[Q] Won't boot after ROM install - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! My first post here on the forum
So I've got this problem that my Samsung Galaxy S4 won't boot properly after the rom install.
The recovery I've been using is CWM and after the install when I press reboot the phone vibrates and the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" screen shows up and then the phone immediately shuts down again. Now I can't get the phone to start... :/
Thanks, Joakim.

Do a data factory reset reflash the rom again and clear the caches and reboot. Which rom did you flash?

Hmm alright, I tried to flash 4.2.2 google edition. But the problem is now when I go into recovery my phone can't find any ROM to install.
It feels like it's broken. And I've got no adapter for the micro-SD card so I manually can put in a rom to the SD :/
I can get in to the CWM recovery but in "install zip update package -> choose ZIP from sdcard" there is nothing. So all I can do is try to get a rom into the external SD and flash from there?

Yes, do that. Power down the phone, take the sdcard out and place a rom on it, boot into recovery and flash it in CWM. If that gives problems flash a stock rom in downloadmode with Odin.

push rom with adb. (you must have adb file on your pc)
boot into custom recovery, connect your phone, put the rom in with adb folder, open cmd prompt in the adb folder and type:
Code:
adb devices
you must see serial number
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /data/media/
or
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then install the rom

adb commands work in custom recovery mode even if "usb debugging" is disabled.
it is just a simple push to sd :good:
EDIT: @gee2012 can you do me a favor, since i dont have my s4 with me right now, can you try if adb recognized your phone in custom recovery mode?? i just want to be sure

No bro, the device is OFFLINE. You would have checked the box first when the device was on in usb mode. Like you have to with a nexus (fingerprint).

are you sure you are in custom recovery??
no, you need usb debugging enabled only when the OS is booted.
in custom recovery, you will see the serial number with "recovery" at the right in cmd
adb in custom recovery works fine with my SII plus

you must have custom recovery and not stock recovery to be recognized by adb command
use the latest adb file version (attached)

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, load a .zip rom and push it via custom recovery...
.... If not, use ADB to push a reflash of a clean install of 4.3

[Q] stuck on recovery screen.

Hello,
I've rooted my device and installed the hellfire Kitkat rom. Since I was not fully satisfied I wanted to go back to stock rom and then install the latest update from LG.
But now the device only boots into recovery (CWM V6.0.4.7)
I can install a backup ROM but when I reboot it enters recovery again.
I tried entering download mode by pressing "volume UP key" and then plugin usb but it enters recovery again.
Can someone help me please?!

I'm going to be cautious replying here because I'm a noob, but did you try using ADB to issue commands through adb sideload in cwm? If you go to "load zip" (or something along those lines) then "load using adb" (or something similar) in CWM, you can use adb to issue these commands with your computer and it should fix it (at least, it fixed a boot loop for me when I was stuck with TWRP). Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
First of all. DON'T PANIC!
And even before that - make a nandroid backup! Go in CWM and make a full backup.
You have recovery working so you should be able to load System on it ok.
I am not an expert but let me try to guide you step by step.
1. Make a backup!
2. Download a rom on your computer. MAKE SURE ITS FOR YOUR MODEL # of LG G2
List of roms here:
3. Make sure you have over 70% battery
4. Go into recovery CWM
5. Use Wipe > Swipe to Factory Wipe
(go back on bottom right corner)
6. Go Advanced from HOME screen of CWM
7. Click ADB sideload
7b. (I assume you have the drivers loaded. If not make sure ADB is loaded in windows and device manager shows it. Download basic ADB package so you have "adb.exe" file in it)
8. put your rom in the same folder where you have "Adb.exe"
9. Open command prompt on windows. Goto the folder where ADB.exe is. Then Type "adb push (filename) /sdcard/(filename)". Example, "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
10. Wait until it finishes its transfer(a message will appear saying the filename, file size and the speed of the transfer per sec when it finishes)
11. Wait for a while or reboot your cwm so that the filename will appear
12. just reflash the file in CWM (Install > choose file). Wipe after again.
13. Voila!

I did manage to restore the backup rom of 4.2.2 Then I downloaded the 4.4 OTA update and installed it. Then it hangs in recovery.
Do I need to have TWRP installed or does this work with CWM too?!

Basically what you need is a root shell whether it's via adb or built into recovery (cwm or twrp)
Searching the forum for "cwm bootloop ota" might give you detailed instructions for your case

Lg G2 LS980 Will not boot

I had stock android installed. And I had rooted. I tried to use flashify to install TWRP, but every time it rebooted it would go into fastboot mode. well, I didn't think it would be an issue if I decided to just let the stock update run it's course instead of flashing a rom. So I had the OTA for kitkat run. The phone rebooted, and will only boot into fastboot, and download mode. I need help to get back to stock of any form, root or no root. Please? I am quite far from any repair center at a hotel for the next few days, so Wi-Fi is quite slow.

All these things can be done through ADB yes. Didn't you have to download ADB to root in the first place? You shouldnt have to download again. However if you want to check start up a command prompt and type adb devices. That should pop up something if you have adb installed. I'm not sure if you need to be in a parent folder first though.

