Galaxy S6 Unable to boot into TWRP recovery

..

you asked the same question I was going to ask....hopefully someone replies to you, I'll keep asking around the interwebs for a solution I already asked Max Lee and still no reply. I'm rooted too (cf auto root) but i want twrp just in case.

I'm trying for 2 days for my 920i and I ha e twrp now I flashed 920f and boot fine!

I'm using G920I Australia version.
I can successfully root using CF-Auto-Root.
But I can not get into TWRP recovery after I flashed that (tried both versions of the recovery) using odin. It stops at the first screen (samsung logo). I tried using adb commond reboot recovery and the hardware key (volum up+power+home), both of them do not let me in to the custom recovery.
I had tried enabled knox before flash TWRP, which made it into boot loop. And then recoveried using the official firmware. Now I can only get into the official recovery.
Any suggestions for how to get into the TWRP?
BTW, how to backup the pit file using adb? On previous models it was mmcblk0, but Galaxy S6 seems to have changed the memory map to sda1, sda2, etc.

I got the 920i Aus version too. I was told two different things.
Update firmware to AOD1 and flash TWRP and it should work.
-or-
Use the 920t as jah2110 says. I would find the file from somewhere more 'reputable'.
Downloading a AOD1 firmware now from sammobile which is awful slow. First one I tried to flash gave me fail in odin so im trying a different one.

Stuck at the Samsung logo after trying to flash the recovery via twrp app, now it doesn't even boot normally. so if you want to install twrp don't use the app, G920I telstra version

Just flash an AOD1 firmware or more. The new zealand firmware for instance and then twrp is gonna work.
If you are stuck after flashing twrp on the australian firmware just flash root using odin and you will be able to start your device again

really? i didn't know that, anyway, if you want to update/reinstall the stock firmware, sammobile is so bloody slow, i deem it unusable, so i found this gem, much faster than sammobile, i downloaded at 1.3MB/s so it takes just over 20 minutes for the whole firmware. http://galaxys6root.highonandroid.com/galaxy-s6-stock-firmware/ give it a try if sammobile just pisses you off.

Yes it took me a few days to figure it out and everyone kept saying that twrp should work ...but thats just a matter of firmware version.

So is there a fix? I can get root but TWRP just sites and the boot screen.

I've been in the same situation using a Aussie Voda 920i, I was able to root using CF auto root but then had deep sleep issue & couldn't install TWRP. Now i've installed the singapore firmware & also got TWRP running but cant root.
If I use ODIN to root its gets stuck on logo screen & If I use TWRP it appears to go OK but just doesn't work. Also although CPU Spy says I am getting deep sleep battery life seems awfull

Twrp gave me the boot screen for infinite as well. I live in Alaska. I had to reflash root file to boot. Never got twrp to work. I tried to flash via app. I don't even want more possible headache flashing it with Odin.

Surely if you've got root you can install twrp from the app store and let it replace the recovery.

Same issue
I had exactly the same issue, flashed TWRP from a reliable source and my phone bricked at start up logo screen, could only get into download mode, once i did that i reflashed with ODIN and autoroot file and phone came back alive. Thank god.

Tried to install TWRP from official APP, said it installed recovery successfully would you like to attempt reboot and get into recovery, got stuck again at boot screen LOLLLL awesome...... piece of ****ware.

Same for me G920F. I tried twice both failed.
First time use this thread The phone was successfully rooteded. I installed "TWRP Manager.apk". It cause phone infinitely reboot.
Then I restore the stock ROM (you won't know how painful to download the 1.5G+ ROM).
Second time, I rooted again. And tried use freshily (?) to manually install an img in sdcard. It said success and reboot. But it stayed in boot logo.
I restore the stock ROM again (but the kies3 needs to download ROM again!).
I will not try a third time unless there is an right answer.

btw, the first one say 'oem unlock' must be checked. But I do not have this option, maybe because my phone is unlocked already (not binded to any one).

This only happens when you fail to force the reboot into recovery yourself.
If you let the phone reboot automatically after flashing, it will be stuck @ bootloop; so you have to be faster & hold the vol up+home+power buttons *immediately* when Odin finishes the process.
Don't bother removing the cable or waiting for the screen to change, that will be too slow.

