it never booted, after leeving it off yesterday it actually made it to TWRP, so I think its something hardware related...

So, im trying to install an update that i received a notification for...i believe its the one that helps with 3g connectivity and what-not. But while trying to install it, I rebooted to a black screen with a ! inside a triangle and the little android standing next to it...what does that mean?
I let it sit for a GOOD long while, yet nothing happened. Does this mean i can never update?
***This has been solved. My last post in the thread says what i did.***
If you are rooted and you tried to do the OTA then you'll brick your phone.
i was rooted with stock. the OTA came up while i was texting and normally i hit reject, but i accidently hit ok while texting and now every time i start up, it says "Powering Down..."
Any OTA flashed over a rooted device will brick it, I believe.
Edit: Well I found this. May help.

Glad to hear you're good to go!
Don't flash OTAs when you're rooted next time!

So i got this lovely update from Verizon. I rooted using the one touch but never made any changes to the phone. Still using default UI etc. Just rooted to access saves, overclocking.
So the update reboots the phone, starts installing, and fails. Then i can go to the menu and reboot the phone. It will come all the way on, and immediately just shuts down and tried the update again. Stuck in this vicious cycle. Help?
Mount the SD card either in recovery or on a PC and see if there is a PG05IMG.zip on it. Remove it if so, then reboot.

You can't install an OTA if your rooted, even if you haven't made any changes. The problem is the custom recovery (e.g. ClockworkMod)
When the update tries to install the updated recovery, it sees that the old stock recovery isn't there, and fails.
As far as recovering from that, I'm not entirely sure.
Seeing as you used the one touch root, I doubt you installed the S-Off eng bootloader. Try what the above poster suggested first.
Thanks for the replies guys. I did have s-off, but yeah ill tell you i tried what he suggested with no luck.
I ended up being ok i made another clockwork backup, did a full restore from a backup before the date of the update, then did just a data restore from the backup i had just made. Phone is back to normal. Thanks for the responses, ill give you both marks for being helpful
I'm in the same boat, except I was silly enough to not have a backup made. I do not see the PG05IMG.zip from recovery. Any other possible ways to fix this? If I have to clear all my data and start again, I'm ok with that though I'd obviously prefer not to do that.
Boot into clockwork recovery and wipe cache only.

This same issue has happened to me with the Verizon update. Long story on how it i clicked okay to the update. I told it reject at least 3 times already.
Anyway - i was stuck in this nasty reboot cycle. I was lucky to have a backup from March when I first rooted my TB. Not having a more recent backup is my bad.
So I have worked most of today with near factory settings from my recovered backup and now I am restoring todays backup to see if I can fix this reboot BS.
I did the Wipe Cache from ClockMod and when the phone rebooted it gave the prompt to reinstall the update which I cancelled. So success!!! Now I can clean up my junk apps and do a proper backup to protect myself in the future.
something weird has happened and my phone wont boot stuck on Samsung logo and every time i boot into twrp recovery it asks for pass? i never set a pass so idk whats going on and so i press cancel and every time i try to wipe or factory reset or anything it says failed?
Edit: I did a format data and that worked luckily... i still dont know what was up with all that and it boots into rom until i restart phone then hangs at samsung logo again????
Edit: Found a fix!!! Read POST #6
twrp asking for pass?
:good:
after restarting phone still gets stuck on samsung logo?
it also still asks for password in recovery?
Had the same thing happen to me. I also got it to work after formatting the phone and reinstalling the image but after the first reboot the problem reappeared.
I was able to get Verizon to DOA my phone but you might have luck with flashing stock with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 if the issue reappears
If this fixes the problem let me know because I am very hesitant about installing TWRP and custom roms on the S4 at this point but if this solves the problem that will be huge.

You will lose root and go completely stock but at least now I am confident I cant brick my phone after finding out this worked
Same Problem here.. I did the Store Restore and all was good.. BUT, I then rerooted and the problem reappeared.. Is there any fix so we can root ?
I'm on Lollipop and the ROM I'm using is the unbloated ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=67340331#post67340331).
My phone died, I got back in my hotel room and currently charging my phone. I turned it on and it's stuck on the LG logo. I've let it sit for an hour and still never fully booted.
Can anyone tell me what I can do? I can get into TWRP and all that.
Restore your latest backup

Don't have one. Do I need an sdcard for creating backups?
Also, I ended up doing a factory reset, it kept the ROM. Reinstalled all my apps, the phone died again and it got stuck on the LG boot logo again.
Just did another factory reset.
Trying to narrow it down to what is causing it. I doubt updated apps are causing it?
So it has been a VERY, VERY, long time since I attempted to root a device. I admit, that I completely forgot most of what I knew from back in the day rooting like the Motorola OG Droid. Here's the deal. I tried rooting a USC XT1526 and I had no idea what I was doing. I followed the steps through and managed to install TWRP and SU. So I assume I got full root. Well The issue started after I got an UPDATE AVAILABLE message and tried to go through with the OTA Update. When it got to the point of installing the OTA Update, my device turned off like normal but instead of updating, it booted into TWRP recovery. It didn't update at all and when I booted my phone normally, it kept trying to update so my phone turn off (loop) every time it tried to install the update. I did a factory reset and it stopped rebooting. I later tried to flash back to fully stock but I believe I might have downloaded the wrong file because I now have a device with no WiFi. Can someone please help me.
