Hi XDA,
A total noob in the world of android and mobile flashing, I suddenly thought, hey I should flash my phone, apparently a big mistake on my part. Unaware that when I installed this ROM I apparently got the stock recovery instead of the CWM.
Tech Details:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105
Danish - Provider 3 (Three).
Currently Installed ROM: dr.ketan's Stock rooted roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032849
Specifically: N7105XXDMB2 N7105HTDDMA1 - Denmark (3) from 4.1.2 Feb 13
I can enter the recovery screen but only the "Stock Recovery" - My phone is unrooted - and commanding the phone to reboot in the bootloader through ADP just restarts the device normally. - The Stock Recovery gives me a Validation error no matter what RoM I try to use, even samsung stock for my provider.
If I could either root my device or gain access to the boot loader I could get CWM on it and go from there.
Can anybody see a way out for me?

Just to correct, those ROMs are stock unrooted ROM, as it is you get on kies.
You need root access for ADB command
and needs CWM to flash custom ROM. Stock ROMs you can't flash using recovery but you have to use odin.
find philz recovery and flash it, then you will have CWM. remember that will void warranty and on custom recovery(CWM), you can't reset counter.

Thanks alot for your reply. Yes indeed they were unrooted Another great example of my inexperience.
I tried doing the philz recovery through the recovery screen, it gave me the following error messages:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:failed to verify whole-file signature (Yes twice)
E:signature verification failed
I fail to see how I can use odin when I can't access download mode? (Probably me being stupid?)
Get tar version of philz recovery and you have to flash using odin.
To get download mode
Vol down +home +power

Oh My God! I love you man!
Somehow after 10 hours I must've misunderstood it was vol down not vol up to enter the download mode, I always adb commanded it to reboot in download when it was rooted.

Hi guys,
I am in a state of panic at the moment and really need your help. My galaxy note 2 (N7100) was on 4.1.1 and it used to restart every 15mins so I decided to flash the 4.1.2 via odin to fix it (as data factory reset wasn't helping at all).
So I flashed the rom (4.1.2) from sammobile through odin 3.07 and straight after the flashing process completes, the device restarts and goes to recovery 3e and gives me the following error:
Installation started
bla bla
bla bla
e: failed to verify whole-file signature (in red)
e :failed to verify whole-file signature (in red)
e: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Then if i choose to reboot device, it gets stuck at the samsung logo :'( and I cant do anything then. I can go to recovery again but even if i wipe everyyyything it doesnt make any difference.
I can install CWM recovery through odin and access it but I don't know what to do with it as I cant flash anything from there.
No matter what reigon stock rom I flash, it is not letting me get past through the samsung logo and straight after odin flash it goes to recovery 3e giving the error mentioned above.
PLEASE HELP XDA :'(

what region you device belongs to , as you said you got CWM did you try with a custom rom ?
Since u can't put a custom ROM on the sd card I suggest u take our the sdcard put put it in a adapter then download a custom ROM and copy it to the sdcard then put it back into or phone and boot into recovery wipe all the phone and then flash the ROM from SD card to phone.
Unless u got a faulty recovery then it will work this way.
Ps. You can only do so if your phone is rooted.

Thanks for the help guys...i flashed a rom through cwm and it worked...i dunno y odin flashing did not work
Hi, im new here. I here to ask. I want to root my galaxy grand duos (jellybean 4.2.2 not 4.1.2), but after i flashing CWM with odin, it doesn't work. Odin say "0 failed/1 successfully". And i saw the PASS text and my grand is rebooted successfully. After that i try to enter CWM recovery mode by pressing "Vol Up + Power button + Home". It took me to recovery mode but not CWM. It took me to Regular Android Recovery. Please help me with this. I want root my phone.
Did your device really reboot? In my case I had to take out the battery after Odin flashed cwm...
that's exactly my problem too. i can't access cwm recovery mod. it goes to stock recovery instead. i was able to access cwm recovery mod once but i didn't have superuser on my sd card. it was on my pc. so i rebooted my phone and the next time i tried to access cwm recovery mod i was unable to do so. seriously need help!!
Samsung stock flashes stock recovery on boot if a custom recovery is present... usually in cwm a notification appears when you're about to boot from cwm to ROM, asking to fix the stock recovery reflashing...

It contains the cwm recovery and step by step instructions, after flashing recovery you need to flash Fix-Recovery.zip to give cwm proper permissions. Then your recovery wont revert to stock Samsung recovery on each boot

thanks for the reply
Thanks for your reply. But still not working. I tried that 5× and still not working. I cant do anything. In normal recovery, i cant install Fix-recovery.zip or anything. I cant root my phone?.
Just follow step by step
1)connect your phone in download mode to pc/lap,make sure you have installed Samsung kies properly as odin will detect the drivers
2)check if the 'ID:COM' tab in odin is turned blue
3)now if its blue everything is fine and now with your phone connected,with 'ID:COM' tab in odin turned blue,select pda in odin and select cwm zip and untick auto reboot in odin.
4)then once u have selected cwm zip in pda and unticked auto-reboot hit START in odin.
5)after it says passed just unplug you phone and enter recovery manually by pressing VOL UP+POWER+HOME,now you should have cwm recovery
6)in cwm select install zip from sd card choose zip and select fix recovery.zip
7)after cwm says installation complete now again select install zip from sd card,choose zip from sd card and select update super su zip
8)FINALLY reboot system now and now you have a fully functional cwm recovery and have successfully completed rooting process:thumbup:

Like iceyhotguy suggested, follow the instructions in the link he provided. Here.
Just Sharing
Well i had a same experienced with CWM acting like that on a Galaxy Grand, so i just share what i done to fix it.
The first i got my gadget, i let it update and all, and choose to Root it using CWM method.
at first it was goin well, Then i start going deeper by deleting stuff on system that i think i dont need like KNOX and others (Im acctually a NOOB do help me with what can i safely
deleted). what happen next when i restart my Phone, all stuck on the SAMSUNG Logo. so i redo the usual Flashing of Stock ROM n Reinstall the CWM. but its not working anymore.
The CWM like just gone from the Phone. after fiddling around, i realise when flashing CWM using ODIN3 v3.07. "i cant uncheck Auto-Reboot", i dont know why i cant, it just like
that. Luckly i still got my old backup of ODIN3 v1.85, in which i redo all the flashing and i can even uncheck the Auto-Reboot thing. Oh because the auto-reboot its
tick off in ODIN3 v1.85, after flashing, unplug ur phone and while in its download mode, press the button to straight away go to the recovery, if u reboot it all the
flash will not work. And Pooof all my problem fixed.
Got my Phone system back, CWM and Root working unlike before. Hope this Help people havin a same issue. sorry if i write somethin wrong since im a NOOB.
Press Thanks if needed

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.
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!!!
Anyone please help!

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.

@sachin-sharma the firmwares are all the stock versions for that phone from the original all the way to 4.4.2 and i downloaded from sam mobile site. I do believe the phone does have knox bootloader is there a way for me to disable knox or remove it or work around it?

Just download custom recovery and download custom rom of 4.4.2 and flash via recovery and ur fone will boot up for sure
Most probably u have upgraded ur fone with knox bootloader and now trying to flash non-know enabled firmware or older version know bootloader firmware.... there is no way yet to remove knox bootloader so u need to flash latest firmware using recovery either stock deodexed zip or any custom rom

@sachin-sharma i have tried twrp and cwm for custom recovery and both fail with the newest firmware. What is "stock deodexed zip" ?
More or less 3 mins.
