First of all you can shutdown the device from TWRP if you want.
Second what Android version is that firmware?
v5.0.2 or v5.1.1?
Third did the firmware file pass the MD5 check?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1
<OSM> G925FXXU2BOFJ_G925FOXA2BOFJ_G925FXXU2BOFJ_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
its android 5.1.1
i cannot enter recovery either stock one or custom one . when i flesh via odin , everything goes fine .. no error no interruptions...
hmm... when it finishes in odin phone automatically must goes in recovery to clear cache and factory reset but mine s6e wont do this... i think this is the problem . i need to have recovery to fix my phone

Did you try from setting a factory reset ? You know that option...
Did you read my previous posts ??
Im stuck in boot loop
go into download mode..flash the right firmware for your phone..if there are problems..than it's not the right firmware..you can clear the phone also with Odin..no need of recovery...you just must activate it in the settings..if you got problems.. just write it exactly or no one can help you..maybe screenshot..
I believe if you put it in Download mode (hold vol. down + home + power) and flash a ROM through Odin it should boot. you may need a PIT file.

Hey Alex
Can you please give me an advice? I am currently on official firmware G925FXXU2POGN 5.1.1. Can I flash without any issues the G925FXXU2BOFJ (5.1.1 Uk BTU version) with odin?

Try factory reset to restore the original state of this official Rom. then try with odin again.
If you read cf root thread properly you well see that if it fails you need to boot into recovery too trigger the installation

USB Recovery jig ONLY boots to download mode it does nothing else on SGS3.
Start at the beginning .
Does Odin see your phone .Does Windows see your phone .

What should i do now ?!
Im sorry to say this but i think you have got the SDS/eMMC failure and the internal memory is dead. Many users reported freezing and stuttering before their s3 died completely... Take it to service center and they should repair it for warranty. Just want to tell you that its not your fault, its samsung's bug.

Can you enter CWM recovery mode or did the bootloop happen because you flashed CWM with Odin?
it already bootloop, my friend said he just gaming and suddenly phone crash , off , and bootloop

i try to enter recovery mode , but it just keep comin back at "samsung galaxy s III , gt - i9300 "
i try to enter download mode , i can .. but when i use odin , it always fail to flash CWM.tar

Hey guys.
Suddenly yesterday, I checked my s3 (which was turned on and working few minutes before) and it was stuck on the logo screen. I removed the battery and I tried to reboot it, but now it's always stuck on that s3 logo. If I plug it via usb it stucks on a gray battery with the circle thing not spinning. I noticed that in the last week also my phone was getting slower and freezing from time to time.
I can't get into the recovery mode, if I press power + home + volume it keeps showing the samsung logo, without getting me there.
I can get in the download mode. it says:
Odin mode (in red)
Product Name:
Custom binary download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
If i try to fix the problem through odin as soon as I try something it fails giving me the error: <ID:0/003> There is no PIT partition.
Is there any way to fix this problem? Is it SDS?
thanks for your time
SDS
so there is no way to fix it, except that sending it to the Samsung support ?

May I ask what process and what file you are using to try to fix your problem using Odin? You may need to download official firmware for your phone and then flash this using the pda option. Keep in mind that the only other options that should be ticked are auto reboot and f reset time.
this problem is not fixable through odin
please help
Hi, just getting a very similar problem, except that I can access the recovery mode (CMW v6.0.4.4). I've been using temasek ROM so far without issue. What should I try? many thanks.
You can try to wipe data/factory reset and if the phone doesnt boot you can try to flash a oficial rom by Odin.
Hi, thanks. When I do the wipe data/factory reset, it seems to start doing it, I'm getting "wipe data" in CMW, then the samsung logo appears and it stays stuck.
have you tried flashing stock rom?
Try to flash a stock rom. Recovery will be replaced by stock and maybe we will have some extra info. It it a 9300 or a 9305?

You dont need to root in order to install a custom recovery.

well then after searching it turned out i need to flash it with omap well i did it but now i get "logo.jpg' draw failed
when i try to enter the download mode i get 'ani_upload_unknown_4_reset.jpg' draw error well i flashed the original sbl.bin params.lfs mho which i extracted from the stock firmware the same problem my theory its that it cant draw the images from the sbl.bin for some error and i cant use a jig to enter force dowload mode still i have to wait or my jig to arrive
so any ideas .. is it possible to edit the images on the sbl.bin or try to pass it so it wont load the images? any tips help please

so you have now managed to get to odin and flashed the recovery.
if so if you install the rom and like that don't forget to wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache
efs has to do with baseband imei and like that and blackclouds if you manage to get into odin then i would say to flash the original stock firmware if the device is charged 100% and then later to flash philz kernel to root and then to install custom rom and remove yellow triangle with chainfire's app.

So basically, im a noob. i tried flashing stock lollipop on my galaxy s4 from CyanogenMod with odin, but it says not responding everytime pda is clicked. Now, when i try to boot up the phone with recovery mode (vol up home button and lock) it says "Recovery Booting" in the corner and vibrates twice. Then it tries to boot normally but of course fails with the cyanogenmod splash screen eternally spinning. PLZ HELP i have no other phone
Try a different PC and/or version of Odin. Sometimes Odin does that for a couple minutes and then will finish checking the md5 and work fine afterwards. Can be finicky on some computers.

your device is on a bootloop. you can overcome it by flashing last working official firmware of your device.
& for the lollipop update,
Check whether the update of lollipop is in .tar,md5 format then only you can flash it via odin through PDA option. You can even try Odin_v3.09 & select the AP option or simply follow any guide how to use Odin_v3.09
If the update is in .zip format then install a custom recovery to your device and flash it.
Lastly you can restore your phone by flashing official firmware that previously worked on your phone and then try flashing lollipop update with a fresh start.
Let me know for any other assistance
