Try to get in to Odin mode. If you can flash the Stock Image and go from there.

Hi I have the exact same pb, I flashed several times my S4 (I was on RLS4 before) following the instructions, no way to get out from the endless reboot loop.
There is a suggestion using ODIN, I am not very familiar on how to do that, any help?
Thanks

dont install any audio mod and also dont install any of the music players just the samsung one !

before you go through all the trouble of ODIN, which seems to be everyones answer now a days, it is a kernel issue, flash a verizon loki kernel. It should boot.

First, if you have a back up, restore just the system partition (this will also format your current /system) Then do a factory reset and reboot. Now I if that doesn't work, Odin is your best bet.

FOR anyone installing Hyperdrive, the most probable cause of boot loop in the Walkman Music App. Don't choose it in Aroma!!!
If you already have, the only way to fix the boot loop is to ODIN back to stock, as Dark Menace suggested.
He can PM you the stock image, which you will have to flash in ODIN to successfully boot up again.

hey I do plenty of flashing, and from time to time get into trouble... But ODIN is not the first choice to fix... Please read the forums:cyclops:

Sent a few PM's to see if that helps. You can try the kernels first then go from there.

I had the same problem had to go back in odin mode and reflash a old stock. If that does not work reset data and cache and install a new rom. Worked for me

I can't get my phone to see the the SD card in recovery. My Verizon Galaxy S4 is stuck in a boot loop thanks to Hyperdrive RLS12 and Odin fails every time I try it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[Q] CM7 boot loop!

Hi all
I'm not new to flashing but I'm new to flashing cm7.
I odin back to stock jfd eclair. Root and Install CWM 2.xxx. I downloaded the stable cm7 and I started flashing. (after I wipe data/cache of course)
IN recovery, it said finding package, opening package, then my phone processed a series of lines and reboot automatically. On the startup, it says VIBRANT SAMSUNG, then GALAXY S CYANOGEN(mod) then the same recovery screen with many lines. It moved too fast into another reboot I couldn't read what was on the screen. And it kept doing this for quite 10 mins now.
Is it normal? if not, what did I do wrong? I can get into download mode and odin back to stock but I did it last night and I couldn't think what i did wrong.
Please help!
Hmmmm..... seems a bit wierd, try going into recovery and wiping and reinstalling with a new download.

Try reflashing cwm when your rooted, may have not flashed right
Sent from my Gewgle Phone via XDA App
This happened to me also, I went directly back to recovery, 3 button, and reflashed. Worked the second flash for some reason.
Thanks. I turn it off, get into recovery again, and re flash it successfully
Same exact thing happened. I have no idea how many time I odened back to stock trying to figure it out.
I did as you guys said, as soon as that loop began, pulled the battery and got back into recovery. flashed again and worked just fine!
same thing happened to me...i got back into recovery...i noticed cwm updated to 5.0.2.8 then i reflashed and all good...when i tried to flash at first. cwm was 2.5 ..maybe thats the issued it wont flash on that...has to be cwm 5.0
anyway getting ready enjoy some cm7 on my vibrant...

[Q] Stuck in boot loop - rooted

My thunderbolt got stuck in boot loop about a week later after flashing Liquid ICS MR3V1. If I attempt to reboot the phone numerous times it will eventually boot up and work fine. The phone will not allow me to get into recovery - it will just go into boot loop once recovery is selected. I did manage to get the phone to go into recovery one time and I wiped everything and installed an infected eternity rom that I have been running for a long time without any issues. I thought I was okay once I flashed this rom but when I restarted the phone it went into the boot loop sequence again. Currently after 15+ attempts at starting the phone I got it to boot up without the SD card. I rooted my thunderbolt through revolutionary...if it matters?
From reading other threads it appears I need to install an RUU? Can I just install a RUU that will not un root my phone or do I need to change my modded Hboot, go back to s on and unroot? I flashed roms numerous times without issues and I always wipe multiple times and I am not sure what happened here. Unfortunately I do not have any backups to revert back to -- since I read flashing an RUU without the proper steps can brick my phone I wanted to seek advice to make sure I do it properly.
ys RUU can help you . just my own thought.
good luck to you :laugh:

Sounds like something is just wrong with you recovery. Try flashing another recovery. Also, IF you're using the boot manager app, it may be acting up. If the boot manager app is on your phone, I'd recommend removing it.

