black screen,with a big colorfull S,&, it stay there nothing else,
i am using oding to load firmware,.how,are whata proceder,i,need to do.
to boot my phone back normal, thanks for any help,.

sounds like a bootloop, very common so dont panic.
you have download mode right ? if so, get yourself a 3 file firmware, load all them into odin. add a 512 pit, tick the re-partition box and press start.
that will fix your problem, then you can update to what ever rom you like

Make sure you're using a firmware that has bootloaders, just to make sure.

Hi yes i can download, file true oding,so far.
my galaxy is a i9000m,, so what firmware i must use.
thanks , again broww.

not too sure about the i9000 M - But ive heard great things about EZBase and EZROM very simple and friendly instructions,
id suggest to try that

Go with a stock firmware before you move on to a custom one again, for the I9000m a good option is JVO you can find them here

Go stock to get yourself back online and then move forward.
I'm on stock Froyo ATM. I9000UGKC1 is what I have in my settings. Look for UGKC1 from Samfirmwares, and don't forget to repartition to truly wipe your phone back to stock...

[Q] Problems with Rom toolbox CRASH HELPPP!!!

So i rooted my galaxy s4 with motochopper and everything seems to be working fine, however when i go to rom toolbox pro itll say "we detected that your rom is not deodexed" and when i go to the interface section...the only thing i can change are fonts...when i go to download any themes or status bar icons it goes to install and then a little window pops up and says "Unfortunately samsung link has stopped working" and more windows will pop up says the same thing but google play store, and other things...then sometimes itll say system process has stopped working and after i clicked ok on them all i click reboot from downloading the theme and thats it but the theme or status bar icons never change...
PLEASE HELPPP ive already tried reinstalling motochopper idk if i wanna try over-writing motochopper with a different rooting option...if i can please let me know...

Dude those themes and status bar icons are only for cm based roms. Romtoolbox pro is good for everything else other than what you have tried to do. Unless on cm/aosp.
ATT S4 Rooted. Beastin.
4.2.2

You can't download a custom recovery until we are able to get the bootloader unlocked. You need to read the development threads a little - particularly the one about Bootloader unlocked so you can learn about the challenge of getting the bootloader unlocked and what work has been done so far. Until the unlock tool has been released, there isn't much yuo can do. You really should not be messing around those tools on Rom Tool Box until you have until you have a custom revcovery you can use to create a back up and then mess around the way you are.
Good Luck - if I were you - I wouldn't try that stuff anymore until the bootloader unlock is out - probably towards the end of the month (hopefully) or you are going to brick your phone. (if you do end up brkcking the phone or screwiing it up real bad - you can use Samsung Kies to return to full stock - or you can download the original firmware and flash it with Odin. You can find that too in the develpment thread - just make sure you choose the right Firmware to flash - I beleive youi will find here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
I hope this helps.

Here's my advice...I recommend you do a little research about rooting, modding, and romming before you do anything else. This is for your benefit and only yours since most people will tend to just ignore helping you if you screw up from not reading THOROUGHLY first. You will screw your phone up to the point where you have an expensive paper weight if you do not know what you are doing.

Flashing New Rom (Solved)

Hey guys, I am having trouble flashing a new rom onto my phone. I used to flash my Galaxy S3 almost every day, and for some reason, I am having trouble with the S4. I have rooted it, and installed Team Win Recovery Project v2.5.0.2 and sometimes the Rom will flash and work, like PA worked first time, so did MIUI Rom, but trying Most of the others they either say failed, or... they go through the whole installation process through the Recovery for Android Revolution HD, and then it boot loops, take battery out, put back in and wipe everything and it just stays on the first Samsung Logo and that's it.
Is there something I am missing?
I am wiping eveyrthing as well before I do it.
Any help will be really appretiated
Thanks

My bad lol, in work and was typing fast.
Basically, when I flashed ParanoidAndroid on my phone, and it worked great, then I changed it to MIUI which worked great,
then I decided to Flash Omega Rom, which was fine, but the WIFI doesn't work for me.
So I tried to Flash Android Revolution and it goes through the Installation Process with no problems and goes into Boot Loop, even though I have done a full wipe of the device.
I am in the middle of Flashing Android Revolution now, for the 3rd time, and it has been on 10% installation for 10 minutes. This is all it says at the moment...

Android Revolution HD by mike1986

>>>Formatting partitions
(system is unmounted already)
(preload is unmounted already)
-- that's it --

Sorted, thanks anyway.
Just incase someone else is in the same situation,
All I did was take the battery out for 30 minutes or around that time, and just flash the rom, I didn't wipe or anything else, just flashed and done.
For people having Wifi issues, flash a different Kernel like Adam Kernel, that seems to work for me.

[Q] I9505 Rooted & Unlocked - Boot Loop

Hey,
I just got my galaxy. Rooted it yesterday to delete bloatware.
I tried being really careful with what I delete but I must have delete something essential, my phone won't go past the samsung logo.
I'm actually really freaked out. I rooted using Odin but didn't quite get to anything else.
I tried battery pull, didn't work. Same as for wiping data in recovery mode. Don't know if it means something but when I tried wiping cache, it gave me a little dead android pic and restarted.
Right now I'm waiting for a stock firmware to download (BTW, I9505 isn't officially sold in my country, so I downloaded a UK version. I hope that's alright).
After it downloads I'll try to flash it using a guide from XDA.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I could really use your help...
Thank you!
Edit:
Flashed it. Turns out I downloaded a German version (What my phone originally came with).
I just want to ask - Is there anything wrong or worse with being with this firmware? What are the differences between UK and German firmwares for an unlocked device?
Thank you

Okay thank you very much!
Is there anything different I should do next time? (Besides let the bloatware live)
I read about rooting with recovery (CWM?). Can someone please explain a bit about it (How to do it and why isn't it the regular root)?
Btw, I saw that there are a few other rooting tools besides Odin. How are they different?
And what's BusyBox? I'm really sorry about all the noob questions. Every guide I find keeps referring to other terms that I don't understand
Thank you!

[Q] Need Help! I bricked my Sprint Galaxy S4!

So I bricked my Sprint GS4. I don't even want to get into how it happend. I was an being dumb and messing around with my rooted S4. I bricked it a while back but managed to find and install the stock rom and fix it.
I'm having trouble this time around because I wiped all system files. I only get the S4 logo screen when turning it on. I was on 4.2.2 VPUFNAE. I currently downloading the SPH-L720 VPUAMDC stock rom in hopes that I can flash it on my phone with Odin. I guess my question is...will I be able to flash that stock rom back on my phone without having to do anything else?
I know very little bit about this stuff. I research a lot and that's how I know what I currently know. Sorry if I sound ignorant or like a noob. I'm just really desparate to get my phone back. I'm truly greatful for any help I can get!

Hi mate ,
+1 with charris , as long you can get into download mode there is no problem , do the 3 buttons combo ang see if you can , flash stock and back into business , also if you have installed a custom recovery you could flash a custom rom that would solve the problem also

Thanx guys! Much appreciated! I fixed it. Just had to download the correct stock rom. Soo relieved!!
