search the forum n there are many useful posts for getting back to recovery like very detailed posts so search the first before creating new threads ...
if nothing helps like when u tried everything then go to local repair shop .. , they will charge max 40$ but that will save ur warranty.

Make sure you wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing and allow the rom to fully install in safestrap before trying to reboot. Safestrap will prompt you when it's completed. Hopefully I'm understanding your question.
Hey people of XDA,
It's my first time posting so forgive me if its a repeat or dumb question but here goes my story :
I bought a used S4 that was rooted + aws enabled. It was working fine until one day it got stuck on the Samsung logo during boot. I tried clearing cache and factory resetting from the recovery but that didnt work. So I proceeded to reverting the phone to the stock rom with odin, which I got from Android rootz ( Google telus s4 stock rom, its the first link ).
So that worked, the phone booted its 4.2.2 but , no Wifi and no sound no AWS. My question are :
- Why arent the wifi and sound working if it was stock ?
- can I root my S4 following the steps in this thread : (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 ) ?
- does it matter which version of Android im on ? for instance, I was thinking about installing the stock kikat for telus before rooting ?
- Does it matter if i use odin 1.85 vs newer versions
THANKSSS

1. I would install 4.4.2
2. If it wont work with odin1.85 use the 3.09 version
3. Install philz touch recovery and select "clean to install a new rom" so everything will be cleaned and the wifi should work fine after flash with odin
4. root it with www.towelroot.com
5. I hope I answered all your questions
Hey,
I really appreciate your help...i just started all this stuff yesterday so lm going to look into philz touch recovery. Also I think I know how to root using odin so im just going to do that once my phone starts working ( unless that doesnt work on 4.4.2 ? )
However, Right now can i just use odin to add in kit kat stock rom for telus ( or any other stock rom for that matter - maybe the one i used was bad )? I honestly want to worry about rooting and AWS after getting the phone fully functional
Thanks again i really appreciate your help

you need a recovery that is compatible with your device.
What was the full filename of the recovery you installed?

An S5 Clone?

You can't use genuine S5 tools for a fake S5

Hi. Your Phon is a S5 Made in Vietnam SM-G900H. Do you know how to hard reset for this one?
Thank you
If you wiped your system then a hard reset won't fix anything. You will need to search the Internet for the exact firmware for your phone and flash it. Nothing on xda will be made for your phone. As of now, you have no operating system to boot to. Good luck
