Help...
I had a working phone with 3.0 golden eye.
I had installed Hide it Pro and File Hide it.
I was able to use the File Hide it but after reboot, the screen got stock at Samsung S4 Logo screen and I tried to restore and was TWRP says restored but during reboot it will get stock still at the Samsung S4 logo.
Now, I am trying desperately how to even just make it work.
I remember last time I had installed Hide It Pro and it also got my older phone get stock in the same situation and had used a different ROM.
this is the 2nd phone that is stock after installing Hide It Pro.
Any suggestions on how to revive my phone?
I am currently downloading the stock "I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_ATT.zip" and will try to Odin it.
I am looking to use the later UCUADML stock rom.
Thank you.

Actually have you tried a factory reset yet? I would try that first before Odin.
That will work, make sure after you odin, you do a factory reset, or you will still see the same issue, odin does NOT do a factory reset.
Good luck.
head over to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares. you'll have to register as a user but they have the MDL firmware you are looking for.

You are right. I did a factory reset first, did not work so my last resort was ODIN.
I did ODIN and I was able to see the apps and play with it. after reboot, got stock again at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo.
I wil ODIN again and after reboot in the phone, I will do a factory reset since I believe the phone is non-rooted at this point.
I will post back what happens.
Thanks.

It's getting frustrating.
I had ODIN my phone, reboot and factory reset by using the vol up+power+home.
stock was fine.
rooted the phone and installed SHOstock 2.0 by wiping all including format data.
at first reboot, gets stock on the samsung logo...
what else can I do to fix this even if i had already rolled it back to stock/factory reset?
Thank you.

I had ODIN it again.
After reset/reboot, since it is connected to my pc the invisible batter in the background appears and does nothing after the ATT logo with sounds came out.
disconnected from pc and tried to reboot. it will only show the logo during power button push, release the power button and the logo disappears and dies.

Hey guys,
I flashed back to stock with ODIN. Everything passes. But when the phone reboots it comes up with Samsung custom logo and seems to get stuck there? Any ideas?
EDIT: this is the ATT I337, I have flashed with ODIN before and it worked out fine. I am doing everything I normally did.

I waited like 3 minutes or so. But it never passes the custom Samsung screen at boot. Maybe I need to give it more time? I flashed Loki and I installed slimbean. Slimbean was a little buggy as it is still in beta so I went to restore my recovery. My recovery was missing from TWRP so I tried flashing back to stock odin to start over from square one.
I am using ODIN 3.07 on a PC running Windows 8. If I find out that all i have to do is wait longer I am gonna feel like an idiot lol.

Initial boots can be long but I don't know about more than 3 minutes? Not really sure about what happens if you ODiN back after TWRP? I'll let more technical folks take a stab at it. It can't hurt to wait though.
Well I don't know what was ailing the odin flash, but I just used Kies emergency recovery and all is fine now. Weird... Appreciate your help.

Question for you, does recovering this way wipe everything? Apps, root, settings, all mods? Just want to know for my own reference.

This was my first time ever using KIES recovery. As far as I could tell everything is wiped. I did a factory reset afterwards just to be safe so I can't say with 100% certainty. I had the custom logo after reboot for 10 seconds, then after a manual reboot it boots regularly without the custom logo.
While trying to do the hotspot mod on my Sprint Galaxy s4, something went wrong. Phone will not boot past Yellow Sprint screen. I have tried full system reset by flashing stock rom with odin, but still no go. It says pass, but when rebooting, still stuck at yellow screen. Any ideas?
How long are you letting it sit there. It takes a few minutes to boot sometimes after a reset.

Did you not take a Nandroid backup before trying this? If so restore.
This happened to me as well. Went ahead and restored. Then flashed stock with no root. Installed root and TWRP. Flashed through Odin Noobnl's bootloader upgrade file and then the latest stock kernel. Then I did a factory reset and the hotspot mod appeared finally and all is good.
I'm pretttyyyy sure the hotspot mod is for deodexed ROMs only. Make sure you are deodexed and not odexed. That will cause you to get stuck at the Sprint boot up screen.

Oh my fault, didn't know that! Maybe he flashed the opposite one that he was supposed to then?!
PS- To the OP... this thread is probably gonna be moved to Q&A.
I had this happen the other night while flashing both hotspot mod and 4 in 1 reboot mod. The only thing I could come up with (why it didn't work the first time but worked fine second time) is that I flashed from internal sd the first time but from my external the second time. Unfortunately I couldn't restore my nandroid because my phone wouldn't recognize my 64gb sd card while in recovery. (OUDHS)
To get out of it I just flashed crawj's stock rooted odexed ROM and then re-flashed both mods (from external sd) with no problems at all.

