Hello,
I have been trying to flash TWRP to my SM-G925F and whenever I boot it says: "Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing." (If this happens I just flash the stock recovery back and it works)
Is there a way to turn off "SEAndroid" or am I flashing the wrong version of TWRP onto my phone?
Please reply quickly because I would really like TWRP!

As far as I remember, flashing a custom recovery gives you that message. It's been like that for years which points me to the fact you're either new to Samsung or new to flashing a custom recovery on a Samsung

normal..which version you tried..
here is the guide

Hello, I am using the 2.8.7.1-zeroflte TWRP recovery for the normal S6 not the S6 edge, would that be the problem?
not if it work..that sentence is normal..as it's because of the system write protection / security from 5.1.1 you have to live with that
It's not as intrusive as In past devices eg note series that I have rooted. And it sure doesn't effect functionality. You'll be looking more at the home screen than a reboot screen (unless your a dev lol )
I am having the issue with my phone.... I rooted phone with a 5.0.1 recovery on 5.1.1 rom. Now its stuck in a loop at SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 Edge
Logo. With Recovery is not SEANDROID ENFORCING. Any one please help.
having the same problem! trying to install twrp 2.8.7.1 on my s6 flat g920I, with 5.1.1 stock! installing through odin, when i enter twrp get this message, and after reboot im stucked on a loop

Why don't or can't you flash any rom specific to your variant in TWRP that you now have?

sometimes it hangs at samsung logo and sometimes it restarts.
Hello guys, i tried to root my G925F using the howto without tripping KNOX.
First i flashed the engineering Bootloader without any error messages in Odin. AFter that i flashed TWRP from the Thread and from there on the phone doesn't boot anymore, only the splash screen appears and nothing further. I tried to install lower versions of the TWRP. 2.8.6 , the stock recovery, other bootloaders....nothing.
My phone does not boot anymore.
Is there any hope i don't need to throw it away? Dammit i bought it yesterday and in the Thread was written it works with 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 but it doesn't work with 5.0.2.
What can i do? If maybe try to flash a stock rom ? I am really desperate, yesterday my Galaxy ALPHA died and now this..
1. try using twrp 2.8.6.1 flashed through odin
if that doesn't work then
2. download kies 3 and then plug your device in, go to tools at the top and then firmware upgrade and initialisation, enter sm-g925f in the model number and then when it asks for your serial number then enter it from the back of the phone. (its in really faint writing) then follow the onscreen instructions
should sort it out
see at the people that flashed it on 5.0.2 it works..
you are sure having 5.0.2 because if you have 5.1.1 it will not boot if you not flash the kernel and the supersu
you can enter recovery..?

Guys,
I update my bootloader and modem to 5.1.1 to install a new rom, I flashed via Odin and pass! But my phone got stucked in the S6 Edge screen on start.
I tryied to flash my nandroid but it was a 5.0.2 rom and I read that the bootloader 5.1.1 don´t downgrad to 5.0.2.
Resuming: The stock firmware 5.1.1 for my version G925I (ZTO) Brazil haven´t release yet.
The emergency recover from Smart Switch try to go back to 5.0.2, but fails in the process.
I tryied to flash an 5.1.1 version from Indian, and UK.
Sometimes pass in the Odin, but when my phone start, after the S6 Edge screen, appears a light blue screen and a Android and begin install. In the middle stops and show the message " Erasing" and the phone keeps rebooting.
Note: Sometimes the same firmware fails in the Odin, and I just flash again and Pass...
I have already tryied to remove the Hidden Img and flash. But goes to the same loop i´ve described.
My hope now is wait for the 5.1.1 for my version (ZTO) and try via Smart Switch or via Odin...
Anyone have any ideas? Thx :crying:

Here is a guide, if you did anything wrong with flashing bootloader + modem. Try it again and read every step carefully and BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT MODEM + BOOTLOADER! The models are just under the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60112855&postcount=3
After that find a G925I 5.1.1. As long as it's the right model, it should work. Doesn't matter if it's for your own country.
You're seeing "Kernel not seandroid enforcing" or "Recovery not seandroid enforcing" on the top in red when trying to boot, right?
If so, this should fix it.

Thx man, but I fixed removing the Hidden.img, cm.bin and sboot.bin files in that were inside the .tar file and Flash! WORK!!! Now im with 5.1.1
Hi folks sorry I'm a bit new to all this...
I successfully flashed s6 unikernel to my 925i and got root.
Then I flashed a TWRP recovery image that made my phone get stuck on the boot screen with "recovery is not SEANDROID enforced" and ended up (somehow) doing a wipe/restore without actually downloading the firmware.
My phone is now working but showing "Kernel is not SEANDROID enforced" when it boots, still has root and Flashify shows my current kernel as S6 Unikernel and my current recovery as TWRP 2.8.7.1
I am hoping to flash the crisscross rom (once it downloads) and wondering if it is safe to do so.?
Any advice would be really appreciated thanks!!
İt is normal.The reason is lollipop's new policies. İf you dont want to see that you can use arter kernel but there arent anything to do for recovery.
Does anyone know of a system to root the new samsung marshmallow 6.0.1
i've tried the system with 2 bootloaders,
i've tried carhdrom and the samsung themes in settings is gone and i can't get to root,
so i installed the new marshmallow that samsung just posted but i can't root it with whatever old suggestions
can anyone help please
much appreciated,
sincerely
I'm also struggling.
I've flashed stock 6.0.1 (from 51.1.) and tried to flash TWRP but I get the 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing'.
Help!
seandroid
this only means you don't have a stock samsung rom and possibly you knocked knox for service, if that keeps up at nite.
i've installed criscross new marshmallow but i lost the samsung themes option in setting,
it has a huge stock of very nice themes for free.
have a hunch that because the rom is very fresh no one has come up with a solution
let me know if you succeed.
good luck

It's a stock Samsung rom. Getting the message doesn't bother me and neither does tripping knox, but it bothers me that rather than booting into recovery I get the 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing' and nothing else. I have to boot into download mode and get back the phone back from there.
Download space-x kernel and supersu2.67.apk from
Here -
https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQOWRXazlJU1ZoV00#list

Wait for ur mobile to boot (takes time!)
When boot finished install supersu2.67.APK.
Enjoy.....

SM G925F???
Hi there will this root method work for the international SM-G925F version?
Greetings Dudes / Dudettes
So I have the kernel flashed and SuperSU installed but still I get "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" when trying to boot TWRP..also tried Philz same no dicee :< = no custom roms right ?
How can I fix this apart from flashing an older rom....
EDIT:
If somebody else is stuck in the future google OLD_BL_TWRP_2.8.7.2.tar it gave me a working recovery :>
EDIT2:
What appeared to be working was all nice and all but then the current stock marshmallow rom would not boot up.
according to the guys at twrp site, they do not have as yet a formal twrp version for marshmallow for the g925f
i tried just about every version out there none worked
what i want to know is how do i flash a custom rom WITHOUT TWRP - ?
