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.

I just rooted my Galaxy S4 (model SGH-I337 AT&T) (I have not installed any ROMS either) and I went to back it up once more in recovery mode but when it went to reboot, it froze. It booted up normally but then froze when the AT&T logo is spinning. I can take the battery out and turn it on but the same thing happens. When I go to recovery mode to reboot, same thing happens. I have wiped cache partition and rebooted, same thing. I have restored my 2 backups, one failed and the other the same thing happens, I have rebooted to bootloader but that brings me to a screen saying downloading... with a android guy then the only way to get out of that is taking the battery out. I have tried wiping data/factory reset but it fails while restoring data. Nothing is working! Please help. I am very knew to rooting by the way. I have Clockworkmod recovery too by the way if that matters. Thanks in advance.
I am going out on a limb here, did you do a factory reset within the recovery? If not, try that. should boot just fine, IF, you said, you have not flashed any custom roms yet.
Good luck.
If that does not work, please search ODIN, because I am afraid that is the next step.
Thank you.

Thanks for replying. Yes I did a factory reset in Clockworkmod recovery many times. Froze in the same spot. Then I saw a Youtube video on how to use ODIN and it worked perfectly. ODIN said "pass" but when it rebooted, same problem! Then I wasnt able to enter recovery mode, it just froze. Now I am able to enter stock recovery but still nothing is working. Should I try ODIN again? I am almost positive I used the right firmware too. my options in recovery are Reboot system, apply update from ADB, external storage,or cache, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. thanks again for the help
now that you have flashed back to stock with odin, wipe data and reboot.
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.
I decided to finally root my Wifi only Galaxy Tab 4, 16 gig. To my understanding it is the T330. It had the latest OTA - 5.1.1 I believe?
After installing TWRP and trying to flash SuperSU it won't boot past the Samsung logo.
I did the following:
Prior to today I have had the USB drivers installed
Downloaded and extracted ODIN 3.0.9
Downloaded TWRP 2.8.7 Tar file for the T3xx series
Downloaded SuperSU zip file for version 2.46
I opened up ODIN, unchecked the "Auto Reboot" box (after seeing elsewhere that it was needed when flashing the recovery), checked the box for "AP" and selected the .tar file for TWRP. I clicked start, everything went correctly, I removed the USB cable and manually restarted the device by holding the power button. Once it was off I then held the power button, volume up, and home button to boot into recovery, and to my excitement I was greeted with TWRP. So far it looked like it was going according to plan. A screen came up saying that the system was currently read only, and it was giving me the choice to allow the recovery to change it. I swiped to allow it to change it so the system partitions were not read only. I went to the install option, and selected the SuperSU zip file. Installed it, it said that it installed correctly. I went back to the main menu and rebooted the device. That's when things did NOT go according to plan. It played the nice little boot sound, the animated Samsung logo came up, and I waited. I waited some more. I continued to wait. After 10 minutes of the Samsung animation repeating I assumed that trouble was afoot and turned the tablet off and attempted to get back into recovery, which it did. I then turned it off and checked to see if I could still get into Download Mode: and it can and the PC can see it as connected when I load up ODIN.
So I have the tablet soft bricked. My goal was to have it rooted with custom recovery to install roms.
If that's not possible, I assume my best bet would be to use ODIN to push the Samsung files over and flash it back to factory that way, undoing what I have done?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I tried to be as detailed as possible to assist anyone who may be willing to help.

Have you tried wiping dalvik and cache through recovery? If that doesn't help maybe do a factory reset before restoring the factory image?

I tried to wipe cache and dalvik - still gets stuck at the Samsung logo... Tried to do a factory reset from TWRP and after rebooting from recovery it continues to get stuck. I'll try flashing the kernel but I don't understand why that would have gotten messed with from flashing the recovery and installing the SuperSU part.
Okay I take back my statement... flashed the kernel, after flashing did a cache and dalvik wipe and boom... it boots!!! You are officially my hero! Thank you!

So my galaxy s4 decided not to turn on anymore and is stuck in bootloop. It is really weird the phone either gets stuck at the samsung logo or gets stuck trying to boot into recovery but just doesnt make it in. I tried installing twrp but the same result where it is stuck trying to boot into recovery but never makes it. I also tried installing stock lollipop but it still doesn't boot up. PLZ help my nexus 5 just broke and now this phone isnt working either
You're using Odin to install a stock rom? Any errors when flashing with Odin? If Odin flash was successful, did you perform a factory reset before booting the phone for the first time with the newly-flashed stock rom?Did the stock rom come from sammobile.com?

So i got the stock firmware for my s4 from sammobile and used odin to install it( downloaded fine) but after it just restarted and tried to boot into recovery mode unsuccessfully. I would have tried to do a factory reset but i cant since i cant actually get into recovery mode.
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash the rom. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to boot into recovery, factory wipe, and reboot.

OMG I LOVE YOU. I dont know how unplugging the micro usb and taking the battery out made a difference(i had flashed via odin many times unsuccessfully) but i cannot thank you enough
Glad it worked for you.
We're all here to help each other out.
Cheers.
If you wnat to install twrp and you don't like Odin too much I recomend you the app TWRP manager, you just need root, it's a very simple app
I prefer flashing TWRP via Odin as it has never failed for me.
I just rebooted my phone into recovery mode using this quick reboot pro app, it worked fine, I just wanted to test out the app so I wanted to reboot. I pressed the reboot button in TWRP, I pressed system, I saw the boot logo, but it didn't boot and it just entered the TWRP. I tried to reboot again, the same thing happened. I'm basically stuck in the recovery. I didn't try wiping data and cache or anything like that, I don't want to mess up my phone more. Can someone help me out here, I don't know what to do to fix it

Hello there, i had the sane problem one Day, never use an App tha reboots into recovery or bootloader, it Will be stock. For the fix, You have to flash the official Samsung firmware 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 via odin And your Phone Will be Just fine.

Or just reflash twrp with odin. This will reset the reboot flag.
As said use the button combo to boot to recovery and you won't have an issue.
