Hey guys. I rooted perfectly with towel root and I'm ready for a custom ROM, but my question is can I go right to download mode and flash twrp or cwm from Odin or am I gonna have to reflash the stock rom, then flash cf autoroot and then a custom recovery ?

No, the recovery partition is independent. So you can simply use Odin from download mode to flash TWRP or whatever. You won't have to root again.
A custom recovery will increment Knox though if that matters to you i.e. some carriers and Samsung depots in North America may not honour your warranty in that case.
And then you would install a custom ROM from recovery mode (volume up + home + power).
.
I have a Note 4 - 910G (India) currently running 5.0.1
I have managed to root the device. I can confirm that I have root access with an app like root checker. And yes, I've managed to trip Knox. At the custom boot screen, it shows Knox status as 0x1 (4).
My problem is that I can't install TWRP or any other custom recovery. I have followed the usual steps to install a custom recovery with flashify, TWRP installer and adb commands. Each time I try, the device reboots into odin mode (high speed) mode only. I then have to flash a custom recovery with Odin and the device reboots. However, even then.. if I try to boot to a bootloader, it still goes into the odin mode.
Is my device completely borked? Can I still install TWRP and then CM12.x on the device?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I too have a note 4 sm-n910G. I think ur TWRP file is corrupted or you got the wrong file. It should be easy to get custom recovery. I rooted my Note 4 using CF auto root and it had CWM recovery which i tried to flash in Odin but it wasnt working. So i changed to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and it worked perfectly. Maybe try changing the TWRP file, or use a different one like CWM or philz recovery. Good luck...
I have tab 4 sm - t331 with android 5.1.1 and i rooted it but somehow it's failed because supersu wont install binary update and anyone can help me root the devices ?
Answers :
=>Use the one from here called sm-t331-Philz-6_58_9-recovery-FINAL.tar
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=23544
Download to your PC the Philz recovery tar file for the SM-T331 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-...-smnu-t2980094
Download to your tablet the SM-T331 rootable kernel from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-...table-t3164499
Download to your tablet the supersu v2.52 zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps...v2-05-t2868133
On your PC run Odin. Boot your tablet into download mode (home, vol-, power) and connect to PC with USB. In Odin disable the auto-reboot option, this is important. Flash the recovery. Once it's done flashing, you must boot your tablet into recovery (home, vol+, power), it should be Philz Touch CWM recovery. In recovery, first install the kernel zip, then the supersu zip. It might help to wipe cache at this point, I honestly can't say for sure. Obviously make sure you're doing this with at least 50% battery

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'm trying to install a custom Rom on my S3 Neo GT-I9300I. I can only install TWRP 2.7.10, the other versions didn't work for me and I always get into stock Odin page. I tried to install some custom Roms but when I install them always I get into Odin boot page with error (Could not do normal boot) and it seems that it cannot boot the device. I tried CM12, CM13, etc. Or maybe my TWRP is an old version.
I can only install Stock Rom with Odin software. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
Hello,
1. Step: Download the latest twrp from official twrp Homepage: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys3neo.html
2. Download the latest Odin
3. Open Odin set your phone in Download Mode (vol -, Power + homebutton). Push AP and search for the twrp.tar
4. Uncheck autoreboot and flash tar.
5. Directly go to recovery mode. Twrp should open now.
Make a backupvia twrp. Choose the custom rom you want and Install via twrp.
