Did you ever check the md5sum to make sure the downloads were good. That's good practice.

If there would be something wrong with the boot, is there a way to fix this? After using odin or installing from zip it goes right back into clockwork every time.

I would say you need to specify more of what you're doing. I'd recommend installing Rom Manager, then in the Rom Manager app, do the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (the app is in the market).
Then download whatever rom you want, like CM 7.1 and copy it over to your cf card. Then run the Rom Manager again, and tell it to 'Install ROM from SD Card'
Realize, as is always stated, I am not responsible if you brick your phone. Be very careful to ensure everything is done right.
Bad downloads sometimes abort. Have you verified the MD5 hash of any of the zips before you tried flashing? Also, what ROMs did you try?

Assuming you did everything else right, which seems likely since you got S off, this is the most likely answer.
It's also the easiest thing to try and fix because you can just redownload the ROM and try again with a fresh copy. And ROM's do get corrupted during downloads more often than you're think, so it's not unlikely that this is your problem.
Also, download it from the phone using Clockworkmod. Less chance of the file getting borked on the transfer to the SD card.

The downloaded rom should already be zipped, so no need to zip it. And if you need to zip them back up I think it has to be without compression.
Thanks everybody. Seems like i was making harder then it was. I just had to leave my computer out of it and everything works fine.

Flashing CleanCB

For the life of me, I cannot get either version to flash. I've read, and reread this thread (I'm a reader) as well as everything in general - the wiki (I'm a reader). Just need 2 say that before JC is brought up in any response I get. At any rate, I boot into cw, wipe and flash. Each time and I've tried 4 times now, I get stuck at the Samsung screen. I'm on EL30, also have the modem and I'm rooted...I've done this many times bu cannot get this ROM to work for me....and I oh so wanna buy the dev a beer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tried one last time to flash BML - had to nandroid back again.
I've read a lot, a whole lot and I still cannot figure it out.
OK, try reflashing CWM 5.0.2.7 first. then do a Factory Data reset in CWM then flash the ROM right after. Don't use ROM Manager. See how that works. If you tried the MTD version then use that one. You may want to Odin back to BML with repartition checked if you want to try that one.

WinRAR is your friend. To test the integrity of a ROM zip file, open with WinRAR, click on Commands > Test archived files and it should come back with "no errors found" if it's a good download.

very helpful information. I have read a lot about people having issues with bad downloads. Nice to know you can check them like that. I have noticed in flashing various roms that I have come across some random glitches. Perhaps this could be the culprit. Thanks again.
Users should ALWAYS verify the integrity of ROM downloads using the md5 sums posted by the developer. If you download directly to your phone you can use the "properties" view in Root Explorer. If you've got it on your PC you can use the utilities found here - http://www.winmd5.com/

[Q] jflteatt not liking any kitkat roms

Hi, I was hoping to get some help and insight with the situation I've been dealing with. I'll give as much information as possible so that someone might be able to point me in the right direction.
I have an att galaxy s4 that was purchased and rooted before the mf3 ota that made everything so difficult. I've flashed several roms and decided to go with liquidsmooth 2.37 atm and I'm experiencing a few odd issues (stock mss not working) that no one else seems to have, but for the most part it's running very well. Lately I've wanted to go with a rom using the new 4.4 and I've tried a handful no matter what rom I try I have the same issues. so far I've tried CM 11, Omnirom and Gummy. With all of them everything runs very laggy and glitchy and will frequently freeze until it crashes and reboots. Every single time I've used whatever gapps are linked in the op for every rom and followed flashing instructions to the letter (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom , flash gapps, flash super su (if needed) and reboot) and I've even tried different recoveries (both cwm recovery 6.0.4.4 and the latest philz cwm recovery) same results every time. This part shouldn't matter, but I tried flashing these roms while on the original mdl modem and after upgrading to mj9. Let me know any other info you need, but I've tried to be thorough. I appreciate the help.

