S4 does not run anymore after flashing TWRP - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
i gut some serious problems with my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
I was running Cyanogen Mod 12.1 with CWM Recovery. After trying to update to CM13 and the appropriate Gapps i noticed some problems installing gapps with CWM. After searching the internet i decided to try it with TWRP instead of CWM. So i used the App Rashr Flash Tool to Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
After flashing TWRP i rebooted the device and got stuck at the Samsung welcome screen. In the right upper corner is displayed the following:
RECOVERY BOOTING. . . .
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Unfortunatelly the phone does not load the recovery or start the OS. The only option i recognized is to enter the download mode by pushing Home + Vol.Down + PWR.
So i tried to use Odin to reinstall TWRP correctly over download mode and this is what Odin puts out.

When i now restart the phone i got following message on the screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
After installing Kies it says that my device is not supportet...
So no i have no idea what else i can do to get my phone running again...
Does anyone has an idea?
Best Regards and thanks

Did you try flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com?
Maybe use Odin to flash the latest version of TWRP to see if you can enter recovery?

The solution is easy. Use a different usb port / different usb cable.

Well a different USB-Port got me one step further.
It seems that odin flashed the recovery successfully:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
After that my phone booted back into my current android / cm OS
Unfortunatelly, if i try to reboot directly into the recovery, i get stuck in the samsung welcome screen again. Means i can not access the recovery...

Use a different recovery thats my advice, i have a same issue as you maybe someone could help me, i open a new thread there also

Try this: unchecked everything except f.reset time in Odin before flashing TWRP, connect phone, flash TWRP, when you see the word "RESET" in the status windows, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery. When the phone powers up, let the power button go but keep holding home and volume up.

somehow i fixed it...
i re-re-reflashed twrp and suddenly everything went fine.
Thanks for your help and real quick responses!
great forum!

[Q] CF Auto-Root Failures

I am trying to use CF Auto-Root for my GS-4 i9500. I power up my phone in "download mode" but as soon as i do it already says 'Downloading... Do not turn on target!!'. I waited for a while (watched a tv show so probably 40-45 min) and nothing changed. The upper left says; Odin mode, ..., Write Protection: Enabled, eMMC BURST MODE enabled. I turn it off and back on in download mode (still says 'Downloading...'), load up the binary, connect the phone to my comp (odin says 'Added!!' and recognizes the COM port it is connected to), and click start. About half the time i get:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have tried 4 different USB ports and 3 different cables. I can simply click restart in odin and try again when i get this error
The other half i get:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> recovery.img
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
in the upper left on my phone I get, in red; start [224, 1440], secure magicode check fail : recovery. This requires me to reboot the phone for another attempt. I have clicked the PIT button in odin and there are no files there.
I have found some similar threads for the first failure but they all seem to require re-partitioning and re-make (?) the PIT file which is apparently "extremely risky". As for the second failure, I found several threads with a similar failure but they were regarding going back to stock and seemed to be caused by a bad recovery image?? On the up side my phone will still boot into factory software just fine, but I would really like to figure out what I'm f-ing up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help
If I were you, I would look for a custom recovery and flash this. I use Philz Touch Recovery, you can root it from it and it works perfect.

flash it in Odin using AP.

[Q] Help rooting Note 4 N910F

Hi,
Hope someone can help me. I'm having problems rooting my Note 4 N910F. Initially I tried CF's autoroot but my phone went into a loop with the message "CF Auto Root, Set Warranty bit : recovery" message appearing in the top left. I could not get it out of this, so then tried to install TWRP recovery. This seemed to be successful as the phone rebooted and i was able to use my phone again. See Odin log :

<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Completed..

However when I tried to get into TWRP it simply boots into the stock android recovery. When i try to do a OTA update now I get the message " The operating system on your device has been modified...."
Thanks
Paul
Ok Think I've worked this out for myself. Think with CF autoroot I needed a special file that was posted by a Tony on here for my version of the N910F. Tried the TWRP again with Odin and did not do an automatic reboot this time. Pulled the battery and booted into recovery and have TWRP. Seems my phone was automatically replacing TWRP with stock recovery.
Hope this helps somebody else out!

Tried to flash my phone with an older kernal and now i'm stuck in recovery mode.

Hello the phone I'm using is s5 active at&t.
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776
used this G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5
But for some reason everything went to the dumps. I then looked up some guides and got a stock firmware from sammobile G870AUCU1ANE4_G870AATT1ANE4_G870AUCU1ANE4_HOME.tar.md5
Odin recognizes the phone as it shows it in the ID:COM area but then it fails.

this is what appears on my phone: sw rev check fail fused 2 binary 1
My first time trying to root. It brings me to the recovery screen with a bunch of options and I'm capable of getting it to the download screen holding volume, home, power.
Please any help would be great.
edit. also tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8481Qm0l010 didn't do anything, but it passed on odin
edit. trying this guide out doing note.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g870aof2-5-0-keeproot-t3161733
edit I went through this process a few times http://www.modifyandroid.com/stock-...ck-rom-for-samsung-galaxy-s5-active-sm-g870a/ and it always fails on odin
This is what the recovery menu looks like
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from adb
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
enable cp logging
disable cp logging
My main problem right now is that it fails whenever I try to flash it with a stock rom. But when I flash it with a kernal or other stuff it passes.

You need to decrypt your internal storage so
go into twrp and select "wipe" then select
"format data" and follow the prompt.
For best results you should also wipe system
and cache while you are in twrp recovery.
Once that's done you should be able to Odin
flash firmware without any issues or errors.
Just make 100% sure that the firmware you
want to odin flash is the proper firmware for
your phone.
Good luck, have a great day!
Thanks managed to fix it.

And i am 100% sure that the phone works as i had it working yesterday perfectly fine.
The roms i have installed before this one:
Stock S8 Rom
AMBASADII ROM FOR S8/S8+
Alexisrom s9 port for s8
Someone please help me out, if you need more details please ask!
THANKS <3
For anyone who has the same problem as me, here is a fix i found after almost giving up,
Go to Sammobile.com or Shell.BoxWares.com and download the latest firmware for your phone model, even if it isn't your country, still download and flash it, i live in ireland, so i should have 3IE Firmware but i downloaded the Indonesian firmware and it flashed without a single hassle
Its due to bootloader issue

You are trying to flash a old bootloader on top of new bootloader version, downgrading is not allowed AFAIK
There is a simple reason for this. If you came from TWRP as "reboot to download", this creates the problem. Turn off the phone. Go to download mode with Vol_Down+Bixby+Power and then press Vol_Up button. When I enter download mode like this, it flashes without any problems.
