Hello,

Is this the correct forum for troubleshooting the rooting of this device?

I was able to install the Samsung drivers on a PC[check]
enable developer mode[check]
enable usb debugging [check]
unlock oem bootloader [check] (Initially it was hidden but there was a fix for that by changing from automatic to manual system date/time from 7 days prior

The process for unlocking the bootloader is more involved for this device as you need to power off the device and hold BOTH the up/down volume keys
until the boot firmware splash screen shows up. At this point you can plug the usb cable back in and successfully unlock the bootloader by pressing the up volume button.
This series of steps is described here:


The problem now is that flashing the correct version of TWRP (Using the Odin Tool) seems to be producing a screen within the !!download!! mode of the
bootloader which doesn't finish flashing the recovery.img. This was attempted using the Odin Tool and a version of TWRP which may or may not have been the
correct version. Looking to find the correct version for this device and use the Odin to to flash it in the
bootloader screen.

Right now, when rebooting, there is an error message: Secure Check Fail: recovery.img



Any assistance is appreciated
