[Completed] Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100m stuck on logo - only want it for audio player but how?

My Samsung went into an update last week but was interupted during the process. Now it is stuck on the galaxy logo screen. I cannot get it to go into the recovery screen but it will go into download screen. I bought a new phone so no longer need it for phone purposes or ability to connect to satellites etc. But I do want to use it as an mp3 player when I run. I cannot get Kies to recognize it and when I hook up to Odin 1.85 it stops at Nand . How can I recover my phone enough to use it for an mp3?
Thanks

[Completed] Rooting And Installing Cyanogenmod on Galaxy S5

Hello,
I have managed to successfully root and install cyanogenmod 13 onto my Galaxy Note 3.
I have been trying to do the same on my partners Galaxy S5 SM-G901F - It currently has Lollipop on it.
I connect the S5 via Odin and download mode, Select TWRP, Apply it to the phone, Odin says its passed. The phone will reboot, then load back up to the normal lock screen as if nothing has happened. Turning the phone off then rebooting in recovery mode just gives the stock recovery.
I have read online that there is a line of code that runs on bootup on the phone that checks the recovery.img file and replaces it if it has been tinkered with. When I did my Note3 I found a script that somebody had made to stop a Note3 from doing this. I cannot find the equivilent though for the S5.
Could anyone please advise, provide a solution etc? A bit stumped now.
Many thanks
Neil

[Completed] Recovery Is Not Sceandroid Enforcing... Help I Don't Get It. Galaxy J7

Ok so i tried rooting my metro pcs galaxy j7 following the instructions from this youtube video i found... I would send the link but this website won't let me. It's titled "How to root Galaxy J7" and its made by "RootAndroidz" if you would like a better idea of what I did to root it and what I might have messed up on...
Ok so i got the the last step. after completing the download of the root. the step where it says to turn off your phone and hold down the top volume button, the power button, and the home button... and wen i did that instead of showing up the screen with the options it showed a message saying "recovery is not sceandroid enforcing" i don't even know what this means. I'm guessing my phone got softbricked? i don't know man I'm not technology savvy. but i tried. either way i want to root my phone and clearly it didn't work. also if my phone now has serious issues because of this i don't know what I'm gonna do... please help. thanks. sorry if there are bad typos. i tried going back and fixing them all.
