I installed the latest version of CWM after finally rooting my Note 3 (N900T). Now, when I try to boot into recovery, it does the infamous loop boot with the message "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". I essentially have to pull the battery, reboot into Download Mode, then hit Volume down to boot up.
Did I miss something in the process?

Use TWRP.

Flash depending on your firmware (4.3 or 4.4)

I have TWRP installed already (I see it as an option in CWM), but I got the same result.

Use Odin to flash twrp. Get it from:
4.4 http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hlte/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-hlte-4.4.img.tar
4.3 http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hlte/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-hlte-4.3.img.tar
After it is working add a touch of class: [THEME][SGN3] TWRP Holofied - Black / Dark / Light / Play / XDA [10/09/14]
After using CF-Auto-Root, I can't boot my phone. It stucks on the boot screen and it says
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I'm going to have to try and restore to stock ROM. What went wrong?
SM-G900F on 5.0. I doubled checked that I used the correct version.
UPDATE: Just flashed stock ROM, haven't lost any data. Phone seems fine, not rooted of course.
Please tell me how to fix this so I can root for real.

I left my phone alone for about 15 minutes, nothing happened.
Tried forcing it off and manually going into recovery, left it for a while. nothing again.
Also reflashed cf-auto-root and tried them both again, nothing worked?
Also, that screen cf-auto-root is suppose to say saying doing this, doing that rebooting now or whatever doesn't show. Because after Odin finishes it won't boot and recovery mode won't work.
This is not the first time i root an android device but it is the first time im doing it on an S5, nonetheless I am pretty much stuck right now.
I tried to install CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar using Odin from here, it installed with no problems, but when the phone restarted I get:
RECOVERY BOOTING
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
and then it shuts down.
I tried to enter recovery mode by doing power+vol up+menu but nothing happens ?
Can anyone help ?
EDIT: ok, so I did manage to get it running again by flashing openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-gt-klte. This got me past the "Recovery is not seandroid...", but all in all I still didn't manage to get root access...
I passed through a similar situation , all u have to do once u've got the recovery is get the SuperSU flashable zip and flash it and ur done
Here is a direct link : https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1
This happened to me also. I am running XXU1BOJ1 . I flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img and even though it solved getting stuck at recovery, my phone still boots into the standard recovery instead of TWRP when pressing VOLUP+Home+Power. Anyone got ideas?

I did flash .img.tar actually. Still no effect - boots to regular recovery. Can't figure this out...
i get in the same situation...why still rebooting in original recovery?
i installed this one CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar with odin with succes but still have
RECOVERY BOOTING
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
then when i boot i get a black screen with all application error....the only way to get it back working was to wipe factory reset in original recovery.
what can i do to get it working so i can install custom roms?
thx in avance

I can't seem to get the coustom recovery installed, and after some digging i found this :
manubhargav said:
Actually the problem was that custom recovery(twrp here) was not installed at all, that above mentioned error occurs when you try to install SuperSU.zip from stock recovery<3e>.
This happens because when you flash custom recovery from Odin and allow it to reboot on its own, Samsung's recovery checking script checks if a custom recovery is present and overrides.
To bypass that check you need to take your battery out as soon as the recovery is flashed by Odin ( and before the phone reboots).
As soon as the Odin says PASS you should be ready to take out the battery which will stop it from rebooting,
put back the battery and enter recovery mode directly by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S5 screen flickers and the main screen of Recovery mode appears.
This will avoid script checking and will let you to custom recovery directly,there you can install SuperSU or any other zip.

Maybe your phone is not recognized in Download Mode as corresponding drivers may not be properly installed. So Computer is not able to recognize the phone when in Downlaod mode. Install SM Bus Controllers drivers from Intel from Official driver source.
After setting-up you'll be able to flash TWRP and boot into recovery mode.

The drivers are installed, and Odin sees my phone just fine, also the thing with removing the battery before it restats leads me to the error i mentioned above...

