Hello, good sirs.
I do believe I messed up my G920F phone.
Here are the details:
Using ODIN I installed bootloader/modem referred to in http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
ODIN tells me it's a success, and phone reboots.
Now it's stuck here, at SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 screen, with a nice little text on top saying "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I am able to enter download-mode, but TWRP I can not.
Prior to this, I used the XtreStoLite 5.1.1 ROM. Now I wanted to flash 6.0.1.
I tried flashing unikernel to resolve this, no result.
I tried flashing back 5.1.1 bootloader/modem - and ODIN fails to do so.
Am I pretty ****ed or is there a way to fix this?
I had the same problem as yours. Tried everything and no luck. But after I flashed the stock marshmallow ROM for the SECOND time, my phone was back to normal magically...
BTW, mine is 920I.
Just flash this via Odin; (If you're using G920F)
http://arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.1/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
#2 I never got around to installing the ROM, even once, though. Our situations are a bit different. ^^
#3 "md5 error! Binary is invalid." is the error I get when attempting to load the file.
I have also tried with a .tar file of a 2.8.7.1 version of TWRP, which worked, but didn't help me get into TWRP -- the boot screen stays ingrained on the screen like a childhood trauma.
I have the exact same problem right here right now !
Help please ? For both of us ?
I had same issue yesterday, G920F, 6.0.1., used Smart Switch emergency initialization, and reflashed twrp/kernel via odin
any fixes for a 920T (tmobile) user? I have the same problem, phone is stuck on "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" but doesn't go past that screen.

First off, I cannot boot into recovery so this isn't an option for me right now.
Phone: T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920T)
Firmware: Lollipop 5.0.2 or 5.1.1
**Not sure because I factory reset it this morning after updating to 5.1.1 yesterday.
Brick happened later in the day today.**
Rom: Successfully flashed TWRP this morning before brick occurred
Rooted: Yes, with Xposed Framework installed as well
So I rooted my S6 yesterday with no issue, then flashed TWRP today so that I could install Xposed. That went well until I downloaded a few modules in Xposed, rebooted my phone and the System UI kept crashing and wouldn't open. I entered recovery mode and attempted a factory reset through TWRP. Rebooted and got stuck at the Samsung logo with the "IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" message above it still, so the wipe clearly wasn't successful. After that I realized my phone was bricked/in a bootloop or whatever so I kept trying to wipe it in various ways in TWRP. I even went into advanced wipe mode and selected every option (system, data, dalvick, cache, etc...even internal storage unfortunately, which I think screwed me).
Finally gave up and went into Odin (using latest version, 3.12) and flashed the SAME stock firmware I did the last time this happened (it worked then but not this time). Basically no matter how many times I try to flash stock firmware, Odin either gets stuck or fails. Tried both a G920T firmware tar.md5 file for 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 and the 5.1.1 says passed every time but STILL does not get past the Samsung Logo screen ("SEANDROID NOT ENFORCING" message is gone now though, so I figure it did something) and the 5.0.2 firmware files just say fail every time. For some reason every time this happens all I can do is force restart the phone and enter download mode via HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER buttons but it just stays on the logo screen when I hold down the HOME+VOL UP+POWER buttons to enter recovery.
So I'm pretty much in a pickle. I'm at a total loss. I've done everything I know to do for the last 6 hours, including deleting the .md5 from the firmware files and all that mess. Can't find a .pit file in the firmware zip after it's extracted either and I've seen some threads say that I need one. I'm afraid this phone is a goner, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you in advance!
Hi !
I just want to be sure that you`ve followed the exact steps described here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/how-to-unroot-unbrick-galaxy-s6-t3110608
Good luck !
The past few days have been hell for me. I have attempted to root my phone multiples times, only to have the same outcome. I did everything I needed to do in the settings like OEM unlock and USB debugging. The problem occurs when I get into Odin. I am currently running Odin 3.12.3. I got to flash TWRP 3.0.2.0 and it installs successfully. My phone reboots, only there is a small error. Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I installed the latest firmware and tried flashing TWRP again only to come to the same result. I have skype if a professional or someone could add me there and resolve this issue, I've sought out multiple other methods to approach this issue and nothing works. My skype is EndroDesigns.

Greetings and welcome to assist. The seandroid message is normal and nothing to worry about it just means that you have a custom recovery installed. Have you waited to see if the phone reboots into twrp ? If it doesn't are you certain you have the correct twrp for your device

Yes, I've done endless amounts of research on the correct file to download. I tried every version of TWRP and every time my phone boots back up, it says the seandroid message and I can no longer go to my recovery.
Hi
This is really frustrating. I own many Samsung devices and never had any issue installing twrp, so I am not a noob when it comes to firing up Odin and flashing the image however I am stuck with this device.
I used couple guides with no success. ;( I cant get rid of the Samsung recovery and replace with TWRP. Odin says success but that is just a lie.
I tried both the lollilop bootloader and the older one then TWP with various versions (3.1x , 2.8.x) No luck.
Can anyone please provide me "working files" with "simple steps" in case I am missing out on some minor details. This is SM-P900 Kitkat 4.4.2 version.
- I flash the bootloader using the BL slot in dl mode
- I reboot to downloader again and and install TWRP
- I type adb revoot recovery
Boom, I am back to frigging Samsung recovery
Hi ,
This is a follow up
The only guide that worked for me is this one. It might be helpful to others.

