I installed TWRP recovery but when I factory reset / wipe data, dalvik, data, system it doesn't format the system
You can try another recovery through odin, if it fails flash stock rom through odin. Make sure you flash one which is as least as new bootloader. Then start from square one.
Witch version of TWRP do you use ?
To do full wipe I use Zoot Wipe script, but be careful it remove everything :

My tablet is currently rooted and I'm downloading a new FW from SamMobile.
After I install the update via Odin, will I need to re-root and also add TWRP back onto the device or are those kept in place ?
Thank you.
Yes you will need to reroot and reinstall twrp. Odin flashes system, modem, bootloader, and recovery. All my data stayed, but I like a clean flash so I did a factory reset as well.

Hello everyone,
I previously had stock OH6 with root and TWRP. I decided to install Atrium v1.0 http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/development/please-post-till-t3171637 and the install requirements are that both Baseband and Bootloader need to be updated to OF8 to match the FW of the rom. I was able to install the rom without a problem. Now this is were I screwed up. I decided to do a fresh install again and in TWRP I wiped Dalvik Cache, system, data, cache and internal storage and also performed a factory reset. At the moment my phone is stuck at the boot screen "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" and I can't go into TWRP. I can only access Download mode. My question is can I Odin back to OH6 without bricking my phone or am I stuck with doing Odin to OF8 because of the previous baseband and bootloader upgrade?
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate it.
You can Odin oh6. Once on a higher version you can't Odin back to an older version as downgrade isn't allowed of the bootloader.
Thank you very much.
Sprint Note 4, when flashing the official Rom i clicked on Nand Erase All, flash went fine, but the phone stays forever on the Sprint Spark screen, any steps to fix this issue? I can get into recovery and download mode, tried to wipe cache and dalvik in TWRP but i get errors, can not mount.
thanks in advance for the help.

You flashed TWRP after it failed to boot? If so, I wish you didn't do either the nand erase or flash TWRP.
If TWRP fails to mount to wipe, you need factory recovery or Philz CWM to wipe cache and factory reset.
To be clear, you need to wipe cache, dalvik-cache and data and power down. Boot into download mode and flash stock tar with Odin defaults. I'm not sure if the Note 4 just requires a wipe and Odin stock tar or the PIT with repartition (PIT for Sprint Note 4 seems to be MIA). Hopefully just the wipe works.
Here's Philz CWM recovery for Note 4:

If that doesn't work, you need stock recovery. Last time I flashed stock recovery, it required a tar.md5 to flash. Had to search for a Windows tool to modify it, adding the md5 hash to tar so Odin would see and use it.
And one more thing. If you succeed in wiping, try to boot before Odin of stock tar. Seems Odin is risky these days. I've read recently that there's yet another "fix" Samsung has identified for Odin flashing for upcoming security patch. Best to limit Odin flashes to as needed only.

thanks for you explanation, i will try it. Let me tell you, remember i already flashed the stock tar multiple times, i might be mistaken but i thought the stock tar has the oem recovery included, the problem is i can not get into stock recovery, it just bootloops and the phone restarts again, i will try flashing the stock tar again and then Philz touch recovery and see if i can wipe. Will let you know how it goes in a few minutes.
thanks again.
just to let you know, the phone booted, had to flash the clean stock image, then extract the recovery image from the tar file, after that i used a utility to convert recovery.img to a tar file in order to flash it in odin, after a while it booted, right now updating over the air to cok1, lets hope it works now.
appreciate the time you took to help me out.
I'm not clear on what you're saying. I gather that flashing the tar didn't allow you to get to stock recovery and it still wouldn't boot?
Then you tried Philz CWM recovery to wipe and it booted? If so, I'd think you were in the clear at this point, not needing to restore stock recovery but flash the tar?
When you say you had to extract stock recovery, was it still not allowing you to get to stock recovery when tar was flashed or did that fail? If so, which tar? I'd think you could have moved on to OK1 tar?
Or were you thinking that I meant you had to use both recoveries to wipe to restore function?
It's good you're making progress on your own, I'm just not following the results and reasoning fully. I'd like to know so I'm asking. TIA.
Edit: Or did you have to flash stock recovery to wipe? Philz CWM recovery didn't flash or wouldn't mount or what? Read your reply again and thought this may be the direction you went.

sorry for the confusion, i flashed the stock tar file COJ6, still the phone would not boot and could not get into stock recovery, do not know why
then i flashed just Philz recovery and was able to wipe cache,dalvik and data
For some reason it did not boot, then after i flashed just the stock recovery ( in order to do that, i extracted the recovery from the COJ6 tar, then used a program to convert the recovery.img to .tar in order to be able to flash it in Odin, after that the phone booted and updated over the air to COK1) Just to make sure i tried to go into stock recovery ( VOL UP+HOME+POWER) and was successful, got access to stock recovery. Before i was not able to go into stock recovery for some reason.
So you didn't try to flash stock tar after the Philz recovery wipe? I was suggesting try to boot; if it didn't boot, try the stock tar.
Am I wrong to say that maybe you didn't have to flash the stock recovery? Philz recovery maybe gets the credit as the easier fix in this case. Would you agree with that or is that unknown?
Thanks for clarifying. Your response may clarify the suggested fix. TIA.

Well, after i wiped with Philz it still did not boot, then after the stock recovery it booted, it took a while, i thought it did not work but eventually it did boot, the phone definitely had something wrong since i could not even access the stock recovery before, now i can, it says installing system update, then its says something like no command, and then it enters recovery, this was impossible to achieve before.
Did the OK1 OTA complete and boot yet?

It did complete and booted just fine, everything seems to be in order, crossing fingers LOL
Hi all
Been having some issues with a Tab3 that was stuck in bootloop - it would turn on for anywhere upto 10-20 seconds then reboot, and repeat... I tried going into setting and selecting factory reset and it wouldn't allow it.
I then used Odin to flash TWRP recovery then flashed a custom ROM (can't remember which but it was completely de-bloated and had bare necessities). The bootloop continues and still not fixed.
When I boot into recovery I can select all options, re-partition, format, wipe cache/dalvik, etc... But even though I've wiped everything in recovery when I reboot the Tab everything is exactly as it was, as though I hadn't wiped it.
I've tried flashing a new recovery and stock ROM with no success... So, I'm wondering if anyone has ever had this problem and how would you recommend I go about fixing it?
Cheers
I've tried using Odin using re-partition, nand erase all, phone efs clear, PIT file, stock ROM, recovery, etc...
It's not hard-bricked as it's booting up, but for some reason it doesn't wipe or flash to stock and I can't find the solution!!
Any help is appreciated
