You still can't load into recovery? You used the right odin file?
You should be able to load recovery then wipe data/factory reset and it should work.

[Q] Need help installing Custom ROM on SPH-L720 MK2 Baseband

I used to have Verizon Gs3 and played a lot with Custom Roms.
Recently changed to Sprint Gs4.
I am on L720VPUEMK2 baseband.(Most recent Stock 4.3)
I did root my device by flashing CF-Auto-Root and Phil Touch Wiz 5.18.2 ( ODIN mode)
Here comes the challenge:
When I try to flash any custom rom using Recovery mode I am getting stuck at Boot screen with error.
Funny thing is If i use Cyanogen Mod Installer directly from My Laptop to flash 10.2 version.
I am guessing it has some thing to do with Samsung Knox Boot Loader.
Can some one help me with getting around this to flash custom Rom?
its been my experience with philz recovery once you factory reset you have to go into power menu and reboot into recovery again and then flash rom

So you are saying that Once I flash the Rom
1. Go back to Recovery and Do a factory Reset
2. Re-Flash the Desired Rom.
I tried this too.
Its not just Philz Recovery. I user CWM Recovery as well and having similar issues.

Use PC Odin to flash Philz latest recovery.
But in Odin don't check the "Auto Reboot". When Odin is finished unplug the phone and hard power it off or batter pull.
Edited for clarity - Meant AutoReboot

So when i did install custom Rom I am stuck on Samsung Galaxy s4 Screen
With Error
KERNeL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING ( RED color)
Set Warranty Bit : Kernel (Yellow Color)
Its about 10 Minutes now and I will leave it that way for 1 more hour.
Update: its been 30 mins and am still stuck in that screen.
I'm curious as to what ends up happening with this. I was reading how to flash a custom rom, by using Clockworkmod Recovery.
It looks like the CWM is flashed in via ODIN after the root as a .tar.md5, then you factory reset/wipe data, then wipe cache, then wipe davilk cache, then install from .zip extSDcard. It seemed simple enough, and I have the same model as you, but it appears there are hang ups that you are having which I'll wait until I try it.
I also have stock ROM and MK2 GS4 with Sprint.

If you root with safe root you are correct, you won't trip the knox warranty flag. But you can't install a custom rom without flashing a custom recovery which is what actually trips the knox flag not root. So safe root is only good if you are going to run stock rooted and not install a custom rom.

My sprint s4 with Philz does the same exact thing, gets stuck at the same screen. Sometimes it takes a few then boots up , other times I have to manually reboot it.
I've tried many things myself and still this problem confines.
I've asked in other threads about this but no one had an idea of way.
The phone was on MK2, rooted with CF Auto, and has latest Philz.
I'll be checking in here to see if we can fix this... If it's even fixable. I think it has to do with Knox /new security.. But I'm no programmer so maybe a pro can chime in.

Hoping for some experts to help us.. May be a video on how to root of MK2 version And flash custom Rom will help us..

[Q] I9505 Bootloader

hello i ran into some problems when installing cyanogen mod 11 on my s4 using ODIN. i putted the cm11 file into the BT field in odin, now my phone is not booting, is my bootloader broken? i can not find the BT file anywhere. is there any other solution. also it sometimes goes to the cmw recovery and sometimes it does not. i don't know if this info can help. thanks
BT file ?
Cm11 through odin?
Are you kidding me?
Can you enter download mode again?
Flash recovery in odin, and then flash CM11 in recovery

Download an unbranded KK rom. The last is for Uk but it doesnt matter the country. Look at s4 general forum there there is an topic with all the firmwares availables.
If you dont have sdcard it doesnt matter to. You can flash via cwm from internal storage any custom rom. If you fix that root your phone, install philz recovery and then try to flash cm11 via CWM

Boot into the stock recovery and do a factory reset then try using Odin again.
I tried that and it did not work. I was on nc4, can you verify what i should be flashing via odin

Boot into the stock recovery by holding down Volume Up, Home and Power then do a factory reset, it may work.
You may have a corrupted file.

Did you clear everything but the microsd card?
I fixed it already all you have to do is flash the stock firmware on odin but the stock fw from before it happened on pda and just in case flash the pit for the model and it should be fixed

[Q] ROM and RECOVERY

hello!
I have galaxy s4 i9500.
stock rom 4.4.2
I tried to flash 2 recoveries (philz and twrp) in both odin and flash from the stock recovery, but none of them worked!
I just want to flash one of this two recoveries so I will be able to flash a custom rom.
instead of working, the recovery stays the stock's recovery.
what should I do?
sorry for my bad English.
thanks!!
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing with Odin. That should probably fix it.
