Hi,
I have a GT-I9505 with the latest stock firmware (5.0.1) and I'd like to root it with Magisk. Is it possible? If so, I'm assuming I need to first flash TWRP recovery before flashing Magisk via TWRP?
Just to confirm, should I use the TWRP for jflte at https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys4internationalqualcomm.html ?
So I tried to flash TWRP recovery (twrp-3.2.3-0-jfltexx.img.tar) from Odin 3.07. Odin shows that it's been flashed successfully. However, after rebooting back to recovery, I don't get TWRP recovery but the Android system recovery. Did I do anything wrong?
There's a topic on how to root s5 already

I've installed twrp recoveries ver. 2.8.1.0, 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.7.0 on my galaxy s4 (i9500).
i flashed all 3 versions with odin and with TWRP manager. In all cases after rebooting the device into recovery the screen was frozen and i had to take the battery out in order to boot in download mode and to flash phils recovery.
I love TWRP recovery. what can i do to avoid the freeze?

my phone is rooted and i tried to flash with all odin versions 1.85 - 3.10
I have a Note 4 - 910G (India) currently running 5.0.1
I have managed to root the device. I can confirm that I have root access with an app like root checker. And yes, I've managed to trip Knox. At the custom boot screen, it shows Knox status as 0x1 (4).
My problem is that I can't install TWRP or any other custom recovery. I have followed the usual steps to install a custom recovery with flashify, TWRP installer and adb commands. Each time I try, the device reboots into odin mode (high speed) mode only. I then have to flash a custom recovery with Odin and the device reboots. However, even then.. if I try to boot to a bootloader, it still goes into the odin mode.
Is my device completely borked? Can I still install TWRP and then CM12.x on the device?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I too have a note 4 sm-n910G. I think ur TWRP file is corrupted or you got the wrong file. It should be easy to get custom recovery. I rooted my Note 4 using CF auto root and it had CWM recovery which i tried to flash in Odin but it wasnt working. So i changed to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and it worked perfectly. Maybe try changing the TWRP file, or use a different one like CWM or philz recovery. Good luck...
Hey guys
I flashed a gpe 5.1 Rom for my i9505.
But after flashing it I lost my TWRP Recovery and the Rom was not rooted. Now how can I root it again? And the rom is usually for i9505G but i works very well on my i9505, but the problem no root and no recovery anymore.
Are you able to reflash twrp using Odin and then flash supersu from twrp?

Can i use a twrp recovery for my s4 i9505? And it doesn't matter on which rom i am?
Find the version of twrp here that can be flashed via Odin: https://twrp.me/Devices/
Doesn't matter which rom you are using unless it is cm13 which is pre-rooted.

when the s4 is on it will be detected with no problem, but in download mode it wont be detected. i hate this rom so much
Did you download a stock GPE rom or one from the forum here?
As the stock GPE roms are the same as Samsung stock roms. Meaning that you lose root and custom recovery.
Anyway, have you tried installing SuperSU from the play store.
You can flash a recovery using flashify. But I guess this needs root. You also need the recovery.img to work.
cwm is the best for 505 try it it will be efficated
i want a rom for my samsung GT-I9505. Can I flash / install TWRP-recovery with Odin on my unrooted device ??? Or have I to use auto-root before flashing Twrp ??
You can use Odin to flash TWRP to an unrooted device.
Hello. I have SM-9005 and by mistake I flashed the latest TWRP (3.2.3.0) when it should be flashed the 2.8.7.0. Successfully I reverted to recovery and firmware stock, but when when I tried to flash again to use the TWRP 2.8.7.0 the phone enters in Odin mode and says it could not do normal boot. However, I always succeed in flashing the 3.2.3.0 version. From the file list my TWRP 2.8.7.0 is the hltexx version and still can't flash it.
Without that TWRP I can't instal the MAGMA roms. I tried installing older versions of TWRP but with no success. Any thoughts? Thanks.
P.S: already found the solution. Wrong TWRP
