Have you properly installed cwm?
You need to press power+home button to access recovery mode..
If u followed correct procedure for flashing recovery, then do what's told above.
For ur info:-
1. OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
2. One Package: (recovery_file)
Do that in odin.:thumbup:

Install CWM with ODIN. Turn off the phone and press Power, Down and Home button together.

Try install ROM again or maybe you need install some stock ROM of 4 files. After that, install CWM with ODIN.
Which rom r u on?

I rooted with Casual and selected TWRP for Custom Recovery. Everything seems to be working fine, but I have been unable to start TWRP. With phone off, I hold volume down + Power. The phone will vibrate every few seconds until I release the power button. Then it starts in normal Android mode. Am I trying to start this in the wrong way or is there something messed up with TWRP on my phone?

Until you flash a rom that has a custom menu to boot to recovery you have to hold volume up plus the home key while hitting the power button. Let the power button go but keep holding the volume up and home key then TWRP should start up.
Edit: You can also download Quick Boot by Sirius app from the play store and see if that gets you to your recovery until you get a rom on that let's you boot straight to recovery.

The buttons worked BUT TWRP isn't. I have an Android Robot, out for the count, he is on his back. The recovery must be messed up.

Thanks, but I already tried redoing TWRP with Goo Manager. Program ran fine & finished, but when I rebooted into recovery I got the dead Android Robot again. Don't know how to proceed at this point. May try re-running Casual. Still reading everything I can find on this situation before doing anything.
From a powered off state, hold volume UP, home, and power. Let go of the power button when the phone vibrates.

Done that multiple times, same result - Android on back. Tried redoing TWRP with Goo manager, also Checked on lock/unlock with Ez Unlock - got "status unknown". Did not risk pressing either 'Lock' or 'Unlock' and exited app. Not sure what to do next.
Phone is working. Can make calls, messages, use & install apps and change settings. SuperSU is working, TB Pro is working. I did TB Backups & uninstalled multiple locked apps (Bloatware) before discovering that I cannot get into a working TWRP Recovery.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Odin flash a TWRP tar. Uncheck auto-reboot, once it successfully flashes, pull the battery then try booting directly into twrp.

It should. There's download mode and there's recovery mode. You are having issues flashing a recovery. I don't see anything in your prior posts about difficulty accessing anything else.

Your link above for the "TWRP Tar" goes to a page that instructs to go into odin mode on the 'device' by pressing Vol down, home and power. When I do that I get the Android Robot standing and a message that says "Downloading Custom, do not turn off device". At this point no buttons work and I have no choices do do anything and have to do a battery pull to get out. If I go in any other way I get the Robot on its back.
EDIT: You link was only for the purpose of getting the tar file, not a suggestion to use Odin Mobile. I think that all of the time I spent reading about this issue is affecting my brain.

Yes, you use Odin from a computer and boot your phone into download mode then connect it via usb to flash files. Based on your post, you haven't used Odin before have you?
Edit: If it makes it easier, this thread has a [HOW TO] for Odin and the process of flashing tar files as well.

Ahh, I see that now. Also, per your earlier statement about EZ Unlock. If you have v1.2, just tapping unlock does not harm the phone in any capacity. In fact, fact I encourage you to do so just before using Odin (from a computer) to flash TWRP or CWM. EZ Unlock v1.2 only unlocks the bootloader.

Did your suggestion and Ran Ez Unlock again and pressed 'Unlock', Status now says UNlocked. Now that it does I'm going to give Goo Manager 1 more shot at fixing TWRP before I run Odin with the TWRP Tar you linked to.

Ran Goo Manager, but no success. Put phone in download mode and used Odin to flash recovery with openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-d2vzw.tar. Odin ran through to end and showed "Pass" and rebooted. Used Vol UP, Home & Power keys to enter TWRP got the Robot on his back with a Red Exclamation mark with this message below:
# Manual Mode #
"...Applying Multi ...CSC
Applying the CSC Code: VZW
Successfully applied Multi-CSC
I have 6 choices on this screen.
1 Reboot System Now (I pressed power and phone booted normally)
2 Apply Update from ADB
3.Apply Updated from External Storage
4 Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5 Wipe Cache Partition
6 Apply update from Cache
So I still can't get into TWRP and the only difference is now the Red Exclamation Point.
Did you uncheck "auto reboot" and pull the battery and boot into TWRP like I said before?
Here's a third method if the above does not work. Download EZ Recovery from the Play Store. Once you've done so, you can use my prior link from Rootzwiki and download a TWRP img (image) and use EZ Recovery to install that img file. For this method, make sure to use TWRP.img. Do not use the "tar" file, for this method, tar files are for Odin only.

