Hello all Xda members, I think I need some help with rooting Galaxy Note 3 because I am having some problems which makes me very very sick While everybody with this phone root easily I am stuck at the start screen and it does not boot.In this screen It says

Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing is normal.
Take your battery out and try to get into recovery, then reboot. If not just reflash CF auto root again...make sure you have the right version also, the latest one is for Kitkat not jelly bean!!
And learn your lesson too... READ before you mess around with your device...especially if you are gonna post about being upset and sick due to your own error
EDIT: PS Read THIS

When u flash the auto root, try unticking auto reboot. Then manually reboot when they say restart on odin

Also make sure you have the right version of CF Auto Root. I had the same problem but realised I downloaded the version that only works on 4.4 bootloaders.

SEAndroid recovery will stay as long as you have rooted/installed a custom recovery. It is nothing at all to worry about.. Want rid of it? flash stock no root, no custom recovery. Back to 100% Official status again.
I just dropped the HERP A DERP DOH!
--
Double check you have the right CF, untick Auto-reboot in ODIN (Use 1.85) - Run it, then once it goes to PASS in ODIN, reboot your device manually

Try flashing stock firmware. Make sure correct one. Then if can bootup. Flash custom recovery first instead of rooting. See if able to enter recovery mode. If can then proceed to install auto root , using the manual reboot method. If it fails reflash autoroot again.

I had the same problem and tried many recovery files outthere til finally i restored the phone, i am not an expert to be honest but i did all the steps above and i always end up in " Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing"

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

[A700FD] Root Problem galaxy A7

OK guys,
well after i updated to new lolipop via kies i didn't like it so i downgraded again to kitkat 4.4.4. Now its been almost 2 weeks trying everything i know and can to root my phone again but so far i can not .
i used CF-Auto-Root-a7lte-a7ltexx-sma700fd with base "A700FDXXU1AOA2_HOME.tar" all via odin and still won't work everytime i try to root i get this stupid error "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing set | warrnty bit: recovery"
i tried everything wipe date-hard factory reset .... everything it just won't get done -_->
so i tried kingroot and now boom it worked BUT i want to install SuperSu and it won't install bianry i tried everything from supersu me to terminal console trick and still won't get done and i need SuperSu coz i like it more and it works better with Lucky Patcher plus i already got it premium XD
so what did i do wrong? why i can't root it and get this stupid error ?
P.S
1-in odin mode there is this blue text 'Secure download on "
2-could this all relate to knox some how ?

"Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing set warranty bit: recovery" is not an error, its a warning and means nothing.
When downgrading to kitkat you need to wipe the data partition.
Flash the stock firmware, wipe the Data partiton, boot to android (10mins), reboot to download mode, flash cfautoroot.
If cfautoroot doesn't work flash TWRP then flash Supersu.

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and green RESET in ODIN after 2nd flashing

Hi everybody.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (6) 2016 (SM-A510F) with android 6.0.1.
I tried to root with CF-Auto Root and did everything as supposed to. But when the phone reboot it says always recovery is not seandroid enforcing.
So I did the same procedure again with the ODIN always and I unchecked the AUTO Reboot. But now ODIN says with green letters RESET. Did i just reset my phone?
I flashed the same file. I followed the procedure to the letter as said in the CF-AutoRoot thread. But I can;t understand whats wrong. I always use to root my phones but was Sony not Samsung. :crying:
What can I do?
The phone now suppose to be 6.0.1 or 5 android version? If it reseted it fully i mean.
Plus my knox warranty void number is 1. So that means that the first time worked but i didnt know what to do after that message.
Is the Ashyx method [TWRP 3.0.2-1][ROOT] GALAXY A5(2016) - sm-a510 - UPDATE 5/4/2016 capable of rooting my phone now? Or i have to put the stock rom inside and after try to root?
Save me please! I hope i didnt brick it.
Thanks a lot guys. I hope for a quick response! xx

If your device is bricked and not getting it back with Odin, try out the smart switch from samsung, there youll have EMERGENCY RECUPERATION, which leaves your device as it was.

Weird Seandroid enforcing problem after root

Hello ;D
I have a weird thing with my N910C with 6.0.1. I read a lot about similar problems but i think mine is little different.
My phone is not bootloped. It's rooted ,working normally but i can't install any custom recovery ; c
When i first try to root it with Odin using TWRP nothing really happend so i use CF-Auto-Root and at least it's rooted now.
Next I install TWRP again using TWRP Manager from Google play ,phone is still rooted and working ,but when i try to get into recovery it fails and display "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing"
Any suggestions how can i install TWRP or another custom recovery?
Thanks ;D

I've had this issue from installing TWRP from TWRP official app, Then I updated the firmware from Kies as a solution to the same after watching a few videos. I lost the SuperSU binaries and the root, rooted and flashed TWRP from Odin, by downloading the latest build from the TWRP website.
I got the same error message and still

Did you follow the steps!
1st unitck the auto reboot.
When you flash the custom recovery successfully for your device model go to recovery mode immediately.
if you reboot your device normally the stock recovery will replace the custom recovery so make sure to restart into recovery mode after installing the custom recovery via odin.

When you flashed TWRP through odin what did you get! The logcat?
It will be written like this
(Successful 1/faild 0) that means it's been installed successfully
(Successful 0/faild 1) that mean odin faild to install the recovery

After you flashing recovery through odin as soon as phone begins rebooting pull your battery for at least 25 seconds. I am not sure why it works but it has worked every time i have run into this issue. Also check that you are using the latest version of odin.

unfortunately still nothing ;c

After a successful install the twrp with odin immediately pull the battery out for 10 sec then put the battery back press the volume up+home button+power button
Try this one and please make sure you are installing the correct version for your device model.
