You need to plug your phone into the computer in download mode after that and using Odin on a PC flash twrp.IMG.tar file for your specific device but make sure to turn off auto reboot in Odin.
Then once the file flashes successfully you need to pull out the battery, put it back in and reboot to recovery before doing anything else. If you reboot the os first then it will delete twrp and revert back to stock recovery so make sure to boot to recovery first

hi, thank you for you kind reply. So you are talking to install a custom recovery ! will this procedure either unlock the BL? I do not remember if TWRP image files are downloadeble also in .tar format and from their official site? Awaiting your reply

Installing a custom recovery is unlocking your bootloader. It means the same thing.
Here is the latest twrp in .tar format for your device (j5008) https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/releases/releases/tag/TWRP-3.2.3-lineage-15.1_j8_20180921_j5ltechn

Are you sure that install a custom recovery will also unlock the bootloader? I don't think so! For me they are two different operation! Anyway my device is j510fn 2016 not j5008. Glad to start a conversation!

Lol . Installing custom recovery is only possible when you have unlocked bootloader .
unlock bootloader
I've tried to unlock bootloader on my j510fn via fastboot but when ever I plug in device to the pc and running adb command, it stuk in downloading mode like when you make odin the platform to install recovery.tar and official firmware to newst. In a few words I can't unlocking bl via bastboot even if I have oem unlocked in the dev options.

fast boot? You mean download mode?
There is no adb commands either this is a Samsung device you vacant unlock your bootloader by adb commands.
To unlock the boot loader download Odin to your PC.
Enable usb debugging and oem unlock in developer options of your phone.
Download twrp for your device from here https://github.com/Galaxy-MSM8916/releases/releases/tag/TWRP-3.2.3-lineage-15.1_j35_20180921_j5xnlte (j510fn)
Put the phone into download mode and connect to PC
Click the AP tab in Odin and find your twrp.zip.tar file.
Disable auto reboot in Odin.
Flash the file.
Pull out the battery
Reboot to recovery before rebooting the os and BANG unlocked bootloader with twrp installed

Thank you Sir, that's very clear explanation. And yes I was mind donwnload mode. Ok I'll try and I'll let you know for sure! Also I had read about samsung devices with different socs ( exinos and qualcomm) and only qualcomm soc need to be unlocked bootloader. By the way I'll follow your guide and I'm pretty sure I'll got my custm recovery installed. The only thing I would ask to you is if I need to upgrade samsung's stock firmare before installing twrp recovery or to install direct the custom recovery.tar file. Tha's it! Have a nice day. Thanks again in advance!

i had a galaxy j5 model j5008 CHN, but i can not enable OEM unlock. Because there is not OEM unlock checkbox in my phone Settings, maybe the OEM unlock checkbox is hidden by the OEM manufacturer. i want help.
Hi all,
Can anyone help me installing custom rom? or at least tell me what did I do wrong in my process?
Currently I am using stock Rom and try to install the new Rom from Link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-lte-sm-t285-t3548219
And for preparation, I installed newest Samsung USB Drive and Odin 3.10.7, and Rom from link above.
(I also unlock developer mode to check OEM blah blah after I did factory reset.)
At first, I downloaded newest version of Rom.
(Newest Rom from the link contains two img files (recovery and boot), not tar.md5 format. So I downloaded second newest file that has one tar.md5 format file)
Second, opened Odin with Admin, connect my galaxy tab that in the download mode.
Third, I checked whether it connected well or not in ID:COM area, and put Rom file in tar.md5 format to AP.
Finally, I pressed start button.
This is the step that I did to install the new Rom but after I pressed it, Odin shows fail.
And to be honest, I think I did correctly to install it but cannot understand why it does not work.
I tried to installed TWRP to root first, but Odin also showed me Fail so I changed to install custom ROM but the result was the same.
Is there any process that I missed?

Did you unlock the bootloader?
Unlock bootloader, root T285
Thank you for your reply!
error: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
this error message came up when I tried, so I just thought that I can skip it.
what should I do when I got this message??
And I thought the bootloader automatically unlock if I do OEM unlock thing, isn't it?

