S4 stuck on boot screen, can't go into recovery mode - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, i have the Galaxy S4 i9505 and last night rooted it with Odin 3.07 and placed CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5. I then decided to flash on a ROM so put on WanamLite. All worked fine. Today i wanted a new custom ROM so downloaded PACMAN AIO Nightlies. I went into recovery mode, wiped all data, cache, dalvik cache and then went into install zip from sdcard and chose the zip file. It seemed to be installing and since then has been stuck on the Samsung boot screen. I have tried to get back into recovery mode but it won't get into it. I managed to now get into recovery mode but it isn't Clockwork Mod Recovery any longer it is the Android one. I went into this, wiped everything and tried to boot but it still remains stuck on the samsung boot screen. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
NOW i went into download mode, used odin to flash the clockwork recovery mod into my phone, now i can get into clockwork recovery mode, but i cant flash on any roms they keep failing and my phone wont boot, please please help me

Virgin Mobile S4 stuck on boot Logo HELP

I'm not sure why i can't get it working but i was flashing back to stock rom. I have the correct rom and everything flashes fine on odin. I am unable to reboot to recovery. it says its loading and goes to black screen, and tries to boot to OS again. I tried flashing twrp with odin and same thing. I flashed the stock rom multiple times and it just won't boot. I even used Kies to flash it to stock rom and it was successful however stuck at boot logo again. The one thing i didnt do was wipe data/cache etc before flashing to stock rom but every tutorial i seen doesnt state to do it before the flash anyway. Has anyone ran into this problem before?
How are you able to get into download mode to flash rom but not be able to go into recovery? I had this issue once with my note 2 and went into recovery and wiped data and rebooted successfully....

Can't install custom recovery

Hey ,
Had some problems with stock so trying to get a custom recovery and root so I can go back to Cyanogenmod. I'm on android 4.3, and I'm not rooted.
I've downloaded followed the instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531965) but cannot get it to work.
Flashing the recovery in PDA/Odin said completed, but when it restarted it went straight to the normal boot screen. Putting it into recovery showed the stock recovery.
I tried again, telling it not to autoreboot, but when I rebooted it still went to the main system, and putting it into recovery gave the android stock recovery again! Hmm!
EDIT: Solved by flashing, and rebooting straight to recovery with the key combination.

i9505 always booting into recovery/download mode

I downloaded Imperium ROM from a thread on xda and installed it. I wiped data, wiped cache and dalvik and installed zip. Then I rebooted and it showed a downloading screen, after a little bit of research it's called download mode or ODIN mode. Now what's happening is whenever I try to reboot, it shows the S4 i9505 screen (i think it's called a splash screen, thats what someone called it) and freezes. After about 10-15 seconds, reboots into recovery. I've got CWM installed and I've ran out of ideas. The volume buttons are not being touched and for some reason recovery and download mode are always being booted into, never the OS.
I'm also new so anything I've done wrong, I'd love to know.
CWM recovery is outdated and should not be used anymore. Instead only use TWRP. Flash it trough Odin in the same way you flashed CWM.
You say that you only wiped data, cache and dalvik. You also HAVE to wipe /system. Otherwise the rom will probably not boot.

Update I tried to install albe95's s6 port. I've noticed something and it's that both ended up with Statuc 7 or some word that started with "S" and had the number 7. Googled that and turns out it's bad. I formatted /System and installed the ROM, it worked!
I guess there was just no OS to boot into. Going to try installing Imperium now.
Status 7 errors can occur if the recovery is outdated. What recovery is on the phone?

[TWRP] [G900H] Recovery Flash Successful, But Still At Stock Android Recovery

Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy S5 G900H, I updated it to stock Samsung Android 6.0.1. Now I want to root it. AS I've read in some of the other threads that flashing TWRPand then the latest SuperSU works. I went ahead and flashed TWRP using ODIN. Odin was successful and my phone rebooted and phone is working fine. But when I try to go into recovery, stock Android recovery pops up. I wonder why?? Can anyone point me out?
try this recovery you will be solved...

Use twrp 3.0 by fevax i was had same problen but when u flash it reboot to recovery then to systen
I flashed this same recovery earlier. It is not working for me.
It's the same one I flashed earlier. Not working for me. Should I try to reflash the stock firmware and try again??
"flash it reboot to recovery then to system" Important point. This worked. Instead of rebooting directly after flashing. I flashed recovery, then removed battery to turn device off. Then rebooted into recovery. It WORKED.
I think rebooting into system first rewrites TWRP with stock recovery.

Phone stuck at boot animation.

I have a rooted Lenovo A6000 Plus.
Today, I was trying to install custom TWRP recovery, after which I planned to install XPOSED framework.
I installed the framework(used ADB). My device went into TWRP recovery.
I rebooted the device, but was unable to go into TWRP again.
So I flashed the recovery again. Again, my device went into TWRP recovery, but this time, it auto-installed XPOSED. After reinstallation, my device showed the Lenovo logo, after which the screen went black. I removed the battery to switch it back. But again, the Lenovo logo appeared, after which the screen went black. After a few times, I just let my phone sit at the black screen. L8r the boot animation appeared (I had a custom one installed).
Now my phone is just stuck at the animation.
P.S. I have tried removing the battery and rebooting many times.
PLEASE HELP URGENTLY!
@adityapathak343, the XPOSED package also comes with a Uninstaller zip, which you would've found on the same page. Just flash that zip with TWRP, and if the phone still doesn't boot then wipe the cache and dalvik partition through TWRP only.
