[solved!] Used ODIN to install twrp but phone won't boot into recovery at all

[GoodKnight_IL]

Problem solved! i was installing the wrong version of twrp this is the correct version: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j5xnlte/

I'm using SM-J510H

So I installed samsung drivers.
I even installed ADB and it's drivers (now i have samsung android in the device manager)

I downloaded TWRP for j53gxx:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/j53gxx/

The .tar for odin (twrp-3.4.0-0-j53gxx.img.tar)

I did the OEM unlock and debugging thing I even got the notification that the computer was trying to access blah blah I did allow always.

Put the phone in download mode (Down + Home + Power)
Press up to enter download mode.

Connect the phone.
Untick reboot in odin.

Use the ap to select the correct file

Start success!

I try to reload into recovery tried so many different ways even the adb command to reboot into recovery. All I get is a little thing on the top left saying warranty bit recovery and then the screen is black.

It doesn't load into the default recovery it just stays black. I need to take the battery to rest...

I tried with adb but when i force it to load up into download mode (adb reboot bootloader)
adb doesn't recognize the phone anymore

I've now downloaded the android ask maybe that will solve things lol but does anyone have any advice please?

Should I consider installing a different recovery? like maybe CWM?

It has a costume rom on i guess it says "Hebrew by daniel mouyal for bt" in the about tab in the settings...

I tried using ADB to install but when it's in download mod it can't find the phone so when i enter the install command:"fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img" it says: "waiting for device"

Well I've been installing the wrong version of twrp lol sry!

So just in case someone else hits the same problem it's not the twrp i posted before but this one:

When recovery is finished flashing in Odin, remove your battery to turn the device off.
Then put the battery back in and press vol+ and power button and home button at the same time.
Your device should then boot into twrp.

If you reboot before doing this the android operating system will ovewrite twrp with stock recovery and you will have to start the process again

Also you used the wrong twrp. J53gxx is 2015 model j500h and j5xnlte is j510fn not j510h. You must be careful or else you may seriously damage your device.

Use this twrp here for your device j510h

Thank you for the response!
I managed to figure out the issue it was the wrong twrp version.. I can't update the title though

That's no problem.

What I would suggest though is to post how you fixed your issue in case anyone has problems in the future they can be referred to your thread here
