Hi all, I am new to the forum so bear with me!
I recently rooted my Tab Pro 10.1 as it was becoming unusably slow, and I wanted to lighten it a little. Root was successful, and I downloaded lineage OS from the dev forum to flash onto my device using TWRP manager. However, after trying this my device now boots to the Samsung model number page (first screen), then goes blank. If I hold down the power button it powers off, but restarts and does the exact same thing. I hope I haven't done irreparable damage, seeing as it can still seemingly start and I can also boot into download mode (not bricked).
My question basically is, is there a way to "undo" my failed flash attempt and return my device to a "normal" rooted device using odin, seeing I can access download mode?
Many thanks in advance!
Craig

Thanks for your response.
The problem is I can't boot the device past the model startup screen to begin using TWRP and flashing, as the screen black and unresponsive (I can get into download mode). Do you suspect if I flash the stock ROM using Odin I will get back to where I started?
If you wanna go for lineage os, go to download mode and flash twrp 3.0.0.0 with odin, reboot to recovery and wipe system, cache,dalvik. Now flash ROM and gapps.
Back to stock? Just flash stock ROM via odin after first boot go to recovery and do a factory reset

hello
press vol+ pwr home buttons together u are in dowload mode
use autoroot with odin (all necessary files are there)
3.xxxx does't work correctly with t520
regards
Thanks all for your help - I have eventually got sorted in the end.
I was able to flash TWRP 3.0.0.0 onto my device with Odin, then booted into recovery mode (PWR + Vol up), wipe everything (except internal memory) and flash the most up to date lineage file I had downloaded prior to the process. Device working well now, just downloaded and flashed the relevant GAPPs and all in working order.

So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Hello, my friend has a Ace 2 (GT-I8160) and he wanted me to try and install CM 11 on his phone. I managed to root it and install temporary CWM on it, however his version of CWM could not flash CM 11 ROM's because it was outdated. I Googled around and found a TWRP .img file that I decided to flash via ODIN (CWM couldn't flash any TWRP .zip files for some reason). Everything went perfectly fine with ODIN, however my friends phone could not go pass the Samsung logo, it would appear for a few seconds and then the screen would go black. He also couldn't go into recovery but he could go into Download mode. Thinking that it was a recovery problem, I managed to get a .img file of TWRP 2.8.6.0 by Chronomonochrome and flash that via ODIN. Still the same problem - phone won't go pass the logo, however it can go into recovery.
So, now the phone boots perfectly to Download mode and recovery - and it can do everything from the recovery, like making backups, wiping, etc, but it cannot boot to the OS itself. I still haven't flashed a custom ROM on his phone because he didn't have the ROM file on his phone at the time nor could be transfer it to his phone via his PC because of some driver issue.
I'm currently downloading I8160XXBN1 firmware from Samsung Updates to flash via ODIN and try to get his phone back into working state. However, I also planned on placing my SD Card (which has the CM rom and Gapps on it) into his phone and flashing a new, custom ROM instead of flashing the firmware.
Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? Should I flash official firmware via ODIN or just flash the ROM using the recovery?
Thanks in advance.
My phone stuck at mi logo even the recovery can't be opened
I was using cynogen 12.1 and then i download its update after that it sticks at mi logo
Unable to open recovery
Thanks in advance help as soon as possible
Don't worry, if you can enter fastboot, you can fix it. Follow this guide http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23234&page=1#pid459792 If you do everything right, stock miui5 or miui6 will be installed, depends what you choose. I recommend you to download v45 miui5, I have used that version few times. You will have to install custom recovery and root again if you want a custom rom later. If the Miflash program does not recognize your phone in fastboot mode, then download and install these drivers, I think it should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-1s/general/tool-adb-drivers-redmi-1s-t2904411
You need not go back to stock miui. If you update the rom, the recovery should still be intake, unless you did something to it, which is quite unlikely unless you selected to flash it as well.
Make sure your phone is completely off. Remove battery and insert back. Pressing the vol - and power button should boot your phone into the recovery(if i rmb correctly). From there, reflash the first cm12.1, not the update which you download, and it should boot fine again. Preferably, go for a clean install, unless you have data which u haven't backup, then go for the first.
If you flash a recovery and if indeed your recovery is corrupted, just reflash using adb.
Flashing a rom should not cause any damage to your recovery as it doesn't touch your recovery files.
I was trying to root my device and was following a guide which instructed to flash TWRP, then rooting kernel and finally a ROM of my choice. After using Odin to flash TWRP the phone booted to the TWRP menu on which I chose to reboot the system and the phone got stuck on the black welcome to galaxy screen and it just kept on flashing that screen. I was able to boot to the load screen by holding power, home, volume up key and using Odin to flash the original image file.
Question is am I following the correct order to root this thing and if I am what could have gone wrong?

After the phone rebooted to the TWRP recovery you should have flashed the rooting kernel before rebooting
the phone in twrp. You need to go back into twrp recovery (you will need to odin flash twrp again).
Here is the xda link for Jovy23's stock rooted G928T kernel: (flash this in twrp recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ernel-stock-modified-kernel-touchwiz-t3229557
If you flash the wrong kernel the phone will be in a constant bootloop and or it will get stuck on the logo screen.
Good luck,
Have a Happy New Years.
Hi all, looking for some help here.
I picked up a pair of P607's to install Lineage on.
1. I flashed (via ODIN) the latest Samsung factory build from Sam Mobile (Now running 5.1.1).
2. Grabbed the latest TWRP tar file (twrp-3.1.1-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar)
3. Flashed TWRP via ODIN (AP button, selected the twrp tar, unchecked auto-reboot)
4. Held power button and turned off.
5. Powered back on and Held the [home - vol up - pwr] to boot into recovery to check TWRP.... and..... Recovery Boot Loop.
Odly enough, if I get it back into download mode and just boot it normally, it will boot fine back into the OS (stock rom, not lineage yet)
I can recover back to the factory by re-flashing the stock rom again, so it's recoverable.
I've tried with two different 3.1 TWRP versions now, twrp-3.1.0-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar and twrp-3.1.1-0-lt03ltexx.img.tar, both do the same thing.
Any ideas on this one?
There's definitely some odd issues with TWRP for this device...
3.1.1 Failed
3.1.0 Failed
3.0.2 Worked and boots into TWRP
Would be nice to get the latest TWRP working for this device, anyone interested in logs from the 3.1.0 or 3.1.1 attempts?
how did you get out of the boot loop? i cant seem to get back in to download mode

Today I got the same bootloop problem.
Impossible to enter the Download-Mode.
I removed carefully the Backcover and disconnect the battery plug for some seconds.
On the next start I´m holding down Vol- and entered Download Mode.
With Odin I flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 (same version like before) and its working again without loosing the installed programs.
I think you can also wait until the battery is empty .....
Hope it helps a bit to recover a great tablet.

Most ROMs here install fine with 3.0.2. That's what I am using on my 607T.
