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..?

Hello,
I recently made some mistakes with my Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 while following this a tutorial on Galaxys2root.com (Can't link to the precise article because this is my first post) I flashed the CWM recovery tool linked by this website to my device through the latest version of Odin and afterwards my phone would not turn on. I was able to get into the Clockwork recovery mode however but couldnt install anything because I had forgotten to place any ROMS on my device beforehand. To try and resolve the problem I did a factory reset in the recovery mode but this did not effect anything. I am now unsure what to do next. I would still like to root my phone so that I cant get rid of all the bloatware put on it by Orange mobile as well as update my phone to Kitkat(Currently running Android 2.2) Can someone tell me what I have done wrong and what is the next step for me to take?
Thank you for any help that you can offer
the kernel you flashed it is the problem

is this site you are talking about:
http://galaxys2root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery
im guessing that is the problem(Installing CWM/TWRP recovery will most likely break the ROM you are running currently as it overwrites the ROM’s KERNEL).
If iam right,that means you have to flash another kernel,i suggest Siyah kernel 2.6.14 its for gingerbread version(it has CWM recovery and auto-root):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838
after that you can flash the KK rom you want through CWM .
Okay, So the title pretty much says it all. I am stuck at the Samsung boot logo (not bootanimation) and it only shows for about 1 second then reboots and continues.
This started after I tried to flash a rom and it messed up and I tried to flash via odin. I was on MJ9 and and got a bootloop so I did the odin thing. I've used odin before but it is not working well for me now.
I am able to boot into download mode but TWRP no longer works. I was able to flash via odin and it says success but the phone does not reboot like it should.
I have purchased a galaxy nexus on the cheap to hold me over until the nexus 6 is out but if I can fix my note, I would like to.
I know there were other threads about this same issue but it seems that they are all on a different version of the note, or on a s3 or something. Not to mention, I don't see anything that I could try without asking for some help on here. Can someone maybe point me in the direction of the factory firmware (preferably a rootable or already rooted version) that I can flash that will play well with my note.
Thanks guys!!!

Before you tried to flash a custom ROM and things went wonky...were you on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9 firmware, or on Beanstown106’s modified 4.3 MJ9 with TWRP installed?
Does the phone still boot into stock recovery? If so, you may be able to fix the phone by doing a factory reset.

If you were on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9, then you won't be able to Odin flash back to 4.1.2 or any earlier Android version because the bootloader has been locked down tight on 4.3 (and 4.4.2) with no current do it yourself method to unlock for those newer versions. You would want to restore the phone back to factory stock 4.3 though, if that's what version you were on before your phone got messed up. You can root the phone on 4.3 with saferoot, then use safestrap recovery to flash some custom Touchwiz ROM's.
If you were on the 4.1.2 based bootloader, (but running Beanstown106’s MJ9 firmware and TWRP), then you would want to restore your phone back to factory stock 4.1.2 and then root and unlock the bootloader again with CASUAL. This would give you the most flexibility with flashing custom kernels, ROM's, etc...
Check out Section 1b in Droidstyle's restore guide at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. The guide has download links for the files you'll need to restore the phone back to the correct build version.
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

Hi All
Need an urgent help. While trying to root my S6 edge,India version! I think, I have bricked my phone. Its stuck on 'recovery is not seandroid enforcing'. Its only getting into the Download mode. But I have tried everything so far on the internet and no luck in fixing it. My variant version is - SM-G925I and the firmware was G925IDVU3DOK9.
Can anyone please help me with the steps to fix this issue!
Appreciate the help.
PS: Attaching the screenshot with the 'About the phone' details. Please let me know, if you need anything from my side.
Regards
Deeptiman

tried allsorts last 6 days, all new stock firmwares from sammmobile etc.
tried twrp etc
not sure what to do or where im going wrong.
odin wont flash any firmware file?? just gives fail after passing md5 part
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.

Hello all,
It was unwise of me to use ALL IN ONE TOOL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301720) to install a custom recovery on my i545vrugoc1 running lollipop.
As a brief record:
- I updated from kitkat to stock lollipop using stock recovery (was my only option since I live in Uzbekistan) which consisted of two packages
- I got it rooted using KingRoot (from 3d try)
- I flashed stang5litre ROM following the instructions via Flash Fire
Was more or less happy but not quite since wanted a ROM which is customizable (personally hate Samsung stock notification bar). To that end ignored all warnings and tried installing custom recovery using ALL IN ONE TOOL.
As a result my phone was unable to boot normally. Searching XDA forum I came across a solution to boot the phone from download mode.
So now I kindly ask to answer the following:
1. Can anyone provide me with i545vrugoc1 stock recovery wich I could flash via odin? I want to do so in order to be able to install the future OTA updates the same way I updated from kitkat to stock lollipop using stock recovery.
2. If first is not possible then second question is: will I be able to flash future stock updates via odin? My worry is that my stock recovery is messed up and I have no idea whatsover if it is going to affect the process.
Thank you in advance
After moving SU to the phone memory the device got stuck on Samsung boot logo and refused to boot up however much long I waited
Booting problem solved thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pment/odin-i545vrugoc1-factory-image-t3160125
