Hello there,
So I was trying to update the android version on my Note 3, because android 5.0 is outdated and vastly unsupported. I rooted my phone correctly, and flash TWRP onto it with Odin v3.10.6. But every time I try to boot into recovery, it simply goes into the Odin flash screen. I'm not able to access the recovery, and not able to install the rom (Lineage OS).
I have tried re-flashing the rom.
If there is any solution to this, please let me know.
Thank you.
Search your question answered many times .
Usual is you are flashing a TWRP for the wrong model .
Try an older TWRP and then upgrade TWRP .
There is no need to root the phone before flashing TWRP.
WARNING: there is always a risk of bricking a phone whenever flashing files with Odin. Be prepared to deal with a possibly bricked phone.
This method has worked for several of my Samsung phones:
Download Odin 3.07: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
Download the tar version of TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote3qualcomm.html
Open Odin, do not check anything except for f reset time. Place TWRP in the PDA slot, flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to boot into recovery.
The T-Mobile Note 3 forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile
Thanks!
Thanks So Much!
I was able to bot into the recovery and install lineage OS!
:good::good:
Glad it worked for you
I need some help anyone. My hlte has been on lollipop for a long time. But decided to try some new roms, haven't flashed in a few years. Anyway I was using the newest twrp and tried flashing a few ROMs but they were unsuccessful. I know from experience that formatting the system deleted all personal data in twrp, so I flashed Philz touch recovery to clean my system for a clean rom install. After that I flashed the last zip file for hlte from the twrp website. And now recovery doesn't boot, but download mode will boot. But I think someone was in my settings before the flash, and disabled USB debugging possibly, because my computer will not detect it. Tried several cables, and other computers, but still will not recognize my note 3. Maybe it's in charging only mode? Because it charges. Is there any hope? Please help if you can. Thanks
TWRP usual is user is using wrong TWRP for the rom .
USB debugging is not needed .
Install Samsung USB drivers to PC . Flash stock rom via Odin .
USB contacts for charging are separate from the USB contacts for data.
It's possible that the USB port on the phone is defective.

Hello everyone. I used Albe95 N5+S6 Port rom for my GT-i9500 and it worked flawlessly. I had TWRP recovery. After a lot of using I thought to re-flash the rom and start using it new, so I reinstalled the Rom file on my external SD card and flashed the rom using TWRP recovery and it was a success, but then I noticed I accidentally backed up some things which I didn't wanted to I re-flashed the Rom again, but this time when I (in recovery mode) wiped the data, I chose "Advanced Wipe" or "Advanced Reset" (It was something like that I don't exactly remember. So after that I reflashed the rom and when I had to press "Reboot" a message appeared above saying "Looks like super user is not installed in your phone. Do you wish to install it?" I said Yes and the screen went blank. I tried to reboot but It didn't. I removed the battery and then put it back again and tried to get into recovvery but recovery seemed to be lost and I ended up in Samsung's own factory mode where we have options like reboot, flash using external sd card, flash using adb, enable cp logging and etc. I tried to flash back everything but nothing works. Tried Odin and tried flashing custom firmware but it fails. If I reboot Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 comes on screen and then it goes blank no boot animation or anything like that. Please help me, Your help will be highly appreciated
I used advanced wipe many times before, I'm pretty sure something else caused your dilema.
And most Odin fail messages are caused by the USB cable, PC USB ports (back ports are recommended) and Windows version.
So what should I do now?
If the problems are caused by the above mentioned, you should obviously try to change things up.
It appears that your phone is in soft-brick.
Also, you lost your TWRP.
Check your bootloader version and install the stock firmware via odin. (If you still fail in odin, As GDreaper pointed out, odin fail could cause by usb cable, port and windows version so you need to keep changing until it works)
Root the phone. Reinstall the TWRP.
Then flash the custom rom again. When you install the custom rom please follow the cooker (custom rom maker) instructions on wiping.
Thanks for your comment. I'm kind of a noob, how do I check bootloader version? and how will I know after checking my bootloader version which stock firmware to install?
Bootloader has nothing to do with it.
If you flash a stock firmware, the Bootloader will also be updated to whatever Bootloader the download firmware has.
The only situation where the Bootloader would matter is if you try to go from lollipop to kitkat, in which case it will fail.
Thank you. My device is back now.
I am glad to hear that your problem is solved.
When I was on kit-kat, I did not check my bootloader version and flash the stock firmware with older version of bootloader which tripped the knox counter on my i 9500. That was why I said to check the bootloader version before installing the stock firmware. You can use app like phone info to see the bootloader info. Then install the firmware with the same or newer bootloader.
I recomend to Update drivers, Windows, Bootloader install Samsung Kies and Install TWRP again, After stock
Hi,
I tried to install CWM on my rooted Note 3 N9005 with the latest 5.0 updates and the default recovery kept overwriting the custom. So I followed the advice on an article to delete the files [/system/recovery-from-boot.p] [/system/etc/install-recovery.sh] an this made my phone to fall in a loop, booting and trying to find these files then rebooting and so on...
I then had no choice but to load the stock ROM via ODIN which fixed the loop.
Is there anyway to install a custom recovery on a Note 3 running 5.0 - I want to do this in order to continue and install a custom ROM.
Thanks in advance for the answers!!
Don't use cwm as it has not been updated for a long time. Download the latest tar version of twrp for your phone.
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash twrp, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait about 5 seconds, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery.
Thank you!!
What did the trick was that I quickly removed the battery and went to recovery mode. Even with "Auto Reboot" deselected the phone rebooted so if I left it it would have overwritten again the custom recovery.
Just a quick note to help others... anyone trying to flash Darklord or Phronesis ROM... USE TWRP v.2.8.0 and not the latest. The latest version for some reason won't install the ROMs.
thanx this wad so heapful .

You're in the wrong forum by the way. This is for Samsung Galaxy Tab A Series not for Samsung Note 3's.
But I'll still help.
NEVER EVER TRY INSTALLING TWRP AND THEN CWM!!! THAT WILL BREAK THE BOOT IMAGE!
So, Odin does not work, so you should try downloading the latest version of ODIN from the ODIN website.
Then download your firmware from Updato.com (Press OS Updates on the top of the webpage)
Type in your model number and it should come out with results.
Press the right firmware and the country (I'm assuming you live in the US so choose XAR if you have it unlocked. If it is locked then it would be SPRINT or something like that. Reply back if you need help finding that.)
Download it (takes about 5 minutes for me)
Turn off your device and go to Download Mode (Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button)
Open up ODIN on your PC and then plug in your device to the PC with a USB cord.
Wait until it says Device Added!
Press the AP Slot and find the firmware
After finding it, press OK and then press START on the ODIN application.
THERE! YOU ARE DONE! Your Device should take a few minutes and it should be back to original.
If you are having a problem, then reply back to me and I'll answer you preferably at 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM. (I go to school.)
Hope I helped!

Hello,
I have a SM-A700FD. Some time ago I installed a ROM from xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-t3462703) The ROM ported from c7.
Now I am trying to go back to the stock ROM, but I just can not flash any rom.
Some reasons:
1. The PC doesn't recognize the phone (neither download mode, neither recovery, neither with a ROM). I tried in 4 different PCs;
2. I've got the recovery TWRP. I can flash the ROM, but the phone is stock in the boot screen.
3. Without the connection between the phone and the PC I just cant use the ODIN. Then I cannot flash again the stock ROM.
4. I had success flashing the CM 12.1 (UNNOFICIAL, but the ROM is old and full of bugs). Neither the resurrection rom, neither stock works on my phone.
5. The phone goes to download mode and recovery mode. My custom recovery is a TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Then I tried many ROMS (AOSP and stock, flashing by recovery) and all of them stops on boot logo.
Anyone got any suggestion?
Thanks.
Regards.

You need to wipe your data partition. AOSP/CM based roms and stock roms do not have compatible DATA partitions.
The rom I installed wasnt aosp. Made the wipe already... Nothing changes.

If you don't have a hardware problem then the procedure below should restore the device to a bootable state.
Wipe data
Install stock with odin
Wait at least 10 mins for boot to complete.
Well. Tried but, as I said, my pc (tried in até least 4 different PCs) doesnt recognize my cellphone.
Thats not hardware. It appeared just when I tried tô change the rom.
Srry.

