I know I'm not the only person to have been in this situation, but every thread I've seen either has no solution, or the standard "flash with Odin" advice. I have an SM-T813 which was running Lineage OS 16. It was fine. Had worked for years. I thought I'd try Lineage OS 17, so in preparation, I tried to flash the newest TWRP. Maybe I missed a step, maybe it was just a bad flash, but afterwards the device booted to a screen just like download mode only without the green background. Just black with "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 Powered by Android. Apparently my recovery is corrupt.
