Cannot boot to any modes after flashing TWRP recovery with Odin - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, xda forum........
I am having a problem with my galaxy grand 2.
The basic story is I cannot turn on my phone and
This happened after I flashed TWRP recovery.
flashed TWRP recovery --> still boots... cannot boot to recovery
attempted with CWM recovery --> now cannot boot.
If I attempt fast boot mode --> goes to download mode // shows could not do normal boot
if I attempt recovery boot mode --> goes to download mode // same
if I just power it on --> music of "over the horizon" comes out but suddenly stop at the point it shouldn't and get stuck in boot loop
I remember the last boot (after CWM attempt) showed
--> partition damaged would you format
so I press "yes" and that was the end of my galaxy grand.
I was flashing recovery images in AP option (Odin) for several times and I have no luck so far.
does Any guy here know what's wrong?

Just Flash stock rom via odin...and then flash the correct TWRP for grand 2 SM-G7102 Or SM-G7105...Then Select The TWRP To AP Option In Odin then restart The device

[Q] Not Able to enter Recovery Mode

I have a SM-N9005 (on 4.4.2) which is facing boot loops (doesn't pass the animated Samsung logo). Tried to enter recovery mode but it reboots after a few seconds after seeing the blue recovery booting wordings.
I am able to enter to download mode and managed to successfully flash the stock firmware (from samfirmware.com) using ODIN 3.09. Phone reboots after ODIN finishes flashing and tries to enter recovery mode but it fails as per before.
Tried to root using CF-Auto-Root and tried to use TWRP or CWM recovery modules but unable to boot up to these modules as well.
Any other ideas guys?

Custom recovery reset?

I have a SM-900I (Taiwan version) with the Samsung version of Lollipop 5.0. I'm trying to install a custom recovery for backup purposes. I'm flashing the TWRP2.8.0.1 image using Odin 3.07. It seems I can have the custom recovery installed, but when I restart the phone it goes back to the stock recovery.
In Odin I'm checking only "Reset F. Time", I'm loading the tarball of the recovery as PDA, I start the process and it stops once it has reached "RES OK!!", I unplug the phone and shut it off, start it in recovery mode and the custom recovery is there, but after I launch Android and try to access recovery again I load up the stock recovery.
Solved by using a more up to date recovery image.
Tick off the auto reboot on odin
Then
Flash your recovery
Wait until it's done abt 2 min
Remove your battry and put it back
Go straightly in to the recovery mode by pressing volume up+power and home
U will see your custom recovery
Ps: flash the compatible twrp or phiztouch to your device

Home-Volume Down-Power = Download Mode
Home-Volume Up - Power = Recovery Mode
You'll need to flash the Bootloader and Recovery. It may start up at this point. If not, then flash the Singapore ROM. You can extract the bootloader and recovery and then make them a .tar .md5 file for Odin. Read about it HERE. I've used it to recover my Canadian SM-N900W8 Note 3. All it would do was vibrate and boot loop. Now I'm 100% back up and running in Lollipop. Only use files for your version of the Note 3.

Singapore has 4 cell providers to choose from.
Or
you can try using Samsung Kies . Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery. You'll need the serial # under your battery.
Or you just flash this one https://idlekernel.com/twrp/3.0.0-0/twrp-3.0.0-0-hlte.tar.md5 by Odin on the AP slot. If you really have a SM-N9005 like me (No other strange SM-N900* one!) this will work and fix your loop by updating the bricked recovery to the most recent TWRP one. Here is more information I'd recommend to at least read a bit of to at least understand a bit what you are installing by that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467001
ODIN 3.09 for ya: http://androidhost.org/PVAIv (using old crap 1.85 is NOT NEEDED)

If you are in download mode why don't you just flash the recovery .. download the TWRP .tar file and flash it via odin

Bro, I have done flashing the .tar file. And the phone works normally but it doesn't open recovery mode. Whenever I try to boot into recovery mode, it says " cant do normal boot " and goes to download mode.
Ok that's right .. in your first post you wrote "want to flash"
Anyhow have you tried flashing some other recovery like CWM and then again flash TWRP. You should redownload TWRP tar file again.
Please don't click any other option in odin that are not mentioned

Buy a jig to go on the download mode isn't too much expensive and then flash your stock rom using odin
I already flashed with stock ROM via Odin and it goes in download mode but same problem. I want to hard reset device but doesn't go into recovery mode.....help
Last option would be to extract the pit-file from the 4-file csc package and load it toghether with 4-file firmware in odin, tick re-partition and hope for the best.
If that won't work I'm afraid that your nand is damaged beyound repair, or some other partition is corrupt.
