Install Philz recovery from here http://d-h.st/wSF in downloadmode with Odin 3.04 and you should be fine. TWRP and CWM are a bit buggy imo.

[Q] Rooted, custom rom installed but not booting anymore

Hello,
Ii have rooted my S4 device with the procedure from XDA (root original rom with keeping update availability). This was done succesfully. After that TWRP was flashed without problems. Than i decided to installl Omega 9 custom rom. The installation went fine and i could use it for three days. A great rom but after a restart my device will not boot anymore and shows only the Samsung logo. Wiping is possible but trying to restore a backup failed....... Do i have to apply root again? Any help is appreciated to solve my problem! Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Mark

Install Philz Touch recovery in downloadmode, this will help you http://d-h.st/wSF.
I reflashed Philz Touch with ODIN successfully but the recovery mode did not came up. How is this possible? Back to TWRP now with same problems......
If you already have the omega 9 rom in your phone...try to reflash it via recovery .....don't have to wipe data....but do it to be safe....I think it should work...I really hope it works...sorry about your phone

Well the only other option is to download a ROM that can be flashed via Odin.....hopefully your download mode works.....i think you can find several compatible ROMs in the forums.....try that out....as a last resort

Well, download mode works fine, TWRP works fine, flashing ROM works fine, ROM itselfs works great, until i have to reboot. After booting it hangs in the boatloader and i have to flash rom again.........................to get access.

Well do you merely flash the ROM? try wiping cache afterwards and setting permission....if that doesn't work try to reflash stock firmware....thats your best bet

You need to wipe data, system, and the caches before you flash the rom.

After you flash/install a stock fw or a custom rom, you should do a factory reset and ur bootloop will go away.

hello, i have done this also. still there
it still gets stuck at Samsung screen
bump
Well, I'm not positive about that variant but if the bootloader is locked you would need a rom or kernel with loki or you would need a custom recovery with auto-loki. If you look at the kernel you flash instead of boot.img in the zip it will be boot.lok. Not sure if this is the case for your phone but you should look into it if you haven't already.
You probably also have a bad download..please check your download rom md5 make sure they're matching ..if not re-download ..

Accidentally wiped data....T_T

Hi all, so I got this nice S4 i9505 (telstra unlocked).
after a week I thought I'd try install pacman rom.
I installed openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.1-jfltexx.tar
I wiped all caches, system, data, and than the fatal mistake, I wiped the WRONG data...... now I have nothing on my phone.
It wasn't rooted, I've lost everything, I need to get I9505XXUEMJ5 (stock) and flash it back on, and start again.
I tried CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
than openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.1-jfltexx.tar
right now I have twrp on there, and not much else.
basically, I've wiped the data and now i need to reinstall stock. than start again flashing pacman.
how can I get out of this situation?
I can't find I9505XXUEMJ5 ANYWHERE with a reliable download, the one I've got is 10KB/s and will take 30HOURS to download T_T T_T T_T I need help....
thanks in advance :3
I need my phone T_T it's brand new.
I'm assuming I9505XXUEMJ5 is the right firmware to flash on it, and that I don't need any extra modem or anything to flash?
to flash pacman rom I just need to install copy rom to phone after stock rom is on, reboot into twrp and flash rom??
what about root?
when I try install CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip from TWRP it works, but when I booted into the telstra firmware it said SuperSu crashed straight away.

You can get the telstra rom from sammobile.com (the latest is ND1), but it will probably have the knox bootloader crap on it. As long as you have trwp installed and running, you can install any custom rom from that, root will be done by the custom rom, you don't need to root first and you will find most custom roms will have superuser installed as well.
I have a telstra S4, but I am running Echoe rom v29, when installing it gives you the option to wipe cache and things.

So you cant boot your phone at all? If not you will have to go to telstra or samsung and get them to fix it.
I am wondering if you need a pit file to also flash in odin, you can get a i9505 pit file from this site.
With trwp the latest is 2.7.1.0.

I'm going to try install I9505XXUEND1 through TWRP.
Got from sammobile
From what I read flashing stock should fix the problem.
I dont think you can flash that through recovery, you will have to use odin.

So that means I should be able to install pacman after installing stock?
Yeah I need to use odin. no problem.
Downloading stock rom now, will take an hour with the slow option on sammobile.
The stock rom I downloaded from some random place that took 30hours!!!!!!!!!! didn't work so I hope this stock one works.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
You will have to install the custom recovery again, but after that flash away!

I installed stock rom, it is still stuck at samsung logo...
what can I do???
I'm very poor I can't afford a new phone...... this one is brand new!! T_T
EDIT:
finally got to the second SAMSUNG logo. I think it'll make it through the first boot soon I hope .
How long has it been stuck for, I remember it took over 5 minutes to boot, and even then I had to press the power button for it to finish booting.

Are you flashing the black power edition RC1 or a nightly?

S5 Recovery Bootloop

Hey guys need a hand with something,
I was just in the process of flashing a blisspop 5.1 to my galaxy s5 and now Ive ran into difficulties. Phone did a full boot and launched perfectly however when I was restoring my apps through google play I accidentally hit quit and exited the installation. So therefore to restart the process (as I didn't know another way) I hit factory reset. Phone rebooted however it tried to reboot into recovery but the recovery wouldnt boot (twrp) and the trwp screen just kept flashing. Pulled the battery and it rebooted to recovery again with the same bootloop issue. I can get into download mode and am thinking of reflashing twrp but need help before I brick my phone!
Thanks!

you may flash TWRP again in odin and after that I suggest you flash ktoonsez.zip TWRP after that so you have a stable TWRP

Would it be better to reflash twrp or should I flash stock firmware? I really don't want to lose this phone as I bought it less than a month ago.

you may flash the TWRP first if the problem still persist then the only choice you have is to flash stock firm then reflash TWRP, then after that I suggest you flash in TWRP the TWRP by ktoonsez because it in zip file most of us s5 user uses his TWRP
also dont be afraid as it would not hardbrick your device as long as you can access in download you are always safe., first day of my s5 I root it already and flash custom rom
