hi guys i have a Galaxy S4 i9505 from O2, UK. Recently I have tried to change the rom then i got the phone rooted and installed CWM recovery ,after that i have tried variuos google edition Roms but non of them are working and they get stuck on the boot screen .i was wondering did i miss something or is related to my phone which is locked to O2 carrier ?but phone works properly on other TW roms. sorry to bother u guys but i have searched a lot which was pointless ,thanks
hey first of all the CWM recovery seems to be very buggy so u should use the Phliz Recovery. And another question: did u made a full wipe before u flashed the Rom? when not flash the Rom again with a full wipe

search the forum n there are many useful posts for getting back to recovery like very detailed posts so search the first before creating new threads ...
if nothing helps like when u tried everything then go to local repair shop .. , they will charge max 40$ but that will save ur warranty.
Hey people of XDA,
It's my first time posting so forgive me if its a repeat or dumb question but here goes my story :
I bought a used S4 that was rooted + aws enabled. It was working fine until one day it got stuck on the Samsung logo during boot. I tried clearing cache and factory resetting from the recovery but that didnt work. So I proceeded to reverting the phone to the stock rom with odin, which I got from Android rootz ( Google telus s4 stock rom, its the first link ).
So that worked, the phone booted its 4.2.2 but , no Wifi and no sound no AWS. My question are :
- Why arent the wifi and sound working if it was stock ?
- can I root my S4 following the steps in this thread : (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 ) ?
- does it matter which version of Android im on ? for instance, I was thinking about installing the stock kikat for telus before rooting ?
- Does it matter if i use odin 1.85 vs newer versions
THANKSSS

1. I would install 4.4.2
2. If it wont work with odin1.85 use the 3.09 version
3. Install philz touch recovery and select "clean to install a new rom" so everything will be cleaned and the wifi should work fine after flash with odin
4. root it with www.towelroot.com
5. I hope I answered all your questions
Hey,
I really appreciate your help...i just started all this stuff yesterday so lm going to look into philz touch recovery. Also I think I know how to root using odin so im just going to do that once my phone starts working ( unless that doesnt work on 4.4.2 ? )
However, Right now can i just use odin to add in kit kat stock rom for telus ( or any other stock rom for that matter - maybe the one i used was bad )? I honestly want to worry about rooting and AWS after getting the phone fully functional
Thanks again i really appreciate your help
Hi guys,
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I'd really appreciate it!
I've never had to ask for help before with flashing one of my devices, and have flashed hundreds of times with my previous phones, S3, S5 and Note3 .. However this one has me a bit stumped. I have the Note4 N910F and I see many awesome LP ROMS seem to require that you flash stock 5.0.1 via Odin before flashing the custom ROM.
I managed to do this successfully with the ROM listed at Sammobile called "Unknown 5.0.1 N910FXXU1BOC3 N910FTPD1BOC1" - Everything is OK, boots perfectly and I have cell signal and LTE. Rooting was also a non-issue. The problem I have though is that no matter which custom recovery I try, and regardless of ROM that I try, all seem to get stuck in a boot loop at the Samsung screen.
Am I doing or have done something horribly wrong?
Please help!
I think I may have answered my own question. The stock ROM I flashed was BOB3, it seems I need to be on BOB4, which is the German based ROM. Busy downloading that now!

Why can't you flash custom rom's with BOB3 installed?
Thanks
Hi all,
I've recently been gifted the note 3 n900 and rooted it. I also installed TWRP and CWM as well, and when i go to install a ROM, it does say successfully and then at reboot, it shows the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, after that it goes blank. I've to do a battery pull to get it back and then restore a backup. I've tried many ROMs and also did rooting again, still nothing.
I've been using the galaxy s4 i9500 for about 2 years now and that is rooted and i've been flashing roms on it all year long with no problem. I'm just not sure what's going with this.
I'm currently on 4.4.2 official stock as I can't do much. Lollipop has not yet come to my region i think.
Any help would be widely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Same Issue here but I am even not getting a samsung logo or a custom rom logo.

Hi
I had this problem for a couple of days, I found out that I flashed a incompatible rom via Odin. Can you can go into fast boot mode and tell me what it says at the top? Mine said " Couldn't do normal boot " which means the rom I flashed was not supported for my device. I went to the Samsung website to download a rom that was compatible with my device, I flashed it via Odin and it worked.
Thanks
I Just got my error fixed. U need to flash your bootloader via odin

I found that flashing the Stock Lollipop Rom worked, just as mentioned above by the above post. Yes, just by updating the bootloader i think it works. I've done it by getting the Russian stock rom from sammobile (even though i'm not in Russia), works like a charm. Really love the new feel to the note 3 n900. Just need to find a way to get permissive kernel now and ites perfect.
I am using samsung galaxy A500G and after rooting my phone the screen mirroring function is not working anymore.
Please help me solving this issue.
For me screen mirroring works OK on stock rooted ROM, but it never works on any CM rom based (because CM doesn't support screen mirroring on our a5 versions).
So if you are still on stock ROM it should work, but if you're on a custom ROM then you'll better forget it...
its running on stock rom
Sir,
My a500g is still running on stock rom and i am not using any custom rom, i tried too many times but still screen mirroring is not working and one more thing i installed TWRP after rooting my phone but it got stuck on TWRP mode. please help me.

I think it should be better if you will flash again the stock ROM with odin. After that you can go again to root your phone and install again TWRP but be very carefully and double check the steps you performe because you did something wrong on your first attempt to root/twrp your phone.
