hello everyone.......i have trouble installing custom recovery on my SM-G900H stock lollipop ..i tried cwm and philz... both of them installed succesfully and exactly took 2.02 minutes ......and when i rebooted to recovery i get a dead android with msg stating invalid command and it shows stock recovery ...........can anyone please help me out with this problem ?
Are you letting Odin reboot into recovery through auto reboot? If so then that's the problem. You need to uncheck auto-reboot and pull the battery after it finishes flashing and boot into recovery manually.
An alternative to the above is to root with CF -Auto root, then use "TWRP Manager" from Google Play to flash TWRP recovery
Or if already rooted, just grab the app

Hey Guys,
I just rooted my i9505 via CF-Auto-Root and it worked like a charm. The next thing I did was to flash Philz Recovery, at first it auto reboot and it never went into recovery, so I followed the steps to re-flash it without the auto reboot and force it into recover. It loaded into Philz Recovery perfectly fine, now when I reboot, it gave me the option to disable auto flash recovery, so I selected yes.
After that I was never able to get into Recovery Mode ever again. All it does is says Recovery Booting in the top left corner and then restarts and loads into the OS. I followed the steps again to re-flash Philz with auto reboot unchecked and it still failed to get into recover. I then tried CWM and TWRP (via Odin), but all of these gave me the same problem and failed to get into recover.
I then tried SGS4 Flasher but still the same question.
Anyone here who has this problem before and know the fix or is able to recommend another method?
Was able to fix it. Had to flash the original stock Recovery back on and then re-flash a custom recovery. Not sure what happen but was able to install TWRP on without an issue, maybe something in Philz Recovery that stuffed it up.
OK! Looks like it is not working correctly. For me to get access to a custom recovery, I have to flash the stock recovery via Odin and then flash a custom recovery to get it working EVERYTIME. It will boot into Philz, CWM and TWRP only once, then you need to flash stock recovery and do the process all over again.
So it looks like the recovery gets over written each time even if you select "yes - disable flash recovery" in Philz Recovery. Anyone know of another way to disable flash recovery?

with a root explorer, go to system/recovery-from-boot.p and rename it to recovery-from-boot.p.bak

Thanks for responding samersh. To lessen the pain of constantly flashing the recovery via Odin on my PC, I bought Mobile Odin Pro. However, it looks like when I flashed using Mobile Odin Pro, it fixed my issue.
I checked \System\ and there was no recovery-from-boot.p there. So it is confirmation that this has been fixed. Thanks again for responding.
Hello
I just tried switching my recovery. I had an autoloki recovery and didnt think id have to reflash lokidoki but i clicked reboot recovery and now everytime i try to boot into recovery, it says unauthorized software and at the top it says secure boot kernel.

edit fixed with dd if=/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Good deal .you could've also just used Goo manager for
re installing TWRP or
Rom manager for CWM and then find your Auto loki recovery again

Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy S5 G900H, I updated it to stock Samsung Android 6.0.1. Now I want to root it. AS I've read in some of the other threads that flashing TWRPand then the latest SuperSU works. I went ahead and flashed TWRP using ODIN. Odin was successful and my phone rebooted and phone is working fine. But when I try to go into recovery, stock Android recovery pops up. I wonder why?? Can anyone point me out?
try this recovery you will be solved...
juz flash it with Odin 3.09

Use twrp 3.0 by fevax i was had same problen but when u flash it reboot to recovery then to systen
I flashed this same recovery earlier. It is not working for me.
It's the same one I flashed earlier. Not working for me. Should I try to reflash the stock firmware and try again??
"flash it reboot to recovery then to system" Important point. This worked. Instead of rebooting directly after flashing. I flashed recovery, then removed battery to turn device off. Then rebooted into recovery. It WORKED.
I think rebooting into system first rewrites TWRP with stock recovery.

hello i sucessfully installed TWRP but i cant install CWM, i root from odin, disable knox, and install cwm from odin to phone, odin shows pass, not failed, phone reboots and stuck on recovery booting enforcing , cache: set warranty bit: cache/recovery.. so when i saw, i cant do anything, just reflash to stock android. So why i cant install CWM. But i can INSTALLED TWRP. I Do the same operation, disabled knox, and install TWRP, sucessfull working, But CWM NOT.
Cwm hasn't been updated for a while so I recommend sticking with twrp.
Try this: flash the cwm zip file from twrp, use twrp to reboot into recovery.
I succesfully installed TWRP when phone had stock ROM.
I booted into it, and i flashed CM11
And after that, i couldn't go into TWRP anymore.
I tried flashing diffrent versions of TWRP, and even CWM but still it doesn't boot into recovery
I tried to reboot advanced options, to reboot into recovery from CM11, but still, it doesn't reboot into it, it just hangs at "rebooting to recovery"
I know key combinations, because i flashed CM11 via TWRP, but suddenly it dissapeared.
I don't want to reflash stock ROM, because of this, in fact, i just want to flash zip file, fde.ai , but recovery is not available, so i can't flash it.
I tried flashify, and rashr, they all don't do their job as adversited.
So my only fix is , to somehow bring back TWRP into which i can't boot
