[Q] i9505 Sticks at Samsung S4 Screen - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed TWRP recovery on my i9505 and then tried several different roms, the Barbones one, Wannalite and a couple of google roms. After installing a rom through TWRP I clear Davlik and Cache and the phone boots up and works fine until I have reason to reboot it of turn it off where upon rebooting the phone sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 screen. The only way I can get it operational again is to wipe syatem, data, cache etc and reinstal a rom from scratch. I have tried different kernals with different roms but still the same problem
Can anyone tell me if I am missing something from somewhere or done something wrong ?
Thank you in advance for any help or advice that can be given

[ROGERS SGH-1337M] Wont Reboot Without FULL WIPE

INFO: I rooted my device last night and installed TWRP using GooManger. I tried tested two different Roms. The first one was Google Edition 4.2.2 - v1.3 & the second was GoldenEye. Both Roms Seem to function properly. My Device is SGH-1337M ROGERS
PROBLEM: When i reset my device, even after a clean install, my device gets stuck during boot. I've tried going into recovery and restoring backups from this point and they all fail. The only possible way to get out of this boot freeze is to Wipe entire internal storage. At that point, the phone will reboot. This does not appear to be a boot loop as It just shows "Samsung Galaxy S4" and won't budge (seems frozen). I have no idea what the issue is but i suspect it may have something to do with the kernels provided with the Roms? Any help would be much appreciated!

Which ROMs are you installing? On I337M your best bet is T-Mobile ROMs and Kernels. I have Bell I337M and have no issues.

Are you wiping with TWRP? I heard there are issues with using it to wipe and restore or loading a new rom after wipe. Just restore using Odin and then load a new rom (or restore a backup) without wiping. See if that solves your problem of bootlooping

i just went through this all last night what a pita , problem is twrp , if you do a full wipe when you type the word yes , you can only bootup 1 time then it gets stuck next time you boot , theres no way to fix it , even going back to old version of twrp wont do it , you have to compleatlly remove root and return to stock , re root and install twrp again , then if your luck your nandropid backup will work , it took me 5 hrs to fuger this all out , stupid twrp drove me nuts .,...
in short , return to stock and reroot , then never do a full wipe where you have to type yes

Galaxy s4 No sound after Flashing Different Roms

I recently Had a problem with my Galaxy s4 Were if you flash too many roms or ones not ment for your phone Or reflashing a stock rom You could end up with out any sound or wifi.. I have figured out how to fix this problem this worked for myself. After talking with a few people I figured out how to fix this problem. What I did was headed over to www.sammobile.com and reflashed the stock rom from there and than rebooted in to recovery mode and factory reset and wiped cache rebooted the phone and worked......
Or if you have wifi just flash a different kernel for your phone....

FAILED to flash rom, stuck in bootloop I9500, please help.

Hey guys. I tried to find similar topic but I couldn't.
I'm facing a problem with my Galaxy S4 i9500. Around a mouth ago I flushed kitkat with odin. After that I rooted it. The phone was working properly until couple of days ago. It start freezing and restarting. 2 days ago couldn't start at all. Stuck on SAMSUNG logo. I tried to flash kitkat again , but it failed. I was able to flash CWM recovery 6.0.3.3-i9500 and clean the cache, delvik cache and tried to restore the manufacturer settings. After rebooting, I see Samsung logo. phone restart and stuck on the Samsung logo again.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thank you.
Doesn't sound like a software problem. I think you have some hardware failure. I don't think it's your power button though, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stay in download mode for more then a few sec.
That doesn't sound good. What hardware problem might be? The phone has never been dropped and always been in a case.

Help Samsung Galaxy S5 Model SM-G900F won't load past the booting screen

Hello guys. This is my first post here, so pardon me if I weren't allowed to post this kind of threads here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I went into recovery mode, installed zip from the sd card, without making backups to the device. I guessed that the zip isn't compatible with my device, after installing, I rebooted the device and it just can't load past the ''Samsung'' booting screen. I have tried doing a factory reset, clearing cache and dalvik cache using clockwork mod recovery, but it just can't load past the screen after doing the above, plus taking out the battery and putting it back. I have also accidentally pressed clear rom to flash new custom rom in the recovery mode. Can someone please help out? Samsung kies could not detect my device now. Right now, I could still on the phone but it could not load past the booting screen. I would be glad if somebody could help me.
Thank you.
