I've recently tried switching from SuperSU to Magisk for the SafetyNet.
In the process I've made the TWRP inaccessible through normal means (Vol Up + Power). Only when I tried to update the OS using normal way (in hope the developer options will start working again) the system booted into TWRP after the download. Then I flashed the Magisk and I had root again.
Now I do have root but I don't have TWRP that I can access and I can't get into developer options to enable USB debugging.
I've trying booting into recovery using Quick Reboot Pro but no luck. It's stuck on "Your device is booting...", I left it like that for 10 minutes or so until I gave up on this.
I've tried accessing developer options through safe mode. Still no luck there.
I've tried flashing two different versions of TWRP using the official app but something is still wrong. I can't access it though I suspect it is installed.
Please help.

My understanding of the below thread is that I'd be rooting my phone with a pretty close to stock rom. My phone is currently not rooted.
In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-t3060130/post59578778?nocache=1#post59578778
step #6 I have no advanced wipe option, nor do I have the install option. What did I do wrong? I'd like to root my phone using his close to stock rom from the link above. I figured I needed another recovery mode instead of the stock one, so I downloaded odin, and then TWRP. I went into download mode, and supposedly installed TWRP. However when I hold power + up + home it goes into the stock recovery mode....what gives?
My recovery mode looks like this:
Android system recovery
LRX22C.N910PVPU1BOB7
Volume up/down to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
enable cp logging
disable cp logging
Your help is most appreciated...
Anyone? I just wiped out my data (backed up of course) but basically have no phone to use until I continue with rooting. However..I am unable to install "Stock_Rooted_NoKnox_N910PSPT1BOB7_DEODEXED" because I can't perform the suggested advanced wipe, nor do I have the install option when booting into recovery mode...when trying to install from SD (which is where I placed the "Stock_Rooted_NoKnox_N910PSPT1BOB7_DEODEXED" I got an error stating something to the affect that it was not a genuine or valid image (don't recall the exact error message). So basically the phone ended up doing a factory reset, and I'm back at square one again. To validate that it is back to stock, I tried to install chainfire's SU, and no sticky bit could be found Also knox has not been tripped yet because its still 0x0. I've rooted in the past on previous phones, so I'm not sure why I'm missing the recovery options I need.

Hi,
Looks like you're using Stock Recovery. Get a copy of TWRP (it should be trltespr and must be in .tar format) But before doing it so, root your device first using CF Auto Root. You need Samsung USB Drivers, and Debugging mode to be enabled on Developer Options.
Samsung USB Drivers -> Technical Documentation | SAMSUNG Developers
CF Auto Root -> CF-Root Download <- for Android 4.4.4 KitKat only!
TWRP -> Download TWRP for trltespr <- be sure to download .tar file to be flashed in ODIN.
First of all, is to enable Debugging mode. Go to Settings -> About device and tap 7 times on Build number. After doing it, go to Developer options and tick USB debugging.
Extract USB drivers and install it.
Extract Auto Root.
Reboot your phone to Download mode using combination of Power+Home+Volume(-) button.
Open ODIN and choose Auto Root file (.tar.md5 format) in AP.
Hit Start button and wait until device reboot to Recovery mode and installing root files.
After device rebooted, you should see SuperSU app. If you see it, your phone is now rooted.
Reboot your phone back to Download mode. Open ODIN once again and choose the TWRP file (.tar format) in AP.
Hit Start button. After finished reboot to Recovery and TWRP should be installed.
Note:
Doing it so will void your warranty (as KNOX Warranty Void will set to 0x1).
Hope this helps.
Thanks...this did help...and I thought I clicked save a long time ago but I guess I didn't. TWRP in place, and root was successful. Now hopefully Xposed framework will catch up to lollipop so I can run X-Privacy again.

There is an unofficial Xposed for Samsung TouchWiz Lollipop. You can grab it one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3113463
I have a huge problem. After having a lot of issues rooting my device, I downgraded to COS11s and was finally able to root and install TWRP.
After that I tried to install Sultan's latest build, which failed. I then installed the latest CM12.1 Nightly (which is what he recommends if the installtion failes) and right after that his build, which worked - finally. I installed Gapps and rebooted.
I noticed I hadn't installed supersu and wanted to reboot to recovery to do so - but now it just won't boot into recovery! My phone turns on and boots straight to the lockscreen. I tried the button combination, the advanced reboot menu - everything. It just won't boot into recovery. I even reinstalled the recovery via fastboot (which supposedily was successful), but the problem remains.
Flashify doesn't even show an installed recovery!
HELP!

