Messed up Clockwork Recovery

Hey
So I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" GT-P3110.
I followed this guide to flash my tab with a 4.2.2 ROM.
Everything went fine, all downloaded and everything, I wiped the memory, and formatted the device, and then when I pressed choose zip from external sd, it said it wasn't mounted. I then pressed back, and the device rebooted. Now it just shows the samsung boot logo, and shuts down.
I can't get back into recovery mode now!
I tried pressing power on and volume up + down at the same time, doesn't work.
What do I do D:
There is a backup of the OS on the actual device itself, I made one before, so I figured that if I can get back into clockwork recovery, i can install the backup, and then copy over the ROM to the internal storage where I can install it from there.
But i can't get back into clockwork recovery mod D: Help, please!!

If its the same procedure like my Galaxy S, you have to search for a firmware, most likely 3part
and restore trough Odin...

How to fix my Samsung Galaxy J7 on bootloop without recovery mode?

Hello, so my Samsung galaxy j7 (SM-J700F with android version 6.0.1) goes on bootloop after I tried to install xposed updates after rooting the device using odin and installing custom recovery twrp without much thinking (my bad). I tried to go to recovery mode by pressing volume up, power, and home buttons, but failed because it says "can't boot on normal mode invalid kernel length" , also I can't boot the device normally because it says the same thing and goes on bootloop. I searched for guides but all of them tell me to go to recovery mode which I can't. I can only go to download mode by pressing vol down, power and home buttons. I already backed up important files to external drive before the whole process, if I have to do a factory reset to fix this it doesn't matter. I'm very noob I'm not familiar with the language also I really appreciate your help asap thank you very much

You have to factory reset. Since your bootloader is still working (download mode), download your device firmware from sammobile and flash using odin.
Welcome to the android community and good luck!

[PROBLEM] Can't access recovery and bootloader!

Hello,
I've got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (WiFi) and I can't boot into recovery mode or download mode even with
pressing the power key and the volume up / down key.
I'm stuck in a bootloop and can't use ADB to boot into recovery because my
PC doesn't recognize my tablet!
This happened after I put a TWRP Backup on it.
What can I do to undo this?
Thanks in advance!

I had the same thing. Bricked trying to put custom recovery in. Everything I find for my got p5113 is dead or garbage. Seems the only living way is with Odin and a tar.md5. problem is only tars I find working are stock. Everything else is a zip and it seems TWRP won't work or is just corrupt. All the tutorials use dead links. So I found a stock lag....I mean Samsung rom.

Stuck at TWRP Loop!

My phone got stuck at TWRP Loop!!
So, there is what i did...
I flashed Samsung a7 firmware ANDROID 10 [download from firja] and it worked. I needed to root my phone and tried Magisk new app.
But, with new Firmware I did not had TWRP installed, so I flashed TWRP with oden as instructed in this POST [BTW, I followed first method , not the *****OREO ROOT INSTRUCTIONS:***** ].
** TWRP version is 3.2.3-1_ashyx **
After that my phone got stuck at TWRP Loop.
Phone will not boot to normal , only BOOTLOOP to TWRP. Most of the time TWRP doesn't load fully and TWRP screen seams Black Line [in horizontal axix, MY phone display fine, it seems come from The TWRP!! ].
So, I am kinda STUCK at this TWRP Loop and TWRP load at it LOGO nothing more.
I tried every possible KEY combination to get to the fastboot mode/download mode but failed.
One or TWO time I was able[or it did it self!] to boot into TWRP (TWRP loaded but , with BLACK line) , i tried to enter download mode but failed.
So, what can i do?
-Thanks

I got the same problem, i did this: Power + volume down next when it restarted fast pressed v+ and v- and plug in the cable before it showed samsung logo

Nothing to worry and don't panic,
I've been facing problem like this.
To enter bootloader / download mode. With USB Cable plugged You must press and hold Power + Vol Down button then count it for 7-8 seconds, after that immediately release Power button, and press Vol Up + Down. Repeat this step if fail. U will see Download mode.
Regards.

You hold volume down + power button for 7 seconds and phone will be power off.
Then you press both volume buttons (vol up + vol down) and plug in cable what is connected to computer, this pusch you to download mode of phone.

Hi, Bennie from Holland here, with the same problem: tried to flash Twrp to the Samsung A750FN and now stuck in not working Twrp logo, flashing for 2 seconds and further a black screen< The fastboot using Odin can be used via the method described by szimin22, bur the adb fastboot gives no response. Does someone know the correct trwp version for this mobile or a firmware file that can be flashed by Odin?

A Week Later ...
i have installed on the a7 the firmware dated okt 2020 and i can install without any prob trwrp or PBRP! but the machine goes into bootloop again. The only thing which seems to be resolved is a normal functional recovery. Now the return to the phone itself and we are home! any suggestions, pls give us a chance to not smash the a7 through the kitchenwindow

Development [UNOFFICIAL][EXPERIMENT] TWRP for Galaxy Tab S7 FE

This is an unofficial and experimental build of TWRP which was tested on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE (SM-T735) model only.
I used TWRP Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ 5G device tree by ianmacd and modified it.
MTP doesn't work at the moment.
If you flash a GSI, be sure to wipe the metadata partition along with the data partition.
You might need to flash the neutralized vbmeta image.
Installing TWRP: Flash both files with Odin in the AP slot.
Kernel Source (I used the kernel which was in the stock recovery)
Device Tree Source
As always, be sure to backup your data in case something goes wrong.
Edit: I apologize to everyone for taking 1 year to update this thread.
Disclaimer:
No guarantees that everything would work. I am not responsible for any damages caused from this.

Thank You for your contribution, I hope to see a stable TWRP or other recovery

Hello,
How I had flashed these files on my tab was by flashing them one by one. Alternatively, you can flash vbmeta in the USERDATA slot.

Doing both at the same time doesn't work. Bootloop. Had to flash stock and start from scratch to get it working again. Then I flashed vbmeta which then required a factory reset. Did minimal setup and then flashed TWRP but couldn't get it to boot to recovery so TWRP got overwritten. I unchecked auto reboot in Odin prior to flash and when it finished held power and vol down till screen blanked and then switch to vol up. But when it reached the screen saying to push power to continue it didn't continue until I finally released vol up. Then it booted system instead of recovery. I held vol up for several minutes before finally releasing it.

Hello,
This requires a factory reset.
I apologize that i was not clear before but the steps i did were:
1. Reboot my tablet to download mode with adb using "adb reboot download"
2. Flash twrp in the AP slot
3. Then the tab complains about using a custom recovery, force reboot the tab and immediately boot to download mode (by holding both volume buttons and the power button)
4. Then flash vbmeta in the AP slot.
5. Finally, when the tablet automatically reboots, immediately hold the Vol Up+Power button to boot into twrp.

It might slightly differ in the specs, if the model is SM-T733, I would suggest you try this version of TWRP instead.

Did you ever get TWRP to work? If so, what stock version were you running? I'm thinking I can't get TWRP to run because I'm running the latest update out right now.

AFAIK, the ONLY TWRP to work was for the T735 and it was experimental. So far, I'm happy with rooted stock. My performance and battery life seem to be great, so there isn't much pressure to improve with a custom ROM. So long as rooting is possible, you can do your own de-bloating.
