Hello,
I have a Galaxy S5 G900F and when I try to flash a custom recovery on my phone via Odin I always get the fail logo.
I tried CWM and TWRP tried different guides with no success. I get a message of my phone screen "secure check fail : recovery".
What can I do to successfully Install a custom recovery? please help.
Thank you.
Grab TWRP 2.8.7.0 build and ODIN 3.10.6 and flash that

Didn't help.
still same problem.
After reading through a couple more forums I found that it was the Samsung Reactivation Lock that was blocking me. Upon booting the phone, going into Apps > Setttings > Security and then typing in my samsung account password I was able to disable the lock and then Download mode allowed me to root everything successfully.

Try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN 3.10.6, then flash SuperSU zip from inside TWRP
I can confirm this works. Also, you might want to try "Android Toolkit".

Hi everyone
This is my second s5. I managed to root the first one using cf autoroot and twrp recovery.
However this new phone runs lollipop and I cannot flash either cf autoroot or twrp recovery. I used odin and the flash completes with PASS message. However when I try to reboot to recovery I just get RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING message then the screen goes blank.
I have tried downgrading to kitkat but I am still getting the same message.
Has anyone got an idea of what is going on here?
Thanks
Jeff
Try flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 with ODIN if you haven't tried that version yet, seems to work for some people with the same problem
Try different ODIN versions too, 3.07 > 3.10.7
Brilliant!! I flashed with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and it works.
Thank you so much. Jeff
Nice one
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
I am a new member and I don't know where to post this on the forum and I am unable to send this via the contact link at XDA... I apologize. Kindly guide...
Hi..
Subject: Installing the custom recovery and latest cyanogenmod on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900.
A few details :
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 running on stock rom Android version 4.4.2 and the build Number is N900XXUDND1. It is an Indian version.
I rooted my phone via Odin cfautoroot successfully but was not unable to load custom recovery cwm since the phone would go blank and stuck in boot loop.
I had to reinstall the stock firmware 4.4.2 via odin but could not install custom recovery via Odin and again stuck in boot loop . I reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 and tried installing custom recovery via flashify me app but again the phone went blank although I could go to download mode but stuck in boot loop.
I again reinstalled firmware 4.4.2 via odin but later I could not even root my phone via Odin!!..so I rooted my phone via king root app successfully and then changed it to supersu me root successfully without a problem.
Now the problem is I want to load custom recovery in order to load Cyanogenmod.
I tried installing cwm recovery via the clockworkmod app but it does not recognize my device officially.
I tried installing custom recovery via twrp app but getting error there also.
Now this is the info I see when I am in download mode:
ODIN MODE.
PRODUCT NAME: SM-N900.
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official.
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom.
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1
RP SWREV: A4
Is the bootloader locked in my device? Is this the reason I am unable to load custom recovery? I don't even know how to check the present status lock/unlock status of bootloader
I want to load custom recovery(cwm or twrp) and load the latest cyanogenmod at the earliest and I would appreciate if I can get step by step details of doing so.
Is it possible to do this without using a computer?...
Thanking you...
You do not need to root the phone before installing a custom ROM. You can install a custom recovery using Odin.

i tried your method and decided to see if it was working properly and i followed the instruction for rooted devices in https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-boot-to-recovery/
Not only it did'nt work now my phone is just displaying the samsung galaxy s4 logo with words on the top left corner that says
recovery booting. . . .
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit : recovery
i just also checked the twrp manager app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
it shows "custom recovery not installed or not detected"
How did you flash TWRP? You confirmed that the model # of the phone is sgh-i337m?
I could never get the fastboot instructions in the original post to work since all Samsung phones (non-Google Play versions) I have used did not support fastboot commands.

I downloaded the .tar file from the team win website for the samsung galaxy s4 canada and i opened odin .
switched off my phone , put it in download mode (volume down+power+ home ,pressed volume up again for confirmation)
connected to computer , odin shows added , clicked AP selected the .tar file and clicked start without making any changes in the options tab . Phone restarts
Flashing TWRP with Odin on a phone running a stock ROM will replace the stock recovery; however, if auto reboot is selected in Odin, rebooting the phone after flashing TWRP will cause the stock recovery or overwrite TWRP and this is one reason some people uncheck auto reboot.
I suggest starting over by flashing the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com with Odin 3.07.

I have just flashed my phone with stock rom from sammobile , after that i put into download mode again and did'nt select the autoreboot . when it was completed i tried going into recovery mode without switching on my phone so i removed the battery and placed it again and pressed volume up+power+home and i still got the same things that showed up before .
Did you try flashing different versions of TWRP? I suggest starting with 2.87. You can then use TWRP itself to flash newer zip versions.
