I was trying to root my phone and get a message that says 'kernel is not seandroid enforcing'. Not knowing how to fix that I decided to do a factory reset and upon reboot get the error 'failed to mount preload (no such file or directory). I have a galaxy note 5 for T Mobile. The phone isn't unlocked. Can anyone help?
Anyone have any ideas?

Turn on the phone, and when you see kernel is not seandroid enforcing press and hold Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Down to cancel. Now wait for it to reboot, it should boot up normally.
I tried that, but it takes me back to the same screen that I was getting the original error

Update it via Smart Switch.
This worked for me
So I tried all this. This finally worked.
What I did was from power off, help up volume, home button and power button at the same time. Then I pressed wipe cashe and then factory reset and went down to yes. Then I turned the phone off even after it failed and got the continuos error. Then I turned the phone off. Then I pulled the battery and waited approximentally 1 minute. Then I put the battery back in and put the back cover on it. After that, I help the up volume and power button only (NOT THE HOME BUTTON THIS TIME!). Then I waited approximentally 3 minutes for the logo to just flash samsung over and over again and then BAM!!! It worked.

was with the original rom lg. and then went instalr the recovery of the cyanogen rom manager app, and then hung up the phone and now the message appears in red at the top of the screen
"Critical Failure: Unable to start Kernel.
Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000002)"
and I can not get into download mode to install the original rom again.
and now what do I do? I lost my phone?
you flashed cwm without unlocking your bootloader. re-flash latest jellybean kdz file for your phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723, then read some more about unlocking bootloader, and then start again.

but now I am unable to get into download mode on the phone. is
" Now just hold down vol - key ( hold hold hold dont release !!!! ) and plug the USB cable until you get screen like this :-"
he does not. whenever I do this it only vibrates strong and goes to the screen with the error message. I do not know why that. remember one time it happened to me already but can not remember how I resolved it is possible to even lose the download mode?
Its not possible afaik. Are you sure you are holding only vol - key and plugging in? Dont hold power key!
yes, I'm almost the whole day trying to get into download mode by pressing volume down + connecting the usb. and whenever it vibrates strong and hangs on lg logo. tried to volume up + usb connect. and no download mode. I'm going crazy with this phone. otherwise hesitate to hard reset? or other shortcut to download mode?

hard reset wont help you, as far as i know, you somehow need to enter s/w upgrade screen. did you try it with battery out?
he battery of the same error, and no battery it does nothing, or vibrate, or flash screen, nothing happens
Will I not be able to see my optimus running again? :crying:
it is not possible to load the kernel, what could I do?

Hi Raphael20 and everyone else,
Did you manage to figure out a solution to this? I have the same issue, i.e. cannot start my phone by holding the power button. Not even when people suggest to get to the S/W Update screen by holding the Volume down + plug into the computer.
I got to this error when I tried to do a factory reset. I installed the ClockworkMod Recovery. Then the factory reset via Volume up + Power button gave me the "Critical Failure: Unable to start Kernel" error. I somehow managed to get access to my phone by holding the Volume down + plug into the computer. Then tried to do a factory reset via the system settings of my phone. My phone restarted and then gave me the "Critical Failure: Unable to start Kernel" screen of death! Now Volume down + plug into the computer gives me the "Critical Failure: Unable to start Kernel", no matter whether I have restarted my computer and I have tried another computer. It seems that the bootloader is wrecked.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Wiped data cache AND dalvik, flashed to Malladus, installed GApps and LGApps at the same time. Been sitting at the android animation for at least 45 minutes all three times and still wont boot. I'm downloading stock image but was hoping someone had an experience similar and had an easy solution?

And now I offically think my phone is screwed. I cant boot into recovery, every time I try it wont enter and just reboots because I'm holding the power and volume down buttons. So far I don't think I can enter download mode either.

How to get into TWRP with hardware keys on G2
1. Make sure phone is completely powered down.
2. Press and hold the Volume down button and the Power button.
3. When the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again.
4. Release both buttons when the Factory Hard Reset screen displays.
5. Press the power button three times, like it says. Even though it says it will delete everything, it won't (I can confirm that if you are at least on v2.6.3.2).
6. After a "factory reset processing" appears, you should get the TWRP flash screen, and you are good to go.

