Hi,
I have the samsung s4 (GT-i9505) and from what I can tell (from SuperSU) I have it rooted. However I cannot flash
clockwork recovery for some reason.
ROM manager states that the current recovery is ClockworkMod 6.0.4.7, yet when I try to reboot into recovery, I get the standard recovery screen and not the clockwork mod recovery.
I used heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --CACHE cache.img.ext4 to root the phone and unfortunately (as I am on OSX) I can't use odin. Any thoughts on how I can get clockwork recovery mod working?
Thanks in advance!

Odin is very very very usefull. So maybe install virtualbox with windows in it? It will help you 100%

I tried to get it working with virtualbox, but no matter what I tried (installing drivers, messing about with USB passthrough) I could never get odin to recognise my phone

But when you normal start your phone and connect it to your Mac, than virtualbox shows the Galaxy S4 and recognize it in kies?
Use Odin from another computer, like friend's computer.
Okay, so I installed windows on another laptop and got odin working. After odin completes "successfully" I still can't access clockwork mod recovery.
The phone has been rooted but I still get the stock recovery screen when I enter recovery mode.
Any thoughts?

Uncheck Auto Reboot. should work fine
Hi, just bought an S5 G900F (international version)... and i wanted to install a custom recovery than root.. than flash rom. Im experienced in this matter... but ... im having all sorts of odd problems. I tried several reocvery (openrecovery, twrp, philztouch)... non stick when i reboot?
I tried several times... odin says everything installed fine.
I wanted to install cf-root... i did it win odin and when phone restarted it says: "recovery booting.... recovery is not seandoird enforcing ... set warranty bit : recovery
Who can help me??
PS Im on lollipop 5.0 if it makes any difference. All attempts were realized with different versions of odin
People have success with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and ODIN 3.10.6
Then SuperSU from TWRP if it sticks

Tried no luck. I simply get the stock recovery all the time after restart

Try unchecking "Auto reboot" in ODIN, and once the flash has finished, pull the battery, replace and boot into recovery
just tried it... still no go (... do you think i would have more success trying from adb?
Lol this phone has smth against me.
Tried adb: as long as i have it in "desktop" mode adb devices finds it; as soon as i adb reboot bootloader, using the fastbootdevices... adb doesnt see it anymore... so i cant proceed to the flashig
I know you know what you're doing when it comes to this stuff, as you said
But just to make sure, can you post the exact step by steps you're using to try and flash CF Auto-Root and TWRP etc with ODIN?
Yes of course. As i doesn't work for me... i (even) hope im doing something wrong, so we can get to the bottom of this.
So, installed S5 drivers, Enabled usb debuggin in phone (dev menu). Put phone in dl mode (vl dwn+power+home), open odin, select at AP the recovery (tried about 3 recoveries, older versions and newer ones, twrp, phil, open). I have both (by default) checked auto reboot and f-reset time... connect phone with usb cables (tried 2) (connected directly to mb, no extension)... hit start... get the pass message.. phone resets... goes into android. I power off, go to recovery mode (vl up+power+home) and... i get the stock recovery every single time.
Tried something wierd... flashed through Odin CF-root first (with intention to flash after twrp ... as it says phone needs to be rooted first)... it flashes ok (odin says pass, successful 1), reboot (or go to recovery mode)... i get that seandroid error.
Tried to to with with apps from android as well... it doesnt let me.. obviously as most ask phone to be rooted.
What am I missing?
Those are the correct steps, it definitely should have flashed
Doing this from a native PC yes? Ive seen people trying it from Macs and it fails every time
Only thing I can think of right now is try using a different PC
You don't need USB debugging enabled for flashing with ODIN, download mode has no idea what settings you have enabled in Android
Like your method, I just do this:
Samsung Drivers (KIES3 installs them for you anyway)
Vol Down & Home & Power for Download Mode
Connect phone to PC USB
Leave ODIN defaults set (3.09 or 3.10.6)
Select CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar.md5 in AP/PDA section of ODIN
Wait for it to become ready
Hit start
Phone reboots, and I have root
You could try factory resetting the phone, and trying again, see if that does anything, or at least clear the caches from stock recovery first
Hello Team
I have an unidentified GT-I9500, that I need to set in recovery mode.
Using Odin 3.10 and trying all different and latest versions of either CWM, TWRP or Phillipz Custom Recovery.
Even that I am able to set the phone in download mode, Odin states all OK (Pass) and I see the green bar on the phone doing progress ok, when I try to enter recovery, it always goes into stock recovery
Need to run the Screen Passcode Removal zip (only in recovery)
Any help or sugestions ?
I have tried AT&T, Verizon, International etc versions of both CWM and TWRP and none of them work
(they all go Ok on the process, but the phone never gets into Custom Recovery
Thank you in advance
Jose
What is the model number displayed in download mode?
Thanks a lot for your reply
It states:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9500
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNSG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
And in recovery mode it states Android Recovery Mode 3e
Any help is welcomed !
Make sure you're using the original cable, and move the cable to a different port if necessary. This is an Odin issue, not phone.
Thank you !
Tried with 2 different cables, will look for a third one.
Even if a see on the phone the "blue bar" that means download in progress, and Odin says OK, PASS, it can be the cable ?
Thanks a lot for your help
BTW if you know how to remove the Screen Lock password with the Stock Recovery, that sis welcomed as well
I have issues all the time with my S4 and often it just comes down to how I am pressing the buttons to get into other the boot download mode or the custom recovery rom. I swear I press them exactly at same time ,but then I do it differently and it works.
Also found cable / USB ports can affect it too. My home PC for some reason is terrible for using Odin, but then my laptop it works fine.

