I tried updating my rom and my phone will not boot. I cannot get past the samsung splash screen showing me the unlock icon. I have tried installing a different recovery, wiping everything, restoring from a backup from my SD card... no luck. I have been reading on here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30386309 and it kind of sounds like my issue. sometimes when I try wiping and installing a rom, the phone reboots when it has to write data, eg. installing gapps. no matter the gapps package im installing, kit kat or jellybean, the phone will reboot in the middle of the install. it is almost like the R/W is now corrupt. Anyone have any idea?
We need more info than that etc build you are on, and what build you were trying to update to.

Your best bet is to just Odin the NC5 stock firmware back on there then. You can try the no wipe first.

Well there are some partial downgrade methods on here which require a few files and Odin again. I haven't done it myself and I've seen some have no issues at all with it and some have had nothing but issues.

ugh. im having the same issue. Installed NC5 today from a clean install on my MK7 phone that was running NC2.
It installed and booted up fine. I installed some apps and rebooted. Now stuck on the Samsung logo with blinking blue led light. Can't get into recovery.

I did this yesterday actually, I am fortunate though and their is an AT&T warranty exchange center near my house. I'll tell you what I did, I fried the phone so they couldn't access anything on the phone. I handed them a completely bricked un responsive phone and their wasnt anything they could do but to give me a brand new one lol. If you wanna go down this route let me know and I'll explain how to brick the device for life

Have you tried flashing a stock rooted ROM and then using ODIN?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note i717 #BoycottApple
Unless you wipe data from the device prior to a return to stock via Odin ....you "will " have severe boot cycle issues....
In fact .....you must wipe data .....then return to stock via Odin .....then wipe data again before the first boot cycle on the stock rom.
But because you "must " allow the device to boot after pushing any file to the device to complete the write cycle, wiping the data a second time before booting is not possible ....
That being said ....simply wipe data after the return to stock before pushing the stock recovery over .....g
There are many methods ....but I use the above .....
Finally able to update everyone. I got it all stock. All I had to do was go into the stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Perfectly stock and shipped to Samsung!

What you are going to need to do to fix this is to flash the unlocked bootloader. After that your phone should boot. If it doesn't you will need to get into recovery mode and do a factory reset. Here is a link to the unlock tool.

I've been searching all night for how to recover from this. I was trying to get upgraded to Jellybean, but ended up in this soft brick state after RSDLite. Read a lot of tricks, but this batch file made it about as easy as it could ever be! Thanks!
Unfortunately my phone is still hosed. Wifi/bluetooth goes in and out and sometimes crashes the phone all together. It's the exact same thing my last one did after about a year, and it's right at a year again. No warranty this time around though. Guess I'll upgrade to the Nexus 4 or something.
Dont give up

This can be fixed!!
I started having this problem after rooting and installing custom rom. It does not matter which rom you install. The only fix I have found is to unroot and return to stock..
Once you root and install your rom the phone works fine, until you reboot. Then it just hangs at the padlock screen. You have to pull the battery and reboot into recovery, format, and reinstall the rom, or go back to stock... HELP!!!!!!
When originally rooting did you let supersu update and select normal?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I did update, not sure about selecting normal. I don't remember seeing that option. What does the normal do?
You need to select normal when updating supersu when you open the app. And what recovery are you using? Have you tried installing goo manager and installing the script which is twrp that has auto loki.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Yea, I installed TWRP from goo.. I will root again and make sure I check normal.
I don't see the Normal setting. Could you point it out..
Ok... I'm a D.A. Both times I rooted, I missed the step of downloading SuperSU and updating it during the Root process. Thanks Black Hat.. Everything should be good now.
You're welcome. Let me know how you turn out!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I spoke to soon.. No Joy.. I managed to get it to reboot one time. Now stuck at Custom Padlock, again.
i'm actually having the same issue. i followed the directions to root using the pre-release kernel and odin. i updated the SU binaries and selected Normal when it asked me. after that i installed the custom recovery using GooManager. now when i install a ROM and reboot it hangs. wonder whats going on. hopefully someone can help us out

I wonder what's going on. If you're missing a step or something. Idk I've installed last night upon release. Rebooted a couple times. Didn't have an issue. When I wiped. I wiped data system cache and dalvik twice. Then installed the rom and rebooted. Restored my apps and settings. Let it settle for a sec and rebooted again. Didn't have any issues.
People that are stuck at padlock screen. You're using the latest twrp autoloki? Can you get back into recovery even though you can't get past padlock. And how long do you wait at the padlock?

i installed TWRP using GooManager. it said it was version 2.5.0.2. yes, i can get back into recovery. and the padlock screen stays there indefinitely. i am in the process of odin-ing back to stock so i'm gonna start over and we'll see how it goes. hopefully this resolves it. can't live with Stock TouchWiz.
EDIT---
yes, i hit normal and flashed back to stock kernel from the pre-release.
So it booted fine once. How long were you in it? Did you install anything or configure anything or did you install boot it up. And reboot and notice it won't come back up and hangs?
Because I've been told X posed doesn't work yet even though it's in the rom and if you install it. It'll soft brick and you'll need to dirty flash or reinstall.

Until I have time to clean this up I figured I would post this now and we'll update it later.
It's more important to make sure people have this while testing new things.

As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.
Link to Stock ROMs:

Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
TESTED AND WORKING - Great Work bud!
Any other DL links? Its not downloading anything.. On either link. Thanks
EDIT: Might be on my end I think it is working now. I already did something and messed it up. Very easy fix but I cant believe the n00b mistake I did lol. Oh well

i redownloaded the rom twice and have had the same result. I am using TWRP. i think ill use odin, update the ROM though OTA and reroot and install TWRP again. don't know why my phone is being dumb and not booting the ROM, just bought this beast and i wanna play around with it
What's up guys, I'm running into an unusual issue here and could really use some guidance. I tried searching around, and the only solution I KNOW will work is to start from scratch, using odin to go back to stock, re-rooting, and then slowly trying to work my way back to where I was before the FUBAR.
So, I was recently using LiquidSmooth 2.9 and went to make the leap to 3.0. Flashed everything, got confirmation that it went through ok, and then I just got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen, nothing happens after that. So, I went to restore from the backup that I took earlier and I got a failure to restore.
Not to worry, I figured, I'll just reinstall from the zips for 2.9 that I still had on my SD card. Well, I do that and everything seems to work fine with the flash, but now I'm STILL stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot screen and STILL, nothing happens after that.
Any suggestions on what to do here? Flash a new kernel? Am I stuck going the long route and having to Odin everything back to stock and then re-root, etc?.

Id download the latest liquid file again just in case that file was corrupt somehow.
That's usually been the problem lately from what I've been seeing. You really shouldn't have to Odin.
Also the kernel shouldn't matter but I always flash kts latest kernel with liquid but others don't and have no issues.
Grab that file again
Do a couple wipes in recovery
