i9505 : Kernel Is Not Seandroid Enforcing

Hi All,
I acquired an S4 i9505 device (Live Demo Unit) and have installed a new motherboard in it as I wanted cell phone functionality etc.
Initially worked fine, but the device detected the firmware for the camera needed updating, did this and have had problems since.
First, I started getting Kernal Panic errors on startup and the device would hang on these.
After a number of attempts using Odin and various ROMS from sammobile, I am now out of options.
I am unable to get into the Android System Recovery menu (Power-Home=Vol Up) but the device hangs with these lines:
"Recovery Booting (In Blue)
Kernel Is Not Seandroid Enforcing (In Red)
Set Warranty Bit : Recovery" (In Yellow)"
Any advice welcome.

You get those lines if you have rooted/ installed custom recovery, and that's as much as I know. Good luck.

I'd re-install the stock firmware mate. start it from scratch rather than trying any custom roms etc. hope you get it sorted. nothing worse than having the phone and it not booting.

Galaxy Note 3 first time rooter
Hi everyone, newcomer here. Thanks for providing this community to help people out and thanks to Chainfire for making CF-Auto-Root.
I have a Galaxy Note 3, and I've never rooted before because I really like Touchwiz and the useful features it provides. I've read the main post for CF-Auto-Root, so I understand this is supposed to be the easiest root method that's supposed to retain stock Touchwiz and nothing more.
Before I take the plunge, I just wanted to clarify my understanding to make sure I really do want to go ahead with rooting my Note.
1. When you say CF auto root is rooting my phone, does that mean it's just achieving a "state of being" with the phone, and not really installing or modifying anything else with Touchwiz (besides SuperSU)? As in, everything is the same as before, Touchwiz is the same as before, and the only thing different is that I've gained permission to access more things in the software?
2. My understanding is that I shouldn't lose any data, apps, home screen app layouts, etc?
3. Will I lose any functionality in Touchwiz? Like S-Pen features, Samsung apps, etc?
4. If I receive an update to 4.4.4 or 5.0, will I lose this cf-auto-root state?
Thanks everyone for helping out!

CF-Auto-Root flashes custom recovery, which installs the su binary and SuperSU application and then sets back the default stock recovery. Everything else remains unchanged, including TouchWiz.

You lose KNOX and all features related to it.

Most likely, though there is a chance, that su binary will not be removed, in that case you keep the root.

Hi, I have a Note 3 model number SM-N9005 which is factory unlocked with no carrier on 4.4.2 in the UK.
I'm trying to root using the CF auto root thread instructions here

I am unsure what file to download and was wondering if this one would work with my phone?
It is the second download option listed in the third post of the CF auto root thread.

Yes it is. That download is for Note 3 with Device Type = hlte and Product Name = hltexx.
Just to make sure, as the download is based on Device Type and Product Name, check these info for your device with this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (in GENERAL INFO section).

Noob question
*edit* I didn't see the older question asking the same thing sorry you can ignore this
Hello everyone I am new to rooting phones and I was looking into CF-Auto Root since it is said to be beginner friendly. I was wondering if using this method would wipe my phone of everything I had on it or would it just give me root access while leaving everything else on the phone the same.

I know XDA is a reputable site, so I don't have to worry as much, but I know that theoretically speaking, downloading things outside of the official Android app store poses a risk for being malware or spyware.
So I'm only asking this in the spirit of just practicing utmost caution, how would I know that the CF-Auto-Root file, which can be found through the link below, is genuine and untampered with?

On your website with all the downloads for the CF-auto-root there is not an option for SM-N900V (Verizon) phones. Is this one that has not been tested yet?

Like I said earlier, download your firmware from samfirmware, flash it with odin. It's easy as pie and you won't lose your warranty cause it's official firmware, if that's what you're worried about.

Sorry for a late reply,
from the top of my head: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969
That's for SGS3 but everything goes exactly the same for Note 3. As for the firmware files you need to register an account at samfirmware (just type it in google) and search for your model and download the package. Unzip it, inside there are two files, just ignore the small one and extract the other. Flash it accordingly to the tutorial from the link above.
EDIT: Read the tutorial and make sure you understand it before flashing! This if done incorrectly may brick your device.
Don't worry, first times always hurts;P

For years android user. I have encountered with the same problem for the first time. I've newly upgraded to lollipop 5.1.1 from 5.0.1 note 4 910c . Using xposed and rooted. Installed talexop_Kernel_N910C_5.1.1_C0I4_v1.05 kernel.
I know the problem is kernel or xposed or root but I dont know where it is exactly. I tired to install firmware and root and xposed more than 50 times for week. Dont want to try the same things from the beginning.
Waiting à working solution.
I found out something new. Here in my country the phone number format is like this 0543 455 4455. If I remove 0 from the beginning of any number and save it to the contacts the message can be sent. Otherwise not. But without 0, numbers are invalid here. What does this show? Any idea?
By the way I use note 4 910cq turkey official firmware but its the same as 910c. If you suggest to try any firmware and kernel for rooting I would be thankful.
Lastly, in some pages when they write how to root they are talking about bootloader to flash it. Is it necessary. I myself first install firmware through odin then install n910c-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1 and from phone flash SpaceX-Kernel-v0.2_N910C(Dev) or talexop_Kernel_N910C_5.1.1_C0I4_v1.05 then flash xposed as I do with kernel. I think this is the right way?

The wanam has some weird problem that causes this bug ... Even after uninstalling wanan the bug remains, because it changes the feature.xml file.
To fix this use a root explorer, I used ES File Explorer.
1 - Browse and open the file feature.xml
2 - In line <CscFeature_Message_MaxRecipientLenghtAs>10< change the value from 10 to 99

Having trouble with Heimdall

Greetings!
I am trying to revert my Samsung Galaxy S5 back to Lollipop from Marshmallow. I don't have a PC but a Macbook Pro so I can't use ODIN. Instead I have downloaded Heimdall. I have downloaded several different versions of the Lollipop stock ROM but the Heimdall GUI is not recognizing them.
I *really* need to revert this back to Lollipop so I can use towelroot to get rid of all the crap Verizon bloatware that is eating my memory and making my phone unusable.
Any help would be so so so appreciated, thank you!

Hi,
It is good that you are asking for help but first of all in order to get helped you should provide basic info as:
1. Your phone model (label inside the phone)
2. Current firmware (bootloader, PDA, CSC etc)
It seems you have Verizon version of s5. In this case there is dedicated Verizon S5 Forum for your specific phone where potentially you can get more reliable help as xda members there posses these phone:

It seems the issue is Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom package when I click the button that is supposed to load it from the relevant folder...

Ok, so...now what do I do? The GUI in Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom files in order to load them into the program...
It has been entirely frustrating...I have done research on my own finding all of the step by steps...but at every step there seems to be some issue or roadblock...why can't it just be straightforward, arg!

Hi again,
I never used Heimdall for my phone (always odin) nor have your phone model (my is g900f) so can't reproduce your problem. Maybe the others here can?
If not do as I recommended to you in my previous post -> ask this question on the s5 Verizon dedicated forum.
Edit: ok I see that you already posted there and forum moderator closed your thread. Do as he recommended to move this thread to Verizon s5 forum.

How do I move the whole thread to a new forum? I tried to start a new one as requested and it got locked.
