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.

I installed this rom CyanogenMOd 10.1 Jelly Beam of Ace Plus s7500L everything worked out over time to reset the phone back to the recovery mode and does not start the phone only opens in the recovery mode screen, not the boot. someone help me?
Sounds like a recovery boot loop.Try to flash the recovery again through odin.
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.
I flashed TWRP on my tecno W3 using sp flash tool, after it went successfully, i powered my phone into recovery mode with the right combination of keys. But it wont boot into anything, but when i power it into normal mode, it goes successfully..and then i switch off and boot into recovery mode with the same combination of keys i used after flashing, it end up into stock recovery. It's like my phone is locked from booting into custom recoveries(even after unlocking the bootloader), and then it overwrites the custom recovery with stock after booting into normal mode. Is there any way i can get my phone to accept custom recoveries, and i have no root thats why im trying to flash a custom recovery first.
Also: I tried to use adb to boot into fastboot mode and boot into the same custom recovery i have by the command: fastboot boot <filename.img here>..but i didnt boot into anything, it just boot normally like i restarted my phone. I even tried to flash the img file in fastboot mode and then boot up with the fastboot command mentioned above, but it just boots into normal mode.

Did you install SU/Magisk after you flashed TWRP?This can usually prevent this issue.

No, just TWRP. It flashed successfully, but the phone won't boot to anything, and when i force it to boot into recovery mode after flashing a custom recovery, it doesn't do anything, it just stucks in the Hi logo with a red exclamation mark...and i usually have to press the volume + and power button to get to the menu, but the menu for the custom recovery i just flashed fails to pop up. After that, i boot into normal, and it overwrites the custom with stock recovery again (can tell from when i boot into recovery again after booting into normal by bringing up stock recovery)..
I used the recovery i ported myself using calvik image kitchen tool.
My phone does it too. The TWRP asks me if it has to be reinstalled, if default recovery is taking its place. Flash SU or magisk in your recovery immediately after TWRP.
Hello guys.
Like the title says, I can't boot directly into recovery mode after flashing twrp. I know the combination for booting into recovery mode but it automatically forces it to boot normally. I have to power off my phone after it starts normally to boot into recovery mode. But the problem is that the twrp disappears after it starts normally after the flash because u have to get instantly into the recovery mode (I think.) so it doesn't reset.
Modelnumber: SM-A510F
It worked at first, but there was also a problem with the recovery system because it always showed "No Command". I didn't use the latest version of odin and twrp. I only followed a guide with download links for this model. The odin flash succeded btw. I hope for some help here.
Thanks.
Hello people!
I have a J400F phone model, I was working with android 9 rooted & working well, I updated to android 10 with a fresh install, the phone works well, and I wanted to use a custom recovery TWRP and root the phone, it stuck in boot loop, this is how I flashed:
- Used Odin with the latest stock firmware "J400FXXU6CTGO".
- restart the phone, and the bootloader is already unlocked "OEM Unlocked".
- Downloaded TWRP for J400F from halabtech, flashed it, then rebooted to recovery.
- In home screen, Wipe --> Format.
- With TWRP I flashed RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip then no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip
After this I tried booting to system but then It kept rebooting after reaching the samsung logo.
Any help is appreciated guys.
I managed to access the download mode by taking out the battery, put it back in the phone, connect it to USB in the computer, press vol down and home button and you should be able to enter the download mode to flash the stock ROM (still reading on the second part).
