Hi all
I own this magical and wonderful device, Italian version *lol*
after a wipe mistake I am found at this situation:
1. Device can't boot normally. TWRP says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
2. TWRP works properly. I have flashed the recovery as suggested in this thread but I would need a factory stock image.
3. Odin don't see my device for some reason so I can't use it
My idea is that somehow I managed to wipe the OS and now I am faced with three mithycal questions questions:
1. How to solve this issue? I searched the forum for my model stock factory image but no luck.
2. Can I install a random ROM from inside TWRP somehow via the install menu? I did that with the recovery image but it still says there is no OS
3. Last but not least: will I be able unroot it and then with the Triangle system get it back to shape and send it to samsung? I had a little bit of a problem - that is the reason i tried the wipe in the frist place - with the 3g connection not working anymore.
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi,
I was running LineageOS on my Galaxy Tab S tablet (SM-T800). I tried to update LineageOS. I went into the settings and downloaded the lastest version. However, the installation didn't go through. The download was successful, but an error message told me to try and manually install the update. I tried to go into TWRP mode to install manually the update. Instead of going in the recovery mode, I saw a TWRP app on the Google Play store. I tried and install that app. It went ok, however, I needed to reboot my tablet to finish. I did so, but after that, I got stuck in booting mode, between the TWRP logo and the Samsung logo. So the tablet was trying to boot in TWRP mode, but after about 5 seconds on the splash screen of TWRP, the spalsh screen disapear and then the tablet tries to boot in normal mode. It doesn't work, and the tablet reboots in TWRP mode, but, again, unsuccessful. It's a loop, alterning between the two splash screens.
I tryed to go into download mode and flashed the stock ROM (found on Updato) while using Odin on my computer. It worked. However, after the process, my tablet got stucked on the Samsung logo only. Now, it doesn't go in recovery mode (TWRP). I can only go in download mode or regular mode (but not working). Only the download mode works.
I don't really know waht to do. I tryed to redo the process with Odin and the custon ROM, but it didn't work better.
What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help!

Have you tried to reflash twrp via odin ? If that works go into twrp reformat your partitions, then flash a custom rom.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin on my computer. The process went well, but the reboot of my tablet that occurs at the end of the process got stuck again on the Samsung logo. It didn't get to TWRP mode. I tried to go manually into recovery mode by holding power+vol up+home, but it didn't work.
What else can I try? Thank you,

Are you trying to get to twrp from powered off state ? If not , get to power off state, then use key combo again to try to get into twrp.
Also when you flash twrp, in odi , there is a setting to prevent auto reboot, use that and try to get to twrp via key combo from download. Mode., finally tripple chech the key combo you are using is correct
Hi,
Thanks for the help. I tried to get to TWRP from power off state. The TWRP splash screen appears, and stays on for about 5-10 sec. After that, the splash screen disappear and the tablet reboot to get stuck on the Samsung logo again. It's like if the TWRP booting process doesn't go through...
Thanks again for your help,
Ouch !!
Looks like you got a real problem , and getting into territory I'm not expert in, Ashyx is the real authority with twrp for this device, you can try to pm him and hope he takes pity on you ( he has been helping guys on this qa thread tirelessly for over a year, and is prob taking a well deserved break ).
Otherwise a few more suggestions,
Maybe your PIT is messed up , ( but you prob would not make it to twrp splash screen in that case )
Twrp may still be trying to execute the script from the original linage update and not finding something bails ( total guess ).
Try flashing a stock ( downloaded from sammobile or somwhere you trust ) rom via odin, and see if you can get into the stock recovery. From there do a factory reset and see if you can get stock running.
Try getting into twrp with device connected to pc ( helped in some wierd cases, you never know lol ).
When TWRP splash screen comes up, try some key combos , maybe twrp checks for a script abbort key combo ?
Checkout the TWRP github issues page, see if your bug is there and a solution, create a bug report or mail a dev directly.
Have a look at the TWRP code, maybe some clues ??
Hi,
So not much development here...
I tried to download the stock ROM for my device from Sammobile and tried flashing it with Odin (JOdin actually, I'm on Mac), but it says it need a PIT file. I let Casual fin the PIT file and it finds it. Only, after that my device does not reconnect to Odin even though it's still plugged in my computer. I tried to unplug it then plug it back, but then Odin says the PIT file is corrupted. I tried to restart my device, but still not connecting to Odin...
I tried getting into TWRP with my device connected to my computer. Still the same problem of rebooting while TWRP is booting (while it's on splash page).
No combo key seems to work to keep TWRP open and loading...
Didn't find anything on TWRP github and I'm not saavy enough to look into TWRP code.
So, I'm still stuck with my initial problem. Do any of ou have some advices/suggestions or can help me with my problem please? At this point, I've been without my tablet for more than a month and it S**KS!!
Thanks in advance everyone,

Use ODIN via Windows or a VM on your Mac.
Flash stock firmware then boot to recovery and factory reset.
Reboot and wait ten minutes.
Hi, thanks a lot for your time.
I will try that at work tomorrow as I don't have Windows at home. However, I did try to flash stock ROM with Windows initially (see first post for more info) and it didn't solve my problem. I wasn't able to access recovery mode after the stock ROM was flashed. Hope it's gonna work now and I'll be able to factory reset.
I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks,

I have the following problem:
A couple of months ago I installed the unofficial Version of lineage os 15.1 on my Galaxy Note s 10.1 LTE because I really wanted to have Android 8. But the S-pen applications werent working properly, so i decided to downgrade to lineage os 14.1. I downloaded the TWRP App, then the wrp.img.tar for my device and tried to flash it via the app, but the file was not flashable, because obviously it was a .tar. I wasnt really thinking about what I was doing so i Just renamed the file to twrp.img so the app would recognice it, which worked out. After I flashed fhe file, I tried to boot into Recovery. But instead of doing so, it booted to Download mode. So I decided to boot into Recovery via quick reboot, which didnt work either and it booted to dowbload mode again. I shut off the device and tried a normal boot, but nothing happend. The screen just stays black. I Hope anyone can help me with that, I really need my tablet.
I installed twrp for the first time and accidentally deleted my OS, I managed to install it again and my phone is working now, but there is still a problem, when I try to boot my phone or restart it normally, it boots twrp instead of the OS, i can still boot the OS but i need to do it via fastboot and select start, otherwise it always boots to twrp (or stock recovey mode if twrp is uninstalled) , is there any way to solve that?
Sorry for any mistakes, im new to this

Hi,
I need help with my one m9, recently i paid someone too root and install custom rom to my phone and phone was installed with lineageos everything was great about 2 weeks. Than without reason first bluetooth started stop working, than wifi did the same thing. Than ı made a something very very stupid and wiped the system. After hard struggling, i was able to reinstall lineage os 16(by tempering with updater-script file via notepad++), but wifi and bluetooth are still not working. I can enter dowload mode, bootloader mode and trwp but i can not install another rom or update twrp. when I tried to install Lineage os 17 i get error "error creating fstab" when ı try to update twrp i get "failed to boot to recovery mode" error ( i tried installing image via twrp and tried flashing via bootloader). I need any solution to make bluetooth and wifi work again. thanks for any help
any one?
