Cant flash twrp via odin - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I watch and follow all the steps in youtube to flash twrp but when i start it it always say "reset" Then it will reboot my phone (hoping that it was success) but still when i go to recovery it still the stock recovery. Samsung s5 g900f.

In Odin, uncheck the auto-reboot box, then flash the twrp. Then unplug phone, pull battery, and reboot into TWRP directly. (Vol UP + Home + Power). This is required so TWRP can stick.

Can't get into TWRP Recovery

So I was on my TWRP recovery and I wiped Dalvik cache and all the other things that I was able to wipe while I was on the TWRP recovery and now my phone won't boot up. It is stuck on the white screen that says, "htc powered by android"
I assume that I probably wiped the os and everything. I can't get access to the TWRP recovery now what do I do?
Hold power, vol up, and vol down. Try that, if that does not work try holding the power button down till the phone shuts off, they hold power button and vol down this should get you into recovery.

Power button + vol down is the button combo for bootloader, not recovery. Bootloader and recovery completely different things, so its important not the confuse them.
Power + vol up will restart the phone (similar to a battery pull on phones with a use accessible battery).
Power+ vol up and vol down is not any button combination for this phone I am familiar with.
Its not clear whether the OP is having trouble accessing bootloader; or if he can access bootloader but not recovery. Again, these are 2 very different issues. You are right, in that failure to access bootloader is almost always a matter of user error in not performing the button combo correctly. If the phone is stuck on the boot splash (which is what it sounds like) the correct sequence would be:
1) Hold power + vol up until the phone reboots.
2) The moment the screen goes black, but before the boot splash screen, let go of the vol up, and press vol down
3) Do not let go of vol down until the bootloader screen appears
Failure to get into bootloader is usually because either the user started pressing vol down to late; or let go of it too early. As long as the screen comes on, bootloader is virtually always accessible.

Of course the phone won't boot. If you wiped /system, the OS is wiped.
If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't be wiping it.
Some folks like to wipe /system before they flash a new ROM for the sake of being thorough, but technically this is not necessary. Flashing a ROM always wipes /system.
But it doesn't sound like you were flashing a ROM. What were you trying to do, and why were you wiping things?
My advice would be to access bootloader as described above, then select recovery. Alternately, use adb to reboot into recovery:
adb reboot recovery
If you still can't get into recovery with either the adb command or from bootloader, its likely that recovery was somehow damaged or otherwise not accessible. Use fastboot to flash it again (boot into bootloader, select fastboot mode):
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(where "filename.img" is the actual name of the desired the recovery file with no quotes, placed in your fastboot folder on your computer)
Once recovery is working again, either restore your nandroid or flash the stock rooted or custom ROM of your choice.

I appreciate your response I'm not even sure what it is that I did wrong. I was just kind of messing around and clicking things. I've learned my lesson the hard way. lol Anyways, I managed to flash the viper one rom somehow lol and now everything is ok.
I am having the same issues. but wiping the recovery cache and all that is mentioned does not work. I flash newest and or oldest twrp via fastboot commands and nothing works. It gets stuck on the white screen with the pink letters for rebooting to recovery, then after a while it just reboots the phone into the OS.

You're talking about a completely different issue now, and not enough details and specifics.
Are you on AT&T?
How long is "a while", is it a year, a month, a week?
Did you change anything (new ROM, etc.) that may have stopped cell service from working; or did it just start happening spontaneously?
Does the SIM work properly on another phone (if available)? Did you try a different SIM (your provider's store might be able to help with that).
No service at all, not even emergency calls possible?
Hello Guys,
I have an issue with TWRP recovery. I can't enter in TWRP from bootloader. I have installed ViperOneM8 5.0.1. and used now for more then one year. I also notice that my battery last just for 8 hours and I think it should help to clean my phone. When I decide to clean my phone I try to enter in recovery and when I chose an option recovery in bootloader it is trying to enter but then it goes back to bootloader. I also try to install new TWRP recovery via usb cable (ADB) and issue stay the same. In the past I enter in TWRP recovery with out any problems. Can somebody help regarding this issue?
Thank you and BR...

