TWRP didn't work - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Now, I flashed TWRP onto my device (with flashify) and then It asked "flash more files or reboot" I did reboot and when it rebooted it went straight into recovery booting. and I get this:
System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your tablet. Please turn off your tablet and go to the nearest AT&T store for help
Now me being lazy I thought I could get out of recovery boot and just fix it somehow.
No every time I turn it off. When it turns on it is recovery booted.
This MAY be technical help but I know that it was normal TWRP and if there is a way to not just be recovery booted so I can fix it.
system info: SM-T337A
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4
I may have used the wrong TWRP for it but I made sure it was "Samsung Tab 4 (all versions)" on flashify
Tell me if it is technical problems and should be deleted.

Brick and Restart Loop no Download

Hi,
I was on a rooted android 4.4.2 official, when i tried to install custom recovery using Flashify.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
There was the Secure booting error and booted normaly.I found out that this was not possible so i quit.
Today a got an update from LG so i installed it. The phone rebooted giving the Secure booting error, and it stayed black screen.
Googling i found this tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
I folowed it but i thought since my phone had problem with it's recovery, just flashing the recovery.img would be ok.
I restarted the phone bat it would not start. It desplays the lg logo restarts, lg logo restarts.
I can boot the recovery but it does not work. When i press recover it just restarts.
I cant boot download mode or anything else, i have been googling the hole day.
I would apricciate your help. It is a one month old phone.....
Thanks

are u stuck in cmw recovery??
Stock recovery.... :/
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Free mobile app
Same Problem here! Exact Same
Also having this issue, stuck in the secure boot loop, can't get to download mode.
Im exactly the same - im stuck in TWRP and cant boot into Download mode at all - just get the LG Bootscreen then straight into TWRP Recovery no matter what i do
Did we all except some kind of update from LG........ i wonder if this the link here and is now a common problem?
Mine was this and i thought it was just an app update for the stock apps and now im stuck big time
Any luck guys or solutions then please post here so we can keep it together and help each other!
Yeah I got an OTA update for my D803-Bell model, upon restart entered the secure boot error loop.
Sounds like, via this thread that it's commonly happening to people who had TWRP or CWM (or even aborted / possibly never completed installs like me) got nailed.
As per that thread, and everything else, I've tried every option possible -- no download mode. Recovery mode doesn't restore anything, just resterts to lg logo -> secure boot error -> black screen. Shows as QSHSUSB_BULK in windows/linux, and I can see those 25 partitions in linux (but reflashing openrecoverytwrp__.img over the recovery partition didn't help. I'm waiting to find out how I can make my own copies of those various partitions listed, from another D803-Bell model I have access to. All the D803 .img files on those links in that thread, appear to not contain D803 Bell stuff, just Telus, Rogers, etc... so I'll likely have to source my own.
I just took a shot in the dark recommended by a friend -- and fixed my phone.
I zeroed out the 'fota' partition on the phone. As seen in this thread ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Just did a dd if=/dev/zero overtop of the fota partition, which was 25 for me from my linux box. One quick power cycle later, and I'm fully functional again, and the OTA update that killed me is still showing as available again.

Help needed! Soft-bricked s5

I decided to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 today which was totally successful. I was able to update SuperSu and install Busybox. So, here is when everything went downhill. I wanted to install a custom recovery (used the unofficial twrp) and flashed it through Odin. It confirmed "PASS!" at the end of it and was excited to start finally installing roms on this bad boy. But after it re-booted it went to recovery & something "over-ridden" it in red text. Can't remember word for word but the screen said "[email protected] something software not allowed" so I tried pulling the battery, and that didn't work so I just used the un-brick guide to flash it back to stock. Once again, Odin confirmed "PASS!" after I downloaded the correct firmware for my phone. But now my phone doesn't boot correctly, it's stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S5," "powered by android" screen. There is a unlocked lock and has the word "Custom" under it. The phone vibrates when turned on, recovery and download can be accessed, it even makes the [email protected] boot sound but dosen't boot to the setup. I'm very confused and stuck with what to do. Sorry for the essay but I wanted to put everything I did so it can help you guys out on my situation too.
Flash a stock ROM from sammobile .com with ODIN, instructions under the ROM download

[SOLVED] Can not install TWRP [#failed to open recovery] Help!

[ORIGINAL POST] - solution further down - (TLDR do not reboot into system after flashing recovery)
Hi,
I'm trying to install TWRP but when i've flashed PDA via ODIN and reboot into recovery, this is what i get. [see images] https://imgur.com/a/zfdvs
TWRP file from TWRP website: 'twrp-3.2.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar' for Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Exynos) (dream2lte)
As this did not work i tried to flash new BL and CP and then i retried to install TWRP, no luck.
Can you please help me! Thanks!
I also tried flashing TWRP (another version just to be safe) via heimdall, but that didnt work either. The enitire prosess is fine, but when i reboot into recovery i still get to the same page. [see images above]
[SOLUTION]
*Do not* boot into system after flashing recovery (TWRP), instead, make sure to boot directly into recovery.
Apparently Samsung Reinstalls recovery when you boot into system after flashing TWRP (or any other recovery for that matter). I do not know if it's like this for all Samsung devices or only the S8, but that's the way it is.

I had the same problem and found instructions to press volume down + bixby + power and then start the Odin load. The load went fine but my phone locked up at the Samsung Logo screen. I tried getting back to the download mode but the screen went black. Now the phone will not power on at all. Exceedingly frustrating.
I've spent 2 hours trying to work out what did I do wrong (checking hashes, odin version, etc) and the simple solution was to boot into recovery right away after flashing via Odin. Thanks!

I've followed different procedures but basically use ODIN to push TWRP to my SP-580. After that, the tablet reboots. I disconnect the cable and power the tablet down. I then hold VOLUME DOWN and VOLUME UP and connect the cable again. But instead of going into recovery mode, it just shows me the percent charged dial. I can get no further than that and have done that at least 15 times. HELP???? Thank you!!

Android Device SM-T230 stuck in TWRP BootLoop

hey guys!
I tried to root my Tab 4 and failed... got stuck on a screen saying that a system upgrade got an issue. Then I downloaded the TWRP Recovery Data and booted this on my device. Now I'm outta the last screen but can't exit TWRP. Neither can I enter my System, I'm stuck. Trying to hard reset is also not an option and even odin doesn't even recognices it even more... Please somebody help me!

Stuck at Teamwin screen

Hello everyone,
I flashed teamwin today and afterwards lineagos. All worked like a charm. However, I tried getting root access using this tutorial (
), but there was an error message when I installed the "no-verity" zip. I rebooted it, all went normal and after another restart it now is stuck at the teamwin page.
I can go into download modus, but flashing teamwin again, does not result in any changes. Teamwin version is 3.6.2_9-0.
What can I do?
Thanks
Since I can't turn it of (I have to either go into download mode or get stuck at the twrp screen), I would really appreciate fast help
E: Fastboot and adb unfortunatelly don't seem to work, because the phone is not listed when I type "adb devices".
E2: I downloaded the "latest" Firmware from Sammobile, Flashed (only) the AP file (2,6 GB), choose "Auto-reboot" in Odin and after the reboot I managed to get into the normal bootloader -> Wipe cache and factory reset.
After restart Android 8 started to get set up.
If you encounter this: Be careful and make sure your battery is charged! Because when stuck in bootload it gets hot and apperently drains the battery quite fast.
