I upgraded my Note 3 (N9005 LTE) to ofiicial kitkat 4.4.2 with Odin. I'm also rooted and everything working flawlessly, except I can't install neither TWRP, or CMW recovery, i tried both but geting bootloop with following messages:
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel
And it just getting bootloop over and over. I can force download mode, and restart phone, and everything works great, except recovery.
I flashed recovery trough Odin, it's note first time I'm doing it, I followed instructions carefully, so doubt it was my error.
NOTE: After flashing CMW, after couple of bootlops,ODIN actually said PASS, still can't acess recovery, though...
Hope someone have a solution for this?
Thanks in forward
Make sure you are using the most recent recovery version:
[CWM] Kitkat compatible version by Chenglu
[TWRP] Kitkat compatible test version by the twrp maintainer
[TWRP] My (unofficial) kitkat compatible version
I am not getting bootloop but..
I do not have bootloop, but when I try to enter recovery mode the phone it says: Secure Fail Recovery. Then below the yellow triangle it says, System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has not been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest store for help. I was installing CWM for the Note 3. Anyone know how to fix this and install a custom recovery? I cannot enter recovery at all.

Im using samsung galaxy s4 i9505 on 4.2.2 rooted
I tried to follow instructions on this site (google search "Galaxy S4 I9505 Gets Android 4.4.2 XXUFNA5 KitKat via Omega ROM" and choose the first link from ibtimes since i cannot post a direct link as a new member) to update to omega kitkat rom. in the site the first few steps instruct to download boot loader and modem and then flash it to my mobile after flashing and rebooting I got the message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" in red and a sub message "set warranty bit: kernel" in yellow during the boot. Once my phone was rebooted I was unable to turn on the wifi. When i try to press the wifi in the notification panel it simply doesn't turn green and stays grey. Long press on the wifi and then manually turning it on also does not help it simply says wifi turning on but does nothing.
1) Did this happen because I flashed those bootloader and modem files? how can I fix this problem? please help (I have tried restoring many many times from my nandroid backup and even tried factory reset with wipe from recovery)
2) Other problems I'm having is in download mode my kernel shows 0x1 so did this also happen because of flashing those files? any fix?
3) Under settings my baseband version is also showing unknown after all this occurred.. why could this be?
P.S. I had performed a nandroid backup initially when i had a clockWorkmod recovery version 6.0.3 of course when i performed the backup my system was perfectly fine without the kernel message during boot. then i installed the philz touch 6.0.4.6 custom recovery as per the instructions on the website above and used that to install the kitkat omega rom after the reboot it got stuck on a boot loop so I had to do a restore from recovery. All my settings/data/apps were restored but the kernel message was still there during the boot and my wifi stopped working.

i had the same problem as you thou i already had a kitkat rom on mine and after i done a update to a new version of the same rom my wifi wouldnt work. I spent 3 weeks trying different fixes to no avail and had to by a new board which cost me $200.
i really loved the kitkat Roms and are at the point now of wanting to know what steps i should take now to install and not end up where you are again.

Hi, Having installed a few Custom ROMs in the past without TOO much hassle, I'm scratching my head over the problems I'm having with a recently acquired SM-9005 (running Unbranded Stock ROM - N9005XXUGNG1).
I've rooted it fine using the CF-Root download for 4.4 bootloaders (4.3 version definitely no good - get the "Recovery is not SEANDROID enforcing" issue) but the best I can get off the recovery boot, is the Stock Recovery menu (which you cannot install custom rom's with).
Every time I try and install the relevant CWM or TWRP from ODIN and try and boot into recovery, I get the error about not being able to boot into that mode and it loads the "Download mode".
The phone still works fine but trying to get it to boot into a CWM or TWRP menu is not happening.
I was thinking of re-flashing the stock KitKat ROM but trying to download one of those from the various options is painful (either the link is broken, or the download refuses to start or the resulting download is corrupt)

