[Q] SGH-I317 - Cannot Get To Recovery Mode

I cannot get my Note 2 into recovery mode. I am able to get to download mode and have tried installing a few different ROMS through Odin. The install results in a "Pass" but the phone does not make it past the Samsung boot screen. I have tried a few of the suggestions on different postings in the forums but haven't had success. I am somewhat new to the rooting community and am in need of assistance with this, I am getting nowhere on my own. Thanks in advance for any assistance you all can offer.

You didn't mention if you ever flashed a custom recovery.

Sorry for the lack of details. I am sure I made a rookie mistake but heres the process that got me to where I am now:
I was rooted on 4.3 (used CF Autoroot). I was attempting to upgrade to 4.4.2 using EZKat's zip file, installing it from an external sd card throuh recovery mode. I did get that to take, but was having issues with the Samsung keyboard crashing (I now know there is a second file that fixes this, but got that info too late). So thinking I had made a mistake at that point I attempted to revert to the stock 4.1.2 rom, which also took. However, I then got a notification for an OTA update, and I went for it (probably a bad choice?).
The OTA update completed but on the reboot it started hanging at the Samsung logo. And that is where I am stuck now. I can get to download mode and Odin still lets me flash roms and gives me a "Pass" but the phone never gets past the boot screen freeze and I cannot enter recovery mode to factory reset or clear cache.
Thanks for your replies, I appreciate any assistance you have to offer.

The first file is a 4.3 rom you can flash but the 2nd file is the bootloader and when I did the ota from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 you have to flash that mk6 bootloader to make it boot

Just use cf auto root and make sure you get the right recovery and put it in the pda or ap slot in odin or you can flash a stock custom rom that's rooted already like the one I'm on

Note 2 I sent out of state is also stuck. I had downgraded to 4.1.1 to root it and left it there. It did work for a little bit, but not now. Will just flashing the bootloader file do the trick or do we have to flash the ROM too?

If it won't boot on 4.1.1 you might have to go up to 4.3 or 4.4.2 to make the phone work again I tried to go back to 4.1.1 and I couldn't get it to boot but I didn't try flashing the bootloader but it won't hurt anything if it don't work

You need to be more specific as to what happens. Does it start the root process but fail to mount the partitions or does it not start at all, do you see the red android?
Can't help you without specific info.
I don't have your device, so it's difficult to build for it.
EDIT: made a new build. smt550_cf-autoroot.tar
Please take close note of the process and report what works and what doesn't.
EDIT: DEDICATED FORUM FOR TAB A. ALL WORKING BUILDS OF CF AUTO-ROOT AND TWRP CAN BE FOUND HERE

No worries I realised that would happen, the cache.img is the wrong format for your device, that's why I posted the new build.
Thanks.

Can you post a screen shot there. I need to see what it says on the screen.
Also you don't need to reinstall any firmware just reboot by pressing and hold POWER + VOL DOWN.
It should restart as normal. If not I will upload the stock recovery. Just flash that.
EDIT: Here you go flash this is your stock recovery, boot into download mode then flash with ODIN, then boot into recovery with POWER + VOL UP + HOME then wipe CACHE. It should then boot normally. Stock Recovery

dont work ashyx with power +vol down,
thanks for recovery stock im going

I have uploaded another build, hopefully this one will work.
The problem is getting the system and cache partition to mount. Mounting is being prevented by Selinux policies. I need to give permission for recovery to mount these partitions, so you will have to bear with me.
If you end up in a bootloop or hang on the Samsung logo then just reboot back into download mode and flash the stock recovery I posted then boot into recovery mode and wipe cache.

Recovering my Galaxy Tab S

Hello developers and users,
I wanted to unroot my tablet but I accidentally deleted the OS but am still in the TWRP recovery mode. I wanted to try using a different root on the tablet but didn't know how. Is there a way that I can still flash the stock ROM into this device despite me deleting the OS?
I have a T-800.

Just flash the backup you made with twrp or boot to Download mode from twrp then flash the stock firmware.

Did you try to wipe in twrp and flash stock with Odin?

Help With Root and Going Back To Stock Firmware Problems N910p

Hey guys im kinda new here and english isnt my native language so mind the punctuation and bad english
so here goes
I have a Note 4 910p which was working fine until i decided to root it with the cf-root method for note 4 available on XDA . everything went fine but i needed root to install few ported stuff from other brands. I wanted to install a ported SONY XPERIA CAMERA , for that i needed a recovery i installed a CWM recovery , i installed the camera and after flashing it and finishing of the work , in the end it asked me if i wanted to root. i didnt know what to do i click okay. so it rooted after that my cell booted and the touch calibration was off . i fixed that by *#2663# code .
the main problem im facing is that after the whole process i cannot install any apks, like i can click the install button but as soon as it starts installing i get an error "App not installed . Package may be corrupted" i thought it was with just one apk file. i tried multiple apks on my cell and other cells. its working on other cells but not on mine. secondly i cannot seem to activate the Private Mode no matter how much i try. i have tried factory resetting it from the OS. ive tried factory reseting it from the CWM recovery. everytime i factory reset the calibration goes whack.
I downloaded 2 different STOCK FIRMWARD Tar files but every time i try installing them , its starts installing and ends with
AUTH Fail in Odin
Please help me.
PS : The Camera Apps From XPERIA package stay no matter how many times i factory reset please help

if it helps i cant post images but i can give u the spec and other details of my cell if it can help u people in understanding my problem

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------
You can find a zip for twrp so you don't have to use odin
---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------
If you just want 100%stock you will need odin so keep trying deferent version of odin, reboot pc and start fresh also boot into download after you pull the battery
Because if you want to use Kies you will need stock recovery even for ota's you need stock recovery so best bet is to get odin to work properly

thank u guys for ur quick response. i couldnt find the proper solution for the APK and Private Mode problem but i did manage to find the solution for going back to stock
What i was doing wrong was that i had the OTA update upto 6.01 and i was trying to flash a 5.0 firmware tar . i was researching where i came across that after the 5.01 update u cant downgrade to older one thats y i was facing the
AUTH Fail
Error while using ODIN thank u all for ur help and suggestions

You need to download the most recent twrp 3.0.3.0 and flash that as your recovery

Also, you can download the .exe file to go back to stock but your boot loader will still be unlocked

The latest TWRP is 3.0.3-9. It's available in Captain Throwback's TWRP thread.

Yes sorry

Oh, I tried flashing an image from the official site and it said that I need to be S-OFF.I will try this one now.
