Grand Prime Duos stuck on TWRP - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I really need help.
I was about to reinstall my OS (I was currently running 5.0.2 (G530HXCU1BOI2 to be more specific).
I proceeded to reboot on recovery mode to wipe as usual (I use TWRP 2.8.7.0) but this time I tried the format tool. But something unusual happened: I can't access bootloader to install my clean ROM.
I tried to reboot to Bootloader on TWRP but Odin doesn't detect it. (It's like the bootloader but without the Android logo. Instead, it shows the brand and name like a normal boot)
What can I do? is it hard bricked?
P.D: I can still access recovery, only that.
P.D.D: I tried to get to bootloader with Vol up+Power buttons but it doesn't work. This brings me back to recovery.
EDIT:
If someone can make a recovery file in order to make the phone to boot, it might help.

Power off your phone, hold Volume Down and Power key, when a screen appears to confirm press Volume Up, now connect to PC/Odin
It does not work?

[Q] TWRP: "custom recovery" not working anymore, TWRP not starting

Hi there,
I wanted to install latest CM10.1 coming from 0526 yesterday on my Defy+.
Did a backup with TWRP first.
Then the flashing failed, so I wanted to recover from backup.
Phone now is stuck at Motorola M not booting anymore.
When I enter bootloader (vol down) and want to enter "custom recover" he just jumps back to the same menu. TWRP is not starting.
Choosing "stock recovery" is possible, but if I choose a CM10.1 zip file it's not accepted.
RSD Lite does not recognize the phone when it's in the bootloader menu or in the stock recover menu.
Help is very much appreciated, what can I do?
Thanks and best regards.

Okay, I found out why I couldn't enter flash mode by using Vol+ when starting.
The phone powered already up when I put in the battery, so I always pushed Vol+ too late.
Pressing Vol+ WHILE inserting the battery did the trick, phone went into flash mode and I could re-flash 2.3.6 sbf using RSD lite.
[Idiot mode=off]
Still not sure why TWRP was messed up just by recovering from a TWRP-made backup...
Best regards
Same situation to me.
I opened Terminal Emulator, gained root access
then type below command to get recovery mode
# reboot recovery
Custom recovery not running
I have a similar issue.
I rooted my stock S4 and installed the proper TWRP.
Heres where my situation is a bit different from anything I have seen on the forum threads. All attempts—both hard and soft—to reboot into recovery, all direct the reboot to Odin Mode. Just to clarify I have not flashed any rom custom or stock, the only thing I have flashed has been TWRP and CWM recovery. And I only flashed CWM AFTER the Failings of TWRP.
When I attempt to boot into recovery, it flashes the blue characters then sends me into a Odin Mode loop until I hard-key the "download mode" and select restart to boot the os normally.
my phone works fine other than not being able to flash custom roms, which is a pain in the arse especially with all the s4 Bloatware.
Here's what I have done so far to help myself:
• install CWM recovery
• tried hard-key reboot recovery (power off/ press home/volume up/power)
• soft reboot recovery through both Goo, CWM and ROM Toolbox pro
• removed my sd card and tried reboot recovery
• removed battery and reboot recovery
• emulator reboot recovery
• reboot recovery both with and without usb cable
I looked into flashing stock with Odin but all tutorials i could find were of an older version and I didnt want to guess what I needed to get that to work,
Please let me know if theres anything I can do.

Downgrade brick

I have tried to update to nougat but the camera didn't work even after restoring product_v3 on my l31. I tried to downgrade using the suggested oeminfo and b151 rom.
Now i just get the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted screen". At the bottom it says "Your device is booting now..." but it never boots.
I can't install anything via dload method as three button combo just boots to this screen. Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen... Can't boot to fastboot but thinking maybe that's because the phone won't actually switch off.
I've left it for ages and it's still stuck on the same screen.
Any ideas?
vns-l31 ? l21?
Disconnect the usb cable from the pc, turn off hisuite.
Reconnect the usb cable to the pc to see if it starts.
If it starts not to turn off.
Reset bootloader with fastboot or toolkit 0.0.0.8.
Started fastboot or toolkit0.0.0.8, plugged the usb cable and hold depressed volume - and power. He should go.
Code bootloader and twrp meticulus
L31 as I stated above and the phone is stuck on booting screen. Won't turn off and won't boot to fast boot I've already tried.

