Okay I have the same problem as the guy in this thread, only for me fixing permissions does not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325911
I can install and restore roms and my backups, but when I restard phone it get stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 Screen....
Any idea?
Nevermind!
I found the solution. If someone runs into the same problems as me, I used many hours trying to find out.
Just install CWM or Philz Recovery and then fix permissions! (instead of using TWRP)

I'm having this issue right now - I'm currently using TWRP. So you are saying that you installed CWM (which version? Also what ROM are you using?)
When you said then I fix permissions! (what exactly do you mean?) Sorry for all the questions, this is driving me crazy.
Thanks,

Fix permissions is an option in advanced setting at CWM/ Philz recovery i m not sure abt TWRP
No offence but i suggest u flash PHILZ recovery and there wipe cache / dalvik / fix permissions device will boot up just fine

Install philz recovery. In one of the menus theres an option to restore permissins, I believe it's in advanced(?). Sorry been a little while since I've used recovery for flashing or backup...
I updated my phone to latest liquidsmooth rom two days ago and the phone freezes and restarts/reboots randomly like sometimes when im on phone/ playing a game/ using browser/ connected to charger. Yesterday I changed rom to latest carbon rom. Did install (3 wipes) as told in the thread but im still having the reboots.
Im using TWRP recovery and had used Utility 1.10 to go back to stock from Energy rom with safestrap recovery.
Can tell me whats the prob? Is it the kernel problem?
Have you tried upgrading or reflashing TWRP and then doing a clean install of Carbon? Its probably worth doing a fresh download of each first just to make sure you cover all your bases. These reboots were happening to me a few months ago and it drove me mad. following these steps fixed it for me.

Honestly, if you're using SafeStrap, that might be your problem. Remove SS and flash the ROM in TWRP. If your bootloader is unlocked, you don't really want to use SS. Also, make a stock backup in TWRP, prior to flashing. This way, it will be easier for you to recover in the future, and you won't need to go through the painful process of fastboot.

Thanks man. I will upgrade TWRP or reinstall it first. Thanks for that tip. Will post again if it doesnt work.
Still having those restarts. Really irritating. Froze and rebooted 4 5 times today morning while I was on call and trying to message. I reflashed reinstalled everything. I used both Utility 1.10 and 1.20. Im getting reboots even the stock ROM after using the Utility. I am confused which Utility I should be using. I had no issue of rebooting before flashing using Utility. Can someone give me exact procedure to reflash so that i know i am not missing out anything.

you might need to do a clean install.
- what version of TWRP are you using (anything other than 2.4 should be fine)?
- to perform the clean install, mount system, then try wiping everything (system, factory reset, & internal storage) - DO NOT WIPE external SD (I presume this is where you store the ROM files
- after wiping, reboot recovery, then install whichever 4.2.2 ROM you want follow by the GApps (use the 3/2013 version)

Since TWRP wasnt working for me, I tried flashing with CWM recovery by hashcode. Still had reboots. I was using TWRP 2.3.2.3
When you say wipe everything, does it include 'modem' and 'pds'? Saw these two options also inside Mount/Format menu of CWM recovery.
Also there was an option 'Mount sdcard' (internal I suppose) but when i click it nothing happens it remains as Mount sdcard. Rest of it changes from Mount to Unmount. Is there some problem with that?
Do I have to just Mount system only? Also after rebooting recovery do I have to mount system again?
I try again as you said meanwhile.

nope, just system/factory reset/internal storage.
yes, make sure everything is mounted (checked) so that they read "unmount"

Did exactly like said. Got into CWM recovery. Mounted system. Formatted system, data, cache, sdcard. Did factory reset and wiped the caches. Then rebooted recovery. Then installed the ROM, 3/13 gapps, gsm fix. Reboot system. Still no use. I got 2 reboots in 5 mins in the ROM. I checked the md5 of the files and its ok. Dont know what else to try?

are you flashing a kernel at the same time?
I would recommend trying a basic 4.2.2 ROM right now - like unoffical AOKP.
another problem could be the GApps or GSM fix. try installing just the ROM without the GApps perhaps?
carbon was very solid too. unfortunately, I can't help you with the GSM fix, as I am CDMA.

