So I bricked my note 3. I get the Samsung Note 3 boot screen and it stays there. If I do the three button combo I get the blue words "Recovery Booting" along the top but then it just sits there. Is there hope for me and if so can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
hi
how did you bricked your phone?
if you can enter the downloading mode home+vol down+power flash a stock rom
How? I ended up flashing a less than complete file setup in Odin. I'm a noob...
I kept hitting vol up, forgot about vol down... I'm still in trouble but at least I have something...
I have safe strap installed and was working on putting in Knoxraid. I will play with this and maybe get myself back up.
Thanks, I got Knoxraid installed in mere minutes once you pointed out using the vol down to enter download mode... Thanks!!!

I tried to root my phone S7 Edge 6.1.1 just a moment ago using ODIN and CF Auto Root. I got the PASSES! sign in ODIN but upon phone rebooting I am stuck on the Samsung S7 Edge logo screen with text in red 'Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing" up the top.
At this time I am unable to turn my phone off, when I do it just turns back on and goes to the same screen. I can't get into download or recovery mode either.
Any help on how to fix would by greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Also thought I should add, my phone doesn't get registered when I connect it to my PC either, it wont show up in ODIN so I am unable to flash a stock recovery at this time.
It's trying to boot into recovery.
When you say you rooted with CF Auto Root, what did you do precisely? And did you follow Chainfire's specific instructions regarding the lack of screen output during the process?

Thanks for the reply.
I used CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.tar to root.
The steps I used was to simply put my phone into download mode and use ODIN to flash the file mentioned above. That is as far as I got unfortunately. I did this once before, a few month back when I first got the phone with no issues. I remember having to install TWRP but I couldn't remember if I did that pre-root or post-root. But I think that is where I went wrong.
Now I am unable to do anything with my phone. I can't turn it off, get into download or recovery mode. When I hold down VOL UP+POWER+HOME it just resets the phone back to the samsung logo screen.
Any ideas on what I could do?
You used the CF Auto Root file for an S6 Edge.

OH GOD. You're right. I just realized that. I was supposed to have them saved into their own folders but I guess I saved that one too the wrong folder.
So what does that mean for the life of my phone then? Is it toast or is it recoverable somehow?
What is your model? Is it the SM-G935F? If so, first things first, download the correct CF Auto Root file for your device (here) and try again. Press VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME and it should reboot into Download Mode. Then try to flash the correct file in Odin again.
These phones are very difficult to hard brick, especially with something like CF Auto Root so you should be ok.

Yes, it is a SM-G935F. Unfortunately I am unable to reboot the phone into Download Mode. When pressing VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME it just takes me straight back to the Samsung logo where it says "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing". I'm hoping that once the battery drains completely I will be able to boot into Download Mode again.
Try simply resetting it instead. Press volume down and the power key (don't press home) for around 7-10 seconds. Once it starts to reset, remove your fingers from the buttons very briefly then press volume down, home and power to enter download mode.

That hasn't worked either unfortunately.
I just found this thread from a guy having a similar problem. He just had to wait for his phone's battery to drain completely and then he was able to enter download mode again.
You shouldn't have to though. If you can get the phone to reset at all (even if it's to make another attempt to go into recovery) then providing you time it right, you should be able to get into download mode. Did keeping your fingers on just the volume down and power buttons do anything? Keep them on continuously for up to 20 seconds and see what happens. Did you say pressing vol up & home & power made it reset and try to again get into recovery? What happens if, as soon as the screen indicated it's resetting, you remove your fingers and quickly press vol down & home & power instead?
Anyway, even if you have to wait until the phone dies, getting into download will be possible eventually. Then worst case scenario would be you having to reflash stock back. Or, as would be my preference, flash TWRP then flash a custom rom zip like Superman.
Just to confirm, I take it you selected OEM Unlock in dev options?

