all.
I have an i9505 on 3 UK that has been rooted for over 6 months. I've been running the excellent TW based Echo Rom but wanted to try an ASOP rom but quickly wanted to revert.
I tried to restore my Nandroid but this failed and screwed up the phone (dont ask)so back to ODIN and i flashed back to stock 4.4.2 firmware for the UK via Sammobile (NG8)
Now back to square 1 so attempted to reroot with CF Autoroot again via ODIN. all show pass and i get the black screen on the phone with the red android logo and line stating stock recovery restored. I then used ODIN to flash Philz recovery again shown as Pass, however when i try to get into recovery i get some small white text on the bkack background that is there too briefly to read before the phone reboots as normal.
The Su superuser app is there but states the Su binary is outdated and the phone has no root access.
Ive read a few methods to get round this but they all seem to follow the same process ive tried a few times now.
The Rom for Echoe is auto root so id have thought if i could get to recovery somehow i could just flash this ?
Any one any views or have i screwed up for good ? .
You will be fine.
If you want to flash a custom rom anyway the shortest way would be to just flash the custom recovery. You don't need root for that.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery and it should work.

so i reflashed Philz recovery and unchecked auto reboot. This then gives me PASS in ODIN. I guess then i unplug and try and activate recovery - but still nothing...it just boots up normally ?

GTI9505...(Bootloader i9505xxegng8)
Originally I tried philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.tar.md5
and then updated to philz_touch_6.23.9-i9505.tar.md5 with no avail.
Try redownloading it. If you say that if passes, then it should just work.
If it still fails then try TWRP. Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing.
Could it be connected to me flashing a generic unlocked UK firmware on a 3 UK handset ?
That's sorted it ! Flashed CWM recovery and am now running Echoes v28.
Thanks for the help. I was really panicking for a while.
I wont be changing roms for a while but I guess if I did I won't lose root ?

Hi mate,
Some more information would be nice.
Which was the latest firmware and which version did you want to flash?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Take a look at this, especially to the "Odin troubleshooting" part.

Hey. Thank you for the answere.
I tried to flash I9505XXUGNF6_I9505DREGNF2_I9505XXUGNF6_HOME.tar
The latest firmware was 4.2.2 (Austria 3)
I tried now another Odin version and i flashed it with PID file. The only result is that i get a recovery booting
in the top left corner but it still stucks... i cannot open recovery to wipe cache / factory reset.
The last thing i tried was to flash the original recovery. <- back to the 3 errors.
now i try another odin software with another usb port. odin passes with everything but i cannot open recovery. just stuck at Recovery Booting

Hi,
does Odin give a fail log? Or does it finish successfully?
Which Odin versions did you try?
And the firmware you want to flash now is a Austria 3 one as well? You can also take another version (but still with the same csc) in case that your current one is damaged or something like this.

Hi again.
I used Odin 3.04 and 1.85. Also i tried diffrent USB Ports.
I tried to flash CWM 6.0.4.7 Touch and Non Touch, also twrp.
It passes with all the recoverys as well with the rom from sammobile and the stock recovery rom from the other tread.
i tried with and without pit file. Odin passes everytime.
Afther restarting the phone i just get the blue (booting recovery) or the 3 error messages in the top left corner and it stucks for hours.
Iam not able to boot recovery and wipe the cache... and iam not able to boot into the system do something else.
the only thing working is the download mode.
iam out of ideas.

You can try to flash a three or four part firmware with Odin 3.09, it will wipe your device itselfs

