Tried installing TWRP and now it's bricked - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/recovery-official-twrp-herolte-t3333770
I used the guide above, TWRP booted fine, then installed the SuperSU zip file and rebooted. That got me to a black "Verification failed" screen. I rebooted to TWRP and in the log I noticed that it couldn't mount /data. So I googled it and followed this guide:

Repairing data threw an error. I still went ahead and changed the partition to exFat and it said it was done but it kept loading and eventually threw an "e: recv error on uevent". So I rebooted TWRP and it didn't start at all anymore. It doesnt get past the first twrp screen, it doesnt get to the swipe right part.
Reinstalling TWRP didnt work. I've tried other older versions as well, same problem.

Install TWRP again, then any rom which is already rooted with magisk. Or install TWRP then a Rom and root after with magisk, also you don't have to install TWRP and root at the same time.
Ignore the "recv error" it means nothing, just a quirk of TWRP sometimes. Don't bother with Supersu, magisk works better.

try this TWRP: https://mega.nz/#!tMVCBYrB!Bcvd2tGuvvRfpCPdWvpGwy53f25Oe5qe_zCOSLX_-rA
or this: https://mega.nz/#!xEdWwYQZ!IdTYbSyUzDptG-ArdvDZt1_hKG5qBbwP3P-mkcJCelo

Can you still get into download mode? If so try a full odin flash of stock firmware.

odin flash back to stockrom
then use this tutorial :

it worked perfect for me and also has decryption module

Is there apps like sgs screenbooster for better sensitivity??also who use sgs?any reccomended settings for this app??

[Q] Botched TWRP upgrade, now lost root access

While attempting to switch to CM11 I tried upgrading TWRP from 2.4.4 to the newest 2.6+ and it messed up my recovery. Then, while trying to re-flash an older TWRP, I accidentally installed SuperSU over an existing install, and lost root. Tried re-rooting the device using motochopper and it gets to the last part, "rooting device" and it says "failed". Device the reboots, I try to open SuperSU and it says "no SU binary installed". All I'm trying to do is put back TWRP 4.2.2 so I can restore my device. Please help
EDIT: Tried using fastboot to install image, everything looks good, then my tablet freezes up. I do a power cycle, it reboots, and the recovery didn't flash.
UPDATE: Recovery flashed and wiped EVERYTHING. I am back on recovery 4.2.2.0 but nothing is mounted and I can't mount anything, I can't make backups or restore images, and ADB Sideload does not work. Any help would be really, really awesome. I have SDK Manager, and I can currently use ADB on my computer, I just don't know what commands, blobs, or images to use.

Can you use fastboot to reflash the stock ROM?

[Q] Stuck in recovery some time after flashing cwm

Actually it might be a little more complicated...
Full story: I was trying to flash cyanogenmod so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed cwm and SuperSU. Until this point everything worked just fine. I copied the CM-zip to the root of my phone. When trying to install CM however I got an error saying "Some changes failed" (Status 7), basically this. Also I started having trouble booting the system normally. The phone would either get stuck at the bootloader unlocked screen or just boot into recovery. I had done a backup at some point (not prior to starting to try to flash CM, I didn't really think I'd need one since the phone was brand new and I didn't there was any data on it I'd miss... yeah, well...) and sometimes restoring it would enable me to boot normally. However, after the factory reset before my nth attempt to install CM, that was gone as well. After doing a bit of research I found this thread. Since I had version 6.0.13 of cwm as well, I flashed twrp v2.7.1.2 instead. The interface is a little friendlier, but other than that there have been no changes.
Now I can't boot the system normally, not even by selecting "System" when rebooting it from recovery, it will just keep booting into recovery. I can still fastboot, though. My CM-zip is gone since that infamous factory reset and I can't get it back on the phone, or anything else for that matter, since my pc only detects the phone when it's booted normally. I tried pushing CM with adb but when I try to mount any partition I get an error saying E: Unable to find storage partition to mount to USB.
Any ideas how I could fix this mess? Or suggestions on how to avoid ****ing it up any further...
If you can adb, you can adb push... You are just adb push'ing to the wrong place I suppose.
Code:
adb push blah.zip /sdcard/
Should work...
Or even better, just sideload (put phone in recovery & 'sideload mode' before running):
Code:
adb sideload blah.zip
Either way, CWM for our device is ancient and does not support the latest ROM's. The version of TWRP should work fine, as should the latest OpenRecovery (2.09 IIRC).
Sideload worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Unable to mount /data and storage