OK GOT IT! Flashed a stock MDC ROM. It reset but keeps asking for a software update. I am a little nervous about doing update because I don't want to lose root.
My friend has sort of the same problem..but his is not app related. His phone just rebooted itself out of nowhere yesterday...he is 100% stock..not even rooted...it also hangs on the horrid yellow Sprint boot screen....it will boot fine into safe mode. So I rooted it, installed a new stock rom/modem/kernel...and still he is having the same problem. it can not be the battery otherwise safe mode would reboot too...but I am at a loss here..some other random hardware failure from some app that isn't loaded while in safe mode??
Same issue, please help

Did you figure out a fix for the stuck at yellow sprint screen? I too, installed the odex file and am now stuck on the yellow sprint screen. my phone doesn't boot up. I went into the cwm boot up and selected restore but that didn't fix it. I went into the normal boot recovery mode and selected data wipe/factory reset and it said that this was completed; however, I'm still stuck at the Yellow Sprint Screen.
Does anyone have a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can someone please do a step by step on how to get past the annoying ugly yellow Sprint logo screen?
So I'm stuck as well on the Yellow Sprint Screen on boot. All I did was qbking77 root and wifi mod. At the end following his video he said to reboot the phone. Well now I'm stuck. I'm ODEX MF9 with 4.2.2. I followed the instuctions step by step, not sure what happened. Any help please? Thanks
Hey,
today I changed some settings in my phone and then I got a systemUI error, which I couldn't close etc., so I had to factory reset, which I did, but it didn't worked.
As I had the EchoeRom on my SD-Card, I just decided to flash it with TWRP-Recovery.
I don't know how or why... but somehow I did a system wipe too. This shouldn't be a problem as I just were about to flash the new Rom.
After flashing the EchoeRom I had some trouble with recognizing the SIM-Card, so I removed this ROM too..
So I flashed the original stock ROM with Odin and the S4 boots up and optimizes the apps.
THE PROBLEM NOW OCCURS:
I get into the language selection screen and it doesn't care if i hit anything or not. After 3-5 seconds the phone shuts down by itself and gets into some weird boot-loop with vibration, shining samsung logo and also blinking soft-touch keys.
I think I messed up something with bootloader etc.?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Just reflash the rom or try a different rom and you will be fine.

Same here. Only in my case I use this ROOM for weeks
Hi,
My i9505 Intl (Australian Telstra LTE) SGS4 has been rooted for a year at least now, and recently (a few months) had TWRP recovery and CM13 installed and everything was going great. I loved CM!
Anyway I had done a few nightly patches of CM and all seemed good and then a week ago I installed the most recent nightly (possibly this one cm-13.0-20160819-NIGHTLY-jfltexx-recovery.img ). Well the subsequent reboot put the phone into a boot loop. So I thought no problem just boot to recovery and install my recent Nandroid back up. So did that but in my haste didn't clear cache or data. The nandroid reinstall seemed to go ok but a subsequent boot hung at the CM logo (I think it was a while ago now) and I couldn't boot to recovery, just hung with the blue text.
So I fired up Odin and booted to download and reflashed with TWRP. Boot to recovery still didn't work however I could still boot to download.
Tried different USB ports, different versions of Odin, re installed drivers to no avail. Also tried CWM, TWRP and Philz recovery and once I did get it to boot to recovery with Philz. THIS TIME cleared cache and data and loaded a good copy of CM that I had on my SD card. Again stuck in boot. Couldn't get back to recovery.
Tried loading the orginal samsung firmware and they I was stuck with a Samsung logo boot looping. Ditto recovery just hung at the logo and the blue text "recovery booting".
Rinse and repeat a few times and now the phone has started to become difficult to get into download or recovery. If I leave it with the battery out for a while it seems to come good again.
Odin when flashing a new recovery either hangs half way though or completes and says everything is OK. Full blue bar on the phone.
Rebooting however still leaves me in the boot loop.
There is no mention on Odin of any issues with the partition however I have d/l a PIT file from one of samersh72's posts but am not sure if it is the correct one for my Int phone or indeed if I need to use it as Odin doesn't seem to report any partition errors.
If any one has any suggestions I am very receptive to ideas right now.....
Thanks

I did a factory wipe and then installed CM from my SD card but that is the only time I have able to get into recovery since the first time when I reloaded my nandroid backup
Did you try flashing recovery without selecting auto reboot? Once flashed, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, try to boot into recovery.

Yup tried that, as I realised that the auto boot might be overwriting the custom recovery...........however as a new development I haven't been able to boot to download or even the stuck recovery since yesterday.
I think it has now moved to a full hard brick

But on the plus side it is actually responding to button presses today. I will pick up some 100K resistors tomorrow and finish off my USB jig. See how that goes.
Well it appears to have finally died fully. No response to any button or combination of button presses. Made up a USB jig but without some response to a boot that won't work either.
Thanks to Audit and Justgamer for your advice. Think it is time to draw a line under this one and move on. Maybe a new Nexus when they drop?