So, I have ADB installed. I am on windows 8 though, and the shift+windows button are not opening the prompt. Furthermore when I plug my phone in the computer says "windows cannot find 'C:\ Program Files (X86)\Mobogenie\Mobogenie.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again" I have no clue what Mobogenie is!
Advice? if there is any for me?
Edit: I can get the ADB window open, but when I type the command "fastboot flash twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980"
I get the following:
unknown partition 'twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980'
I am not sure what to do... Is the Mobogenie the issue? I have all of the proper drivers installed. though I don't see my device in computer on the laptop. Help please? I don't think I can take the device into sprint or lg, because it was rooted.

download mode

I'm stuck right here as far as download mode goes.
I installed TWRP on a d800 rooted with stock 4.2.2. The TWRP install went ok but it never booted afterward.
I can get into twrp, but can't sideload anything because the computer does not connect to the device, I hear the connection noise the computer makes but nothing in the device manager.
any ideas?
May I suggest you use "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip" instead of sideload (the sideload doesn't have to be enabled)

Thanks, I get
error: closed
I was wrong about my computer not seeing my device, it's in the device manager under Android and the adb drivers are installed.
I also renamed the rom to "update" to make it simpler
What's up now ?
Sorted it out or still issues there ?
I also tried the adb shell method.
I also tried this method through TWRP terminal and nada.
If I did something wrong here let me know, hopefully I can get it up and going

May I suggest you use "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip" instead of sideload (the sideload doesn't have to be enabled)

This is what I get when I do the above. The CMD prompt in located in the same directory as the adb files
ADB sees my device as this #

ok, let's do it like this
1. copy rom to c:\rom.zip
2. while in adb folder "adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
that should work, you don't need sideload to be enabled.
Please test and report.

I moved the file to the root of my C drive changed the name to "rom.zip"
Copied the command you supplied and got this result
I know my phone is connected because I can reboot it by using the command " adb reboot"
I used this;
adb push C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools\rom.zip
And it is now ready to install through TWRP!
Hold your breath.......
Edit;
Failed but at least it's in the twrp list
"unable to open zip"
I think I got it, I was able to access the firmware update screen.
Sorry fir these incomplete responses, I don't want you to keep looking for a resolve while I do this.
If your still here?
I'll be back!
Success!
After nothing would work except for loading the rom through adb I decided to wipe the whole thing.
I reloaded the rom and when selected for install it opened instead of preparing for install so I thought I would reboot and when I did I was prompted by su that my device may have lost root and gave me the option to reinstall it, I chose yes and when rebooting it hung (normal) at the LG logo, however this time the charge light was flashing! I attempted to access "download" and was successful in loading the stock rom.
In the end it looks like TWRP was the culprit, it used to be my favorite but not for this device
All is well, thanks for your help...

Was trying to update , but got stuck at boot screen .
Just flash the stock ROM with the stock recovery.
I can’t sideload it, “ adb not working “

Files all courupted
With stock recovery you can't use adb sideload in windows 10.
If you're unlocked i would flash Codeworkx TWRP, download the OOS 5.0.1 Full Rom Zip, boot into TWRP, copy the zip to your phone or sideload the zip.
If you're not unlocked (and thus being unable to flash twrp) use windows 7 and sideload the zip.
You can download ADB drivers here
Can you boot? Turn on USB debugging , make sure that you allow the device when booted.
Do an advanced devices when in the OS make sure it's there.
Then you can install a TWRP recovery and do what you need to.

Hi bro, I am unlocked ! I mange to find a win7 pc. I ran both commands “adb devices” and “Fastboot devices”
Both shows me my devices number hence drivers are working fine.
Now do I flash twrp and sidleload? Because I can’t sideload in stock “error: *cant read zip*”. Do advice me!
PS: can boot into OS, no OS in system only recovery . USB debugging was on before boot loop happens! Thanks for all advices !

be sure your bootloader is unlocked
turn your phone into fastboot
open command prompt to the folder your twrp is in.
rename the twrp image file to recovery.img
do the following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that boot into recovery
press adb sideload
on the computer, open command prompt to the folder where your zip file is in.
rename the rom zip file to rom.zip
do the following command: adb sideload rom.zip
done!
Thanks bro, I shall update you on the situation once I done, at work now.
Do I need to “open command promt “ at my sdk folder/plat-form tools?

nice good to hear!
haha, well tourists like Amsterdam so do visit that and visit The Hague/Scheveningen. I like these 3 places the most I think. Look up TripAdvisor for good attractions once you're there. do visit 'The Amsterdam Dungeon' don't miss that, I liked it very very much!

Cannot adb to the phone in FASTBOOT. adb devices shows nothing when in FASTBOOT, but shows the device when in normal boot.
Hence I cannot upgrade TWRP from 3.2.1-1 to 3.2.3-0. Was trying this so to upgrade from beta23 to the beta 26, now 27 with which 3.2.1-1 seems to have problems.
A 2nd approach, just re-installing beta23 without Magisk18 gives the stock recovery which manages the beta27 install. But then I'm blocked from a Magisk18 install and still cannot use FASTBOOT mode to put TWRP back on.
Thought the adb drives could be old and sought new drivers, even assuming your link is to the most current I don't know how to get my Windows7 to use the zip file. Can you assist? This would let me put the latest TWRP, hence install Magisk18 and be rooted again!
