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?

Hi everyone, i've got a huge problem with my i9300, i've got the foxhound/[email protected] rom since a week, and everything worked fine, i updated once without problems, however today i did the update with usual procedure, but now i've rebooted and i'm stuck on a bootloop after the apps optimizing part, where Android tries to optimize two apps, then open them, but then boot animation starts again over and over.
I tried going into recovery but it did not do anything, so i i tried flashing CWM via Odin, however now if i try starting in recovery only the samsung boot screen shows up and stays there forever.
Please help me

Go to CWM recovery and do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot and restore your apps.

Is it possible to do so without wipe data ? I've got loads of things in there and my precedent Ti backup does not include them

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS I MANAGED TO GO TO RECOVERY AND DO THE UPDATE AGAIN, NOW MY PHONE WORKS PERFECTLY WITHOUT LOSING DATA !!!!
Thank you really really much for this
Hello all, could use some help here.
I'm trying to restore my Note to the factory ROM and I'm running into an issue.
Fyi, I had the latest Paranoid JB Rom from Oct 13.
I followed the proceedures outlined in the forums (used ODIN to restore the default "attstockrom") and after that restore the phone would loop rebooting into ATT rethink possible animation screen.
I found and downloaded the latest 4.04 rom for the phone (I717UCLF6) and rebooted. Now it just hangs at the "ATT Rethink possible" graphic (no animation, no loop).
Odin does see the device fine so I can reflash again with no problems if I need to. I'm thinking of trying the I717UCLA1 version from Jan to see if that works but I'm hoping I can get some better advice before I do something that might cause more permanent problems.
Any advice on how to get back to stock ICS (or even JB) and get the phone working again?
Thanks!
Try doing a factory data/cache wipe from Recovery.
I flashed the stock rom via ODIN. There is no factory data/cache wipe since there's no custom recovery.
Are you suggesting flashing CWM/TWRP on the phone now then doing that?
Houston we have liftoff. Thanks for the tip Fappa, that got me into the phone (reinstalled cwm, factory reset). However I'd still like to remove CWM and go back to completely stock....
I'm not overly worried about it as I'm selling the phone but I'd like the new owner to have a completely clean phone in case they need to send it in at some point for repair. But in any case it's up and running with CWM and factory ICS rom.

I'm sure fappa meant to use the stock android recovery and wipe. when I go back to stock it always hangs at AT&T boot logo and have to wipe/reset from stock recovery to get it to boot.

Yes do what they say or you will continue to boot loop.

Just bought a used phone off Swappa. It has TWRP and had Cyanogenmod installed.
I wanted to try a TouchWiz ROM so I downloaded one. Booted into recovery, made a backup to external SD Card and then flashed the ROM. It said it flashed
successfully but when rebooted, it just stayed at the Samsung Galaxy S4 Boot
screen.
I tried restoring the backup, but it failed!
I thought I might have had a bad download so I downloaded Cyanogenmod nightly and LiquidSmooth on my laptop, transfered to the SD card, popped it into the S4, boot into recovery, and tried flashing each, and both just boot to the boot screen and freeze.
What are my best options now? I saw some guides for flashing back to stock via Odin, but requires that I know if I am on VRUAME7 or VRUAMDK and I don't know. Could I have been on ME7 and running Cyanogenmod? Doesn't seem possible, no?
Me7 ota doesnt have the ability to flash custom recovery or rom, so no you werent on that beforehand. Whenever you flash a rom you need to do a wipe/factory reset and wipe caches, unless op states you can dirty flash. Doing some reading will only help you out, generally every post outlines the installation process. Boot to recovery do your wipes then try booting again. If your still in a bootloop then you will need to flash mdk via odin then start the rooting and romming process over.

Man, I thought I did everything right.
First, did a backup.
Then full wipe with TWRP full wipe, including cache.
Then flash ROM
I'll have to get familiar with Odin and find the MDK images.
Sometimes that happens. Could have been a bad download then it happens more often then you would think. If theres an md5 hash posted its a good idea to verify the download is good. In the dev section theres no wipe mdk images posted so you wont lose your already installed apps and data.

So I downloaded the factory image and flashed via Odin, but accidentally flashed via bootloader rather than PDA. It wouldn't start - still hung at the boot screen, so I re-flashed via PDA and it is still hanging at the boot screen.
Now I don't know if it is just the same problem as before, or if I messed something up with flashing through bootloader. Can I reflash something via the bootloader section of Odin to restore it?
What version of twrp? And try to go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.

Not sure what version it was because it's now back to factory recovery. I did go back into it and did a factory wipe and it booted!
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!

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

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.

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!

ok, redownloaded hyperdrive and verified the MD5.
before I try again for #4, when I wipe dalvik, system, cache, I should do it through safestrap correct? I did see an option in the hyperdrive install for a full system wipe..

I'd say do it before that, in recovery. Then do it again in SS if you can. That way you can be sure you got the right one, and the other one won't matter.