I have never had any trouble getting into recovery or download before so I know the method. But just the properly clarify for you I will explain some of the combination I have tried without success. Bare in mind the phone is constantly turned on and idles on the Samsung logo.
I have tried:
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME, the phone resets and goes back to the logo.
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER, same as above.
Hold VOL UP+POWER+HOME, nothing happens at all.
Hold VOL UP+POWER, same as above.
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME, release and repress all on black screen, just goes back to logo.
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER, release and hold VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME on black screen, just goes back to logo.
and numerous other things like random combination to try and enter Download or Recovery mode, which have all failed.
Right now it's just stuck on the Samsung logo and staying there, taking forever to drain battery. I work in the morning so hopefully it is dead by then and I can get into Download mode.
Have already started download stock firmware in hopes that I will be able to flash it after.
Thanks a bunch for your help. If you think of anything else I might be able to try let me know!
Oh wow. 100+ attempts and I followed your last post about holding for up to 20 seconds. I was waiting ~5 seconds and releasing thinking that it hadn't worked.
Finally go into Download mode and will flash stock firmware and let you know how I go.
Thanks again! I owe you a cold one.
EDIT: Was no need to flash stock firmware. Just flashed the proper version of CF Auto Root and it worked. Again, thank you so much!
Fantastic. Hope you get it sorted.
On a side note, you have probably already tripped knox and you will have lost you OS data and possibly even what you have stored on internal storage. If so, I suggest you install TWRP, format data (you will lose everything with this but it removed encryption) and install a custom rom like Superman 1.9 from your external SD. It's better than plain stock and comes pre-rooted with plenty of other mods.
I can't get it to work? What keys did you held down?
This is how my screen looks

I tried to root with Odin but I think I might have failed. How can I undo this?
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
hello,
my S7 Edge was rooted with cf-auto-root and worked fine but after 2 monthe I've installed LBE_Security_Rel_6.1.1928_A1_DE_v5_signed and reconized the message device is not tooted.
I was not very clever and cofirmed the question "fix the root problem" I don't remember exactly the words. After that root was gone.
I've flashed the stock Fw G935FXXU1APD1_G935FDRE1APC3_DRE but I still have the message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" after trying to root with CF auto root.
AP:G935FXXU1APD1
CP:G935FXXU1APD1
CSC:G935FDRE1APC3
Is there any way to get root again
Any help on how to fix would by greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Simply hold down Home + Power + Volume Down for 10-15 seconds - don't release when the phone initially reboots and gives the same error, keep them held down and download mode will appear. I have to hold for 11 seconds, a strangely unrounded number.
Hello Guys I have this Same issue Yesterday....... This happens when you flash outdated CF Autoroot. CF Autoroot Updated on 25/08/2016... Download it...
Fix for Stuck in Logo Screen
Just Click and Hold ...... Vol Down + Menu + Power Keys ...... DO NOT RELEASE. IT Will Restart. DONT release. It will restart again and you will be download mode.
i found this during the rooting process. its a bit different to older samsungs on the s7 / s7edge. YOU HAVE TO KEEP HOLD OF VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER until it enters download mode, which can be 20-25 seconds
I have S7 Edge Exynos, Marshmallow.
Successfully rooted using CF-autoroot.
Verified rooted using Root Checker.
After rooting, tried to install TWRP via Odin. Disabled the auto-reboot in Odin.
Flashed twrp-3.0.2-2-hero2lte.img.tar in Odin. Got a green PASS! in Odin.
Rebooted phone, no TWRP. Tried to reboot into recovery (TWRP), not successful.
I thought TWRP has been installed, but maybe my key combo is not correct, so I tried another way to reboot into recovery (TWRP) via app. I installed Quick Reboot app from Google Play Store, gave it Root Permission. Pressed "Boot into recovery".
Now the phone is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge logo. I pressed and hold power button - nothing. Pressed and hold Volume Up, Power and Home - nothing. I pressed and hold Volume down, Power and Home, the screen blanks for a short while, then gets stuck at the Samsung S7 Edge logo screen.
I tried connecting the phone to PC and to Odin, device not detected.
What should I do? Please help.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure how to flash via Odin. The phone is currently stuck at Samsung logo. Cant power off, cant reboot. It just stays on at that Samsung logo. When I connect the phone to my laptop, the device is not connected. Odin doesn't detect the phone.
You need to reboot into download mode to flash with odin hold the power and home button and the volume down button for a minute or so them use odin
1. get your phone into download mode. (hold power+home+v.down)
2.once in download mode connect it to your pc
3. go to sammobile.com and find the right firmware for you. (according to phone model)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/galaxy s7/
4. once odin shows that your phone is connected with something like : <ID:0/003> Added!! in the log tab and 0:[COM3] above it you're ready to flash.
*I hope that by now your download is ready, and you have a zip file. click to open the zip and extract ONLY the ap file from there.
for me (SM-G935F) the file name is : AP_G935FXXU1DQE7_CL11104523_QB13505684_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5. (notice the AP before the file name).
5. now press the AP button and choose the AP_G935FXXU1DQE7_CL11104523_QB13505684_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5 or whatever you extracted and press start. after that your phone should boot and you'll be good to go.

