[Q] Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After going into recovery mode (Getting the Media Tek logo.) Every time I start my SGS4, I get the aforementioned error. I have tried almost
Everything, and been googling for 3 hours now. I have tried Cache wipe, wipe data/factory reset eMMc wipe, resetting to factory, formatting my Mini
SDs, and nothing worked. Also, a strange thing happened, my SGS4 used to show "Samsung" logo when booting, but now, it shows Media Tek l
Loading.. followed by immediately "android" writing.
Thank you.

I think you might have flashed a rom for another device since the s4 doesn't have a mediatek on board (aka your screwed)

Thank you for your reply. I'm pretty sure that I didn't flash a rom, because; I had to google how to do that, and from the looks of it, I didn't ?
Also, is there any solution, assuming it is on the wrong rom ? I believe this problem started happening while attempting to Root it, in which I stopped at the 2nd step, which is the Vol v + Power +- Home.
Thank you.

mm try flashing your stock rom through odin

Post the method you used here because usually for root you don't have to use that combo. And they probably don't know how to use odin since they're new.

Actually can you take a picture of your problem, I don't think you're describing it properly
