I rooted my s4 last month via Odin. I am running stock ROM. My phone was fine until yesterday when it turned off. Every time I would try to start it a screen would show up that showed the samsung logo, an unlocked padlock, and the word Custom. The phone will not boot into system recovery. I don't know much about rooting so I don't really know what is wrong. I tried tutorials on the internet but they all involve booting into system recovery. Any help is appreciated.

I tried to install the cwm via ROM MANAGER and when its done, my phone resetted and from that moment it has been stucking at the Samsung logo for hours. ive tried removing and inserting the battery but it doesnt work; booting into recovery doesnt either: the samsung logo keeps flashing if i do that. My phone is 4.2.2 and rooted, i definately didnt mess anything, just let the ROM MANAGER automatically do its job and now it resulted in this. Looking forward to your replies guy, im desperate now.
Updated: my phone is in download mode now and idk how this works. It doesnt tell me what is it downloading or the process...
Go read the stickies in general on how to return fully to stock, read and understand before you flash.
Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S III GT-i9300 International Version. I recently started experimenting with roms and cwm and i think i ended up in a dark tunnel. I rooted my phone and installed clockwork (cf auto root) and then tried installing KitKat Rom 4.4 but kept failing each time i entered recovery and tries to flash it. by reading other posts it was suggested to use a higher version of cwm as i was using a 5.0.4.6 version. after trying a later version the rom flashed and also the gaps without any problem. however after booting i realized i had no service, but the phone seemed ok. i decided to flash modem_XXDME4 and Modem DDEMG2 in recovery after reading some posts to get signal back. that's when the trouble started, when the phone rebooted i could not get pass the setup screen to select language, touch is not responding up to this time, i reflashed stock rom, it booted and still no touch , cant get pass the start screen of the language selection. my phone never fell and the creen has no sign of falling. any help would be greatly appreciate.....:crying::crying:

Well it seems that you have a rooted phone with a custom recovery installed. Hence the OTA could not get pass the custom recovery. could you please provide which version of the HOX+ you are using is it the HOX+ international or the AT&t or TelUS?
well, my brother bought it in dubai. its HOX+ int.. any ideas how i can fix it??
and i'm having another problem. after it continued to stuck on the welcome screen, the battery is totally drained and when i charge it i don't see any red light that should appear when charging.
I was messing around on my phone. I ended up accidently deleting my OS when i ment to do a factory reset(at the time i was using TWRD recovery. it was telling me i had no OS after. I got a MD5 file that is for the galaxy s4 i337m (canadian bell) which is whom my service provider is. when i try to boot my phone now i have the normal menus without the custom recovery but i cant get passed the samsung logo. i have tried hard reset and hasnt worked. i tried going into recovery and doing a wipe on the cache and doing a factory reset. and still unable to go passed
....
i have tried watching youtube videos and following things online but i cant access my phone.. so i cant do half of what anyone is saying to do.
I also had a error that was saying my software had an issue so i did a autoroot for my phone and now im back to being stuck at the logo screen

Try to get into download mode, and reflash rom with ODIN.
Go to sammobile.com to download firmware for you device.
Give feedback.
solved it
After resting...flashing stock rom, hard re setting, basically watched every video on how to fix a Samsung that won't get passed logo. I ended up getting kies and i entered in my serial number and model number and it fixed my phone in about an hour with my proper software.
Hi guys, I`m new to this forum and I wouldn`t be posting this topic if I found a solution on other forums. If anyone had a problem like mine, or saw a thread before, I would appreciate if you pasted a link to the solution, or gave some kind of advice.
First of all, I`m new to rooting, custom roms, etc., so I guess that whatever I did, it was my fault. I got this Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) as a gift, and since i already had a phone, I wanted to take a risk and take a shot at installing a lollipop rom. I watched a few tutorials, it seemed simple enough, so i thought why the hell not, but in the process something went wrong...
Sooo... here is what I`ve done:
1.) Rooted my phone with VROOT
2.) Flashed custom recovery with ODIN. I`m not sure which version of CWM it was, 6.0.4.5 I think (the file is named CWM KitKar compatible-I9100). When I flashed CWM, my phone didn`t boot up. All I got was a Samsung Galaxy logo and a yellow triangle for a few seconds before my screen went black again, but I could still access both recovery mode and download mode using the combination of keys.
3.) And then I did what I think screwed up my phone. I thought maybe flashing a lollipop rom through recovery would solve the issue (maybe the recovery is incopatible with my older stock rom and it`s the reason why my phone isn`t booting). So i flashed CM12 from galaxys2root.com. It`s called CM12.1S ROM for Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Andorid 5.1)
Not only it didn`t solve my problem, I still can`t get my phone to boot (now I get a samsung logo and a yellow triangle, but screen doesn`t go black after a few seconds, I left it in this state till the battery ran out and still nothing). And on the top of all things, I can`t get my phone to recovery mode anymore, all I get is the yellow triangle. I can still get it into download mode, but it doesn`t connect with my PC anymore. It charges, but I can`t connect it with ODIN anymore. And the weirdest thing is, when I connect it to PC, my other USB port goes crazy and disconnect my USB Wi-Fi adapter
What went wrong? Any advice is highly anticipated. :good:
