Troubles after installing custom recovery - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
i have troubles after installing the custom recovery TWR-* file. The device tells me not to turn it off but in the LineageOS description it says:
1)A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred. (works)
2)Unplug the USB cable from your device. (also no problem)
3)Manually reboot into recovery:
With the device powered down, hold Home, Volume Up, and Power
The device shows me "Downloading... DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET".... but the descriptions is telling me that after the blue bar is completed i should turn it off.... what am i missing ? if see at the bottom: starting into recovery but then i get a blank screen and he boots normaly .
i have a samsung galaxy s4 I9505 and i'm using the "twrp-3.1.1-0-jfltexx.img" file.
Thanks in advance,

How did you try to flash twrp?
I suggest you flash the latest stock rom with Odin and start over.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Stuck at Samsung Logo

Hi guys first i want you to know that my english is bad...
My phone is G900K - SpaceX Rom 5.0
I am using SpaceX Rom 5.0 for weeks and it is buggy, i experience random boot,app crash,fast battery drain and freezes.
Yesterday i reboot my phone and after "Android is Starting" i got message that System Crash or System UI i am not sure what it is but it has System word in error report. Then my phone didn't start so i remove the battery and put it again. After pressing on the Power on Button my S5 starts and i notice the Blue Light in Upper Left didn't Light Up and my phone didn't boot to 2nd Samsung Logo. When i press Power On Button my S5 will turn on and 1st Samsung Logo will appear then It will Turn Off then Vibrates then goes back to 1st Samsung Logo it keeps repeating. Also i try Recovery Mode but i can't enter to it my phone will repeat the same process as i Turn On my phone. I can go to Download Mode, And i flash Stock Rom and after flashing Stock Rom there's a blue text in upper left Recovery Booting... but its not booting into recovery, It will just turn off again then vibrates then goes to 1st Samsung Logo.
If anyone experiencing the situation right now you can comment​
Same issue here. My phone is stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING. Is there anyone who can fix this issue? Thanks.
Boot to download mode (Vol down & Home & Power)
Flash stock ROM from sammobile .com with ODIN
Instructions under the download on their site
Go into download mode and do a firmware upgrade and initialisation through kies3. You will need your serial number and model number( on the white sticker behind the battery. in kies3 go tools> firmware upgrade and initialisation, then follow the on screen steps. I used this when I soft bricked my note 2 when I had it, I personally find it's the best way to restore a samsung device.
You should try first with kies3, it did help me to recover from custom ROM installation.
If it fails, flash stock with Odin3 from phone download mode is your last option.
I'm having the exact same issue! Been trying to flash the stockfirmware, but still stuck in recovery booting loop! Even trying to get into recovery mode has it looping. Kiess 3 says that my serial number is invalid, so matter which number I put in too. Hoping for some help!

Mine is the SM-G900W8 with Telus, so if we have the same model, I could probably give you my serial number cause I never had issues with mine. I know I have read places that sometime when people get stuck in recovery like that, they do a factory wipe and cache wipe in the stock recovery to get it to boot.
This same thing is happening with my s5 Verizon.. Need help to fix this i've tried flashing via odin, factory reseting..nothing worked
Can anybody help me please....thanks

Can't Boot My LG G2

I can't boot my LG G2 since I attempted to install Cyanogenmod 13 to it. It is not a "Security Error" that I can fix by flashing to stock rom. When I press and hold the power button it usually shows nothing, but sometimes it shows the logo for half of a second and goes black. I can't acces download mode or recovery, and when I tried to connect it to my pc, it opened dozens of driver(like C:\, D:\) errors, so I plugged it out and all of them gave error by saying can't open, parameter error, format the disk etc. I really need urgent help!
By the way I had downloaded opengapps and cyanogen mod 13 when I was able to access twrp.
I should add this: it continues working there is a shining black screen all the time. If I try booting it when it is out of charge, would it work?
P.S: When I connect it to a PC this shining black screen is winking.

Need help to unbrick my phone

Hi,
I have a Note 4 t-mobile that is "brick" right now. and I hope if anyone offer assistance.
It is running Android 6. Ever since the last upgrade the phone would freeze and reboot on its own. I fixed that problem by installing Wake Lock. After that it would still experience sluggish at time but the phone is still very much usable.
Lately, after watching a bit of streaming video the phone would slow down so much that a reboot is needed. But yesterday my last reboot turned my phone into a brick. After that reboot the phone rebooted itself to the download mode. So I took the battery out, waited for a few minutes and put the battery back in and started the phone. Instead of booting normally the phone displayed the message including "set warranty bit: recovery" and then followed by the flashing TWRP splash screen. By "flashing TWRP splash screen" I mean the TWRP splash screen ( with the TEAMWIN logo) would be shown on the screen for a second, then the screen black out for a couple of seconds, then the splash screen is back on for a second, and the screen black out for a couple of seconds, etc, and never successfully boot into TWRP recovery. I had left the flashing splash screen overnight and nothing changed. Connect the phone to my pc via usb and fastboot wouldn't recognize my phone when phone was flashing the TWRP splash screen. So I tried to flash TWRP again by starting my phone in download mode "volume down + power". When I connected my phone to my pc Odin recognized my phone. But when I tried to flash a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) it seems the download started but never finished (on the phone I could see the progress bar started but never progress further).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated1
Additonal info
I just wanted to add that my phone is still running the stock ROM.
Problem solved
Problem solved. Once I used a different cable and the download process actually worked and I was able to flash stock ROM using Odin.

Please Help ! I think i've bricked my Samsung A20

I thought of testing out different custom ROMS available for my device (Samsung A20 ) just to see what fits me, So I tried to flash a custom ROM "Havoc OS", right after flashing a ROM from XDA under my phone's section which is another custom ROM which i guess is ported from S20 " https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a20/development/ultimate-q-s20-v2-rom-t4104667 " and installed the ROM it worked fine, but after flashing Havoc OS, It boots up but the screen goes black after few seconds after displaying the Samsung logo... Knox... Powered by android and all that but goes off quickly and the black screen starts to appear, i tried holding down the power button and volume down together and also power button + volume up but nothing seems to work, i.e it won't get me into recovery or download mode. I tried using Odin while the phone is connected but even then it didn't show up on Odin's log as well. Please help :crying:
Update: The problem was fixed: I left the device to stay in the boot loop and the battery drained and then when I connected it to the power brick when the battery is completely drained i was able to boot into twrp recovery without a problem. ( Also i did this after removing the memory card )

SM-N910F Blackscreen after flash / Odin = Pass - looking for help

Hello community,
A good friend of mine asked me to support him with his "bricked" Note 4.
I tried now for a few hours (usually im experienced with stuff like that) without any success.
Downloadmode is accessable. Odin (3.09) says most of time 'pass'.
I flashed the following stock roms:
N910FXXU1DRI2_N910FOXA1DRI1_DBT_(Germany) [We are from germany] 1 File.
Odin tells me: pass, Phone reboots in recovery mode, installs a system update, processbar filled half, "earasing", reboot into recovery and display stuck on black after retry to install a system update.
I already tried to debrick - after reflash the PIT file, the Note4 stuck in the Note4 Splashscreen with a blue LED blinking but nothing more happens. [Debrick XDA Thread] (should it?)
I tried also the N910FXXU1ANK4_DBT_4Files Firmware but same behavior (black screen after system update - the phone must turned on since the power button doesnt react - I need to pull of the battery for reboot).
Any hint for me what Im doing wrong? This devices drives me crazy ...
Is the device hardware broken maybe? What do you guys think?
Thank you for reading
Best regards
