Please help! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys; Rooted note 3 on stock 5.0 ROM with TWRP recovery.
Earlier, my device booted no problem, but whenever I'd try to go to recovery mode, it would skip it, and go straight to Odin for whatever reason.
I downloaded Quick Boot from the play store and clicked to boot to recovery, and now my phone displays "Could not do normal boot" and enters Odin mode.
Please help!

flash TWRP via Odin again

[Q] Unable to access recovery

So i rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 today, and i was told by my friend to use clockworkmods recovery before i start using custom roms. Since there was no option for a gt-i905 on there, i went to the internet and i found a .tar file that had gt-i905 compatibility. SO, through the amazing power of odin, i went into download mode and "installed" clockworkmods. According to odin, it was successful. According to my phone it was not. IT couldnt boot in to recovery and it always went back into download mode saying that it could not boot properly and that it was in odin mode. So pulled the battery out and went back in to download mode and instead of volume up, i pressed volume down to restart the phone. The turned back on normally.BUT, everytime i attempt to go back into recovery, it shoves me back into download mode. I have no idea what i did and i would like to know if there was anyway of fixing such problem?
Thanks

Very easy to Fix it...
If you are rooted install Mobile odin, search on XDA not on Google in S4 I9505 section For a Recovery...
Download it (Make sure it is the right file)
Put it in Odin and just press flash...
Enjoy...
If there is a Problem check your device and flash the stock firmware from Samsung and then Flash again the recovery....
Hit thanks if i helped...

Cannot install Recovery.

Hi all,
I am not sure whether this the right forum to post my query. It's been a year a since I bought my S4 (i9500) so O thought of rooting and installing recovery on my phone. I was on stock 4.4.2 and I was able to root my phone using the CF-AUTOROOT, but after that when i am trying to flash a custom recovery using Odin it ends up in the download mode. I have disabled knox after rooting the phone and my phone status is now custom and so I cannot get any official update.Is there anything I did wrong which is forcing the download mode to overwrite the custom recovery I am tryjng to install???? Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bobby Thomas.
Just boot into download mode. Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin and flash the recovery. That's it.
Thanks Lenny for your prompt reply, actually I did try that but after the manual boot it again goes back to the download mode instead of recovery mode....I even tried to install it through ADB shell but with no luck...I just goes to the download mode whatever I tried to do...
I was having a problem with the system trying to enforce the stock recovery every time I flashed TWRP through Odin. Turns out I got it by simply removing the battery as soon as Odin finished the job and restarted my phone. Waited for a few seconds, put battery back on and voila.
It worked for me. Do it at your own risk.
I also had the same trouble and had to untick auto-reboot, take out battery reboot back into download mode flash again. The first time I tried that it didnt work and the only way I got it to work was you Cyanogens windows installer, then went into recovery and flash the rom of choice.
What happens when you boot your phone, download terminal emulator from the market (or use adb) and type the following:
su
reboot recovery

Home-Volume Down-Power = Download Mode
Home-Volume Up - Power = Recovery Mode
You'll need to flash the Bootloader and Recovery. It may start up at this point. If not, then flash the Singapore ROM. You can extract the bootloader and recovery and then make them a .tar .md5 file for Odin. Read about it HERE. I've used it to recover my Canadian SM-N900W8 Note 3. All it would do was vibrate and boot loop. Now I'm 100% back up and running in Lollipop. Only use files for your version of the Note 3.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/
Singapore has 4 cell providers to choose from.
Or
you can try using Samsung Kies . Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery. You'll need the serial # under your battery.
Or you just flash this one https://idlekernel.com/twrp/3.0.0-0/twrp-3.0.0-0-hlte.tar.md5 by Odin on the AP slot. If you really have a SM-N9005 like me (No other strange SM-N900* one!) this will work and fix your loop by updating the bricked recovery to the most recent TWRP one. Here is more information I'd recommend to at least read a bit of to at least understand a bit what you are installing by that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001
ODIN 3.09 for ya: http://androidhost.org/PVAIv (using old crap 1.85 is NOT NEEDED)

If you are in download mode why don't you just flash the recovery .. download the TWRP .tar file and flash it via odin

Bro, I have done flashing the .tar file. And the phone works normally but it doesn't open recovery mode. Whenever I try to boot into recovery mode, it says " cant do normal boot " and goes to download mode.
Ok that's right .. in your first post you wrote "want to flash"
Anyhow have you tried flashing some other recovery like CWM and then again flash TWRP. You should redownload TWRP tar file again.
Please don't click any other option in odin that are not mentioned
