Tried flashing a custom rom on rooted 5.0 but something went wrong. Now my phone only boots to samsung screen with custom lock symbol then shuts back down shortly after and does not boot up at all after that unless i take the battery out. I tried following www . droidviews . com/install-lollipop-on-verizon-galaxy-s4-and-keep-root/ this guide but I couldnt get odin to successfuly flash the stock rom. Can anyone please help me or tell me what i need to do to fix this??
What rom did you try to install and how did you install it?

I extracted some filed to my phone now it wont start, so I am trying to install some stock roms with odin, but will this possibly brick it? I have the bell canada version i think.
How else can i fix this?
What do you mean it wont start, does it bootloop, do you see the i9100 logo, a yellow triangle, or will it not turn on at all.
Can you get into CWM recovery or download mode? If you can only get into download mode, odin will work fine, just make sure to flash the proper roms. (If you have the i9100G, Do not flash the i9100 roms and same of the opposite)
successfully installed
I've successfully installed using odin..just use the search button for the steps and procedure of installation.
Factory reset first .

I recently rooted the phone and wanted to install a custom rom. When I tried to back up the current stock rooted rom with rom manager, someone went wrong. So I was then stuck on a flashing black screen. But I can still access Odin/download mode. But whenever I try to flash something, it flashes, but the screen just reboots back to the flashing black screen. Help please I dont know what to do
What firmware base did you start from, and what method did you use to root the phone?
Rom Manager is not recommended for use on the I777 phone. You need a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery to back up the phone. Did you try to install ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager?
Need more information before we can help. So, answer the above, and provide as much detail in addition as you can.
I almost messed my phone up by not rooting or flashing a ROM the proper (safe) way and ended up using a return to stock / unroot guide to start fresh and just follow the guides for rooting and installing ROMs from there.
Well here's the story..... So I want to install a custom ROM via SS, the install goes without issue. (I'm running stock NK1 Rooted at the time) I go to install a ROM , and It fails, so I go to reboot the device, and Its back into a bootloop. No big deal, iv'e delt with this before... .I attempt to flash it back to stock NC5 to root it and start over, the flash succeeds, but when I try to boot it i just get the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo and it sits there doing nothing, and I cant boot into recovery for some reason, just goes back to ODIN mode. Is there anything that can be done?

Try a reflash via Odin. It may help. Which image are you flashing?

ok, I', usually pretty good at rooting and such having my galaxy S4 for many years now but I got this Galaxy Star for work just to use it off wifi and bluetooth but it had 4.1 and i needed it on 4.4 for it to work so I knew i needed to root it, load recovery and find an updated rom.
I Odin'd CWM recovery and all I got was a white screen when going into recovery mode. didnt matter what i tried. I wound up flashing a file that also wiped out my download screen, now all I see it a blueish/white screen for download mode, but I can odin files ok.
I've tried every stock recovery hard reset file i can find online and nothing helps. Any help is appreciated. Is there any samsung stock firmware somehere that wipes everything???

You need to flash FireLord1's CWM 6.0.5.1 on stock ROM, otherwise you will get a whitescreen trying to enter.
I know it works with both Indian and Eaten European firmwares.
ok, so i need a link to a the stock rom and his CWM. I can find indian firmware i think.
Weird thing is, I can hear it boot up, Samsung Kies and Odin see it just fine. Just a black screen for everything now.
got it back working with this firmware..
