So I was flashing the new Hyperdrive Rom for the Verizon S4 and I made a mistake. After I wiped data/factory reset the device, cleared the dalvik and cleared the cache I accidentally swiped "Reboot" prior to installing a new Rom. Seeing what I did, I pulled the battery and rebooted into recovery. After rebooting into recovery, I re-wiped the data/factory reset, re-wiped the dalvik and re-wiped the cache.
I then installed the new rom RS11 Rom through the Aroma installer and when I click "Reboot", nothing happens. Phone just goes black and the only thing I can do with it is pull the battery and reboot into recovery. I've re-wiped everything multiple times and performed multiple fresh flashes, but this happens every time.
What did I do? Is this thing bricked? I have a nandroid backup made, but unfortunately it is on a separate SD at home and I'm currently at work.
Any help/advice would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks!

What recovery are you on? Have you tried rebooting through the recovery rather than Aroma?

I'm on OUDhs CWM Touch Req0very v1.0.3.5.
I'm worried to reboot through the recovery, because it's telling me "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
^^Will I lose root if I say ok to that?
You can Odin back to stock and start over as worst case scenario.

I've read things in the past about going back to stock and losing the ability to re-root. Is there a way to avoid that?

You are mdk base and using Loki exploit to load custom recovery right?

I don't think you will, I usually say Yes when it asks that and never had a problem. Can't make a guarantee.

Yup, mdk base and using Loki. Are there instructions for how to go back to stock and re-root?

I am sure there are...not first time some one had to go back to first base. You will need mdk tar file for Odin. Probably a couple out there. I don't have any links.

Installed my nandroid backup when I got home, the re-wiped and re-flashed hyperdrive rs11. All is good!
Thanks for the help.
Similar problem, can't get the solution! Please help!
I can no longer get my verizon Samsung galaxy s4 into recovery mode with power+home+up button.
I always get to a screen that says
"Downloading.... Do not turn off target!!"
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I545
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0 X 0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0 X 0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0 X 30
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
eMMC BURST MODE: ENABLED
This also happens when I tried to do a factory reset and also when I tried to to the OTA update. (They both failed and I got stuck on the same screen)
I can boot the phone by pulling the battery and pressing power+down+home.
Then it says:
Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems in a phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.
I press the volume down key and then I can use my phone, but I can never get into recovery mode or use any different roms.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for your knowledge and help!

Do you have a verizon razr right?

Hi Guys
I am new to playing around with android but not to electronics. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16gb (SCH-i905) with current 4g service.
Here is the problem I am having:
It started yesterday, I was browsing the web and the tablet froze and then rebooted. After the reboot programs randomly freeze and crash, if I reboot anything I have downloaded is gone and anything I deleted is back and I can't install or remove apps. I figured I had something corrupted and a factory wipe would fix it. Unfortunately when I perform a factory wipe from the menus or through Android recovery nothing happens. The tablet boots up like nothing was erased. Still has all my accounts, security pin, apps, and so on.
So after that I figured I would flash the tablet, I found the thread here in the development forum with the stock 3.2 image to load through ODIN. I downloaded everything, followed the instructions. ODIN says the flash was successful but when the tablet reboots it still has all my info and is running 4.0.4. I have tried this multiple times. I have tried loading CWM with ODIN but it will not stick.
Any thoughts? If you need more information I will get it, I am just stuck and can't find anything that helps me with this problem!
Thanks for your help!!!
If you want cwm to load after you install it using odin, then you must immediately boot the tablet into recovery without letting it run normally. During the normal boot process, CWM is deleted and the stock recovery is restored. Therefore once Odin finishes installing CWM, hold the volume up button and once you get to the recovery mode you will be running CWM instead of the stock recovery module.
Regards,
Michael
Yes, I did read that in the multiple thread about installing CWM and have gone into recovery directly after ODIN reboots the tablet, however it is still only the stock recovery app.
Any ideas why the factory reset / data wipe won't work?
So after several more hours working on this problem I think I have come across the root cause. I believe that my internal storage has corrupted and is now only mounting in Read-Only mode. From everything I can find online, without having root access previously, this is a no go for fix it yourself.
In case anybody happens on this post down the road, I have been unable to find a resolution and it would appear I must sent the unit back to Samsung for repair.

factory reset through the stock recovery should be able to get you out of it (RO filesystem).

