Need some guidance please - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I am new to the s4 I am on mdk version running twrp 2.6.0.0. Every time i flash a rom it bootloops back into twrp. I have tried new hyper drive 8.1 rls8.1 and synergy r104 Neither work. hyperdrive installs but bootloops back into twrp and synergy wont even get to aroma. I installed twrp through goo manger and used motochopper method for root. I looked for answers everywhere. sorry guy i need some assistance hopefully i missed something easy I also have odin back to stock re rooted more than once with same result. now i have tried cwm and oudhs with same result

Twrp 2.6.0.0 never worked well for me. Try a 2.5x.x or the new 2.6.1.0.

You can find them here in the development forum. To step up your flashing knowledge try to stay away from goo manager.

I don't have this device, but on the att version you have to flash a kernel after the rom. Not sure if you have to do that on the Verizon version

It could be because of the twrp version your using. Theres been alot of people having the same problem you are. You could try downgrading your twrp version or using cwm. I use cwm and flashed both those roms no problems. You migjt want to check the md5 hash as well you could be getting corrupted downloads.

Settle down I didnt say/insinuate you were new. Anyhow I noticed you were wiping cache and factory resetting. Are you wiping system and dalcik as well before flashing the rom. I doubt thats what is but at this point it seems like anything is worth a shot. Also Dumb question. Verizon s4?

Yes, use the toolkit to flash a kernel.
Always use a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM to make a backup before flashing something - 1 st RULE

Half the issues you guys have, is cause you use toolkits n such to do the simplest of tasks like flash a kernel.

[REQ] Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 6.0.4.3 CWM Zip

Requesting that someone make a flashable zip from the newest CWM Touch Image, especially as new 4.4 KitKat ROMs are requiring CWM-based recoveries.
I understand that this can be accomplished through ROM Manager (but I'm getting a download error) or through fast-boot/adb (which I admittedly don't have the time, patience or complete understanding to do) so if someone had time to make a flashable zip, I'd imagine that'd benefit the community greatly.
There is an older version here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576) but OP is no longer updating or supporting.
Will attach the IMG below. Thank you.

I haven't flashed a cwm zip, I just use rom manager to install it. But I've gone back and forth a few times recently with no problems. Just messing around the other day I installed a 4.4 and set it up and then flashed twrp and backed up the 4.4. Wiped the phone went back to a 4.3 and then restored the 4.4 nandroid with twrp without any troubles. Apparently it's the initial install that you need cwm for, but caution is advised for now as the next time it may not work. I was bored and just messing around. As always YMMV!
Is there a way to flash cwm on the official firmware for this phone using Odin?

I believe that you need to get the .img file and change it into a .img.tar file to flash it in odin.

I had made my own cwm touch flash zip as others have instructed. You just flash it with twrp if that's what using and use twrp to reboot to recovery to see the newly flashed cwm touch recovery. Vice versa for installing twrp again. However; just remember, backups can only be restored from recovery they were made with.

Sure. I assume you have your previous version zip in case you want to flash back? I just have latest cwm touch and twrp 2.6.1.0. and twrp 2.5 that I keep on hand.

As long as your phone is a SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 (codename used in these forums "quincyatt" is the same thing) you can use a quincyatt recovery.

You need to research how to root your specific build. They're not all done the same way. As far as a custom recovery, your ONLY option is Safestrap. I suggest you do a lot of reading before you run into bigger problems.

OK. My baseband says NC5 now, according to plan. Is towelroot my only option? Is safestrap my only recovery option? I thought that if you try to flash a recovery to try a rom when you are rooted with towelroot that it will brick the phone.

We can only use towelroot and safestrap. There are a few good roms in the development section that we can flash. Hyperdrive, echoerom, and Eclipse are solid. There are a few others as well that are closer to stock or are hybrids (aosp feel with TW base). Check out that section and flash only the ones that say are compatible with SS. I'm running echoerom v39.1. Be sure to read all the instructions since some of these roms may have other files that need to be flashed with it. Happy flashing!
