[Q] Unable to Reboot - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. Need your help on this one. I flashed the latest omega rom and successfully restored my data. But whenever i reboot or power my phone off it can boot up past the samsung s4 logo. I would have to go back to recovery (twrp) format data. Then restore from back up then it can boot up. I would have to do it every time. I already tried reflashing the omega rom. After wipe but same thing the moment i reboot it will not het past the s4 logo. Any idea on this one. I really need help

I think I messed up... DamageLess ROM

I posted this on DamageLess' page in hopes that he could help me, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I figure someone on this forum can help me.. Just read the paragraph and you'll know my problem...
Hey man, I really need your help
I tried using your new DCUpdater (which is a fantastic idea btw) and i'm having a major issue. My phone won't boot. At first I was having problems with SuperUser, but I fixed that by enabling USB debugging, then unplugging the phone, then using the Updater. That worked. But when I tried to reboot the phone, it wouldn't boot. I wiped, restored to my most recent backup, and it still won't boot. I wiped, manually installed your new ROM, and tried to reboot again, and that's where I am right now. It had the Quietly brilliant screen, flashed the sprint logo screen, and now it's back to the Quietly brilliant screen. I think it's in an endless boot, because as I was typing this, the screen flashed grey for a second, then it flashed the sprint logo, and now it's back to quietly brilliant. Please please PLEASE get back to me asap, because I don't know what to do.

id say do not flash a rom. do a factory wipe then restart. read my comment under ur original post
You can do what the 2nd guy said..
Wipe everything.. Then dont flash or nandroid restore.. JUST reboot your phone.
Or save all your files to your computer that are on your sdcard... Repartition your sdcard. Then reflash the rom and move your stuff back.

I just did a factory reset, wiped my Dalvik cache, and wiped my sc card option thingy. I went straight from there to rebooting my phone. I'll say something if it boots now
i'd say wipe settings, wipe ext, wipe dalvik, flash rom, boot. if that doesn't work, wipe again and again then boot.

Thread Moved as it isn't development.

when i opened the camera app, the phone rebooted itself and now it is stuck on the bootanimation logo. This happened to me 3 times allready but it always goes back to normal. Anyone know what to do, i don't wanna factory reset it.
Tried restarting it with the power button, tried removing battery and i tried rebooting through phils CWM recovery and still always goes back to the bootanimation logo.
Plz help
I'm Using omega Rom V7 with the new adam kernel v1.3
Also my camera was fine with the stock kernel, i think the new adam kernel made my camera app worst.

If you don't want to do a full wipe don't even bother flashing it again.
The whole purpose of re-flashing is that you are having a problem with
the camera.
A clean install of Omega rom should clear it up.
But a dirty flash will make no difference at all.
Backup your apps using titanium backup or some other backup app so you don't loose your apps.
Good luck!

When i first flashed the omega rom, i did do a full wipe, worked fine until the camera app crashed for the 3rd time. I don't mind doing a full wipe, it's just i did some tinkering with my phone and i have to start again if i have to do a full wipe lol
Always do a full wipe when having problems.
I understand it can be time consuming, i have dirty flash many times and still had the same problems.
If the new flash doesnt work search the Rom thread, i read somewhere of a similar issue.

[Q] Solution to Samsung Logo hang?

Hello,
I have flashed Omega rom in my galaxy s4, however sometimes when I restart my device im stuck in the logo boot up. So my solution is to wipe the /data in recovery mode and it will start again.
But i don't want to wipe it every time i boot my device.
What do you think is the problem here? and how can i fix it?

Try to wipe system, data, and cache again. Then reinstall the omega rom and see if that solves the problem.

i've done that 4 times already. and it is still not working..
last week, i flashed a rom and while flashing it the battery fell off because i removed the back cover while flashing it last week. maybe thats the problem why my data is not working properly?

That probably isn't the problem. I recommend you to download the stock firmware of your phone and install that using Odin. Then if it works you can root it again, install a recovery and try it all again.

[Q] Phone Won't Reboot Without Looping.

I got my new Note 3 2 weeks ago and after a week of ownership decided to root it and install a custom rom.
Rooting went fine and then I installed my first custom rom Echoe Rom v.4.1 Full. But the problem I had was that, after installing all my apps, when I went to reboot the phone it just went into a continuous bootloop. So I thought I'd try another rom and installed Omega v4.0 and had the same problem, boot loop after rebooting.
So my question is why? Why are all roms causing me bootloops after I reboot? I'm having to either keep charging the phone and keeping it on 24/7 or if, for some reason it does power off, clearing davik cache and performing a factory reset to enable me to boot the phone up again and go through the whole install process over again.
Can I do anything to stop this or has anyone any idea why it is happening please?

Thanks but I've tried that and am still getting bootloops on all roms I install! I'm now trying [26.11.2013] X-NOTE v5.1 N9005 MJ7 and yet again, after going through the initial setup and installing my apps, I'm getting bootloop when rebooting the phone.

Many thanks Dahdoul. I'm downloading the first PreRooted rom from the thread. Hope that's the right one! Do I need to unroot the phone before powering it up and, if so, how do I unroot it?

two ways to Unroot your device:
Go to superuser app in your phone then settings press on unroot completely option and you are ready to go.
OR
In recovery mod Wipe cache partitions and reset factory settings then flash the stock rom by odin.