Do you mean try re installing cwm? I currently can't get into cwm because it goes into the boot loop sequence. I will try this later tonight and see if it helps. I do not have a boot manager app, I believe when I rooted through revolutionary it modifies hboot? (I have been rooted for over a year now withoutproblems)

No, boot manager is just an application from the play store.
Yes, try downloading cwm recovery again.

Update - I reinstalled CWM and got the phone into recovery, and did a reset, wiped everything and got stuck in boot loop. I eventually got the phone to boot up and I deleted a couple roms, etc in my download folder. After this was done I power cycled the phone twice without any issues.

[Q] TWRP 2.4.4.x Boot Loop?

Has anyone else had a boot loop problem with the new V of TWRP?? I'm running SOAv3 ROM and had ZERO problems, upgraded my twrp and had about a dozen restarts and freezes and then when I tried to boot into recovery, it boot looped. Fixed it with ODIN, then tried installing it fresh, and got the same thing. Went back to my older version and things are fine once again just wondered if this is isolated or just a known bug??
Yes its a know issue right now go back to the previous working version of twrp and wait for it to get fixed.Also be sure to check big Biff's twrp page before trying to update again to make sure everything is good.

Just update from Padawan V8 to SOA build 3. Was skeptical for a day or so but finally did it last night. Was just about to update to the New TWRP, thank fully I read through all those pages before I did, I usually don't. Saved me a head ache except I forgot to wipe cache's before installing the GAPPS, going to have to re-do that I believe to get the new camera functions from what I've read.

[Q] Bricked Verizon S4?

Hey guys, thanks in advance for the help.
So, I was coming from one of the earlier Hyperdrive ROM versions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41989203#post41989203, and flashing to the newest version. Following the instructions, I used TWRP (Loki'd, obviously) to format data, system, cache, and dalvik. Apparently, formatting also wiped my internal-sdcard, where the download was located... So now, I'm stucked with nothing to flash. I can access ODIN mode, but cannot find a stock image for the Verizon GS4. I downloaded the newest Hyperdrive onto my computer, but I cannot get adb to recognize the device. Also, TWRP is now telling me that my phone is not rooted.
Can someone please help? I need this phone working NOW.
Thanks again.
Matt

Okay, I used Odin to flash the VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar.md5, PDA only. Odin says it succeeded and attempted to restart the phone. The phone is stuck on the SAMSUNG screen, with the Custom, unlocked icon below.
Any ideas?
I am now going to try flashing http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic.../SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5.gz using Odin, referenced from this thread:

After you stuck on the Samsung boot screen, you could've tryed pulling the battery, and then manually go into recovery, and do a factory data reset. Maybe fix permissions, clear cache and davlick. Should boot then.

I tried that. Recovery would not boot up. Would continue to stick on the samsung screen. About to flash true factory image now. Will post back.
True stock image worked. Thanks for all your help guys. Cheers.

would have been easier to boot into recovery again and adb push the rom image to your phone then flash. adb should have worked in recovery even with the wipe. glad you got it working though

[Q] Possible brick after CWM recovery update.

Here goes, hopefully someone can help!
Ive installed a fair few roms on my phone and never had any issue, maybe this explains the complacency.
After updating to CWM recovery -6.0.4.7 I get stuck on my bootscreen, only seeing "Samsung galaxy I9100P" , ive been putting I9100 roms on it and losing NFC functionality for a while.
I went to update to the newest CM-11 nightly and read I needed to update CWM-recovery first. So did that, rebooted phone as instructed after installing new CWMr and nothing. Just stuck on I9100 screen.
No way to get into recovery mode, the only bright side I have found is I can boot into ODIN download mode. So what would be my next steps anyone?
Flash stock rom. or flash a kernel to get a working recovery bk with odin.

From a dig through the forums it sounds like NAND rw corruption?
I wouldn't be calling it that just yet. Unless you'd like to pay for a motherboard replacement ? Most of these are recoverable.
Used ODIN and flashed a new kernel, still on the boot screen, except now I have the yellow exclamation mark. Now to, Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.. this day is not going well..
Fingers crossed, flashed 3 or 4 kernels before one worked and allowed me into recovery mode. Trying to restore back to my backup from this morning. Heres hoping! :good:
Worked perfectly, the first thing I did was retry the initial task which was what got me stuck, currently waiting on CM-11's initial boot up after a successful install Thanks for the calming responses!
