Device Stuck at Boot Screen - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey guys this has been very frustrating for me , I do not know what I am doing wrong
I unrooted my phone using Odin
I then install CWM from the App itself
I have an unlocked 1337m
I just cant seem to get any rom to work , I know how to flash them properly they all just hang at the boot screen. I tried SHOstock and that hung , I also tried OMEGA from the i9505 section and that hung at the same spot. The only successfully flashes were MIUI and some other random stock based rom. Did i miss a step ?
Thanks alot

Go back into recovery and do a factory reset, after odin you must do a factory reset.
Thank you

Stock on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock Image

I had Mint Jelly2.1 installed and everything was working fine.
it started when I had used the APK Hide It Pro. I was in the process of hiding videos and I noticed that my phone got rebooted and got stock in the Samsung boot up image with the Custom Lock image.
I tried nandroid restore, 2 images, but both also failed to restore / bootup.
I tried re-installing ROM and it was successful but during reboot, it will still get stock on the boot image.
Last step.
I used ODIN to restore the stock ROM and ODIN was able to install and reset. And my phone rebooted but still got stock on the Samsung Logo with CUstom Lock Screen.
What else can I do to fix this?
Thank you.
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. I assume you now have 3e stock recovery because of ODIN. This might or might not help. If you have any questions about recovery, please use the search function for information. If for some reason you still have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), try re-flashing an AT&T ROM and Kernel again. Everything you try is at your own risk. Good luck.

I had tried to restore/flash from recovery before ODIN and it all Failed.
Anyway, the last step ODIN restore and it was still stock at the Samsung Logo with Lock image.
I left the phone to charge the whole night and this morning when I turned it on, it was able to start properly with ODIN stock ROM.
I tried to go to recovery, and can only be done manually, and it was not the TWRP recovery but the stock one, with very small characters.
I tried to install Mint Jell2.1 right away but just reboots.
I realized that I might need to root it again and downloaded the Tool and re-loki'ed/rooted and installed TWRP.
Now, I am able to install Mint Jelly 2.1 and restoring all my apps.
I appreciate the comment.
Thank you.

Yeah, every single time I ODIN back to stock, I get stuck at the splash screen also. And rebooting to 3E (factory) recovery and "restore factory defaults" works great.

I am running out of options. I thought I am already out of this stuck on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock icon.
I had ODIN to stock I337UCUAMDL and reset, Ran Loki patch / installed TWRP, intermittently it will get stuck.
I flashed Shoshock 1.9, was able to reboot and setup basic settings.
I manually reboot to check if it was able to fix the problem, but no.
I am stuck again and don't know what is the next step for trouble shooting it.
any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I got stuck to 1st boot image of Samsung with Lock Custom Icon.
I did format data/factory reset/clear cache/dalvik.. all of the wipe ootions.
I flashed a new ROM, successful, rebooted pass the logo and booted fine. I did not change any settings yet and I rebooted to check if it will get stuck again and sure after reboot, it got stuck again on the 1st image that shows up : Samsung Logo with the Lock Custom Icon.

S4 9505 stuck in bootloop

Hi,
Earlier today I was trying to install the 4.3 omega rom (GE), so I went into recovery and accidently wiped the data before I installed the rom. I am not sure what caused the issue my phone is just stuck on the S4 boot screen.
I tried reinstalling the previous rom (Omega 4.2.2) and it made no difference. I have TWRP recovery and I can get into recovery fine. I noticed that I cannot factory reset from TWRP and it says E/data cannot be mount, reset failed.
I am not sure what to do and how to fix my phone I tried to look for e/data issue but I cannot find much on that issue and I am noobie to this so I cannot understand some processes that are mentioned. I tried not to mess around too much after I realised its stuck.
Please help!

I just did a stock firmware install through odin, now my phone is stuck on logo! Help!
Edit: I did some research and rebooted the phone on stock recovery, did a factory reset and restarted. It solved the issue and mine is back to life and working! Thank you for all your help!

[Q] Problem after flashing CF-Auto Root S5 SMG900F

Hi guys im a bit rusty again in all this since i rooted my S3 and HTC desire years ago ,

I followed the exact steps as usual , rooting went fine, phone rebooted as it should , i updated SUPERSU and its binaries and installed Ericson's Busybox,. ,and everything worked as it should ,
then i put off my phone and boot in to recovery mode to flash the Philz_touch_6.26.1-klte.zip (touch recovery)
when im in my stock recovery i facepalm'd myself because i hadnt put the flashable recovery file on my internal storage yet ,

this is where it all got strange,.
My phone stays black after Boot logo, gives me errors like ,. SYSTEM UI STOPPED ,. and so on for about everything that keep the phone running , i mean really everything STOPS , after about 15 minutes and klicking away all the Stopped msg's , it just reboots again to do the same.

