Samsung Custom Recovery Failing

I have previously installed TWRP and Cyanogenmod 13 on my Galaxy S4. I'm now attempting to port CyanogenMod to my brother's Galaxy J5. The recovery has built ok (i think) and I've compressed the image to a tar file using 7-zip. I then successfully flashed this recovery tar onto the phone using ODIN 3.07's PDA tab. The flash says PASS, but on attempting to boot to the recovery I get stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy J5" Splash screen, with the ODIN Download Mode text in the top-left, suggesting to me that the recovery has somehow crashed. The phone is not rooted so I cannot access the logs, and both Kingroot and Kingo Root failed to root the device. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? If so, can you help? I'm kind of stuck here - I created a forum account just to post this.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I can't post the link to the image because I haven't got 10 posts yet. If anyone can tell me how to attach it I'll be more than happy to.