Thanks but that app just flashes partitions in fastboot. If I could get into fastboot I could flash partitions anyway

Have you tried volume down pressed whilst connecting to pc?
Yes of course but it just reboots to the same screen not the fastboot screen.

Sorry if it was a silly question to ask...went through all this myself earlier (except mine would power off...) but you said "Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen..." that's pretty much what mine did and I thought myself "why can't I get into fastboot", but power off and then [*without pressing power* vol down whilst connecting usb] worked.
If I restart my phone from the power menu and then immediately press vol down and connect to pc it boots to fastboot so it doesn't need to be powered off :good: but it does need to be connected to pc with the required drivers installed.
Finally got fastboot working and bootloader is unlocked but can't get anything to boot. Neither MM TWRP or Revolution TWRP will boot up.
Not sure where to go.
I've even tried extracting B151 and B161 and manually flashing boot recovery cust and system in fastboot but still no boot up...

Bootloader, twrpmeticulus, wipe, check all and wipe, install c432oeminfo.zip badwolf (see htcmania), turn off, restart with Dload b130,I read is b130 is best, b150, b160, b161. No matter it works all for me.
Strange thing is whenever i flash meticulous twrp it won't boot. I've tried through revolution recovery and by fastboot!
I can now actually get revolution twrp to boot but it doesn't mount system properly so won't flash anything at all.

Can be the end of the tutorial ultimate guide fo nougat
7.in recovery go to reboot-> reboot bootloader
8.flash stock nougat's recovery with fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQ...RYVXdKaU0/view (thanks to @algnerd )
9. reboot to recovery and do a factory reset (if you dont do that your phone will fall in a bootloop)
I think i've seriously messed it up now can't access anything again now just stuck at Your device is booting now... again after trying downgrade method again...
Yeah completely broken now no fastboot, no operating system, no recoveryand no dload. Just boots up to Your device has been unlocked etc and Your device is booting now...
Try to boot one more time to bootloader holding vol down and plugging usb without powering up phone. Then you need to flash twrp for nougat and flash oeminfo trough adb sideload. Do not reboot your phone after this, it won't start. Go back to and copy any app file (for example b160) then try to boot to bootloader and flash boot, recovery and system from nougat app file. Reboot phone holding all 3 buttons, it gonna take a while to boot and it should flash the system properly.
Literally can't get bootloader at all now all i get is the your device is booting now screen and nothingness...
Seriously messed up first phone i've ever bricked and i've been around android since my htc tattoo a LONG time ago
Made the mistake of paying for Phoenix DC as well but that's no use without bootloader mode so waste of 15 euros.
And now i get fastboot again but it says frp lock. DC Phoenix has flashed b151 and b161 but neither boots.
Dload method still fails...
So if now u can get to fastboot, u must unlock bootloader again (frp lock) flash twrp for nougat, copy app file to dload folder, flash oeminfo via adb sideload etc. Look at my previous post.
Send me a message, maybe i can help you..

Trouble flashing TWRP

Hi, everyone.
I have a galaxy s8 SM-G950FD. I have once flashed TWRP and rooted the device successfully.
Then I tried to install a custom ROM but I got bootloop.
After that, I flash official ROM to unbrick my device. But since then, whenever I tried to flash TWRP again I got this message "Verification failed unable to restart your device the integrity verification has failed. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data."
My device is still working fine but I want to try to flash a new ROM (even if I may brick my device forever). I don't know what to do. Can you guys give me some advice ?
Thank you!
It's quite a simple fix I think: You need to make a backup of the Data partition and then do a wipe using TWRP. This happens because TWRP cannot handle Samsung's Encryption; the only way to bypass this problem is by formatting once again.

But I cannot boot into TWRP. How can I do that ?
If you're stuck in the bootloop you should press the force reboot key combination: Power Down + Home + Power. After the device restarts switch the Volume Down key for the Volume Up key right after the screen goes blank. That should get you into TWRP (if it's correctly installed), otherwise directly into the stock recovery.

