You installed a 4.3 recovery on a 4.4 phone.
Most likely you downloaded the TWRP on the main page and did not download the latest 4.4 compatible one.
Please flash this in Download Mode: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hlte-recovery.img.tar
To get into Download Mode, remove the battery, wait a few minutes then put it back, Hold the Download Mode Combination then it would boot directly into Download Mode.

hey nicho, thank you very much
so that was the trick. REMOVE THE BATTERY --> PRESS THE DOWNLOAD KEYS AND HOLD THEM --> THEN ENTER THE BATTERY BACK.
it costed me the whole day yesterday searching for a solution.
at least now I can continue to install a new rom
Thanks man

TWRP
during twrp it told me, there was a newer one. 2.x.x.9
so stupid me, if I had sticked to the plan, nothing would happend.
I used twrp b4 some days ago, for my samsung note 10.1 (2014) without trubbles,
I guess, I overread something
but I'm happy it is all fixed now.
thx for show ur interest
greetz, fred

thank you

Solution To Loop SM-N900P
I am new to XDA and have only been with android for 6 months but i figure this will help new comers to this issue. Power+Volume Down+Home at the same time to enter download mode. Flash CWM via ODIN. This should work to fix the loop. I found out the hard way but it only took me an hour. I am not sure if this will work if you have not already rooted your phone but it should (since this is the major step in rooting). I believe i deleted my CWM file (accidentally) when i was trying to clear space for my recovery with ROM Manager. Be sure to download the Samsung drivers if you had not already done so during the rooting process.
Hope this helps.

Gives me same error message
But after that it boots into recovery.
Should I proceed installing custom rom or is there anything else to be taken care of

Thanks!
Thank you very much,you save me a lot of trouble.

Based on my experience, using rom manager to flash recovery always results in a problem. I suggest you use odin to flash this in download mode.
Btw, 4.4.2 is Kitkat

should I root my phone first using cf-root. Then flash the cwm recovery. What happens if I get stuck in a bootloop after flashing the recovery

The way I did this is, first install the cwm recovery then flash cf-root after. You can always use odin to flash back the original firmware.

so there is nothing else I have to do before flashing the recovery?
what boxes should be checkmarked in odin

Just make sure reactivation lock is off.
When you first start odin, F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are ticked off so let them be and make sure only those are checked and nothing else.
You probably know this but just to make sure, load the recovery on the AP slot before hitting start.

HELP! I think I bricked my phone! Tried CWM Recovery and stuck in Odin mode!

Ok so I updated to the 5.0.1 update on my S4 yesterday and kept my root using that method with the chainfire app. Today I wanted to try flashing CWM on my S4. Upon trying on Odin 3.09, it said failed and now my S4 boots into Odin Mode and says "Firmware upgrade encountrered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Ttry again."
WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST DO?

Glad you got it fixed.

Thanks for the info. I was able to do every step and am back on 5.0.1 and rooted. My issue now is that I can't boot into recovery mode. Can you help me?

Safestrap doesn't allow recovery boot for lollipop. This is because safestrap hasn't been updated for lollipop yet. Everyone's moving to lollipop someone will update it or come up with a alternative soon I'm sure.

If you want to fix the stock recovery. find the OC3 Stock Partitions file and ODIN it to your phone. If you find the one that's a zip file, you'll have to ODIN a kitkat kernel to flash that in Safestrap.

I don't understand. I've never used safestrap. I was able to flash back using odin to the nc4. Than flashed to NJ1, rooted that, then upgraded to 5.0.1 while keeping root using that flashfire method.
Now if I use flashfire, do a cache wipe that way I can access flashfire's reboot options, select boot to recovery, it will boot to recovery fine. I just can't get it to boot recovery using the volume up, power, and home buttons. It says recovery boot in blue at the top but then restarts and boots normally

Bootlooping After TWRP Upgrade

Something told me not to do this but I did anyway. I attempted to update TWRP to latest version. I am using Sm(900p). When I turn my phone it goes to samsung screen and keeps bootlooping. I try to boot into recovery and still does not get pass the samsung screen. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to fix this?

Pull the battery for 2 minutes, then see if it boots.

Thanks. I fixed by loading twrp with Odin.

Where did you get the .tar file. My recovery is in error and I can still get into download mode. I'm on CM12.1 for HLTE and I dont think there is a TWRP recovery for HLTE on 5.1.1 yet? I dont have gapps installed either. So it has left me with very few options.

[Q] SM-T537R4 Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 will not load! Only has download and stock recovery

Rooted the device with Odin. But couldn't for the life of me find a recovery for it. Flash a ton through Odin then final got a TWRP recovery to work.. When I wiped everything I was instructed to I tried to flash the rom I found (Bliss) I got a could not mount preload error.. And another error I can't recall. Then it just kept looping. So I ran the root file through Odin again.. And it now just boots straight to the Samsun logo and sits there until you hold power vol down (or up) and home till it switches to download or recovery. The TWRP is gone somehow and its stock again.
Hope this isn't confusing... I'll answer any questions and try any suggestion... PLEASE HELP

As far as I know there aren't any custom recoveries or roms working for your model number, so that's why nothing is working properly. Your only solution would appear to be to download the stock firmware and flash back to stock with Odin.

I enable usb debugging. I also tried to flash with auto reboot unchecked, but whenever i boot it to recovery mode i always end up stuck in samsung logo with powered by android under it.

USB Debugging is only for when you are booted into Android, not for download mode

I'll try the link that you sent me. Thanks for the reply ?

I disable USB debugging then tried flashing TWRP recovery via Odin. After flashing, I remove the battery then boot into the recovery and waited for 30 seconds but the phone is still stuck with the samsung logo. I will try to clean flash stock recovery and try flashing again the custom recovery.

I successfully flashed CWM recovery but the problem is, the recovery can't detect my storage. Internal nor external. What seems to be the problem this time? :crying:

Somehow, i've managed to root it using CWM recovery. What's the difference though?

TWRP is much more powerful
