Fixed - I9505 - kernel is not seandroid enforcing - Reboot & Hangs ! Easy !

S4 I9505
Problem:
Start up screen top left corner shows:
kernel is not seandroid enforcing
Hangs up or Reboots.
I updated my S4 to Version: I9505XXUEMKE
Then I used Odin to Flash a Root with Stock recovery & SU, something went WRONG!
Knox is now 0x1, which should not have happened, but what can I say.
BaM, I got the Reboots & Hang ups.
But, I still could get into Recovery & Download Mode!
SO HERE IS THE FIX:
1. Download, Odin 3 - THx 2 - daerragh
--- I used Ver.: Odin 3.07
2. Download, http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
--- Register
--- And download your Firmware, if you know which you had before it crashed choose that one otherwise Upgrade to latest.
--- For me it was the latest version - I9505XXUEMKE ---- THx 2 -- Repulsa for the tip.
3. Start Odin 3.07 --- [Should it "FAIL" Read note at the Bottom #6].
--- Make sure - Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time are checked - Nothing else.
--- Click on PDA choose your Firmware file in my case "I9505XXUEMKE"
--- this can take a minute or two, WAIT, the PDA will check mark itself.
4. To start Turn off your phone completely ! Now hold following buttons to get into Download Mode,
--- Volume Down
--- Home
--- and last Power
--- S4 will enter into DL Mode
Seeing you have already tried to root you phone, you should have you Samsung USB drivers.
5. Press Start
--- This will take time, after it Reboot itself,
--- remove the USB Cabel & wait
--- at least 5 minutes don't remember how long, I came back after 5 Minutes and it was done,
---------- so then if everything went well for you, have fun :good: .
6. FAIL
--- Should it Fail while uploading to your phone,
--- A. Remove Battery
--- B. Remove USB cabel
--- C. Restart.
--- Should it Fail again (which happend to me), then Do A. B. C. again.
--- and this time Touch your screen about every minute.
I Know that sounds weird, but it worked for me maybe something to do with "Stand by? no clue".
If this has help you in anyway please hit that :good: Thanks Bottun
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for anything happening to your phone as a result of you flashing this Rom.

[Help Please] TMO-S4- Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
Hello,
Let me start off by saying, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to rooting (Infact - It took me a few days to even convince myself to do this) and I did look around for several guilds on how to remove this error (Downloaded Odin - Got Stock TAR.MD5) But I still get this error on my phone when I start the phone, it wouldn't be much of a probelm, except it hangs for a while and then restarts.) It also gets stuck for a long time at the T-Mobile load screen. The Wifi Wont turn on their... Please Help.
Galaxy S4: SGH-M919
T-Mobile...

I'm not an expert in Android OS but I think this is not an error. It is more of a notification that the STOCK KERNEL has been change to a CUSTOM one.

You are right :highfive:

Hi guys
A friend and I tried to update my rooted Samsung S4 i9505 to the official kitkat version. Had the unofficial one before. Unfortunatly we didn't turn on the usb debugging and there wasn't enough space on my memory card. After removing the data from the sd card it still didn't work (usb debuging?). My friend then tried to install a custom rom of some sort (I'm the noob here. He has some skills). No whenever I try to start my cell up the message KERNAL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING pops up in the top left corner. Can I turn on the usb debugging from the pc? What should I do?
Thanks

I have tried to use Kies both versions and it doesn't work, The only way to get it to work is flash CWM which allows me back into my device.
Any ideas on how to get back to stock Thanks?

Use a different usb port. Always use the ports on the back of your pc not the ones on the front.

Thanks Lennyz for the reply, I tried the back usb 2.0 and 3.0 and both failed with the same error message as originally posted. Can i just restore the kernel some how and will that fix the issue?

I think I know what you did. You try to flash an older stock firmware on to your device. Pick a newer firmware because downgrading is not possible.

you need to find the stock files for you device and flash via odin, theres plenty guides of how to use odin, once you have the files its pretty easy, what software was it running originally? 4.2.2? or 4.3?

hey there mate , your having a problem flashing that file because its a 4.2.2 rom and you already have a newbootloader which mean Not possible to downgrade when you have Knox Warranty Void. and you can check this threadto know more about KNOX, so Download and Flash a 4.3 base in your country and you should be fine.Have a nice day.
Edit: You can download a Official rom from here base from your country.

Odin was interrupted at the bootloader update (sboot.bin). You need the "factory ROM" to flash it, however I am not aware if anything for 4.2.2 would be available for now.

Well it doesn't work, when I turn on the phone a black screen with a cellphone, a warning sign and a monitor appears and a text says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
With this screen I can only go into download mode but when I try recovery mode it just puts the screen black and back to the same text and pictures.
Another thing that worries me it's that I can't turn the phone off with the button, only if I pull the battery out.

This can be recovered I had same prblm some months ago bt I just flashed stock firmware nd it was fixed u may try flashing stock rom again

Try some other firmware of you own region ......... 4.3 or 4.4 whichever u have for your region .......I think then u will nt get same error

Obviously not. simple flash of ROM is not sorting out the corrupted bootloader problem.

considering your situation, I doubt if it will work. you have to pick from two scenarios:
a) your download mode shows warranty void, knox void, custom: then you have to go to step 2 below.
b) your download mode shows all statuses samsung or official or 0x0 - then go to 1
1. Call samsung service center, they shall sort it out under the warranty.
2. More complicated, if you do not want to pay for repairs.
DELETED, procedure was for I9505 ONLY
you have to follow the procedure form this link instead.
Good luck.

