I encrypted my device aka bricked my device - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I encrypted my device, now all it says is to input the password, and when I do enter the correct password it just says, try again. It was rooted with some stuff deleted so I tried using odin to flash it from NG6 to NC5 It was a NG6 prior to encryption . Thanks

So now I updated it to NG6 and am just getting to the red Verizon boot up screen and then no more activity just stays lit. Any help seriously appreciated you will prevent me from making this thing a paperweight.

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

I used Nand and erase (is this what you mena by a wipe?) all in odin but still only gets to the red verizon screen and stops... also how do I do a factory reset I pressed the poawer home key and volume down but it only warns me about a costume os and then puts me into download mode.

Do the full wipe method here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
Sorry for slow response. Been busy.

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.

Unroot - Remove SU before or after?

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.

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.

Odin help pleasr day 2!

Ok well its looks like I a without a phone of course tech support on the phone sends me to the store. Store tech support cant do anything. Since the phone is over 30 day old they will give me a refurbished phone. But that's a problem there are none so they tell me to call Samsung??
So now I a on the phone with sprint but looks like in the end I a pounding sand. Without a mj4.tar to push with odin I have a brick!!!
QUOTE=claude9039u;47170179]I was on JB rom and updated to the last beta test rom and the following happened.
I installed 2.0.0 Beta on phone not storage card. I then made a back up before I flashed the rom then wiped cache, dalvic cache and system three times. I then installed rom, it booted up to my unlock pattern screen.
Now here is the problem every time I put in my unlock pattern the phone goes black comes back on to the unlock pattern screen again? I must have put in my unlock pattern 10 times and 10 times it goes black and starts up in the unlock screen. This does not appear to be a reboot more like a small shut down? I pulled battery same thing, I reinstalled 2.0.0 Beta, same thing.
So I restored my backup and the phone now goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Pulled the battery twice and same thing happened will not go pass the boot up Samsung screen and tone.
So I then go to recovery wipe everything Cache, dalvic, data and system. Restore the back up again and the phone does the same thing goes to the boot up Samsung screen and tone, then goes to unlock pattern for a few seconds and back to Samsung boot up screen? Keep just doing this pattern?
I then tried to restore to stock using ODIN and installed N900PVPUBMI5_N900PSPTBMI5_N900PVPUBMI5_HOME.tar.m d5 from JB's file and I get a fail each time?
I then downloaded KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI3-1378528567.tar and it installed passed but now I am stuck in the Samsung screen?
JB responded for me to do:

Try wiping data, system, cache and dalvic cache. then flash either official jellybomb ver. 1 or stock mj4 rom by freeza.
You cant go backwards from mj4 to older firmware... I dont believe...
So I did:
Since I installed KERNEL-SPR-N900PVPUBMI5-1379320673.tar I have a stock recovery so I ODIN'ed CF-Auto_root and then openrecovery-twrp. This gave me TWRP 2.6.3.7 and from there I wiped data, system cashe and dalvic cache. I then rerooted. TWRP told me I had no OS installed are you sure I said yes. TWRP then says your device does not appear to be rooted?? I then go back into TWRP and flash JB ver 1.0.0. It says install busybpx install kernel done updateing partition details... E: unable to mount '/usbstorage"
Successful so I then reboot system.
I get samsung screen and song that goes black and I get samsung note 3 screen and music. Screen goes black and it keeps on repeating itself?
JB came back and said
Ok. Lots of errors to your process there.. no need to do some of the steps.
So do this... if u have working twrp.
Factory reset in twrp.
Then install mj4 stock rom. And let it boot
I then did as he said
It appears that I have a working twrp so I down loaded SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2 from freeza. I went to twrp did a factory reset and flashed SM-N900p_HLTESPR-MJ4-Odes-v2
While flashing I did notice that it did not find MD5 file. In the end it says that it was a successful install. It rebooted did its thing, got to andriod upgrading and rebooted. Samsung screen song and got a process system isn't responding and it rebooted again doing the same thing?
And now I am in Samsung boot up screen get process system isn't responding and the phone keeps rebooting doing the same.[/QUOTE]
It looks that without a mj4.tar file to use odin my phone is dead
In twrp wipe everything then format data. You will have to type in "yes" to do this. Then flash freeza mj4. If this doesn't work then wipe and format data restore a nandroid factory reset then flash freeza rom. After flashing rom wipe all and format data again. Then reboot. Let us know if it works.

