Hi I m using sm p550 having Australian firmware as bought from there. I want to root it. I tried flashing twrp recovery using Odin. It says pass but don't load the recovery. I tried many times but didn't work. It also doesn't have oem unlock option in settings. Please help me how to solve it and root my device running on nougat 7.1
Make sure you follow the instructions:
You have to uncheck the "auto reboot" checkbox in the options tab. Flash the recovery in the AP-Slot. Turn the device off holding power + home + volume down; when the screen goes black switch to power + home + volume up. If you boot to Android then you have to reflash & retry.

Hi all. Could use some help. Not sure which step I am missing. I followed the Philz Touch instructions below and flashed the MD5 recovery package with Odin. First with the "Auto Reboot" option ticked, then without. Odin says successful but I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery. Am I using the wrong three buttons? When I tried it just came up the battery charging logo.
Should I not have "F. Reset Time" ticked?
boot into download mode
start odin3 and configure it as in picture below
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
Anyone? Can someone simply verify the 3-button reboot sequence?
I have a newly rooted Sprint GS4 which I updated to MF9 before rooting. I used Odin 1.85 to root it. I am now looking to install a custom recovery and kernel and eventually experiment with some different ROMs. I decided to go with the PHILZ Touch CWM based recovery and flashed the correct tar.md5 file based on his instructions listed here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39433857&postcount=4. However, I am running into the issues that he addresses regarding the phone auto-rebooting back into the main system and not into the newly installed recovery. I did as he said and un-checked the "auto reboot" option and tried again a couple times. Once it seemed to get stuck on the downloading screen when i unplugged the device after successful install via Odin, then I tried the same leaving the phone plugged into the computer and it seemed to get stuck on the battery charging logo. I am deftly afraid of bricking this thing so I was hoping someone who's done this can explain exactly which step I am missing. Thanks very much and thanks for the noob thread.

With the phone powered off, press and hold the power and volume up buttons, and when the phone vibrates, release the power button but not the volume button. You should get a screen saying booting recovery, followed by the recovery ROM.

Hi all,
I have a GT i9505 with cyanogenmod 11 installed.
I rebooted into recovery mode using the power menu option instead of the volume up + power + home option, which brought me into a cyanogenmod simple recovery mode. Soon I found my phone is stuck in this mode, pressing reboot phone only sends me back to this simple recovery mode.
I plugged my phone into my computer (that has kies installed), but windows 7 would only provide me with a "dee dee" noise and not able to detect my device.
I am quite frustrated now and don't know what to do. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried entering Odin Mode (Power + Volume Down) and reflashing a custom recovery again?
If not, download Odin 3.07 (you will find it on Google), put your phone into Odin Mode (as I told you earlier), and download a recovery in .tar or .tar.md5 format. Put the file into PDA (or AP if you use a newer version of Odin on your PC) and press Start. Check ONLY Auto-Reboot and Reset Time and not Repartition or anything!. Then, it will flash again the custom recovery and you should be able to enter it using Power + Volume Up.
It may be a bootloader problem. Since it won't boot in anything else but recovery. I had a similar problem with an Galaxy S Advance and flashing a bootloader did the trick.
OMG Thanks Villa_Man!!! You guys rock!
one more thing if you guys don't mind.
When I pressed power + home + volume up, it will still take me to cyanogenmod simple recovery instead of cwm which I have installed.
I am currently booting into cwm via the cwm app. Is there a way that I can change my default recovery to cwm so I can boot into it via the hardware button method?
Cheers guys
Has anyone successfully rooted the OTA version of 5.1.1 lollipop? I tried CF-Autoroot, and soft-bricked my tabled... I got a "Pass" using Odin 3.7 and 3.10 but each time it only got back to the animated Samsung logo and got stuck there for hours. Only way out of it was to hard reset, and then re-flash a stock 5.1.1 downloaded directly from Samsung... I am just wondering if there is an updated Towelroot, Cf-Autoroot file, or some other method which will ONLY give me root access. I don't want to which from stock rom, because there isn't a custom one with ALL features working properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
*Also again, if you tried any root method and you are stuck at the animated Samsung logo, then just boot your device into "Download" mode by powering off and then powering back on holding "Power + Down Volume + Home" keys, then press UP when asked if you want to enter DOWNLOAD mode... then flash the STOCK 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 firmware using ODIN 3.10. Click the "AP" tab, then choose the stock firmware file, and don't change ANY options.
Begin the flash, and it will take maybe 15 min and your tab will boot back up no prob. If you DO encounter a problem while flashing, then reboot into recovery mode by powering off then power on holding "Power + UP volume + Home" then choose "Wipe Data Factory Reset", then "Wipe Cache", and then REBOOT. Then Perform the first steps listed again (Download mode) and try the Odin Flash again. This should work, for any SMT330 device, I have tested this method myself.*

Hello :3 i performed the same steps but it just keeps corrupting my stock/current rom after i flash twrp. Some people face this same problem... What they can do is they can flash back the original samsung rom without the stock recovery, so then the twrp one will be there.

you need to uncheck reboot option from odin, After Pass success message on odin remove cable from your phone then press volume down + home + power off when black screen appears immediately manually boot it to twrp by pressing volume up + Home + Power on and you boot to twrp.

Big thanks to dzkouba!!! W/o your report I'd have probably given up because at the time of trying out your solution I've already spent 20+ hours trying to install TWRP on my SM-C9000 (Hong Kong).
For what it's worth, here are the things you will need to do in order to install TWRP on your SM-C9000:
Unlock the bootloader
Enable "OEM Unlock", which can only be done in version 7 (Nougat) or earlier Miracle Box didn't work for me.
Flash a TWRP version that's tailored for SM-C900F (as dzkouba suggested)
Hello there,
i am trying to install lineageos onto my old nexus 4. so far i used the offical installation instructions.
i go into fastboot with volume down + power
it says: secure boot - enabled and lock state - unlocked at the bottom of the screen
then i use fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-mako.img to flash recovery.
then i use the volume down button to select "recovery mode" and press the power button to confirm it.
then the screen turns black and nothing happens.
i tryed the two older versions from twrp with no luck. any other ideas?
