Help: Can not flash any other rom except MIUI

I was using Bionix-v 1.3.1 since last March, flashed over stock 2.2. I also had Rom Manager Premium V4.3.2.3 with CWM 2.5.2.1.
Recently decided to try out a GB rom. So I downloaded CM7 and MIUI 1.6.24. Tried to flash CM7, but just got a quick CWM screen with boot loop. Somehow using 3 button I could go to CWM screen and flash MIUI 1.6.24.
MIUI booted fine for me. One change I noticed is on power up I get the Samsung Vibrant screen and I new "Galaxy S Cyanogen Mod" screen. After that the MIUI boot animation starts.
Since it does not have GPS support I wanted to try Simply Honey 3.8 Revolution. But when I flashed Simply Homey it goes to Boot Loop showing Samsung Vibrant and then Galaxy S Cyanogen Mod screen. Then I tried other GB rom and got similar result. Only MIUI works and boots fine.
The CWM somehow changed to 3.X.X and it does not accept any FRYO rom having old style (with only update-script) file.
I even can not go to Download mode in any way. ( I have not tried the Jig method yet).
Please suggest any solution if you came across similar situation.

Because u were on a gb rom the way to get into download mode is different for gingerbread roms. Theres plenty of info on that on XDa, sorry dont knowit. But once u get the correct info to get into download mode the gingerbread way then odin to stock and all ur problems will be solved!

Thanks for your response.
I have never flashed GB rom using odin, only thing I tried is flashing CM7 using CWM. Does it automatically update the bootloader? If it does, why every other GB rom goes to boot loop?

You got a bootloop on cm7 because its a known bug, if you tried to install it again it would install just fine. You can go between miui and cm 7 easy outer roms are not comparable. I would like to know too if they install a custom bootloader, when you odin you need too install a bootloader too? That could be risky, that why i am scared to odin back.

Did you wipe data and dalvik cache or did you just flash?
Did you flash via CWM or Odin?

I've tried everything

What do you mean? Could you capture and upload a photo of it?
My S2 is running the new check rom and it works well

You have given us very little information to work with. Based on the information you have given, it sounds like you flashed a custom ROM known as Dark Knight V2, but when it boots up it goes "weird"
Try the following:
1. Boot into Clockwork Recovery
2. Wipe EVERYTHING (Cache, Davlik, System, Data\Factory Restore)
3. Flash the ROM again
If that fails, try putting the phone into "Download Mode" and flashing a STOCK ROM.
If those steps don't work, you need to give us more information.

Do a hard reset of the device not a factory reset

[Q] Hung boot after font change

I must humbly ask for everyone's help. I bought a Galaxy S3 (Sprint) today and rooted no problem. I downloaded font changer and Rom Toolkit. I changed a font and clicked "reboot" and the phone hung on the reboot screen--after the sprint logo and says "Samsung" with the blue light going up and down in intensity.
I tried a cache clear and data wipe, neither of those worked. I also tied reflashing the root ROM. That didn't work.
My most recent steps were to flash the stock recovery and stock ROM. It still hangs. I can get to recovery and am able to flash with ODIN. What should I do next?!
If nothing else, is there a way to reset the flash counter so I can maybe get Sprint to fix it? The only way I saw is to download an app, which won't work.
Any help is appreciated, I've tried all that I could think of.

1. Wrong section. .
2. Do your homework, changing fonts on ics causes boot loops. Gonna a have to flash to stock with Odin sorry :/
3. Triangle away.

Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Black Edition

Hello, My desperation level is at it's climax.
I got my hands on "Galaxy S4 Black Edition GT-I9050" I wanted to install kitkat firmware, i did everything as usual, i deleted the system folder on my S4, When i wanted to install the ROM, I found out that my phone was not reading the SD Card on Recovery Mode... Clockwork recovery mode. I formatted my SD Card in all formats, FAT,Etc. Still no hope, Than i wanted to restore to the original firmware by flashing the phone with odin, because my phone wont boot, it's stuck at the boot screen.
I downloaded countless firmwares, some of them Fail at MDM, and other fail right of the bat
Things that i have done:
Installed Samsung Drivers, uninstalled them.
Tried Different USB Hubs, Cables.
Tried many versions of Odin.
Nothing works.. I am really sad.
My Device: Galaxy S4 Black Edition
Model: GT-I9505
Problem, Unable to Flash Back/Phone stuck at boot screen
PS: I did research on how to restore stock firmware, etc, But nothing helps.
I really need your help! Cheers

I believe, and don't quote me on it, but that the black edition version of the s4 have slightly different firmware. Have you looked on sammobile for firmware specified for the black edition?

What happens when you try to flash with a different recovery? Try Philz or TWRP.

But the Black Editions model number is i9506, no?

Thanks for replying, I Downloaded both, Only philz is working fine, however I still don't see my external SD Card, Only internal one is there..
I found black edition firmwares, but as i am downloading one by one, nothing worked so far.
The firmware is located here : androidromupdate.com/2014/02/06/i9505xxuena4-4-3-firmware-samsung-galaxy-s4-gt-i9505-black-edition
Edit: I found specific Black edition firmware on sammobile, once i try them, i will post back here,

I tired flashing again but still no hope. What i am doing wrong? is it the firmwares? please help.

Just do a factory reset in the recovery, but don't install the rom again.

Used an older version through odin

This ended up being sorted for me, as it just booted after about a half hour. But how, if you hit this red screen can you reflash? You aren't getting to dowload mode or recovery with that perma-red screen

lol, I spoke too soon again, was reflashing twrp after going back to a stock rom, this happened again for me only its not budging from red screen now. I can't get into download mode as I mentioned above too

hey guys I have the same
the phone dont even switch off
how did you fix it?
edit SOLUTION : I managed to reboot the phone with adb
add reboot
then I flashed the version 3.0.0.0 of TWRP and it worked !

Help!

I am having the same problem. Odin is stuck in "Setup Connection"
Do you have any ideas?

You have probably flashed a wrong kernel.
The solution is to flash the right kernel for your device.

After flashing twrp-3.1.1-0-herolte.img with Odin 3.17 I only get a red screen when booting into recovery and the phone won't even boot the OS.

Lol. I have the very same problem: Flashed The Galaxy Project ROM and hit "update bootloader etc...." and now all I have is this red screen..... - Though the ROM worked for a couple of hours, but when I tried to enter the recovery I stock with this red screen. Cant even go into download mode...
Any help? How did you solved this issue?

I didn't, ****ty Rom just bricked it.
Just reflash the recovery or flash stock. I can't, my pc doesn't recognize my s7 anymore.
He doesn't even bother to mention that bug...
