be loaded into RAM for the kernel to be started. The BL2 then panics and restarts the device.