No, you have to manually unlock after setting OEM unlock.

But I still see the same result which is

the debugging mode and also unlocked OEM mode is on, but the same result.
Any idea why???
Is there specific mode that I need to go on for this command for tablet? I just connect table to laptop and type the code as post said....
Hello guys, I'm a beginner in this flashing stuff. I have watched youtube over a guy flashing Android 10 on his Samsung note 3. I carefully took his steps and i make sure that my model is compatible with said ROM, Mine is Samsung note 3 lte (N9005), Snapdragon. The issues that i am currently having is on flashing TWRP on my Samsung Note 3, because it won't boot on recovery mode despite i press the exact button as the Video describe, it just boots in recovery and then restarted on the same logo boot repeatedly. I have tried flashing LineAgeOs using the tutorial provided by LineAgeOs team and again, i make sure that the rom is fully compatible and still end up same result. Please help me on this issue. Thank you very much for giving your time reading my problems
Please describe your issue again with more details.
From you're post, it seems as though you are having issues with TWRP. Below I will give you a full tutorial on how to get TWRP up and running for your specific device. Do give this a go, as I have done the research for your specific model, and it should work just fine.
First things first, unlock your devices bootloader. You may not have done this correctly, so if it is possbile to boot into android, then try this:
How to unlock Bootloader on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 | Softstribe
Unlocking bootloader in Samsung Note 3 made easy and you can simply enable developers mode where you can perform OEM unlock.
softstribe.com
If you're bootloader is already unlocked, then proceed.
Now that the bootloader in unlocked, we need to install TWRP for your specific device. Your device is the N9005, which is the international snapdragon model. It's codename is hlte, or hlte*. For TWRP, it is also categorised as the Europe/American model (hltexx).
For flashing TWRP correctly to a samsung device, we will need odin. Odin is a flashing software for samsung devices.
Download Odin.zip from here:
Samsung Odin - Root Android download page for one click root
Samsung odin download - Root android and oneclickroot for flash / install custom ROM with one click root method
odindownload.com
(Download the latest version (v13.4.1 at the time of writing this)
Now, extract Odin.
Once we have Odin downloaded, we will need to install the correct usb drivers for Samsung phones.
Download the file below, then extract the zip and run the installer:
Samsung_USB_Driver_v1.7.31.0
MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
www.mediafire.com
Now that odin and the drivers are ready, we need the actual twrp image which we need to flash to our device.
Here is the link, download the latest .img.tar file (3.6.1_9-0 at the time of writing):
Download TWRP for hlte
Download TWRP Open Recovery for hlte
dl.twrp.me
Do not download the normal .img file, as that cannot be flashed via odin.
Now that we're past the prerequisites, we need to actually flash twrp to your device. To begin, we must put your note 3 into download mode. To enter download mode, power off your phone completely and then press Power+Home+Vol Down at the same time and keep these three buttons pressed until your phone shows a "download mode, do not power off target!!!" screen, you can follow this video tutorial below:
Now that we are in download mode on the device, we need to get back to our computer and configure odin to flash twrp. First things first, open odin. Now, connect your phone to the computer. You should see a little "COM-" show up in one of the empty boxes in the top row under the word "ID:COM". This is good, it means that your pc successfully recognises your device.
Now, go to the options tab on the left side, makse sure that repartition is UNCHECKED. Now, click on the "AP" button, and navigate to and select the TWRP.img.tar file that you downloaded earlier. After you have selected it, click on start at the bottom right. Now it will begin to flash twrp, which should not take long. Make sure that you do not disconnect the device while flashing, wait for the phone to complete. Once it is done, the phone will reboot.
Now, just remove the battery, then put it back in. To enter TWRP recovery, keep Power+Home+Vol Up pressed, then once you see the samsung boot logo upon the phone powering on, let go of power, but keep home and volume up pressed.
