TWRP Recovery issue

I have a galaxy s4 i337m rooted and already installed twrp recovery via goomanager. When I enter into recovery mode and try to reboot into system, it shows Samsung logo but then it enters again into recovey. The only way to get back its flashing again the stock firmware via odin. Any help??!!

Did you get the correct recovery for that device from the website? Seems to me you flashed one of the other recoveries.
odin would be the only solution.

tried everywhere please help
its a grand 2 duos
model SM-G7102
4.4.2
baseband ver G7102DDUBNK1

Please Help Very Frustrated.

hello guys,
i bought a used galaxy s5 from someone running Poland Android lollipop 5.0 and it shows the model as SM-G900F When i try to root it with CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedx-smg900f It gets stuck on the boot screen saying
"1. RECOVERY BOOTING (in blue),
2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red)
3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow)"
i googled alot and flashed Phillz recovery which removed the error above but when i go to recovery its the stock recovery? .... I cant install twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar Either because after flashing it when i go to recovery its stock recovery again. Activation lock is off, SE for Android status is "enforing" does this mean this phone has a locked bootloader? Maybe this phone was on At&T, Sprint or Verizon and the last owner flashed 900f firmware on it to make it look carrier free but it maybe a carrier phoone? Please help me i am very very frustrated right now. i dont even know what recovery is seandroid enforcing means.....:crying::crying::crying:

Ok guys, try this.
1. Download philz kernel that matches your modem number. I think philz_touch_6.26.6-klte.tar.md5 works good.
2. Put it in ODIN on PDA/AP
3. Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and make sure Re-Partition is NOT CHECKED (keep F. Reset time)
4. Flash
5. It will say RESET on Odin and nothing further when it is done so just wait 2-3 minutes when RESET appears to be entirely sure that the procedure is done.
6. Pull out phones battery.
7. Put it back in and now go into Recovery directly (Vol up+home+power)
8. ???
9. Profit
Hopefully this might work, i think i did the same

You need to just boot into download mode (voldown+home+power) then push volup to enter download mode
Use Odin to flash trwp 2.8.6.0 tar file in AP spot
Download a pre rooted rom of your choice for g900f
Place on sd card
Reboot to twrp by holding volup+home+power immediately during start of boot
Flash the rom you just downloaded
Now you'll be rooted
(That's what I did in order to get my phone rooted after installing the newest stock lollipop ota)

Common bro
u haven't rooted your device,
u have to flash the supersu zip to get the root access
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
first download this file and place it in your device storage,once u pull the battry off and put it back in go straightly to the recovery
select install zip and flash the supersu.zip
then reboot it,after the first boot then go to the recovery and
install your custom rom

I followed instructions given earlier to install philz recovery, i opened it by booting into it immediately i selected format for new rom install. after that i am stuck on samsung logo i think the old rom is now deleted. Now i am downloading fresh 5.0.2 UK from sammobile i will download it and try to root it normally with flashing CF ROOT via odin. if it does not work then i will do what u guys said. I dont know if TWRP will work by the same method (booting immediately into recovery) but philz recovery did. And i will also try flashing a prerooted Rom. What i dont understand is that why is this happening in the first place? i had an alpha before i could enter into TWRP normally i rooted it with CF AUTO root normally...no errors or anything why is this happening on my S5? the last owner must have done something weird with it ...i am trying to figure out why is this happening in the first place. Appreciate ur feedback.

I also dont know why this is happening
and yeah
i had all the galaxy S series upto S5 and this the only device that is not rooting with CF-auto root
the latest updates from samsung may have done something i dnt knw
and eralier mentioned method worked 100% for me and i did root my device like that
And last owner may b or may not done anything with it because my device is a brand new and still i had that issue

Phone stuck in bootloop after flashing root using Odin

Hi guys! I need help! I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 (sm-g900h) and everytime I flash the CF Auto Root file (CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.tar.md5) using Odin, I always end up in bootloop. I always fix this problem by flashing the stock rom. I don't know what is the problem but any solution will be helpful. Thanks in Advance :good::fingers-crossed:

did you enable usb debugging ? and maybe try to uncheck the auto reboot at odin and after you flash and pass , just removed your battery a while then plug it again then turn it on...
i use the same file for root but it's work and for some user it's cause bootloop....

You don't need USB debugging enabled for CF AR

OP - Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/root-sm-g900h-android-5-0-t3291620

I enable usb debugging. I also tried to flash with auto reboot unchecked, but whenever i boot it to recovery mode i always end up stuck in samsung logo with powered by android under it.

USB Debugging is only for when you are booted into Android, not for download mode

I'll try the link that you sent me. Thanks for the reply ?

Before I started rooting, I tried flashing cwm custom recovery but no luck. I can't boot to stock recovery. I waited for 30sec but it just stay in samsung logo with powered by android under it. Please help..

Why you trying to boot into stock recovery?
Flash a stock ROM again, then follow the instructions on the link I posted
Start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64771853&postcount=3

I disable USB debugging then tried flashing TWRP recovery via Odin. After flashing, I remove the battery then boot into the recovery and waited for 30 seconds but the phone is still stuck with the samsung logo. I will try to clean flash stock recovery and try flashing again the custom recovery.

I successfully flashed CWM recovery but the problem is, the recovery can't detect my storage. Internal nor external. What seems to be the problem this time? :crying:

You flashed CWM instead of TWRP like the link I posted told you to do

Somehow, i've managed to root it using CWM recovery. What's the difference though?

TWRP is much more powerful

Yes for G900H TWRP better than cwm

Twrp recovery for Samsung Grand Prime

There are soo many variants of samsung galaxy grand prime and therefore I'm confused to find twrp recovery for my phone.
My phone details.
Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime
SM G530H
Baseband version : G530HXCU1BPB1
Someone please help me to find stable twrp recovery for my device.
Also tell me what happens if I installs twrp recovery of other variat of samsung grand prime.

Hi
You have Fortunve3g , you have to flash Fortuna3g's Twrp because there isn't any Twrp for fortunve3g.
https://dl.twrp.me/fortuna3g/twrp-3.4.0-0-fortuna3g.img.tar
But after flashing this with Odin or whatever , you should flash this one with Twrp ( pitch black recovery for fortunve3g ):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/unofficial-pbrp-grand-prime-t4048881/amp/
If you install the wrong recovery, when you boot the phone into recovery, your phone will go into download mode. Of course, this does not happen in some close models, but some errors will happen during the installation of custom roms .

If I install twrp fortuna3g recovery will it run stable and why should i need to flash black pitch recovery using twrp fortuna3g recovery.
BTW I've downloaded this file

Will it work or I should try your method?
