So I have had my Fascinate rooted and had Cyanogenmod 7 on it for a while now. Just recently I have had an issue where all apps would start force closing and I had to wipe my device. But for the past two days my device has been in a Cyanogenmod boot loop. I have tried clearing the cache and have wiped it from recovery and it still loops. Updating the CWM has not done anything and I just want to use my device.
Please help!
You will have to flash back to stock. Might as well try cm10 or aokp jb while you're at it. Everything you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070

Just got the Verizon S4. Is there a way right now to flash it with stock jelly bean, with no bloat? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
If not possible now, will it be?
Thank you
Root just got working yesterday and recovery earlier today, big items to get roms going. No vanilla roms out really yet. Give it a little time to stabilize. If you are planning on waiting make sure not to accept ota updates or the way root and recovery are done might be patched.

Fairly new to this. Is going from a touchwiz rom (with perseus) kernal as easy as just going into twrp and wiping cache and installing the new cm10 rom? I am looking at liquid smooth.
No, you will need to back up everything of importance and completely wipe your data. You can try your way, but more than likely you will see some errors.

yep you need to wipe data...there is a guide in the dev section that touches up on this.
Thanks for the replies. I went from a charge to the note and well thats was like re-enventing the wheel. No one click on the charge. Always haveing to swap roms with kernels.

So back when I Flashed ROMs with my dinc 2 everytime I Flashed an update for a ROM I had to wipe data and format system and all that before I updated. Otherwise things didn't always work right.
I understand that ROMs for the S4 often have OTA like updates.
My question is do I have to wipe phone before I take a OTA update. Or just when changing ROMs?

Okay, As the title says, I've got a Rooted SGS4, GT-I9505, Running on a TWRP Recovery, And im using the Nightlies from CM Site, Wont let me link due to new account, Now..
My Problem seems to be that when i go into recovery and do my Wipe/Factory Reset, It works fine, But then when i go to flash the zip file, It freaks out! it starts saying Cant mount /system,eft,preload and then obviously gives me a big red failed!.. Now i wipe again, Then restore.. And start again, Also Tried wiping everything but my system folder, etc etc, i've tried everything.. Now ive tried messing with going into the mount tab aswell and seeing if i can mount things myself, but that seems to do somthing else, because it didnt do what i'd expected.
SO.. Am i missing a step between wiping and flashing, Or and i Wiping the wrong things? OR do i need to mount system,efs,preload myself?
SGS4 GT-I9505, Vodafone, AU.
SOLVED-ISH! (Read post below!)

Bad download..... That is usually the problem. Check to see in a file explorer if the size of the file is adequate to the size of it on the get.cm site.

Thanks for that!, Sorry aswell :S
Big news!
Seems TWRP was the issue, It was utterly crapping itsself, It seems after i'd flashed Philz CWM recovery, Everything went pretty smooth.. Now my only problem is that this is my first custom rom, so now to see where i should start before i move to CM10 and stay there haha!
If anyone has any suggestions for a thread/post that would be great.. Only thing i know is step 1: Get a GApps.zip!

Note that your TWRP backups are not compatible with CWM so one thing to do is make a backup in CWM of a known good configuration.
