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

Anyway, you are either not following directions or have bad directions. As the phone reboots from Odin you are to pull the battery out.

I've never pulled battery and haven't ever had issues installing recoveries through Odin. But it wouldn't hurt trying. Out of curiosity, what exactly does it say at the top when you boot into recovery?
Edit: just remembered that if you upgraded to ICS through via OTA, the system reverts back to stock recovery due to code that is imbedded in the ota version of the update. But this code does not exist in the update provided through Kies (what i used). This explains my not needing to do a battery pull during reboot.

As I stated "I just remembered". Confirming your post. So nothing new learned for me lol. It's why I explained why a battery pull may be necessary IF the update was through OTA. If he went through kies, its due to some other reasons. Always best not to make assumptions that's why I asked the questions I did.

On the top it says "android system recovery" with no options to flash files or do a backup or anything, which means its the stock one.

There is a suggestion using ODIN, I am not very familiar on how to do that, any help?

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.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from TWRP?
-------edit----------
I just remembered. This used to happen on the Note 2 at times. If you're booting and get the Samsung splash screen, try going to TWRP and doing a Factory Reset a couple times. No idea if it will work, but with the Note that would usually clear whatever block existed and allow the ROM to boot past the splash screen. Good luck.

If it exists, it would basically be that ROM stuck into a .zip file which could be flashed from TWRP. I'm not sure it exists, was just browsing the Dev thread for you to see if anyone posted it. There is a version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292707 , but I'm not familiar with Loki enough to say whether or not you have it.

If Odin isn't working for you, a solution might be had via TWRP since you can still get into the recovery. If you flash your ROM or try your backup, does the install complete or does it crash? Have you wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data before the flash?
-edit-
Sorry, just saw your OP where you said you wiped and tried. If I were you my next step would be trying a different ROM just to see if you can get something booting.

Trying again. First wiping wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data , then restoring back up. I've tried this multiple times before hopefully it works this time. But generally when i hit reboot system afterward it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy IV boot screen and does nothing.

Credits: Our thanks to Samsung-Updates.com for posting MI3/MI5.
Until I have time to clean this up I figured I would post this now and we'll update it later.
It's more important to make sure people have this while testing new things.

As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.
Link to Stock ROMs:

Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
TESTED AND WORKING - Great Work bud!
Any other DL links? Its not downloading anything.. On either link. Thanks
EDIT: Might be on my end I think it is working now. I already did something and messed it up. Very easy fix but I cant believe the n00b mistake I did lol. Oh well

i redownloaded the rom twice and have had the same result. I am using TWRP. i think ill use odin, update the ROM though OTA and reroot and install TWRP again. don't know why my phone is being dumb and not booting the ROM, just bought this beast and i wanna play around with it
Been playing with my phone all day and somehow it crashed/rebooted & now I'm getting "Process system isn't responding"ever time it boots back up. Im rooted and have TWRP recovery...made a backup before all this started. Tried restoring my backup, didnt work, nor did using ODIN to flash a stock file. Full wipes and format data doesn't do any good either...Any suggestions?
I had the same issue this morning and after wiping and odin'ing what seems liked 30 times for 4 hours, I ended up taking it back. BB swapped it out with no questions asked.
The only thing I can think that happened was I tried restoring a backup with TWRP. I thought I read on here that restoring was not a good idea right now.
Looks like I am going to have to return this as well...every time it boots I get that error message and then it reboots itself....Did you do anything to flash back stock status??

Oh yes, many, many times! After I got stuck in a boot loop (or bootup system error), I wiped every partition I could find on the phone using stock TWRP and OUDH recoveries. Than I would odin multiple times using the MI3 tar. The odin process would be successful, but I would get stuck in a boot-loop every time. I'm fairly savvy with Samsung phones as I have rooted all 5 that I've owned but I couldn't figure this one out so I just took it back.

After the successful Odin, have you tried booting into stock recovery and wiping data? That can often fix problems booting up after a restore..

Oh yes, many, many times! After I got stuck in a boot loop (or bootup system error), I wiped every partition I could find on the phone using stock TWRP and OUDH recoveries. Than I would odin multiple times using the MI3 tar. The odin process would be successful, but I would get stuck in a boot-loop every time. I'm fairly savvy with Samsung phones as I have rooted all 5 that I've owned but I couldn't figure this one out so I just took it back.

I have similar issues. I tried to recover my original TWRP backup and now my phone is in a boot loop. Even taking the original system and restoring it via ODIN won't fix this?
No questions asked by the store?

I'm 99% sure that's what killed mine....TWRP restore. I told the store I woke up and my phone was boot looping. No further questions asked.

Did you by at Sprint or BB or some other retailer? I'm afraid that I'm SOL as I bought from Sprint.

The Sprint store is not going to have the software to restore your phone yet. So they will replace it as they want even be able to tell its rooted...Well unless they go into download mode which i don't see why they would do that right now. .. BUT This is something you can fix yourself. From what i read you only flashed the stock TAR once. Flash it again and see what happens. Pay attention to what you are restoring. The first time i rooted i couldn't make phone calls...I have no idea what cause it. Now i am on Stock but mi3 as i forgot to pull the SD card.. And its not that serious to go to mi5 at this point.
Edit: If stock still dosent work after multiple attempts.... GO ahead and flash stock rooted ROM. In the next week or so everything will be figured. out. There want be any big updates that you miss in the next month. I wouldn't worry about being on stock rooted or stock unrooted. All the same for now.
I've retried several times with the STOCK unrooted tar. No go with that. Just boot loops...
I didn't see where there is a stock rooted ROM. I'll look in the development areas for it. If you have link would you reply with the link?

I downloaded the ODEX'd and Deodexed STOCK rooted ROMs and neither worked for me. I am at a loss for what to do. I'm not sure if I wait I'll have any better luck. I am so frustrated at this point...
I do appreciate your help. Thank you.

Just out of curiosity reboot your phone then press and hold the menu button when the Sprint boot screen pops up on reboot..see if by some weird chance your phone boots into Safe Mode...
