Greetings and welcome to xda. Is this the twrp version you tried to install ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-twrp-2-8-7-0-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3219901
There are several different versions of your device and there are specific instructions for a particular variant all though it does sound like you have installed the wrong version of twrp from what you describe. Anyway if you create an account the experts in that thread will be able to guide you
Good Luck

Guys,
I am using Galaxy mini GT-S770. I wanted to root my phone and to flash a custom rom. I was able to root my phone and. I can't Install Cwm. I tried both the methods By zip and odin. While going to cwm screen its shows E;/Mount error. also many features of cwm does not work. when i look for soloutions i found out that to use custom rom. so how can we install a custom rom without cwm. or how to fix the error. Thank you

Hi,
I can't find any Samsung with model number s770. Are you sure about that model? If your device is a clone and not an actual Samsung device.... Using files made for a Samsung will likely destroy your device.
If it is a Galaxy mini, and you've made a mistake on the model number, here is where to ask for help,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mini/help
Again, don't ask there if it's a clone. You won't find help there, or any files of any kind that will work on your device.
Good luck!
Hey,ive searched high and low but to no avail and hopefully you geniuses wud be able to help me wich will greatly be appreciated, ive rooted my phone the hisense u971 its the 4gig version bought in south africa software version: w1002.6.05.01.za00 with kernel version 3.4.0 on android 4.3 so the phone is rooted with towelroot and confirmed with rootchecker, bt before i do anything further i wud like to backup my official rom before messing things up as ive read and seen how hard it is to get hold of an official rom for these phones. Ive installed cwm rom manager bt whenn i select backup rom the phone reboots into recovery with a few options namely reboot, wipe and something about adb and install from sd bt no rom backup option so if anyone can point me into the right direction as to how i can backup my room i would appreciate it. Thanx
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
It seems to me that you don't really have a custom recovery. You should have more options with CWM or TWRP.
Try asking in the forum below to get further help:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Thanx for your reply ill hv a look at the forum u suggested since the cwm i have installed has a TWRP option
My Samsung Galaxy S6 running Lollipop 5.1.1 is stuck in a boot loop after I installed Clockwork whilst I had TWRP installed. I can't access either recovery mode. I can only access download mode but for some reason, Odin keeps crashing when I try to install the Stock ROM file. Hoping there's a better way. Thanks in advance.
Hi, and thanks for using XDA Assist.
First thing first. It wasn't a mistake. That is how you install a new custom recovery over the old. Flashing a new one overwrites the old one.
I am going to have this thread moved to the S6 Q&A forum, where there will be experts with the S6 that can help you further.
Good luck!
As Odin fixed your issue, this thread is closed.
If you have further questions, you can post them in the help section for your device

Kudos on fixing your issue and welcome to XDA

ok, Thanks for the replay. To be specific I need a custom rom for my samsung (SM-G920R4) because I need to flush using Twrp 2.8.7.0 but I could not find a custom rom for my specific rom. What happened was my I just bought my phone from a dude who I met on sell and buy viber group here in Ethiopia (big mistake I know) and it worked fine for a day or so and then I logged my google account. After that my phone run out of battery so I plugged it and turn my phone on and when I did this I got frp locked it just bootloops showing me "custom binary blocked by frp lock". I took it to some phone fix guy and he managed to turn the frp lock off but it need to be flush he and also I tried to flush it using stock firmware with odin but that didn't work so I saw on xda thread that some guy was able to fix the same issue as me by using custom rom here is the link to that thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-sw-rev-check-fail-device-3-binary-2-t3218678
But, I could not find a custom rom for my samsung model number SM-G920R4 us cellular, So I am begging this community of developers to save my phone if they have a custom rom for my model number? I am student and I can't offered to buy a new phone. Please help. Thanks for taking the time and reading this.
No problem. This should be perfect for a development member to pick up and assist.

bump. I mean, help? Same issue.
If the issue is you need a custom rom for that variant the op has then unfortunately you're out of luck, no one develops for that variant sadly.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Phone Boot Issue
Hi,
I'm new to XDA developers and pretty much a noob in Android related stuff, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 with TWRP installed. Last week it went into a bootloop or something and wouldn't go past the "Samsung" screen. I wiped the caches but it didn't work, did a Factory reset but no good either, then used ODIN to install a Custom ROM in it but ODIN gave errors and that didn't work either. Basically, there was an error displayed in TWRP "No OS Installed. Are you sure you want to reboot?" I tried solving this following a Youtube tutorial. The guy flashed a Cyanogenmod in his phone using TWRP, I tried doing the same but TWRP gave an error " could not find meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary in the ZIP file" . I extracted that file on my PC and it had only an md5 file in it"
Well I've been searching the internet a lot but haven't been able to find any S6 (920-F) Custom ROM which has a ZIP file that contains The META-INF folder (I'm not sure what it does) but I'll be really grateful if someone sends me a download link for it.
Or if there's some other solution for a problem then please help me out.
Thanks
Hi, smart XDA Developers,
I just installed root about 2 months ago to my tab, and installed cwm with rom manager. However, I installed the wrong version of cwm and it never booted again. I thought my tab was in hard-brick mode. I searched Google, Naver, and even Baidu for informations of mbn or hex file of my tab. I tried to install the David's rom 5.1.1, but I failed at installing the cwm. Is there anyway to fix my problem? I have the original 4.4.2 P605K rom in my computer. Sorry for my poor English, and written from my iPhone in PM 8:41, December 2nd.
P.s. I'm quite busy. If you have time, send me the solution with email ([email protected]) or comments if you want.
Thank you.

Greetings and welcome to assist. If you install the original stock firmware through odin you can then re root and flash the correct recovery. Can you still get download mode and does your pc recognise your tablet ?
You can use updato here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/updato-largest-online-firmware-archive-t3413785
to obtain the correct rom for your tab
Good Luck

THAnks for your support, but my tab can't get in to download mode or anything. My computer recognizes my tab as QHSUSB_BULK , and I can't see anything but the black screen when I press the power button.

If your pc recognises the phone that is something but not being able to get into download mode is worrying. There are only 3 things I can suggest
Mskips toolkit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...olkit-unified-android-toolkit-galaxy-t2998214
or if you still have root then you maybe able to flash twrp through flashify from thr playstore or you can try flashing stock rom for your device through mobile odin
If none of these work then try asking your question here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/help
and hopefully the experts can help
Good Luck
