Bricked SM-J500FN (After flashing TRWP) - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

So I rooted my Samsung Galaxy J5 (SM-J500FN) by flashing CF-Autoroot with ODIN, and then I wanted to flash TRWP so I could install XPosed Framework.
After flashing TRWP with no errors on ODIN, if I try to reboot normally or in recovery the screen slowly turns green?
I managed to get into Download mode and connected to ODIN, but I cannot flash a new ROM as you cannot flash .zip files. (I have a LineageOS rom and my Stock ROM with build number J500FNXXU1BQA4)

The screen turns green when you flash the wrong TWRP (not corresponding to your Android version) or when you flash Lollipop roms over Marshmallow and vice versa (except MM/N cm/aosp roms which must be flashed on LP).
You can flash only stock rom (.tar format file) with Odin.
TWRP for lollipop 5.1.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3468844 .
TWRP for Marshmallow 6.0.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j500f-t3416960 .
Flash the correct TWRP according to your Android version. I believe you must reflash stock rom with Odin first since you're screen is turning on, but try to flash the correct TWRP first and see if you get rid of your problem. If not, then reflash stock rom and then flash TWRP again.

Wow, thanks a lot.
The thread where I got the TWRP from didn't show that it was for 5.1.1, I flashed TRWP for 6.0.1 and my phone worked again and the TWRP works!
Thanks!!

Hi, I wrote it in ROM thread but here is maybe better.
I try to install custome ROM Omega 27.So I flashed stock ROM with android 5. Everythings works but now I wanted to flash custome recovery TWRP 2.8.7.0 for my LTE ROM and wanted to flash with Odin 3.09. And it didn't worked.
I browse twrp file to AP part in Odin and start to flash but it stops on beginning and nothing happens. I had to turn off Odin and tried it 5 times. Without success.
Pls. any suggestions?
Sorry , my bad, it was samsung drivers on computer.

no custom recovery after flashing UHOJ4 bootloader

Hi,
I had several problems with custom rom, so I went back to stock ROM (latest MOB version) to start everything new.
Now I got the problem that it is not possible to flash CWM or TWRP again (tried different versions to flash with odin). I also tried to get back to UHOL2 bootloader and modem, bootloader is now UHOL2 but also custom recovery not working.
Any ideas how to get TWRP working again?
Thx
Jürgen
Can you root it?
Then you might be able to use flashify to flash the recovery.img

Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin.
used CF Auto root - Phone Info says that root is working
which recovery.img should I try - CWM or TWRP doesn't matter for me
TWRP. CWM is outdated.
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin and removing battery was the solution!
Thx
Selecting auto reboot after flashing twrp causes the stock recovery to overwrite twrp and this is why the phone should be booted into twrp right after flashing.

flashing troubles

I'm having trouble flashing my P8lite with a custom rom, every rom I try twrp tells me it's for hi6210sft and my device is a p8litekirin.
Anyone know a fix for this, or point me in the direction of a rom that does work with p8litekirin?
(I can flash it with a stock rom but then I'd need to install TWRP again, as somehow latest stock firmware seems to overwrite and keeps overwriting custom recovery at every attempt I tried to install. Needed to do a rollback via adb to get twrp working again)
Thanks in advance
First of all before flashing any custom ROM on this device flash B896 first.
It's normal for the custom recovery to be replaced with stock one when you flash stock firmware.
After you flashed B896, reboot the phone into bootloader mode aka fastboot, flash twrp and then try to flash a custom rom of your choice.

SM-9005 could not do normal boot when flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0

Hello. I have SM-9005 and by mistake I flashed the latest TWRP (3.2.3.0) when it should be flashed the 2.8.7.0. Successfully I reverted to recovery and firmware stock, but when when I tried to flash again to use the TWRP 2.8.7.0 the phone enters in Odin mode and says it could not do normal boot. However, I always succeed in flashing the 3.2.3.0 version. From the file list my TWRP 2.8.7.0 is the hltexx version and still can't flash it.
Without that TWRP I can't instal the MAGMA roms. I tried installing older versions of TWRP but with no success. Any thoughts? Thanks.
P.S: already found the solution. Wrong TWRP

Unable to boot TWRP SMN-9005

i tried to flash twrp 3.0 on my smn9005 HLTE but when i try to boot recovery it says

<i tried twrp 2.8.7.0 it worked fine but i am not able to install any cutom rom
ANY really or just one or two ??
2.8.70 works fine on roms but not for later ports .( see multiple posts)
If you need a later twrp .
Flash 2.8.7.0 then through TWRP flash later TWRP zip.

When u flash new TWRP first time ,backup your efs (imei,modem).
Second with TWRP 2.8.7.0 u can only flash stock Samsung rom that have aroma support.
Only TWRP 3.2.3.0, this is the latest can flash Oreo ,pie ,nougat roms without issue. But remember u can't flash Samsung roms with this and u have to go back to twrp 2.8.7. Then go back to 3.2 if u wanna flash pie ect roms
Hi all
I can successfully flash twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar and boot into recovery.
But later TWRP,s dont boot.
JJEgan says to flash 2.8.70 and if you need a later twrp flash 2.8.7.0 then through TWRP flash later TWRP.zip.
Question is where can i get a zip of the latest TWRP. The official releases are either img or tar
Thanks

The Twrp are always .img.tar or .img or even apk from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.twrp.twrpapp. Anyway, i flashed twrp 3.2.3.0 from 2.8.7.0 ( the same one you had ) using Odin 3.11.1 without a single problem! Mybe the problem is just the Odin's version you used, have a look here too to better understand https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/. I hope you can solve it, good luck.
Thanks
When using 2.8.7.0 to flash latest TWRP.img, did you flash to boot or recovery? I get those choices after i select the file to flash. I assume recovery, right?
************ - -UPDATE - -*****************
Flashed img to recovery. All good, said flashing successful . . .but
Tried to reboot to new recovery but got the same boot loop.
Flashed 2.8.7.0 again using ODIN and 2.8.7.0. booted up just fine.
Re flashed 3.2.3.0 from 2.8.7.0. Again the same boot loop
Went back to 2.8.7.0 using ODIN. Booted up.
no idea what to do next
Thanks
I have same issues towards my hlte, twrp ver release later than what you indicated causes recovery boot loops, only 2.8 works. I cant even install custom rom due to unupdated twrp support.

You need to read first.
TWRP cannot flash Aroma based roms after 2.8 as per multiple posts .
Later android based roms use later TWRP 3 versions all posted .
