was installing the hyperdrive Rom using clockwork recovery mod, it says it installed sucessfully but when i go to reboot the device it just going into reboot loop, i can get back into recovery mod but when i try to factory reset and try it again it just does the same thing again, tried installing a different rom and still same thing, what am i doing wrong?
im having the same problem. i cant boot into recovery. is there anything i can do. i was on cm10.1 before this and it worked fine. i flashed hyperdrive using OUDHS and it installed and everything. i let it sit for 10 minutes like it said to then i continued to reboot... and now its stuck on the custom padlock screen and im cant boot into recovery for some reason...

Try to get in to Odin mode. If you can flash the Stock Image and go from there.

Hi I have the exact same pb, I flashed several times my S4 (I was on RLS4 before) following the instructions, no way to get out from the endless reboot loop.
There is a suggestion using ODIN, I am not very familiar on how to do that, any help?
Thanks

dont install any audio mod and also dont install any of the music players just the samsung one !
before you go through all the trouble of ODIN, which seems to be everyones answer now a days, it is a kernel issue, flash a verizon loki kernel. It should boot.

First, if you have a back up, restore just the system partition (this will also format your current /system) Then do a factory reset and reboot. Now I if that doesn't work, Odin is your best bet.

FOR anyone installing Hyperdrive, the most probable cause of boot loop in the Walkman Music App. Don't choose it in Aroma!!!
If you already have, the only way to fix the boot loop is to ODIN back to stock, as Dark Menace suggested.
He can PM you the stock image, which you will have to flash in ODIN to successfully boot up again.
hey I do plenty of flashing, and from time to time get into trouble... But ODIN is not the first choice to fix... Please read the forums:cyclops:
Sent a few PM's to see if that helps. You can try the kernels first then go from there.

I had the same problem had to go back in odin mode and reflash a old stock. If that does not work reset data and cache and install a new rom. Worked for me

I can't get my phone to see the the SD card in recovery. My Verizon Galaxy S4 is stuck in a boot loop thanks to Hyperdrive RLS12 and Odin fails every time I try it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am trying hyperdrive on Baseband I545VRUEMJ7 and build JSS15J.I545VRUEMJ7 (4.3). I am able to root and install safestrap. Even hyperdrive/dirty unicorns (i tired both) installs fine, but ends up in reboot loop. am i missing anything here?.
Ok guys I'm on stock rooted right now. Was on rls 7 hyper and the blue kubatan* rom and when rebooting trying mods it froze on custom splash. So I boot into twrp and wipe dalvik and cache. Reboot from twrp and no issues. Restore to stock no problem. Swap batteries on stock and boom custom splash. Went through wipe in recovery and fine but any reboot from stock tw goes straight to custom splash. Did the kernel get messed up or recovery what? Any ideas?

I'm having a similar issue. I did a full wipe and installed Hyper Rls 7 and it was working great. I made no changes or flashed anything new, but when trying to reboot it gets stuck at the Samsung Custom screen. I've waited 30 minutes with no change. I wiped with CWM and reflashed the rom with the same results multiple times. Any ideas short of going back to stock would be appreciated.

I don't think there is another way. I flashed numerous roms in hope of something that would work and no. Phone also ran hot like over 100°+ at idle or screen off and lagged bad when I did get it to boot. After flashing back to stock rerooting and restoring my backup it runs like brand new. Wonder is rls 7 is screwing with something?
Play it safe and go back to stock man

You must flash your Verizon loki kernel after you flash any rom, not all of the roms are loki'ed, so it will hang at the boot screen.
Thanks you...

Doesn't apply to us or rom wouldn't have booted first time after install. And a quick wipe of cache boots it so can't be that issue thanks though

Wrong, it is a kernel issue, try another. I have seen it boot once, then hang the next. Whatever.

That's Samsung's way of telling you that they know that you're running non-standard software. Don't worry about it.
You can remove it by installing a stock ROM whenever you like, but you'll lose all of your data in the process.
Well that's the ring l thing I totally wiped and unrooted with a stock mdk image I flashed using odin and is did not go away

You need to flash a full-wipe factory restore - signed by the factory. No changes, hacks, or modifications.
Factory reset won't do it.
If you're starting from rooted on MDK, run Triangle Away to clear the flag. Then flash a clean MDK image. You'll lose root but also have no "Custom" flag. If you DO get a custom flag after this, that's because you're not flashing a factory-signed stock image.
I installed Safestrap onto my GS4 in hopes of installing a ROM to get ride of touchwiz. I found a safestrap compatible ROM and installed it through safestrap. Now I cant boot into the system. I wiped all data and cache and factory setting. When ever I restart, sometimes it says: [Safestap: Disabled] or [Safestrap: enabled] I can access recovery. I tapped continue on both and just doesn't work.
Bit of a noob so dont be too hard
EDIT: I Installed Hyperdrive successfully until the end. Its at this screen: Beginning Android OS 4.3 boot sequence... .... .... ...." It has stayed here for hours, all night. Should I take out the battery? Buttons don't work

I created the rom slot. Im MK2, I used safestrap because I have a locked BL. Whats SS? I used a ROM called Barebone Stock.
When ever I flash a rom, all that happens when I restart is it says safestrap: Disabled or enabled. I choose recovery every time because rebooting doesnt do any thing.

SS is SafeStrap but you should try to uninstall the rom and reboot into stock and then go back and try to reinstall the rom

SS = abreviation for safestrap, thought that was pretty obvious
barebone ROM? Im not familar with that one being SS compatible. The safestrap disabled msg on display means the stock rom slot is active and the phone should boot to stock. When you have rom loaded into a rom slot 1 or 2 or whatever, you must "activate" that slot for it to boot. I would suggest deleting the rom slot you made and start over.

So, let's start from the basics - you're not telling us what versions of anything that you're using.
First, what build is your phone? i.e. the stock slot.
What version of Safestrap are you trying to use?
What version of Hyperdrive are you trying to flash?
When the phone hangs like that during boot, something critical has crashed that's preventing the boot.
You're booting Android 4.3 according to the above, so you should be flashing using SS 3.71 on build MJ7 or MK2 and Hyperdrive RLS14.
If all that is correct: the build is MJ7 or MK2, the Safestrap is 3.71, and you're trying Hyperdrive RLS14, then the likely cause is that you have a bad download. Check the md5sum after downloading to ensure that it's OK. Download it to your PC, not directly to the phone, then check the MD5 before transferring it to your sdcard and flashing it.

OK, If your stock slot is damaged, you probably need to re-flash and start over.
Download the MK2 "No-Wipe" rom image from this thread and flash it using ODIN 3.09 - that'll get you back to stock, Then try the Safestrap stuff again. Seems like you have the right versions of things, so if you follow the directions, it should boot OK.
Be sure to check the MD5 of anything you download. There's free software available that does that.

Well is your stock slot still working? If u just messed up a ROM slot than you can erase them and start over.
But if it was your stock slot then using Odin probably is the only thing that will help you.

Well you probably just need the USB drivers for your phone that's all. I just went through that myself with my new laptop. I ended up just googling it and finding the right ones.
It will work for you, once your back to stock just use Saferoot again, then install SafeStrap again... Then be certain whatever ROM u flash is SafeStrap compatible. I'd say use ROM slots for the time being until your more comfortable with things.... Don't take that the wrong way... Just saying is all. Messing with the stock slot can lead you back to where you're at right now that's all.

The thread on Chaos warns that some theme choices could cause a bootloop and to wipe reflash if that is the case, for future reference. I would do as someone else suggested and get the newest version of odin. There is no reason why the full wipe method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 should not work. You could also try a different USB cable and a different port on your computer.