What are the specific results when you flash TWRP? Any error messages? Or does it say successful?
What version TWRP did you try? Saying "new" is not enough. I've often seen folks say they used "new" or "latest" and when prompted for a version number, it turns out the version is 2 years old.
What firmware (OS number on bootloader screen)?
Also, try fastboot erase cache, and try to flash TWRP again.

When I flash TWRP it say successful. I also try to flash it with TWRP manager.
I try to flash version 2.8.7.0. When I saw I couldn't enter in TWRP, then I also try with TWRP manager and try to flash version 3.0.2.0. But again no luck.
OS number is 4.16.401.13
I try to fastboot erase cache, but when I select fastboot I have no option erase cache in bootloader. Only Hboot, Ramdump, reboot, reboot fastboot & power down.
Do you have any new hints for me and thank you for your time...
BR,
Basinc.

I'd stick with flashing by fastboot command. Apps like TWRP Manager just add a layer of needless complication. Something more to go wrong.
Both those TWRP versions should be okay, I think. But for your OS number, I'd be inclined to stick with 2.8.7.0

Its not a bootloader option on the phone, its a fastboot command you issue on your computer, like the one you used to flash TWRP. Connect the phone to PC, boot phone to bootloader-fastboot mode. Then in command prompt:
fastboot erase cache
Then try to flash TWRP 2.8.7 again, and see if you can them boot into TWRP.
Hi Redpoint,
I try to erase cache via usb cable like I would flash recovery. In cmd cache was erased successfully. I also flash recovery successfully in cmd, but then I can't enter in recovery from bootloader. When I chose option recovery I go back to bootloader. The same as before. Do you have any other hint for this problem?

Hmm, not sure what the problem might be. All I can think of is relock the bootloader (not needed if s-off) and RUU back to full stock image (basically, "start from scratch"), then try to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP again.
For that matter, you can RUU up to Marshmallow (MM) firmware, to get everything up to date. Although you will need to flash the MM firmware first, then MM RUU as described in the red text under RUUs section of my Index thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Also, keep in mind that RUU will wipe all data on the phone.

[Q] help me Power button is dead

​Please help me !!
Fastboot: VOL UP
Flashmode: VOL DOWN
Yes, you can access recovery by flashing a kernel that has Recovery. The you power it on (somehow), and boot into recovery. May i ask you what you want to do in Recovery?

Hi thank you
Bet Fast Boot Not Working
only flashmod working
Can I flash a custom kernel with Ftf?
only Ftf flash
I want TWRP
You'll need to use Fastboot to flash a kernel. You can flash a stock ROM using flashmode if you want to. Just remember to un-check "data" and stuff under "Wipe" before flashing, unless you want to delete everything on your Ultra.

Can't flash twrp

Recently bricked my honor 5x used fast boot to get it out of boot loop. (Because I tried to its update my phone with twrp)now when I try to re flash twrp it gets replaced by the stock recovery Everytime . Please help!
Samething happend to me... cannot flash twrp because when i restart phone after flashing twrp, it gets replaced by stock recovery.
What i do now is to boot to twrp instead of flashing using this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-kiwi.img
Hopefully there is a solution for this flashing problem.

you can't just reboot after flashing recovery ...you have to boot directly to twrp after the flash with power + volume up (Skip the fastboot reboot step)
the simple way is to copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to your sdcard
fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now in twrp choose install / image / then choose kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose reboot / recovery
you now have kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
from then on adb reboot recovery from android
or power + volume up will enter TWRP

why are you using adb ?
did you read the instructions i posted
I have the stock recovery.
I cant get into twrp.
I tried to flash then go straight to twrp which gets replaced by stock bootloader
Idk it gets replaced everytime
Okay the adb thing stopped I got into twrp by doing the fastboot thing but when i boot into recovery it goes to the stock recovery.

