[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] paustin:
Ok, so freaking help please. I've been at this for 3 hours, it is 1 am, I have to be at work at 7am and I'm ready to scream.

I have followed the OP with as much care as I possibly can. To say 'repeatedly' is an understatement.

Like several other posters, the phone is hanging on "kernel is not seandroid enforcing". Unfortunately, whenever anyone posts this, the only response is, "read the OP

carefully

". Yeah, I get it, but maybe I am a freaking idiot. I sure would appreciate someone telling me exactly

which part

I should be reading more carefully.

FWIW, I gave up and tried CF which seemed to work, but now it sits on the same boot screen, minus the "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" part on top.

Anything you could suggest would be awesome. I will try to be as thorough below as I can.

Steps

Download Odin 3.10.7 - check

Download FREEZA's BEASTMODE KERNEL.TAR HERE - Well it doesn't say which tar, and there are a couple. I tried 1.0 and 1.1

Download TWRP-2.8.7.0-N920P.TAR - Check

Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.ZIP - Check

Unsure USB and OEM Unlock are on - Done

Click the "AP" button... migrate to the KERNEL.TAR - Again, tried 1.0 and 1.1

Uncheck re-partition and hit 'Start' - Done (see attached screenshot)

>> After reboot I am stuck at "kernel is not seandroid enforcing", but I'll continue with the instructions and force a reboot back into download.

After re-boot, GO BACK INTO DOWNLOAD/ODIN MODE and follow same steps and flash the TWRP.TAR file - Done (see attached screenshot)

It then says, "Now install LATEST KERNEL.ZIP & SUPERSU.ZIP in TWRP by going into recovery by powering off the phone then press ......" But, since I am stuck on the boot screen, 1) I cannot turn the phone off to get it into recovery (holding the recovery button combo does nothing, I can only reboot into Download), and 2) even if I could boot into TWRP, since the OP does not mention putting the files on the phone in advance, how could I use TRWP to flash?

FWIW, here is the Odin Log

If it helps, I also attempted to reload from stock, as recommended, "N920PVPU1AOGD_N920PSPT1AOGD_N920PVPU1AOGD_HOME.tar.md5", it complains, "Rev. Check Fail. Device: 2 Binary 1"
