Tried to flash twrp 3.1.1-1 from twrp app and i couldnt boot in system or recovery. It showed samsung logo and it showed like i was in download mode. I needed to reflash 3.1.1-0 to work again
Did u flash correctly? You should choose recovery box and not boot to properly flash it. That's why appears the download mode screen.

If it was that,it wouldnt work if i just flashed the previous recovery back. And it just looks like download mode,but it isnt. It shows odin mode up left but in the middle shows galaxy j5 logo.

====> I FOUND A BIG PROBLEM! <==== @vince2678
TWRP doesnt decrypt data. It says "Invalid Pattern"
I have tried it with PIN and Pattern 3x3. Both didnt worked.
Could you fix this, please?
Thank you!

Hi, its been sometime since I downloaded or flashed anything on my phone. I am trying to flash tWRP but I keep getting a fail message. I am using Odin and the phone is not rooted. I wanted a quick flash, but I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Help.

Its ok now. Sorry, i had forgotten to unlock OEM

Untick auto reboot when android is restarted sometimes it reverts back to the old recovery. Untick auto reboot and when the download is finished take out the battery. Personally I don't like this method what I do is hold power and vol down to restart and when the phone restarts hold vol up, power button and home to enter recovery. Hope this helps

This is our of maintenance. Use newer images from:

https://download.msm8916.com

And yes, it will void your warranty.
Anyway of getting twrp to recognise files on a device with adoptable storage enabled.
On my j500f this version of twrp recognises the sd card as basically empty while on version from like last September it recognises all files on the sd card. It only ever happened since like the march update of twrp
