Hey guys
So i got my galaxy s5 yesterday after my phone contract and because my previous phone was an a3 and there is no custom roms for this i was looking forward to getting my s5 and rooting, getting a custom recovery, custom rom etc but no matter what i do i cant get the custom recovery to boot thus meaning i cant root either every time i try and flash TWRP, CWM or philz it simply goes to a screen where i get the 'recovery is not seandroid enforcing' or something along those lines and then i get a blank screen and have to do a battery pull, i can get into the main system alright but just have no luck whatsoever getting into recovery does anyone have any suggestions? it is a SM-G900F and its a European edition if that helps at all
Thank You in advancew!

I actually just managed to solve it, i was using twrp 2.8.5.0 and after a bit more looking around apparently newer s5's are having problems with this, downloaded the 2.8.7.0 and it worked straight away!

Hello there!
I've successfully rooted my (Rogers) S5 Active / G870WVLU1ANH3 / kltevlactive using CF Auto Root, blowing my knox and all that, works great.
However, I'm now trying to flash either TWRP or CWM Philz for klte (which may have not been to smart come to think about that, but I recall reading it should work just fine) using Odin, and I can't get into recovery. Whenever I attempt to boot into recovery, I end up with "cannot do normal boot".
I recall reading a SafeStrap for G900 works for the G870, but I can't find the thread again, and don't want to just try and see what happens.
I've also tried flashing a recovery using either TWRP app and RomManager, I have yet to try Rashr, but since all the recoveries I've found are for klte, instead of kltevlactive, I'm slightly worried.
I'm not all that new to rooting, but I'm quite new (and upset ) at the Samsung realm, any chance you guys would know what could get me going with a custom recovery?
I also have a Xposed Framework installed, I read it could cause issues with SafeStrap, but I don't suppose it would affect flashing a rom from Odin/whatever else?
My SELinux on the phone claims to be "Enforcing", if that matters, perhaps.
Thanks!
Im having The same issue please help
Sent from my SM-G870W using XDA Free mobile app
Any luck on this? I've scoured the forums with no luck, although I see people mentioning they have it.
I am experiencing something similar. I have a rooted SM-G870W (Bell). I tried both TWRP and CWM recovery.
Every time I tried to go to recovery mode either via pressing button combo or from adb (adb reboot recovery),
my phone goes into download mode instead, I get "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen.
Have you also experienced some weirdness with your rooted phone? On mine if I go into boot into recovery
(this is without custom recovery), do nothing but select reboot, I will get "System UI stopped working".
Or "unfortunately mtp application stopped" . I re-flashed the phone with the stock OEM ROM and I don't
get the issues I sated above.
BTW, how did you get xposed framework installed. Mine said "not yet compatible with Android SDK 21 "
Thanks

I am having the same issue. Any solution?
I had the "cannot do normal boot" issue as well after doing something dumb which stopped me being able to get into recovery. Was about to flash the original firmware but flashed twrp with odin instead after doing some research. Fixed my problem easily, hope this helps.
Same story with mine
Hi There
I'm having the same issue but all they talk about here are 900 and we have G870W
If someone find any information and how to flash the 870 I would be greatfull
to them because all I could find on the internet pertains to the 900 this is infurating
and by the way any of you have that OEM button in developer?
I bet not again all I've been reading on S5 Active also mention about the OEM button
and this is total BS because we don't have a OEM button. If we can find
a site that could help use with our particular phone and not just the 900
Hello, I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my S5 Active SM-G870W using this guide and carefully following the appropriate links for my device:
https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5...ooting-Your-Phone-and-Flashing-A/td-p/2496038
Now I would like to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP, but cannot find a recommended version for the G870W. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find one, or know if any of the ones for the 900 would work on the 870? It's a Canadian version of the S5. Thanks for any help anyone is able to provide!
Does anyone know if the instructions for installing Lineage for SM-G870A/F (found here: https://lineageosroms.com/klteactivexx/) would work on my SM-G870W, kltevlactive? How much of a chance would there be it would brick it? Help much appreciated!
Hi guys,
I am new to this forum but it seems lots of you know a lot about android cutomization and stuff. I know there are similar subjects on this forum, but none really give an answer to my question.
Yesterday, I decided to install CyanogenMod 12.1 on my Galaxy S4, using the tutorial on their website (Heimdall suite, flashing CWM). I used the thread: Install_CM_for_jfltexx
First, I used the CWM that is on this webpage (6.0.4.4) but a newer version exists (6.0.4.7). I used 6.0.4.4 because this is the one referenced on the tutorial webpage. I managed to get it on my Galaxy S4. When rebooting to install Cyanogenmod, I noticed that on the top left corner, it says: "Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing". Now, it didn't prevent me from installing CyanogenMod on my phone (well to be precise, I couldn't use adb on my computer to push the content to my phone because adb doesn't find any device, but I think/guess this is completely unrelated as adb doesn't see another phone I have, galaxy s4 mini, which it used to see before...). To put CyanogenMod on my phone, I placed the .zip file on my sdcard and installed from here, with the custom recovery CWM 6.0.4.4.
It works fine apparently, but I am still wondering why I get the "Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing" while my Galaxy S4 Mini, on which I used the same method to install CyanogenMod, doesn't have this message. Is it because I use an old Recovery? Is it dangerous in any way for my phone? Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you guys, hopefully I am worried for nothing.

