Hi,
I was trying to get CWM recovery onto my phone but I believe something went wrong. Whenever my phone turns on, it goes straight into download mode with the message in red saying "could not do normal boot" with the ODIN mode and such listed underneath it. What do you recommend I do next to resolve this issue?
Flash to stock and start again. You're al good... :thumbup:
Thank you, that resolved my boot error issue. I tried flashing recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-i9300.tar with ODIN, but whenever I try to reboot into recovery, it loads a message saying "rebooting into recovery" then my screen goes black. I have to reset the phone after that to get it to reboot. Any suggestions?
Wait... Edit... Why are you using a i9300 file... Isnt the att gs3 i747? Easiest way to install recovery if you can boot to homescreen - download goo manager from play store and hit menu and install recovery.
That would explain a lot... When I'm in Goo, I only have the options to install OpenRecoveryScript and reboot recovery. I installed the script then tried to reboot recovery but have the same issue with the blank screen.
Neverymind, it loaded up perfectly. Thank you for all your help!
So I have been running the AOKP nightlies in Goo and Ktoons kernel. This has been a very trouble free combo. However, out of nowhere I go to reboot in recovery and it takes a dump. Mind you its been running fine all weekend. It will get right to the Teamwin splash and start boot looping. All I did was reboot. Recovery is now broken, so I odin CWM on and that gets me back to a recovery, but when I try to flash TWRP again same issue. So I put CWM back on, factory reset, reflash, wipe everything, sticks on boot splash on every build. Finally, I gave up flashed back to stock, and re-rooted....lost all my stuff on the internal card but I was able to re-install TWRP and restore my backup.
This is so very random and frustrating...it just randomly for no reason stopped booting to recovery. Is this a common thread with TWRP? Maybe I should go back to CWM...anyone had this same experience?
I had that problem too. It lead to me getting bricked because I can't get Odin to work. Could you view over the post and confirm similar problems? I think some of my issue is with TWRP. I made dumb with my ROM, but the recovery shouldn't have messed up... Anyway here's the post. Let me know if you think the problems (with TWRP) are similar. If they are, there might be something wrong with TWRP

Alright, I'll give as much info as possible. If anyone can save me from having a $250 paperweight, I would... Well, probably whatever they asked me to. Here it is in a nutshell. I was on AOKP with TWRP recovery. I jump ROMS everyday it seems, so why would today be any different? I boot into TWRP, make a backup, wipe cache, factory reset (data and cache), delvik cache, and then system (here was my mistake). Then I was going to install another ROM when I was suddenly needed by family. In my infinite genius I decided "Oh I'll just shut down without a ROM installed, that'll go well!" and shut the phone down through TWRP options (/facepalm).
Finally, I come back to it and decide "Ok, I'd like to install a ROM now". I boot it up (holding up, home, power), but accidentally let go of home and power instead of just power so it tries to boot. No prob, I just do it again. Now I hold it this time and the trusty "teamwin" splash comes up. But something isn't right. It restarts instead of giving me options. "ok...." I think, and I try it again. Same thing. F**k, I have no recovery... So I go to my last resort. Odin mode. I get into Odin Mode, grab my USB cable and plug in (to my computer with drivers already on it from the toolkit) and! TADA! USB not recognized. That's right. USB. NOT. RECOGNIZED.
So lets recap:
No ROM
No recovery
Drivers from Toolkit installed
Odin Mode = USB not Recognized in Windows
Here is what I have tried (in no particular order)
New USB cable. 3 to be exact.
Different ports. All of them on all of the computers.
Different computers. 2 laptops, 1 desktop. All Win 7 64-bit.
Going into recovery (it bootloops)
Letting it boot. (Does nothing)
Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers
Installing Kies
Installing nothing
"adb devices" (doesn't show up)
Using toolkit (no devices seen)
Manually chosing every driver from "Samsung electronics LTD" that my computer has installed.
Plugging in before starting Odin
Plugging in after starting Odin.
Every combination of "Power cycle, Odin Mode, connect to computer" I can think of
Actually praying to Odin
Crying
Giving up
Gaining Second Wind
Searching Google, XDA and numerous forums extensively.
Making a new thread myself
I would really, REALLY appreciate it if someone, somewhere has ANY idea on how I can flash something ANYTHING to my phone again. Thank you SO much for your time. Honestly. I mean it, thank you. Let me buy you a beer. I'm serious.
Extra Information: The pop up is always the "USB not Recognized" balloon. Device manager comes up with an "Unknown Device" and yellow [!] triangle. Sometimes, under details, I'll see "Code 10: Device could not start". To reiterate, the phone WILL go into Odin Mode. Thanks again.

