Had you made a nandroid backup before you tried restoring it? You'll need to find the Sprint RUU and run it. It will flash you back to stock. It's on here in a bunch of places. Sorry that I can't provide a link
so basically i would have to do the sprint ruu, then root again, then flash, then bah bah bah, same ol same ol? and would you know why my internet stopped working, was working all day today fine then boom just stopped. it was pretty weird.

My apologies, as I wasn't sure where to post this.
For a long time now I've been running CM7 both the nightlies and the weeklys with no issues. Yesterday I decided I would try Neutrino ROM and installed GT 2.5. After that I noticed I had no data connection so I attempted to patch the ROM using Notorious's recommendations to no avail so I installed 2.2 and the Google addons, Sync, etc..
All was working great, however everyone said 2.5 was better in the forums so I installed it again today and attempted to patch as explained and this time was successful. I had data connection again and all was well. About an hour later I went to use my phone and it was completely black.
I attempted to power it up and nothing happened. I finally had to pull the battery and was able to get it to boot up properly, however my data connection was gone again. I ran the sysctl -p command in terminal again and rebooted it to no avail. I finally decided to go back to 2.2 which worked properly last night, however after installing from the zip and the addon zips it went to the 'Dual Core' screen and then rebooted back to the 'Dual Core' screen and keeps doing that.
I attempted to go into Recovery Mode, however when it says 'Entering Recovery Mode' it just goes black and I can't power it back on. I then have to reseat the battery before I can get it to work.
I guess at this point, is there anything I can do to get my phone back? I've seen the hard brick messages and I don't have that (yet), but I am not sure, because I apparently can't get that far. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. I recommend taking it to a service center ( for me ATT has one I use.) and sometimes they can boot it up. Or they can maybe give you ideas.
Just to confirm you can't boot anything right??

Thanks for the response. I was unable to boot into Android Recovery, however I hadn't tried the others. After numerous searches I found information on how to use moto-fastboot to install RomRacer's Recovery image and after doing that I was able to get into Recovery (phew!). I did a complete wipe on the phone (Dalvik, system, etc) and installed Neutrino 2.2 with Lite gapps, United States (GPS), Sync, and Gtalk (for video) and shockingly it finally booted into the rom. I think at this point I'll leave it alone after restoring my apps via Titanium Backup.
My phone is now working again. Hopefully I can keep it that way.

trying again to flash the stock rom in odin will post soon if it starts up. but if not what do I do?

Hello,
I've got a problem with my gt-i9505.
I've managed to root the phone and install TWRP.
So i decided to install CM10.2 (21-08) and the right gapps for it.
Everything worked very good and I couldn't be happier.
All my apps were back and it was ready to use it!
I turned off the phone and went to sleep.
The next day i turned it on and it got stuck on the bootscreen (not the CM bootscreen, but the SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 bootscreen).
So I tried to do factory reset and install rom again, gapps again, afterwards again wipe dalvik and cache.
But i keep having the same problem. Right now after flashing the rom it doesn't even boot up the first time.
I also tried going back to 10.1, but same problem.
I don't know what to do, i just got my s4. Really hope i can fix it.
Luckily i can enter the recovery. But i didn't do a backup or anything.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get it working again?

Hi,
Look HERE
Put everything back to stock then, try again.
I found some 10.2 ROMS do not like rebooting,and just hang.
Remove the battery and try again normally worked.

Thanks for replying
I followed the instructions and succesfully installed the official stock rom for my device and region.
But it's still stuck at the samsung boot screen.
And now i can't boot into TWRP anymore either, is that correct?
After that I flashed with the .pit file. But still stuck on bootscreen.
Is there any other way to solve this problem?
idgaf about custom roms or CM10.2 anymore, i just want my phone to work.
Wether it's with custom or with stock firmware.
Really hope I didn't break my phone. :crying:
EDIT:
I wiped cache after flashing, but no data wipe/factory reset. That did the trick.
God i can't be happier my phone finally works again. Now i'm scared to flash a custom rom again. I think i need to install TWRP or CWM again too I'll just wait for now.
HELP! I've been using my LG G2 for around 3 months with mo problems at all. I'm rooted with Janjan's custom rom. This morning my phone froze, so i rebooted it. From then on i could not connect to my mobile network as well as Wifi networks. I can see the phone is also scanning the media files, and i cannot open any programs. The phone then restarts itself after about 20 seconds. If i turn the screen off, i cannot turn it back on.
I have already tried restoring to a backup i had on CWM, but the same thing happens.
Has anybody experienced this before? Any suggestions on what to do????
Thanks!
**Edit.
Was able to snap this pic before it rebooted on me again. The "Error" message, stays on even if i exit Settings.
Flash back to stock using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
But before you try to return to stock, make sure you completely wipe the device in CWM.

hey thanks for the reply. I've tried returning it to stock. Wiped cache and factory reset in CWM, and followed the tutorial to return to stock.
After the phone restarted, it showed stock boot animation and is totally stock now.
BUT the problem is still there. My phone continues to reset itself every 10-20 seconds, and still cannot connect to any networks.

Hmm, that is odd. Do you have a back up of the phone before you changed anything? i.e. a stock backup?
because it seem you may have wiped your EFS partition by accident.
No i don't have any backups, The only back up i had was a stable version of the ROM i was using. And it seems like when i reverted back to stock, all the files in the internal memory is erased as well.
So I rooted my phone long ago when it was new just to get wifi teather which worked great and has been ever since. I never installed the AT&T update that it kept asking me to do because I did not want to lose root and the teather ability. I recently installed CWM Touch Req0very because I wanted to try a new ROM. This worked fine and I can get into CWM now. I completed a backup using CWM, thankfully. I then tried to load the LiquidSmooth ROM for this phone. Before doing so I used CWM to complete a factory reset, cache wipe, and dalvik cache. I then chose the LS zip file and it loaded and appeared to be successful. I then rebooted and got the Samsung unlock padlock image for a few seconds and then the screen went dark and the power LED turned blue. I let it sit for a few minutes but nothing changed. I pulled the battery and rebooted but got the same. I then went back into CWM and restored my backup which took my phone right back to where it was, very thankful for that. What did I do wrong and how can I get the ROM to install properly?
I tried to reinstall the ROM and when it booted it got further. It went past the LS splash screen and then started pulsing the LS ying yang type logo. It did this for about 10 minutes so I pulled the battery and tried again which it just repeated the same process. I pulled the battery and restored my backup again. Nothing seems to work as easily as the hours and hours of videos and pages I've researched. Why does this seem to work so easily for everyone else?
