I soft bricked my phone. I can get back to TWRP, and any ROM seems to take but none will boot. All stuck on the Samsung Custom (open lock) screen.
I think i formatted too much and now need to go back to MDK.
Any suggestions for the speediest solution?
My thoughts are odin MDK and then root and flash TWRP?

I did it. Luckily i was able to odin back to an MDK ROM, re-root and recovery. All is well. I always thought you couldn't go back to MDK, but i guess you could. Does that mean anyone on a ROM today can go back to MDK?

The reason you could go back to MDK, because you were on MDK build. People won't be able to odin back to MDK after they take OTA update.

i wasn't on the MDK build. I had already moved to a custom rom of ME7 and was on hyperdrive 4.3 when i did the ODIN. Is it because i wasn't bootlocked?

Flashing a custom ROM doesn't change your original baseband. If you didn't take any official OTA's then you were still on MDK. Also, there's no such thing as an unlocked bootloader for the S4's.

Your right. I just checked my baseband on my current ROM (recently released hyperdrive r11) and it's MDK.
So does the baseband have any affect on my usage?
ugh i installed this and i cant get past the Samsung logo either... which file should i download to odin??? not what i wanted to deal w/ right before bed.. hopefully the process doesn't take too long.

Boot into the factory recovery and do a wipe/factory restore.
didnt realize this was possible if we're on a custom recovery. i thought factory recovery was erased once you install a custom one?

You will wipe the custom recovery when you odin. After that just boot into recovery and select wipe/factory reset.

Hello, I am new to the forum, but I am not new to rooting. I switched from the Droid Razr Maxx to the Galaxy S4, and so far I have loved my GS4. I am updated fully to android 4.2.2 baseband I545VRUAME7. I was able to root my phone using the SD Card method as published on Saturday, July 27 2013. Upon rooting my phone I attempted to install custom recovery in order to install the Eclipse S4GE v1.4 ROM made by nitroglycerine33. I downloaded Goomanager and installed TWRP. Upon telling TWRP to flash the custom ROM it rebooted the phone, as usual. After reboot i was put into Odin. I tried this process 4 times with no avail, continuously booting into Odin. After trying TWRP, I tried Clockworkmod and the same happened to me. I am unable to get anything other than Odin, and I really hate TouchWiz and want to switch to this ROM. Thanks for any help.

You cant flash roms on the new update, you can only root.
With rooted ME7, we do not have the capability (yet!) to install custom roms or recoveries. See the thread on the bounty about this.

What's your build number? If it ends with ME7 the best you can do is root (for now).
Is there a way to downgrade, or a reason as to why we cannot install custom ROMs?
Me7 blocks older versions of the firmware so no downgrading. You cant install a custom recovery because me7 patched the loki exploit. Once on the me7 ota youre stuck, for now atleast.

To port it over, the stock bootloader must first be unlocked. You can't overwrite the locked bootloader

obviously.. what i should have wrote was,
surprised nobody is able to compare and contrast the 2 bootloaders, find out whats different and examine a way to release that block. which im pretty sure what they have been trying.
basically it should be the same bootloader, one locked and one unlocked. find out how the lock is there and whats different
Is there any way to get out of the Odin mode when you attempt to reboot to recovery on ME7 using TWRP? Is it possible to flash back to the stock ROM?
You cant flash a custom recovery on the me7 ota. Turn your phone off and use the odin/download mode key combo. When it asks if u want continue decline and your phone will boot normally. Me7 images flashable via odin are in the dev section.

You're not using TWRP if you updated to ME7. You have the stock recovery and are on the stock rom. There is no going back to MDK.

Unfortunately I have figured that one out. So, is there any way to install one of the ROMs posted by Dubbsy? I was under the impression that these worked with ME7, but I must be very wrong in that assumption. Forgive my ignorance. I'm just really sick of TouchWiz and I can't wait to get a clean Android install on this device.
No you cant install any rom as of yet on me7. The me7 roms in the dev section are an me7 base with mdk files so you can retain ability to flash a custom recovery and flash other roms. As for your pm shut your phone all the way off and then hold volume down + power. Release power when it vibrates keep holding vol down and itll ask for you to confirm or deny booting to download mode. If you deny it your phone should boot normally. Everytime you boot I believe itll do this so youll eventually need to use one of the me7 odin images. There is no wipe versions in the dev section so you wont lose any apps and data associated with them.