I've got a Galaxy Tab P5210 that's stuck in a constant boot loop. I flashed it with the correct stock firmware from SamMobile using Odin, but it fails to boot properly. It automatically boots to the stock recovery screen, but the problem is it will instantly reboot as soon as it reaches this screen. I see the dead android with the red triangle and exclamation point for just a second, and it instantly reboots. Is that normal? I don't think that's normal. From what I've been reading, this screen is supposed to stay there until you push the volume keys to bring up a menu, but it reboots so fast that I don't have a chance to even push anything.
I've tried flashing it with other recovery images. I tried using CWM, and it almost worked. With that, as soon as the tablet booted, I'd see the CWM splash screen, and it would instantly reboot. Similarly to how it's booting now but with stock recovery.
I'd like to point out that I've never messed with anything like this before. I work in a computer/small electronic repair shop and a customer brought it to me. She ended up getting into stock recovery and a friend of hers did some serious damage in there which prevented it from booting properly. Normally we don't mess with things like this but, with it being how it was, I figured there was no way I could make it even worse than it already is by working on it. I thought if I flashed the original stock firmware back to it, it would fix it, but that looks like a no-go since it's still booting the same way it was when she first brought it to me.
Is this thing completely broken or is there still hope for it?
No - it should be recoverable. However - any data will most likely be lost.
When you flash with Odin, make sure only F. Reset Time is checked. Use Odin 3.07. Make sure again that firmware is correct before you flash. After it flashes, power off and then on again
Latest KK firmware for the US version of the 5210 is P5210UEU0CNK1_P5210XAR0CNK1_HOME.TAR
Good luck. If you're trying to root, then there are threads in the 10.1 Dev section that should help
M,
this firmware was always my goto for device recovery/restoration https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490005046

Not interested in rooting, just wanna get the stock firmware back on. Maintaining data isn't a necessity, the customer just wants it back in working order. I tried using that firmware, but I had Auto-Reboot checked.
EDIT
Yeah, it's still doing the same thing. When I first boot it up post-firmware flash I see an Android with a loading bar underneath it, and then it reboots. When it boots again, I see the same Android and then it suddenly changes to the dead one with the red triangle. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong here with the button presses following the flash?
EDIT2
It looks to me like the stock recovery image is just broken, since the tablet just automatically reboots the instant it attempts to load it up. Flashing a new firmware replaces that though, so I don't know how or why it would even be corrupted. Odin reports no errors, so I don't know what's going on. And every guide I'm reading with fixing bootloops all say "go into stock recovery and clear the cache", but I can't even boot into stock recovery. It's like it's not even there. And I know it's not a power button issue causing it to shut down, I can power the device off fully with it, and it will stay off until I press it again. I'm banging my head against the desk here.
What if you flashed a TWRP recovery in Odin. Then if that's successful, boot into recovery and wipe/format everything except ext SD, Then try the ODIN flash again with filr your stock tar
I'm having the same problem and that didn't work for me. It shows the twrp splash screen and reboots. I'm looking for the .pit file it has to be the recovery partition right?