Correct. I usually just compare the last 5 or 6 characters. If they match it's very unlikely the others won't too.
tried going back and looking in all the threads that I downloaded roms from, can't find md5s for any of them with one exception and thats an outdated version of a rom I'm not currently trying to flash, so I don't see the point in downloading it just to compare the md5
Downloaded an omnirom build and checked the md5 and everything was good, plus I would be surprised if the md5s were bad on all the roms I've tried. Any other suggestions? Should I try two recovery instead of coming?

I'm running out of ideas try twrp recovery. Here is a zip you can flash in your current recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45511518
flashed twrp and that royally screwed up the phone. opened recovery using twrp and made a back up then did a system wipe and went to install the rom and when I went to do that, the list of all teh files you have to choose from was blank. I could go through different folder levels but the part where it shows the contents was always emtpy. Sometimes I could touch the area and see I portion highlight like it was making a selection but it wouldnt do anything and there was no file name there. Went to restore the backup I made and there was nothing in the list of backups to restore from. Rebooted the phone and liquid smooth 2.37 loaded like a clean flash with none of my info, files, apps, etc so I downloaded rom manger from the playstore and put the latest cwm touch on there. When I went in recovery none of my cwm backups where there or anything so i went to reboot and it only shows the samsung boot screen. Downloaded a few different roms and gapps on my sd card from y computer and put them on the phone and flashed the roms and gapps and still can't get past the boot screen. I'm really open to suggestions on this one.
If it was me, at this point I'd Odin the stock mdl firmware and start all over again. Something's not right with your phone. But it scares me a little since things aren't flashing correctly and there could be something wrong with your internal memory. If memory is bad it could make things worse.
I think your right. Do you know where I can find the stock firmware and instructions for flashing it? I haven't used Odin in a while.

You can get the stock firmware at sammobile.com. it's free but you have to register. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it and use that in Odin, PDA slot. This is a guide that is not for the s4 but the procedure is the same. It has screen shots in it that help. Don't use any files in it though other than odin. Good luck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924
I haven't read the whole thread, so hopefully these haven't already been covered.
1) Make sure your recovery supports 4.4. Not all of them do. Stay the heck away from TWRP because it's done nothing but suck for Galaxy S4, while it was absolute king for the S3. The wrong recovery can still flash a ROM but that ROM may not work very well.
2) Ensure you do a COMPLETE wipe. As in wipe /system and /data. Make sure your internal SD card is formatted. 4.4 may not use some things & folders that 4.2 and 4.3 did, which might cause problems.
3) If you have an external SD, then make sure 4.4 is using the right path for it to access any important files you may have on it, like apps2sd & such.
Well since screwing things up with twrp I'm back to having a working phone again. I didn't have to use Odin but I still might just to go back to stock and then try kit kat. I went into cwm recovery and formatted the system then flashed liquidsmooth 2.37 which is what I was running. Everything works fine with that except when I use the rom manager widget to boot into recovery, it goes to the boot screen with booting recovery at the top but doesn't go further. I have to use the 3 button method to get into recovery. The other odd thing is that mms works for me now.
I tried flashing gummy 4.4 again since everything is fine in jb but I still have the same jittery twitchiness. One thing I noticed is that when I go into the performance settings in 4.4 the current cpu reading will jump from 300 mhz to 1200 to 400 to 1800 etc just at idle. Is that normal. My note 10.1 holds steady when it's just sitting there.
To answer your questions, I'm using cwm 6.0.4.4 which is kit kat approved and I formatted and wiped everything before flashing and it didn't change anything. I appreciate your help so far and look forward to more insight.

[Q] hyperdrive stuck at splash screen

I've tried asking this in the q&a section on the main thread but I think I'm being ignored because I'm asking a question about the at&t version inside a Verizon thread. Idk. But I've tried installing hyperdrive rls15 and I follow the instructions on the main page for at&t and I get to where I need to reboot and wait 10 mins. Well it just stays on the splash screen. I've tried repeating the install 4 time's now amd the same results. I found a tooic saying fix permissions but it fails. I'm sorry if this has been asked already. I have looked through several different threads but I may have overlooked it. My phone baseband is I337UCUAMDL im on 4.2.2 and have twrp v2.5.0.2 as my recovery. I've also verified the md5. any suggestions?
I hate to double post but if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening I'm going to try and redownload and try loki patch I don't know if it's needed but I will try.