I think I have root access I had no issue with it. Okay maybe I will check the thread you gave. Anyways I tried Eclipse ROM which is based AOKP. Still had reboots. So I switched back to liquid. Anyways Im gonna keep trying the basics. If anyone has any suggestions I could try its welcome.
PS. Should I flash another kernel with the ROM just in case ? I have been only installing ROM and gapps only till now.

I don't think changing the kernel will do it.... I suspect the issue is with your recoveries - will respond in other thread....
Hey, I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. Here's what happened: I wanted to do an update to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so I downloaded the ROM and gapps. I wiped dalvik, cache, and system and flashed the ROM. When I tried to flash the gapps Clockwork Mod said it was corrupt. No problem, turned the phone off, pulled micro usb card and put the gapps on that. The only problem is now I can't boot into recovery at all, with the Power+down option and ROM Manager crashes when I try to open it. So the problem is that I can't boot into recovery and I can't reinstall ROM Manager because I don't have gapps. Titanium Backup is also having problems and can't get root access. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
I'd Odin back to stock and start over.

How do I do that? Will I be able to since I had CyanogenMod 10.1 on before I tried to update?
Also, It would be better if I could just reflash a custom recovery, is there any way to do that?

See if you can find an odin flashable recovery. There's probably one in the development forum. Flash that.

Hey all,
Just rooted my Galaxy S4 yesterday on AT&T. Rooted it using tLoki + TWRP + Motochopper CASUAL method. I have TWRP recovery installed and can get to that no problem. I have the following build of Cyanogen flashed:
cm_jflteatt-userdebug 4.3 JLS36G f65925b07a test-keys
CyanogenMod version:
10.2-2013007-NIGHTLY-jflteatt
Baseband: I337UCUAMDL
Phone works flawlessly after the flash, but as soon as I power off or reboot, it just hangs at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and doesn't do anything. Only way out is to boot into recovery wipe and re-flash the Cyanogen ROM.
Any thoughts? I don't even know where to start...

This has been an issue on other devices. Flashing with cwm seems to have consistently worked. Once you get it up and running you can flash back to twrp for your nandroids. I've had to do this on my i727.

Thought maybe it was a ROM problem, but any I've tried have this same problem.
How do I go about replacing twrp with cwm? I have no idea how to replace the recovery. Any direction would be much appreciated :good:

This is already a known issue for Cyanogenmod 10.1 and 10.2. Using CWM will help it a little bit, but will still occur. There is no fix.

Get a cwm zip file and flash it like you would a rom but don't do any wipes. It'll flash on top of twrp and replace it. Do the same thing to go back to twrp.

Just download ROM Manager and flash CWM.
Which ROMs have you tried so far? Are they based off of CM?
Try to clear the delvik cache and the cache. I believe it will boot normal then

No, they're not all based off of CWM.
The last few I tried were BeanStalk and Task650 AOKP. The Task650AOKP booted up fine the first time, I did a reboot and then it was permanently stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen, even after I cleared cache's and factory reset with a re-flash. I tried that several times and still couldn'y get back in, so luckily I had a backup of my original rooted config and that booted up.
I did install rom manger just now and flashed cwm recovery...just afraid to reboot..haha. I wish I knew what the problem could be here...
So i finally rooted and went into twrp. This is the first rom im installing. Ive done this whole root thing for a little over 4 years now.
I went to do a wipe, system, cache, dav....and its been stuck on "factory reset" for 10 mins now what do i do. did i do something wrong?
formatting cache using make_ext4s function" is what its saying
the phone shut of and i thought it was done for. It did reboot but nothing was wiped. am i doing something wrong here?
normally you just go into the twrp, slide to wipe everything, install rom, gapps, wipe cache and dav and reboot.
