When i boot in to Recovery i get this message. Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I dont belive its something i shuld be worried about but just to be on the safe site. i will like some kind on confamation on this.

Thanks in advanced

1. On what ROM are you?
2. What's stopping you from flashing via odin/heimdall?

If it only appears when u boot in recovery is the normal coz u changed the STOCK recovery for this custom one. If u flash other KERNEL the logo appears when u boot the phone. Anyway now u can flash KERNEL/ROM that u prefer
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing Knox set to 0x1
Hi guys, Just had the same messages on booting : KERNEL/RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and Knox set to 0x1
First, DO NOT FLASH OLDER ANDROID VERSION (4.2.2 / 4.1.2) OVER THE ANDROID 4.3 UPDATE
If ever its done already and you need to Unbrick your samsung device, read the following post to restore :
Just had the same messages on booting : KERNEL/RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and Knox set to 0x1
just after I flashed 4.2.2 based Custom Rom using an OTG cable/FlashDrive over Android 4.3 Stock and/or Custom Roms.
I had these at boot in red and yellow : Warranty void and Knox set to 0x1. But in About device, Android version went from 4.3 to 4.2.2 then i tryied some different custom kernels but nothing to do, wifi keeps crashing plus i had these bootup messages. I did FULLY wipe/restore the device to stock android 4.3 on my SGH-I337M phone using odinv3.09 and I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_I337MVLUEMK6_HOME.tar.md5
file and it worked after something like the 3rd try, why the importance to FULLY wipe system, data, dalvik cache, cache using a custom Recovery before starting the restore
I dont recommend to flash older android version over The update 4.3. It was such a waste of time to restore it!
Just saying, if you guys had the same issue, your phone ISNT bricked, It took me around 15 hours to find and download Odin and Samsung stock 4.3 firmware plus ReRoot and flash it with odin... ive used my OTG cable to flash kernels or to restore from backups and now, my phone
is FIXED :good:
Just got a Galaxy S4 i9505 rotted it with Kingo Root, installed rashr went to flash something and it installed a recovery and now I get Recovery is not seandroid enforcing, but researched it up and used odin to get past that, but now everytime i try to get into recovery I get that error again.
How can I reflash a recovery that works? I have tried re-rooting again but nothing.
Now it just doenst seem to start just shows the Samgung logo and does nothing.
What exactly are you saying? That you can't boot into recovery?
Rooting has nothing to do with a recovery.
Install TWRP recovery with Odin.
You could also try flashing a bootloader or the stock rom again to make your phone boot. And root properly with CF Auto Root
I meant it like the root program I used that installed the original recovery, I have tried TWRP with odin but it says it is done but still wont boot or go into recovery
How owuld I flash the stock rom?
Was meant to click edit not double post sorry
You have to untick "Auto reboot" in odin. After twrp flashed turn off the phone and use the key combination to boot into recovery.
I think i flashed an older version of twrp cant find a link to a jar for 5.0.1
Ok i managed to get twrp working, but it still alwayss just shows the Samsung logo
Just to clarify one thing here for the audience, "Recovery is not SEAndroid Enforcing" is not an error. All custom recovery images are set to permissive mode to enable them to perform their magic. Since this is a hole in the device's security, the bootloader displays that message to let you know this. A similar message is displayed when a custom kernel is installed, except in that case the message is "Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing". Since this is an expected message, the only way to properly get rid of it is to not install a custom recovery or, in the case of the kernel warning, a custom kernel.
@Apexpredator12, with your S4 in its current state, you should flash your stock ROM via Odin and make sure your device is totally operational. After that, use Odin to install CF-Autoroot. DO NOT USE KINGOROOT! With CF-Autoroot you will have your S4 rooted. From there, if you wish you can install a custom recovery, though with the caveat that installing a custom recovery will result in a "Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing" message. As mentioned above, this is a normal message and not an error.
Ok thank you, where can I get a stock rom for the i505 only seeing custom ones
I am just so foncused I am used to the SP that was quite easy to do, the version I have is 5.0.1 the stocks I have found are 4.4 etc and just not sure what ones to use without bricking my phone again
If you have a 5.0.1 stock ROM, you can use that. If you really need earlier ROMs, you can get them from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com.
Yeah I was looking but they seem to be .img files which I cant seem to flash with odin
sammobile.com packages the .tar.md5 files in a zip. I don't know about samsung-updates.com, but its img files should be installable via Odin.
Currently sammobile.com is having server issues, but there should be a thread on XDA where you can also download ROMs.

You are extracting to much. You can't flash .img with Odin as far as I know. You need to flash the archive in which the .img is packed.

EDIT: managed to fix the twrp thanks allot for your help much appreciated.
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:
******** Resolved ************

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 a N910T which I've flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0 to via odin.
I can get into recovery fine and install roms, they all seem to extract and install correctly but I get put into a bootloop upon reboot.
I do get;
"KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
"SET WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL"
but from reading that doesn't matter much, generally.
I'm really stuck at the moment. I've tried the various Aroma based installers for a few roms and all do the same.
Flashing stock via odin works fine though, so I know the phone itself is good.
Any ideas what could be causing the bootloops?
