[HELP] Galaxy S4 stuck on "Recovery Booting". - General Questions and Answers

Hi, after some research I have come to you to I hope fix my problem.My Galaxy S4 (I9505, no root, stock ROM) one day, after usual charging night, did not wanted to boot and got stuck on the samsung logo, and either get stuck or bootloop.
So after some research, I decided to flash with a stock ROM via Odin.But after everything done, the phone boot and is stuck still on Samsung logo, with at the top left written "Recovery Booting" in blue. The phone won't boot, is stuck on the samsung logo, can not go on recovery mode (stuck on samsung logo, "recovery booting" written), only download mode is available.
How can I fix this ?
Thanks.

Try flashing a TWRP for i9505 in .tar format via Odin then boot to recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik/Art cache and then reboot to system and see if that helps, if it still won't boot you can try connecting to adb and using adb to format cache partition and to format Dalvik/Art cache then reboot to system and see if that helps.

No, if it won't boot to recovery then try booting to system normally and if it still bootloops(stuck at logo), see if it will connect to adb, if it does you can clear cache and dalvik then try rebooting normally.
Try flashing TWRP first though because you'll have to be rooted to try adb. If TWRP works you can flash SuperSU.zip to gain root then you can wipe cache and dalvik and try rebooting, if it is still stuck then we move to the next step in troubleshooting.

Thanks, but the TWRP does not work it just written "recovery booting" ; "recovery is not seandroid reforcing", and "set warranty bit: recovery".
So I am going to try adb, but the phone is not rooted.

Ok, so I try with adb but it do not recognize the phone.
Any solutions ?

[Q] HELP galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3113 stuck at samsung logo screen

i was trying to reset to stock rom using odin 1.85 and firmware from the sammobile website , from what i have, which is cm-10-20121106-NIGHTLY-p3113
after that the device reboot and stuck at samsung logo screen
i try to boot into download mode but i doesn't work and i try to connect to my PC and my PC will do nothing and shows nothing so i cant re do it
what should i do now?
Are you able to reboot into recovery? If so, you can try flashing another rom, CM 10.2 Nightlies for the P3110 work without issues on P3113, seeing as your nightly build is from 2012...
ok i can boot into download mode now, but cannot boot into recovery mode, and i try to restore to stock firmware using the md5 from sammobile.com but afterward it still stuck at samsung logo screen help!
you need to do a factory reset in recovery. try to boot into recovery directly from download mode
---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------
maybe try flashing a customrecovery e.g. CWM with Odin
Factory reset from recovery?
First off, thank you since i am having the exact same problem (same cm nightly, no access to recovery, etc.). So, once i flash CWM via odin and factory reset, it should be all good?
I'll let you know if it works
UPDATE: As soon as i enter CWM, it loads with the android with the spinning cube in its chest in the background. It then asks to install UNTRUSTED.zip. What needs to be done?
UPDATE 2: I rebooted into recovery again and it worked. Factory reset and cache wipe did the trick. Again, thank you Android-Andi. Toshiwan, i hope you get your issue resolved
but i cant boot into recovery mode, only download mode, and if i try to turn off the tablet from the samsung logo screen, it will just restart and stuck at logo screen again. so i have to wait till the battery dies and wait another half hour to charge battery and then get to download mode, it's very hard for me help
didmyou flash CWM?

Did you flash the CWM recovery? Try version 6.0.45. Then, it may not load the first time so reboot till it does. Then, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

Stuck on Splash Screen (Cannot Get into TWRP)

I flashed CO15 Bootloader and Modem in ODIN. Reboot went fine. Held down power and tried to reboot into recovery. Stuck on splash screen. I can only get into Fastboot. I installed TWRP through ODIN but still can't get into recovery. Not sure what to do?
Stuck on Samsung Galaxy note 5 Screen
On top of screen in red text: RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Tried holding Volume up, Power, Home to enter recovery but not working
re-flash coi5, and let it boot all the way out.. at this time (for me) it will bootloop at the tmobile screen. catch the reboot with vol up + home + power, and let whatever happen happen (for me it said no instructions or something after the little green man) then click down to factory reset/wipe data, click that, then let it reboot all the way out to home screen.
THEN flash the stuff yo uwant.
I tried to reflash twrp and the boatloader and the modem but none of that worked. I had to download and extract stock firmware package(over night) because sammobile has very slow download speeds for free users. This morning I flashed package, rebooted into fastboot and flashed Twrp and was finally able to boot into recovery and restore.
Thank you

Do you still have the RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING on the boot up screen? Instead of recovery mine says "KERNEL is not seandroid enforcing" and I'm not stuck in a boot loop. And I'm assuming that after you flashed the stock firmware you attempted root, and after root was the message gone?

The "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message is normal for having a custom recovery installed & should only appear when booting to custom recovery, well for TWRP anyway.
The "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message will appear for a number of custom kernels on every bootup, at least in my experience. I don't get this message when using arter97's kernels.

The usual: recovery is not seandroid enforcing! FIXED

OK, I know this is a problem that many before had and I've researched the subject thoroughly. But I've only found ways to recover your phone from the soft-brick (one of those fake rubber bricks used in movies:laugh status which was something I did by myself by flashing a stock recovery via odin.
Now my problem is a different one: I have updated my s6 to stock 6.0.1 and all went fine. I then rooted the phone by installing SpaceX kernel and went on to flash recovery via odin. That is when the problem occurred and I've not been able to solve it. I tried flashing also via flashify but with the same result, i.e. phone frozen at the samsung galaxy s6 screen with the damn "recovery is not ......".
What could I try? Anyone knows how to circumvent this issue?
Thanks for any help.

