Weird Seandroid enforcing problem after root - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Kernel is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit: Kernel - Boot loop ?

Hi guys,
Yesterday I updated to the new N9005XXUENA6 Leaked KitKat 4.4.2. Didn't really think much of it and finally decided to root the phone.
I rooted the phone with CF-Auto-Root thanks to chainfire. Anyway after that I installed CWM recovery as TWRP haven't really updated it since the new update for note 3.
Now i can get to the CWM recovery and after installing any rom
I tried
1. [JAN-13][hlte][1.2.4] AOSB Project (ProBAM ROM) - The End of The Line ! and then
2. [CM11][4.4.2][N9005][ROM][KERNEL][JAN13] temasek's UNOFFICIAL Build - V33
However, in both cases I get an error:
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel
and keeps on boot looping.
I can get into download and recovery but cannot install any custom ROM's.
After a bit of looking around and what i gathered from similar questions,I tried installing a couple of kernels but still its a no go!.
Is it as a result of the new N9005XXUENA6 update? or me doing something idiotic?
P.S: Tried wiping data / factory reset, format partition / system, etc. Cannot find fix permissions in the new CWM however and cannot use TWRP as it just doesn't boot up into the recovery.
Thanks in advance.

Based on what I read so far regarding the 4.4.2 update, if you flashed it on your device, there seems to be no way to go back to 4.3 ( I'm not sure if that means custom roms based on 4.3 as well ). Best thing to do is just flash the official 4.4.2 and hang in there until custom roms based on 4.4.2 comes out or people find a way to go back to 4.3. The reason the file from firasusman didn't work is probably because there might be difference in how kit kat deals with efs compared to jellybeans which it was written for in the first place.

Yip you won't be able to go to a lower bootloader than you are on with KK, CM based ROMs are currently running (MJ7) _ will have to wait until the new bootloader is implemented into new(er) builds.

Hi all,
I Have the same error " Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing " but it's when I try to root my SM-N9005 with the procedure of the SM-9005 (My phone can't be rooted)

Before you did this was your 4.4.2 on KitKat working well? Or did you come from 4.3? If you came from a correctly installed 4.4.2 then do go to this thread and start from STEP 8

This is CWM recovery and not TWRP. I dont have experience with TWRP.

I'm assuming you're on 4.3, you have to use this in pda/ap on odin. After flashing phone will restart with android and texts in color. After that it will reboot again to system and you will have root. SEandroid Enforcing is normal if you're rooting you're device. Have you checked with root checker if you have root? Also, once you root your device you will have to flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp to be able to boot to those recovery.

First you will have to update to stock 4.4.2 then you can flash any 4.4.2 roms.

The rom you flashed is based on android 4.3, if the phone you bought already have 4.4 then that is probably the cause of the loop. Flash another rom based on 4.4 or download stock firmware from sammobile and flash using odin.

You installed a 4.3 recovery on a 4.4 phone.
Most likely you downloaded the TWRP on the main page and did not download the latest 4.4 compatible one.
Please flash this in Download Mode: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hlte-recovery.img.tar
To get into Download Mode, remove the battery, wait a few minutes then put it back, Hold the Download Mode Combination then it would boot directly into Download Mode.
hey nicho, thank you very much
so that was the trick. REMOVE THE BATTERY --> PRESS THE DOWNLOAD KEYS AND HOLD THEM --> THEN ENTER THE BATTERY BACK.
it costed me the whole day yesterday searching for a solution.
at least now I can continue to install a new rom
Thanks man

during twrp it told me, there was a newer one. 2.x.x.9
so stupid me, if I had sticked to the plan, nothing would happend.
I used twrp b4 some days ago, for my samsung note 10.1 (2014) without trubbles,
I guess, I overread something

Solution To Loop SM-N900P
I am new to XDA and have only been with android for 6 months but i figure this will help new comers to this issue. Power+Volume Down+Home at the same time to enter download mode. Flash CWM via ODIN. This should work to fix the loop. I found out the hard way but it only took me an hour. I am not sure if this will work if you have not already rooted your phone but it should (since this is the major step in rooting). I believe i deleted my CWM file (accidentally) when i was trying to clear space for my recovery with ROM Manager. Be sure to download the Samsung drivers if you had not already done so during the rooting process.
Hope this helps.
Gives me same error message
But after that it boots into recovery.
Should I proceed installing custom rom or is there anything else to be taken care of
Thanks!
Thank you very much,you save me a lot of trouble.