Congrats! You've just flashed TWRP to your device, amazing!
Now you can go and look for custom roms to flash to your device. Since your model is the N9005, look for hlte/hlte* roms, don't use any roms if they don't support the hlte/hlte* variant.
Alright, now since you have mentioned that you want to use lineage os, here's a guide for that too.
So currently, it is recommended to use android 11 lineage os nightly builds as they are stable and official, so they should not have any bugs. So unfortunately, I cannot recommend installing lineage os android 10, as you had originally wanted, though the installation process for that will be somewhat similar. It is still not recommended to use old or unofficial builds due to bugs and lack of security updates.
First, we need to download lineage os for this device onto our pc, here's the link to the latest nightly build:
https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/hlte/20220319/lineage-18.1-20220319-nightly-hlte-signed.zip
Next we need to download a GApps package for google play functionality. OpenGApps is recommended as it is open source, secure and reliable, usually with no bugs. I recommend using the nano package instead of pico if your device can handle it (your's can handle it just fine), as it contains google play functionality, and some extra google features which cannot be downloaded from google play. Here is the link to the nano package for your device (only for android 11 roms):
https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm/20220215/open_gapps-arm-11.0-nano-20220215.zip/download?use_mirror=udomain&r=&use_mirror=autoselect
Now, if you want to get your device play protect certified, you will also need to download magisk for rooting, and magisk modules (so that you can download netflix and use banking apps etc.), but that is something you can do later on, and you can find any tutorial online for this.
Once the download is complete, move the lineage and opengapps .zip files to an sd card and insert it into the phone. Enter TWRP, go to wipe and click on Advanced. From here, wipe System+Data+Cache+Dalvik/ART Cache. Your files such as photos and media will not be wiped.
Next, go back to the TWRP main menu and select install. Click the select storage button at the bottom left and click on Micro SD Card. Now, click on the lineage os zip file, then click on the Add Zips to Queue button and select the opengapps zip file, then click install. This will take some time, do not interrupt it. Once it is complete, you can reboot the phone. The first reboot will take some time, and the first boot may be slow, after setting up your device, make sure to reboot it at least once.
Congrats, you've just installed a custom rom with google play functionality via TWRP!
Unfortunately, sometimes there are issues. If you still cannot get into lineage os despite waiting at least 10 minutes on the boot screen, then follow these steps below:
The lineage team says that booting issues may be due to incompatible recoveries, this means that we will have to use lineageos's own recovery to flash the rom.
For this, download the lineage os recovery.img from here:
https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/recovery/hlte/20220319/lineage-18.1-20220319-recovery-hlte.img
Now copy this image file to your sd card and insert it into the phone.
Enter TWRP. First of all, click on wipe, then click on advanced and select System+Data+Cache+Dalvik/ART Cache and wipe. Now, go back to the main menu and click install. At the bottom right or left, there will be a button to "Install Image". Click on that button, and select the lineage recovery zip file and install it. Now go back to the main menu and click on the reboot button, then click on reboot to recovery.
Now you will boot into the lineage os recovery, from here you can install lineage os and the gapps zip files. Here is a tutorial:
This tutorial is for a oneplus phone, but it will be the same process on your samsung device.
Once it is complete, you can restart the device. If you would like TWRP back after flashing, just follow the steps from my first post and use odin to flash the twrp file again. I recommend that after installing lineage os, flash twrp again, as twrp recovery is much better than lineage recovery, and you dont need lineage recovery after installing lineage os.
If I helped you out, please mark my post as the solution, Thanks!

