Which TWRP are you trying to flash?
If it is the latest version, then try an older one.
Alternatively, you can try to root your phone first with CF-Auto-Root and Odin (just Google CF-Auto-Root S4) then use an app to flash the TWRP .img file.
That's how I did it, because I was also unsuccessful in flashing TWRP with Odin.

I was using TWRP 3.0.2...
...tried with version 3.0.1 and I was able to enter in TWRP Recovery mode but after swiping the phone I'm no more able to access recovery mode neither by reflashing TWRP.
Any idea?

The app method worked. Auto root ok. Twrp flashed ok. HTC 6 installed... it's more than one hour in the booting screen (devconnect aosp 6.0 screen)... I don't think it's a normal behaviour... do I have to keep on waiting? Do You have any suggestion?

You installed a 4.3 recovery on a 4.4 phone.
Most likely you downloaded the TWRP on the main page and did not download the latest 4.4 compatible one.
Please flash this in Download Mode: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hlte-recovery.img.tar
To get into Download Mode, remove the battery, wait a few minutes then put it back, Hold the Download Mode Combination then it would boot directly into Download Mode.
hey nicho, thank you very much
so that was the trick. REMOVE THE BATTERY --> PRESS THE DOWNLOAD KEYS AND HOLD THEM --> THEN ENTER THE BATTERY BACK.
it costed me the whole day yesterday searching for a solution.
at least now I can continue to install a new rom
Thanks man
TWRP
during twrp it told me, there was a newer one. 2.x.x.9
so stupid me, if I had sticked to the plan, nothing would happend.
I used twrp b4 some days ago, for my samsung note 10.1 (2014) without trubbles,
I guess, I overread something
but I'm happy it is all fixed now.
thx for show ur interest
greetz, fred
thank you

Solution To Loop SM-N900P
I am new to XDA and have only been with android for 6 months but i figure this will help new comers to this issue. Power+Volume Down+Home at the same time to enter download mode. Flash CWM via ODIN. This should work to fix the loop. I found out the hard way but it only took me an hour. I am not sure if this will work if you have not already rooted your phone but it should (since this is the major step in rooting). I believe i deleted my CWM file (accidentally) when i was trying to clear space for my recovery with ROM Manager. Be sure to download the Samsung drivers if you had not already done so during the rooting process.
Hope this helps.
Gives me same error message
But after that it boots into recovery.
Should I proceed installing custom rom or is there anything else to be taken care of
Thanks!
Thank you very much,you save me a lot of trouble.

Based on my experience, using rom manager to flash recovery always results in a problem. I suggest you use odin to flash this in download mode.
Btw, 4.4.2 is Kitkat

should I root my phone first using cf-root. Then flash the cwm recovery. What happens if I get stuck in a bootloop after flashing the recovery

The way I did this is, first install the cwm recovery then flash cf-root after. You can always use odin to flash back the original firmware.

Just make sure reactivation lock is off.
When you first start odin, F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are ticked off so let them be and make sure only those are checked and nothing else.
You probably know this but just to make sure, load the recovery on the AP slot before hitting start.

Does this affect why I can not root my device?

Finally I reinstall stock firmware from SAM Mobile, but same results. somehow trying to install TWRP is refused when entering recovery mode.
If I disable in Odin reboot option and carefully enter to recovery avoiding the system to restore the old recovery, It will no enter recovery mode until I let the phone show the telco logo and then I get original recovery.
As something new I noticed USB debugginf ius disable to turn it ON/OFF. This is a mobile phone in a company plan with the local telco. Maybe it is restricted to root or to install another firmware.
I give up... I appreciate comments on this...
when you finish the flash of the TWRP file for J110M you must be hold the vol up and home until the phone reboot twice, the second reboot enter to the TWRP mode
I have the j110m and the way to get TWRP to work is to try both versions. 3.0.0.0 got stuck on the boot and never got me into recovery it always went to the provider logo. I tried the other one (2.XX) with ODIN, had auto reboot ticked off, and just like the guy above said wait till the second boot. Voila
---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------
by the way, is there any chance in seeing Cyanogenmod on this? Im looking and looking but I cant find anything. Just one post where some guy wants to port CM 12 but no one has responded to his post yet.

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)

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

I have the same phone. It took me a long time to get a twrp file that worked. Also I am using a custom rom called Nemisis Refined with the Prime kernel and I love my phone. There is a different kernel you can you use too but I haven't tried it yet its called Spacelemon.

thanks for the info , it helped me a lot ,
one note i need to mention , for those of you trying to flash it using odin , un-tick the auto reboot option in odin , because this will cause the phone to reboot normally , and this will remove the custom recovery ,
you just need to reboot is manually after flashing it, just remove the battery , then boot immediatelly to recovery mode by pressing power + home + volume up
if you do it correctly , custom recovery will install it self permanently on your phone ,
I recently upgraded my phone software from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1 and i need to download xposed again and when i searched online it showed that i need to download twrp and i tried this method using adb

but after entering the step 4 ,the command control just "showed a searching for device message" .
i had also tried via odin but recovery did'nt show up when i pressed volumeup+power+home . just a bunch of letters on the top right corner . Pls help me (i am a noob)

How did you flash TWRP? You confirmed that the model # of the phone is sgh-i337m?
I could never get the fastboot instructions in the original post to work since all Samsung phones (non-Google Play versions) I have used did not support fastboot commands.

Flashing TWRP with Odin on a phone running a stock ROM will replace the stock recovery; however, if auto reboot is selected in Odin, rebooting the phone after flashing TWRP will cause the stock recovery or overwrite TWRP and this is one reason some people uncheck auto reboot.
I suggest starting over by flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com with Odin 3.07.

Did you try flashing different versions of TWRP? I suggest starting with 2.87. You can then use TWRP itself to flash newer zip versions.
