Ok solved the problem

1) Flashed saudiarabia firmware via odin
2) Boot into OS and give your google account info . Goto developer settings tick OEM UNLOCK option . Then delete your google account .and turn off the device .
3) connect device to ODIN ,flash twrp in AP section.diconnect device
4) Enter to recovery mode ,, you are done (donot reboot the device !!! If you reboot you have to flash twrp again) .

Thanks for the info.

After I flash the root file succesfully I get a "FAIL" message in Odin when I try to flash the TWRP file.

Any help on fixing this?

@dewald - check the screen. There's a possibility that FRP lock still locks You out from flashing.
In my case, it was telling me something like "Custom binary download blocked by FRP lock"

You can try but might run into reboot problem... Make sure you tick OEM unlock and delete your Google account first
