[Q] "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" :(

I have PayPal for which I will use to donate an amount to the person(s) who can help me.
I just recently got a new GS4 becuase of an insurance replacement. I looked at the specs before I flashed TWRP. After failing to install 4.2.2 ROMS, I finally found a 4.3 mk2 stock ROM to install. I have the phone working. But TWRP is not installed. My phone tests positive for ROOT with Rootchecker
Currently I'm getting this message everytime I boot "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing"
I have multiple 4.4.2 and 4.3 ROMs I like to use on my SD card, I'd like to continue from a TWRP backup i've made using that recovery.
Here are my current specs:
Model
SGH-M919
Android Version
4.3
Baseband
M919UVUEMK2
Kernel Version
[email protected] #1
Build Number
JSS15J.M919UVUEMK2
SELinux status
Permissive
Secure boot status
Type: Samsung

The replacement phone was probably already on the MK2 bootloader and modem when you received it. Which means you had Knox pre-installed and tripped it when you rooted the phone. The "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" error message does not affect the functioning of your phone in any way. It's just a part of the Knox bootloader. You can continue to re-install TWRP recovery and flash any ROM you want. Your phone will function as normal. Just don't try reverting to the 4.2.2 MDL baseband/modem because it won't work. There's currently no way to revert to 4.2.2 MDL if you're on MK2 or higher. If you want to get rid of the message just flash the stock kernel in a recovery.
Try to be careful with your replacement phone now since you tripped Knox. It might be harder to get a replacement depending on how T-Mobile is.
No donations are needed for these kinds of things.

Ok Im flashing Infamous 4.4.2 Version 3.7 after ODIN flashing TWRP 2.6.3.1
The only reason I'm flashing that ROM is because no backups are not showing theirselvesin the Restore option, what would cause that?
Is TWRP 2.5.0.2 better?
Did I miss a step? All my actions were using odin to flash the twrp recover, and then flash another ROM, or restoring a Previous Back. Should I have flashed a rooted bootloader, or rooted firmware or anything besides those two?

The backups could either be stored on the internal or external SD card. Try switching between both and see if they appear. They'll be in the TWRP folder on the root of either the internal/external storage.
I've had no problems with the latest TWRP v2.7.0.1. If you have problems then use v2.5.0.2.
If you have connection problems after installing Infamous 4.4.2, you might need to Odin the newest KitKat NB4 modem found here.
Download the file and flash MODEM.bin via Odin under the phone slot.
Personally, since you already tripped Knox, you should just Odin flash the complete NB4 KitKit stock ROM which will give you the newest modem without having to mess with anything else or do various flashing of things. Everything for flashing NB4 KitKit can be found here. Download the full 4.4 firmware from here.

I want to use a custom ROM because of the features. Should I still flash the latest firmware, the KitKat NB4?

You will still be able to flash the custom ROM after you Odin flash the KitKat NB4 firmware. The steps are as followed:
1. Open Odin v3.07.
2. UNcheck the boxes that say auto reboot and f. reset time.
3. Power off your phone and enter Download Mode by holding down the Vol DOWN + Home + Power buttons at the same time. Hit Vol UP after the warning message comes up.
4. Connect your phone to your PC and wait for it to appear in the COM: box in Odin.
5. Click the PDA tab and select the "M919UVUFNB4_HOME.tar.md5" file that you extracted from http://www.cheatersedge.org/android/m919/M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB_FENNY_FIXED.zip.
6. Wait for it to run an MD5 check. The program will freeze and unfreeze when it's done.
7. Click start and let Odin flash the ROM.
8. When it says PASS, unplug the phone and long press the power button until the phone turns off and reboots on its own. Leave it alone for about 2 minutes and then power it off.
9. Reboot back into Download Mode and then flash the CF-Autoroot found here.
10. Flash that via the PDA slot in Odin, reboot, and you should now be rooted. You can then continue to do everything else such as install TWRP and flash Infamous 4.4.2.

Thanks for the step by step. I'm following it now. The NB4_HOME.tar.md5 is taking a long time to flash with ODIN. But I will follow it closely, if everything looks good I'll send out a donation, I appreciate your help.

Like I said donations are not needed. It does take a while for it to flash through Odin so that's normal.

It was boot looping, went into optimizing apps to something about media database multiple times. I went into the stock recovery and cleared cache and factory reset. It's trying to boot now.