Just flash this TWRP http://www.mediafire.com/?16c1zxj8gdz3mj4 (AP in Odin with F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot checked), it will boot automatically to recovery,
You will have a working recovery, but it can't reboot or shutdown the phone.
For that, click to "Advanced", "Terminal", and when the keyboard shows up, just type "reboot" or "halt"(without the ") et click on "enter".
Reboot: reboots the phone (the phone will reboot in system)
Halt: shutdown the phone

Thanks: I will try that right away and report back here. Is the procedure of rebooting and shutting down the phone permanent or is it just the 1st boot (I sense it is a permanent thing, but I hope it isn't). If, later on I flash a custom rom and then re-flash the recovery, will this thing go away?
Why is this seandroid thing happening? Are you able to explain it to me?
It's not permanent
Just the first boot. "It erase a boot script that say to your device to boot into recovery" (small explanation, it's not exactly that).
This happen sometimes when you try to update the Su binary via the SuperSU app (it try to reboot the device into recovery, but sometimes it doesn't work and the device is "stuck" on the recovery)
This message shows up on every boot if you have a custom kernel, and if you boot on recovery, it will maybe shows up (depend of your recovery).
It was stucking on this screen because the recovery that you tried to flash is not compatible with marshmallow bootloader. The link in my first answer is a working marshmallow TWRP, for S6 (not S6 edge/+).

Woohoo! It worked! I have a custom recovery, although i have to reboot the phone with a crank
Thanks a lot. Now I'm gonna go on messing it up some more!

Alas, it seems that it is permanent! It doesn't reboot into anything (neither system nor recovery. Haven't tried download, but I assume it would be the same thing). Furthermore it gets stuck and needs to be rebooted by pressing voldown and power. then it turns on into recovery again. It is a small price to pay, so no worries, but I always like to understand why things happen!
Could I have done another mistake?
Out of interest what random recovery did you give him? lol
Try arter97s mod of twrp 3.0.0-0
http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/recovery/twrp/g920fi/
Seems to be the best working mod of latest twrp at the moment. No issues booting etc, just no USB otg support currently.

Oh yes!! This one really works all the way, reboot and all. However, af as you know, is there any of the previous version of TWRP that "agrees" with M bootloader?
Thanks mate

ManhIT modded recovery not a random recovery you know :mrgreen:
Haha, I was just wondering since it was just a mediafire link saying flash this.
Glad that arters recovery worked a bit better for you.
Recovery's are a bit hit and miss at the moment. That's the best one I've found so far.
I still haven't even got marshmallow, still rocking the latest lollipop which suffers similar problems.

Oh okay, I'm french and I found this link on a french forum...
I used this recovery on my 920F and apart the reboot, it's working perfectly !

[AUS] Samsung Galaxy S6 - Can't flash anything. Bricked phone.

Hey,
So I'm attempting to flash a stock ROM from Samsung on my S6 using ODIN and download mode. It does not allow me to do so, there is a 'FAILED' dialogue in ODIN and on the phone, it says 'SECURE CHECK FAIL: BOOTLOADER'. I tried Googling the answer and nothing showed up at all. How can I fix this problem.
BTW, I've tried flashing TWRP, CMW, a custom ROM, stock ROM, a custom bootloader, a custom 'pit' file and tried using Samsung Kies' emergency restore feature, none of which worked.
Did you try booting into recovery mode, wiping everything and flashing from a USB OTG flashdrive?
Hey guy... try this, flash newest CF AutoRoot by ChainFire via odin... then let it finish and boot... now your rom should back to stock recovery.. then flash arter97+twrp... now you can restore (if you have one) or flash new rom via custom recovery.... good luck.

S6 Stuck on Samsung S6 powered by Android screen

Hi everybody,
I guess i need some help, i got a S6 with a strange problem. It's stuck on the Samsung S6 powered by Android screen.
I tried almost everything. It's not my own phone so it's kinda hard to know exactly what caused the problem.
The story is that it was running perfectly with some custom rom, when using skype it suddenly shut down and got stuck on the logo. Now, i can go into download mode but not into recovery. So, i flashed twrp with odin with no problem, odin says completed. But when i start recovery it only says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and stays on that combined with the s6 boot logo. After that i tried flashing the stock rom again with odin , also going perfectly but same story , stuck on logo. I also tried 5.1.1 , 6.0.1 , bootloader, kernel, etc etc but all of them same story, stuck on logo....
Now i tried restoring the device with smart switch, and it did that perfectly with no errors, but after it got finished it restarted and u guess it...... stuck on logo!
So... i'm running out of ideas, any of u got some?
Thanx in advance
go into what recovery you have, stock or custom and wipe dalvik and cache and reboot then wait up to 15 mins

If that was possible.... Recovery doesn't boot, i can only go into download mode. I can flash a recovery (or rom, bootloader , modem ,everything) without any problem with odin (no errors) but that's it. When trying to boot into recovery it just gets stuck again.
Keep trying to access twrp via key or button combo
Any update on this?
SM-G920F - NanoRom
If got the same Problem is there any Help ????
Maybe you are doing the enter into recovery button press timing wrong, etc. Its easy to mess up. Keep trying to get into recovery or give the phone to someone else to try enter recovery. The phone needs to be off first.
OR if you reboot via volume down and power which is what you have to on s6 since there is no battery to remove, you need to quickly switch t volume up power and home.
Enter in download mode flash TWRP WITH ODIN. THAN REFLASH A STOCK OR CUSTOM ROM.
---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------
In other words:reflash TWRP with ODIN. It will reboot straight into TWRP after flashing

When you get to the download mode don't press volume down to enter. Instead press vol up + home + power to enter recovery. This has worked for me so I'm sure it will work in your situation. Good Luck
And when you are doing the button combination to get into recovery, try not releasing any of the buttons until you see TWRP image
