I wanted to install a custom rom using twrp. i rooted it and selected the twrp file then i recovery rebooted it took me to a screen that says Downloading... Do not turn off target. I have tried everything i could find online to fix this nothing has worked.
Any suggestions?
Try pressing down power + volume down for a few secs to try a force reboot
mine did the same as well
Flashing ROMS using TWRP on this phone would typically require a re-flash after the first flash to work properly. After wiping and flashing for the first time, reboot into recovery again and then do the same wipe and flash once more and it should now work. If that fails, then try re-flashing stock then start again...
Connect phone to your PC then download stock rom file form Internet. I suggest using sammobile.com. MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD RIGHT FOEMWARE VERSION MATCHING YOUR PONE MODEL NUMBER! Download Odin3 and flash stock rom using AP option in Odin3. Hope this will work!

Guyz my phone was rebooting since the last few days and yesterday it suddenly stuck on the I5801 logo. I tried going into to recovery mode and reseting the data but it dint work it was getting stuck there to like it kept on going and tried it a few times.I dont remmeber if i have ticked the usb debugging option and i dont know how to proceed but my phone goes into downloading mode wen i press the keys for it so can any tell me a solution to it .Thanks in advance im kind a new to this but i know how to flash using odin so i wanted to ask should i flash the kernel or rom and which one
download any .tar ROM like kyrillos rom and flash it via odin
connect the phone to download mode and then open odin and select the .ops file and tick one package and select the .tar rom you have downloaded and then click start
once the download is complete, wipe data in the recovery (it automatically enters it)
and then reboot
enjoy
Thanks alot ill try it out
my friend gave this link i flashed it accourding to this
://androidadvices.com/samsung-galaxy-3-gt-i5801-steps-install-official-froyo-ddjp6-22-firmware/2/
now my phone is stuck on
-- delete app data.....
Delete files,please wait.
i tried going into recovery but same thing happens.
Im not familiar with androidadvices.com so cant say why that would happen, I know that there is stock firmware available on here is you search STOCK FIRMWARE you will find it. download one you want to unzip it, flash the .tar file via odin and factory reset and wipe dalvik cache. this should solve any problems you have.

download JPU and flash it via odin
My gti5801 is stuck on recovery menu and i dont know what to do...
pull out the battery and reflash your rom with odin
Someone please help. I Odin'd my phone and after it restarted it would go through half the boot screen and then turn black and vibrate. I can get into Download mode for about 3 seconds then it goes black and vibrates. I even bought a jig and it gets me to download mode and then goes black and vibrates.
Please help.

Does it vibrate non stop... Because this happened to me once... No matter what I did, nothing was able to fix it
-I tried restoring old back ups
-Flashing new Roms
-Deleting and wiping data cache and dalvik cache and under mounts I formatted system
-I went back to stock
I tried every possible solution and nothing worked for me but maybe your case is different so you might want to give this a try
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
Edit: I believe the pit file download link at that thread no longer works but if I remember correctly the pit file isn't needed (it's not do or die) you can continue without it your phone will be fine
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ICS.
*IF YOU WANT TO ROOT IT READ BELOW*
to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot or on custom recover wipe cache and dalvik cache reboot and you're good to go.
If I helped you in anyway don't be afraid to hit thanks!

Thanks for the response. I would love to do all of that, I just cant get the phone into download mode for more than 3 seconds without it re-booting. Does anyone know how to get me into download mode without rebooting. I have a jig and all cables.
just need to get it to download mode.

Reboot while your in recovery?
Reboot while your in download mode?
Reboot while booting up?
Reboot for anything and everything?
If so I'm sorry to say but your phone is done for...when this happened to me I had to fight through the reboots and flash stock even if it took a thousand frustrating tries then once I reset the flash counter I sent the phone off to Samsung and got it exchanged free of charge... Better hope your still under warranty otherwise you're in the market for a new phone.

