When flashing new rom, stock at boot screen - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey,
So I recently acquired a S4 i337m Fido (running 4.3, I1337MVLUEMK6). I tried to root and put TWRP via Odin, didn't end up working (not sure what I did wrong), but managed to root via auto-root and flashed TWRP via Goo Manager.
I have tried twice to put a custom room on, HyperDrive and Paranoid android. I created a nandbackup, then full wiped, and flashed the roms then Gapps and rebooted. Both times, they got stuck on the boot animation (just showing the Samsung Galaxy S4 Logo), with the top left corner saying something about my recovery (when flashed HyperDrive), and something about my kernel when I tried to flash PA. Also, I couldn't get to TWRP on my first 2 tries when flashing HyperDrive (to restore), but got it on my first try with PA.
Any ideas why I am having trouble flashing custom roms?
So what it says on the boot screen logo at top left is:
1. RECOVERY BOOTING (in blue),
2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red)
3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow)
Cheers, and thanks

You need to read a lot more. You can only use safestrap right now. Odin back to MF3 and install safestrap after rooting. Only touchwiz roms using stock kernel will work for you.

Hey, Thanks for answering. So I have to re flags firmware, and re root, with safestrap correct? After that only tw bases roms with stock kernels will work, or as of right now (current situation) only tw and stock kernels will work?

It appears the first one you flashed Hyperdrive is for ATT at model number is i337 your model is i337m not the same thing.... If it was my phone I would wait for azuziel to reply in the other thread or pm him directly.... you can't use i337 firmware on your phone.... you had and hope still have an unlocked bootloader... this means you don't need safety strap.... talk to azuziel before you get too flash happy.... could save you lots of headaches.....

Your issue is in my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T525) li (kely. I do is just keep it in low battery state. (Even if you press the power button it wont boot. Dont Charge it!)
And connect it on computer. You will see the only logo of you samsung brand. That is second to the last step. The last step is go it on download mode. By pressing Volume Down+Home Button+Power Button. And click volume up. Now download odin and install the compatible version of TWRP for your phone. And now wait. You will see in odin a Reset *Blue* on top corner of the app that is a good sign. Now if you see a Pass *Green* on the top corner of the app. Your ready to go! It will boot in Normal State!

[Q] Kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit: Kernel - Boot loop ?

Hi guys,
Yesterday I updated to the new N9005XXUENA6 Leaked KitKat 4.4.2. Didn't really think much of it and finally decided to root the phone.
I rooted the phone with CF-Auto-Root thanks to chainfire. Anyway after that I installed CWM recovery as TWRP haven't really updated it since the new update for note 3.
Now i can get to the CWM recovery and after installing any rom
I tried
1. [JAN-13][hlte][1.2.4] AOSB Project (ProBAM ROM) - The End of The Line ! and then
2. [CM11][4.4.2][N9005][ROM][KERNEL][JAN13] temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V33
However, in both cases I get an error:
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel
and keeps on boot looping.
I can get into download and recovery but cannot install any custom ROM's.
After a bit of looking around and what i gathered from similar questions,I tried installing a couple of kernels but still its a no go!.
Is it as a result of the new N9005XXUENA6 update? or me doing something idiotic?
P.S: Tried wiping data / factory reset, format partition / system, etc. Cannot find fix permissions in the new CWM however and cannot use TWRP as it just doesn't boot up into the recovery.
Thanks in advance.

Based on what I read so far regarding the 4.4.2 update, if you flashed it on your device, there seems to be no way to go back to 4.3 ( I'm not sure if that means custom roms based on 4.3 as well ). Best thing to do is just flash the official 4.4.2 and hang in there until custom roms based on 4.4.2 comes out or people find a way to go back to 4.3. The reason the file from firasusman didn't work is probably because there might be difference in how kit kat deals with efs compared to jellybeans which it was written for in the first place.

Yip you won't be able to go to a lower bootloader than you are on with KK, CM based ROMs are currently running (MJ7) _ will have to wait until the new bootloader is implemented into new(er) builds.