I did exactly with all your instructions. The end result is still the same that it won't boot TWRP after flashing, I don't really understand what the heck is wrong with my Samsung Note 3 Hlte. However i did try again with Lineageos Recovery, heck same thing too! This is really frustracting man, it just restarted itself and goes into normal boot.

Did you follow my instructions from the beginning, using the files I linked, instead of your own?
How did you even try lineage recovery if you can't boot into TWRP? You need to boot into TWRP to flash lineage recovery..
HECK, how did you even flash lineage os if you can't boot into twrp???
Please answer these questions, as it is literally impossbile to do what your doing without entering twrp.
Just follow my instructions step by step, using only the files I linked, then tell us what happens.
I think your problem is that you aren't even entering recovery mode. You need to keep Power+Home+Volume Up pressed, then once the samsung logo appears, wait for 2 seconds and let go of power, without letting go of home or volume up. Now keep home and volume up pressed, eventually you will boot into twrp.
If you can't get into twrp, it means that you didn't flash it correctly, in which case make sure that your bootloader is unlocked.
It is also possible that your devices buttons or broken or something, in that case, download platform tools from here:
https://magiskupdate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows.zip/
Next, download and install adb and fastboot drivers from here:
Download in progress... - My USB Drivers
Preparing your download... Please wait...! Facing issues downloading the file or the download link is broken? You can report us here.
myusbdrivers.com
Install the drivers, then reboot. After that, extract platform tools and open the folder. Note the location of the folder (e.g. C:\Users\Name\Downloads\platform-tools). Now open a command prompt window (cmd), then type:
cd location of platform tools folder here
e.g.
cd C:\Users\Name\Downloads\platform-tools
Now, boot your phone into download mode (power+home+vol down), then connect it to the pc. Type:
adb reboot recovery
and
fastboot reboot recovery
This will force your device to boot into recovery, if your device still doesn't boot into twrp, then you have incorrectly flashed twrp to your device. If that's the case, please carefully follow my instructions from the first post, using my linked files only.

I did follow your instructions using your own files that you provided for me. I did press Power + Home + volume up exactly as you told me to and let go of power button and keep pressing Volume up and Home, It just won't boot correctly into Twrp and restarted itself. There is alternative than using TWRP which is Lineageos Recovery os, i flashed that on my Samsung Note 3 HLTE, but it also don't work as well. However the link you sent to me right now is broken. Mind sending new one?
i forgot to mention one thing, i already unlocked the bootloader on Devs setting by turning on USB Debugging. There is no saying about bootloader option. I'm 100% sure i am doing it correctly. I downloaded literally everything from you and did as the instruction told. Even when i keep pressing Home + Volume up, it goes into bootloop without any successful attempt into booting twrp correctly and once i let go of Home + volume up button will boot my Samsung note 3 hlte into Normal boot and work as normal.
there should be an oem unlocking option in developer options. you need to select that, then reboot into downlaod mode and confirm to unlock your bootloader. To check it if it is unlocked, boot into download mode and send a picture of the text which it shows at the top right here on this forum and ill be able to confirm it for you.
N9005 does not have a locked bootloader .
Check its actually a N9005

You can see the video for the devs option, there is only usb debugging, i turn it off so that you can notice it and turn it back on in the video. You can try look at the download mode picture too. Let me know if i am doing anything wrong. Anyways the SDK Platform tool link you sent me is broken bro, i haven't try that solution yet.

It is N9005 my bro, I checked the spec with CPUZ and also reFlashed with Stock ROM N9005 with same Country region just for sure and it works fine. After i flash the stock rom, it can boot into recovery mode with no issues. However, with TWRP... It just won't work... I don't know why...
Will an older TWRP 2.8.70 etc flash , it could then upgrade TWRP .

Okay. it seem to be work out. But i realised that my Samsung note 3 hlte lcd screen is not original... So is this the reason why i can't flash custom rom? Or is there any alternative that may help me flash any good custom rom other than stock?

Changed parts doesnt affect the installation of a custom rom. What issue are you encountering, you said that it worked out..? Just use twrp to wipe system+data+cache+dalvik, then flash acustom rom which is compatible with the hlte

Twrp 2.8.70 is too old to read modern custom rom, it seem that i can't flash Lineageos 18.1 at all. That's what i mean, although Android 7.1 Lineageos seem to work out on my samsung note 3 hlte
flash 2.8.70, then install a 3.3x image via twrp's "install image" option in the install menu
