So ive tried this two times each end up the same.
Twrp recovery works once each time, then fails to boot into it again. the first time i booted into it just to test it flashed properly, then clicked reboot then system. then whenever i tried to reboot back into recovery it would ignore my inputs and just got straight to system again. the second time (reset os with odin) is extremely similar with me just installing a custom rom first.
any help? no clue what I'm doing wrong, I'm definitely doing the same button combination i was doing when i got into the first time.

So I flashed the new synergy to try out the multiwindow pinning, but had the intention of going back to my nandroid right after trying it out. After flashing it and booting it up, and trying it out, I tried going back to my recovery (TWRP). But when my phone showed the TWRP welcome screen, it just stuck there and flashed every couple of seconds (like every 5 seconds) instead of going up and revealing the recovery. So I pulled battery and tried the hardware keys for recovery. It did the same thing. So I tried booting back up to my system, but it kept trying to go into recovery, so I went to download mode and pressed the down button to reboot (this time successfully). I did this about three times, and it kept failing to go to recovery. So I decided the flash cwm. With cwm I was able to get to recovery and move around in the menus, but as soon as I try factory resetting to flash another rom I had on my sd card, it froze. So I rebooted back up to my system using the download mode again. So now I have a booting phone but my recoveries don't work. I have flashed roms numerous times without problems, I checked to make sure my bootloader is unlocked, and am rooted. Can anyone tell me how to get my recoveries to work?
Edit: I just tried goo manager and installed the latest twrp. It went to recovery. Ill edit if I have any other issues.
Ok, so I've been Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.4.6-20150530-hlte.zip for quite some time now, probably since not long after it's release, and it pretty much liked it. Except for the occasional seemingly random "auto reset" of android/app settings and preference (such as forgetting all my saved wifi ssid) after a random crash/reboot.
Starting last week, the camera became problematic, often failing to start entirely (error message, "could not connect to to camera"), or could connect to the back camera, but freezes when i try to switch to front camera. I tried wiping data with TitBak and it worked again, but the problem comes back a while later. Is this a software or hardware problem?
Anyway, I finally decided to upgrade the the latest RR and wanted to upgrade TWRP from 2.8.5 as I go along. Since the existing version fits the requirement for TWRP install...
Code:
TWRP Install (Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed):
Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash.
... I went ahead and did it, with the standard 3 wipes (couple of times) and then the recovery flash. Turns out it didn't work and the phone just keeps freezing at the first screen with Note3 logo and the red/blue/yellow test at the top left saying booting to recovery. It never did!
I then tried to reflash the recovery using odin with the .tar file, it flashed fine and auto re-booted back into the launcher (everything's gone of course). But I still needed to go back into recovery mode to either flash a higher version of TWRP, or install the newer RR.
Still, it gets stuck and wont go to recovery no matter i used the hardware button method, or recovery button in the power menu, or adb reboot recovery.
What's wrong!?!??!
c'mon guys, give me something.
Later TWRP are know to give problems .

I tried to Odin flash the old 2.8.5. .img file as well. Didn't work.
Hi there, having just the old casual phone crisis. I was running cyanogenmod 12.1 for awhile and decided to finally upgrade to a nougat 7.1 build.
I tried using this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-dark-rom-t3492150 using adb sideload as I had tried a earlier one and the gapps messed up so I wasn't able to put twrp back on the phone. The rom said it had installed successfully but I wasn't able to sideload gapps, I kept getting an error status 255. I went ahead and just tried to load the rom without gapps and see if I could install it slowly through APKs. I managed to get past the initial android load and the services started up, and it got in an endless crash loop because the phone service wouldn't start. So I went to try and flash another rom and was going to delete the cache. When I went to delete the cache the phone hung for about an hour so I tried to just reset it into recovery mode again.
Now when I hold the power button and volume down key to into fastboot mode I can. I have access to the initial screen with the four options, but when I try to start recovery mode or start the phone my screen goes black, and it'll flash the dead android symbol with the error saying unable to mount cache, it only flashes it for like half a second then goes black and repeats every 10-15 seconds.
I tried holding power down, doing volume up, and letting go to do a hard factory reset but it does nothing. I also can't seem to access the adb sideloading anymore, I'm very scared that it's hard bricked, is there anything I can do at all to fix this.
Flash a new version of the recovery via fastboot. Then do a full wipe. After that install the ROM only! Reboot recovery (not system but recovery) then reflash the ROM (no wipe) and add everything else. Hope this helps you out.
The phone may not boot the ROM without wiping data if installing a 7.1 ROM over a 5.1.1 ROM.
Guys need some help with TWRP.
I am on stock XEF G920FOXA5EQG3 firmaware, instaled TWRP 3.1.1-0 via odin AP, all went fine it installed and phone rebooted normally to OS.
So i turned phone off and enter recovery and it is there TWRP all working. Problem occurs when rebooting from recovery, if i select power off, next boot is to recovery again, and if i choose reboot to system i got boot loop with samsung logo flashing about every second.
Just a note, even with stock recovery, selecting power down, and then powering on again gets me to recovery. with stock only reboot system now will do a normal startup.
knox is tripped if important to note, but not rooted.
Want to instal another ROM so i need TWRP.
appreciate any help. TX.
sorted
Long story short, I tried to install TWRP with odin and my phone keeps restarting after I did the reboot from the recovery.
This is roughly what I did:
Installed the adb stuff and android studio(because I don't know if the adb stuff was installed correctly)
Do the volume button stuff for download mode
Connect cable
Open odin
Add the latest twrp file in the AP space and start
The phone booted up regularly ... I can't remember which thread it was but it said to remove battery then boot to recovery so I did it.
The instruction I followed said to advance wipe something but I accidentally swiped to factory reset then it booted back to recovery I think then I went back to wipe what I missed earlier then I tapped reboot and system and it keeps restarting all the time.
I can still enter the twrp recovery mode and the downloading mode.
I think it's a boot loop and I read threads where the simple instruction doesn't work and I haven't tried the command stuff.
Hope someone can help me.
