[SOLVED] Help! Problem with flashing twrp on my A40! - Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers

So, i tried to flash twrp on my galaxy a40 through odin, i did it step by step as it should be done, odin said pass, but it didnt. I rebooted, and it immediately booted into download mode, again and again, whenever i tried to reboot. I tried everything i know i could try, but nothing works. Is there any way to get the twrp on it? Thanks.

Have you enabled USB debugging and OEM unlocked the phone (in the settings)?

What phone do you have? You need to flash original rom via odin. I think that your phone is bricked.

it often happens quiet it can be solved very simply by installing the patched Vendor if you want I can send you the vendor that you will have to flash it with odin and then restart the phone and return to download mode and flash TWRP from the official website

the phone behaves similarly without vbmeta installed.

update your bootloader and load your recovery via ODIN like you said, this should work

Help installing recovery

Hi, just bought an S5 G900F (international version)... and i wanted to install a custom recovery than root.. than flash rom. Im experienced in this matter... but ... im having all sorts of odd problems. I tried several reocvery (openrecovery, twrp, philztouch)... non stick when i reboot?
I tried several times... odin says everything installed fine.
I wanted to install cf-root... i did it win odin and when phone restarted it says: "recovery booting.... recovery is not seandoird enforcing ... set warranty bit : recovery
Who can help me??
PS Im on lollipop 5.0 if it makes any difference. All attempts were realized with different versions of odin
People have success with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and ODIN 3.10.6
Then SuperSU from TWRP if it sticks

Tried no luck. I simply get the stock recovery all the time after restart

Try unchecking "Auto reboot" in ODIN, and once the flash has finished, pull the battery, replace and boot into recovery
just tried it... still no go (... do you think i would have more success trying from adb?
Lol this phone has smth against me.
Tried adb: as long as i have it in "desktop" mode adb devices finds it; as soon as i adb reboot bootloader, using the fastbootdevices... adb doesnt see it anymore... so i cant proceed to the flashig
I know you know what you're doing when it comes to this stuff, as you said
But just to make sure, can you post the exact step by steps you're using to try and flash CF Auto-Root and TWRP etc with ODIN?
Yes of course. As i doesn't work for me... i (even) hope im doing something wrong, so we can get to the bottom of this.
So, installed S5 drivers, Enabled usb debuggin in phone (dev menu). Put phone in dl mode (vl dwn+power+home), open odin, select at AP the recovery (tried about 3 recoveries, older versions and newer ones, twrp, phil, open). I have both (by default) checked auto reboot and f-reset time... connect phone with usb cables (tried 2) (connected directly to mb, no extension)... hit start... get the pass message.. phone resets... goes into android. I power off, go to recovery mode (vl up+power+home) and... i get the stock recovery every single time.
Tried something wierd... flashed through Odin CF-root first (with intention to flash after twrp ... as it says phone needs to be rooted first)... it flashes ok (odin says pass, successful 1), reboot (or go to recovery mode)... i get that seandroid error.
Tried to to with with apps from android as well... it doesnt let me.. obviously as most ask phone to be rooted.
What am I missing?
Those are the correct steps, it definitely should have flashed
Doing this from a native PC yes? Ive seen people trying it from Macs and it fails every time
Only thing I can think of right now is try using a different PC
You don't need USB debugging enabled for flashing with ODIN, download mode has no idea what settings you have enabled in Android
Like your method, I just do this:
Samsung Drivers (KIES3 installs them for you anyway)
Vol Down & Home & Power for Download Mode
Connect phone to PC USB
Leave ODIN defaults set (3.09 or 3.10.6)
Select CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5 in AP/PDA section of ODIN
Wait for it to become ready
Hit start
Phone reboots, and I have root
You could try factory resetting the phone, and trying again, see if that does anything, or at least clear the caches from stock recovery first

Help!!! think i bricked it!

So I am working on a SM-T230nu for a buddy, We were going top root it for him but after I installed twrp he took it home and i dont know what he did. I think he tried flashing twrp again, but it failed and he just rebooted.
point being that at this point it is a black screen, but when i plug it into the computer i get the "rocovery has encountered an issue , select recover in kies and try again" screen but it only flashes it for an instant every ten seconds. and the computer does not recognize it. when i go to odin it does not show any connected devices. i already tried every button combination and opened her up and pulled the battery ribbon, but it does the same thing as soon as i plug it back in. Has anyone seen this before? is there any way to get back to recovery mode?
Go to Download Modus.
Go into Odin and install a stock rom.
The Recovery should be overwritten with the standard one.
Then it should work and you can install TWRP again.
That works for me when i had a bootloop.
infinite reboot
I have the same situation, but already I flashed the stock rom, and the problem continue, infinite reboot, I can't into recovery mode, only download mode.....any idea?
You can also install a recovery with odin. I would try first to do that and then install another rom. No error in odin installing stock rom?

G900F stuck in Odin mode

Hi, I hope that someone can help me revive my S5. I was on resurrectionremix rom but decided to see what pure N5 rom was like. I asked up my rom then done the normal procedures & installed the N5 rom which booted up fine, after playing around with it for a Shor while I decided that I prefer resurrectionremix so I booted into twrp recovery, factory wiped as i have done many times in the past, when it had finished I rebooted but I stead of booting into life I was confronted with 'Downloading,... Do not turn off target' see attached picture & now I am unable to boot up. I have removed the battery and sim for 5 mins but nothing. If this has been posted before please could you direct me to it. Thankyou in advance
Did you restore your backup?
Flash TWRP again
Yes, tried flashing twrp recovery with Odin but still goes to the same. Trying to download the stock firmware from Samsonite but it keeps failing

Use samfirm tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Just enter SM-G900F and BTU in the top left panels, and tick automatic for the rest
Then check the "Automatically decrypt" on the right, and hit download
When you flash TWRP with ODIN, flash TWRP 3.0.0.0, and uncheck "Auto reboot" in ODIN
Once it completes the flash, disconnect USB and pull the battery to power off, then replace battery and immediately boot into recovery with Volume Up & Home & Power
Thanks for your help, appreciated