Before you did this was your 4.4.2 on KitKat working well? Or did you come from 4.3? If you came from a correctly installed 4.4.2 then do go to this thread and start from STEP 8

This is CWM recovery and not TWRP. I dont have experience with TWRP.

I'm assuming you're on 4.3, you have to use this in pda/ap on odin. After flashing phone will restart with android and texts in color. After that it will reboot again to system and you will have root. SEandroid Enforcing is normal if you're rooting you're device. Have you checked with root checker if you have root? Also, once you root your device you will have to flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp to be able to boot to those recovery.

First you will have to update to stock 4.4.2 then you can flash any 4.4.2 roms.

The rom you flashed is based on android 4.3, if the phone you bought already have 4.4 then that is probably the cause of the loop. Flash another rom based on 4.4 or download stock firmware from sammobile and flash using odin.

[Q] Won't boot past the Galaxy S4 screen!

First of all I just want to say I am very new to the world of rooting and custom roms. I recently got bored of the original layout of my S4 and decided to root my phone and find a custom Rom. I rooted my phone and through Twrp I flashed android Kitkat 4.4.2 from AOKP. It seems that I either messed something up or the particular rom I downloaded doesn't work right. More than likely the first one. It ran okay for a minute or two then it started freezing and rebooting itself. I thought I would just go back to stock and restore from the backup I created but when I tried it said failed. I did some research and found a stock rom through Odin and tried to just revert back that way. That failed too and now my phone is stuck at the Galaxy S4 screen and at the top left it says kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Set warranty bit: kernal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I miss my phone! Lol. I apologize if any of my terminology is off also!
Sounds like the odin file you got was 4.2 and I'm guessing you were already stock 4.3. Find a mk2 4.3 Odin file and give that a shot.
Here's a link to a thread where you can get the files I mentioned.

Okay I'll give that a shot. As a side note when I tried to restore my back up TWRP displayed a messaged saying that it appeared that my phone wasn't rooted. Slide to install now. Dunno if that makes a difference or not. I know for sure it was rooted unless the root check I did was wrong.. Lol
I myself use cwm so I'm not that familiar with twrp but I'm pretty sure the link I gave You is for stock unrooted so you'll have to reroot

Sacs 4.3 v5 ultra issues
I was running Sac's Custom ROM 4.3 v 4.4 and tried to update to the most recent version 5.5 Ultra. I download the ROM copied to SD Card. Using Philz recovery (devs preference) to wipe cache/davlic/factory reset etc...reboot into recovery...installed ROM. The phone will not get past boot screen. I can't post on the devs page because i am too new to the forum. Can you help me out here?
I plugged to phone into the charger when it was off last night and noticed that at first it had the stock S4 battey life indicator but after a second it changed to the android 4.4.2 one. Is there any way im stuck between 2 roms or anything like that?
I got it! Downloaded the stock firmware and flashed it through Odin! I'll re root it but I probably won't try a custom rom again for a while.. haha.
I've tried that same rom as you akop and it had an error with PhilZ.
I know with sacs it can be a little tricky with the multiple wipes and rebooting to recovery for more wipes but aosp custom ROMs Dont have near the steps. Just wipe data/cache/dalvic and format system then flash ROM and gapps and your good to go!

You installed a 4.3 recovery on a 4.4 phone.
Most likely you downloaded the TWRP on the main page and did not download the latest 4.4 compatible one.
Please flash this in Download Mode: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hlte-recovery.img.tar
To get into Download Mode, remove the battery, wait a few minutes then put it back, Hold the Download Mode Combination then it would boot directly into Download Mode.
hey nicho, thank you very much
so that was the trick. REMOVE THE BATTERY --> PRESS THE DOWNLOAD KEYS AND HOLD THEM --> THEN ENTER THE BATTERY BACK.
it costed me the whole day yesterday searching for a solution.
at least now I can continue to install a new rom
Thanks man
TWRP
during twrp it told me, there was a newer one. 2.x.x.9
so stupid me, if I had sticked to the plan, nothing would happend.
I used twrp b4 some days ago, for my samsung note 10.1 (2014) without trubbles,
I guess, I overread something