[Q] Phone will not turn on!

So I flashed cm 10.2 on my Galaxy S3 AT&T, and forgot to flash the right gapps, so I did that, except I forgot to do a factory reset when I flashed them. When I went to reboot, my phone would not turn on, nor get into recovery mode. It keeps showing the Samsung logo with the little CyanogenMod figure underneath it, and keeps vibrating repeatedly while trying to turn on. This is not a boot loop (I think) because my phone doesnt even get as far as the arrow animation that keeps going in circles. All I can do is access download mode. Can anyone help me? I have tried taking the battery out multple times and waiting for the battery to charge and then trying to turn it on, to no success.

If you can get to download mode, try flashing a stock file via Odin to reset your phone to working conditions. Thereafter, you can go back to a custom ROM. Would you recall what firmware version you were on prior to flashing CM? If it was anything older than 4.3 (e.g. 4.1.2, 4.1.1), you can Odin back to 4.1.1. If you already had 4.3, you would need to Odin back to 4.3 following the instructions posted in the thread below ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660&page=3. Scroll through carefully for the file you need for 4.3. Otherwise, you can find the Odin flash-able 4.1.1 stock file on sammobile.com

I have looked at the thread but I am new to all this stuff, how do I flash using Odin?

First you will need to download and extract the Odin tool. Odin is Samsung's tool for flashing (installing) firmware. You can download Odin v3.07 via the link below ...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/772dlmuaxfgm0x2/Odin307.zip
Once you have downloaded it, extract the files and look for the executable file (*.exe). That's the one you will need to run to open Odin.
We also need to identify the appropriate firmware to flash. You did not answer the earlier question on what Android version your device was on prior to flashing the custom firmware. This is important to let us know which official version you can safely revert to (4.1.1 or 4.3). If you were an older version than 4.3, you should flash 4.1.1 but if you were already on 4.3, then you should stick to this. Either way, you can download the 4.1.1 file via this link .. http://rapidgator.net/file/681a28a5...ATT_I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_Original.zip.html?
Download the files to your PC and extract.
To flash via Odin, open Odin.exe on your PC
Click on the PDA tab and navigate to the file you just extracted. Select the file ending in *.tar.md5 (For 4.1.1, this would be I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5). Make sure this file is showing in the PDA tab.
Boot your phone into download mode and connect to your computer with a good quality micro-USB cable. Make sure your phone is recognized by Odin. You should see the message Added in the left pane.
Do not check or uncheck any boxes other than the defaults.
Click on start and waiting for firmware flashing to end and you see Pass. Your phone will reboot at this stage. You can disconnect from your PC
However, for 4.3, it looks like the Odin flash-able file has been taken offline so you would need to this via custom recovery. That's a different process so please revert on your Android version first so we'll know whether this is required or not

I was running JB 4.3, and I am planning to flash 4.1.1 as you've said. I am downloading that rom from the SamMobile site, however it is taking quite a while...
I understand that it shouldnt be a two minute download, however its been 2 hours and only 210 MB has been downloaded.
Also, I have Odin v3.09, which in the place of a PDA tab, there is an AP tab... should I place the file in the AP tab?

Please do not try to flash 4.1.1 if you were on JB 4.3 otherwise you could hard brick your phone due to the secure bootloader in 4.3. You need to revert to stock 4.3 via custom recovery. You may go to the thread below for instructions...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
1) Flash custom recovery (I would suggest TWRP because of the GUI). In Odin v3.09 use the AP tab in place of PDA. You can download TWRP for your device via the link below ...
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
2) Download the stock restore zip file in the thread above and copy to your (micro) SD card. The (TWRP) stock restore zip is also available via the following link .... http://www.mediafire.com/download/30idxwhg2hidxx2/ATT_I747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_2282014.zip
3) Flash the custom recovery file via Odin. Remove battery immediately the flashing is complete to stop reboot.
4) Place the SD card with the recovery file in your phone
5) Reboot into recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons. Hold all buttons until you see the blue flash across your screen, then release power button but keep holding the volume up and home buttons until the Android image appears.
6) Select install and navigate to the stock restore file. Swipe across screen to flash and wait for installation to be complete.
7) Clear cache/dalvik and reboot to system
If you are unable to boot to recovery, then you may still try flashing using Odin v3.09. You may follow the instructions in the thread below and load all the respective partitions. You would need to use the version that has separate flashable files as the single *.tar file has been taken down.