You will need the PC with not faulty CPU, first.
Then, you have to use the PIT from here
Of course, you will need the Qualcomm drivers as well, from here or this one
Then, you have to follow the relatively simple procedure described here
That shall fix the corrupted bootloader, and I hope that you will not see the described there errors which would point to the hardware problem.
Good luck.

Warning!
He said he is in trouble with a I9500 device, so the Qualcomm drivers will not help....much.

Just an observation, you said you have no recovery right? So have you tried just flashing the tar of PhilZ recovery using Odin to get it back?
At least then you'll have a recovery again and can move forward with a custom ROM install

When i dont press Vol Up+ home+ power button, the normal logo appears without Recovery booting issue, but it just restarts, sorry for bad English, but if someone can help me, or ask me for any more details, it would be nice and i would really appreciate it. Thanks in forward.

When flash stock rom it just writes with blue letters Recovery booting.... end it restarts, and doing that infinite times.It probably tries to boot stock recovery, but it can't boot it. There is on youtube video named: Galaxy S5 Manual Factory Reset with Stock Android Recovery ,play it on 1:26. thats when it stucks, and restarts, not booting recovery
When i flash TWRP,CWM or PhilZ, it says the Recovery booting, then recovery is not seandroid enforcing, set warranty bit:recovery
I've flashed UK BTU G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXA1ANE2_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar.md5 downloaded from Sammobile, i've also tried Hong Kong TGY G900FZHU1ANI2_G900FZZH1ANI2_G900FZHU1ANI2_HOME.tar.md5
but, its same thing happening, idk what to do, and yes its original G900F, checked with IMEI from box and from back on phone, also checked with Serial Number S/N, its okay, phone is 100% original, but it had this problem so that is why it is 175 euros.
When i try CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5, it passes odin successfully, but, when it restarts then i again get Recovery booting, then recovery is not seandroid enforcing, set warranty bit:recovery

I would pull the battery, wait 20 seconds, boot into recovery (volume up + menu + power) and do a data factory reset and see if it boots. After the boot flash the latest superSU.zip in recovery for root.

Download TWRP from here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/klte/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-gt-klte.tar and flash it with Odin. Disable Kies in windows task manager first. In Odin uncheck Auto Reboot and right after the flash pull the battery, wait 20 seconds and boot into recovery.
BTW custom recovery`s are never seandroid enforcing/warranty bit:recovery.

I thik it might be best to flash a stock rom in downloadmode to get the phone booting again. Download a rom for your country from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900F and flash it with Odin 3.09. Data factory reset afterwards when the phone has booted in recovery.

Galaxy Grand 2 (SM-G7102) stuck in Recovery Booting after firmware update via ODIN

Ok am new here and have to admit that I've had a pretty long day trying to figure out what exactly went wrong with my Galaxy Grand 2 (SM-G7102) after flashing the 4.4.2 Official firmware I downloaded from sammobile to the device using Odin. The process is successful, no errors whatsoever from Odin but when the device restarts it shows the usual Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 logo with some tiny blue text at the top "Recovery Booting" and from there nothing else happens.
I have tried to flash the firmware again using a different PC, USB cable and even Odin version but I get the same result. Previously my device was running Android 4.3 and I wanted to upgrade to Android 4.4.2.
Here is what I get from Odin.

then take your mobile to service centre. .

please help me.i have this problem with grand 2
i dont know how can i fix it...please tell me..if you resolved.

For anyone who still has this problem on their Galaxy Grand 2, apparently I never found a way to fix it. But after giving up on the phone and giving it to my cousin, he was more patient than me and he left the phone powered on while stuck on the Logo screen and after say 30 minutes to 1 hour the phone booted up.
The phone works normally, however should you power it down..turning it on again will take it roughly 30 mins to an hour to get past the initial Logo screen, am not sure why but that is how it now behaves.
Try connecting it to a charger while you wait for it to boot, hopefully it will work for you as well.

Thanks

I no how to fix the problem is i think u have not downloaded of ur region

Same damn problem here
Problem seems to be related to fake Samsung Phones. I went to the Samsung assistance centre in Guangzhou (China) and they felt quite embarrassed to tell me that although I may accept to pay any fee they charge they cannot fix my phone because it is not made by Samsung and that is easily the reason why it has a faulty boot manager, probably hacked by incompetents.
Either the phone is fake or the official Samsung Service centre here is, in any case there seems to be no way around it.
I a looking now for some way to reload the original boot loader and then restart from there.

I am having exactly this same problem. I actually installed a Custom ROM from here, but the ROM had some bugs and I later decided to go back to the official firmware from Smasung, only to get stuck on the Samsung boot.

i am here with the same problem with some minor changes

Has anyone found solution yet? I'm having same problem with my Grand 2 Duos.
only download mode is working. Can't boot to recovery or normal.
After leaving in charging for 15-20 mins, I got white flash-logo( something new then ever).
So keeping it in charging for more time. let's see...!
PS: phone starts with grand 2 logo and then samsung comes up with audio. that's it ! after 3-4 mins later reboots and so on.
in recovery mode it shows android symbal and loading bar.. then it reboots in normal mode. and so on.

I guess you guys have downloaded a wrong firmware. I mean, sure it says it's for Grand 2 but the "Region" is different. Try downloading the one for your region like if you are from India, you gotta need indian version that is INS.
