I'm trying to clean up my S4 to sell, and so I wiped data/factory reset and did format data. I then reflashed HyperDriver 14 and now I get stuck at the Galaxy S4 splash screen. I do still have access to get into TWRP however. Is there something I can do from TWRP to fix this? I have tried to fix permissions and it says FAILED. Do I need to do an ODIN flash at this point? I don't know what baseband I have, but since I have TWRP that was functional does that imply that I have the MDK baseband?
Thanks for any help!

Try another factory data reset and wipe /cache and /dalvik. If that doesn't work I would double the check the md5 of the HD rom file to make sure it's not corrupted. If the file is still good then you need to reflash the rom but this time do a factory data reset, wipe /system, wipe /cache, wipe /dalvik, and then install the rom, and it SHOULD boot.

Yeah I tried that again and have done that a few times, still no luck. The MD5 checks out OK. I could try another ROM tomorrow.
I'm on TWRP 2.5.0.2, is there any benefit to upgrading to 2.6.x.x? Would that help me possibly?

No, stick with 2.5, it works better on these phones than 2.6.
If your going to sell it then it doesn't get much better than just Odin mdk and re reroot it . probably take 10 minutes. Just my two cents lol

Is that one a no wipe or full wipe? I tried downloading it but the link is slow.
I did try to flash a no wipe MDK image and it seems I'm still stuck at the same spot.

I believe that one is a complete wipe.
If you have no luck with the no wipe tar, you may want to try the one that does wipe and back up all your internal storage.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM from TWRP?
-------edit----------
I just remembered. This used to happen on the Note 2 at times. If you're booting and get the Samsung splash screen, try going to TWRP and doing a Factory Reset a couple times. No idea if it will work, but with the Note that would usually clear whatever block existed and allow the ROM to boot past the splash screen. Good luck.

If it exists, it would basically be that ROM stuck into a .zip file which could be flashed from TWRP. I'm not sure it exists, was just browsing the Dev thread for you to see if anyone posted it. There is a version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292707 , but I'm not familiar with Loki enough to say whether or not you have it.

If Odin isn't working for you, a solution might be had via TWRP since you can still get into the recovery. If you flash your ROM or try your backup, does the install complete or does it crash? Have you wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data before the flash?
-edit-
Sorry, just saw your OP where you said you wiped and tried. If I were you my next step would be trying a different ROM just to see if you can get something booting.

Trying again. First wiping wiped cache, dalvik, system, and data , then restoring back up. I've tried this multiple times before hopefully it works this time. But generally when i hit reboot system afterward it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy IV boot screen and does nothing.

After your backup restores, try using TWRP to do a Factory Reset a couple times before rebooting. Also wipe cache/dalvik again before the boot.

Well went to restart the phone and now its stuck on a Samsung logo with a unlocked icon thats says custom underneath it and just sits there.
Hello,
I am on a rooted ME7 (sadly updated from MDK accidentally). I'd like to start fresh and do a full factory reset with a full wipe. Can someone point me in the right direction on a post or "how to"? All I've found was a no-wipe method.
Thanks,

You can wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery (from power off hold down volume up and power until it vibrates, then release) or you can do it through the settings in backup and reset. I'm not on stock so I don't remember its exact location in the settings, but it's there somewhere.
I have read several threads and watched youtube videos, but they dont say if I should remove Supersu before flashing odin or after - or if that is even necessary. Im on ME7 and want to do a factory restore.
Thanks

As long as you dont use a no wipe image itll be wiped out in the process. If you go the odin route.

You should just ODIN back to stock without removing it. It erases SuperSU, so you wouldnt be able to unroot after you go back to stock anyways.

When you odin everything will be wiped already. You should only need to do a factory reset if your phone wont boot. I have had the time problem before too, if you toggle auto date time off then back on it should correct it. Also you posted in this wrong section, should of been in thr Q and A section.

Okay, so I've been trying to install CM11 on my friend's Sprint Note 3 on the NAB firmware,
Each time I try, I get it rooted and TWRP installed fine, however, as soon as I attempt to install CM11 on it, I get:
Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing
Set Warranty Bit: Kernel
Then boot loop.
Reflash to stock through Odin and try again.
Am I missing something? Because I haven't seen anything that solves this issue. Thoughts?

Pacman worked. Thanks for the tip on trying that ROM.
CM is usually my go-to, but since that won't work right now, this will do just fine.

Did you do a full wipe Odin might help. You could try a factory reset from stock recovery. Both of these with wipe everything but your ext sdcard but is probably your only hope

The wait was worth it, SUCCESS thank you so much, I guess the PIT file was the key didn't know about it or what it does any idea? And what exactly does encrypting your phone do? I was curious and probably will never do it again after this incident unless its worth it.
I think the pit file basically rebuilds the partitions on sense wiping everything I think. Encryption makes the phone more secure but I wouldn't use it unless it's completely stock myself.
