Need help flash TWRP thru ODIN.... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey guys. I'm trying to update my TWRP recovery but now I get the yellow triangle when to put the phone into recovery and lock icon before booting. I'm currently running 7.1.1 octos rom. The phone can boot fine but I don't have any working recovery right now. I tried using odin to flash several tar twrps but it constantly fails. I've used several cables too and 2 pc's to rule out connection problems but still the same. I'm out of ideas right now. I don't want to go flashing back to stock rom if I can get a working recovery thru odin. Thank you....
P.S. I tried to update my TWRP supposedly to 3.1. . . as it is preferred for flashing lineage oreo rom that's when my recovery goes bad.

Try reinstalling the TWRP that was working. It seems like the new TWRP isn't too compatible with our phones on the MDL bootloader. You might have to ODIN back to stock to fix it.

Can not flash TWRP recovery after stock ROM Android 5

Hi, I wrote it in ROM thread but here is maybe better.
I try to install custome ROM Omega 27.So I flashed stock ROM with android 5. Everythings works but now I wanted to flash custome recovery TWRP 2.8.7.0 for my LTE ROM and wanted to flash with Odin 3.09. And it didn't worked.
I browse twrp file to AP part in Odin and start to flash but it stops on beginning and nothing happens. I had to turn off Odin and tried it 5 times. Without success.
Pls. any suggestions?
Sorry , my bad, it was samsung drivers on computer.

safestrap....unable to mount /system...potential brick??

have rooted s5 on 4.4.4 nk2. Have been trying to install custom roms via safestrap. Apparently i am missing a step. I wipe data, try to install twi5ted Lollipop on custom rom slot....blank screen for over 30 min after reboot, phone gets real hot, take battery out. Try to install on stock rom slot, reboot then get stuck in boot loop and keeps booting into system recovery. I then saw through my hours of searching to format instead of wipe....so i format then try to install, get stuck again, take battery out, get back to safestrap dash now when i try to wipe/format/or even restore my backup it says unable to mount system. When i click reboot system it says no OS installed. After reboot, my custom slot gets erased.
I was about to try an odin flash back to stock but some how was able to get my phone back to a system restore. Why can i not get anything installed? Do i have to have odin to do a custom rom install?????? i know every rom is different but wtf. I have seen multiple videos and threads of people flashing zip via safestrap and rebooting into new rom without flashing kernals via odin or safestrap after rom install.
Also...my phone will not let me download zip files (ex. cm12.1) says unable to create download folder....how close to F'in my phone up am i? I have successfully rooted all phones in the past...s5 is giving me hell!
I just tried installing rom after format, then flash nk2 kernel from odin, still gives boot loop....ive tried everything i have found..never this much problem with custom rom..
When you try to install twisted it needs lollipop firmware which is flashed on odin, and based on your statement it says you're on NK2, a kitkat firmware. Try flashing a stock ncg tar and rerouting, downloading apps, etc. on the phone to see if that works. Also, I noticed you mentioned a cm 12.1 zip not downloading which, while unrelated to your current problem, will cause a bootloop when flashed due to the locked bootloader on the S5, so it isn't a smart idea to even attempt an install.

thanks, i will try fresh from start ncg. so you have to be on the current kernel that you are flashing a rom for, whether its CM, Twi5ted, Alliance...etc i need to be on rooted 5.0 kernel then flash rom via safestrap?
i was having problems downloading from internet on phone, not downloading rom if thats what you thought i meant. I just tried installing zip for CM 12 via safestrap and got same issue. Phone reboots, goes to black screen and eventually heats up like crazy. .... I just noticed, after my restore ...again... it says safestrap disabled in red on the boot screen, why is that? it says installed and tried reinstalling.
FIXED
So i flashed ncg from odin on the messed up phone and got messed up worse. Ended up getting stuck on first boot image of samsung android s5 boot screen. Finally found original stock firmare file and used odin to complete install stock os and got rid of root. Now back to normal... luckily i figured it out my self! thanks to the 100's who viewed and didnt help and thanks to mrjiggywiggy for giving me some input to help out!

