Recover data from SM-N900 - Heimdall/Odin help
After burning midnight oil (5 hours straight!), finally I could get Odin to flash TWRP! I had to do 2 things:


Not use the .tar directly, but extract the .img and then use a .bat script (found on XDA forums) to convert it to .tar.md5
Get the latest version of the TWRP recovery: twrp-2.8.6.0-ha3g


(But I'm not very sure why the original .tar didnt work, though!)

Odin version used: 3.10.7