Just to reaffirm since I am not very experienced and do not wish to break my phone:
1) Download the twrp 2.6.3.1 d2att.tar file and flash it to my phone in download mode via Odin.
2)Download zip file on my computer, and take out the microSD from my phone, and copy the file to my microSD.
3) I am confused here because you stated to flash the custom recovery in step 1... anyways when flash is complete I immediately take my battery out to stop the reboot.
4) I insert the microSD with the zip file containing the stock rom
5) Now I should be able to reboot into recovery mode on my phone, though I could not beforehand.
6) Once in Recovery, go to Install and flash the custom stock.
7)Wipe dalvik cache and cache, and reboot to system.
Please clear up any confusion, I am very cautious and inexperienced. Sorry.

Yes, you are correct. What you are doing in step 1) is flashing custom recovery to your phone. Custom recovery allows you install zip files to your phone and is more functional and versatile than stock recovery.
The zip file referred to in 2) is the stock restore zip. This is the file you will be flashing from (custom) recovery and is the one from the following link (http://www.mediafire.com/download/30...re_2282014.zip). Once you have downloaded it to your computer, save to an SD card so you can insert it into your phone to flash.
The battery pull is after flashing the TWRP file. You then have to boot into (custom) recovery mode to flash the stock restore zip from the SD card.
You are OK on the other steps. Trust this clarifies. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

I have done everything you said, I flashed the TWRP file via Odin, and then i copied the stock zip file to my microSD and put it back into my phone.
I am able to boot into recovery, and everytime I go to flash the stock rom, midway through the flash my phone starts rebooting. Even if I try to clear dalvik cache and cache first, once they are cleared my phone automatically starts rebooting. What do I do now? The zip file is there and I can reach TWRP recovery, but the flash wont complete because my phone starts rebooting. I am at a 100% battery right now so I do not know what the cause of this could be. Please help, I cannot tell what I did wrong if I did do anything wrong.

Try installing the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte. Some people have good results with TWRP. I found Philz Touch, which is based on CWM, better for my purposes. Philz can be installed via Odin as long as you down the tar version.

Ok, something very strange has occured.
Since my phone would not flash the original stock rom, I decided to go ahead and flash CM10.2 and its gapps to see if it the problem was with my phone or with the file. Everything worked fine and my phone booted and ran CM10.2, but then I had absolutely no signal anywhere. I could confirm something was wrong because there were multiple AT&T users near me that had good signal. So then I went to flash the stock rom, and it worked. I cleared dalvik and cache like normal after all these flashes and performed factory resets, however when I flashed this stock rom, it worked but 1) I could not connect to Wifi 2) I could not use apps with root requirements, and Root Checker said I did not have root access, even though I had definitely rooted my phone earlier when I first ran CM11 and CM10.2
Should I root again? Please help, my phone is working and I can go into download, stock recovery, and normal mode.

The whole idea was to get your phone back to working state. Thereafter, you can build up on the food chain. The stock file you flashed restores the phone to near factory settings including a complete stock (official) firmware, stock recovery, resetting the flash counter. Unfortunately, it also removes root as well. You can, however, re-root in a number of ways. You may also do as Audit advised and reflash Philz Touch custom recovery which would allow you flash any custom ROM of your choice. You do not necessarily need to root to flash custom ROMs if you have custom recovery. However, if you need to use apps which require root, I would recommend you try SafeRoot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758). Very easy to use and worked quite well for me.
Finally, you should be able to restore your Wi-Fi from settings. Wi-Fi setup should have happened during the set-up process upon reboot after the firmware installation but sometimes this step is skipped. If you go to Settings, you should be able to enable and set up Wi-Fi.

