Are you flashing a recovery (like CWM) with Odin, rebooting into the ROM and then when you try to get into recovery you find it is still stock?
If so then the cause is the ROM. The versions LG8 and later have code to detect an unsigned recovery and replace it with stock. You need to:
- Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and place it on your ineternal sdcard.
- Get into Download Mode and connect ODIN.
- Flash the custom recovery with ODIN but do not check the "Auto Reboot" box in Odin.
- Disconnect the phone from the PC once the recovery is flashed.
- Pull the battery to power down
- Boot directly into recovery (Hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons until recovery appears. Do not allow the ROM to start).
- Once in the recovery you need to flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery.
- Reboot
All Done

[Q] can Help me? i cant Root

I cant Root
I try follow this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494435
I have the GT-I9192 with the kernel of Panama I9192UBUBMK4 a question you have this kernel? for this kernel could you do root and install cwm as is explained in this post? I just want to be root to move applications to the sd.
if anyone can help I will be eternally grateful (my phone is rebellious and do not want to root) I do as it is as I said in the explanation I get into recovery and give update from external memory I seek "S4Mini_RootKit_v1" file I give and all ok (gives error E: signature verification failed) to the end everything turned Error, not rootea not be SuperSU icon no appears and the counter no goes up to 0x1
Sorry... I am new member and I can not post a question in this post.

You're not doing it right, signature verification is an error for stock recovery not cwm
Flash recovery via odin and when the phone vibrates quickly press home+vol up to enter cwm recovery

Stuck on Samsung logo and no recovery

Hi,
My friend's note 2 got stuck on Samsung logo boot screen and whenever I access the recovery, it loads that android robot logo for a second and then restarts. I still have access to download mode, I have tried flashing a stock 4.3 rom, CWM and Philz recoveries with Odin but still same problem exists. I flashing using PDA button, should I try the bootloader or something?
The phone was on stock rom but she doesn't know the exact version and I assume it was on a 4.1.x rom.
Any help?
Thanks

Here is what you do,go into ODIN mode and get the .tar.md5 of philz touch 6.19 or twrp 2.6.3.2 flash it via odin and uncheck "auto reboot" that you see on the left side of the ODIN app,let the recovery be flashed in ODIN and once you see in GREEN saying RECOVERY PASS exit odin and using the vol down +home + power button keep it pressed until you samsung note screen let go of all buttons as soon as you see it and you're recovery will load within 5-10 seconds (twrp loads faster than philz) if you keep the buttons even after seeing the samsung note 2 message then it won't go into recovery,btw your friend's phone has she upgraded to official 4.3? or still on 4.1.2?

I tried twrp now with unchecking "auto reboot" and still same problem, I think you meant volume up not down as down will get me into download mode again.
It loads till the android robot recovery logo with the moving hollow cube , it keeps moving for a second or something "loading" and then phone restarts by itself and gets stuck on samsung boot logo again.
She doesn't know which android version she was on, she in not that much into phones so probably with factory rom "4.1.2".
After all these successful flashes, Odin still says:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System binary: Official

you might want to follow this guide and try to re root her phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696 i followed that thread to root my note II ,but do remember that guide is only for users who are official 4.1.2 or 4.3 ,if your friend was on 4.1.1 you would need to download the official firmware from your country 4.1.2 that is and then follow the rooting guide,hope it works out for you,do let me know the end result

Just one and simple Question: Can you access "Download Mode" ?
Sent from Gallifrey using TARDIS

Try Wipe data and cache
I had this problem too after i clicked on factory reset in my rooted 4.3 n7100. Found the solution from a thread but i forgot where it was.
What I did was boot into recovery and perform "wipe data and cache". After wiping data, my note 2 are able to boot again...
NOTE: you will lose your data saved in your phone once you wiped it...

Simple answer is yes. He quite clearly stated he could access download mode already in the OP.

Please OP, try multi-package firmware !

Try use odin to re flash the twrp recovery 2.7.0.0-to3g version. It fixed my loop boot with out loosing all data
Hope this work for you too

If there's a bootloop, you may have to reflash the firmware. Hopefully you have the file on the external SD.
Try to reinstall twrp or PhilZ, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and reflash the Rom anew.
Also check before whether you have the correct bootloader for the Rom you want to install! (e.g. MJ5 or else).
Greets and good luck!

Try mskips toolkit from skipsoft.net. There is a thread on here for it but it's closed because of Microsoft signatures. It has a recovery package. You may lose your data but it will fix the phone.

