Hi everyone!
First I am not so versed in the flashing game, so bear with my incompetence please.
I recently tried to update my note 3 on lineageos 15 to 18.1, however, doing so, unbeknownst to me, TWRP was replaced by lineageos recovery. Now I have 18.1 and I want to install the gapps, but to do so, I was told I needed to wipe 3 things, dalvik an two other things, ... anyway, I can't do anything now that I have lineage recovery. To get TWRP, I tried to follow this precedure : https://www.droidwin.com/replace-lineageos-recovery-with-twrp/ but in vain. I get stuck at Step 2. point 3, where my phone goes into ODIN MODE with a droid saying downloading, do not turn off. and nothing gives then. Do you have any idea of something I can do to get TWRP back?
Samsung devices don't use fastboot to interact with the bootloader, instead they use something called Download Mode and a tool called ODIN. You need that tool installed to flash anything on the bootloader level. Proper instruction for your device can be found HERE.
Also as a side note, Your device has a unique boot sequence. Your device's Boot partition (also called ramdisk) houses part of the recovery and the Bootloader will try to overwrite it with the ROM's pre-bundeled Recovery as soon as it boots up. There are ways around that such as:
Your ROM should pre-bundle TWRP as a recovery (LOS has opted to include their own).
You patch the boot partiton as soon as you change it, meaning you have to boot straight to TWRP using key combination after flashing using ODIN so it does that for you.
So don't get frustrated if it doesn't stick and try again.
Awesome!! I had to get other instructions for using odin, the missing part in the link you gave me was "push AP and get the .tar from here and click start" other than that, I did what you said, (missed the first time, got lineage recovery instead of twrp, did it again by removing the battery after it booted from odin, and did the volume up + home + power) and I got TWRP back ! Wohoo!!
Thanks a lot.
And to whomever working on lineageOS reading this, please consider leaving the recovery part to Team Win, there is no point for us users to have a recovery with no wipe so no updating a ROM, as far as I understand the process... but what do I know...
Ok I now installed mindthegapps, and my phone goes to download mode when it reboots. so... do I have to re-instal the lineageOS rom after or before the gapps?
Ok I got it somehow! thanks.

I have a nexus 5 16 GB and i downloaded the recent software update android 6.0.1 and then I decided to root and I used 'Nexus root toolkit v2.06' and first unlocked the bootloader and then rooted. Everything worked fine but after the process was complete it was rebooting and the booting animation went on and on for many hours and the device did not root. I really don't know what's going on. My purpose is to install a custom rom: cyanogenmod 12. Now what should I do ???? PLEASE HELP. When i try to enter recovery mode it shows a picture of the android mascot with opened back and exclamation and cannot enter command as well. and after some time the booting animation begins and goes on and on...
please help...

Unless something has changed, version 6. requires that you flash a special kernel before you can root your phone otherwise you are as you are now, stuck in a boot loop. You should probably download the factory image from Google, and then flash the system image to get rid of what you have done.. Perhaps then your phone will start normally

Thank you very much for the reply, I really do have no idea as to how to flash the factory image because i am very new in this area. Could you please recommend software and which factory image i should download, please ?? thanks very much.
:good:

Also, you mentioned a 'special kernel' what does that mean. All i want to do to my device is install cyanogenmod 12 and for that i believe it needs to be rooted, so i am really confused. What should I do know
I'm having this same problem, and unfortunately, when I start the phone on fastboot, I can not access the recovery mode in order to upload a factory image of nexus 5.
I used the new tool available her for quick flash, and now, I don't have a phone.
First, don't panic. Your phone is still very easy to recover. Unfortunately I can't get you a complete walkthrough here (for now at least), so I'll give you the main idea and you'll have to do your homework (as maybe you should have done before).
1. You need to get fastboot working on your computer. It's included in the Android sdk package, but there might be some easier way to get it. Google it. You might need drivers for your pc too. Google it as well.
2. Then you need to get into fastboot mode on your phone. To do it, hold down power button AND volume down button until it gets into fastboot mode. You will see an android on his back with the cover open. At this point, connect your phone to your pc, open a terminal on your pc and type "fastboot devices" without the quotes "". It should find your phone if fastboot is working. If it doesn't work go back to step 1.
3. Download TWRP recovery on your pc and place the img file in the same folder as your fastboot executable (not mandatory but easier). It can be found here https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/
4. Always in fastboot mode, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img" assuming you downloaded that file, which you should have by the way. It should install fine. If you haven't placed the file in the same directory as your fastboot executable, you will need to provide the path to your img file as well.
5. Then use the volume rocker to switch between modes and choose reboot recovery.
6. You should now be in TWRP recovery. At this point, download a custom kernel (anyone found on xda for hammerhead should do) and push it to your phone. It should be fairly simple with TWRP. Then flash your new kernel using install. It should help you get your phone booting normally. Alternatively, you can download a custom ROM like cm12.1 and flash it altogether. It will install everything needed for your phone to boot up too. Beware if flashing a ROM though, I strongly advice you to do a factory reset before flashing it. You will find that option in the wipe menu.
Hope it helps, let me know if you need further assistance.
Yesterday, I have tried everything to have my computer to recognize the "fastboot" command, and I installed like 2 or 3 different programs for that. With my old Windows 7, I have been able to push a flashed image to fix this issue, using the fastboot command, but with Windows 10, it's always telling me it's not a valid command. I'll keep trying it, otherwise, i'll have to "resurrect" my old Windows XP computer.
Also, I noticed now that, while trying to install the fastboot, as per some files that I could download, but no file has been copied into my computer, not even if I run it as admin.
fixed. but no RECOVERY mode options....
Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for the help, I have finally recovered the phone and running android 6.0 MRA58N but it is not rooted. Now if you don't mind could you teach me how to root because i have checked lots of videos and tuts but none worked for me...
IMPORTANT:
when i am in recovery mode why cannot I access options even when i press volume up + power button and release them at the same time...????
Thanks in advance.
Just flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Just make sure your bootloader is unlocked. Can't link though.
hi guys i have used nexus 5 mobile with cyanogenmod 14.1 .It worked properly in 1 year. after that suddenly switched off and it not properly boot up .i try to switch on my mobile , first it show google with unlock logo properly and when it show cyanogenmod logo it stuck and again show google with unlock logo....i try recovery mode to wipe and flash the same rom ....the process is interrupt at middle stage and again show the google..i try lots of time . after few try that process finished completely without interrupt. then use my mobile 1 day same as i used first time root. after that same problem occur on my mobile ..so help me guys
@[email protected], possible power button problem?
Is there anyone here facing same with my situation? today i bricked my J4 plus, Dunno if its hard bricked or soft brick, I can't enter to download mode and system restore anymore. Im just trying to get oreo back because i fell little laggy on my current os (pie). I went to samsung service center and they told to use JTAG to get it fix but its too expensive for me to pay hundreds buck for this.
Thank you
its not bricked. your battery is full drained. i had the same problem and how i fixed!!! i presed all 3 buttons and put usb cable to my pc and my phone. it goes like bootloop starts and shuts. you will wait with pressed buttons from 5 to 10 mins depend how low is your battery. and finaly will go to download mode and you can flash it then!!!
Bricked my J4+
Can someone help me with a bricked J4+?
I wanted to install TWRP, I followed the guide to the letter on how to install TWRP.
After successfully flashing TWRP 3.2.3-0 and flashing RMM bypass zip (without booting to the OS) I also performed a Wipe Cache in TWRP.
I booted to the Samsung OS and the system overall felt laggy.
I performed a Factory Reset, still the system felt laggy.
I decided to use Odin and install the Samsung factory system (thus go back to Samsung OS).
I booted successfully and decided to give TWRP 3.2.3-0 another chance.
Odin resulted in FAIL when trying to flash with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I tried different versions of Odin (from last to previous ones), different USB ports, I even tried another PC but no success.
I performed another factory reset and now the phone is hard bricked I guess because it will power on...try to get in stock recovery and Erase...and then power off. I can't get to download mode or stock recovery.
Any help I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks.

you didnt follow guide from letter to letter. is obviuosly you didnt do all you need to do. if you in pie update you need to flash twrp (you did) then NEED to format data(go to wipe choose format data(not wipe data,cache) write yes and swipe to format data.this step is important.then go to recovery again and flash pie patched boot.img and oreo enforcing.zip,then RMM bypass,and then you can do boot up your device.thanks.

The part where I had to format the data...I have missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
I took the phone to a repair shop because it is hard bricked and it needs jtag to unbrick it.
As soon as I have it back I will try again to install TWRP.