[Q] Baseband and IMEI unknown after attempted unlock using fast gsm

I bought an AT&T locked stock SGH-i747 - it runs 4.4.2 with baseband I747UCUFNJ1
I tried to unlock it using FastGSM using their USB-tethered method. Their instructions (after some unrelated glitches) were this:
Unfortunately it's not possible to unlock the phone by USB with your current baseband.
It's possible to change the baseband to a supported one and then unlock the phone following these steps:
Code:
1. Install these drivers - http ... files.complexgsm.com ... SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.42.0.exe
2. Power off your phone and reinsert battery
3. Press and hold the volume down button and power button
4. Release them when the download disclaimer shows up
5. Confirm the download mode by using the volume up button
6. Connect the phone to the USB cable
7. Wait until all drivers are installed
8. Download and unzip http ... files.complexgsm.com ... Odin3_Lite_v3.07.zip
9. Start the Odin software
10. Download and unzip http ... files.complexgsm.com ... S3/i747-usa-att/MODEM_I747UCDLK3.zip
11. Click the ‘One Package’ button
12. Select the file you previously downloaded and unpacked MODEM file
13. Press start
14. Wait until the file is uploaded to your phone
15. Disconnect the phone from the USB cable
16. Now you can start the unlocking process by USB
I followed these steps and now have an unknown Baseban and my IMEI is null/null.
When I went back to the original instruction for unblocking by USB and connect the SAMSUNG client, I am stuck at
Code:
READING FIRMWAREWARE VERSION : [FAIL]
FastGSM has stopped talking to me so I can't get help from them to restore my original baseband let alone unlock the phone. Is this a hopeless case? Any suggestions on how to restore the baseband and IMEI?

Are you running a stock ROM and stock recovery?

I'm afraid so. I bought this device on swappa and it appear factory reset, unrooted and AT&T locked. So I presumed it was stock ROM and recovery. Do I need to get another one on there?

You will probably need to flash a custom recovery in order to reflash stock 4.4.2. AT&T never relased a full 4.4.2 firmware, only as an OTA update to a phone's existing firmware.
I suggest loading the Samsung Info App to determine the bootloader on your phone. If the bootloader is the NE4, this may help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/ucuemjb-to-ucufne4-firmware-update-t2808654

PLEASE post if below works with existing I747UCUFNJ1
I747UCUFNJ1 was just rolled out November 2014 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Try this solution to get you back up and running:
1) Download debrick256.img web address: androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358551786
2) Use Win32DiskImager program to flash a sdcard (card can be 16GB or 32GB), then insert sdcard into phone
IF you have a ROM already installed, boot phone an skip to step 5
IF you have a CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED skip to step 5
3) Boot into download mode ( I am sure you are now a VERY VERY HAPPY PERSON NOW )
4) ODIN/flash a custom recovery
5) Download d2att_I747UCUFNE4_bootloader_modem_4.4.2_7-29-14.zip web address: androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567720263
6) Transfer d2att_I747UCUFNE4_bootloader_modem_4.4.2_7-29-14.zip to phone (use ADB or if phone boots just use PC)
7) Reboot into RECOVERY
8) Flash d2att_I747UCUFNE4_bootloader_modem_4.4.2_7-29-14.zip
9) Install CM11 / 4.4.4 or higher ROM
Remove sdcard. Enjoy....... your phone is back to normal

I have found an APK of the Phone Info App and the bootloader version is given as UCUFNJ1.
Also your above comment seems to state that AT&T never released the 4.4.2 firmware. Does that mean I need to first get to an earlier (released) firmware from where I'll be able to use the OTA update? Sorry - but I'm new to this game, so, still learning. I get the sense that with UCUFNJ1 I can't apply most of the methods for firmware up- and downgrades?

Easiest way to fix the issue would be to flash a custom recovery such as Philz Touch for the d2lte and flash a compatible modem.

I seem to be stumbling at this first step. Odin 3.09 eventually (after 2:05 min) reports PASS when I flash a variety of Philz custom recoveries (I tried philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.tar.md5, philz_touch_6.09.something-d2att.tar.md5 and some more). However, I don't seem to be able to get rid of the stock recovery. After rebooting and starting into recovery mode (volup+home+pwr) I always get the
Android system recover <3e>
KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1
And I can't do anything with that beyond: reboot / apply update from adb/ apply update from ext storage / wipe data&fact reset / wipe cache / apply update from cache.
How can this be so locked down? What am I doing wrong?

I have never used Odin 3.09, only 3.07.
Try this:
open Odin and uncheck everything except f reset time;
attach the phone and flash Philz;
after you see Reset in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone and remove the battery;
replace the battery and boot into recovery.

Odin 3 auto re-boot - STUCK on reboot screen. Help!