Uncheck auto-reboot in Odin before flashing the recovery.

It worked !!!! thanks a lot Lennyz !!
Tried hundred times.....even unchecking the Autoreboot Option in Odin in past tries, but seems with the wrong Recovery version.
I am on TWRP recovery now !!!
Now let me see if I can run LockScreen_Security_bypass...the reason I needed Custom Recovery...)
This is not the first time i root an android device but it is the first time im doing it on an S5, nonetheless I am pretty much stuck right now.
I tried to install CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.tar using Odin from here, it installed with no problems, but when the phone restarted I get:
RECOVERY BOOTING
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
and then it shuts down.
I tried to enter recovery mode by doing power+vol up+menu but nothing happens ?
Can anyone help ?
EDIT: ok, so I did manage to get it running again by flashing openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-gt-klte. This got me past the "Recovery is not seandroid...", but all in all I still didn't manage to get root access...
I passed through a similar situation , all u have to do once u've got the recovery is get the SuperSU flashable zip and flash it and ur done
Here is a direct link : https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1
This happened to me also. I am running XXU1BOJ1 . I flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-klte.img and even though it solved getting stuck at recovery, my phone still boots into the standard recovery instead of TWRP when pressing VOLUP+Home+Power. Anyone got ideas?

RECOVERY BOOTING
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
then when i boot i get a black screen with all application error....the only way to get it back working was to wipe factory reset in original recovery.
what can i do to get it working so i can install custom roms?

I can't seem to get the coustom recovery installed, and after some digging i found this :
manubhargav said:
Actually the problem was that custom recovery(twrp here) was not installed at all, that above mentioned error occurs when you try to install SuperSU.zip from stock recovery<3e>.
This happens because when you flash custom recovery from Odin and allow it to reboot on its own, Samsung's recovery checking script checks if a custom recovery is present and overrides.
To bypass that check you need to take your battery out as soon as the recovery is flashed by Odin ( and before the phone reboots).
As soon as the Odin says PASS you should be ready to take out the battery which will stop it from rebooting,
put back the battery and enter recovery mode directly by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S5 screen flickers and the main screen of Recovery mode appears.
This will avoid script checking and will let you to custom recovery directly,there you can install SuperSU or any other zip.

Maybe your phone is not recognized in Download Mode as corresponding drivers may not be properly installed. So Computer is not able to recognize the phone when in Downlaod mode. Install SM Bus Controllers drivers from Intel from Official driver source.
After setting-up you'll be able to flash TWRP and boot into recovery mode.

