Warranty bit: recovery

Good day,
I've tried to update my old note 10.1, downloaded Twrp, followed the instructions. When my tablet restarted the message "warranty bit: recovery" appeared. I followed another set of instructions, used odun 3 to complete the process, al went fine up to that point. Once it restarted that message appeared again. Now I can turn the tablet off, nor can I access anything, my pc doesn't recognise the tablet. Is there a way to fix this... Pls thank you

Did you use a guide online? Do you have a link for it? Are you sure the term you used was for your exact model? What exactly did you do?

Just remember, the more details you give us the better we can help.

I followed a you tube video that explained the process and various other sources, all of them had the same process to follow. Yes I'm 100% sure about the correct version of my tablet and the files I downloaded.

Well without knowing exactly what you did, I'm not sure what you can do. Can you boot into recovery or download mode? If so you might be able to flash a firmware update. You can get it at sammobile. Just make sure you get the right one for your model as they are very device specific.

TX, I can't boot into recovery or download boot, it's just stuck at that screen that says: warranty bit: recovery... It doesn't want to switch off either, I have to remove the battery... After I've installed Twrp it booted up, I then did a reset, from the software, it restarted and since is stuck at that page. I'll post a picture later... Tx for your help, much appreciated

A factory reset? Why did you do that? What exactly are you trying to do? You mentioned in the op that you are trying to update your device. You don't need twrp for that. Are you trying to root it?

I wanted a new os, the current version does not support certain software I want to use..
Could you be more specific and provide some pertinent details? Vague references can only result in equally vague suggestions.
-- What is the specific model I.D. of your Note 10.1? (i.e. some have a SCH-i925x designation, some GT-N80xx)
-- Where did you obtain the ROM you used, and are you sure that it specifically matched your model? ROMs are not interchangeable between different models or different variants, they are very specific.
-- It's also vital you used the correct version of TWRP. They're also model specific. There's an Exynos and a Qualcomm version of TWRP for Note 10.1 devices.

From your description, it sounds like either the flashing process failed in some way (posting the end result Odin log might reveal something notable) or you used a ROM that doesn't match your model I.D. Flashing an incorrect ROM will result in something like that a boot loop or failure to boot up at all -- with no working operating system your Note can't boot up so it just fail. Try downloading the appropriate Samsung stock ROM from sammobile or frija, flash that onto your Note to restore it back to working condition. Flashing a stock, Samsung ROM will install a clean copy of Android and a stock Recovery so when you get your Note working again, you'll need to start over if you want to root and install a custom ROM again. Just be sure everything you flash onto it is for your specific model.