1- Load the following Samsung USB drivers for Windows:
http://samsungusbdriver.com/download/samsung-driver-v1-5-61-0
2- Install the drivers while you mobile is disconnected.
3- Put your mobile into download mode. (Vol Down + Power)
4- Run Odin and then connect your mobile after (It has to be recognized by assigning you a port number COMx in Odin under ID:COM).
5- Make sure that only F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are checked under the ODIN Options tab (IMPORTANT: NOTHING ELSE IS CHECKED)
6- Select you Stock ROM in the AP tab of Odin and as soon as it is loaded hit Start.
7- The phone will restart and wait for few minutes till the Stock ROM builds its caches, optimizes its apps and start.
Hope this helps you restore your stock ROM and tell me how it went

Hi.
I made the procedure you said. First of all, Thanks.
The odin doesn't recognize the Phone.
The rom I installed in the first moment was Port from c7. I got that messages "warranty bit kernel" "Keynes is not seandroid".
Maybe something went wrong in that place.

Ok then it seems you have a bootloader problem. I suggest you unzip your A700FD stock ROM tar.md5 file by deleting the md5 extension (Rename SM-A700FD-ROM.tar.md5 to SM-FD700-ROM.tar), then unzip the ROM.tar file using WinRAR or 7Zip. Now you will have all the ROM partitions files including boot.img and system.img files as well as others. I suggest you place both files on your external SD Card via the PC (using a card reader) and then flash both from within TWRP (You can change in TWRP to flash img files instead of zip files) while formatting the data and cache partitions and reboot.
I believe that way you can restore the boot.img and system.img partitions, correct any corruption in the boot and system partitions and can flash the whole ROM again using ODIN or flash any other custom ROM (non ported) as soon as your mobile gets recognized by your PC.
Let me know how it went.. Good luck
Thanks a lot. I did not think in that way. I'll try and then ill post here if that worked. Thanks a lot.

Hello guys
My phone is Galaxy S7 Edge Duos- SM935FD. I seem to have bricked the device.
Below are the actions I have performed.
1. Flashed TWRP using ODIN as described on https://www.the***********.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/
2. Booted successfully into the OS. Found superuser app installed.
3. When I went to back to Flash ROM i erased multiple things such as internal storage/dalvik/cache/system after which device got stuck in bootloop. Showing NO OS.
4. I tried flasing Custom ROM Zip files through OTG. The process failed showing package corrupt and still stuck in bootloop.
I can enter recovery/download mode however cant seem to get the device booted. How can I get the device to work either Custom or stock ROM.
I will be going through some threads in the meantime, your guidance is very much appreciated.
Flash stock rom with Odin: This shouldnt be posted on Development Forum but rayher questions and Answers.
Find what your Stock Firmware for your phone is using Sammobile and flash stock then re do rooting and TWRP Process
zzThrain is right -- I wouldn't risk flashing custom ROMs at this stage, especially because many contain new bootloaders or other stuff that might make this even worse for you. Just pick up the relevant Samsung stock ROM file (from, for example, SamMobile) and see if it boots normally again. Once it does, re-do the process *after checking all MD5s of the files you used* -- I, too, have had it happen before that a download went corrupted and I flashed it. If all is well, get into Download Mode and let Odin rip.

Go to recovery mode & transfer rom to phone using pc. wipe cache, delvikcache, data only. No need to wipe internal sd. Install rom & reboot.
if you phone goes to recovery or download mode, no need to worry. If it doesn't go to neither recovery nor download mode, them your phone might have probably bricked.
It's my pleasure to help you if you still facing this problem

Hi
I tried flashing stock rom from sammobile. I could find for SM-935FD hence downloaded SM-935F.
It got stuck at 90% showing System in ODIN.
From the ZIP file which is the file that needs to be flashed among below ? I tried AP.
AP_G935FXXU2DRB6_CL12365438_QB16944063_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar
BL_G935FXXU2DRB6_CL12365438_QB16944063_REV00_user_low_ship.tar

HOME_CSC_OJV_G935FOJV2DRAG_CL12785220_QB16560277_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
Now when I try again it immediately shows FAIL. Am i Flashing the right stock rom ?
It Worked. Thanks to all who helped.
I wasn't running ODIN as Admin and also was using an slightly older version V3.10.7.
