Hello there.. I normally don't have a problem figuring out what to do but I'm totally stuck here. I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 SPHL720T. I was rooted and running a custom ROM. I was having issues with the wifi so I decided to flash back to GPE 5.0.1 here from the xda forums. I am running twrp v2.8.4.0. I made a backup and wiped system/data/cache and dalvik. I went to install JFLTE-GPE-20150303 (LRX22C) from ultimarom.com via here at XDA. It said zip is corrupt. So i redownloaded on my PC and transferred it to my sd card. Still said corrupt. So I downloaded a different ROM on my PC and moved to SD. Still said corrupt. I tried to flash a GAPPS package and it worked but no ROMS I tried would. I tried to install my latest backup through recovery. It said MD5 doesn't match. If I hit reboot in twrp it prompts to install superuser because the phone doesn't appear to be rooted. If I hit that it runs the script for about 2 seconds then reboots. It won't boot into the OS as there is no OS and if I reboot into recovery it still gives me the "install su" prompt at the reboot screen. So then I hooked up into ODIN and download mode and flashed "CF-Auto-Root-jflterefreshspr-jflterefreshspr-sphl720t.tar.md5" and "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-jfltespr.tar". Still having the same issues. I have no idea what to do at this point. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I need my phone for work and play .
Thanks,
Aaron
Background: So i bought this used S5 900f from someone and it gave me "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" error while rooting and installing recovery. i found a workaround for this error by immediately pulling the battery trick after root. I have installed TWRP and root and they work but this "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing error" still displays when i try to enter recovery for about 2-3 seconds and then the recovery boots.
Now the Problem is : My s5 900f is not saving Wifi password on any of the lollipop builds i have tried Many UK 5.0 (BTU) Builds from Sammobile , and Nordic Countries 5.0 as soon as i restart or shutdown m phone Wifi password is reset and i have to enter it again after turning my phone on again. Surprisingly When i downgrade to any of the kitkat Builds Wifi starts saving passwords just fine?
Things i have tried
Format, Clear dalvik cache, cache, data, system, internal Storage and install different 5.0 builds.
Enabling disabling Google backup, it doesn't help.
Kindly Help me out does Wifi not saving password has anything to do with this "Seandroid not enforcing Error" . And how to fix this issue i am at verge of smashing this phone. .....:angel:

Thanks alot buddy, you just saved my phone....Phewwww do you know why it happened in the first place?
Buggy ROM is all I can think, it happened to me with a clean install of the latest LP ROM so I went looking for a fix for myself
I tweeted to Samsung UK about it, and they just talked to me like I was stupid, I guess they don't want to admit to it being their fault
UPDATE NOW after the build prop fix, i rebooted fine once... After installing TWRP the phone is crashing on boot up....touchwiz crashes along with all other programs it wont let me boot up. Maybe TWRP messed something up.
Try clearing the caches from recovery, the build.prop fix doesn't cause any issues like that, but I've had issues after flashing custom TWRP before, generally clearing caches / pulling battery fixes it

does your phone display "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" just before entering twrp? i tried clearing cache and battery pulling didnt work....now flashing earlier 5.O btu.
Yea, just means it's a custom recovery

Some folks are able to flash any 5.0 build and they don't get the Build.Prop issue. i just reflashed and the issue came back...will re edit the build.prop till now i have rooted + installed TWRP no issues so far only build.prop left to be edited..... could you please tell me why is it persistent on some phones that even reflashing, formating doesn't help.
Unfortunately Nothing works....I have been more than patient with this device...been flashing and trying different things for 18 hours now. It works fine but after going to recovery (Just by entering it) and then rebooting will freeze my phone with "Unfortunately Media storage has stopped working...and everything else like touchwiz also crashes".......i was so...so wrong to move to a samsung This Definitely is my last samsung phone...for now i will keep trying different things.
Try a different recovery, Philz Touch, CWM etc
Are you definitely flashing the latest TWRP?
The way I install TWRP is using TWRP Manager from G Play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager&hl=en_GB
Install BusyBox first or it'll prompt you before doing anything
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en_GB
The defaults it prompts you to change for locations can be left as they are

Should be able to find everything you need here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2697523
Instructions for ADB manual install, and also ODIN
Philz is a big favourite over CWM - Id try Philz first
Strange your same model S5 takes a fit with TWRP, it works fine on my G900F
Might be worth trying the App install method I posted