This is a phone from work and I did toggle EOM unlock and USB debugging in order to flash TWRP.
I did not enter any password, face unlock, pattern or sign in to google....nothing of the sort. As soon as I opened the phone from the box tried to install TWRP knowing it will erase everything after TWRP installation. I really hate Samsung UI and wanted to try Lineage OS or another custom ROM which is not laggy like ONE UI.
After installing TWRP the phone became very laggy (obviously I did not perform a format data...my bad) I did use Odin and flashed the corresponding firmware of the phone and it did that successfully.
I tried to give TWRP another shot by flashing it again but I was getting a FAIL in Odin with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
After this I tried to flash again the same Samsung firmware but kept getting the same FAIL and the same error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I have tried all versions of Odin but the same FAIL and same error.
Now I can't even get into Download mode or Samsung recovery mode.
I press Volume Up + Volume Down and insert the micro USB cable....the phone takes at least 10 seconds to power up (Samsung logo) and then I see a blue screen with Android robot trying to perform an Erase and then fails and the phone powers off immediately.
As soon as I get the phone I will check your link on XDA and try a GSI ROM.
Which one do you recommend...this is a work phone, all I care about is speed and fluidity and it has to be a daily driver.

1. two possible mistake. 1.after you try flash firmware dont check user data,just check AP,BL,CP,CSC and flash firmware.2.no need to try old odin. all new firmware is work on new odin.just need to know what to checked to flash. about gsi all is good but i like Havoc OS, Lineage OS 16, RR,almost all.again you are welcome to ask help if you want.:good:

yeeeahhh. i am knowing that in hard way. you can check user data only if you have ORIGINAL firmware and not rooted phone(mean twrp),if you have rooted(twrp) then flash with or without user data. some firmwares on web can flash with user data, some cant.anyway as i say you can always ask for help.i will gladly help if i can. good luck.

What you're describing are symptoms of a flat battery and a direct boot to recovery.
To boot to download mode plug in the USB cable first then hold vol up, vol down and power until download mode appears.
There is absolutely no way TWRP caused the lag. TWRP runs in its own minimal OS environment and has no effect on a booted android OS whatsoever.
Lastly your device wasn't hard bricked, a device that powers on even if it doesn't boot is only soft bricked.
Usually recoverable using the right procedure.

I managed to boot into the Revovery and perform a factory reset, now the phone booted normally.
I will try and install TWRP.
When these strange things happened the device had over 80% battery...at least that's what it showed on screen.
Now I see that indeed it was flat 0% and you were right to point out that this is a flat battery problem.
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

Yes Thanks. I am at 100% battery. Can I ask a few questions on how to install TWRP?
I am on Android 9.x.x PIE.
Install TWRP and immediately force reboot to recovery.
Flash the RMM bypass.
Format data
Boot to Samsung OS.
Is this procedure correct?
Thanks.

It's correct, but if you want access to the data partition in twrp you need to also install the encryption patch.
You will also need to either install magisk or some other patch that disables dmverity.