I had trouble getting TWRP to take at first too. It seems Samsung overwrites the recovery upon rebooting so even though TWRP flashed successfully it just gets overwritten when the system restarts. The simple solution for me was to disable the Reboot option in Odin, install TWRP, manually shut down and then enter Recovery mode. Hope that helps. I came across this suggestion either in the thread linked to above or while googling.
Im installing into properly rooted and I have twrp 2.8.7. I want 3+ TWRP.
I flash with PDA/AP and with "autoreboot" unchecked. I power off and power+home+volUP for recovery.
Tablet enters a "enttering recovery" bootloop which can be only disrupted by going into power+home+volDWN to enter Download, and than I can flash with ODIN 2.8.7.
2.8.7 is the latest I can boot into. WHAT IS WRONG?!!!!!!!!! I lost hope, with flashing 100x
Did you try updating TWRP from inside TWRP?
Sent from my Samsung SM-P900 using XDA Labs
try do a full wipe from stock recovery . after that flash twrp selecting the ap and bl in ODIN twrp3.1....tar booth of them (AP & BL)
no no no i tried everything. but than I found out this post : https://s4.postimg.org/s3pel2ekd/this_guy.png and that solved the day!!
With p900 work perfect, but install hard. With this twrp 3.1 i install lineage 14.1, all works good.
My device has been bricked after attempting to root the device using Odin. (Samsung Galaxy S8+)
The device is stuck in a bootloop with the following accompanying error message in red on the boot screen:
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Here is what happened:
I flashed TWRP using Prince Comsy Odin. (The only Odin that actually works on the s8+)
I then booted into the TWRP recovery.
I followed a set of instructions, clearing the Cash and wiping
I restarted once then booted back into TWRP using Vol-Up + Power + Bixby
I was preparing to install Magisk & "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" according to instructions to complete the root.
After installing "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" with TWRP, the system rebooted and i was stuck in a boot loop.
I then got the error message in the bootloop "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Since then i have not been able to successfully re-flash TWRP.
I now cant enter TWRP recovery boot using Vol-Up + Power + Bixby anymore
The bootloop is about 2 seconds long and too short to enter TWRP recovery
I can enter download mode and thats all
I have gotten the EXACT official stock ROM for the galaxy s8+ in South Africa with the carrier, Vodacom. (XFV-G955FXXU4CRL4-20181228165540)
If i flash with any official Odin version, it either fails or doesnt do anything for hours...
If i flash any Official stock Rom using Prince Comsy Odin then i do get the whole process of flashing with stock firmware being successful with the result saying "PASS".
The phone then reboots and i am still stuck in the same loop saying "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
This is after countless times and hours and hours of reflashing successfully with Official stock rom
I still cant get back into TWRP to do any partitioning or formatting or anything
I really don't mind if i lose all of my data and format the phone but PLEASE can you help me get my phone to work again..."?
Do i need to wait 7 days for the official flash to work?
Is there a way to completely wipe my phone without requiring going into Recovery mode with TWRP? Since i cant get into that state anymore either because of the Error Knox block or because of the Loop being too fast.
Please, please, PLEASE....please help me get my phone to work again...
Sincerely,
I know that Odin 3.13.1 works on the s8+ G955F as I flashed the latest BTU stock yesterday so try that version. I had a similar problem with the G950F and after flashing the files I booted into recovery mode and did a data and cache wipe and the phone rebooted. Flashing a stock rom should have wiped TWRP from the phone.
Reflash your rom or a later one, don't forget to take the tick out of the auto reboot box in Odin, boot to recovery and wipe everything and hopefully you will be good to go. Rebooting on mine took around 35 mins or so when going back to stock.

My problem is fix
Trying to get TWRP installed on an old S6 (with no SIM card), on the way to getting a newer Android on it.
Device is freshly factory reset, I do not believe that it has ever been rooted.
Per
, I have been using Odin to load twrp-3.3.1-0-zerofltespr.img.tar. Odin indicates success, but after that, if I try to get into recovery mode to use TWRP (volup+home+power), I get a blue "Installing system update" screen, then a "No Command" screen. It then drops into the stock Samsung recovery screen (zerofltespr7.0/NRD90M/G920PVPS4DRC2) instead of TWRP.
Did I miss a step? I saw something about the stock boot writing over TWRP, but the sequence of operations to avoid it did not make sense to me.
Found the missing step in
Needed to uncheck Autoreboot, then VOLUP+VOLDOWN+MENU+POWER.