I'm trying to install TWRP on my Galaxy tab 3 10.1 (Model GT-P5210) using ODIN v3.13.1 which is currently running stock everything. Before trying to install I enabled USB debugging. I did not unlock the bootloader before attempting to install TWRP using ODIN. I do not know how to tell if I have an unlocked bootloader or how to unlock it.
I am installing the version listed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-twrp-3-x-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-t3340938
I am using the version labelled FLASH WITH ODIN: Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Wifi: GT-P5210
The file I downloaded is called "twrp-3.0.2-0-santos10wifi.tar.md5"
The first time I tried I left "Auto Reboot" option selected in ODIN. Odin said "PASS!" and booted into Android. When it finished loading I powered off the device and booted to recovery, but it booted to stock recovery, not TWRP.
I read that some people have this problem and that it is fixed by deselecting "Auto Reboot" in Odin. I did that, but after ODIN said "PASS!", I tried to restart the device but was unable to. I tried every possible button combination for 30+ seconds, including combinations that are supposed to simulate disconnecting the battery, but the device did not respond to anything at all. After growing desperate, I flashed TWRP in ODIN again, but selected "Auto Reboot" as this seems to be the only way to get the device to respond after flashing with ODIN. Booting into recovery after this led to stock recovery again. Again I tried flashing with "Auto Reboot" deselected. I again could not restart the phone. After trying to flash again using "Auto Reboot" the flash process got stuck. At this point I could not do anything to get the phone to restart. Eventually I figured out how to get the back cover off and I had to manually disconnect the battery. After reconnecting the battery the device booted into Android just fine and now I am letting it charge.
How can I get TWRP to flash correctly?
I got it to work by selecting the "Auto Reboot" option in Odin, but booting into recovery manually and quickly after the package was installed, but before it had time to boot into android.
I think were having the same issue...
IT WORKED TO ME, TOO! Thanks!
After install the TWRP file via Odin (I installed the file CF-Auto-Root-santos10wifi-santos10wifixx-gtp5210.zip in chainfire.eu domain), the Android restart and THIS is the moment to open the recovery mode: press the power and volume down, and when appear de logo in the screen, release the power button and maintain de volume down.

Magisk v20 worked stable on Galaxy A50 but If you want to use Magisk v19.3 you can patch and downgrade it using Magisk Manager - Custom Channel Update https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcF0pfdQyW8
-----------------------------------------------------------
Complete Guide for Rooting Samsung Galaxy A50 using Magisk v20 / v19.3 ( tested on SM-A505F ):
* Download the firmware Galaxy A50 (SM-A505F).
* Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5. Copy AP tar file and MagiskManager apk to your phone.
* Install Magisk Manager on your phone.
* In Magisk Manager: Install → Install → Select and Patch a File
* Select the AP tar file. Magisk Manager will patch the whole firmware file and store the output to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar. Copy magisk_patched.tar the tar file to your PC
* Enter Download Mode : Turn Power Off. Press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key,* When Samsung Logo appears release Power Key only, keep pressing Volume Up key until Android Recovery Mode Appears.
* Select Wipe data / Factory reset, Select Reboot to bootloader.* Connect your Samsung Galaxy to PC using USB Cable.
*Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do. Checked "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" only in options.
* Magisk is now successfully flashed to your device and Rebooting!
* After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. It need more time and patient.
* Connect the phone to Internet copy Magisk Manager apk to your phone and Install it
* Open Magisk Manager. It will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device.
* Done! You can use Root Checker to check it, Enjoy!

