Hey Everyone.. not sure what I did here.
I was rocking Superclean 2.3 NV with out any issues, decided to venture to the world of Voodoo and install the 2.4 voodoo version. Ever since than I have been unable to install themes/restore backups/install new rooms. I get stuck in a boot loop. I then go into RED CWM to restore my backup and get stuck in a boot loop there as well. I have since flashed the EB01 deoxed via odin to try to get rid of VoodDoo and have the disable_lagfix file in the voodoo folder and flashed back Red CWM though Odin. Able to use phone fine, but as soon as I flash a rom/theme I get stuck in the same boot loop and unable to restore backup.
I next ODIN'd DL09 full package, manually got root/cwm and flashed 2.4NV and updated to EB01 Modem. Attempted to update to Blackhole 4.21 with lagfix_disable and red CWM and got stuck in the bootloop again.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi, after flashing some ROMs (Omega) the phone booted normally, installed some apps and rebooted. But after that, the phone stay at Samsung GalaxyS4 screen and no furhter movement... I flashed new Stock ROM via ODIN with NO errors, but again when booting, it stay at Galaxy s4 screen... Tried and flash the PIT file with the stock ROM as well, but the same.. after the flash, it strat rebooting, and stuck on the Samsung GALAXYS4... Any ideas what to do?
Boot into recovery - home/vol up/ power wipe cache, factory reset etc then look for your default firmware from sammmobile and use odin to flash.
Don't mess with pit you will just screw it up doing stuff like that.

firstly flash a new stock rom using odin without pit.. then do a factory reset in recovery
Of course I tried to do this first... But I cannot go into recovery mode. While holding the three keys, the phone vibrated, screen went black... and that is. When release the keys it starts booting but not to go into recovery.. Tried to flash the stock recovery via odin. It flashed, but again - cannot go into trecovery

Try flashing other things with Odin. Like a kernel or CWM recovery. Something might work.
After many tries, I could managed to enter the Recovery mode . It showed no mount of /data... but after Wipe it worked
I'm not sure why i can't get it working but i was flashing back to stock rom. I have the correct rom and everything flashes fine on odin. I am unable to reboot to recovery. it says its loading and goes to black screen, and tries to boot to OS again. I tried flashing twrp with odin and same thing. I flashed the stock rom multiple times and it just won't boot. I even used Kies to flash it to stock rom and it was successful however stuck at boot logo again. The one thing i didnt do was wipe data/cache etc before flashing to stock rom but every tutorial i seen doesnt state to do it before the flash anyway. Has anyone ran into this problem before?
How are you able to get into download mode to flash rom but not be able to go into recovery? I had this issue once with my note 2 and went into recovery and wiped data and rebooted successfully....
I had Mint Jelly2.1 installed and everything was working fine.
it started when I had used the APK Hide It Pro. I was in the process of hiding videos and I noticed that my phone got rebooted and got stock in the Samsung boot up image with the Custom Lock image.
I tried nandroid restore, 2 images, but both also failed to restore / bootup.
I tried re-installing ROM and it was successful but during reboot, it will still get stock on the boot image.
Last step.
I used ODIN to restore the stock ROM and ODIN was able to install and reset. And my phone rebooted but still got stock on the Samsung Logo with CUstom Lock Screen.
What else can I do to fix this?
Thank you.
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. I assume you now have 3e stock recovery because of ODIN. This might or might not help. If you have any questions about recovery, please use the search function for information. If for some reason you still have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), try re-flashing an AT&T ROM and Kernel again. Everything you try is at your own risk. Good luck.

I had tried to restore/flash from recovery before ODIN and it all Failed.
Anyway, the last step ODIN restore and it was still stock at the Samsung Logo with Lock image.
I left the phone to charge the whole night and this morning when I turned it on, it was able to start properly with ODIN stock ROM.
I tried to go to recovery, and can only be done manually, and it was not the TWRP recovery but the stock one, with very small characters.
I tried to install Mint Jell2.1 right away but just reboots.
I realized that I might need to root it again and downloaded the Tool and re-loki'ed/rooted and installed TWRP.
Now, I am able to install Mint Jelly 2.1 and restoring all my apps.
I appreciate the comment.
Thank you.

Yeah, every single time I ODIN back to stock, I get stuck at the splash screen also. And rebooting to 3E (factory) recovery and "restore factory defaults" works great.

I am running out of options. I thought I am already out of this stuck on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock icon.
I had ODIN to stock I337UCUAMDL and reset, Ran Loki patch / installed TWRP, intermittently it will get stuck.
I flashed Shoshock 1.9, was able to reboot and setup basic settings.
I manually reboot to check if it was able to fix the problem, but no.
I am stuck again and don't know what is the next step for trouble shooting it.
any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I got stuck to 1st boot image of Samsung with Lock Custom Icon.
I did format data/factory reset/clear cache/dalvik.. all of the wipe ootions.
I flashed a new ROM, successful, rebooted pass the logo and booted fine. I did not change any settings yet and I rebooted to check if it will get stuck again and sure after reboot, it got stuck again on the 1st image that shows up : Samsung Logo with the Lock Custom Icon.

IMPORTANTwhen using*twrp*recoverydo not choose "format data"(that option will ask you to type "yes")what if i did?rom will not boot past "padlock" boot screen orrom will not boot on second reboot*help!! I did, I did*1. sigh2. d/l odin3. d/l odin stock restore MDL4. let it do its thang5. after its complete it will be stuck at padlock6. should have "rtfm" huh?*7. pull battery8. hold home button, vol-up, power at same time9. when phone vibrates, release power, while still holdingvol-up, and home button10. you will now be in "stock recovery"11. wipe factory reset then wipe cache12. reboot*13. swear you will never "ignore instructions"
So the problem here is that my phone won't enter recovery mode. I think it's because it's deleted. I installed safestrap and did a factory wipe but it gave me errors(something about datamedia/media) so i just deiced it's best to deal with it in the morning, so i rebooted. The phone stayed on my boot logo(Samsung Custom) and then things started to get worse. I hold the 3 buttons and it reboots. Only problem is that the blue "entering recovery mode" text shows up for a split second and then gives me the android figure you would see if you were in download mode for another split second and then reboots.
I know that MF3 is having some flash problems so i can't flash the stock rom because i already tried with 2 different stocks rom. I also already tried to use the custom pit files that were used to fix the bootlop issue with kies or whatever (adonis.pit, MF3_BTL_FIX and SGS_I337_16GB), which came out with no luck.
Is there a way to flash the stock rom on MF3?
Is there a way to get my recovery back so i can wipe everything?
Or is my only option to got to best buy have them flash the stock rom...
