So I rooted, and installed SS. And on ROM slot 1 I installed GE Rom. Once finished I rebooted and now its stuck on the Samsung Boot logo.
Doesnt go anywhere else.
I have let it sit here. I am able to get into the stock recovery mode. I already tried to factory wipe.
Any ideas?

What is your recovery? CWM or TWRP?
If you did wipe data on TWRP, it'll cause you to hang at the Samsung boot logo, you have to reflash via odin back to stock. Check GE FAQ section (post #2)

Oh shoot. Totally ignored safestrap. I heard you could only flash 4.2.2 ROMs and not 4.3

So I recently installed cynaogenmod 10.2 and now my phone won't boot into recovery. I was going to install gapps because I forgot to when I installed the rom. I do the correct sequence of buttons and then it shows recovery booting but then it vibrates and boots normally. I have no idea what's going on so any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Now it looks like it won't boot at all. I think I'll just let it sit for a bit.
Edit: Can I please have some help? I tried flashing a stock Odin firmware and now my phone won't boot past the AT&T logo.
Since using Odin, have you booted into stock recovery and done a factory and cache wipe?

+1. Factory reset will usually get you past a boot loop

Yeah I did that thanks, I hadn't thought that there was a "stock" recovery to do that with. I did it and now it works fine. I was still wondering why my phone wouldn't allow me to boot into recovery when I had 4.3 installed.
Looking for an opinion and maybe issue a warning......
Was running crawrj's stock deodexed MF9 ROM with reverepat's ICS theme. Stock kernel, no other mods. Playstore kept bugging me for an update to Talk(Hangouts), even though I knew it wasn't installed. Finally gave in and hit update. Phone rebooted, at least attempted to, and never made it past the "Samsung Galaxy S4" splash screen. Hard reset, same thing again.
I was able to boot into recovery(TWRP 2.5.0.2). Tried to wipe cache and dalvik...FAILED. Tried to restore nandroid...FAILED. Tried to factory reset...FAILED. Tried to flash ROM...FAILED. Flashed CWM, all wipes failed, all re-flashed fail. Attempted to remount /data...FAILED. Bricks SHAT.
Re-flashed back to TWRP...asks me for a password??? Hit cancel, format data works! Reboot back into recovery, flash crawrj's ROM again. Sign in to google. Reboot once more......stuck again at splash screen. Same issues all over.
Bad data partition? Thoughts?
Use Odin and flash a tar file.

Yep, Odin back to stock, boot and do a factory reset in the stock recovery, flash cf autoroot in Odin, flash twrp 2.5.0.2 in Odin then ref lash ROM of your choice. Good luck.

OK, so factory recovery data reset seems to have fixed it.
For my own sanity and curiosity, any thoughts on what happened here?
EDIT: and thanks to GiantJay and ifly4vamerica for straightening me out. Phone is good now.
Just recently rooted my s4, was working fine or so I thought, went to flash NamelessROM, I don't think the rom is the issue, I had my s2 rooted and flashed on a weekly basis so I know about wiping, data cache, and dalvik, I flashed Rom then Gapps, and it was stuck on boot up, of course I made a nandroid and restored, but now I'm stuck on the yellow sprint screen, did my research and found it it's called a Yellow Brick, or referred to as. Found out a possible fix was downloading the kernel so I've chosen the Rooted NoData kernel to download and flash via odin. Is this what I should do or is there a better fix out there?
Sounds like you wiped everything. Can you boot into recovery?

Yes I can, and I tried to restore back from my nandroid which is how I'm stuck on yellow sprint screen now versus stuck on the boot for NamelessROM.
Do a factory reset in recovery and see if it boots.
That will wipe your accounts and what not but you can't boot anyway.
If it won't boot then you'll need to flash a ROM to get running. Do you still have the ROM you wish to flash on your SD card or internal storage?

Just got me stuck on NamelessROM boot up so I'm restoring off nandroid again. I think that flashing the kernel will fix it.
I'd get the ROM booting then play with the kernel. That's just me though.

I'm trying to push a kernel through odin, I could possible try to find a way to put a kernel on my extsd and try and flash it through twrp? Would I just have to wipe cache and dalvik and flash? because when I try through odin it fails.
EDIT: I found a fix it involves unrooting most likely, but if I do I'll be back at VPUAMDC (Android 4.2.2) so could I still root with SafeRoot? Or what would be the way to root from that version?
Which firmware version did you root from? If it was MJA or MK2 you have to use one of those, you can't downgrade to MDC easily.

Ok,.....

I know, I know.. Well I believe I soft brick my ATT S4, I had Safestrap Recovery - TWRP 2.6 with Hyperdrive RLS15 rom running, until I decided to try another rom. I was bored nothing wrong with Hyperdrive, I was bored. So anyways I went ahead and tried Kangakat rom and it installed fine no errors nothing so I went to reboot and now its on an endless Samsung logo boot. I cant get back into TWRP.
Where did I do wrong ?
What options do I have ?
You went wrong because you didn't read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49562527
Kangakat won't work for you
You're probably stuck flashing firmware in Odin

You're right.
ODIN Flash worked.

I also didn't know;
To preserve your Safestrap Recovery... ONLY wipe 'system' while in the Safestrap Recovery. Wiping 'system' as part of the Aroma install, may delete the Safestrap Recovery as well. (Thanks @DeadlySin9)
If ROM uses Aroma Installer... UNCHECK reboot option at end. (This will allow you to go back to safestrap and flash the modules)
But all is well thanks.
I am using CM12 nightlies on my N900W8, and I haven't had any problems until I tried to flash a new nightly (while running 20150410-NIGHTLY-hltetmo) and instead of booting into recovery I got a black screen. After taking the battery out and back in and trying again, the same thing happened. When I started it back up again the internal memory was completely wiped, I have no idea how or why. It can boot into download mode but I cannot get into recovery and therefore can't flash a new ROM or recovery to fix it. What do I do?
Download mode flash stock rom through Odin .

Didn't work. I tried CWM and TWRP, both resulted in a black screen when booting in recovery mode.