I've been having some issues keeping my Tab Pro 8.4 rooted. It doesn't seem to want to stay rooted after rooting.
I installed CM13 on the device about a week ago and its been buggy as hell. I went to install CM13 updates and for that root had been lost again. When I try to reroot (using the guides provided) Odin3 works fine until the tablet tries to re-boot. At that point it gets stuck on the reboot screen and goes no further. I can't flash anything or get the device to get past that re-boot screen.
Any advice?

if you are losing root by upgrading your rom, all you should have to do is flash supersu zip via custom recovery after your rom upgrade
try holding vol - and power till you see a glip in the screen at samsung splash and let go this should take you to your custom recovery.
if that doesn't work you will need
to fix your current issue, you will want to download your stock firmware, push via odin3 (let tab fully boot) then push your custom recovery via odin3.
if your custom recovery worked with vol - and power just start here
then flash your cm13 rom, gapps, then the supersu zip

@AustinTech
get it fixed?
also holding vol+ and power takes you to download mode for odin

How do I push the stock firmware via odin3? I can get into download mode and then run odin3 but I'm not sure how to push firmware through the program. I'd also need to find the stock firmware.
Sorry if these are basic questions, but I'm not all that familiar with rooting. This is only my second device. And thanks for your help!

go to www.sammobile.com and go to firmware. then type in sm-T*** in the search bar(I believe your device is sm-t320). search then download your firmware based on your country. cellular south is US
open the zip with 7zip or winrar and extract the .tar.md5 file
after you download this go to download mode on your tab
then plug in via usb to pc make sure the com light turns green in odin
then run odin 3
click AP button
select the .tar.md5 file
wait for it to load
then press start and wait for about 20 min until your tablet reboots to the origonal setup
everything will be stock like when you bought it @ this point you will have to redo everything you did when you bought it to regain root and custom recovery

same issue

I've downloaded the firmware but what the hell is a .tar.md5 file? I don't see anything like that in my extracted files.
I also don't have a PA button on my odin3

Where did you get you firmware? I tried sammobile.com but the download was took 12 hours and both times gave me corrupt files.
I went to a different site and downloaded what I thought was the correct firmware but since there is no .tar.md5 file in the extracted files I'm thinking no...

Alright, sammobile is downloading a bit faster now so maybe in 2 hours I'll have the correct firmware. I think the site I used earlier was crap.
I educated myself on what a .tar.md5 file is as well and I think I'll be set once I have the firmware.

Yeah sammobile was pretty slow for me too. Just make sure you have your tab!et in download mode before you connect it to the computer.

if you still have problems with sammobile you can download the firmware from the samsung servers with the tool SamFirm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
also in regards to your first post, CM13 has built in root, you don't need to manually root it, if you are then that's why it's breaking to enable root in cm13 go to settings -> developer options - > root access (then select apps, adb) this setting will persist over all future flashes, to enable developer options go to Settings -> about tablet and tap the build number 5 or 6 times to enable the option.

Should update your recovery to 2.8.7.0 to be sure everything flashes correctly. You dont have to update stock rom because there is no lollipop for m919.

Thanks man!!! So I need to update recovery then flash rom and no need to worry about modem and kernel, right?

Newer custom ROMs may need a KK bootloader and modem to function properly.

Download the latest stock ROM for the m919 from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919/ . Downloading from sammobile may take a long time but it is good to have a copy of the ROM in order to flash back to stock when necessary. The file needs to be unzipped once to yield a tar.md5 file.
Download the Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.112454388,d.amc . I like Odin 3.07 because it has always worked for everything I have done to my s2, s3, s4, and Note 3.
Backup your data because the phone needs to be factory reset before booting the stock KK ROM.
Open Odin, click on PDA, browse to and select the stock tar.md5 file you downloaded from sammobile, uncheck everything except f.reset time, put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer, flash the phone, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into recovery by pressing the required button combination, wipe data and cache in recovery, reboot the phone. It will take quite a while for the phone to boot into the stock ROM, be patient.
Once the phone is up and running, download the latest tar version of TWRP for the m919 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo/
Open Odin, click on PDA, browse to and select the TWRP tar file you downloaded, uncheck everything except f.reset time, put the phone into download mode and connect it to the computer, flash the phone, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot into TWRP by pressing the required button combination. Once you are satisfied that TWRP is working properly, reboot the phone.
Now that TWRP is on the phone, you will be able to flash custom ROMs.
