I recently update my n910u to 5.0.1 and re rooted it. I went to reboot my phone into custom recovery but notcied there is no longer one there.
I do I go about installing TWRP back on my phone??
Thanks.
Anyone
get a different TWRP file, maybe the latest one. Go into Odin Dowload mode, choose 'AP' & the recovery file. press start.
make sure Reactivation Lock is off & USB Debugging is On. Turn Off any antivirus before u begin first, and close Kies3 if its on in the background.
Good luck

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?
New to the S4 - did a search and could not find a similar problem as mine...
My friend gave me his S4 and told me it is rooted - which it is. However, there seems to be no recovery on the phone. When I try power-vol up-home, I get the blue recovery note at the top, but then the phone just continues to boot into the system (MF9). I used Odin to go back to stock and then attempted to boot into recovery - no luck. I rooted the phone again via CF Auto Root and tried to install a custom recovery via Odin and TWRP Manager - still no luck. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? I appreciate the help.
Bumping this up to the top for one more run through...thanks everyone.

Maybe go in to Odin mode and flash latest stock making sure to unchecked the auto reboot option. When it finishes flashing unplug and pull the battery, let it boot it'll take a while (took mine about 10-15 minutes). You'll then be on latest stock with latest bootloader and recovery. From there you can go back to Odin mode and flash TWRP. Once again making sure to not auto reboot.
Just to be safe back up apps and msic and picture etc on samsung kies and then do a full recovery delete everything and install the latest firmware then try cf auto root again or if you have trouble with that rhen use kingoroot and then flash twrp or phils recovory and get a rom. If that doesnt work just get cyanogenmod installer which installs root and a stock rom.

Thanks mattzeller. Your suggestion took me back to my Evo days. I took out the sd card, flashed with Odin, pulled the battery, rebooted the system, and then was also able to boot into recovery.
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,
I tried to install CWM on my rooted Note 3 N9005 with the latest 5.0 updates and the default recovery kept overwriting the custom. So I followed the advice on an article to delete the files [/system/recovery-from-boot.p] [/system/etc/install-recovery.sh] an this made my phone to fall in a loop, booting and trying to find these files then rebooting and so on...
I then had no choice but to load the stock ROM via ODIN which fixed the loop.
Is there anyway to install a custom recovery on a Note 3 running 5.0 - I want to do this in order to continue and install a custom ROM.
Thanks in advance for the answers!!
Don't use cwm as it has not been updated for a long time. Download the latest tar version of twrp for your phone.
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash twrp, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait about 5 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery.
Thank you!!
What did the trick was that I quickly removed the battery and went to recovery mode. Even with "Auto Reboot" deselected the phone rebooted so if I left it it would have overwritten again the custom recovery.
Just a quick note to help others... anyone trying to flash Darklord or Phronesis ROM... USE TWRP v.2.8.0 and not the latest. The latest version for some reason won't install the ROMs.
thanx this wad so heapful .
