I was trying to root and install TWRP on my grand 2. There's no official one available, so I downloaded unofficial .tar files of recoveries.
I used Odin to flash recovery
Odin shows pass.
And the recovery is still stock
I try flashing 5 different recovery .tars
Then I decide to root via CFautoroot
Still can't overwrite stock recovery
I try flashing recovery again now. Odin shows green. I turn off the phone and boot to recovery, the phone goes to download mode (instead of recovery) with a message on top saying
'Could not boot normally'
Odin works here, and the phone is now rooted.
Now the phone is rooted, but running without any recovery at all
And Download mode shows the software status as CUSTOM.
The phone, if booted up normally, runs without any issues. The issue is just that it doesn't have a recovery now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS
I know all the stuff I need to know about flashing and rooting and installing ROMs, just need help in getting outta this problem !
it easy don't worry try to install this version of cwm via odin

So
I have been struggling a couple of hours with this issue: Trying to root my samsung galaxy s4 i 9505, with three different odin versions (now last tried v.1.85) and both CWM and TWRP. I finally managed to get a pass from odin, but whenever I go into recovery mode on my phone, I am at the stock recovery "page", saying Android recovery on the top. Which must mean that I am not rooted.
I have no idea what to do, anyone there with some tricks up their sleeves?

Cheers for your reply, unfortunately I haven´t gotten longer than the first step. I try to flash stock rom, but it seems like i need a pit file and i cannot find a working one anywhere around the internet. Is there some way to find the pit file stored in my phone? Or another place where I can find a working pit file other than the one called CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2?
Edit: Now I successfully reflashed stock rom and installed CWM recovery. Problem is that whenever I try to flash a rom I get the message "installation aborted".
What to do?
Hi everyone,
Sorry to bother you with this. I recently purchased a Samsung Note 4 (less than a month ago). I successfully rooted it and it worked fine. But today I was incredibly stupid and I tried to install TWRP on my phone. I followed the instructions on this site (which I can't link because I am a new user) and tried to install TWRP using flashify. However, something went wrong and now when I reboot my phone it goes into downloading mode with a green android and text that says "Downloading.. Do not turn off target".
Now every time I reboot it goes into this. I googled this and I tried
1. to click cancel on the download
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
2. to go into recovery mode
Does not work, goes to green android screen anyways
I cannot perform a factory reset because I cannot go into recovery mode. I don't know what to do. Is there any software from the PC that would allow me to reset my phone? Of course it would be ideal if I can get it working without resetting it but at this time I just want the phone to work...
If I take my phone to someone, will they be able to fix it? Please help.
Download Odin and the TWRP .tar file.
In Odin, click the AP button and select the TWRP .tar file. Then just flash it that way and it should work just fine.
If that doesn't work, download a full stock ROM from either Sammobile or one of the mirrors here and flash it the same way using Odin. The stock ROM is probably a .tar.md5 file. Don't extract it further and just select this file in Odin.
You might have to install the Samsung USB drivers for Odin to work.

Thank you. If I knew I could have just flashed TWRP in with Odin earlier, I would not have gone through all the trouble. Unfortunately, the method I chose made my phone stuck in downloading mode.
I downloaded the stock ROM and used Odin to install it. I was able to get out of download mode that way but then my phone got stuck in an endless reboot loop. But at that point I was able to access recovery mode again so I just gave my phone a factory reset. It works again now. (Hooray!!)
If I every do try to flash TWRP in again, do you know which version I should use?
Just use the newest one on the official TWRP website.
Hello, I need help to rooting my phone. I am currently using Samsung Galaxy S5 model number SM-G900H with Android version 5.0, Baseband version G900HXXU1BOL2 , Kernel version 3.10.9-5852541, Build Number LRX21T.G900HXXS1BPD2, and KNOX 2.3.
I've follow many tutorials on how to root my S5 but with no luck... it always get boot stuck after flashing CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.tar.md5 using ODIN3-v3.10.6. What else could be wrong ?
Some S5s don't like CF AR
Copy SuperSU.zip to your phone/microSD
Flash TWRP with ODIN (Uncheck Auto reboot first in ODIN)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2725939
Once it completes the flash, disconnect the USB, and pull the battery to power off the phone
Replace the battery, and immediately boot into recovery with Volume Up & Home & Power
Flash SuperSU
Reboot (If asked to root again from TWRP after flashing SuperSU, say NO)

I did all the step above but after flashing twrp-k3gxx.tar , remove the battery and entering recovery mode, nothing is change there, it just entering the original recovery mode. Do twrp-k3gxx.tar is the correct version for my SM-G900H ?

What happen if I just flash SuperSU directly via ODIN ?
Did you put the phone in download mode, and did ODIN show a connected COM port at the top?
Did it say successful flash?
Try leaving Auto Reboot checked and do it again, let the phone reboot, and then try booting into recovery
You can't flash SuperSU from ODIN, it's a zip file, not an ODIN flashable .md5 or .tar

Yes I did put the phone in download mode, and ODIN show a connected COM port, i know how to used it and succesfully flashing the twrp-k3gxx.tar, pull the batt out and back in, boot in to recovery mode and nothing is happen... i just entering the stock recovery mode. it is like something overwrites the custom recovery right just before the phone boot up.
I think it is likely that Root image doesn’t seem to worked with the newest Android software update version, or maybe Samsung might also try to released some patches to the Android system that might prevent from customizing ?
I also tried to flasing CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.zip but it soft-break my phone so i have to flashing back to stock rom (luckyly i have download it before)
Stuck with the same issue. Plenty of Auto Root tutorials are available. Each one specifies that tutorial is exclusive to particular model number. G900HXXUIBOL2 is my build number. Once installed CF Auto Root. When verified via Root Checker, it showed success and got root access !!..But Couldn't enter recovery mode since then..was getting stucked in boot loop when trying to enter recovery mode. Had to restore stock ROM...Really frustrated with Samsung's UI. Wish I could change to Cyanogenmod..Any help would be really appreciated..Thanks in Advance
Hi guys.
Been trying for 3 days now to install TWRP / CWM recovery on my Galaxy Grand 2 SM-7105, running Android 4.3, but to no avail.
Here's what I did:
1- Using Odin I flashed root rom "CF-Auto-Root-ms01lte-ms01ltexx-smg7105" . I got PASS in Odin, (is this an indicator that the root is successful? Because if I entered Android after that, it seems unrooted from Flashify or root checker).
2- Without rebooting OR after rebooting the device, I run Odin again, and in download mode I flash the TWRP recovery.
3- Disconnect USB cable, remove battery, then boot into recovery, but I keep getting the message:
Could not do normal boot .
Odin mode
Current Binary: custom
System status: custom
No matter how many times I tried and how many method and Odin versions I used, the same result.
What could be wrong? How can I be sure that it is a problem in the installation of the root, and not in the installation of the recovery, or vice versa?
Appreciate your feedback !
Use my twrp
