Please Help Very Frustrated.

hello guys,
i bought a used galaxy s5 from someone running Poland Android lollipop 5.0 and it shows the model as SM-G900F When i try to root it with CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltedx-smg900f It gets stuck on the boot screen saying
"1. RECOVERY BOOTING (in blue),
2. RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red)
3. Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow)"
i googled alot and flashed Phillz recovery which removed the error above but when i go to recovery its the stock recovery? .... I cant install twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img.tar Either because after flashing it when i go to recovery its stock recovery again. Activation lock is off, SE for Android status is "enforing" does this mean this phone has a locked bootloader? Maybe this phone was on At&T, Sprint or Verizon and the last owner flashed 900f firmware on it to make it look carrier free but it maybe a carrier phoone? Please help me i am very very frustrated right now. i dont even know what recovery is seandroid enforcing means.....:crying::crying::crying:

Ok guys, try this.
1. Download philz kernel that matches your modem number. I think philz_touch_6.26.6-klte.tar.md5 works good.
2. Put it in ODIN on PDA/AP
3. Uncheck "Auto Reboot" and make sure Re-Partition is NOT CHECKED (keep F. Reset time)
4. Flash
5. It will say RESET on Odin and nothing further when it is done so just wait 2-3 minutes when RESET appears to be entirely sure that the procedure is done.
6. Pull out phones battery.
7. Put it back in and now go into Recovery directly (Vol up+home+power)
8. ???
9. Profit
Hopefully this might work, i think i did the same

You need to just boot into download mode (voldown+home+power) then push volup to enter download mode
Use Odin to flash trwp 2.8.6.0 tar file in AP spot
Download a pre rooted rom of your choice for g900f
Place on sd card
Reboot to twrp by holding volup+home+power immediately during start of boot
Flash the rom you just downloaded
Now you'll be rooted
(That's what I did in order to get my phone rooted after installing the newest stock lollipop ota)

Common bro
u haven't rooted your device,
u have to flash the supersu zip to get the root access
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
first download this file and place it in your device storage,once u pull the battry off and put it back in go straightly to the recovery
select install zip and flash the supersu.zip
then reboot it,after the first boot then go to the recovery and
install your custom rom

I followed instructions given earlier to install philz recovery, i opened it by booting into it immediately i selected format for new rom install. after that i am stuck on samsung logo i think the old rom is now deleted. Now i am downloading fresh 5.0.2 UK from sammobile i will download it and try to root it normally with flashing CF ROOT via odin. if it does not work then i will do what u guys said. I dont know if TWRP will work by the same method (booting immediately into recovery) but philz recovery did. And i will also try flashing a prerooted Rom. What i dont understand is that why is this happening in the first place? i had an alpha before i could enter into TWRP normally i rooted it with CF AUTO root normally...no errors or anything why is this happening on my S5? the last owner must have done something weird with it ...i am trying to figure out why is this happening in the first place. Appreciate ur feedback.

I also dont know why this is happening
and yeah
i had all the galaxy S series upto S5 and this the only device that is not rooting with CF-auto root
the latest updates from samsung may have done something i dnt knw
and eralier mentioned method worked 100% for me and i did root my device like that
And last owner may b or may not done anything with it because my device is a brand new and still i had that issue

[Q] Give me some help please.

Hi , i'm new in "android things" and i've got a Samsung S4 (GT-I9505) running on last firmware update in Romania (Android 5.0.1) NO ROOTED , WITH STOCK RECOVERY.
I've readed and watched a lot of vids to learn how to root , to change rom , recovery etc so i tried to change my recovery by myself but it just doesn't do anything , i used odin 3.0.9 on win 8.1 , i get the samsung drivers and i tried to install twrp recovery 2.8.6.0 : I get into download mode , plugged the usb , i've go into odin and then selected the ap and start AFTER ALL OF THIS WORK odin loads everthing in ~ 5 secs i didn't touched anything untill i get the green signal and now when i try to open recovery give me the same sick custom recovery. I did the same opernation 3 times and everytime i get the same result . (i've tried with odin 3.10 and cwm recovery too)
When i tried too root with kingoo root , the program gets stucked to 44%.
Tell me what to do to get my root and a custom recovery PLEASE.
In final i apologize for my pretty bad english .

Unable to install custom recovery and flash custom roms on rooted note 3 lte

I am on a UK (vodafone) phone 4.4.2 KK and after rooting with odin and tripping knox (obviously) i installed CWM And TWRP and entered recovery but only after a long time i discovered that the recovery mode i was entering was stock .
In the recovery mode i couldnt find the option to install from zip only the option to install from external storage.
I have downloaded the CM 11 4.4.4 and put it on the external sd card.
In the recovery mode i navigated to the location of the CM 11 zip and attempted to flash it .
It goes through the process and at the end it says something like installation successful but the the phone boots into the normal stock firmware.
After reading a ton of material and articles i have discovered that my bootloader may be locked and this is the reason i cannot install CWM and flash custom roms.
In the end i have 3 questions.
Is there curently a solution to install CWM and flash custom roms on phones with locked bootloders ?
Will i be able to update to lollipop via Kies when is released ?
Will i be able to return my phone to its original state so that the lollipop update when it is released wont detect that the phone has been modified ?
Basically i am stuck. I have a rooted phone with void warranty and unable to install roms because the bootloder is locked ??????
I would really apreciate some help because i have run out of options and the frustration has reached stratospheric levels.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You rooted with ODIN and installed both CWM and TWRP .Thats all wrong odin is not root and you don't flash two recovery s .
You say your bootloader is locked = what model phone do you have .
Its reading as fail read the very basics .
Start at the beginning at for that you need to know what model number you have . You then find the correct root for your model and flash a recovery either CWM or TWRP not both .

I did not flash both.
I only installed both and tried to flash either.When i saw that i couldn flash one i tried the other one.
My phone model number is SM-9005 ..
The root file i used was CF-Auto-Root for SM-N9005 .

Untick auto reboot in Odin when you flash recovery then boot to recovery using three button combo stock ROM rewrites stock recovery when it boots iirc