Thanks for the information. I am coming to the conclusion that might be the case. I have sifted through multiple threads, tried everything other than a JTAG.
If anyone else has a suggestion, im a very open to hearing it.
Hi, this is not my first time flashing TWRP on this phone. And I have been successful so far.
Today I use Odin to flash TWRP, and it went through just fine (see screenshot), but when I enter the recovery mode, it says "Android system recovery <3e> LMY47X.G920FXXU2COH2 on top and I am very confused. I tried a few times and apparently I cannot enter TWRP while Odin kept telling me I have flashed it successfully...
Did you have "Auto-Reboot" ticked on Odin? On my Note 4 that used to mean the kernel would reflash the stock recovery upon booting. You need to untick this, turn the S6 off after flashing and then boot directly into recovery using power + home + vol up
Nope. On the S6 auto-reboot menas what it does. The phone gets rebooted after the flash is done.
To the OP: You used the correct file to flash? USed AP mode in ODIN?
I had same problem. I think you need to have rooted kernel through odin first. Idk, that us what i did.
Just so everyone knows how I solved this. I wiped everything and flash TWRP and it worked. I am not sure why, but that's how I got it to work.
Hey guys... i've been trying to put a custom rom on this old p5113.... i've tried flashing latest TWRP on it with odin which odin claims its successful, but when i reboot the device and try to go into recovery i get back the original samsung recovery.... it's almost like it overwrites recovery at boot... i've read number of guides on this but i seem to be following the same steps they're suggesting.... am i missing anything obvious? from my understanding it's a straight up odin flash on custom recovery and then just use that to wipe/format and install rom + gapps.
Any ideas?

how are you doing it exactly, do you unplug the usb cable just as you see its "passed" with green status? or let it reboot itself? or are you rebooting it yourself? usually it will reboot itself into the recovery after it is successful, sometimes it goes to the system directly, generally the idea is to get into the recovery mode as soon as you flash it through odin. you should not let it boot and go to system( means don't let it start your rom, no samsung logo instead go to recovery first by pressing your volume up with power button. (if it's not going directly into recovery)
downloaded twrp 3, was running 5.1.1 on my phone and rooted it. tried to flash a rom and got stuck in a bootloop, now I cant boot into twrp, or anything for that matter. All i can do is hold volume down and power and home and try to ODIN a new bootloader or such and it just fails. what do i do? but when I try to boot into TWRP it goes into a blueish screen with a White exclamation mark saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software. I tried to do that but it didnt even recognize the device. At this point i dont care about the data, I just need a working device
Okay, so I attempted to unroot and flash the stock 5.0.2 software and I got a error on the download screen. It says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3. BINARY: 1.
If you have no knox install MM official then flash this kernel tar file (AP) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B40ItdHKfkyQcTA5bnRPWDg0X28&usp=drive_web#list it will boot to mm 5min :good:
Btw you cann downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 you just go up not down

Happened to me a lot of times in the past few days trying to get MM, for some weird reason flashing Unikernel always works for me (takes me to recovery screen after, then i select 'reboot now'), and all my data, apps etc are still there

will try and update. thank you. didnt work.
Okay guys so now I need a ROM to flash using ODIN. I tried to download from sammobile but the speeds are too damn slow. What I tried to flash was this file " G920TUVU1AOCG_G920TTMB1AOCG_G920TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5 " and i got the error 3 to 1.
Download Samfirm from here, XDA itself.
Run samfirm, enter model as G920F and your region code.
It will download from Samsung servers, so high speed.
Now flash using Odin the downloaded file by putting the phone in download mode, (vol down+home+power on).
How did it happen?
Did you try to flash the VOD 6.0.1 and got stuck towards the end at hidden.IMG failing the process?
If yes, then its a two minute job. Just open the 6.0.1 tar archive and look for hidden.IMG extract it anywhere and rename it from "hidden.img" to "hidden.img.tar".
Note flash this hidden.img.tar as AP in download mode, your phone should boot.