Thanks Lambik,
Downloading BTU-N9005XXUENB7 now (but extremely slow) - so is the theory that the stock N9005XXUGNG1 ROM has a protected bootloader ?
Will another stock KitKat ROM resolve this ?
So, if I had bought this phone with JellyBean still on, I wouldn't have had all these problems?
All Fixed,
Found the answer on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485607 .
Basically I just needed to Flash the KitKat BL+CWM
Hi Guys,
trying to flash a custom Rom on my Note 3. It is a UK model supplied by EE but is unbranded.
Flashed several phones before, just running into some issues this time round.
Got my Rom, Autoroot, CWM and Odin downloaded.
Flash Autoroot with Odin - no problem.
Flash CWM with Odin - no problem - until i try to boot into recovery anyway.
No error message etc on Odin but when i try to boot into recovery it keeps saying "cannot do normal boot" and puts me into download mode.
I can get to download mode to reflash and have tried TWRP with the same results.
It is saying "custom binary" when in download mode, and my Knox counter has tripped to 1 (phone out of warranty so not fussed).
Ive searched online and cannot find a thread where they actually manage to sort the problem.
Presumably what I want to do (install a custom Rom) is not impossible as there are so many Roms etc available for the Note 3, I am just a bit stuck as to my next step.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Use TWRP or Philz Recovery .
Thanks for the reply JJEgan, I tried Twrp also to the same effect. I did try Cwm first though, is this a common thing when using Cwm or have I done something wrong?
Im going to flash a stock 4.4.2 from SamUK and try again from scratch to see if it made a difference coming from 4.4.2 instead of 5.0 and then TWRP
Hi Guys
I believe you guys on here will be able to help. Let me first tell you about my device and what I want to do and then what I did and what problems I encountered.
Device: Samsung Note 4 International Model SM-N910H (Exynos CPU)
OS: 6.0.1
Build Number: MMB29K.N910HXXU2DPE2
I only want to root my device and install Custom Recovery like CWM. I don't want to install a Custom ROM!
So I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-tre3g-tre3gxx-smn910h.tar.md5 and used Odin 3.12 to flash tar file to phone. After that phone rebooted and got stuck into the "Samsung Galaxy Note 4" Screen displaying in red letters on top left Corner "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
So I downloaded CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6.tar and flashed with Odin again, this time the phone rebooted back into my Working Phone OS and all seems fine. SO I wanted to test if CWM is installed? Powered phone down and booted into recovery & then got the same "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message on screen, so rebooted phone normally and it goes back into the OS. Also SuperU is not installed and phone is not rooted
So how do I solve this issue getting a Custom Recovery on my Phone Since I don't have any Recovery Mode option when booting into recovery. Your help, effort and time will be appreciated
Try again your steps and using odin both times make sure reboot is not ticked. After the flash pull the battery. There is a remark about that somewhere.
I had the same problem with my n9100 and at the end flashed custom rom to solve this. But my phone is slightly different to yours.
Thanks a mil, however I did manage to fix the issue and still wanted to resolve this post. I downloaded SuperU Beta 2.74 and different version of CWM. Installed CWM 6.0.5.1 (1113).tar with Odin 3.10.7 and it worked installing CWM Recovery. Then installed the SuperU 2.74 with CWM and everything works great. Phone now rooted and CWM installed :good::victory::victory:

I have the n9100 as well with the hong kong rom. I'm having the same problem while trying to root with cf-autoroot. I really want to root the phone while keeping the stock rom.
Is there any way to do so??
I have Note 4 model N910H firmware 5.1.1 and I rooted it using chainfire method. I checked using root checker and it says my phone was rooted properly. So I install TWRP latest recovery using flashify. The phone rebooted to recovery mode fine but it says that my phone not rooted so I'm confused and I let TWRP rooted it again. After that I reboot to system and I can't enter it instead it was stuck looping samsung and android logo.
So, what can I do? I can enter TWRP recovery and download mode. I know I can flash it to stock 5.1.1 but I dont know what version to use from SamMobile (XID/XSE, I'm from Indonesia) and there's different PDA/CSC version. So if I just pick one of them and flash it to my phone will it be okay? I want to avoid flashing to be honest because the rom size is so big so is there's a way to fix it without flashing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
