I was using odin to get my phone back to stock and everything seemed to go ok, it said pass then rebooted but it gets to the yellow sprint screen and just stays there. The blue light is on but cannot get past this screen. I flashed the Tar from Sammobile. Anything I can do to get past this or is the phone bricked? Oh and I have tried the MF9 firmware and the MDL firmware and it gets stuck every time.

If you booted up you have to do a factory reset.

I was messing around with my phone getting trying to get the annoying "insufficient storage available" notification to go away, I was able to by going into the internal files then deleting the app data.
I rebooted my phone and now I'm stuck at the yellow sprint logo. I went to recovery mode did a factory reset then tried to wipe cashe and a dead android appears with a red exclamation point. Then it reboots and goes back to the yellow logo and freezes there.
Help!! I don't have a computer at the moment, and no clue what to do!

I won't have access to a computer for a couple weeks. Do you know how sprint would handle this issue? I don't have insurance but I just got the phone a month ago.
If you can get into stock recovery mode - Power+Home Button+Volume Up. Try a 'factory reset'.
If that doesn't work you can always take it in and say you what every you feel is okay (phone stopped booting or whatever) and see what they say.

Can you go to a friend's place? Library? Work? Somewhere with a computer? If you have the file to go back to stock you should have your phone back no more than 10 mins max.

You won't be able to do anything. Make sure to always keep a stable rom backed up so that in cases like these, you can at least use your phone.
Thanks. Everyone for the advice I will have to do that next time, I took it to sprint and they wanted $100 to fix it!! Heck no when I can do it myself. The lady said it was a software malfunction hehe if only she knew I had been hacking away lol
So I am going to do it myself, I'll just need to flash stock mf9 right??
I put the tri rom on it today and everything was fine. Part of the way thru the day it suddenly rebooted and went to the animation screen. I try to go to recovery and It doesn't do anything. I have been flashing for years now and this has never happened to me before. . can somebody please try to help. I looked for the answer for hours.

Does it connect to the computer? Specifically Odin?
Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped!

Download mode by itself wont do anything. You need to plug it in to the computer and use odin to odin back to stock.

Can somebody be specific about the odin download cause I'm clearly missing something.
ok I saw the Odin download. Is the verizon and sprint one the same thing?
For Odin, yes.
For the actual ROM, no.
Do NOT use a Verizon ROM on a Sprint phone.

The odin worked. Thank you so much.
Im wondering if someone can help me. I recently rooted my phone with odin and was adding a rom. I guess it didn't download completely or correctly when I tried to install it and said it fail. I accidentally rebooted my phone. I don't have a backup on my phone to restore it. I do have a backup on my computer but cant get it onto my phone. Now my phone gets stuck on the Samsung galaxy s4 screen, and will not boot the rest of the way. I can get to the download screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Easiest way is to download the full rom .tar file and flash with odin. pretty sure they are posted in the dev section.

I was on Sac's Custom Rom. After using the camera tonight, it started to boot loop on me. I was able to get into download mode, and reset it, however now I am stuck at the sprint screen. The blue light at the top keeps glowing faint and strong, but I can't get past that. Any ideas? I used the method and file from qbking77's site.

Hey all, in need of a little assistance. I was running the tri-force 5.3 rom. loved it, but saw that 5.4 came out. I tried downloading it and got stuck at a screen where it said it had failed. i then tried to follow the steps by reflashing the stock rom and now i am stuck at the spash screen with the red and yellow words at the top. or it pops up saying System software not authorized by samsung has been found on your phone. with yellow triangle in the middle. Anyone know what i need to get past this screen? I believe i was running an MDL prior to this if it helps. I also can still get into the download screen (power + vol down)
If you were still in mdl then just odin back to mdl and start fresh again.

which files am i going to need to do this? if you could just point me in the right direction ill be able to figure it out. I appreciate it
We need to know what firmware you were on before you installed the custom rom. If you were on MF9 or older you can download the MF9 tar file and odin it to your phone. If you were on MJA or MK2, then you need to download the MK2 tar file and odin that.

im pretty sure it was MDL. i bought the phone in early january. is their a way to check without being able to go past the splash screen?
Alright I figured it out. All i was doing wrong was not installing the firmware in odin. got my phone back up and running. Now my problem is installing triforce 5.4. loved the rom, but everytime i flash it, it gets stuck at the splash screen. any suggestions?