Thanks for your Help, i guess this problem is too complicated. Anyway this time i installed Philz recovery > formatted everything > remove user content and data > custom formatted everything > flashed 5.0 BTU. and surprisingly its saving WiFi passwords without any build prop changes. So i am going to leave it here . 5.0 Unrooted with stock recovery everything working (FOR NOW) . This time i used Odin 3.10 instead of 3.07. I hope it does not get stuck at boot logo and start crashing. Only one problem it kept connecting to "update server" evem tho i had disabled the auto update option from settings>about >updates . i restarted immediately hopefully it wont try to update again. Thanks again for your help.
Let me start by saying I've never modded a phone before so I'm extremely new. I followed a few how-to's on these forums (by rovo89) as well as videos on how to enable xposed installer on my Galaxy s5 G900i. I rooted it successfully, installed TWRP without any problems all using Odin, but then flashed the incorrect arm file, and when I restarted my phone it was stuck on the Samsung bootloop. I didnt download the uninstaller and my phone wasn't able to connect to Odin at that point. I did have a backup file however. I restored to my latest backup however my phone was still unable to boot, even after wiping cache and data files. In a mad rush, i did a complete factory reset and wiped off all of the files including the system, and obviously now when I try and boot i get the warning "No OS installed! are you sure you want to reboot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, is there any way to remedy this situation or have I screwed up too bad. Apologies for my stupidity.
Edit: I should note that when my phone is in bootloop, it is recognised by Odin (Added!), however while it is in TWRP, it is not recognised (Removed!).
Download official rom for your device and flash it via odin
Ok guys, im going through youtube, google, XDA on fixing this thing (stupid xposed...)
I have Samsung galaxy note 3 (sm-n9005) on android 5.0 that i rooted using odin method and installed TWRP (did not made recovery image)
i did that few days ago...but today (idk why) i wanted to install xposed to see what it is...
So i downloaded these:
xposed-v86-sdk21-arm.zip
xposed-v86-sdk21-arm.zip.asc
installed through TWRP and i restarted and it was stuck on samsung logo.
so i deleted davlink, cache rebooted nothing...i wited entire phone using TWRP except system partition, still nothing, than i downloaded:
xposed-uninstaller-20150831-x86.zip
xposed-uninstaller-20150831-x86.zip.asc
and it said in red letters:

error installing zip file '/sdcard/xposed
uninstaller/xposed-uninstaller -20150831-x86.zip'
I dont know what else to do. Can someone help me please?
Download and flash a stock rom on Odin, factory wipe/reset, reboot.
Hi Guys,
i lately got on old Samsung Tab 9.7 with an official Android 7 Nougar running on it.
I decided to flash twrp_3.1.0-1_sm-t550_13317 with Odin3_v3.10.7. I followed the steps ashyx described in his thread. So far so good..
Afterwards I installed SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502 from SDCard and it prompted to reboot... now there is the problem.. It won't reboot. It says "Check failed" and I have to factory reset it. When pressing the button it boots into twrp and I can only spot red lines until it reboots with kernel binary and I'm back at the same point.
Any ideas what to do?
btw. are there any new version of twrp , SuperSu or Magisk I can use? Couldn't find any newer versions. I also search for any ROM which has the most up-to-date status (if there are any xD)
Thanks guys
Not my type of tablet but when the SM-T585 had those issues it was a wrong version of TWRP, so maybe look into that.
And SuperSU, really? That's been dead for years, use Magisk instead. It has a whole subforum here on XDA.
/edit: I managed somehow to install latest twrp and lineageOS.. but on first boot it brings up an encryption error.
"encryption was interrupted and can't complete..."
I need to factory reset the tablet... but with that i run again into a bootloop. I can't wipe "data" via twrp Error 8 was it, i think at least ^^
/edit2: I'd go with magisk... but I only find the .apk .. what do I have to flash in twrp?
/edit3:
Managed to reinstall twrp with latest verion twrp-3.5.2_9-0-gt510wifi.img. wiped all data ... Installed Magisk-v23.0 afterwards lineage-18.1-20211108-UNOFFICIAL-gt510wifi . But again.. encryption error on Lineage boot.
Problem solved.
reverted to complete stock, afterwards flashed twrp, installed magisk + lineage 18.1 + OGapps 11.0.
Now it's running.