Tried using adb yet? If you haven't, give it a try. If you don't have it set up, you can find several threads on how to do it, from full installs to small zip files. Considering you have fastboot working I assume abd also. Make sure USB debugging is on, plug your phone up and allow USB debugging when the prompt is displayed on your phone. Then adb reboot recovery.
Not familiar with what build you are on, some require you to enable root access mode from developer options, might check that also.

Thanks for you answer. I have adb set up. USB debugging is on. I will try adb reboot recovery. The weird thing is, it doesn't even boot into stock recovery (My first thought was that the phone replaced twrp with CM recovery somehow).
That's a good point, I will turn on root access and try again.

Another option, if nothing else seems to work is start over. I generally use nexus devices and flash factory images, looks like you can do that also on the one..
Hello,
I have the same problem. I unlocked my OPO, flashed the TWRP 2.8.7.0 and everything went good and smooth. Then I flashed CM12.1 and it worked. Now I wanted to downgrade TWRP to the TWRP 2.8.6.0 because of some issues with the latest version and after flashing the older version it will not boot to recovery at all...
Please help.
Thank you
EDIT: SOLVED!!
Okay, so I managed to get it back working again.
How I proceded:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 and do everything that is said in the 3rd point of the first OP post. (+download the file for your OPO - either for 16GB or 64GB model - after you have it downloaded unpack it)
2. flash all the files listed in the 3rd point of the first OP post
3. boot in the OS, enable developer settings and enable USB debugging and allow it
4. get back in the fastboot mode and flash either TWRP 2.8.6.1 or later versions (because of Lollipop compatibility)
5. enjoy!
God bless you.
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if I post this question in a wrong section but there is no thread for my device on xda.
It seems like I ruined the recovery mode of my Android tablet. It's a HP Pro Slate 12 tablet with Android 5.1.1 on it. It's rooted. I wanted to install CWM Recovery to backup everything, but my device wasn't listed as a supported device. My friend told me I can install the LG G3 recovery instead because it's compatible. I installed that. Since then recovery mode completely disappeared. The device still boots in normal mode and works, but I cannot boot into recovery mode anymore. I really need it because the device boots normally but sometimes acting strange since I rooted it. I'd like to try unrooting it by going into recovery mode or doing a factory reset, but both options disappeared.
Here's what I've tried:
- I Googled this problem very thoroughly, but didn't find any help aside from "hold down 2 buttons to go into recovery mode" type of answers.
- I tried holding down volume up+power buttons while turning it on, but didn't work.
- Tried holding down volume down+power. Nope.
- Tried rebooting inside Android into recovery mode with Quick boot app. It rebooted my device but again it went into normal mode instead.
- Tried to reboot into recovery mode with ADP and FastBoot in Windows. ADB recognized my device (listed the serial number), Fastboot didn't recognize my device. So I tried to reboot into recovery with ADB. Same stuff happened. The device rebooted into normal mode.
- Tried to do a factory reset. DIDN'T work! Rebooted into normal mode once more. The factory reset hasn't deleted anything.
- I have the latest available update.zip from the official website for my device, but without recovery mode I cannot install it.
Any ideas? Did I really lose the possibility of recovery forever with a single click?