Thank you very much for the detailed step by step instruction. I followed your instruction and managed to restore the stock rom, and the phone now works normally again. What a relief. You are a life saver!
The hardest thing was to get the phone to boot into download mode, because it just refuses to do so. It just stayed on, stuck at the samsung logo. Pressing down, home and power only make the screen flash briefly, then stuck at the logo again. The phone wont turn off. I had to leave the phone as it is to drain its battery. Once the battery is out of juice, the phone is finally off, then I connect it to PC, and pressed the key combo to enter download mode. After second try I managed to get into download mode. From there I followed the instruction to flash the stock rom again. I wouldnt know to extract and use only the AP file, as the instruction from sam mobile didnt say anything about it. But your detailed instruction did. The phone now works as normal. Thank you again! :good::good:
And thanks the rest who also provided advice in this thread as well. Much appreciated.

Hi. Something just occurred to me. In sam mobile site, there are like 5 versions of 6.0.1 stock roms. I wasnt sure which ones were mine, so i just chose one. And I only installed the AP file, as per your instruction. Is it okay not to install the rest of the files like the BL, CP etc?
Then later, i decided to try out nougat, and flashed the stock nougat rom from sam mobile, again i only flashed the AP file. I didnt flashes the rest of the files like BL, CP, CSC etc. Is this okay? Or should i flashed all those files too?

Unplug usb from the phone.
Press the power and volume up and volume down and home buttons at the same
time.
As soon as you feel vibration let go of the volume down button while pressing
the volume up, power and home button until you see the samsung logo, then
let go of all the buttons and it should boot into recovery mode.
If it does not boot to recovery mode after doing the above steps 3-4 times
you will need to press volume down and power button until the phone
goes into "download mode".
Once in download mode you will need to re-flash the stock samsung
firmware again.
But this time make sure you flash the correct official version and model#
for your phone's model.
Good luck, have a great day!
Same issue
I have the same issue finaly Turned off. I tried to flash with Stock meteor ireland ,because i have Eir mobile ireland but still the same. I know for sure i have to use meteor. Can somebody help please . Using this https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/MET/
I updated TWRP to 3.1.1.2 inside TWRP. The issue I encounter now is that my S8 stucks on the very first booting screen. You know the very first screen where it stated "Samsung Galaxy S8" and down below "powered by android".
I can't do anything. It's just like the phone has frozen at that state. Nothing works anymore. Even If I try to turn it off by pressing Volume down + Bixby + power button, it just restart and get stucks at the boot screen again and again. There's NO boot loop.
I'm on europe version of the Galaxy S8
stock rom and rooted (Magisk)
Got TWRP installed but after updating TWRP the phone freeze at the very first booting screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for your efforts!
First of all - make sure you have the correct TWRP for your device. I know for myself that by searching google I got the S8+ twrp at first and flashed it by mistake without noticing.
Then try this-
Connect your device to a power socket (pc or wall, doesn't matter)
When you are on the very first screen, turn off the device by pressing Power + Volume down. Your device will shut down and you will see the charging animation.
Once you see it, disconnect the device from the USB and try one of the following:
Power + Volume up + Bixby for recovery mode
or
Power +Volume down + Bixby for download mode
I think the download mode will work, then just flash a stock rom or the correct recovery and try again
I failed right at the second step. Once I connect my S8 to power socket and tried to turn of the device by pressing Volume down + Power, the device turnt off for about 2 seconds and then reboot again to the very first screen. Even if my S8 is on power socket, I do not see the charging animation. So that is why I cannot continue with step 3.
Any Ideas buddy?
EDIT:
I got it enter the download mode
I downloaded the TWRP img from here https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/
After enter the download mode, I flash TWRP via odin. It passed via Odin but my S8 doesn't enter TWRP but instead stuck at the very first boot screen.
Any ideas, buddy?
EDIT:
I've solved it myself. Thanks for your efforts!
I got the exact same problem but how did u do it please help me
Hi I just got the exact same problem as you but I cannot get how I would fix it please help???
Edit: I got it to download mode but I do nut understand how I would flash it
The only way around this I found was to Odin back to stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444
Then follow the instructions to reinstall twrp using odin https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-s8-exynos-t3847712/post77735501#post77735501
