SM-G955F root attempt failed. - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello,
I'm trying to root my device.
I've installed the Samsung usb drivers.
The problem is that Odin gets stuck on "recovery.img" while trying to install twrp.
I even tried Heimdall but nothing works..
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello my friend. I had the same problem before. What you have to do in order to install TWRP is to press vol up + Bixby + power BEFORE to click on START and hold the buttons until Samsung screen shows up.
Then, you can flash and get root via recovery.

[Q] Android system recovery <3e> problem

Hello guys,
I just brought an Galaxy Note N800 from someone, got all the paper and it's totally new.
However I tried to follows guides here on XDA and outside to root and install a custom recovery to install custom roms.
Downloaded all files well, putted into SDcards without any problem.
However, anytime I try to get into recovery mode by Power + vol down.
It always get me to Android system recovery <3e>.
Tried factory reset via backup/reset on setting
Also tried wipe/data factory reset on Android system recovery <3e> when reboot
but still the same issue.
Any clue how to fix it? And I'm happy to being a part of this box now. The Spen is awesome.
Regards
It doesn't need fix Recovery 3E is the standard recovery system. If you want to flash from the SD card then you need to change the recovery to something else such as CWM.
If it was me, I would
1. Install CWM
2. Root it with CF Autoroot
3. Purchase Mobil Odin
4. Purchase Triangle Away

Press Power + Vol UP = Recovery
Press Power + Vol Down = download mode
Are you carrying out the sequence correctly .
Recovery does not import / work on Odin files .

the right way
power + home + vol up
By holding the "home button + vol -" keep holding until you see twrp
OR
Depending on the carrier you have sometimes the recovery mode the first time is the hard reset screen.
Before you do this back up your device
if you installing it right, hold the "home button + vol -" when you booting it up once you see it your manufacturer logo, let go of your home button then press it again, keep holding the vol -.
Now, you should now should see the hard reset screen, use the volume key to move and now press yes for everything and then twrp will boot up.
Disclaimer i don't have this device
I have a J500F version, found the solution.
Uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin, then do the "installing", after that unplug your device and just simply remove the battery, then replace it.
If you're done then Volume up + Home + Power button will get you into TWRP.

J7 Prime stuck at boot logo Recovery is not seandroid enforced w/ dead home button

As the title says, i know that the solution is to flash TWRP again to fix it, but there is no way to go into download mode, holding down POWER + Vol- only reboots it to the same position, home button dead, is there a way ADB shell on windows would reboot my phone at this logo screen ??
I got myself into this situation by trying to boot into recovery to flash exposed framework, since no home button, i tried using one of those root restart apps to get to recovery.
Thank you.
Any luck with this?

Same issue here! The os does not boot for me either anymore, twp freezes, can't restore because I can't get to the bootloader

Alright so to get to the bootloader, you have to plug in your phone into the charger/PC while holding the Vol Up + Vol Down.
Edit: If it does not show up on odin, install the samsung USB driver/android studio. It might help with that