Oh I wish I could get magisk on my phone. Unfortunatly I can't find the firmware, for my phone, anywhere on the internet (A505W). Will do directly once I can!
I had it finally rooted like this since yesterday thanks to this process. Got it in root mode running today all day. THE PROBLEM IS: It doesnt stay on anymore after i reboot once again. It starts, I can put in the pincode of sim, but after 10 seconds it reboots. Without sim also reboots after 10 secs. This goes on and on and on. I read on web delete cache can help. I can sometimes boot normally once thanks to that. Root mode is hopeless, then it always reboots. I used the right stock rom. Didnt make changes of system apps etc. I havent tried factory reset yet, but i'm tired of reinstalling all apps and settings again and i asume it just will happen again. Who knows what is causing this?
Edit: It kept rebooting in any way. Used the factory reset at the end. Booted it up once without root. Set up Wifi and google account. Tried to reboot in root mode and voila: stuck in bootscreen with red letterd 'custom binnary not allowed'. Can't startup, can't go to recovery, can't flash the magisk patched zip (same red letters). Flashed stock rom and wait for the possibility to flash magisk patched again.
Edit 2: Booting in the stock rom probably registers something to let u flash something else again. Magisk patched flashed again. Booted normally, magisk up to date and working. Just gonna install fake gps, smali and magisk hide app again. Not in the mood to test reboot then again. It probably fails again. But i can spoof again for now.
Edit 3: After trying some more things, I think the conclusion is: U can only use Root mode once with this, until it reboots.
I wonder if I'm the only one with this.

I have tried everything but failed, I have tested on some device but it's only happen to A50
will this work with a505gn?

That's seem pretty unstable as it is right now. Was tempting to try this on my A505W, but I'm reluctant now.
Now I'm just wondering why the heck my root is still active with 2 random reboots. Last 20 runs the random reboots made it lose root and got stuck with constant rebooting.
When i started the recovery of samsung backup, it rebooted again (3rd time) (again root is somehow still active). Screw it, gonna forget about the backup and keep it like this. I think the random rebooting seems to happen often when installing much apps.

Read my First post, I have updated it for fixing lost magisk root after reboot
I cannot pass through the flashing of image modified by Magisk. During the flash some red text appears on top saying that custom binary (VBMETA) blocked ... then there is a front camera, so I can not read it all and then "Lock" word. The flashing stops and odin waits forever. The only thing I can do is to interrupt and then reflash the whole firmware with odin since it ends up at the "error has occured while updating the device software".
My device is SM-A505FN, firmware XEZ-A505FNXXU1ASE3, OEM unlocked, tried Magisk Manager 7.3.2.

So what would happen if, by a mistake of mine, my battery dies. Do I have to reflash magisk again and factory wipe everytime? Or is the problem occur only with the "reboot" function of android since it work while fully powering it off.

Mine is still rooted since friday. It sometimes reboots randomly. Then i have to reset with volume down and power button or else is keeps restarting. Root is still active then. Battery also died yesterday. Could start up with power key only and root is still active. I still don't understand why but im good.
(I used the root mode function with volume up and power key till logo popsup only once after the flashing of magisk patcher to let it install magisk manager. )
I'm still wondering if I'm the only one with random reboots or constant reboots
Worked great for my SM-A505G.
In summary, after installing Magisk:
(Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
(Volume UP + Power) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
(Volume UP + Power) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)
Hi there,
Yesterday I rooted my A505W (Canadian Variant) and got random reboots like almost every one else. It got so bad, I decided to go back to un rooted stock. Before flashing stock firmware I took a look in build.prop file, hoping I might find something that does not belong there after rooting. And I think I found it. At the very end there is line like this:
ro.expect.recovery_id=0xf1dee4214a6ffec6b8
2cec9a13222d4f34c7fd10000000000000000
000000000
Comment it out to lool like this:
#ro.expect.recovery_id=0xf1dee4214a6ffec6b8
#2cec9a13222d4f34c7fd10000000000000000
#000000000
Wanted to delete it, but it was enough to comment it out whit #
Since last night I don’t have any reboots, it looks like commenting it out did the trick. So try it for yourself an see if it helps.
One more thing, if you need to reboot your device do not do it from Magisk, because it will keep rebooting, just power down and boot with the key combination. As I said since last night I have no random reboots.