Hi,
I have S8 Plus SM-G955F in Germany.
Dont knwo what exactly happend, but my phone was just still running fine (bootloader is unlocked) and I rebooted but then was stuck at "Installing system updates" screen which appear before getting into recovery. However, it does not enter into recovery and reboots after few seconds into "installing updates" mode which then fails.
It does not boot up into Android.
All I can access to is Download Mode.
I flashed "BL_G955FXXU1AQF7_CL11544126_QB13847503_REV00_user_low_ship.tar" Bootloader and rebooted and now it is stuck in Samsung boot logo. If I press Vol up + Bixpy Button + Power nothing happends, it does not even start to load Recovery mode.
I now downloaded following stock firmware through SamFirm: "SM-G955F_1_20171214140840_hlcm4r582t_fac.zip.enc4" (3332 MB)
but when trying to flash it in odin I get FAILED !!! Also if I try to flash TWRP recovery "twrp-3.1.0-1-dream2lte.img" I get FAILED in Odin I now also tried to flash "AP_G955FXXU1AQH3_CL12050265_QB14545623_REV00" firmware using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y0ZZxcNVnE which also FAILED. I think I am completely bricked !!
Please help, phone is completeley useless now
Thanks!

I had the same problem with downloading stock firmware. My problem was that I couldn't download from SamMobile because of server maintenance. So I downloaded from here. An with this tool there's the option to decrypt the file automatically. I forgot to tick this option and had a .enc4-file like you have there. The problem could decrypt this file and then I could unzip it and use it with odin.
So that's your problem: you are trying to use an encrypted file. But you have to use an decrypted file.

Usual behaviour was this: Vol up, bixpy and Power -> Recovery mode which fist starts with "Installing update..." then failed and then it goes into some black recovery mode where you can choose Apply update.zip etc. right? However, in my case this black screen with more commands did not show up, before it was rebooting again by itself.
Now I cannot even get into this "installing updates" mode before recovery, because "Vol up, bixpy and Power" does not bring any action.
Vol down, Bixpy and Power still works and brings me to Download Mode. But it doesnt help me, because once I tr to flash any firmware in Download Mode, it FAILS in Odin, so I am completely stuck, hope you understand

Download mode is the only mode you need for restoring stock firmware.
Try this guide. (Spoiler "Flashing Standard Firmware:")
Yesterday I did it with this one too and it worked flawlessly. But I used Odin v3.12.3 not as said in the guide V3.12.7.

it automatically loaded into recovery before, I was not able to boot into Android, it loaded recovery (but without black screen with more commands) automatically by default and rebooted, loaded recovery again and rebooted, loaded recovery againd and rebooted etc...all I could to to interrupt this was loading download mode.
However, thanks for the link, but it does describe what I did already. And yes, I also used Odin 3.12.3 already because in the video tutorial I linked some posts before they said also, I need to use that version.

I am not doing anything wrong, I am sure. The only thing could be that the Firmware I downloaded is still wrong, even I cannot imagine this.

Yes that's the only thing that comes on my mind too if you think everything else is right. Download another firmware file maybe from a different provider than SamMobile.
Or try using different USB-Port, USB-Cable and/or different PC.

Did already, did not help. I think maybe there is something realldy bricked, so flashing stock firmware wont be possible at all anymore?! Is this possible somehow?
btw: Just managed to load into TWRP, randomly it does load twrp, dont know how, because if I press the keys for loading into recovery, it actually does not do anything, but currently I see twrp.
Is see anything I can try from there? btw: formated data (incl. internal storage) earlier already, but it did not change anything.
But any idea what I can try to flash from TWRP maybe? Is there a way to flash stock firmware from TWRP somehow?
I found a backup in twrp, I am currently trying to restore it...

It looks like you're not the only one...
You know, you might want to try and remove the more current apps you installed and see if that is causing the loop, and if that does not work, just dirty flash over what you have. For me, a lot of time a dirty flash will solve the issue, as it overwrites the OEM software, and in that manner, takes my phone OS back to normal/new state, while leaving my data.
Hello everyone,
I have problem with my s7, after trying to flash stock several times using odin, I am always getting s7 logo, and than blue screen with Erasing... , than it would restart with same pattern two or tree times and than shut down. I can only go in download mode, cant boot into recovery.
My phone is SM-G930F. I am pretty sure that I downloaded correct firmware. Maybe I did mess up something, any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Yes and I'm saying it's a normal process just after flashing. If the flashing was done correctly then it will reboot after the blue screen.
What firmware was on the phone originally? And what country are you? Where are you getting the firmware from?

Flash again using CSC not Home_CSC
Also you must be able to boot into recovery, even from the download screen.
when the phone is off, you press volume up+home+power and the phone does what?

Yes, I used CSC one, when holding button combination phone boots same as when I hold just power button.

This is correct but you keep all buttons pressed until the Recovery menu appears.
If you flash the correct firmware with Odin and it gives you a "Pass" then the recovery menu is there on the phone. It can sometimes be tricky to get into if your phone goes into a boot loop but the menu is definitely there.
You can try just volume up+power but the normal way to access is volume up+home+power and keep them pressed until menu appears. Also the phone HAS to be off before you do this.

I am not sure why it is not opening recovery menu, but it seems like its trying to boot into it (phone screen changes to black for a second and than goes to blue screen again).
