I was in recovery mode doing a restore, finshed and rebooted the system. Screen went blank and never came back on. Not turning on for anything, any ideas?
What recovery are you using and what were you trying to restore?

No power at all, I was using TWRP, restoring Wicked3
Not sounding good, but see if odin will recognize it. Were you flashing wicked or were you restoring a nandroid? If you were flashing it are you sure you got the right Rom for your specific device.

I was restoring a nandroid
I've never seen a phone go completely dead just restoring a nandriod. Could be just some fluke hardware failure. Any luck with odin?

what kind of wipe did you do prior to restoring?
i'm not familiar with this rom. was it loki patched?

you need to get an sbf file of 2.2.1 and then use rsd lite to flash it to your phone... then you can use clockwork to get back.
I understand that. I'm trying to wipe data to clear up the constant sync error except I have no way of wiping data. Make sense?

Recovery Access in GB
Besides using a reboot into rocovery app, you can also shut down the phone, then pull the battery, put the battery back in and the normal Vol Down + Power will get you into Clockwork Recovery. Seems like GB is in some kind of stand by mode even when you power it down.
This is extremely frustrating.
I successfully rooted my galaxy s4.
I then downloaded CMW and touch, and downloaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341376
I then booted into recovery, and wiped etc and then installed the rom. I read on the later part of that page that there wasn't a need for loki so I did not download loki.
I then rebooted, and got the yellow triangle sign saying that the software is not approved by ATT.
This is where I am stuck. I have a mac and am running vmware windows 8.
I tried downloading kies on the mac, and it does not recognize the phone. I did not try kies for windows yet, nor do I know what to do after if I am able to get kies to recognize the s4.
I also downloaded odin, and the firmware, but odin is not recognizing the phone under windows even when I select to use the phone under windows.
I tried the stock usb cable, and a different usb cable, and 2 different usb ports. I do not have a regular windows computer. Is there a way to do this with a mac?
Guess I should have downloaded the loki, is not downloading the loki the whole reason this is happening?
I appreciate everyones help! I just wanted stock android! :good:
I do not have a s4 but have a s2 but its like the same.
1. Why would you not already have Odin installed and kies?! Just in case
2. No backup made?...
3. Can you still get into recovery and download mode if so then you have hope.. wait for someone to give you steps to get out of this
4. If you can't get into either... well :banghead:

Mmm alright... Go into download mode and take out your SD card and download the Loki file in the ROM thread then transfer to sdcard on PC. Then place back in phone.. Then go intro recovery and flash the file and it should work.
But wait before anything can you get into recovery? If so then you go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard and transfer the Loki file from your PC right there.

I have installed kies on the windows version and it notices the phone is connected, but it just keeps saying "connecting..." and a little thing spinning. Not sure how long it should take to connect...
why not download the loki zip to sd card, then put back on phone, reboot to recovery and install from sd card...

the OP of that ROM lists these specific installation instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL:
* Download the ROM (NO NEED FOR GAPPS)
* Reboot to Recovery
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Flash the ROM
* U.S. MODELS - Flash Loki Patch - http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/loki-doki.zip (CANADIAN USERS DO NOT INSTALL)
* Reboot your Galaxy S4
* Enjoy
remember to read everything first and understand what you are doing before proceeding. cheers
And only 5 simple steps. One sec of reading. And it matters. Or kaboom.
Im wondering if someone can help me. I recently rooted my phone with odin and was adding a rom. I guess it didn't download completely or correctly when I tried to install it and said it fail. I accidentally rebooted my phone. I don't have a backup on my phone to restore it. I do have a backup on my computer but cant get it onto my phone. Now my phone gets stuck on the Samsung galaxy s4 screen, and will not boot the rest of the way. I can get to the download screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Easiest way is to download the full rom .tar file and flash with odin. pretty sure they are posted in the dev section.

I've researched it and cannot find a answer. Say if you get stuck in a boot loop and want to flash a nandroid backup or something. The only options I seen with the buttons when the device is off or whatever take you into download mode or a mode that only says factory reset.

On the Verizon model I have TWRP installed and hold power on+volume down and when it says the factory reset I just go ahead through it. The phone still has all your files. It just ends up wiping the OS.
Just my .02 cents because I've been in that position.

So if it wipes the os it leaves the phone in a permanent boot loop therefore not working if you do that, no?

^ that's what I meant. It's been a long day and I confused what you asked with something else.
Let me start off by saying I apologize if this is posted somewhere already.
Here's my situation. A couple days ago I lgflashed back to stock. All went well. I then rooted and installed TWRP. No issues at all. I didn't take an update, modify the stock ROM or even flash another ROM. Just ran stock rooted. Today, I pick my phone up, go to turn it on and I'm in recovery. No big deal, right? Well I can't get out of TWRP. My backups are still showing, but when I restore it and reboot the phone I'm right back in recovery.
I can't get into download mode either. Not sure what happened and everything was fine earlier in the day. Any thoughts?

As long as you have a ROM on the phone, you should be good to go.

I'm so glad your back up and running again. I've been following your thread. And thanks for sharing the fix.
Does that mean that without your knowledge, your phone may have probably automatically updated itself (OTA) when you left your phone overnight? That's why you were stucked in recovery? Because it seems so odd that you didn't do anything wrong and it suddenly behaved that way. And I have read somewhere here that OTA just installed itself automatically without user intervention. So confusing if that did happen. How is that even possible?
