with the cf recovery, after flash, the only way to make the phone working again is to flash G900F_BTU_G900FXXU1BOH4_G900FOXA1BOH4_Original

Installing CWM

Hi all, I am having great difficulties installing CWM recovery on my i9507 after I rooted my device with CF AUTO ROOT.
First I used this guide but got stuck with the .dll error when trying to run Heimdall. Even after I installed Visual Studio many times!
Next I tried flashing with Odin but only got a seandroid not enforcing error every time I did. I can still run my phone fine and my Knox warranty has still not been tripped.
I hope someone can help!

Just flash it with Odin and uncheck auto-reboot before flashing.

Maybe try it with one from here https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltezm/
Download md5.tar file and uncheck auto reboot on odin
Ok. Thank you! I will report back here and see what happens. I don't think that I had auto reboot checked though.
I am using Odin 1.85. I still get the seandroid not enforcing error, however I did manage to boot into CWM once after it said the error.
HELP!?

That's normal. Everyone has that when something is flashed to the phone.

How come it doesn't work then? It just turns off afterwards.
I just realized that I was holding down the power button as well as the home and volume down for too long. The power button kept turning it off! I feel so stupid!!!!
Does each flash overwrite the last one or will I have like 10 unused recovery files?

seandroid not enforcing error means you have a custom recovery with a stock rom. Not compatable.

Can't get into recovery mode, nothing happens

Hello guys,
I need help My Samsung note 3 n9005 was rooted before and i flashed the stock rom on it and try to root it again. i was able to finish flashing CWM by using odin no problems encountered, but when i tried to install supersu by booting my phone to recovery mode it shows . recovery booting.. seandroid enforcing and after the phone reboots and boots to normal mode.
I already tried different version of Odin and CWM, also tried TWRP and Philztouch but still no luck.
I know i can access superuser by using CF auto root by cf auto root comes with default recovery and wasn't able to install custom roms via zip file.
i hope you all guys can help me out here.
TIA.

Someone please call me an idiot and tell me what i am doing wrong?

cannot root s5 (G900F) running lollipop

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

SM-G900S bootloop after trying to root

Good afternoon guys,
i have a big issue with my galaxy s5 SM-G900S (korean version). I bought it as a refurbished device. Knox was on 0x1 so something may have been modified.
It came with the stock (?!) android 4.4.2 from march14. I tried to update but it returned a registration error. Probably because knox is 0x1
In any case, I activated usb debugging and tried to root the phone using cfautoroot and the corresponding root file: CF-Auto-Root-klteskt-klteskt-smg900s.zip which I still assume to be the correct one.
I used odin for flashing. The device was properly connected (blue).
Everything seemed to go smooth until the phone restart when it said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I tried several times with both odin 3.07 and 3.09 but i cannot pass this step. I also tried the method to untick auto reboot, shut the phone down manually and boot into recovery mode but it failed.
This means I am now stuck in the bootloop. I can access download mode, but i cannot reach recovery mode. Also the phone is not recognized by the computer if i try to connect it to adb, kies etc. Odin seems to connect properly still.
Alright how should i proceed now?? My actual target is to flash a custom rom. I will need to go for a dirty flash now correct? Should I flash a stock rom with odin? If yes, which one?
Please support me a bit, I am very frustrated on this topic, especially cause I still dont realize my mistake......
Merry Christmas and greets from Bavaria, Germany.

Flash the stock firmware to get out of boot loop. After flashing the stock firmware, everything should be working fine and booting again. Instead of using CF auto root, flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash the SuperSU zip.

Alright, Im back to stock android 4.4.2 now. Works perfect, aside from registration. If I click on "update now" it shows: SKT-USIM required.
Can someone link a detailed guide for flashing cm13? I checked the web but i still dont entirely understand.
In any case I do not want to risk going into a tricky situation once more.....
Thanks in advance.
Greets, cheet
