If you'll flash the firmware completely, then the folder with the firmware file you want to delete Checksum.ini otherwise it will not allow you to flash the new recovery and boot. To sew together with the firmware, then take out the applied archive files recovery.img and boot.img and replace the files in the folder with the firmware.

[Q] n900w8 Won't boot into recovery mode

A few months ago I rooted my N900w8, installed custom recovery (cwm), and flashed Android L. Today I tried to update the recovery, planning on updating the ROM as well. But now no custom recovery works at all, even the one I had running before. When trying to boot into recovery it says booting recovery... like it should, and then the screen just goes blank, then the phone restarts. Sometimes getting stuck in a bootloop trying to boot to recovery, but usually just regularly booting and boots normally to Android L. So now I am unable to update my ROM because not a single custom recovery has worked and therefore I cant flash the .img files. Please Help!

I had the same issue except when I try to load recovery it would "forward" itself to download mode.
This may work for you, try re-flashing the latest CWM update with Odin. Place your phone in download mode by powering it off and holding Volume Down + Home + Power. Press volume up to proceed.
1. Download and extract
2. Run Odin as Administrator (Download if you don't have already)
3. Select CMW file from your download folder and place it in the "AP" section.
4. Start
When finished, Reboot holding Volume UP + Menu + Power Button. Vola!
Let me know if this works for you.

Yeah depending on which recovery I flash it'll either forward to download mode, get stuck in a boot loop trying to start recovery, or restart and load the ROM.
Unfortunately it still isn't working :/ I used the tool from this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269) to convert the .img to a flashable odin file. Used the proper Canadian touch recovery (also tried recovery without touch) from this page (https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager) and no luck. Tried to enter recovery mode, it says entering recovery mode, goes black for a few seconds, vibrates then restarts the phone in regular boot mode :/ Any more idea's?
Do I need to be flashing a recovery that supports Android 5.0.2 for it to work? Im so puzzled.

YES!! Finally I was able to get a TWRP 2.8.5.0 working. Downloaded latest version from the main TWRP site and flashed using ODIN, did not use the converting tool above, downloaded the TWRP as a .tar flashable file from their site. Thanks for the help!
Do I need to close this thread or anything? This is my first time posting on xda

Congratulations on solving your own problem! ^_^
I just figured to share my part when i experienced the same issue. I feel like it has somehow corrupt itself after it finished flashing which results in an empty directory for the recovery mode.

After installing "[root] CF.lumen" on YU Yureka (CM11) phone get bricked.

Hi,
After installing "[root] CF.lumen" of Chainfire on YU Yureka (CM11), phone get bricked. I did normal installation of this app, and after reboot my phone never returned normal. Each time I start, it get stuck in bootloop and all I am getting is logo of YU with Powered by Android written at the bottom of it.
I did not understand the reason of this soft brick with this application, can anybody help me to fix my YU yureka so that I can reuse it OR it just got damaged ??
So far I have tried flashing it with the following steps, but none of the methods worked: ->
Method 1: http://www.thetechnotriad.com/393/how-to-unbrick-yu-yureka/
Steps To Flash Factory Firmware –
Extract the flashtools zip in a new folder on the desktop.
Extract the factory firmware zip in the same folder and make sure that all of the flashtools files are also present.
Now, power off your phone. If you are stuck in a bootloop, then pull out the battery and reinsert it. (Do not switch on the phone.)
While pressing the Volume Up key, connect your phone to the PC with the help of a USB cable.
You should now see the fastboot logo on your device. If you did, leave the Volume Up key. (If you do not see the logo, retry the process.)
Now go to the folder where you extracted the flash tools and factory firmware and run the flash-all.bat by double clicking on it.
A command window will open and the flashing procedure will start. (Make sure that your device does not disconnect from your PC during the procedure.)
The command window will automatically close once the procedure is completed.
Disconnect your device and boot it up by pressing the Power button. (Since this is first boot after flashing the firmware, it may take upto 5 minutes.)
Method 2 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/orig-development/rom-t3042384
How To Install:
i) Place the ROM zip in the device.
ii) Reboot to your Custom Recovery CWM/TWRP/Philz.
iii) Wipe Cache, Data and System.
iv) Install the ROM Zip .
v) No need to flash Gapps, Gapps already present in system by default.
vi) The system is unrooted as its unmodified, so you might wanna install SuperSU for root access. Download and intall SuperSU.
LINK: SuperSU
vii) Reboot.

Please please help me to recover my phone, I would really appreciate your help.

[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!!

Hi,
I have Samsung Tab E 8.0 (SM-T377W) and I can not root it in these ways!

i also have this exact model of tablet and ive been trying to install twrp so i can root but no avail. ive tried using a few methods to root like kingroot,kingoroot and framaroot and several others which have all failed. I have latest samsung and adb drivers installed. when trying to flash twrp to tablet it successfully flashes but i dont know when to boot into recovery mode. several different rooting guides(sm-t377w rooting guides) for this model have mentioned booting into recovery mode but all specified different times to hold the buttons down such as booting into recovery mode right before the end of flashing with auto-reboot selected or fully powering off without auto-reboot selected then pressing power, home and volume down then power, home and volume up as soon as "a blank screen" is seen. also get a "no command" screen right it goes into stock recovery when not flashing but idk if thats important. i just want to install twrp so i begin working on a root or find another method to root this tablet so i can remove bloatware and look into possible overclocking. anything that will free up resources so i will have less lag when i use it. any help is greatly appreciated. after a full week of attempting and fixing one brick im beginning to give u hope.

You cannot use the stock recovery to flash anything except stock roms or updates to stock roms.
Follow these instructions to get started. I copied these from y2k-inc if you want to thank him.
Easily done if you follow the rooting guide for the 6.0.1 ... anyway, here's how.
Download Odin (version 10.12.x) and then download TWRP into the same folder:
https://dl.twrp.me/gteslte/twrp-3.2....e.img.tar.html
Now donwload Super User: https://download.chainfire.eu/1220/S...etrieve_file=1
Run Odin (preferred in Admin mode) and load : twrp-3.2.0-0-gteslte.img.tar into the AP.
Put your Tablet into Download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power and then Vol Up), connect to your PC and Hit Start on Odin.
Wait for it to fully reboot and Power it Off, now reboot into Recovery mode (Vol Up + Home + Power), once in TWRP, copy Super User file into the Download folder of your Tablet, select Install from TWRP and install Super User. Reboot and enjoy Root
You can also flash after market roms in TWRP.
If you are on a later ROM (Android 9 or 10) you will be better off rooting with Magisk.
If you need help with any of this, do a detailed google search for it and select the XDA link for your best info.