I bought a fairly new 2015 tablet a guy a bought it from had Blisspop OS on it v3.8 -( it was mint in box ) anyway in trying to get it to accept the official Nvidia OS - it failed many times in Twrp recovery i hit the wipe by mistake now the hard drive got wiped and it only hangs at the Nvidia Logo - is there anyway top recovery it? I had a backup on my sd card of the Blisspop OS but i was hoping i could access it via ADB fast boot ( been reading yet unfamiliar with the process ) when i hold the pwr button and volume down it takes me to the recovery but it just goes back to the logo screen it not even going into twrp ( no dounbt because the drive is wiped ) its this futile or can i recovery it somehow
If you can enter TWRP you are saved
As long as you can enter fastboot mode you are safe as well
In case you don't have twrp you need to enter fastboot:
I believe its power + vol down (might be up its beeb years since Ive entered anything with button combinations). When you're there follow this guide to flash TWRP. You will also most likely need to flash some old version because new ones require the newest firmwarw and bliss os is quite old (again I might be wrong). When you have TWRP follow Lineageos [OFFICIAL] by steel thread to get the latest firmware file and flash it. Then you need a rom and that can be any one you like (you aon't find a rom on Steel's thread but there are new LineageOS threads).
Good luck
Hello, my problem is that I flash "Twrp_3.2.3-1_a750.tar" with ODIN in order to try and root my SM-A750FN device.
After I flash it and ODIN sais PASS, I get out of download mode and immediatly enter recovery mode. At that point the teamwin logo flashes on the screen and then the phone shuts down. The phone boots up again, tries to go into recovery mode again at which point it goes into a kind of bootloop to teamwin logo and after a few tries it just stays closed, doesnt take anymore commands (dl, recovery, etc.) and starts to heat up like he is still bootlooping just doesnt show on the screen. I let the battery drain, i go into download mode and install stock firmware. I know long story.
SHORT STORY: SM-A750FN wont go into TWRP recovery, when i try to go to recovery mode it bootloops to TWRP logo. I would like to solve this in order to root it.
I specify that i have changed the firmware(rom) on the device, the original one worked with TWRP, I tried the latest firmware I could find for two separete regions and both have the same behavior.
Thanks in advance!
Re-flash the original ROM to get rid off of the failed TWRP installation.
Hello, thanks for the answear. Do you have any idea where to get the original rom from? I dont have it anymore as i din't make a back-up before flashing the ones that i got from the internet. I already tried to flash 2 stock roms from the internet and they dont seem to work with twrp.
Request it from OEM / Carrier.
BTW: It's NOT the installed ROM that doesn't work with TWRP but it's TWRP that doesn't work with installed ROM. Take note that TWRP rewrites portions of installed ROM.
I see, so I should request it from Samsung? Also thanks for you answears, i think i'll try atleast one older ROM for my phone, maybe TWRP will work with that. Thanks!
hello everyone, today i tried to flash twrp on my phone (rooted with magisk and running stock samsung rom), the flash was successful and i was able to boot into twrp but i coudnt access my storage or anything else, so i saw a guide saying to change the filesystem to ext2 then ext4, after i did that i could access most of the other folders but not the storage foldier as it still showed 0mb. i thought i just need to reboot my device to fix the issue but now im stuck on a bootloop. i cant poweroff the device since no button combination is currently working. is there anything i can do to power it off or do i have to wait a few days till the battery drains to 0?
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy A53 5G (Exynos)
Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and...
forum.xda-developers.com
this is the link i used to flash twrp except i didnt follow the wipe instructions because i dont want to use a custom os.
and if nothing else works and i have to wait a few days till it drains to 0, will i be able to boot back into samsung's recovery mode or is this device hard bricked?
help will be greatly appreciated.
This phone doesn't have the nice feature of holding the power button for force off so that is a negative here.
I don't think you should have edit:changed the partition types. If that was necessary it would be a ridiculous thing for other Android roms to have to do. Its all Android so should have worked without that.
Its unlikely that anything new will result from a cold boot verses a warm boot. Worth a shot I suppose but don't hold your breath. Expect nothing new.
If its stuck without Odin, fastboot, ADB, all buttons not doing anything, can't ingest and do something from sd card, can't show up via USB on computer, etc with nothing at all then its totally finished since nothing can be done. Consider it a loss and learn from it.
I'd like to also state that there are for some reason people who supposedly bring roms over to devices and they don't have the device so therefore don't really know if it works or not. You have to be careful about the guides you follow. I've seen someone try with a device that could not be unlocked ever for anyone and that person thought it would work. Live and learn.

hello, i was able to boot the phone into twrp and do a factory reset, i had to time the vol up + power button at exactly the time when the screen went black and it worked!. but now i have a question, if i want to get twrp again and i dont plan to flash a custom rom like it says in the guide, how do i get twrp to recognize my storage? and do you flash twrp before installing an os or after because ive done it after installing the os.

yeah so it seems like the issue isnt with changing the file system or anything because i installed twrp again and tried rebooting and i got the same bootloop issue, but if i flash a rom then ill lose twrp like it happened last time so i dont understand what im supposed to do
you have to format data in twrp otherwise it won't see your storage folder.
once formatted reboot to twrp then reboot to system, it should reboot to stock rom and the set up pages.

wipe>format data>type yes>reboot to recovery. i did that and still cant reboot to system bootloop issue persists
yes you did it correctly this time, is there anyway to undo your 'filesystem to ext2 then ext4'?
or maybe you have to flash the custom kernel to get it all up and running again

it's a zip file so it should flash in twrp

Try a different version of TWRP I remember this happened to me before and I installed a different version and it was fine
