I'm stuck having this problem ever since i Flash Stock Firmware 5.1.1 on my SM-G925I
Previously, i was running on Stock Firmware 5.0.2 with Root without any Custom Rom. What i did was... I just Flashed the new Firmware i've downloaded from SamM0bile. Done! So next i just try to Root my phone again using the AndroidRootz method (which i did for my 5.0.2 Firmware) & while trying to get into Recovery Mode i get this error.
I click on my SuperSU app which was already installed on previous Root it does nothing, then i check for a Software Update it says my Device is modified.
I have this feeling is related to the TWRP.tar file i Flashed.
PLEASE HELP.....
As soon as you put on that custom recovery you will get that error on 5.1.1, I get that everytime I boot my phone with a custom rom.

So after rooting and taking the android 4.3 update, my phone worked just fine with root. Then I tried to install a custom recovery (TWRP, using the ADB method) and ever since then, the recovery is just gone. Whenever I try to boot into it, the phone boots into download mode with an error message saying, "Could not do normal boot". After that, I tried installing TWRP from the Goo Manager app. Nothing changes. I also can't find a stock restore for 4.3 or a downgrade to 4.2. Is there any way for me to get back stock recovery or a custom recovery?

First, you should have done more research. You can't install a custom recovery on 4.3 (or MJ7). The only thing available is a "questionable" root method. No custom ROMs and no Safestrap.
Second, once an update has been applied, there is no way of going back.

If that doesn't work, try this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507253.
Make sure you read ALL instructions first.
Good luck.

You can't install a custom recovery on 4.3/MJ7.
The only way to recover this is for you to flash the full-wipe MJ7 image that you'll find here in the development forum.
Then, consider reading before flashing. The I545 has a locked bootloader and can't support a custom recovery or custom kernels.

Thanks! Knowing this, I think I will just stick with root but no recovery...hopefully, something will change and allow me to unstick myself from this situation in the future.

This worked well when I had the same issue. I did lose root even with Survival Mode enabled on SuperSU, but otherwise no issues. Thank you.
about a month ago I tried to change to a new ROM on my sgh-i717R model note which was already rooted running TWRP and a custom ROM that I had installed quite awhile ago. I did not realize that TWRP had to be updated to a newer version to use the 4.4 ROMS and the update failed and bricked my phone. I managed to fix it and put back a stock Rogers 2.3.6 ROM and it put back the original samsung recovery. The problem now besides being on an old ROM there is a lot of input lag using on screen keyboard, so I want to try a new custom ROM to see if it fixes things, but when I try to flash a new recovery with Odin (TWRP 2.8.0.0), Odin tells me that everything is good and it passes, but when I then reboot my device and go into recovery mode afterwards, it is the same samsung recovery mode with only the custom binary download counter incremented, but TWRP is nowhere to be found... I have tried with several versions of TWRP and it is the same thing.

yeah it was unrooted, but you cannot root without putting the custom recovery first.. Anyways I solved the problem, for some reason TWRP does not work (even though I tried all the versions specified for quincyatt and sgh-i717) but I was able to put on CWM no problems and re-root with superuser from there.

I know this thread is a couple weeks old but I thought I'd add something that I have found that might help if someone else has this problem.
The only way I was able to install the new version of TWRP was to install the old one first while rooting the phone then download the new versions .zip and update it via TWRP. I was able to get the new version working that way and now I am able to flash any rom I want with no issues.
Hope this helps others.
I'm running on a stock rooted phone, and AT&T tells me that I have a software update available. As I tried to update, my phone restarts and it just goes straight to the TWRP screen. Any idea of what to do?
You need stock recovery to flash update.

Easy way if you have TWRP is to flash the Guru_Reset and during install choose stock recovery and say no to Root

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
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 -

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 - ?
