Sorry, not a newb. Searched, but apparently not enough.
Knox counter is tripped, but as long as it doesn't affect anything besides warranty, I don't really care.
Problem is, even though I'm rooted, and Odin (3.0.9) tells me that recovery flash was successful, I still cannot boot into recovery (trying for TWRP). I have TWRP on my Sensation, but this phablet is a no-go.
I'm still getting the
"RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery"
loop.
Easily to get out of, by getting the phone into the download mode, but the issue still remains. No matter what I try, I get the "Done" message via Odin, Rashr, etc. Yet, every time I try to reboot into recovery (to flash a custom ROM), I find myself stuck back in the recovery loop.
Help, please!

I've tried flashing recovery via Odin and CWM Recovery and it will reboot into recovery just fine. However, when I let it reboot into android, turn it off, and then go back into recovery, CWM is gone. The phone, however, stays rooted.
Any idea what could be wrong or how to fix this?
Secondly, if I can get into CWM immediately after flashing, is it safe to flash a new ROM at that point or do I need to get CWM to stick first?
Anyone? Any suggestions at all will be appreciated

Sure... You can flash a rom immediately following the flash of cwm.... Did you also install busy box?
Which cwm are you trying to use? 5.8.4.7 seems to do me good....?

Before your phone boots after installing cwm in Odin do a battery pull then boot into recovery （Volume Up+Home+power) then flash your superuser/root package. It will stick then.

I tried using that CWM version as well as an older one. Both work and I can get busy box and superuser installed once it boots up. But when I power down and try to go back into recovery, CWM is gone. I do get to keep root though.

I tried unchecking the auto-reboot button on Odin 4 and 7, and going that route. Both allow me to get into CWM, where I try to flash the recovery v5.zip. Still doesn't stick unfortunately.
My flash counter is up to about 10 now, trying to get CWM to stick..

Thanks everyone. I used CWM toolkit, reflashed the stock recovery, then used odin 3.07 to re-flash CWM 5.5.0.4 and it stuck.
I updated my phone to me7 and I followed a root procedure. After I used goo manager to install twrp and clicked reboot recovery but when it rebooted it went into downloading mode and won't let me boot normally! It says on the top could not do normal boot. Please help!!!
Yeah mine is doing the same thing. Not really sure what's going on, heh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
**EDIT**
Nevermind...now when I reboot it goes into the OS like normal. Thanks again, man.
You cant install a custom recovery on the me7 ota. Theres a ton of posts on this already. To get past that turn your phone off and use the button combo for booting into odin(vol down + power). Itll ask if you want to proceed or cancel, hit cancel and your phone will boot. To fix you will either need to flash a stock recovery or use odin and reflash me7.

This got me back into the phone but now I'll have to reflash the stock img via ODIN?
Anywhere I can find the stock recovery?

I'm running on SCH-I545 everytime I use Volume Up, Power, and Home button combo it attempts to go into recovery but instead it goes to Odin mode instead. I installed CWM correctly I believe through ROM Manager app and when I select to reboot into recovery through the app it does the same thing, When I do boot normally I don't see the custom symbol anymore but my root checker says I am rooted. Am I not rooted correctly. Is my bootloader not unlocked? Please help I really want to install a new rom but I'm still in stock touchwiz
You're doing it wrong.

You boot into downloader mode using Volume Down, Power, and Home.
You boot into recovery using Volume Up, Power, and Home.
Since you're booting into downloader mode, you're using the wrong volume button. Use the other one.
Or install Rom Manager or Quick Boot and use them to reboot into recovery.
Still nothing!

That is what I do but like I said it still goes into downloader even when I boot into recovery from Rom Manager.
Sounds like youre on me7 and then installed a custom recovery which you cant do. Thats why its going to download mode. Youll have to flash a stock image through odin to get back your stock recovery. The only thing me7 people can do is run safestrap.

I actually foolishly did the same before, installed TWRP and CWMR on ME7. Currently still running stock ROM, rooted. Is there a benefit to ODIN back to stock recovery? When I install safestrap, will the TWRP that comes with safestrap overwrite the other recoveries I installed before?

I havent read everything on the boot process but I believes it hijacks it and sends it into the safestrap im nearly positive it doesnt overwrite the stock recovery. I could be wrong tho. I would reflash the stock image so I would have a stock recovery but thats me.

So, I updated to 4.3 using the newest method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504408
However,
I kept root and everything works fantastic and removed KNOX. But...
I cant seem to flash any custom recovery. I tried Unistalling-Re-Installing SafeStrap (No Avail) When I hit reboot recovery it reboots into ODIN Download mode! I have no idea why.
I tried using Goo Manager and flashing TWRP. It says successful but again, when I rebooted into recovery (even using the button press method,. I still am sent to the ODIN download mode. What did I do wrong?
I tried the Loki Method but it says aboot version different or something.
I dont want to do anything to lose root access can anyone tell me how they got a custom recovery on 4.3 ota?

First: Wrong Forum
Second: Having root doesn't mean you can have a custom recovery.
There is no custom recovery. Safestrap isn't compatible...... yet. And the bootloader is locked.
Sent from my NCC 1701 using Tapatalk 4
Only MDK will allow a custom recovery or an unlocked bootloader. Once you went to MJ7 with the OTA, these are both gone.
can someone move my post to appropriate forum?
the above 2 are correct. there is no recovery available for 4.3. all we have is the ability to keep root.
Share with us a screen shot of your phone.. When you boot into Odin does it say 0x0 or 0x1

Stuck in bootloop. Please Help!
Recovery booting.
Recover is not android enforcing.
Set Warranty Bit: Recovery.
I flashed Freeza's stock KITKAT tar, no problem.
Flashed CF-Auto Root, no problem. Flashed TWRP, stuck in bootloop.
CAN'T get into download mode!! Is this salvagable???

Always. It's a recovery bootloop, and can recur multiple times.
Oftentimes the recovery you're using could be the one intended for Jellybean. What is the filename of the recovery you flashed? It should be TWRP (or Philz) designated specifically for 4.4.2.

Bless you micmars.
I can update later when home with the exact filename. I believe it was from the link rlmiller posted in the Sacs rom thread. Perhaps it was merely a bad download.
No worries. It appears that the third battery pull was the needed loving touch. I was finally able to get back into Odin and re-flash TWRP.
However, I am a bit wary of booting into recovery now.
The loop occurred after attempting a Boot Recovery from within Goomanager.
Regardless thanks so much for the swift reply.

I am in the same boat. I have tried pulling the battery started with Volume up and down with and without the home button. All I get is that red android with his patch mocking me. Thanks for your help in advance. I acan't seem to find away out of the loop. Finally got out of loop . Thanks for being so positive. That "always" answer did it for me three times and it finally worked after a day of trying