Tab keeps shutting down / Can't flash custom recovery

Hello, guys, how are you all?
I'm having some trouble with my Galaxy Tab 2 (P3100), and I was hoping you could help.
Here's the thing, the Tab shuts down minutes after I boot it. So I tried to factory reset the tab, using its stock recovery.
The thing is, although it says the wipe was successful, nothing happens, nothing changes.
Alright, next I tried flashing a custom recovery - CWM - with Odin on Windows. Again, it says the flash was successful, but when I try to boot in recovery mode, it's the stock recovery that loads! Absolutely no sign of CWM whatsoever. Using Heimdall on linux got me the exactly same result, and I'm out of norse gods...
Finally, flashing the stock rom for the P3100 using Odin always fails. I'm not sure why.
So sorry for the long post. Can anyone help me?

Unmark 'Autoreboot' option in Odin. Then reboot it manually into recovery...

Bricked Alcatel Idol 3 4.7 6039S

Hi, I came here because I've tried to fix my phone but no hope. My situation si that I'm on a Loop in the booting process where the phone starts the booting process but crashes maybe on the bootloader. My system can see the Port COM 4 and I tried the Mobile upgrade program but after it detects the phone and I click "Update" button the phone goes into the loop maybe trying to get into Fastboot. Lastly, the download fails.
I have never hacked or made any modifications on an Android phone before so I'm a complete noob to this ADB tools and don't have a clue on how to use any tool to recover this phone.
I'm able to boot into "Download mode" and nothing else, maybe there's a combination for getting into the bootloader but I don't see anything about that in the many searches.
Any help is much appreciated.

you device is bricked and you try root install a custom rom or a bad upgrade

First boot into recovery and wipe cache and data.
If that fails try again. It fails again use the below method to restore your phone.
Go into download mode and using the ABD install your stock rom., Meaning your phones original version.
Your phones not bricked.

Stuck on Boot screen after flashing TWRP

Hello,
I just flashed the latest ROM for the S8+ (AQL5) and that went well.
Afterwards I tried to flash TWRP, but now the phone is stuck on the Samsung screen.
I then followed the guide I found here to use the BL file of AQF7 in Odin and spam the Start button so I managed to get into TWRP.
Question is, what do I do next? I restart the system it's the same problem all over again.
No one explains anywhere what to do in TWRP to save the phone.
Can I remove TWRP or somehow save the phone (without wiping my data)
Please help

Can you get to download mode? Then go to ODIN and redo your flashing of the OS and then TWRP. After the flash of TWRP, immediately boot into TWRP, and do Verity if you want that, and your root, if not already done. Clear Dalvik/cache and reboot to system.
It is not uncommon for folks, following TWRP flash, to get stuck in boot loop, unfortunately. Can take a little time, but you will get through it and finally to System.

But I thought all new firmware versions are incompatible with TWRP and cause this error.
I might try to install TWRP again if I flash the latest compatible version (I think it's the F7 one).
Does "Verify" in TWRP make that annoying "Your phone is not verified" message go away? The only option is to Reset phone when that thing comes up and I don't want to do that.
I managed to get out of that by reflashing the AQL5 version and just not installing TWPR.
Kind of scared to retry because everything goes wrong when I try to follow the guides on here or youtube

When flashing stock rom with Odin, rebooting is stuck at boot logo

Hello, some days ago i found a Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (SM-G310HN/heatnfc3g) and i decided to mod it, i installed TWRP via Odin and all was ok, but when i tried to install CyanogenMod 12.1 it didn't work. Since it didn't work, i decided to flash stock ROM. It worked once, but now it doesn't work anymore. I suspect it's the PIT file, because when i reflashed stock ROM another time with a PIT file now it doesn't work anymore, let me try to explain:
When i try to flash anything (Stock ROM or recovery, custom or stock), it... doesn't, Odin says it flashed but when i reboot to recovery or reboot to stock, it stays at the Samsung logo or doesn't flash the recovery, even if it says that it flashed. What should i do? Is my phone bricked? How can i unbrick it if it's bricked?

Have you tried booting into stock recovery and selecting the factory reset option and the wipe cache partition option? It is sometimes necessary after flashing via Odin, I've had to do it a few times to solve a bootloop.

Well the problem is... i cant reboot into stock recovery. Its stuck in twrp, and it's not really a "bootloop", it stays stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik on Twrp but nothing.
I cant even flash the stock recovery since as i said in the original post, if i try to flash EVERYTHING Odin says it flashed but on the phone nothing happened.