U said u flashed 4.3 in her phone isnt....
Just give it a try these steps..(warraty may void)..
1.Flash stock 4.3 rom once again into phone.. After reeboting remove battery.. Then put it back.. go into download mode
2.flash CF-Autoroot with odin (dont forgot to chek reeboot on odin). .
after reboot cf-autoroot autimatically starts its rooting process...(if it starts u won half the way)
If u have luck it will reboot into system..(wait for 5 mins in boot screen)
3.If it doesnt... try flash philz touch using odin into phone..
In most cases philz touch flashed after cf autroot fites the custom recovery... .
sometimes knox enabled bootloader wont fire custom recoveries instead it fires stock recoveries

[Q] Note 3 "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"!!! Help!??

Ok, So I just bought the Tmo Note 3 and was looking to root it
I went on youtube and found the Auto-root method
I downloaded the auto-root files, open Odin, put the CF-Auto root.tar.md5 in the PDA section of Odin and clicked start.
when it was done my phone rebooted into a screen with 3 lines on top saying
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
Can anyone please help me?
Phone was on 4.3
I can also still go to Download mode but cannot boot into android or into a recovery it just boots to those 3 lines above.
Help?

The same thing happen to me when I tried installing clockwork mod recovery and twrp recovery. I had to go to the website sammobile.com and download the original firmware MD5 file (2,218,421kb) put the phone in download mode and re flash the whole thing and start over. I still can't get a custom recovery to work. Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks

Reflash the recovery.
Mine shows the same, pauses and then boots into the recovery (TWRP in my case).

Today a miracle occurred.
I have a n900-p Sprint that was rooted months ago and today I stupidly was messing with ROM manager and hit "reboot into recovery"
My phone went in to a boot loop with this "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message right before bed time and I was in boot loop hell.
Some quick googling brought me here and gratefully I used some of your info to save myself on first try.
Step-by-step for any Googlers passing through:
1. Download Odin and your stock android rom (by pure dumb luck I remembered the last three letters from when I was screwing around on the settings screen earlier in the day.
2. Run As Administrator Odin and put your phone in download mode (pull battery, wait ten seconds, hold down VOL down + Power + front key)
3. Plug in your busted phone
4. Hit AP button in Odin and find your stock android rom you d/l earlier
5. after you get a blue box under ID:COM in Odin, hit start
6. pray
7. boom, when its done everything is back to normal.
If a monkey as dumb as me can pull it off, so can you. Good luck internet strangers.

PLEASE HELP Note 2 wont boot past Samsung screen!

Hey everyone, 1st off thanks to all the great people here that take there time to help and give back, much love and respect!
So i have a Note 2, i was using it last night, and it just froze! So i waited and waited, nothing! I tried to power down, nothing, so i popped the battery out and it restarted and stayed at "Samsung Galaxy Note II"
I tried many many times to restart and power down, still come back to the same result!
My phone is:
Note 2 SGH-T899V (wind mobile)
I downloaded odin v3.09, i loaded samsung drivers, i downloaded T889VVLUDNE7 from sammobile.
I put phone in download mode, attached cable loaded file from odin(clicked and unclicked all the correct boxes) and everything "Passed" on odin
Phone reset and got stuck again on Samsung screen. So i
Pull out the battery, wait for about 1 minute and then put the battery back in its place.
Boot the device into Stock Recovery mode by holding down Volume Up, Center(menu) button and Power keys till the Samsung logo appears.Use the volume keys to scroll and power keys to select recovery menu options.
From the menu, wipe data by selecting wipe data/factory reset option followed by wipe cache partition. Finally reboot the system by selecting reboot system now.
and still it is stuck in Samsung screen.
I then installed CWM 6.4.3 with no problems, went into recovery wiped user and cache and installed zip from sd card. It would try and then "INSTALLATION ABORTED"
Re Downloaded zip tried again, same thing "INSTALLATION ABORTED"
Flashed CF Auto root, then went into recovery and tried to install from zip and "signature verification failed"
flashed CWM again, tried install "installation aborted"
Guys where am i going wrong, or what step did i miss? Please help!!!

Actually I dont own this device so I dont know which firmware version are they ..... any chance you have flashed knox bootloader and these firmware don't have know?
And you can only flash zip files in recovery and I think you are trying to flash .tar file using recovery?? Thats y it is not getting flashed..... do this download any latest custom rom zip and flash it via recovery it will surely fix your issues

to what i know it would take some time for a newly flashed android device to boot out of boot logo.
