Lost my charging screen when device is powered off, it boots into recovery (TWRP) - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Not sure what I screwed up... I recently tried installing chainfire root via ODIN onto my Note 4 (trltexx) running 6.x and it got stuck on trying to boot recovery.
Then I flashed back to stock 6.0.1, and rooted by installing TWRP 3.0.2-0 via Odin, then flashing latest SuperUser.
So now I'm on 6.0.1 stock, rooted, but whenever I plug the device in while it's powered off it just fires up TWRP. I don't have the charging icon screen anymore...
Does any body know what partition I messed up and how I would fix that? I'd rather it not launch TWRP whenever I plug it in to charge. (Doesn't do this when it's already on, just when it is powered off).
Thanks,
Levi

Looked into the chainfire root package and saw that it flashes not only recovery but also the cache partition. So I went into TWRP and wiped the cache. Looks like problem solved, charging screen is back.
Hopefully this post helps somebody else in the future!

From CynogenMod to WanamLite - Help me get there!

Hi,
I'm currently running CyanogenMod KitKat version with ClockWorkMod. Since the rom has several bugs and for the past few months they haven't published any updates to my Galaxy s4 I9505, I've decided to switch to WanamLite.
There I found out I need TWRP recovery so I went ahead and downloaded GooManager which installed an outdated version, as I've found out.
I tried wiping my internal storage as recommended but the recovery couldn't mount any of my partitions.
So now CyanogenMod won't boot. I know this issue is fixed in the updated version of TWRP but I'm not sure how to update it without the phone booting (Odin perhaps? It doesn't recognize it currently... Should I move to download mode for it to be detected?)
Anyways, I'm kind of stuck as of now. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Btw I have a question, what's the difference between using Odin 1.85 and 3.09? Why do people still use the old version?
Thanks in advance!!

Edit:
Alright, now I can't get into recovery either. When I try, I can see the Samsung logo and there's "recovery" written in the top left but then it just restarts again into the same logo without "recovery". I'm starting to lose my cool now. Anyone have any ideas?
Try flashing latest stock through download mode and see if it boots.

Flash this recovery through odin. It's TWRP 2.6.3.1. Worked alwys for me.:fingers-crossed:

Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin.
Thank guys
I got freaked out and just did everything I could to make the phone working again.
I found a thread on XDA explaining how to return your phone to stock version, so I followed it, rooted with auto root, (btw Odin didn't recognize my phone because I used the front usb... how annoying!), then flashed the latest TWRP (2.7.0.1, not 2.6.x.x as GooManager downloaded for me), then booted to recovery and flashed WanamLite.
Everything is working now!
Except one thing - I'm still not able to access recovery mode through physical buttons, only using boot apps. Is this a kernel issue?
Could be some incompatibility since CyanogenMod uses it's own kernel and CWM recovery.
The recovery itself is working fine, but when I try to access it using buttons it shows the Samsung logo with the recovery on the top left, and then reboots again to normal boot.
What do you think?
Thanks!

[Q] ODIN fails while installing TWRP, stuck at boot

I was trying to upgrade from CM11 to CM12, which went smooth except for GAPPS closing constantly. I read online that this was caused by an old version of the recovery, so I tried to update TWRP to 2.8.4.0. I first tried using the TWRP app from the Play Store (after recovering my Nandroid backup), which locked the phone where it would only try booting into recovery, but couldn't get there. Holding the power button to turn it off would result in a reboot right back into recovery, which of course never went anywhere. Now I am trying to re-install TWRP using ODIN but It fails every time [Complete(Write) operation failed.] I have an early S4 from AT&T and it has never had an official update. I can't remember which firmware it is using, but it is the original so I shouldn't have any problems there. Can anybody help me get this thing up and running with either TWRP or CWM and CM12 please?!
Update: I have been able to get the phone to boot by first booting into Download mode, then hitting the Volume Down button to cancel. This has twice booted it back into the OS. Still no recovery though.
Solved
I was able to install TWRP 2.8.4.0 from the app after getting the device to boot. It worked correctly this time and all appears to be well. Odd that ODIN didn't work though.

Samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900V 6.0.1 bootloop

Hi i tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V 6.0.1 but made a fatal mistake. I put kernel file for lollipop 5.0 in odin and now its stuck in an infinite bootloop. I tried factory data reset and wipe cache partition but it didnt work. Need help!
Hi. I did the same mistake like a week ago. and the only fix is installing android 6.0.1 again is the only sollution.
Use Odin to reflash kernel or stock rom. If you have twrp flash another rom.

Hi, I have a 900T. I don't know if I have the same problem. I have 6.0.1, and got the boot loop. I reflashed it off of rapidgator, and it worked, but after I powered the phone down, it is stuck in the loop again, and reflashing doesn't work. Well, it sort of works, but when it loads onto the phone after success with Odin, it says "erasin" half way through and goes back to loop. I am a noob, so I am not sure what kernel or stock rom or twrp are. Thanks!

I tried 5.0 and it does the same thing. Success on Odin, phone restarts and starts to load the firmware, then it stops in the middle and resets to the boot loop. Is my phone hard bricked?

Nexus 4 only boots to fastboot/download mode, otherwise stuck in bootloop. Need help.

I was running cm12.1 a while ago, and updated to cm13. It broke one of my apps that i used on a regular basis at the time, so i tried downgrading back to cm12.1. The OS rebooted into twrp, but nothing happened. I rebooted but it wouldn't let me out of twrp/fastboot/download mode.I tried wiping the data and re flashing cm12.1, nothing. same issue. I downloaded a different custom recovery (a version of clockwork mod) but i believe it was in the wrong format and when i tried to overwrite my recovery with this other one in twrp, my phone stopped booting into recovery at all, and only download mode or fastboot, besides bootlooping when plugged in and not holding any volume buttons or power. The nexus 4 itself IS unlocked and rooted, and was working fine before this happened. I don't know what to do, and i hope someone can help me.

A300H booting into recovery problem

After rooting my Galaxy A300H, it boots into recovery when completely shut down and powered on. I then have reboot the phone manually from TWRP. The same thing happens while charging when powered off. I know this isn't much of a problem since I can boot into the system but it's really annoying at times. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
TWRP version: 3.1.1-0, installed using flashify.
ROM: Currently LOS 14.1 20170529 but the same happens with stock ROM.
Root method: Odin v3.12.6 (cf-autoroot)
Come on, nobody?
Have you tried to flash twrp with odin instead, and then flash supersu in twrp?

I had the same problem before I fix it by flashing twrp via Odin
