HI, I have tried to root my S5 900I but failed badly, have done other phones in the past but somehow stuffed this.
The phone is stuck on downloading screen and cannot do normal boot.
I Started with flashing "recovery.tar.md5" 1st which passed in Odin but phone stuck on downloading screen, then I went into recovery and tried reset and flash CF Auto Root but still not working.
Then flashed twrp.kit.tar and still no normal boot but I can get into recovery Team Win, have tried numerous wipes and installing more CF Auto Root's and also tried flashing Miui Rom.
I believe I have screwed up the stock rom and don't know what to do next.
appreciate any help

Same happened to my wife's Galaxy Grand Prime months ago; stuck at downloading mode after rooting and installing TWRP recovery. The problem was with the version of TWRP recovery I was installing. Looks like I was installing the wrong one (although the website I downloaded it from states that it's the correct one for the device model). I tried different versions from different websites and was about to wipe everything and flash the stock rom but finally I got the correct one and that fixed the problem. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll keep trying different TWRP, have tries so many but have changed the outcome yet
My phone is a Samsung Note 3 SM-9005, currently it's stuck in an infinite bootloop even after removing the battery for an hour.
I get this message:
RECOVERY BOOTING ...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
... along with the Samsung SM-N9005 logo, a couple of beeps/buzzes and then it repeats ad infinitum.
Here's what I did over the last day to get to this sorry state of affairs:
1. Upgraded from Android 4.3 (the original operating system) to 5.0 using the Samsung N9005XXUGBOA5 ROM with Odin 3.12. This worked fine but the phone lost root.
2. I rooted the phone again using Odin and Chainfire Auto-Root. All good so far.
3. I installed TWRP (the official TWRP App 1.5, going by my records)
4. I flashed the latest custom recovery which would have been 3.0.x and this seemed to be fine. So far no problems.
5. I then got ideas above my lowly station, apparently. I wanted to flash one of the newer ROMs: [Rom][N7 Port][12.12.2016] [Multi-DPI] Phronesis Rom N7 v4.1 Feature Rich & Smooth
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-phronesis-mm-rom-v1-0-feature-rich-t3463244
6. In the instructions, it said to use TWRP recovery version 2.8.7. I found that and flashed it. (Yes, it was for the Samsung SM N9005).
7. I rebooted into recovery mode to make a backup with that 2.8.7 version.
8. Now I'm stuck in boot loop hell with ...
RECOVERY BOOTING ...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
... with the Samsung SM-N9005 logo, a couple of beeps/buzzes and so on (as stated above).
I've tried leaving the battery out for an extended period and this hasn't worked. The phone never gets to the stage where I can talk to it with Odin or get any kind of menu. Is the phone truly bricked now?
If so, was it a critical error to go from the 3.0.x TWRP recovery back to 2.8.7 for the purposes of this custom ROM upgrade?
If not, what can be done to regain control of the phone?
This is obviously an older phone as I've had it for about 3 years now, but I'd love to get it working again if possible. I really loved it and was planning to use it for a couple more years (hence the upgrade path I've explained above).
Can you boot into download mode? I suspect you flash the 4.3 version of twrp, you need a 4.4 version. This one https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar.html
Boot into download mode and flash it with odin.
I suggest flashing the latest stock ROM, flash the latest tar version of twrp with Odin, root with supersu.zip in twrp.
Stonedead, you were right on the money. I did what you suggested (Download mode) and that different TWRP file, and it worked.
Thanks so much.
Thanks audit13 also, although I didn't need to go that far to undo my mistake.
I got the same problem with my note 3. Thank you for the solution. Now how do I exactly get TWRP working on my phone. It is already rooted.
See TWRP thread.
Basics flash twrp tar through odin
Root is not needed to install the tar version of TWRP with Odin.
Thanks. Managed to get twrp working now. Also installed the note 8 Rom

Hi JJEgan,thank you for the reply back much appreciated for your time so far,so do you mean twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-eu.tar file?and not twrp 2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4 img.tar file?that's the one I am using to flash the rom with and having problems with.
Hi there again ok im so confused not sure which one,there are so many of the 2.8.7.0 versions with 4.3 or 4.4-img.tar im not sure if im downloading 4.4 or 4.3 as im still a noob and love tech,I have read threads upon this rom problems still can't get the grasp of the simple twrp version I have lte au version android 5,and when I read 2.8.7.0 im think is it 4.4 4.3 or just 2.8.7.0 tar file?I'm following the installation up into the problem of not booting up in stays In galaxy note 3 boot and I have removed the battery 5mi z replaced then recovery and factory reset then it does the same again and I have tried 3 times waited longer each time im thinking maybe go back to stock I don't think my phone is agreeing with me,jjEgan thanks for the info amd time im sorry if annoy you with a simple installation to you,still I have read and grasp the concept of twrp installer version yeah??
Only use 2.8.70 as said later versions wont flash that rom.
2.8.7.0 TAR flashed through Odin .