I cant flash/get into TWRP. I tried to boot into stock recovery and do a system wipe/factory reset. Then I flash TWRP again but nothing seem to happen. I tried to boot into recovery and it get me to the stock recovery not TWRP.I did unlock OEM, used Odinv3.12, twrp-3.1.1-2-dreamlte.img.tar.
I had the same issue.
After Odin has flashed the Recovery it performs an auto reboot (if checked in Odin). So at this reboot hold Vol up + Home + Power as soon the screen goes of. You need to be quick. Then it should boot into TWRP.
True, Samsung's stock recovery is very persistent lately and if you tick the auto-reboot you have to be very fast in switching to Recovery mode combo.
Otherwise you can choose not to tick auto-reboot, force restart the device after the TWRP flashing was successful and immediately switch to the Recovery combo.
Here you go: two ways of doing this.

Cant boot into TWRP

Hello, ive unlocked my bootloader on my h870 and ive flashed twrp. when ive just flashed it i was able to boot into twrp but now everytime i try to boot into it it wil wipe all my data with the stock lg recovery mode can someoneone please help me? Thanks! Just got the phone a few hours ago
You have to install a custom rom or root to make twrp permanent, if you don't do that it will install always after the first boot the stock recovery.

You need to reflash twrp with the bootloader like the first time.

When you have flashed twrp, you do the buton combination to enter twrp, if you fail to enter twrp a the phone boots into system the stock recovery will be reflashed so you have to reflash twrp.
Try making these:
When you are in the bootloader after flashing twrp press button down+ power button. When the screen turns off quickly stop pressing power button and quickly press again until the lg logo appear.
When the lg logo appear stop pressing power button, quickly press again and stop pressing the power button and press again quickly until you see twrp logo.
These method works for me for booting twrp easily
The stock recovery appears but you have to select the factory reset option and it will boot into TWRP

Unfortunately still not succeeded after trying all the solutions i've found here
Hey, i have the same Problem, my TWRP broke, i can't boot into recovery and my Device ist not listed in fastboot mode. Can someone help me out?
I get the ring in windows when i plugin but its not recognizing.. Can someone pls help me out?
Okay, I'm going to try to explain it, and see if I can succeed where others have not.
You install TWRP by booting to bootloader and using fastboot to push a new recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
It seems like you accomplished that successfully. The next step is to immediately boot to recovery; do not boot the phone to system first. You will get the factory prompts for wiping data, but it will not actually wipe your data this time. Instead it will boot to TWRP.
Now, while you are in TWRP, you need to either root (flash Magisk) or install a custom ROM. If you do not, your next boot to system will remove TWRP and restore the stock recovery. If that happens, then the data-wiping prompts the next time you boot to recovery are real and the phone will wipe. So you MUST - must must must - root or install a custom ROM while you have TWRP up, in order for TWRP to persist.
If you have already experienced this problem, you need to start over at the beginning; flash TWRP again, and then follow the rest of these directions.
Maybe this will help clear up the problem for you guys.

WTF is going on?
I have repeated the process many many times and always the same. What i am missing here?!?!?

Got the same problem. I unlocked Bootloader, checked if unlocked (yes). After flashing TWRP i see the TeamWin Screen and phone boot again. There is no TeamWin Menu.

With 3.2.1.0, 3.2.2.0 and 3.2.3.0 it only briefly shows the TWRP screen and then boots into system anyway.
With 3.1.1.0 the key combination to boot into TWRP as with the other versions above simply doesn't work, again it directly boots into system without even showing the TWRP screen.
I'm stuck with a resetted phone because of this bull****, because some instructions said "oh, the reset dialog will not really reset your data..." - yeah thanks for nothing, buddy.
So what now?
EDIT: I got it working using TWRP 3.1.1.0, but the same version from the OFFICIAL site didn't work, as I described above.
The only 3.1.1.0 TWRP that works with my phone is the one from this Link: http://downloads.codefi.re/rashed/g6/
(which is linked ... somewhere here in the Forum, don't remember which thread)

Wait until the batter completely dies then hold power + volumn down + home to get to download mode then flash stock firmware and that should fix it.