Solution To Loop SM-N900P
I am new to XDA and have only been with android for 6 months but i figure this will help new comers to this issue. Power+Volume Down+Home at the same time to enter download mode. Flash CWM via ODIN. This should work to fix the loop. I found out the hard way but it only took me an hour. I am not sure if this will work if you have not already rooted your phone but it should (since this is the major step in rooting). I believe i deleted my CWM file (accidentally) when i was trying to clear space for my recovery with ROM Manager. Be sure to download the Samsung drivers if you had not already done so during the rooting process.
Hope this helps.
Gives me same error message
But after that it boots into recovery.
Should I proceed installing custom rom or is there anything else to be taken care of
Thanks!
Thank you very much,you save me a lot of trouble.

The way I did this is, first install the cwm recovery then flash cf-root after. You can always use odin to flash back the original firmware.

Just make sure reactivation lock is off.
When you first start odin, F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are ticked off so let them be and make sure only those are checked and nothing else.
You probably know this but just to make sure, load the recovery on the AP slot before hitting start.

[Q] Custom Recovery Problems

I have an ATT galaxy s4 rooted with Towelroot. I've tried using GooManager to install TWRP but all it did was prevent me from booting into the recovery, I was able to get out of the loop by holding volume down and the home button and then hitting volume down to cancel going into download mode. Next I tried using Rom Manager to install CWM but the same thing happened. Now I can no longer boot into recovery, it just fails and goes into download mode. My question is should I just flash the stock recovery or is there a way to get a custom recovery?

Since you are on the NC1 firmware the only recovery software you can use is Safestrap 3.72. You can read more about safestrap in here.

Thanks for the quick reply. I installed Safestrap 3.72 then hit Install Recovery, however the state still says Not Installed, also Reboot to Recovery option is greyed out. I tried going into the recovery manually with the same result as the previous 2.
You need to change selinux mode to permissive. The. Safestrap will be able to install recovery

Sorry for the noob question but I am completely new to this, how exactly do I go about changing the selinux mode to permissive?
Ok, so I used SELinuxModeChanger to change selinux to permissive, and safestrap now installed. Now when I use the button combination Volume Up, Home and Power, it still does the same thing. If I allow it to boot normally I get a red message saying Safestrap Disabled starting system in 10 seconds, then 2 options at the bottom for booting into recovery and to continue. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
That's perfectly normal.
Due to the locked boot loader, we cannot replace the stock recovery. Safestrap works around this by being available in normal boot mode.
Safe strap originally supported ROM slots (multi boot) and would show enabled when one of the ROM slots was selected. We can only use the stock slot, so don't worry about the disabled part.

Thanks for the reply and clearing that up. However I would like to know if there is any way to get back the stock recovery? It is a bit annoying that every time my phone turns off that it gets stuck in a little loop. Also this error message shows up on my phone and if anyone opens it, it immediately goes back into the loop. My mother loves playing with my phone a lot so I can see future problems coming. Anyway for me to flash the stock recovery back on?
You can uninstall recovery from the safestrap app

I did that but I am still not able to boot into the stock recovery, it just keeps getting stuck in the loop.

Check the NB1 ODIN thread and see if there's a link to just the recovery. If not you'll have to extract and flash it from the full tar with heimdall or package it in a zip or use an app or something.

When searching the forums I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52167761. It seems like the correct stock recovery. So I just download this, go into Odin, put my phone into download mode, then what? I've never used odin before but I assume that I would need to point it to the file but not exactly sure under which slot or which options to be checked.

Never flashed it before, but the op says to put it in the PDA slot. Just have auto robot and f.rest checked. Do not have partition checked

Thanks everyone. My stock recovery is up and running again and I also now have safestrap as well. That stock recovery file worked just fine, I just had to put it under AP for odin 3.09.

Can't Root & Install CWM Recovery on Samsung Note 4

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??