Based on my experience, using rom manager to flash recovery always results in a problem. I suggest you use odin to flash this in download mode.

The way I did this is, first install the cwm recovery then flash cf-root after. You can always use odin to flash back the original firmware.

Just make sure reactivation lock is off.
When you first start odin, F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot are ticked off so let them be and make sure only those are checked and nothing else.
You probably know this but just to make sure, load the recovery on the AP slot before hitting start.

Recovery says seandroid enforcing?

I'm a noob to all this so I really need your help
When i try to boot up recovery I get:
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. It starts to reboot and the same thing.
If I boot into download mode and cancel, it boots up properly.
Then when I go into ROM manager and select a different recovery like twrp (was using CWM before) and it boots I get the same message!
I'd like to be able to download roms and all that fun stuff but I'm not sure what to do. I still have SU permission
Is there anyway to flash a new recovery through Odin or factory reset the whole device and recovery?

It is normal to get seandroid enforcing for recovery as you changing the samsung recovery, if you want to get back to normal you can flash samsung firmware via odin, if you want to flash custom rom, flash it on ur cwm recovery. Btw did you install correct version of CWM? If its not, download correct cwm and reflash. It will be fine.
Okay so its normal to get the seandroid enforcing but I still can't access CWM recovery.
I have some more information that might help.
I have the note 3 SM N900W8 but I got my root from the 9005 version which works great. The 900W8 root method had some bugs.
I tried reflashing root and it brought me back to the stock recovery of the 9005
Was wondering maybe I should install the 9005 CWM recovery?

Anyway, after much wrestling with CWM, I tried TWRP and had success finally getting the thing to boot to recovery, and installing CM 11. HOWEVER THROUGH IT ALL, ROOT CHECKER INSISTED I DID NOT HAVE ROOT ACCESS. ??
I downloaded TWRP, and the firmware, the ROM and GAPPS and flashed the whole thing through TWRP.... all the while having no root access..... whatever.
The device works fine, but on every re-boot I still get the line "seandroid not enforcing". Also, I was playing with Ultimate Screenshot, and got the error a bunch of times that I did not have root access, despite SU, Busybox, and Titanium Backup working fine...... I dunno what is up with this ....
Should I flash another kernel???... I'm an amatuer at all this so I'm a little lost.
Thanks to all the geeks here for the great info!!!!

You won't get rid of the seandroid not enforcing, it's because of the custom recovery and it's normal.
You have to enable root access in the developers options in settings. Next time do some more reading, it won't hurt you.

No that is true, more reading never hurt anyone. Of course then again neither has having manners.
Incidentally I've resolved the problem, regarding having "half root". It would appear I'll just get used to the annoying red text.

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

Did you flashed twrp on Ur device?
for install cfautoroot you must install twrp.tar on your PC (download from here https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar). then you must flash it via odin.
to flash it make sure you installed your device drivers on PC and enabled USB debugging in developer options.
then boot your phone in downloading mode by pressing power+home+volume down button. then connect your phone to the PC. open odin app and choose the recovery.tar you install from the link i gave you. flash it and wait until finish(maybe 2 or 3 min) and then reboot your device to recovery by pressing power+home+volume up button. flash your cfautoroot and enjoy [emoji5] .

I get the same exact thing on a sm-g900t3 (Galaxy S5 - tmobile, north America) Oddly enough I can get https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html installed no problem, but whenever I try to install root, either the supersu.zip via twrp or chainfire's autoroot directly from his site, it just bootloops into recovery.

I actually got it working, by installing a different version of supersu. The one I had was an update-supersu. I then found the full version and it worked. It did reboot itself a couple of times. The cf autoroot did not work for me at all. I opened it up in 7-zip and only saw cache and recovery, nothing related to supersu. I would like to tell anyone that the roms from sammobile did work, but I had to try a couple of them before i found the one which would flash properly.
If you extract the boot.IMG (or recovery.IMG I don't remember but not cach.ext4) and flash it via TWRP it does the trick. That's what worked for me.
