Root Getting a "seandroid message" after rooting

Hi James,

Success! I got TWRP installed its v 2.8.7.0 it was all I could find.

Am I OK with that version or shouldn't I worry about updating it?
How do I power the phone OFF without taking out the battery?
I chose the SuperSu zip file but I can't see that anything happened other than it found it.
It wasn't obvious how to make the backup go onto my SD card. the phone will not boot past the Metro PCS screen it just hangs there. So There's no way for me to tell if any of the apps I had are still there or not nothing special but it makes me curious.

Tnx

James,

Sorry to say that using the TWRP file I believe to be correct yielded nothing. I cannot access TWRP by any means I know. I either get the standard Android screen and apps with the message RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warratny Bit recovery. Or I can get to the Odin screen. I have installed TWRP twice today with the same results. At one time this phone was rooted with Kingroot... could that be the source of my misery? Of course its not rooted now with that method but maybe it's causing me the trouble. I did flash the stock ROM so maybe any KR leftovers are gone in that process?

Or is this a phone that can't be rooted for whatever reason? I'm at a dead end.

Thanks a lot!
