[Q] Recovery/Kernel not sea;ndroid enforcing message - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, any input on this would be appreciated.
I'll note up front that I do NOT have a bootloop issue. I have a SM-G900M (running 4.4.2) that I used CF-Auto-Root via Odin to gain root access. After that I installed TWRP through the Google Play store and flashed recovery through the app. Now, when I boot into recovery, there is a message under the blue "Recovery Booting" text that reads "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and then "warranty bit: recovery" under that. Then it continues to boot into recovery normally.
I can see that some people were having this message appear in a boot loop, but I can boot into Android just fine.
On top of this, after flashing CM12 via TWRP, I got the same message during normal boot except that it says "kernel is not seandroid enforcing, warranty bit: kernel".
If I use TWRP backup to restore the stock nandroid, the kernel message goes away. Also, if I re-run CF-Auto-root as a means to restore stock recovery the message during recovery boot also goes away.
What do these messages mean? Have I done anything wrong? Is there a way to get rid of them?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

It means you have a custom recovery/kernel, nothing more.

[Q] CF-AUTO-ROOT can't boot

After using CF-Auto-Root, I can't boot my phone. It stucks on the boot screen and it says
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I'm going to have to try and restore to stock ROM. What went wrong?
SM-G900F on 5.0. I doubled checked that I used the correct version.
UPDATE: Just flashed stock ROM, haven't lost any data. Phone seems fine, not rooted of course.
Please tell me how to fix this so I can root for real.

I left my phone alone for about 15 minutes, nothing happened.
Tried forcing it off and manually going into recovery, left it for a while. nothing again.
Also reflashed cf-auto-root and tried them both again, nothing worked?
Also, that screen cf-auto-root is suppose to say saying doing this, doing that rebooting now or whatever doesn't show. Because after Odin finishes it won't boot and recovery mode won't work.

Strange issue with recovery

Hi,
I'm going crazy trying to root my new S5.
First thing I tried was CF-autoroot for SM-G900F kltedx. When the phone rebooted into recovery mode, there was samsung logo with a warning "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". It prevented any further action (including opening recovery menus). Everytime I tried to reboot, the phone displayed the same warning, making impossible to correctly boot the device.
I retook control of the phone by flashing the philz recovery. The phone rebooted normally, but without root (and without accessible recovery!).
Then I tried cwm, philz, twrp but none of them worked (same seandroid warning). Only stock recovery correctly flashes and boots.
What is the problem? I'm quite desperate at the moment
Thaks a lot for your help
P.S. = reactivation lock is off
hi, nobody has the answer? i'm quite desperate now :crying:

Q: Kernel/Recovery not Seandroid Enforcing?

I flashed twrp and a new kernel, and everytime I boot up my phone it says on the the top left of the screen "Kernel Not Seandroid Enforcing" is this normal? But I can use my phone properly and its running well though..
TiA
Yea. It because of new bootloader.
its normal, Its displaying that because you have a changed bootloader/recovery .... if u flash stock firmware with odin it will be gone.

[G530W] Recovery is not seandroid enforcing; Set Warranty Bit: kernel

Got the phone recently. Here's what I did with it so far besides all the automatic updates:
1. Unlocked sim
2. Rooted using Kingroot after OEM unlocking
3. Installed TWRP using Odin
OS: 5.1.1
TWRP 2.8.7.0
Somewhere in there something went wrong, and I'm getting the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing; Set Warranty Bit: kernel" error message on boot screen. Also, every time I reboot the device, it keeps booting to TWRP.
Please help.

I think it is Normal when you flash TWRP recovery....every time pyou reboot it will boot you to recovery mode then reboot again......The Seandroid enforcing is normal when u have a other recovery than stock recovery
