So I am trying to root my Galaxy S6, Sprint model, Android 5.1.1, running the latest OGA firmware. After seeing people's success stories about how the previous version of UniKernal worked fine with the new update, I decided to root. When flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 to the Galaxy S6 I get the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message in red at the top of my screen. Holding Volume Down and Power resets the phone and it boots up like normal. How do I get rid of the error?

You need TWRP 2.8.7.1 for Android 5.1.1
If you flash only the recovery and let the phone boot, the system will override it back to Stock Recovery. Flash the kernel, then the recovery and it will stick.
Not Seandroid Enforcing is normal

Where do I download 2.8.7.1. All I can find is 2.8.7.0.

So two days ago I thought about installing Vision X rom on my Note 3 (T Mobile).
I downloaded the ROM and then backed up my current ROM (nandroid). I had Phillz touch recovery then.
Then I thought about going to TWRP and thus I downloaded the latest zip for my phone and flashed it via Phillz upon trying to reboot into recovery it got stuck in the screen "Rebooting Recovery...".
When I restarted it would still try to reboot into recovery and get stuck. I got out of that by going into download mode and then selecting "Restart Phone".
After that I looked for solutions and upon failing to find any I thought about going back to stock and starting from ground zero. I managed to flash the latest stock using Odin however I forgot to do a factory reset before hand.
When I tried to do a factory reset in my, now stock, phone it failed and then got stuck trying to get into recovery. It would flash "Rebooting Recovery..." then restart and flash that in a loop.
I have lost my root as well in the process and trying to root using Odin and CF-Root just get's me back in the recovery boot loop. I can use the phone OK however this is not a stable situation.
I'm sure I've made some serious errors in the tinkering and would like to get my recovery back. I really love Custom Roms. Any kind and knowledgeable souls out there to help me in my cause?

Go to the Playstore and download TWRP Coordinator and then
use it to install the latest TWRP recovery for your phone.
Once you can get back into TWRP recovery you need to flash
the cf-autoroot for your phone. Be sure you flash the CORRECT
version of cf-autoroot for your phone's model.
Good luck!

The app is constantly crashing!
It would start for a second then close. I tried the TWRP manager as well with the same result.
I've lost root access when I Odined back to stock, won't I need root access to install new recoveries?
Sounds like you flashed the stock 4.4 firmware and now need recovery to root. Flash this TWRP file using Odin http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Once you flash it, you need to boot into recovery to install supersu to root.
Switch off the Galaxy Note 3 (remove the battery and reinsert if needed)
Next, press and hold simultaneously Volume Up, Home and Power.Release the buttons when the screen flickers and wait for the TWRP menu.
Select Reboot, then System and install Supersu for root.
Once booted, open Supersu to update it and grant permission.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Hey Need some help.
Updated to the NF4 update on KIES. Rooted my phone with CF auto root everything worked fine. Then proceeded to flash CWM recovery touch. Now i am stuck in boot loop. I cannot get the phone to start in download Mode to odin the .MD5 or the stock recovery to get my phone to boot.
Phone starts.. says
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
SET WARRANTY BIT : recovery
sits there for about 10 seconds,
then reboots.
Anyone know how i can get this thing back into download mode so i can ODIN the .MD5? Or did i just brick my phone.

Here is a sure fix for the rebooting issue,
odin flash TWRP recovery and like magic
you will no longer have bootloops.
Here is the direct link for the latest TWRP for N900T:

Good luck!
I installed the latest version of CWM after finally rooting my Note 3 (N900T). Now, when I try to boot into recovery, it does the infamous loop boot with the message "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". I essentially have to pull the battery, reboot into Download Mode, then hit Volume down to boot up.
Did I miss something in the process? I made sure to flash to the latest revision.

Lots of people have the exact same problem you have,
here is the fix or the cure, whichever you want to call it.
Download and flash TWRP recovery, it's that simple...

Ok, I made a mistake when using another ROM, and had to flash stock firmware mentioned above because I had OEM unlocking turned off at the time.
The problem is, now when I install TWRP or unikernel for root through odin, it says, depending on which I try to boot,
KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
or
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANFROID ENFORCING
Using odin.
and the touch screen is completely disabled. The only way to get touchscreen working again is to flash stock firmware again.
What do I do? OEM unlocking is turned on. What am I missing?
Does it have something to do with installing a ROM and choosing that Samsung option of security/remote locking or whatever during setup?
I cannot figure out what to do. As soon as you use kernel or recovery that is not seandroid enforcing, the touchscreen becomes unusable.
---
Also, as I try to fix this, is there a way to just extract only the kernel from this firmware so I can reflash just it if this happens again? I tried just extracting boot and recovery via odin but recovery doesnt resolve the kernel error and boot just makes it reboot in a loop.

this one worked.
After that, using twrp manager from google play then letting it install twrp worked.

Reboot to bootloader and flash stock recovery
Yep and if it works flash blu-spark twrp it should be fine.
Yeah, I went through a lot of steps, but basically install stock recovery v2 and let it restart. Once it succeeds or fails, it will go back to normal, and you can flash whichever recovery/rom combination you prefer. I don't have the official url, but this one seems legit:
