Hello,
I'm having problems installing custom recovery (both CWM and TWRP). I've already been installing custom recoveries before and then I decided to go fully stock. So, now I've been fully stock for quite a while and today I tried installing custom recovery. In Odin it says "Pass" but no custom recovery installed. I've disabled Reactivation lock and enabled USB debugging. I really don't know what's wrong.
If anybody knows what's the problem, I would really appreciate the help!!!
EDIT: The problem was in official TouchWiz build version. That version (in my case) couldn't been rooted and didn't allow another recovery being installed. I downgraded to BNL9 version, before I was on BOA3 version. You can easily find earlier version on sammobile.com
If you're rooted, use TWRP manager from Play store, few people have this issue, myself included
I just said I went fully stock. So, no. I`m not rooted. But thanks for the advice. Might need it in the future!

This happened to me a while back when I had a Galaxy S3, i found a solution, unfortunately, you must be rooted to do this solution.
In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27597756&postcount=1 you'll find a section that states "Stock Recovery being reflashed after a reboot?" and there is the one solution that worked for me.
If you manage to find any of this files through a file explorer, it means that your ROM is flashing stock recovery on every boot. So you would need root access to rename them.
Thank you very much. I will certainly dig into this and search for it.
U need Root
You'll need root for that project.
I had the same problem.
I took CF-Autoroot and flashed it. Right afterwards I booted again manual into stock recovery mode and wiped cash and dalvik cash. After that -without reboot-
removed the battery for a minute. I reinserted the battery and I booted into download mode and flashed recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.4.7-kgsm.tar.
Finally, to stay off of KNOX, which always is going to bother, you should install an app, called: Knox-Disabler. It doesnt clean the phone from Knox, but it keeps Knox inactive.- :good:
Good luck
I'm having a lot of trouble with this issue, since it starting with me logging out of snapchat, meaning my login would temporarily fail because my device was rooted and had xposed installed. I tried the normal fix to clear the settings for RootCloak and then add Snapchat back to it. But this solution had stopped working. I then misunderstood a fix for uninstalling Xposed to uninstalling root, which I ended up doing so my device had no root and xposed installed. After realizing my error and that I now can't reach TWRP recovery to try and fix it, I tried to flash it with root so that I could start it again with a fresh root. But when I first tried it, it passed, but it was stuck on the samsung s6 edge + loading screen. At that point I tried booting into recovery with Pwr+Volup+Home but it didn't work, just returned a black screen.
Now whenever I try to flash it with the stock rom to start over again, I've now tried it twice, once with a 6.0.1 stock os which failed and one with a 5.1.1 stock which also failed.
What do I do to fix this? Can someone help?
Thanks.
I need help updating my software update. I tried rooting my phone and it was on the latest update. When i rooted my phone and tried doing a custom rom it didn't work and i wiped everything to factory reset and i also downgraded from 7.1.1 to 6.0.1. I made sure that i wasn't rooted or anything like that and i gave up on trying to install a custom rom and now i want to update back to the latest. When i try and download it it says that the system package doesn't match and it says System 8 error. I also tried downloading it thru my sd card with the android recovery and that didn't work as well. Should i factory reset my phone? Will that work with updating to 7.1.1. I just want to go back to stock android on my Axon 7. Anyone that sees this please help me i would really appreciate it
Thank you
I just upgraded to Pie on my SM-T380 and am now running into an issue after trying to re-root the tab.
I had previously rooted the tab using TWRP and Magisk and didn't have any problems except that I could not update Magisk since every time I went to TWRP I could not mount data, etc. I did an upgrade from Oreo to Pie today and it appeared to work without problems. I then tried re-rooting following the instructions here SM-T380 Rooting Guide but now only get an error screen when booting up (Security Error...) stating that "Only official released binaries are allowed." I can't boot into recovery and I've tried to reflash TWRP and get a FAIL in Odin every time.
I've tried to find the stock images to just reflash everything through Odin but am unsure which is the right image file (https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a-2017/firmware/#SM-T380, I'm in the US). Can someone point me in the right direction?
Appreciate any help!
I found firmware for my T280 at this website https://samfrew.com/
Galaxy S8 Exynos [SM-G950FD] Android Oreo 8.0.0
Hello. it's my first time posting here. So I've had a successful attempt at flashing TWRP and Magisk into my phone. Today I accidentally plugged in my charger while it was in the process of rebooting, so it entered my device into kind of a bootloop. I solved this by going into Download Mode and pressing 'Cancel', which prompted my device to successfully reboot and work again.
The problem is that I've somehow lost my root. None of my apps can get root access, CPU-Z says no root available, and Magisk Manager said "Magisk is not installed". Idk how I got to this because yesterday all was working, I assume it's because I got a bootloop or went into Download Mode.
I tried to install the official Magisk ZIP file from the Manager, go into recovery mode, and flash it via TWRP. Unfortunately this didn't work. This is the only solution I can come up with besides reflashing Stock and having to flash Magisk again and wipe all my current data. If anyone has any suggestions please comment down below as I'm kinda stuck rn. They would be greatly appreaciated!