I'm having a bit of an issue with my SM-P900. I rooted using Odin 3.9, installed TWRP 2.7, and then tried to install custom rom. The custom room (Link Here) But, I noticed something a bit strange while it was installing, it was unable to mount cache, data, etc, but it showed to be successful so I didn't think anything of it. I tried to boot into it, got past the initial Samsung screen, but then afterwards it was just black. I reflashed TWRP 2.7 but nothing happened. I also tried reflashing a stock rom I found using Odin 3.9 which let my device go past the initial samsung screen and into the second one(the one with the sound) but it just hung there. I booted back into TWRP and found that now only data and storage are unable to mount.
I've been searching all day, and I'm stuck. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[Completed] Need help with TWRP 2.9.7.0 on Note2 SGH-i317m

Hi. Just got a Note2 which was running 4.4.2
I downloaded Odin3-v3.07 and got root access. I then used a checker to confirm.
From there, I used the TWRP Manager to install 2.8.7.0.
I think this is where things went wrong. I know I selected the correct phone model, but it gave me an error saying something went wrong ( I think it said something about me having the latest TWRP) . Then my phone rebooted and took me into TWRP.
I made a backup and tried to flash the CM12 rom for sgh-i317m.
That's when I noticed I couldn't get out of TWRP. Rebooting or pulling the battery has no effect. Phone keeps booting into TWRP. I tried wiping delvic cache, cache and other things, but no matter what I do I can't boot into the OS. I tried restoring and it says it was successful, but again am stuck in TWRP. I've now spent the last hour searching for a way to get out and still can't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Notes:
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had forgotten to enable USB debugging when I was in my OS.
Another thing I noticed is when I open the terminal command, there's a running boot script error: E:/sbin/runatboot.sh process ended with ERROR=1
Problem resolved: I booted into download mode and used Odin to root again. That seem to overwrite whatever was causing the Note 2 to be stuck booting into TWRP.
I enabled USB debugging and installed TWRP again. Got the same error but this time chose not to reboot into recovery. Then I rebooted manually, and the phone boots into the OS. I powered down and held Vol up + power + menu and released power button at Samsung logo, and was successful in booting into TWRP. Exited and rebooted took me back to the OS. So I'm not quite sure what it was the first time around that got me stuck into booting TWRP everytime.
Glad you got it fixed! :good:
I'll close this thread.

G930F, LineageOS Install Fail, TWRP Frozen (Help?)

Hey all,
I'm not a total noob, but I do this so infrequently that I can't commit it to memory. Would really appreciate some help here.
I followed the official LineageOS Guide for Herolte, over here.
I had done this previously on my Nexus 7 so I was fairly confident.
Everything worked well, I got TWRP installed using Heimdall from Linux, and successfully pushed the latest LineageOS and open_Gapps images to the phone.
Rebooted into TWRP, and followed the recommendation to wipe System, Cache and data partitions. This failed with red text stating that ti was unable to mount data.
I googled some, and found a suggestion to reformat the partitions, first to a different file system and then back to their original file systems again. I tried formatting /data to exFat, and it took forever, eventually erroring out with an error message. After this I can't get into TWRP anymore. When I try the phone boots to the TWRP startup screen, and just freezes there.
I have tried reflashing TWRP using Heimdall and this does nothing. Flash succeeds, nut still freezes at TWRP splash screen.
I googled some more and found a suggestion to flash stock Samsung firmware, and then try again, this time formatting data system and cache without trying to first wipe them. Problem is I can't successfully flash stock firmware.
I tried using this method in Heimdall, but it complains "Local and device PIT files don't match and repartition wasn't specified!" and fails.
I've also tried booting into Windows and using Odin, but it never works. The screen turns grey, and no progress indicators ever start. I assumed this was because I had the incorrect drivers for the phone, and tried using zadiag.exe to replace them, but the driver install fails.
I'd greatly appreciate any help. I can't seem to force the phone to shut off, it just keeps rebooting and getting stuck on either the TWRP spash screen or on the download mode screen. I know this is solveable, but unless I figure it out fast, I'm worried I am going to burn in the screen.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Never mind. I must just have had a bad stock image.
I downloaded a different one, and retried heimdall and it flashed properly.
I am now able to re-flash and boot into TWRP again.
Hopefully I won't have the same problem again when I try to wipe the partitions...
Alright,
So I solved this issue by (once I reflashed stock, and then reflashed TWRP again) formatting the data partition twice, first to ext3, and then back to ext4. This looks to have cleared the encryption issues that were causing thsi problem ,and allowed everything to continue working as expected.