It is normal. It just means the kernel is set to permissive mode if I'm not mistaken. I don't exactly what it means. I guess it restricts access. Some apps that require root might have problems if it's not set to permissive.

Thanks for the quick reply!
In there a way to fix this and set the kernel in the proper mode so that applications requiring root do not face any issue?
Cheers.

There is no need. It's already as it should be.
Hi all,
I'm new to rooting and modifying my Verizon S5 - so I don't have the most technical knowledge of Android nor do I have a deep understanding of related jargon yet. Recently I was able to root my phone using jrkruse's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370). I then wanted to flash a new ROM - Resurrection Remix MM in particular. Through some research this seemed the best to my needs.
I understood that to do so I needed to first unlock my bootlader. So to do so I followed GeTex's post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/rd-unlocking-galaxys-s5-bootloader-t3337909. I followed Method 1. All was well until the step of installiong Bootloader_Unlock_Safestrap.apk to my phone. After doing that and installing safestrap again like the guide said, I went to reboot my phone into recovery mode, however, initially there was only a black screen. Then, a message told me that Safestrap was disabled and gave me the options of recovery or allowing to continue. Here is a photograph of the screen (found online, not my own imagehttp://img.wonderhowto.com/img/99/57/63530107864095/0/install-custom-recovery-new-rom-your-bootloader-locked-samsung-galaxy-s4.w1456.jpg) Tapping "recovery" brought me to Safestrap and tapping "continue" made the screen black again - no Samsung or Verizon load screen followed.
Thinking that maybe this was normal, and that I had to flash one of the safestrap bootloader unlocks, I flashed SafeStrap_PD1_Bootloader_Unlock_AIO.zip as the phone was in safestrap. After that, any way of starting up my phone showed me a small message in red at the top of my screen saying my kernel was bad or broken (sorry I don't know the message verbatim - I should, but it was a while ago and I was in a hurry to have a functioning phone ASAP for work and was immediately concerned with unbricking my phone rather) a warning sign (big triangle with a !) telling me to use VZW software repair.
If anyone can pick out specifically where I went wrong, that would be great. However, as I'm a noob and there's a lot of room for error, that may be easier said than done.
It would also be helpful if someone could tell me (or link me guides) how to set up Resurrection Remix (or any other great ROM you would recommend) on an S5 G-9000V.
Also, any general advice for a noobie looking to optimize his Android would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Love this community for how quickly and how well they help out people with troubles like this
Bumping this, looking for help.
Would love some tips, even if they're simple general direction on how to set up this rom.
Thanks all!

After you have unlocked your bootloader, you should just flash the new recovery (I use TWRP) using Odin software. Once TWRP recovery is installed, boot to TWRP recovery and flash RR RoM. Just follow the RR RoM thread and choose Verizon variance.
I don't use safestrap anymore once I were able to unlock my bootloader. Just make sure that your bootloader IS IN FACT UNLOCK, before you can flasH TWRP.

Thanks a lot for your help, but I just did some more research and found out that my eMMC was in fact Toshiba, while I had originally thought it was Samsung. Oh well! Guess I'll stick to TW based ROMs on my firmware. I was thinking of going with MOAR Lollipop.
I am very new to this. Bear with me.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
International Version SM-G928C
Used Odin3 on a PC to download TWRP-3.0.2-1-zenlte.img
I installed a custom recovery to my phone since i wanted to install some software through the recovery mode. I followed the guidelines from youtube that had screwed me. lol
The custom recovery works after a long time of wait however i cannot start my phone anymore. Every time I start my phone it goes to the recovery mode. I tried format my phone and delete every data, yet still it does not work.
My best bet is that I need a new custom recovery that works with my phone.
Question is where to find one? and does anyone have any other recommendation?

Hey guys,
Brand new to rooting, apart from watching my brother do it many years back on his and my old phones.
I own a Note 4 SM-N910U, with the build number "LMY47X.N910UXXU1COI2". I followed the rooting tutorial on here (which was made back in 2014), and I kept getting into a boot loop with the error 'Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing'. Upon research, I read somewhere that android 5.1.1 require you to flash on a custom kernal as they enhanced their security to try stop people from rooting (quickly googled; so i may have that wrong! :angel: )
Is anyone able to help me find a solution to how to get my phone rooted/flashed. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
1. From Odin, flash TWRP
2. Boot to twrp, and then flash some rom, or supersu.
3.done
Better look for xda, to get precise steps of what i said.
