I recently wanted put FloydRom onto my S7 edge. I've done this several times before, but this time my home button wasn't working. I used adb reboot download to go into odin mode, flashed twrp but now can't switch from odin to recovery because my home button doesn't work. Any suggestions are appreciated

So i rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 today, and i was told by my friend to use clockworkmods recovery before i start using custom roms. Since there was no option for a gt-i905 on there, i went to the internet and i found a .tar file that had gt-i905 compatibility. SO, through the amazing power of odin, i went into download mode and "installed" clockworkmods. According to odin, it was successful. According to my phone it was not. IT couldnt boot in to recovery and it always went back into download mode saying that it could not boot properly and that it was in odin mode. So pulled the battery out and went back in to download mode and instead of volume up, i pressed volume down to restart the phone. The turned back on normally.BUT, everytime i attempt to go back into recovery, it shoves me back into download mode. I have no idea what i did and i would like to know if there was anyway of fixing such problem?
Thanks

Very easy to Fix it...
If you are rooted install Mobile odin, search on XDA not on Google in S4 I9505 section For a Recovery...
Download it (Make sure it is the right file)
Put it in Odin and just press flash...
Enjoy...
If there is a Problem check your device and flash the stock firmware from Samsung and then Flash again the recovery....
Hit thanks if i helped...
Hi. I seem to be having alot of problems trying to get my S5 to work again. The phone is stuck in a boot loop and won't go into recovery mode or download mode. When I press volume down + home and power button i can get to the warning message asking to press up to go to download mode. Pressing volume up does nothing
I have bought a download mode jig that forced it to download mode and in successfully flashed a stock ROM using Odin. After flashing the phone reboots and hangs on booting recovery mode. Have tried many different versions of stock ROM and it still doesn't boot up. I even flashed a custom recovery and it won't boot to recovery
I have managed to fix alot of phones over the years that have software problems but this has really got me stumped.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Long story short - when using wifi my s7 edge started to restart several times until it got to boot loop. I tried various things, enter and exit download mode, factory reset, partition cache clear, nothing helped. I tried to flash stock firmware several times (different versions) but it didn't help. I can go to recovery and download mode, odin recognizes the device and passes the flashing, however it does not boot. Always stuck on "galaxy s7 edge" screen.
Do you guys have any idea what could I do? I was thinking about installing twrp, however will I be able to install it if the setting in developers setting "OEM unlock" was not enabled?

Hello,
You don't have to worry, your phone isn't broken, i flash roms every day so i'm very familiar with does kind of "Errors". I'm here to assist you.
So without the OEM Unlock option enabled your phone won't be able to boot to recovery neither system if you flash a custom rom, flashing the stock firmware via Odin is the only way so try does steps:
1. Download stock firmware for your model from sammobile.
2. Extract the files and place them in the correct tab.
3. Disable auto-reboot in option panel.
4. Soon after it finish flashing, long press volume down and power button until screen turns off, then quickly press volume up, home button and power button.
5. Phone should now boot to recovery from which you have to do a factory reset and wipe cache/data.
6. Restart system.
Phone should boot just fine now, it might take 5 minutes for the first boot, if you're stuck for more than 5 minutes i would kindly ask you to take a picture of your log in recovery.
If you manage to boot the phone go to developer settings and enable OEM unlock then you can flash TWRP and from TWRP a custom rom.
If you have questions and still need help, feel free to pm me for anything, i'm here to help you!
Grettings,

So I took it to the service, it was a faulty motherboard.
I have same issue with my s7 edge, but with AT&T version (G935A). I couldn't find the firmware from sammobile as previous instruction from SwitchDeath. Do I have any other option to download the firmware from other source? Nothing seem to work for me from all other forum instructions and downloads, it just stuck in "galaxy s7 edge" screen on and off and not reboot at all. Please help!
I'm hoping someone can help as I a seem stuck trying to reinstall Twrp on my Spring S6Edge Plus G928P phone. I previously did have twrp installed but needed to reinstall stock nougat after a failed lineage os install attempt.
After each attempt to install twrp with Odin and attempt to access recovery I get a blank/dark screen, and no default or twrp recovery screens.
As far I know I have done everything correct.
11. Have developer mode turned on and OEM Unlock and Usb debugging turned on.
2. Press Vol-Down, Home, and Power to access to download mode.
3. With odin, installing the latest twrp for Sprint; twrp-3.2.3-0-zeroltespr.img.tar
4. I have auto reboot turned off in Odin when flashing the twrp file.
5. After the successful flash, I then unplug from USB. hold Vol-down, Home, Power till it turns off, then immediately over to Vol-Up, Home, Power.
And then just on a black screen.
I am then forced to enter download mode again via Vol-Down, Home, Power and with Odin reinstall the stock image.
Is there something I'm missing?
Finally had success tonight. I'm not sure why but I think maybe there is an issue with installing the latest twrp version 3.2.3 directly.
I had success getting twrp 3.0.2 installed after first using CFAR and the twrp app. After that again with the twrp app was able to get the latest 3.2.3 installed.
Now hopefully I get the lineage OS installed for a test run.
As a said in the title my phone wasn't booting so i tried to flash with odin. I downloaded firmware file (A510FXXU8CSK2_A510FOJV8CSD1_A510FXXU8CSK2_HOME.tar.md5) SamFirm and Flashed with Odin. I tried different vesions of Odin, flashing was successful always but my phone never booted, I never see a samsung logo. I tried to enter recovery mode with Power, Volume Up, Home buttons but I couldn't enter.
What should I do? Thanks for helps.
Edit: Flashed "COMBINATION_FAC_FA51_A510FDXXU8ASE1_FAC_CL9213193_QB23999545_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.md5" and a custom patch. Now I can use my phone with all functions and updated to Android 7.