I also soft bricked my Note 3 over the weekend. Not because of Jellybomb Rom. I flashed an old MI5 file on accident after already being on MJ4. I kept getting stuck at sprint logo. Wipe everything. I mean everything. Then ODIN .tar file posted here on XDA. Phone has been working perfect since then.

In either of the above cases the phone boots up goes to the android update screen reboots then does a cycle of reboots showing Samsung screen and music then reboot?

Samsung Kies HAS to work. If it doesn't than your phone is broken.
You might try to mount your sd card in twrp and copy as many files as you can before the wipe (assuming you have anything left) (after everything else you've tried it's not likely you have any data worth saving)
Its been a nightmare but I called Samsung direct and they got the phone working???? How I have no idea they had me doing things that that I could not write down fast!!! But the bottom line is that I am on Mj4 and the phone is working??

If you clear cache and dalvik cache you won't lose any data or settings. If that doesn't work then do the factory reset in TWRP (safestrap) . That will make it as if you had a new phone. ( except the Safestrap and root access I believe). You will have to re download apps and change settings back to your liking, but it's better than having to odin back to stock.

safestrap failed wiping the regular cache, but dalvik worked. got to the lockcsreen again and it even gave me a vibrate for my pattern but then it shut off again. right after the verizon boot animation theres a popup window that says "Android is upgrading" with "optimizing app XXX of XXX". ive seen this before, but only very occasionally. what exactly does this mean?

I believe that is the normal process for dalvik to rebuild itself
"Android is upgrading" can come from wiping Dalvik cache, which is temporary info about your apps, that would need to be re mapped to the Android os. It can also come from doing a dirty flash or ota.
Your beginning post was about your data though, If you can get into safe strap then you should be able to mount your device to your pc, copy over what data you need, then wipe or Odin flash to bring it all back.

Smart, didnt know TWRP can do that. couldnt i just use the factory wipe feature in safestrap?
You could use factory wipe but your data at that point would be gone. If your not worried about the data then sure.
If data truly is not a concern though Just download the Odin tar for what build you want and start new.
To answer your other question think of Odin as a recovery disc you would use on your computer. Destructive restore. There are some good posts about here in xda or search Google for Samsung s4 Odin and I know your find some good reads.
Good luck

would it just be easier to do the safestrap wipe instead of an Odin one? ive read up on Odin and it seems a lot more complicated than just using safestrap
ive decided that data isnt important because most everything is saved in google play and plus. so what is the most reliable way to get my phone working again? Safestrap reset?

Stuck on splash screen, but still have TWRP

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?

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.

[Q] Bootloop Problem

I know I sound like a total noob for the title alone, but I think this is something more complicated than you may have probably thought. My father gave me a ring, but my phone was locked back then. Now, I tried to answer the call but the screen was black and blank but my back and menu keys were lighting up. But I had to "cancel the call", but I wanted to know the time back then, so I proceeded to try and unlock the phone but to no avail. So, I had to try and take out the battery since my phone probably had crashed or something. Now, upon rebooting I'm now faced with a bootloop problem. I tried reflashing my rom, formatting /system and also flashing my previous Kitkat roms but still to no avail. Now, I do hope a kind soul can help me with this problem... please?
Flash a full stock firmware with Odin, boot into recovery and factory reset. Check for any error messages in recovery then test.
It sounds like a partition corrupted, hopefully not permanently damaging the emmc chip.
