Hi

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
re-flash stock rom again
You can just flash the recovery if you don't want to loose everything, if you need a flashable recovery image let me know. Your phones bootloader is most likely locked, same thing happend to my phone when I tried TWRP on it, turns out bootloader was locked.

As advised earlier before doing anything you need to make sure oem unlock is set to on in developer options.

Phones back to normal recovery would flash but would not boot into it by bootloader do you mean OEM?
One other thing, when I got twrp, I didn't want to flash a Rom at the time, I just wanted twrp and the official stock firmware, and I found it would not boot until I wiped data in twrp.
What's your phone model?
You can flash the OEM recovery, the reason I ask for your model is the fact that any USA snapdragon bootloader cannot be unlocked yet so you have no choice but to return to OEM recovery. If you give me your model I'll compile a file to flash that will reinstall your in stock recovery.
It really depends on your model because some you have to insure your bootloader is unlocked, while some varrients are just totally locked.
I can give you a file to return you to stock recovery if you need it.

Reflash you stock firmware but do not nand erase... I think all you should have to flash though is just the BL tar of the firmware....
Your Bl is locked and you cant just flash a recov .img Or at least I dont believe you can

Perhaps you have downloaded and flashed the wrong version
of the custom recovery for your specific phone's model.
Be sure you download and flash the correct version.
My suggestion is to download and flash twrp recovery
for your phone's specific model.
Good luck!

thank you. that worked.
Model: SM-G900P
I've tried every kind of rom flashing here, re-partitioning, recovery images, etc.
I really just want to get to the stock recovery mode with out the auto boot loop.
Please help.
What else do you need to know?
Try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN, and boot into TWRP recovery
If you can get into TWRP, you have a very powerful recovery with a lot more options than stock, to try and get things working again before going back to 100% stock - if that's what you're aiming for

The flash seem to work via ODIN. See image below.
But it is still stuck in a boot loop for normal booting or for recovery mode.
Am I using Odin incorrectly??

A lot of newer S5s do the same thing (Except they usually boot back into stock recovery, but as yours isn't working, same thing)
Follow this guide (Using the correct version TWRP for your model S5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64961009&postcount=2
You can ignore steps that are not relevant to flashing TWRP, or follow them all for a rooted phone (Apart from reactivation lock as you can't boot yet)

I followed these steps:
"3) boot into download mode.
4) Odin flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 (specifically this version).
5) DO NOT allow phone to boot, (uncheck auto reboot in odin and if necessary remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed) then.....
6) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)"
Although, they were not very specific....
To flash with odin, I used the AP button and did not let it auto reboot. Removed battery immediately. tried to reboot in recovery and saw the same issue.
I think I need all files.
BL
AP
CP
CSC
and possibly to re-partition with a PIT file
You say in the first post you have already repartitioned?
PIT file is for repartitioning
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2799613&d=1402839135
Extract to .pit, add to PIT section in ODIN, add ROM to AP section, flash both together
You can try older versions of ODIN for TWRP to, some people have success with version starting 3.07 > 3.10.7
I was able to do the PIT and the TWRP at the same time.
Although, my phone said "SECURE CHECK FAIL : pit" on the screen, it seemed to do everything.
But upon reboot to try to get to Recovery (power, home, Vol+), it no longer waits and reboots/recycles. It fails with a message that says "Could not do normal boot." and send me to Download mode.....
If I try to boot normally, I still get the boot loop....
I just used the PIT file I used last time and it's back to where I was when I started this post.
Endless reboot cycle...
Maybe the bootloader needs to be flashed?
Ok. My issue with the failing pit (and any other failures from Odin) was a combination of using a bad version of Odin or a bad version of the tar or pit files.
I am able to flash the latest stock rom g900p OK4 just fine.
I can flash twrp just fine as well.
But the boot loop cycle still remains.
I believe I know exactly what I need here and it's the stock OK4 boot loader.
Here's an Odin flashable OK4 bootloader for the G900P. https://mega.nz/#!9ItUDZ7C

Bootloader file was exactly what I was asking for. Thanks.
However, it did not solve the problem.
Boot loop cycle going on still after stock BL, Ap, PIT all flashed....
Any other suggestions ???? Please. From anyone?
I'm sorry to write in this old topic, but I want to know if you solved your problem, as I'm having the same trouble. Everytime I turn on the phone it stucks on bootloop, and after 5 to 10 cycles it starts. When trying to enter to Recovery it stucks on bootloop and never enters. I've tried with TWRP or Philz CWM but it just doesn't enter to recovery :'(
As the title says, I tried to install TWRP onto my Galaxy S5 via the app. It said that everything was successful but when I try to boot into recovery, I get stuck on a loop that says recover failed with a big caution icon saying start up failed. I can get out of the loop by using Odin and trying to install the recovery through that but it fails but I can at least turn my phone on and use it. I would like to get TWRP on my phone still but every outlet I have tried does seem to work. I could use some help here. My phone is rooted with a custom stock rom.

I have flashed twrp 3.2.1 via odin 3.12.3, but why I didn't see twrp interface when I boot into recovery? It says something like this:
Android Recovery
MMB29M.G900FXXU1CRA2
samsung/kltexx/klte
6.0.1/MMB29M/G900FXXU1CRA2
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
....
...
Power off
Based on what i have seen on youtube, it's not the twrp interface? It's G900F, un-rooted, not sure other status.

Hey
A few hours ago I flashed a boot-image (it was the S9+ black boot image) via TWRP on my SM-G928F. After that my phone does not boot in system or revovery anymore. I can only boot into download mode. I tried to flash a stock rom via Odin but that didn't helped.
I think I need a tar.md5 file of the stock boot-image which I can flash via Odin.
It would be very nice if anyone could help me with this.
Best regards

You're on the right track. I think flashing the original stock firmware via Odin should fix the issue, but you said that didn't work...

Yes, that's right... It didn't work because the stock firmware doesn't overwrite the boot logo. But is ist possible to integrate the stock boot logo into a custom rom which can be flashed via Odin?

If that's the issue, you need to flash the stock bootlogo via twrp. If you can't access TWRP though, it'll be kind of hard.

I can't access TWRP, beacuase there is a never ending blackscreen. I can only boot into download mode. That's the problem! I to flashed stock firmware again, I flashed TWRP again. I tried adb sideload - nothing works.
I think there must be a possibility to flash stock boot logo in download mode... but idk how
When you say you say you flashed a boot image, do you mean the splash screen that shows up when you boot the phone up or a boot image that is used to determine what drivers/hardware the phone has when it loads up the OS?

That splash screen that shows up when I boot the phone, so the "picture" on which is "Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + " shown.

Have you tried flashing TWRP again with Odin?
Maybe the boot image somehow corrupted the Recovery. I'm not sure how, but its worth a try. I had problems with TWRP before and had to flash it a number of times in the past cos it got corrupt somehow.
You can get the TWRP img file from TWRP web site to flash in odin.

If you flashed TWRP, try to go straight to it. Starting with the phone off, press the usual key combo for recovery. Keep pressing it even through the blackscreen. If all that's missing is the splash, it should still go into recovery after about 15 seconds.
