If i understand correctly i need to flash a stock recovery, then twrp then whatever... but im having a problem flashing a stock recovery. Ive tired 3 different versions of Odin.

Android version 5.0.2. Secureboort is enabled and reactivation lock is on.

Reactivation Lock prevents anything custom from being flashed. Need to turn that off

all.
I have an i9505 on 3 UK that has been rooted for over 6 months. I've been running the excellent TW based Echo Rom but wanted to try an ASOP rom but quickly wanted to revert.
I tried to restore my Nandroid but this failed and screwed up the phone (dont ask)so back to ODIN and i flashed back to stock 4.4.2 firmware for the UK via Sammobile (NG8)
Now back to square 1 so attempted to reroot with CF Autoroot again via ODIN. all show pass and i get the black screen on the phone with the red android logo and line stating stock recovery restored. I then used ODIN to flash Philz recovery again shown as Pass, however when i try to get into recovery i get some small white text on the bkack background that is there too briefly to read before the phone reboots as normal.
The Su superuser app is there but states the Su binary is outdated and the phone has no root access.
Ive read a few methods to get round this but they all seem to follow the same process ive tried a few times now.
The Rom for Echoe is auto root so id have thought if i could get to recovery somehow i could just flash this ?
Any one any views or have i screwed up for good ? .
You will be fine.
If you want to flash a custom rom anyway the shortest way would be to just flash the custom recovery. You don't need root for that.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery and it should work.

so i reflashed Philz recovery and unchecked auto reboot. This then gives me PASS in ODIN. I guess then i unplug and try and activate recovery - but still nothing...it just boots up normally ?

GTI9505...(Bootloader i9505xxegng8)
Originally I tried philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.tar.md5
and then updated to philz_touch_6.23.9-i9505.tar.md5 with no avail.
Try redownloading it. If you say that if passes, then it should just work.
If it still fails then try TWRP. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing.
Could it be connected to me flashing a generic unlocked UK firmware on a 3 UK handset ?
That's sorted it ! Flashed CWM recovery and am now running Echoes v28.
Thanks for the help. I was really panicking for a while.
I wont be changing roms for a while but I guess if I did I won't lose root ?
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S5 G900F and when I try to flash a custom recovery on my phone via Odin I always get the fail logo.
I tried CWM and TWRP tried different guides with no success. I get a message of my phone screen "secure check fail : recovery".
What can I do to successfully Install a custom recovery? please help.
Thank you.
Grab TWRP 2.8.7.0 build and ODIN 3.10.6 and flash that

Didn't help.
still same problem.
After reading through a couple more forums I found that it was the Samsung Reactivation Lock that was blocking me. Upon booting the phone, going into Apps > Setttings > Security and then typing in my samsung account password I was able to disable the lock and then Download mode allowed me to root everything successfully.

Hello Rvl7,
I tried flashing philz touch version with no success, then I tried TWRP 2.8.7.0 withe Odin 3.10.6 and it worked like a charm. Now Im fully rooted with no problems.
Good afternoon guys,
i have a big issue with my galaxy s5 SM-G900S (korean version). I bought it as a refurbished device. Knox was on 0x1 so something may have been modified.
It came with the stock (?!) android 4.4.2 from march14. I tried to update but it returned a registration error. Probably because knox is 0x1
In any case, I activated usb debugging and tried to root the phone using cfautoroot and the corresponding root file: CF-Auto-Root-klteskt-klteskt-smg900s.zip which I still assume to be the correct one.
I used odin for flashing. The device was properly connected (blue).
Everything seemed to go smooth until the phone restart when it said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I tried several times with both odin 3.07 and 3.09 but i cannot pass this step. I also tried the method to untick auto reboot, shut the phone down manually and boot into recovery mode but it failed.
This means I am now stuck in the bootloop. I can access download mode, but i cannot reach recovery mode. Also the phone is not recognized by the computer if i try to connect it to adb, kies etc. Odin seems to connect properly still.
Alright how should i proceed now?? My actual target is to flash a custom rom. I will need to go for a dirty flash now correct? Should I flash a stock rom with odin? If yes, which one?
Please support me a bit, I am very frustrated on this topic, especially cause I still dont realize my mistake......
Merry Christmas and greets from Bavaria, Germany.

Flash the stock firmware to get out of boot loop. After flashing the stock firmware, everything should be working fine and booting again. Instead of using CF auto root, flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash the SuperSU zip.

Alright, Im back to stock android 4.4.2 now. Works perfect, aside from registration. If I click on "update now" it shows: SKT-USIM required.
Can someone link a detailed guide for flashing cm13? I checked the web but i still dont entirely understand.
In any case I do not want to risk going into a tricky situation once more.....
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a T580 stuck at Android 7.0 (failed to update).
Ideally, I'd want to change to custom ROM with smaller footprint. It's an old device with only 16 GB storage. I've tried to root the device but failed.
I think I can't flash custom ROM with Odin. So I have to flash to stock ROM first with Odin. And then probably go with TWRP and try a custom ROM.
Which stock ROM is the safest to do this?
Thanks

If you can still boot to 7, you don't need to flash another stock ROM. Just make sure OEM is enabled in Developer mode options and then flash TWRP. Then, you can use TWRP to flash custom ROMs. Just make sure you follow the instruction carefully when installing TWRP, because if you let it boot back to stock, it will just write over TWRP. You disable Auto reboot in the Odin options, so you can make it boot to TWRP before booting to system.

Read through this thread.
hello
is it possible to flash a custom rom via odin?
the reason i say this is for some reason now i cannot enable oem unlock in developer settings, keeps showing a device protection function and even when i click enable the slider switches on for a second then goes back. i have tried many stock roms using the latest versions from samsung.
so i am wondering if i can bypass the having to enable the oem unlock to flash twrp recovery then the custom rom and just flash custom rom straight from odin.

In simple terms, you can't flash anything thats not officially by samsung through odin or anything else if you don't have OEM Unlock enabled (or can't enable it due to any reason) ..
Plus as I know.. even if oem unlock is enabled.. odin can only flash official stock roms..
For flashing any custom rom you need to use twrp..
But twrp can be flashed through odin.
