Problems with TWRP - Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers

Hi all
I'm having big troubles with my Galaxy S10e.
Initially I wanted to install the Pixel Experience ROM but I'm not getting anywhere...
To do so I figured I would install TWRP to flash the ROM via Heimdall afterwards and already there I'm running into problems.
It seems that I can only flash the TWRP version 3.6.0_9-3. Any other version will fail in Odin, don't know why because the log does not say anything helpful.
But the bigger problem is that once I install that version of TWRP the phone keeps booting into download mode.
The only way to fix it, is to flash the stock ROM and start over again, only to end up at the same point.
I am completely lost and out of ideas...
The phone is OEM unlocked, USB debugging is enabled and the bootloader is unlocked.
Does anybody have an idea how I can get a custom recovery onto the phone without it going into bootloop ???
Thanks in advance !!
Edit: Managed to install the newest version of TWRP but still run into bootloop to download mode.... aaaaaaaarghh

Bootloop after root

As topic says, I ****ed up the root and now im in a bootloop, I can get into the download screen, however.. I cannot get into the recovery screen where you can reset the phone.. I've tried 4 different firmwares and none of them works with odin. I live in Sweden and has Telia as a carrier if it matters. Please help me. I'm kind of panicing right now since this phone cost me over $1000
I have the "SM-G920F" And was using Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.
Don't flash a ROM using Odin, use TWRP.
Get the latest version, enter download mode and flash TWRP.
Reboot into recovery, do a factory reset and flash the ROM via TWRP.
Don't let the device do the first reboot itself, force it yourself immediately after successfully flashing TWRP (see info on above linked page also).
Good luck to you, don't worry, i had the same prob a few days ago; your phone's not bricked.
I had the same problem few days ago.
Just flash TWRP and go to recovery mode and flash custom ROM via TWRP if you still want it.

[TROUBLESHOOTING] N5 Unlocked; No Rom; Bootloop

Hello, i got a little problem and dont know how to fix it. I wanted to flash another rom on my Nexus5 it was running on pure nexus and i didnt knew that if i want to flash the stock rom i gotta do this from my pc. So i went ahead and flashed the stock rom via TWR and basiclly nothng happend. I tried to reboot after the installation was done but then i got stuck in bootloop.
My device is unlocked and in fastboot mode, i am running linux, and i cant use the flash_all.sh file to flash my phone cuz it wont get detected by the Android studios./ fastboot wont get detected by android studios
Dont know what to do from here on cant find anything usefull on the internet. I hope so much that someone can help me out here
Thanks a lot in advance
Easiest would be to get access to a windows PC and user the nrt app to flash a stock rom.

I cannot use SPL to install stock ROM because TWRP boots phone when connected to pc

So I have a device which was rooted then they tried to update it. Now it's stuck in a TWRP loop which wouldn't be that bad if the only usable stock ROM wasn't for SPF.
SPF requires a shut down phone but TWRP keeps on booting the phone up when I connect it to the pc. Any ideas how this could be solved?
Or anyone knows how to make a SPF firmware into a TWRP compatible zip?

Or maybe make do something with adb sideload to install?
I tried shutting the phone down from adb, still reboots. I don't know if removing the battery would solve it, but that quite hard to do.
Please help. This stubborn TWPR annoys the ** out of me.

Need help recovering my phone from bootloop after trying to update custom rom

Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

if your problem is not solve then tell me you need to flash a fastboot rom first with save user data.bat file and when it installed then you can install twrp builder 3.2.1. and then boot to twrp this methods working fine,if you recently flashed any android 10 rom then first you need to flash a miui fastboot rom,or flash it via command mode direct only 3 files
first click on extract a fastboot rom and copy boot system and vender file with flash.all bat file and make a new folder then click on flash.bat save user data file to flash these images
or you can do this manually
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vender vender.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot device to fastboot again
now flash latest official twrp builder 3.2.3.1 img twrp and take all your data backup,
in fastboot flash latest miui do not downgrade direct otherwise you lost your data,
after this if you sucess then you can flash your old rom which is running before issue of boot loop of redmi logo

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.

Bricked A8?

Hello,
I'm running the samsung galaxy a8 (2018) canada version, so sm-a530W
Recently tried installing twrp, everything was looking okay, i booted up got to regular booting and accessing the phone, then i powered it off and powered it back on and i'm stuck at Downloading mode only.
What are my options here? I can't seem to boot into twrp now either or flash it again, seems to go back to download mode regardless
Hm actually so I just went into odin and flashed twrp again but let it auto-reboot this time and it lets me get through to my twrp and system but turning it off again leads it back to downloading mode, do I need to reflash a boot image and where do I get one?
Realized I may not have turned on USB debugging when I installed twrp, is that what's causing all these issues? and how would I best resolve this
After installing TWRP you have to treble-ize your phone. For this, reboot into TWRP with the given option. Then flash TWRP treble so you avoid getting locked out. Details of the procedure in this thread. Depending on your android version steps might be different so make sure to read everything and follow it carefully.