Did you use the latest version of ODIN to flash the CF Root?
Think Odin3 v3.10.6 is the latest current version
If you used an old version, try flashing it again using the new one, other than that, I can only suggest trying to fix permissions in recovery if it has that option, TWRP should have it, and finally a factory reset, which is not ideal

i used Odin3-v3.07
but after flashing the root everything worked installed superSU and updated it and its binaries and installed busybox,.
it all stopped working after i went into Stock Recovery and back
id prefer not to do a factory reset Wipe,. unless i really have to to fix it ,.
im going to try reflash with the latest version then,.
i have swapped SD card to galaxy tab to put the Flashable touch recovery on the SD card, and swapped back to the phone so i could Flash the Recovery when im in stock ,.
but ill try flashing Root with latest Odin first.. thank you

the new odin is a bit less informative (to me as beginner)
i managed to use AP to flash the root again
all goes fine , it reboots
and its now upgrading android as it says and opening app's
then Black screen again,. i klick a button,. and it shows me again all the STOPPED msg's of all internal apps that are crashing,. litterally all apps,
what can i do ?
If clearing cache didn't work, fixing permissions in recovery didn't work, only thing left I can think of is factory reset

i cant fix persmission in stock recovery and flashing the philz touch recovery didnt work something about not verify signature,.
al i can do i guess is wipe data factory reset ,.but im affraid it wont fix anything
Try TWRP recovery instead
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/229
No reason a factory reset won't fix things, worst comes to worst, flash the whole ROM again from ODIN, that will fix everything as it wipes and reinstalls the lot
Grab a stock ROM from sammobile
Thank you for all your replys mate..
I managed to get it working again by doing a factory reset in stock recovery after I flashed root with latest odin
Even tho it was my last resort there was nothing else I guess .
I'm not sure tho if this will happen again when I go back to recovery like I did when this all happend the first time while I actually want to flash a more advanced recovery then stock recovery ..
But I'll take my chances and just leave it as it is
Again thank you for your help and suggestions .

Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
Pleased you got it working again, I would say if you think you might want to flash another advanced recovery in the future, it might be best to do that now since you have already factory reset the phone, that way if this happens again, you don't lose months of data and settings and files that you have gathered between now and whenever you decide to flash recovery

i have actually ,. i installed the TWRP u mentioned,. by taking there app from the Playstore,. and flashed the new recovery, within android and without rebooting (just in case)
im used to the old CWM thats why i first wanted the Touch recovery as its based on it,
but always open for trying new things
Thank you
Good stuff
Id say the whole entering recovery / apps crashing thing was a problem with the ODIN version you used to root, too old for Lollipop is my guess, so I wouldn't worry about entering recovery again.

Samsung S4 Stuck In Bootloop PLZ HELP Me

So my galaxy s4 decided not to turn on anymore and is stuck in bootloop. It is really weird the phone either gets stuck at the samsung logo or gets stuck trying to boot into recovery but just doesnt make it in. I tried installing twrp but the same result where it is stuck trying to boot into recovery but never makes it. I also tried installing stock lollipop but it still doesn't boot up. PLZ help my nexus 5 just broke and now this phone isnt working either
You're using Odin to install a stock rom? Any errors when flashing with Odin? If Odin flash was successful, did you perform a factory reset before booting the phone for the first time with the newly-flashed stock rom?Did the stock rom come from sammobile.com?

So i got the stock firmware for my s4 from sammobile and used odin to install it( downloaded fine) but after it just restarted and tried to boot into recovery mode unsuccessfully. I would have tried to do a factory reset but i cant since i cant actually get into recovery mode.
Open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash the rom. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to boot into recovery, factory wipe, and reboot.

OMG I LOVE YOU. I dont know how unplugging the micro usb and taking the battery out made a difference(i had flashed via odin many times unsuccessfully) but i cannot thank you enough
Glad it worked for you.
We're all here to help each other out.
Cheers.
If you wnat to install twrp and you don't like Odin too much I recomend you the app TWRP manager, you just need root, it's a very simple app
I prefer flashing TWRP via Odin as it has never failed for me.

You may have to wipe system and format data before restoring.
