Blackscreen and boot to twrp

I have an international I9505. Stock rom rooted with cf auto-root and twrp 2.5.
I have been using it since I first got it at launch date. Just a while ago, I took out my microsd card without unmounting it first. I restarted my phone. Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, it will show the Samsung S4 logo and then stuck at black screen. After that it will auto bootup again but to twrp recovery. I can't seem to boot it normally.
Any solution that I can do right now? Other than flashing it with original stock rom.

First just try doing an advanced wipe with cache and dalvik cache checked.
If that doesn't work I'm just letting you know if you flash the stock firmware via odin you will not lose any data, just root and you can easily re-root your phone.

Boot Loop after formatting phone

Hi I wanted to completely clean my phone so i formatted it via open recovery, menu and then reloaded my stock firmware ready to flash custom rom.My problem is it flashes the rom ok but now is in a boot loop i.e. it boots up to the samsung logo and you hear the bootup sound then it reboots itself. I have removed battery re-formatted caches etc but it is behaving the same way, have I bricked it? is there something else i can try.
Thanks

Flash the stock rom again using Odin and it should work if that does not wrk from the stock recovery
wipe data and then see it shoud reboot

[Q] My AT&T GS4 won't boot into recovery but will boot normally.

So I recently installed cynaogenmod 10.2 and now my phone won't boot into recovery. I was going to install gapps because I forgot to when I installed the rom. I do the correct sequence of buttons and then it shows recovery booting but then it vibrates and boots normally. I have no idea what's going on so any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Now it looks like it won't boot at all. I think I'll just let it sit for a bit.
Edit: Can I please have some help? I tried flashing a stock Odin firmware and now my phone won't boot past the AT&T logo.

Since using Odin, have you booted into stock recovery and done a factory and cache wipe?

+1. Factory reset will usually get you past a boot loop

Yeah I did that thanks, I hadn't thought that there was a "stock" recovery to do that with. I did it and now it works fine. I was still wondering why my phone wouldn't allow me to boot into recovery when I had 4.3 installed.

Device Stuck at Boot Screen

Hey guys this has been very frustrating for me , I do not know what I am doing wrong
I unrooted my phone using Odin
I then install CWM from the App itself
I have an unlocked 1337m
I just cant seem to get any rom to work , I know how to flash them properly they all just hang at the boot screen. I tried SHOstock and that hung , I also tried OMEGA from the i9505 section and that hung at the same spot. The only successfully flashes were MIUI and some other random stock based rom. Did i miss a step ?
Thanks alot

Go back into recovery and do a factory reset, after odin you must do a factory reset.
Thank you

[Q] Flashed GE ROM and stuck on google colors animation

I have the international/unlocked i9505 and i rooted via cf auto root and flashed the cwm recovery..
I then flashed the ge rom from here and i setup it all nice until I rebooted when it is just stuck at the google animation (with the four colors in the center) and it just stays there. I left it there for a good hour before I put the phone into the cwm recovery and follows steps like wipe the "d" cache and formatting the /system, and /cache. it still boots the animation.. flashed the rom again and it still hung there...Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: If possible, i would rather just flash the official touchwiz rom to avoid more problems down the line.

Reflash, and when your phone gives you the option to `fix` recovery, select no. Then let your phone reboot and install.

How long did it hang for? i was having problems reflshing, my phone hung for about 20 minutes before doing anything the first time i flashed it with google rom. I left it came back thinking it was unseccessful and when i was reading for solution it just booted up. Since then i have had no problems reflashing.
Also as above post suggests, in TWRP recovery after i installed a rom when exiting it would say FIX permissions, when i swiped yes the rom wouldnt boot. now it all seems fine however i think i didnt know what i was doing.
