I need help with installing Omega Rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm new with all this rom stuff. But right now I'm using CyanogenMod and I wanted to go back to stock so I found omega rom and I am having problems trying to install this rom. What happens when I install it is that it goes though all the processes then it gets to the end where I can reboot it but then it says I don't have my phone rooted when I know it is already rooted. So it asked if I want to install SuperSU again so I did and it just goes to the downloading screen and doesn't do anything. I tried it again without install SuperSU but it's still the same thing. I have tried full wiping the device (wipe everything) but I still get the same thing. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Doesn't boot

Hello,
I've got a problem with my gt-i9505.
I've managed to root the phone and install TWRP.
So i decided to install CM10.2 (21-08) and the right gapps for it.
Everything worked very good and I couldn't be happier.
All my apps were back and it was ready to use it!
I turned off the phone and went to sleep.
The next day i turned it on and it got stuck on the bootscreen (not the CM bootscreen, but the SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 bootscreen).
So I tried to do factory reset and install rom again, gapps again, afterwards again wipe dalvik and cache.
But i keep having the same problem. Right now after flashing the rom it doesn't even boot up the first time.
I also tried going back to 10.1, but same problem.
I don't know what to do, i just got my s4. Really hope i can fix it.
Luckily i can enter the recovery. But i didn't do a backup or anything.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get it working again?

Hi,
Look HERE
Put everything back to stock then, try again.
I found some 10.2 ROMS do not like rebooting,and just hang.
Remove the battery and try again normally worked.

I followed the instructions and succesfully installed the official stock rom for my device and region.
But it's still stuck at the samsung boot screen.
And now i can't boot into TWRP anymore either, is that correct?
After that I flashed with the .pit file. But still stuck on bootscreen.
Is there any other way to solve this problem?
idgaf about custom roms or CM10.2 anymore, i just want my phone to work.
Wether it's with custom or with stock firmware.
Really hope I didn't break my phone. :crying:
EDIT:
I wiped cache after flashing, but no data wipe/factory reset. That did the trick.
God i can't be happier my phone finally works again. Now i'm scared to flash a custom rom again. I think i need to install TWRP or CWM again too I'll just wait for now.

[Q] SGH-I337M Stuck on Boot Screen

I really hope someone here can help me. I'm running an SGH-1337M (Rogers). I rooted the device a number of months ago with Motochopper and installed Foxhound ROM GT-i9505 (which every guide says works with the SGH-1337M). I've been running this rom for quite a while without issues. Yesterday I I installed Cyanogenmod (cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-jfltecan) which worked, until I rebooted the device. When I reboot the phone gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot logo. I've booted into TWRP and tried to reinstall the Foxhound rom which was working but end up with the same results. I've used Kies Firmware upgrade to try and set everything back to default without sucess. Using Odin I tried to reinstall a factory image of my phone, which is sucessfull except nothing changes.
Currently, if using TWRP I do a full wipe of my phone and then install Cyanogenmod it'll work, so long as I don't reboot. If I reboot I need to do a full wipe, reinstall the rom and start all over.
I'm at a complete loss here. I've spent the last 5 hours looking for a solution to this problem without success. Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks

After you did odin, you must do a factory reset. This should clear up the problem. And, are you using the correct kernel for cyan?

Need help

SM-N910W8 losing baseband after Custom roms...urgent help needed

I'm Sorry guys but if I didnt reach a desperate state i wouldn't be posting this, at first i posted this at the nameless rom section thinking that its only related to it, but now i think there is something im generally wrong in the steps that im doing but i just cant figure it out
and before anyone says anything, Yes i did try hard to search and read as much as i can about the problem before posting here, and Yes the solution might be very stupid and i missed it but honestly after flashing my phone soo many times i decided that just like my phone.. i'm looping with no way out :S
Anyhow, to begin with this problem is only happening when trying to flash the Nameless V4... and i have the SM-N910W8 ... and before all this started i was running the Nameless LP v7 (?)
How did i reach this point ? here are the steps :
*Did all the backups needed
*Flashed the phone using Odin to the latest 6.0.1 Stock rom : N910W8VLS1DPK1
*Flashed the latest TWRP
*Wiped System, Data, Cache and delvik
*Flashed Nameless V4
*Flashed Emotion Kernel R25 Rc1
*Flashed the latest SuperSu which is 2.79
and then reboot
at first no matter what i do i could not go past the first screen which says : Galaxy Note 4
what i did to TRY to resolve this issue:
*redo same steps but different kernel (didnt work)
*went back to an older stock 6.0.1 via Odin which is N910W8VLU1DPE2 (didnt work)
only after i re downloaded everything and made sure no file is corrupted, that i started seeing some progress
So at this moment, i can get the phone to boot on both emotion and H-vitamin kernel, but no baseband or IMEI.
Also when i try to install the data fix, i get stuck in a bootloop
If anyone can please give me clear steps to get this over with i would really appreciate it, i dont have any other phone to use at the moment and i cant use my phone in this state
Thanks in advance
NEW UPDATE :
I managed to get all the files i needed to flash working, the only problem i was facing was with the Data fix file and every time i flash it, i end up with a bootloop, so after researching, i ended up replacing the build.prop of the Data fix file with the build.prop from the Nameless v4 rom, after that i flashed the new file, wiped both caches, and after a long wait since i cleaned install everything, phone booted normally, of course i'm still facing the no baseband/imei/sim problem, but atleast there is progress.
I dont know if this information helps anyone but i thought i should mention it just incase.
I think im gonna try testing with the v3 and see if i can get any sign of life when it comes to sim/baseband/imei......(update.. no sign of life)
Just to give an idea on where i am right now, the only way i can get the phone to function normally is by flashing any stock image
You are literally the only person on Google even talking about N910W8VLS1DPK1, so I figured I'd ask you: Did your problems come from updating to DPK1, or are they a result of the custom ROMs you're trying to install? Because I want to upgrade to this version, but not if it breaks everything. I'm just looking to update to DPK1, root, and debloat, maybe even install a debloated ROM if there is one, that's it.
I tried Nameless and couldn't get it working on the Canadian version. Im not sure if it had to do with not having a datafix. But my result was the same. Unknown baseband.