Thanks for replying. I've read how to get into the recovery menu many times. Something is wrong with my phone that prevents me from doing it. I'm assuming its hardware related. I was almost ready to give up yesterday when I found out that if I do the key combo while plugging it into USB, it enters the menu normally. At that point I was able to restore my backup and start again.
I think my phone has a fluke, but I've figured out a way around it.
For those who are using Malladus on Verizon, something was wrong with the radios in the set. I had to find a seperate KK baseband file for the VS980 and flash it over top of the ROM to get it to work. I'm not saying its the same results for everyone, but I tried every variant of his directions (just in case) and was unable to get LTE online. It was the seperate BB file later on that fixed it.
I was freezing some apps in my app manager Think it was called rom box or something. When I closed the program, I got a message that com.systemui stopped working. Now my touchscreen isn't working.
I have a backup from earlier today on my pc but I cannot get it to my phone as it doesn't show up when I plug it in to my pc. My phone is an LG G2 Verizon with TWRP.recovery.
Not sure what options I have here.
I am running stock build I believe 4.2.2 kitkat
First post. Sorry if this is vague and needs more info. Can't really get anything off my phone
Thanks for any help!

Power it off, follow the key sequence to get into recovery...
Press power and volume down, hold til LG Logo, let off and immediately press them both again, hold til you get the factory data reset screen, hit power twice to boot to TWRP.

Yeah I ended up resetting to factory defaults last night. Connected phone back to pc and moved over the backup and booted to TWRP and restored.
Thanks!
This message I get when I try to power up my Note 9 N960F/DS.
I got it this way: Been running the same ROM for 2 years. Time to upgrade. Upgraded TWRP via the app. After downloading the ROM image to SD card, I tapped an app called Reboot, with the Recovery option. I suspect this app is from some old installation, and ended up on this unit via data restore. Now all I get is this message on a black screen. No logo, nothing. Message flashes once. If I plug into PC, message flashes repeatedly. Cannot boot to recovery using Vol-+Pwr, Vol++Pwr ineffective.
I suspect I bricked the phone, but I seem to remember once breaking out of this 2 years back, I think. Any ideas, clues, anything?
Try this, power off phone. Press volume up and bixby button and while pressing buttons insert data cable, phone should go to downlaod mode. OPen odin and flash stock firmware.
OK, tried it, display showed the same message until I released the buttons, then flashed the message every 4 seconds until disconnected.
OK, got it into download mode, reflashed twrp, now it's in a boot loop. Will continue working this.
It took a few tries, but I not only got everything working, I restored my data backup and upgraded to Android 10. Thanks all!

HOW DID YOU DO THIS, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING YOU'RE THE ONLY OTHER PERSON WHO'S HAD THIS ISSSUE. PLEASE HELP, I CANNOT GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE NO MATTER WHAT I DO
My mum tried to do the last update on her phone, during which most probably battery ran out - now phone is basically a brick.
When turned on it's stuck on logo loop, rebooting itself every 5-10 seconds or so vibrating once and repeating. When unplugged or plugged into the wall none of the button combinations work - the phone basically ignores everything.
When plugged to PC via USB I can invoke "updating process"? with Volume Up + Power / Volume Up combination, which should lead me to recovery menu - instead the phone goes into "update", loads bar up to 25%, gets stuck for about a minute or so, reboots and goes into logo loop.
Hard reset also "works" when plugged into PC - update screen shows up, gets stuck on 1%, phone gets hard rebooted, update comes up again, goes up to 25%, reboots and on to the logo loop...
Can I even somehow get into recovery mode to wipe cache to allow the phone to get update again or even wipe data to flash custom ROM? Screw data, I just want to make it work and not have a brick lying on the desk...

Have you tried using reiboot-for-android.exe by Tenorshare Co Ltd? Might help. Or if the device is within warranty then try Service Centers for that device.
You can try flashing stock rom from odin.
Download your current stock rom from samfw.com and extract the zip file.
Install odin and samsung usb drivers (link) and reboot your pc.
Reboot into download mode from your phone and press volume up:
Keep USB connected, Hold Volume Down and Power buttons, When screen turns off, hold Volume Up and Volume Down buttons

Open odin and load the files:
AP = AP*.tar.md5, BL = BL*.tar.md5, CP = CP*.tar.md5, CSC = CSC*.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click flash and wait till it says pass
Press and hold volume down and power to reboot. The first boot can take a while. Hopefully this will fix it.