Hello did you find a solution to your problem ?
I've been searching and I have come empty.
I bought this pre owned S7 G935FD and I rooted,flashed twrp and Magisk. Was trying to make FlyGPs a system app and I succeeded but it still required me to toggle Mock locations at Developer Options. Toggling this is detected by PoGo and toggling it off makes FlyGPS useless.
That's how I ended up with developer options off.
I went on to delete the app manually from the system app and then decided to reboot just to see if it was gone.
I ended up with a brick throwing in dm-verity error. At this point I should have flashed the verity zip through twrp but instead I flashed stock rom giving away my precious twrp.
Now i have lost twrp and I have dm-verity error.
My request to you dear members is a solution. How do I remove FRP lock from recovery without booting because all methods i have include boot yet i can't boot because of verity?
Get Smart Switch on your PC, enter downloading mode on your phone (power + home + vol down) and install stock rom.
now i was looking for how to root my j2 prime because its what i use to login with my vpn then i use a proxy server on it to route all traffic connected to it while its in hotspot mode but it seems proxy servers have their limitations and so im forced to root so i can just hotspot the vpn directly with an app, but after searching i found 3 methods all using superSU which im not comfortable with anymore, all with many steps but in my experice since this phone has got nothing to lose i decided to experiment and boom it worked...

STEPS
1. BOOT PHONE IN DOWNLAOD MODE (power+vold-down+home)
2. FLASH TWRP in the AP OPTION in ODIN (untick auto reboot;very important) then after flash succeeds
3. Pull out battery and boot to recovery (power+vol-up+home)
4. FLASH MAGISK.zip from your SDCARD (Recovery wont be able to mount internal storage so make sure to put the MAGISK.zip in your SDCARD)
5. Reboot and Hello systemless root

I'm unable to start recovery mode. I pull out the battery and after pressing the keys the phone simply goes off. Also I'm unable to enter recovery mode anyway (after turning it off and not flashing anything). That's it, I can't enter stock recovery either.
I tried all button combinations and it just doesn't enter recovery mode.
Never mind, it was probably a faulty button. Pressing with force did the trick. I however employed a bit different path (or perhaps I wrote it down more detailed), which come out more noob like, I'll leave them here for anyone that might use them
Noob, baby steps to root the Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532M:
1. Enable developer mode and selected OEM unlocking and USB debug, dunno if it's needed but I did it because in all roots I have seen this is a must.
2. Put the Magisk zip onto a SD card (currently Magisk-v18.0) and put the SD card into the phone. Then I turned off the phone.
3. Turn on the phone into download mode (power+vold-down+home), connect the phone to the PC.
4. Open ODIN and FLASH TWRP file using the AP button (VERY IMPORTANT, uncheck the auto reboot in options, otherwise the recovery goes back to stock I think and the phone will boot into the regular OS, and you'll have to flash TWRP again), wait a few seconds to the flash to finish (odin says PASS! in green).
5. From this screen without touching anything reboot the phone into recovery mode (power+vol-up+home) (just in case press hard the vol+ key). If it boots the phone in regular mode, do steps 2 , 3 and 4 again.
6. FLASH MAGISK.zip from the microSD. When finished wipe Delvik/Cache.
7. Reboot the system. Open the Magisk app (you might have to wait a few seconds for it to appear among on the apps) then press yes when prompted to finish installation as many times (2 times I think). And done, you have your phone rooted.
PD: Magisk can be found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/
As for the TWRP file (twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-g532_5617b.tar), use the one in the link on the OP.

why am i getting an error? it says
"Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/Magisk-v17.1.zip' "
can i get some help here?
Good day!
Is disabling dm-verity and force encryption included in the process?
And also, everything works fine but how is that i cannot delete system apps manually? They're returning back after reboot.
Thanks.
Unable to detect the phone -win nor Lin
Hello guys
Something really extrange is happening.
My j2 prime -532G- can't be detected by Windows nor Linux.
The usb is working because it charges the phone, but I can't access the phone at all. I checked all the drivers in Win -google/adb and samsung- and in Linux libmtp/heimdall/etc.
I have tryed different usb -not the original one since i lost it-
Even when i start the download mode, nothing happens.
it there a way to root the phone without a PC? i have tryed also kingroot apk but it is useless.
Thanks

I can't seem to get this phone to go into recovery after flashing TWRP. It always goes into a normal reboot no matter how hard i press the button combination.
Any idea about how to make it reboot to recovery any other way
BTW I was aable to make it go to TWRP Once but forgot to insert the SD card that time and had to repeat the process again and haven't been able to see that TWRP screen agin

Did the phone trigger an Autoplay window (to ask you if you want "view files", "import media", etc.)
Did the phone appear in the file explorer (as a media player device?) with storage(s)?