no custom recovery after flashing UHOJ4 bootloader

Hi,
I had several problems with custom rom, so I went back to stock ROM (latest MOB version) to start everything new.
Now I got the problem that it is not possible to flash CWM or TWRP again (tried different versions to flash with odin). I also tried to get back to UHOL2 bootloader and modem, bootloader is now UHOL2 but also custom recovery not working.
Any ideas how to get TWRP working again?
Thx
Jürgen
Can you root it?
Then you might be able to use flashify to flash the recovery.img

Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin.
used CF Auto root - Phone Info says that root is working
which recovery.img should I try - CWM or TWRP doesn't matter for me
TWRP. CWM is outdated.
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP trough Odin and removing battery was the solution!
Thx
Selecting auto reboot after flashing twrp causes the stock recovery to overwrite twrp and this is why the phone should be booted into twrp right after flashing.

Note 3 SM-N9005, Can't Boot to recovery.

My N9005 is unable to boot into recovery, whenever i try it will start to boot and then just restart itself.
When trying to reboot normally the cyanogenmod loading screen is very laggy and it just reboots after a while.
occasionally it will start normally (1/20 tries).
I tried to reflash twrp with odin but it makes no difference.
Cyanogenmod version 12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-hlte.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Flash stock rom via Odin to get a working phone.
Or restore your Nandroid.
Reflashed stock rom and phone was working perfectly. stock recovery was also working.
Then rooted with CF-autoroot and it went well.
Then i tried to install TWRP custom recovery and it still won't let me boot to recovery.
Android version is 5.0 if that matters?
Edit: Managed to make it work with another version
Did you find a solution? I have thee same issue
Thanks
HELP with n9005 custom recovery
HI i have the same problem with n9005 i have rooted but whenever i flash twrp or cwm i end up with no recovery..phone shows set warranty but recovery msg then reboot to system...any help?
CWM no longer used .
You are probably flashing the wrong TWRP .
No i have verified the info and I have the correct twrp but still can't get it to run
same here
good evening everyone,
I come back to this forum because I have this beautiful phone that I can not update the android version 9.
On the recovery I can not go beyond the version 2.8.7.0, if I try to put a more recent version it remains in bootloop even if I restart manually.
To know that I have the HTLE model, the only thing is that I replaced the screen with a Chinese model.
then I put the original version back via odin and it goes back to version 5.
I am completely desapointed, I do not know what to do to put it under android 8+ !!!!
PLEASE HELP

S8 G950F - stuck on verification following unroot.

hi
ive got a s8, which was rooted using magisk, but was having issue, so was advised to unroot, remote and try superSU instead.
in the process of flashing stock rom AND 8.0, the phone now boots up to black screen showing verification failed, only option to reset.
when i press reset, all it does is restarts, loads up TWRP which had been installed before,
TWRP runs some program and fails and then phone goes back to black screen showing verification failed.
ive booted it into download mode, in the hope that i can just start again by simply lashing fresh stock rom, but it connects to odin fine, but when i click start, it gives a red error every time.
so i cant access the standard recovery menu as ive got TWRP so that loads instead and it looks as that is corrupted and i cant flash new fresh rom from download as odin brings up issue
ive check another phone and there is no issue with odin or the usb-c cable,
there is an issue with the s8 and odin does not like something in the s8 so wont let me flash anything to it,
any advice would be greatly appreicated.
When you flashed the stock rom using odin did you flash a bootloader aswell as the rom or did you just flash the rom the problem might be that the bootloader was for pie and the rom is oreo or vice versa whenever I flash back to stock I fill all but one of the boxes in odin
i suspect it was all oreo, as i downloaded as a complete file but ill check and get back to you
thanks for advice.
