I've owned 3 Samsung devices and never had an issue. I downloaded the cf auto root and tried flashing it as instructed through Odin 3. I had already installed twrp before all this. It wasn't rooting properly and now it won't boot and isn't recognized in Odin anymore and I can't get into twrp. Please help!

dont you still have TWRP installed?
Can you get in TWRP?

Try to hold power button until it turns off. Then turn it back on

PS: OFF TOPIC:
You can root using TWRP, I was able to root mine. I think thats in the advanced settings option

Never had a samsung hold that count. Never seen warranty bit count either tho. Should have read up more. Dumb move. So is it possible to indoor for ota?

I think you can get them if you install stock recovery.

Oh well. Wish I woulda known that. No one to blame but myself. Hope nothing happens to it.

It has been rumored that Samsung will not warrant the device if it is bricked but if the power button breaks they would most likely repair it.

Rooting device

Hi
I dont know what really happen to your device but here some things that might help.

1. Get the latest twrp zipfile should be 2.6.3
2. Unpack in a New directory on your PC - in this directory should be 2 files - one ODIN and one TWRP
3. Use the ODIn in that new directory only this Odin version will work.
4 load the TWRP file into ODIN
5 The only Oding Setting which should be changed is the Auto Re-Boot Option switch it off.
6 Than start the Load Process be patient can Take up to 6 Min.

This works i did it myself if any further question feel free to ask - ih this has helped a thanks would be nice-

Good Luck