I really don't know why you don't seem to get it
it's this simple
you fastboot boot kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
now while in TWRP copy kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img to the phone
Also copy SuperSU-v2.64.zip (or newer) to the phone
after the files are copied choose Install / Image / kiwi_twrp_3-21_recovery.img
next choose install / SuperSU.zip
next choose Reboot / Recovery
you now have TWRP recovery and you can enter it by using power + volume up
or from an app on the phone (I use Quickboot) or from a pc with adb reboot recovery
I have the same problem, i tried with your method but the system continue to replace bootloader, impossible to keep twrp on recovery
Edit : I try to install Root Checker, it detect my phone is root but impossible to access to TWRP, very strange

Tried this on my KIW-L21, as this is the only way I did not try it yet...
Did not work, unfortunately, I assume the OP could have the same problem as I already posted in the TWRP thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66678377&postcount=509
(It is a shame people spam this thread with unlocking problems, though)
EarlyMon mentioned something about dual recovery partitions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66838009&postcount=529
So regardless how many times I flash TWRP it wont stick until the next reboot to recovery, as it gets replaced by the stock one all the time.
I am thankful for every news on that topic and I would happily help(to the extent I am able to) getting TWRP back onto our phones :good:
P.S.: I am not quite sure if the OP has another problem in flashing the recovery, though.

So you are booting TWRP
Installing / TWRP.Img in TWRP and Reboot recovery and your not booting to TWRP ?
Just my two cents into this thread: apparently (from my personal experience, and EarlyMon seems to back this up) the Honor 5X for whatever reason allows the installation of TWRP but still keeps Huawei's stock recovery in place, unlike most phones. What's more, it randomly (yeah, guessing it's not random obviously, but I don't have the slightest clue what the pattern might be) decides to boot into stock recovery while I use the same hardware keys that have continuously booted me into TWRP up until that point. This behavior led me to believe I had bricked my phone for a day, lol (I made a recent post about it on this forum, in case anyone cares).
Bottom line: if you can't boot into TWRP even though you made sure to install it correctly, try changing the key combo. Vol down + Power not working for you? Try Vol Up. Neither work? Try Vol Up + Down + Power. Spice it out and it might solve your problems.

That is correct:

I can try with a specific image, just give me a link and I'll try to flash it. :fingers-crossed:

Is your device rooted? If yes, download any "Reboot app that needs Root", press the reboot to recovery and it should work. If it doesnt boot to recovery, it means the recovery was not installed properly.
Can try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=phongit.quickreboot&hl=en
Alternatively, install this app and it can allow you to select which recovery to install. If you have your recovery installed, it will be detected.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camber.ndrutils&hl=en
Thanks for your answer!
The device is not rooted and it is not planed to do it in the original rom because I want to backup the original rom from recovery without any changes.
Do you know how i can check if the recovery was flashed properly?

I was under the impression that the Z2 Tab doesn't support reboot to recovery and instead you wait until the LED turns green on power-up and then you hold Vol-Down until it turns purple. The device will then boot to recovery.
At least, my rooted SGP511 won't reboot into recovery via any of the usual apps, but above works every time.

Start your phone in fastboot mode, flash TWRP, disconnect and reconnect the battery.
Now hold volume down + power until you see the LG logo, keep holding volume down and let go of the power button for a moment and then hold the power button again while still holding the volume down button.
You will now see a prompt asking if you'd like to factory reset, press yes to both prompts.
You will now be inside TWRP.
Which variant you are using.

I've tried this process myself and I get the same result. Reply Yes, Yes to factory reset and it *should* then start TWRP but it doesn't. You end up with a wiped phone and have to start all over again. Tried process a few times and never works.

The only reason it wouldn't work is if you did not flash TWRP correctly, make sure flashing TWRP with fastboot was successful before disconnecting the battery and entering the factory reset prompt.

On V20a-234-30. I have flashed TWRP successfully in the past. Might try LGUP to V20D and then try, but if it factory resets I waste hours while phone goes through setup to try again

Yes I know it is very annoying when that happens, you should definitely flash the latest version regardless, I'm sure you won't have the problem after flashing :good:.

Found it! After you install twrp, you just execute 2 more commands:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
Don't reboot, just turn it off.
Works like a charm!
