you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !

I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

pull the battery, like radicalisto told you ! forgot about that...
give him a thanks if it worked !

Check you have the right CF-Autoroot, if you got the latest one it won't work as it's for KK only try This One - In future please read more.

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

Check the drivers, check KIES isn't running (kill all processes or uninstall) -- And make sure you go into download mode, start Odin then plug in your phone.

i9500 can't install recovery (Fixed)

Hi everyone. I was using my phone with stock rom for a while ans I wanted to pass to Miui cuz I heard 4.4.2 will be released soon.
I downloaded TWRP and tried to flash as I did everytime before with Odin. I flashed it and it rebooted, odin showed Pass with no errors, but when I tried to launch the recovery, it is still stock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I flashed it like this before and they always worked but this is not working. Is there another way to install this? I don't have root access but it wasn't an issue before. I have the usb drivers installed and debugging on. It was tricky to install drivers on Win 8.1 but it seems like installed correctly as it didn't showed an error.
Waiting for an answer please. I hate this exynos phone but my parents just not allowing me to sell this.

Nope. It still opens up the stock recovery. Anymore solutions?

You tried to install one in the stock recovery? A zip file of the Recovery?

I tried installing Miui in the stock rom but it didn't work. Perhaps the last updates did something? Cuz I was able to do this with ease. Maybe downgrading to the first stock 4.4.2 will work but it takes a lot of time and I'm sick of this. Thanks anyway, I'll boost your thanks meter by one more for trying to help

The rom you are currently on has nothing to do with your inability to flash the recovery. It's a completely different thing.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That should probably fix it.

You can maybe look for the latest official firmware from samsung and flash it. And after that try again the recovery. Here the Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/

I think my phone is broken. Please Read.

Hey,
I made a thread the other day about getting a good ROM because the others seem to die after 3 days. Does anyone have an idea of why this happens? I have tried 6 different ROMS in 4 days and they all the do the same thing; Apps won't open, phone constantly on boot logo, apps crash, phone freezes up, phone won't boot up.
The phone is around 4 weeks old with minimal wear.
I would appreciate all feedback.

That's my problem. When I did flash a custom ROM, they all froze, crashed, non responsive etc etc. So this has made me not want to flash a custom ROM, but I want to because of all the perks that come with flashing /:

You have maybe to update bootloader or modem or recovery before flashing. .
Give some details about your actual configuration and the rom you flash...

I had CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and I tried Gooh S5+N4 ROM, S5 stock by Jamal, XNote, Omega and N9005 Dev Base (RC tea I think) and a couple others. When flashing, I did all the normal step, wiping cache, wiping data, dalvik when told and leaving the phone for 10 minutes after it boots.
Do you want any information about the actual phone?

You have N9005 international? ???you have flashed stock KK one time???your bootloader and modem version....
You have to factory reset during flash.......

1. Reflash the stock ROM.
2. Root with CF Auto Root.
3. Flash this custom recovery: TWRP (better than CWM).
4. You can remove the bloatware (HERE) and enjoy the stock ROM.

Sorry but I don't like the custom Roms. It's coz they are constantly updating and fixing things, no coz they are bad. Every device don't answer in same way with same ROM either. It's only my opinion . Last choice is always yours.

A3 2016 cannot check for update?!

Recently I checked for sw update on my new a3 2016 phone and it found some new security updates and it went fine with update.After few days I checked again and it found nothing.Last time I successfuly checked was 11.6.2016 and since then I can no longer check for updates.If I touch the option for manually update check nothing happens.I already tried as suggested by google to change another sim or to wipe cache partition but none of them works.I do not want to factory reset.Any other solution to this problem?I also tried to use kies but its not supported!!??
Any help would be appriciated.Thanks in advance.

Are you rooted?
Supersu will block the security update as it will brick your device otherwise.

Not referring to OTA's. I am referring to security policy updates.
Samsung have been pushing these lately which can soft brick a rooted device.

Oh,ok,i didnt know this,then im sorry.

But... if you flash stock firmware, u will lose data, too, so make a backup with twrp and put it in your PC/OTG pendrive/SD

I think you can solve this problem wipe data and cache from recovery but you will lost your data! so you can try to flash the last firmware of your stock rom via odin maybe it will solve!
EDIT: i didn't read you answer "i don't woant to reset my phone" so flash your stock rom i don't think it reset the phone just flashing the stock rom!
