Hello, I have a stock i9300 of a friend of mine that I need to customize. I downloaded the latest TWRP and the latest ODIN. I flash TWRP and Odin says it's all ok, but then when I boot the i9300 in recovery mode, TWRP it's not there and I still get the stock recovery. What am I missing? Any help? Thanks!
You might have downloaded the stock recovery instead.?? Where did you download twrp from??

From the official TWRP site... it's twrp-3.1.1-0-i9300.img.tar
I tried two more times to flash it...every time it says PASS and it's all ok... but the stock recovery it's still there
Try chainfires method of rooting s3. You can Google that. After that flash twrp.

It says to flash it in "PDA"... my Odin 3.12.3 doesn't have any "PDA" option... it has BL, AP, CP and CSC
Edit:
IT WORKED. Thanks!

Yes, root via chainfire (pda/ap radio button (option) in odin to flash). Then flash the recovery image (cwm (most stable for me)or twrp (least stable for me)).
Beamed in by telepathy.

no need to root - just flash via Odin.

my phone is currently rooted, i meant should i unroot before flashing?
whenever I flash a stock firmware via odin my phone gets unrooted automaticaly
I had the same question but after searching a bit, I was informed I could just flash using Odin. Most likely lose root but can be rerooted afterwards, at least that's what I was told.

Hello all!
I want to re-install my stock firmware without wiping user data (specially Google account log-in data). Are there any way to do it?
I search how to make a flashable zip file from the .tar.md5. But there's no SGS3 tutorial (found only Epic 4G Touch tutorial).
Thanks!
Data isn't wiped if you flash official firmware so any of our guides here work

I'd recommend desktop odin for official firmwares

I suggest you search through your device forum and find out. There are other ways though, ODIN is only required to flash stock based ROMs on Samsung devices.

If you use that tar, that will put your phone back to factory stock out of the box with the newest software version. If you are looking for the latest version of twrp, just Google and then you can reroot and then put twrp back on. Use Odin to do it all. Hope that helps. Now if you are already rooted, then yes, just find the latest version of twrp and then flash in Odin.

I've been dying to root my second Samsung and as far as I know it's not possible to root coi9 at the moment? I hope I'm wrong
Coi9 requires a custom kernal that installs supersu and sets selinux to permissive

So it's not possible flashing the kernel and and supersu sperately through odin? Like Using Alex V recovery in 5.1.1
No that kernal does all of the tweaks and installs during bootup and then you can flash the custom recovery for tour device

Here is how to root but on your device you may loose the use of the fingerprint scanner.
Also go to sammobile and get your latest firmware available for download and get the latest odin from there as well. I always do those steps before alter my device as reassurence that i can restore in case of soft brick