Ah, So the problem you're facing is NOT getting into recovery mode
There are 2 ways to solve the problem, (1st -> flashing recovery.tar again, 2nd-> flashing stock firmware)
First method:
Enter "Download Mode" by holding down "Volume Down"+ "Home" + "Power" button.
Flash recovery.img again and check if it boots into recovery this time.
Sometimes this may not work and you may need to try flashing firmware
Second method:
Download Firmware from here
Open odin in your PC
Enter "Download mode"
Connect the device to PC using USB
Flash the PDA, BL, AP, CSC etc.
Alternatively, You can flash the firmware using SmartSwitch

Oh but it is! That's exactly my problem. Look, here are the 3 outcomes I get regarding the whole recovery menu thing:
Go into the default recovery menu - cant install SuperSU but at least it works.
Install twrp and remove the battery after it finishes transfering and wants to restart, at which point when I go into recovery I get the above error (Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE.)
Install twrp and let it restart by itself and after it is done, go into recovery only to find it is back to the default one.

Which Kernel version are you in? Which TWRP version did you try? Install other custom recoveries? On locked bootloader?
Ok, I tried CWM and nothing changed, i get the default recovery menu...
Doing the shut down before it restarts gets me "recovery is not seandorid enforcing"

Turn OFF Auto-Reboot option in ODIN and flash the recovery.tar and remove battery and directly boot into recovery mode.
Go into a working custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and flash SuperSU.zip from the recovery and reboot with ("Fix permissions" if there is such an option, otherwise simply reboot).

1)
Ah use latest twrp 2.8.70
Ah use latest supersu beta 2.52
Quick download cm12.1 nightly and flash it.
Boot Rom and go into settings/aboutphone/ click build number rapidly.
Developer settings should appear, then go into developers options/ click on "root access" and enable it.
---- now test if its working . however....
2)
If its not working, take yourself back into twrp and flash that supersu beta.
----now test again. However ....
3)
If it doesn't work again .
go back to stock 5.0 rom>>> put twrp on >>> and flash DAT supersu .
now test ya rom again. However.........
4)
If it dont work again ..
go back to stock 4.4 rom>>> put twrp on>>> and flash a random supersu.
now test ya rom again. However.....
5)
if that doesn't work again,
Go back to stock rom through (odin) and restart the process from the top .
btw the "recovery is not seandorid enforcing" is normal . not an error.

First of all holy **** what an answer... let's SLOW DOWN a bit first, shall we ?
Secondly you lost me from step 1, I don't want CyanogenMod, I want the default Samsung 5.0 with TouchWiz (contrary to popular belief I actually like it).
Also I would really like to know (from someone that actually knows why this happens) why is it reverting to default recovery and how can I stop it from doing so ? manubhargav had an interesting idea, but sadly it doesn't work for everyone (as someone else mentioned on that other post)
So I'm guessing no one knows the answer to my problem considering almost a moth has passed...
I know that in kitkat the answer was to turn off / disable 'Reactivation Lock' (located under settings>>security and unchecking the box)........
I had heard that Samsung had removed that option in lollipop, but it might be worth checking......it has/had to be disabled BEFORE attempting to flash anything......

Hi,
I was flashing twrp with flashify when I just rebooted in recovery and since that moment my phone is stuch on an infinite bootloop showing me the:
"Recovery booting (recovery is not seandroid enforcing...)"
I'm plugging off the battery for some hours, but when plugged in nothing changed.
My phone has the usb port broken, so I can use it only to charge the battery, but no pc will recognize it.
Since the fact that I can't access download mode, or recovery mode to restore a nandroid backup, It's insane to buy a usb port to change it on the phone and try to link to a pc?
I mean, is there a way to access download mode?
Does JIG usb work in this situation of hard brick?
Any advice?
Thanks for answering.

You need a working usb to flash a custom recovery or an offical fw. I thought flashify needs root access to work?. Or if you already have root, you could adb to flash twrp but it's too late now.
Try getting into download mode. When it asks to proceed or cancel, choose cancel. Some people are lucky that the phone boot into system again but they need to fix the broken recovery later.

After 2 months of battery out, finally I got download mode to work, and pressing cancel my phone started.
Thanks.
But now it seems that there is no custom recovery installed, so when i go in custom recovery, the loop starts again.
How may I install again a custom recovery, knowing that:
1) I can't connect to pc, cm 12.1 has a bug, no pc recognizes my phone;
2) rom manager doesn't install any custom recovery on my phone;
3) flashify made my phone in boot loop, and I can't understand what I was wrong 2 months ago.
Thank you, man.
See your other post man .
Flash the tar version of TWRP using Odin. If there is no tar version, you can use Cygwin to convert an img file to a tar file.