Hi guys i need expert opinions as i am worried about my device. I have S5 Prime G906K with Marshmallow installed. The set is super fine. I wanted to root and flash custom recovery my S5 Prime. I followed the direction of Kyntik (recognized developer of TWRP for my G906 Device). The procedure was successful. Set rooted and recovery installed but two major issues which appeared were:
1) I tried to flash stock Samsung firmware for my model from Sammobile with latest provided ODIN on their site. ODIN failed and i was unable to boot. i tried to boot in recovery but it said UPDATE INTERRUPTED Try Kies etc. I tried again but ODIN Failed when writing System.imge. I tried it around 5 to 6 time and SUDDENLY entire .md5 file was flashed. I dont know what was worng? Have you guys ever faced this issue? if so what was your loophole how you managed to get out of it? Is it me or others have faced it if so tell me the possible reasons where i was wrong? I am asking this because i love trying different roms cooked for our devices but i am scared now.
2) After i rooted and installed twrp on my handset, it always displayed a yellow message on top left corner which said "SET BIT WARRANTY:KERNAL" And when i tried to boot recovery message used to be "SET WARRANTY BIT:RECOVERY.
Whats going on here? I have come back to samsung after 3 years of enjoying LG so i dont much about recent changes. Your opinions will clearify my in :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Thank you but this was my method and as i mentioned i followed the procedure of Kyntik. I had no problem after installing twrp and getting rooted. Only problem i faced was while flashing stock firmware again now m confused was it caused by custom recovery or this was random error. fortunately ODIN flashed my set after trying it 8 times its working perfectly on stock. but i want custom roms thats why m cautious
Today i tried to root my galaxy s8 (SM-G950F) and it ended up getting bricked.
I did a emergency recovery through the smart swtich program.
I tried the cf autoroot and i downloaded it directly from their website but the problem is that it used an old verison of odin and not the newest one?
Does anyone have a working one?

I highly reccomending flashing magisk for root.
Use odin v3.12.3
What issue did you have flashing cf autoroot?

When i flashed it it took like 2 seconds which is very unusual and it restarted and it just gets stuck on the boot screen where it says samsung. I did it twice now.
It took me hours to find a solution to flash a new software onto it because it would say something with pit.
All i did was i entered into to download mode and on the odin i put in all the files.
The same time i pressed start on my pc i holded (Bixby + volume down + power buttom) down and you have to be fast and then i will probably fail and then you try again and then it begins to flash the original software.
I am trying magisk root right now.
EDIT:
I have now succesfully installed twrp recovery and the magisk root.

Yes everything is working perfectly now. Thanks for mentioning that root.
hi
ive got a s8, which was rooted using magisk, but was having issue, so was advised to unroot, remote and try superSU instead.
in the process of flashing stock rom AND 8.0, the phone now boots up to black screen showing verification failed, only option to reset.
when i press reset, all it does is restarts, loads up TWRP which had been installed before,
TWRP runs some program and fails and then phone goes back to black screen showing verification failed.
ive booted it into download mode, in the hope that i can just start again by simply lashing fresh stock rom, but it connects to odin fine, but when i click start, it gives a red error every time.
so i cant access the standard recovery menu as ive got TWRP so that loads instead and it looks as that is corrupted and i cant flash new fresh rom from download as odin brings up issue
ive check another phone and there is no issue with odin or the usb-c cable,
there is an issue with the s8 and odin does not like something in the s8 so wont let me flash anything to it,
any advice would be greatly appreicated.
When you flashed the stock rom using odin did you flash a bootloader aswell as the rom or did you just flash the rom the problem might be that the bootloader was for pie and the rom is oreo or vice versa whenever I flash back to stock I fill all but one of the boxes in odin
i suspect it was all oreo, as i downloaded as a complete file but ill check and get back to you
thanks for advice.
