Flashing TWRP to Samsung Galaxy SM-A500W - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hello,
I tried to flash TWRP to my Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 SM-A500W recovery partition (with the end goal of rooting) using Heimdall (using the GUI) and with Odin, but when booting into the recovery mode, I still get Android's recovery; but, the device status is now "custom". Am I incorrectly doing it? Thank you!

How to run TWRP headless ?

I have samsung s5 (G900H) having damaged screen. Its screen is blank and touch is not working. I have flashed Marshmallow stock rom via odin then flashedTWRP 3.0.0-0 by Fevax via odin. TWRP recovery is installed successfully as TWRP folder with settings file is created. But I am unable to access recovery using adb . It shows no device in adb devices.
How can I enable adb in twrp recovery if it is not enabled by editing twrp settings file or some other way. Then, I would install supersu zip via adb in recovery to root it.
I have finally rooted my S5 by flashing "CF-Auto-Root-k3g-k3gxx-smg900h.tar" from CF-Auto-Root thread via odin . Huge Thanks to @Chainfire . :good::good::good::good::good:

TWRP custom recovery installs but shows "cannot boot normally" on recovery mode boot
Hi, my device is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 sm-n900k (korean). I tried to flash custom recovery (twrp). These are the steps I followed:
-> Went into developers mode and checked USB debugging.
-> Went to security and disabled reactivation lock.
-> Downloaded latest Odin (v3.13.1).
-> Downloaded latest TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar).
-> Flashed TWRP with odin and Odin showed Pass.(I put my device into download mode did everything suggested in a thread )
-> then I tried to boot in recovery mode but , a message at the top of the screen was displayed in red color : "cannot boot normally".
Please help. Did I do something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Yes. I downloaded it from twrp site. I am not allowed to post a link so the page I downladed it from goes like this:
twrp site -> Searched Samsunge Galaxy Note 3 -> Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Americas, China, Europe & Korea) (hlte)
Try older twrp
Or read the identical threads .
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote3qualcomm.html
Actually I have already tried about 8 older versions. Upto " twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar " because the official site mentioned they update to support newer devices, I even tried using older version of Odin, also hit many similar threads. But there is very little thread for sm-n900k and reagrding this problem of TWRP not booting even with successful installation. But thanks anyways.
Try Philz Recovery or CWM if installs you can flash twrp zip

Now i cant get out off download mode.
I used the TWRP specific for my device Samsung Galaxy S10+ Exynos (beyond2lte)
I got this error message:
ODIN MODE (AVB Fail)
recovery: Error validating footer. (0)
recovery: Error verifiying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)

I have provided some details about my device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does your computer recognize the phone in Odin mode? Have you tried to flash the stock firmware?
Sorry for the late response. I was able to recover my phone after I took it on the Samsung customer service for repair. I really don't know much about these software stuff, though I want to really root my phone but I'm afraid to attempt it again using Odin, TWRP and Magisk . Is there a way to root my Samsung Galaxy S10+ without using a PC or laptop? I tried using the Kingroot app but it fails to root my phone and after I found out feedbacks about the app, I uninstalled it on my phone.