I was running eclipse 4.2.2 and spent two days flashing Vario's Roms and modems
I ended up going back to eclipse 4.2.2 and now every time I run a system process my phone freezes. Black screen. Sometime reboots.
I was doing full wipes or data/cache/davlik every time.
I can't figure it out. Pressing volume up or down freezes and lags the phone.
Pressing the phone icon lags and submitting the call lags the phone.
On top of that my mp3s on my sdcard no longer work on Google music...
Any idea how to fix this? My phone is almost useless except for third party apps. Thanks

if you are mdk, I would NEVER take OTA as that will cause you to lose custom recoveries and ability to rom any type of ROM and custom kernels. There is a way to continue forward with MDK but I don't know what the process is as I don't have MDK myself
Yes I rejected the update.
Instead I put on CWM recovery and flashed the TW stock 4.3 build

***first of All I'm only making a new thread because I haven't found my specific issue anywhere else (even though its a common issue)***

I recently flashed a new rom (Hyperdrive 16.1 the link is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724), Wiped Data/Factory Reset, Wiped cache and dalvik cache. I also did the format data where you had to type in "yes." I did it all in TWRP. Then after using my phone for a few hours I decided to reboot it. Now its stuck in the Samsung "Custom" screen with the lock (unlocked icon).
I cannot seem to be able to go into recovery mode as well. I'm not sure what build version my phone uses, and since I can't boot the phone i don't know what to do. What do you recommend I do? I was also using android 4.4.2....
Should I Odin back to factory and then re root?
This video seems to be very useful, and I want to follow it but what should i do if I don't know the build?

Were you using SafeStrap or TWRP... that may help with what build you were on since your not sure and if you were MDK you don't want to Odin a different firmware and lock your phone up.
If you don't know.. What other ROMs have you flashed successfully before? Have you flashed custom kernels before?
Or did you have to flash kernel modules when flashing TW ROMs...
HD 16.1 needs to be on either MDK or a SafeStrap with 4.4.2 base so most likely you were on 4.3 base is my guess until you provide more info.

I've had this problem since December or so now, (whenever CM11 came out) and I've tried asking for help everywhere, including here before. But I'm sending out one final hail mary request. For some reason, whenever I download a 4.4 Rom for my phone and I have my wifi running, the phone will freeze after I hit the power button and will not turn the screen back on at all or it will freeze while I'm using it. The only way to get the phone back on is by doing a battery pull.
Here is everything I've tried: various Roms, various kernels, different steps to install (full wipe, wipe cache, etc.), I've even unrooted and gone back to stock to start from scratch and it still happens.
If anyone could please help me out, I'm stuck running 4.3 and I want to be able to run 4.4. Hopefully I can finally find a fix for this issue I'm having. I don't think it's faulty hardware because one other person or so has had the problem as well. Help me XDA, you're my only hope!

No you can still run AOSP roms, the only way you can lose MDK bootloader is if you flash firmware in Odin that is anything other than MDK, or if you take an OTA update while completely stock.
I guess I should say that after rooting stock MDK via towelroot, use a root explorer to delete SDM.apk and FWupgrade.apk from /system or /system/priv-app to prevent the phone from auto-updating before you flash a custom rom.

Hello all!
I recently flashed HyperDrive RLS 21 onto my s4, I originally had problems getting this to work on my phone. What I had to do was take my phone from it's NK1 kernel and flash it down to NC5 via Odin and then install HD and all modules. I then having trouble getting my stock ROM to run, I imagine this is due to the fact that it was now on NC5 and not it's natural NK1.
So what I did was flash it BACK to NK1 in order to retrieve my contacts. Upon rebooting and entering Safestrap then booting into my HD ROM slot, my phone got stuck on the Galaxy S4 boot logo. So I then tried wiping cache, this did nothing. So I then wiped data/factory reset in recovery mode then tried using Odin to put NK1 back on it. This has done nothing as I am still stuck on the boot logo.
I believe all I have to do is get back to Safestrap and factory wipe the HD ROM slot and reflash the stock ROM back to NC5.
Any help is appreciated!

Odin(Full Wipe) to nc5, then safestrap and do RLS21(with HyperdriveUI). I am on pure nc5 and I do weekly installs... and nc5 full wipes. You have to put the ROM in the stock slot, not any other slot.

What i ended up doing was using Kies to full wipe and upgrade to newest firmware (5.0.1). I believe I can just Odin down to NC5 now and do the entire rooting process over again then install HD into the stock slot.
Also, what do you mean when you say that you do weekly installs and full NC5 wipes?
