I apologize if this has been covered have been looking for the last few hours
I followed the instructions for the hyperdrive update to install to new bootloader during install of new hyperdrive from it got stuck at 70% and reset it. after that safestrap was no longer on the phone and would take me to the stock bootloader but would just loop on bootloader, is there any way to help fix this. any help would be greatly appreciated. I was trying to find a way to see if i could install safestrap but it being an apk havent found a way through only stock bootloader

I have no idea what you are meaning thru stock bootloader. Do you mean thru stock recovery? Are you saying you are stuck in a boot loop?
What was your firmware, what Rom version were you running, what safestrap did you have loaded....need some basic info

I still had safestrap on the phone and then proceded to install hyperdrive rom rls 17.1. During the install my phone got stuck at 70% instll and the rebooted. From there now itgoes to the samsung start up and the goes to the stock recovery where it asks me to either reboot, install from adb, install from extenal and so on. If i click reboot will just take me back to samsung svreen and then the.stock recovery

Use Odin to flash the factory image again that will restore the phone back to factory settings. Sounds like you are on MDK which at this point is valuable to those who can't get it. So just d/l the right code you can find it here http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
I'm actually on me7. the phone was upgraded in the store. its rooted, but, everytime i try to go into recovery, I get the message "downloading do not...." I am able to boot the phone up correctly, however, I just need to return the phone. no custom ROM has been installed, just rooted. This only happen after trying to install TWRP.
Thanks

You can't flash a factory image in recovery mode. Like RaptorMD said, you need to find the factory image and flash it in Odin. There's a link to the ME7 factory image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357235&highlight=factory+image
Have TWRP recovery installed. Just installed the eclipse rom was running great. Rebooted the phone and it won't boot. Tried to boot into recovery but now will only get to the samsung screen with the unlocked icon and custom.
Please help direct me. Already tried this and still nothing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Anyone have ideas? I would rather not restore to me7. Suggestion to fix without losing unlock?
There is a "no wipe" restore file for MDK, I believe.
Hey guys Im trying to get my rooted and ROM'ed ME7 Galaxy S4 back to barebone stock as Im trying to sell the phone.
What things have I done to my phone?
Ive rooted my ME7 S4 and then loaed Safestrap recovery and installed a custom rom on slot 1
Now in the process of trying to get my phone back to stock I did a wipe from safestrap on the stock rom slot which reset the stock rom I then booted from the stock rom n downloaded safestrap and was able to uninstal safestrap so now my phone boot up to a fresh clean s4 without any safestrap recovery splash screen
however my problem is in order to sell my phone I have to be able to do a reset from the settings then accounts tab and backup and reset button
however when I do this the phone reboots and has the Could not do normal boot error odin mode
I assume since I removed the safestrap recovery there is no recovery software at all now?
Can anyone tell me how I can get stock recovery back onto my phone and heres the kicker if at all possible to do so without the use of a PC as I currently dont have access to one but if thats the only way still pkease let me know how I can get stock recovery back
Also im not really concern with unrooting the phone as long as I can get back into the stock recovery. Also if anyone is wondering yes I can install safestrap again and it will boot up like how I had my rooted n rom setup
I just need to get my stock recovery back so I can do factory data resets using the stock recovery n not the wipe method from safestrap recovery
thanks for any help

If you're going to sell it, plug it in to your PC and run the Verizon Recovery Assistant. It'll wipe and reinstall for you.
Just got my S4 in the mail today and the first thing I did was go looking for a Rom.
I rooted with towelroot and then installed Safestrap. My first flash was Slimkat but all it did was boot to a black screen. I went back to recovery and did a factory reset. Still black screen.
I re-booted to recovery and installed Google Play Edition. That got stuck on the boot logo for about 5 minutes. Went back to recovery and did a factory resit, still stuck on boot logo.
Next I installed Hyperdrive. stuck in bootloop for 15 minutes before I gave up and Odin'ed back to stock. any suggestion why I'm failing at installing custom roms?

Are you installing to the stock slot?
Yes. I have gotten the impression that you can ONLY install to the stock slot.

Assuming you are using Safestrap correctly.... check your downloads.
Also, slimkat is not compatible with your phone unless you are on mdk which I doubt. There is a process by which you can get the GPE ROM to run on our device if you aren't on mdk but I suspect all you did was flash the zip. We can't use AOSP Roms and if your going by the list of Roms in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297370 you will find most of them to be incompatible. There is no reason that Hyperdrive would get stuck in a bootloop unless there were something wrong with the install or your download.

Your right. I "Just flashed" I Odined back to stock and tried again, this time following the isntructions for flashing Hyperdrive and it's working fine. Imagine that! All i had to do was read the instructions.

I was trying to remove FRP on an old company phone and have successfully done it, but I can't seem to flash a stock rom or anything. I have tried installing safestrap but to no avail and every time I reboot, no matter what I've flashed in odin, it goes back to the same screens like in image 8 of this guide https://www.samsungsfour.com/tutori...y-smartphone-using-combination-firmware.html#
I have tried using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/rom-t4063873
to flash another rom and tried to install safestrap using this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/root-t4060701 and this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206 but every time it reboots or is supposed to go into safestrap, it just reboots into the factory binaries. Help?
It's a 950U

Which rom did you try to flash from factory binary? Which factory binary rom you flash originally? I had same issue on a different phone and I had to keep flashing various stock roms til they stuck.
And why are you trying to install safe strap? The g950u cannot be rooted in certain bootloader revisions...but yes it is possible on a certain bootloader version...which stock roms? Need more info dude