Ah, So the problem you're facing is NOT getting into recovery mode
There are 2 ways to solve the problem, (1st -> flashing recovery.tar again, 2nd-> flashing stock firmware)
First method:
Enter "Download Mode" by holding down "Volume Down"+ "Home" + "Power" button.
Flash recovery.img again and check if it boots into recovery this time.
Sometimes this may not work and you may need to try flashing firmware
Second method:
Download Firmware from here
Open odin in your PC
Enter "Download mode"
Connect the device to PC using USB
Flash the PDA, BL, AP, CSC etc.
Alternatively, You can flash the firmware using SmartSwitch

Oh but it is! That's exactly my problem. Look, here are the 3 outcomes I get regarding the whole recovery menu thing:
Go into the default recovery menu - cant install SuperSU but at least it works.
Install twrp and remove the battery after it finishes transfering and wants to restart, at which point when I go into recovery I get the above error (Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE.)
Install twrp and let it restart by itself and after it is done, go into recovery only to find it is back to the default one.

Which Kernel version are you in? Which TWRP version did you try? Install other custom recoveries? On locked bootloader?
Ok, I tried CWM and nothing changed, i get the default recovery menu...
Doing the shut down before it restarts gets me "recovery is not seandorid enforcing"

Turn OFF Auto-Reboot option in ODIN and flash the recovery.tar and remove battery and directly boot into recovery mode.
Go into a working custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SuperSU.zip from the recovery and reboot with ("Fix permissions" if there is such an option, otherwise simply reboot).

Tried that already, and as I said, I can't get a custom recovery working, it either resets to the default one or I get the "recovery is not seandorid enforcing" error.

1)
Ah use latest twrp 2.8.70
Ah use latest supersu beta 2.52
Quick download cm12.1 nightly and flash it.
Boot Rom and go into settings/aboutphone/ click build number rapidly.
Developer settings should appear, then go into developers options/ click on "root access" and enable it.
---- now test if its working . however....
2)
If its not working, take yourself back into twrp and flash that supersu beta.
----now test again. However ....
3)
If it doesn't work again .
go back to stock 5.0 rom>>> put twrp on >>> and flash DAT supersu .
now test ya rom again. However.........
4)
If it dont work again ..
go back to stock 4.4 rom>>> put twrp on>>> and flash a random supersu.
now test ya rom again. However.....
5)
if that doesn't work again,
Go back to stock rom through (odin) and restart the process from the top .
btw the "recovery is not seandorid enforcing" is normal . not an error.

First of all holy **** what an answer... let's SLOW DOWN a bit first, shall we ?
Secondly you lost me from step 1, I don't want CyanogenMod, I want the default Samsung 5.0 with TouchWiz (contrary to popular belief I actually like it).
Also I would really like to know (from someone that actually knows why this happens) why is it reverting to default recovery and how can I stop it from doing so ? manubhargav had an interesting idea, but sadly it doesn't work for everyone (as someone else mentioned on that other post)
So I'm guessing no one knows the answer to my problem considering almost a moth has passed...
I know that in kitkat the answer was to turn off / disable 'Reactivation Lock' (located under settings>>security and unchecking the box)........
I had heard that Samsung had removed that option in lollipop, but it might be worth checking......it has/had to be disabled BEFORE attempting to flash anything......

RL is still there with LP too
Got the phone recently. Here's what I did with it so far besides all the automatic updates:
1. Unlocked sim
2. Rooted using Kingroot after OEM unlocking
3. Installed TWRP using Odin
OS: 5.1.1
TWRP 2.8.7.0
Somewhere in there something went wrong, and I'm getting the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing; Set Warranty Bit: kernel" error message on boot screen. Also, every time I reboot the device, it keeps booting to TWRP.
Please help.

I think it is Normal when you flash TWRP recovery....every time pyou reboot it will boot you to recovery mode then reboot again......The Seandroid enforcing is normal when u have a other recovery than stock recovery

Install the stock frimware again and flash the twrp recovery again , but note those thing this once
1- Before flashing make sure that you had deactiviated auto reboot in Odin
2- After flashing remove the battery and open it in recovery mode and report here again