I guess that blows my theory out of the water. I can't make heads or tails with this. No matter what I do, Menu Factory Reset, Recovery Wipe/Reset, ODIN Flash Stock EG01 firmware, ODIN flash CWM Recovery as soon as this device reboots I am right back where I started....... GAH!!!
Thanks for letting me know I'm probably wrong.

it has to be factory reset through the stock recovery (it will format /data), not through CWM.

Yup, done that multiple times. I'll take video of it if you want, Factory Reset in stock recovery has no effect.

odin flash CWM (you can use 6.0.2.8 in JB CM10 folder on droidbasement), boot it and try to format the /system partition first then /data.

HI Pershoot!
I forgot to say thanks for your help!! I appreciate someone smarter than me lending a hand.
That said, I just tried to flash CWM from DB Galaxy Roms/CM10 folder. Upon reboot the tablet still entered stock recovery, I have tried this several times, but this time I took a video. If you feel so inclined to watch it maybe you can catch me doing something wrong....
Again thanks for your help!!

I had to do this on mine. http://techne.alaya.net/?p=8829. I rooted and modified the file described in the steps. Weirdly enough it still booted into stock recovery the first time I installed CWM. I installed CWM one more time and the tablet now boots into CWM.
Hey guys,
I was just wondering what the general consensus is on which recovery is the most preferred.
I was using TWRP 2.6, but that gave me problems (being stuck on samsung logo everytime my phone rebooted). Reverted back to 2.5.0.2 and it seems to work fine so far. I did try CWM in the past but for some reason my boot loader would get locked and I would have to ODIN back to stock.
So what's your preferred recovery and why?
Thanks.

I like TWRP. It works well with the new phone and Roms that are coming out plus it is so easy to use. Never liked CWM very much. You did right by reverting to an older version of TWRP I had to do that once.
TWRP... i don't even consider anything else.
Do you guys know why my phone gets stuck on the samsung logo everytime i restart my phone?
Doesn't matter what ROM i use it always happens....
Did you do a factory reset, system wipe, preload wipe, cache wipe, and dalvik wipe? Or try fix permissions from recovery?
If not, go do all of those.
If that doesn't work, something is missing from the system partition that is keeping it from booting. Which means you deleted it. :good:

I did ALL of those, still have the problem.
So.... I just ODIN-ed back to stock and going to root and basically re-do everything -_-
I was restoring one of my nandroids (of euroskank's CM 10.2) and it said it appears as if I'm not rooted and if I want to install super SU and I said yes. Then I got stuck on the Samsung splash screen. When I pull the battery it gives me this screen I've never seen before that says (paraphrashing) that installing a "custom OS" is dangerous and push volume up to do so and down reboot. I tried to install the "custom OS" and it just keeps saying "Downloading. Do not turn off target." But it just stays there.
I'm on MDK and TWRP 5.0.2

Thats download mode, its used to flash stock firmwares using odin. Before you restored your nandroid did you wipe system, factory data reset, and wipe both cachea?
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

This nandroid backup is likely not a good one, as seeing download mode at boot usually indicates a bad flash.
How many times have you tried restoring using the nandroid backup you have?
If you've tried multiple times with the same result (and you're sure you wiped data/cache/dalvik as well), you will probably need to flash a full tar.md5 image from ODIN (like a stock-rooted ROM, etc).
I successfully rooted with towel root, installed ss 3.72 and everything was good. Disabled some stuff in root uninstaller and greenify. Rebooted, looped on the red verizon logo. Got into recovery, wiped cache, stuck on starting apps. Did a factory reset and now I lost everything. Its now just stuck on the opening samsung screen with custom. Safe strap doesn't even show up anymore. Only thing I can do is get into stock recovery. How can I fix this?