Same problem here,
I'm going to try and install a kernel through TWRP. I've tried a fresh root / loki install, same issue.
For me, I remember having to install an AT&T compatibility pack.zip file on previous Hyperdrive releases, like RLS 10.
I tried to install RLS15 and at the very end of install, it says this:
Flashing Kernel
file_getprop: failed to stat"/tmp/aroma/kernel.prop": No such file or
directory
However, for some reason, after trying to install this new release, I was not able to restore data in TWRP from a backup of RLS 10. I was able to restore to a non-rooted backup (i don't know how), and it appears that I am not rooted anymore, and I don't think I have superuser anymore. So, I'm not exactly sure where to start.
Glad to see I'm not the only one this is happening to. Please let me know if you figure it out. I noticed the same thing but thought I seen someone else say that it was nothing.
so i redownloaded all files and nothing. tried loki patch and nothing. tried kt kernel because i seen another post with someone saying it was the only one that worked for them and nothing. im still stuck on splash screen. please if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know im desperate now. i really want to try this rom so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Same here =/
Flashing a kernel before ROM didn't do anything.
I'm starting to think that we don't have Super User installed anymore, I tried re-installing some BackUps (rooted backups)
and TWRP said something like, you don't have SuperUser instyalled, want to install it? *Slide to Install* Phone quickly reboots (not showing any proof of Super User being installed in TWRP emulator) and still no effect.
When I get some time ill look into how to install SuperUser, which I thought was already put on when we root.
Have you tried installing any other ROMS with success?
Are you still on MDL? I am, and im starting to think i need to just go ahead and do the update from AT&T, and then switching over to Safestrap recovery, but i hope i can find another solution before doing all that.

Are you still on MDL? I am, and im starting to think i need to just go ahead and do the update from AT&T, and then switching over to Safestrap recovery, but i hope i can find another solution before doing all that.

I've tried asking this in the q&a section on the main thread but I think I'm being ignored because I'm asking a question about the at&t version inside a Verizon thread. Idk. But I've tried installing hyperdrive rls15 and I follow the instructions on the main page for at&t and I get to where I need to reboot and wait 10 mins. Well it just stays on the splash screen. I've tried repeating the install 4 time's now amd the same results. I found a tooic saying fix permissions but it fails. I'm sorry if this has been asked already. I have looked through several different threads but I may have overlooked it. My phone baseband is I337UCUAMDL im on 4.2.2 and have twrp v2.5.0.2 as my recovery. I've also verified the md5. any suggestions?

Are you using Safe strap?
I was having the same problem after like 4 tries i figured out that every time I would download this it would go into the internal memory when it should have gone into the xd. I had to move folders manually. After that everything has been working correctly.
Do you know what folders have to be moved and where?

I created a new one on the xd card named it roms so I won't forget.
All I did was go to Mounts in TWRP recovery and mounted my microSD card and this fixed the problem.

cool im going to go try it in a few mins thanks
i tried mounting both internal and external and still nothing can you go through the steps you did from start to finish maybe im missing something
Okay, so the first thing i did was mount my microSD(external sd) then a full wipe. Even though i was mounted to my sd card, i still had to navigate to my internal memory to select the zips i wanted to flash. I first installed an older release of Hyperdrive Rom, and during installation, i selected Full Wipe option again. i also added my AT&T compatibility pack.zip to be flashed right after the ROM. Also, i dont know if this affected anything, but i tried installing the T-Mobile compatibility pack on a previous attempt. I read somewhere where some1 did this and it worked for them, but it didnt work for me until i did another install of RLS15 and the ATT pack.
Hope this can help you