Try flashing the recovery again with auto-reboot unchecked.
But it sounds more like a hardware failure to me.
Thank you all for your help.
And yes. It was a Hardware failure.
Just got a Galaxy S4 i9505 rotted it with Kingo Root, installed rashr went to flash something and it installed a recovery and now I get Recovery is not seandroid enforcing, but researched it up and used odin to get past that, but now everytime i try to get into recovery I get that error again.
How can I reflash a recovery that works? I have tried re-rooting again but nothing.
Now it just doenst seem to start just shows the Samgung logo and does nothing.
What exactly are you saying? That you can't boot into recovery?
Rooting has nothing to do with a recovery.
Install TWRP recovery with Odin.
You could also try flashing a bootloader or the stock rom again to make your phone boot. And root properly with CF Auto Root
I meant it like the root program I used that installed the original recovery, I have tried TWRP with odin but it says it is done but still wont boot or go into recovery
How owuld I flash the stock rom?
Was meant to click edit not double post sorry
You have to untick "Auto reboot" in odin. After twrp flashed turn off the phone and use the key combination to boot into recovery.
I think i flashed an older version of twrp cant find a link to a jar for 5.0.1
Ok i managed to get twrp working, but it still alwayss just shows the Samsung logo
Just to clarify one thing here for the audience, "Recovery is not SEAndroid Enforcing" is not an error. All custom recovery images are set to permissive mode to enable them to perform their magic. Since this is a hole in the device's security, the bootloader displays that message to let you know this. A similar message is displayed when a custom kernel is installed, except in that case the message is "Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing". Since this is an expected message, the only way to properly get rid of it is to not install a custom recovery or, in the case of the kernel warning, a custom kernel.
@Apexpredator12, with your S4 in its current state, you should flash your stock ROM via Odin and make sure your device is totally operational. After that, use Odin to install CF-Autoroot. DO NOT USE KINGOROOT! With CF-Autoroot you will have your S4 rooted. From there, if you wish you can install a custom recovery, though with the caveat that installing a custom recovery will result in a "Kernel is not SEAndroid Enforcing" message. As mentioned above, this is a normal message and not an error.
Ok thank you, where can I get a stock rom for the i505 only seeing custom ones
I am just so foncused I am used to the SP that was quite easy to do, the version I have is 5.0.1 the stocks I have found are 4.4 etc and just not sure what ones to use without bricking my phone again
If you have a 5.0.1 stock ROM, you can use that. If you really need earlier ROMs, you can get them from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com.
Yeah I was looking but they seem to be .img files which I cant seem to flash with odin
sammobile.com packages the .tar.md5 files in a zip. I don't know about samsung-updates.com, but its img files should be installable via Odin.
Currently sammobile.com is having server issues, but there should be a thread on XDA where you can also download ROMs.

You are extracting to much. You can't flash .img with Odin as far as I know. You need to flash the archive in which the .img is packed.

EDIT: managed to fix the twrp thanks allot for your help much appreciated.
Good afternoon guys,
i have a big issue with my galaxy s5 SM-G900S (korean version). I bought it as a refurbished device. Knox was on 0x1 so something may have been modified.
It came with the stock (?!) android 4.4.2 from march14. I tried to update but it returned a registration error. Probably because knox is 0x1
In any case, I activated usb debugging and tried to root the phone using cfautoroot and the corresponding root file: CF-Auto-Root-klteskt-klteskt-smg900s.zip which I still assume to be the correct one.
I used odin for flashing. The device was properly connected (blue).
Everything seemed to go smooth until the phone restart when it said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I tried several times with both odin 3.07 and 3.09 but i cannot pass this step. I also tried the method to untick auto reboot, shut the phone down manually and boot into recovery mode but it failed.
This means I am now stuck in the bootloop. I can access download mode, but i cannot reach recovery mode. Also the phone is not recognized by the computer if i try to connect it to adb, kies etc. Odin seems to connect properly still.
Alright how should i proceed now?? My actual target is to flash a custom rom. I will need to go for a dirty flash now correct? Should I flash a stock rom with odin? If yes, which one?
Please support me a bit, I am very frustrated on this topic, especially cause I still dont realize my mistake......
Merry Christmas and greets from Bavaria, Germany.

Flash the stock firmware to get out of boot loop. After flashing the stock firmware, everything should be working fine and booting again. Instead of using CF auto root, flash a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash the SuperSU zip.

Alright, Im back to stock android 4.4.2 now. Works perfect, aside from registration. If I click on "update now" it shows: SKT-USIM required.
Can someone link a detailed guide for flashing cm13? I checked the web but i still dont entirely understand.
In any case I do not want to risk going into a tricky situation once more.....
Thanks in advance.
Greets, cheet

Have you tried flashing a custom recovery from Download mode? I'd give that a go then flash a custom ROM (I assume you still want a custom ROM?)

I thought rooting was mandatory in order to flash custom recovery?.... Harry you look like a professional in this, please give me a step-by-step solution, since logically it seems the problem is in the recovery? Maybe I deleted it since I can't boot to it.... I have to root then flash recovery then flash rom, right?

Recovery comes after rooting IIRC (I rooted mine ~1 year ago so it's a bit fuzzy) so if your rooting was successful then a custom recovery flash should be possible (TWRP recommended)

Looks like it's not successful since it's not booting to android.. It just boots the loading screen, types the sentences I put in bold, and restarts again...... What to do? Flash a stock rom via odin?

Stock ROM via Odin would be the safest route IMO, make sure you use the correct stock ROM for your device (there are numerous variations)

Just Download twrp twrp-2.8.7.0-trltexx.img from https://dl.twrp.me/trltecan/ put your phone in download mode, connect to odin, select the downloaded twrp in CP and flash it. no more bootloops.
