I flashed a Kit Kat rom, and before I was having problems with recovery. Now I'm having problems flashing a new ROM. Every time I try to flash a different rom, it says it flashes but it just goes back to the 4.4 rom I flashed first. I can restore a backup just fine, but even from the backup it does the same thing.

My MAC address keeps changing after reboot, and wifi is screwy no matter what I do. Full Wipe, factory reset, Factory image restore. Its seems the 4.4 roms change things that cant be undone. I now have to have my phone replaced.
Gah. I'd rather not have to have my phone replaced. I feel as if its just 4.4 ROMs though.

Try reflasing your recovery. If that doesn't work, then flash the 4.3 factory images.

I'm on the latest CWM touch, I believe 6.0.4.3. I haven't actually tried going from the 4.4 rom to a 4.3, but I know I can't go from 4.4 to a different 4.4 rom, or from 4.3 rom to a different 4.4 rom, it just goes to the first one I flashed.

GooManager is telling me that there is no recovery available for my device. That's odd.
If all else fails, download the stock 4.3 image and fastboot flash it, then try whatever other ROM you wanted.

The only other thing you might try now is flashing any 4.3 or 4.2.2 ROM, reboot, and see if it's now on that one or still on 4.4...
Or is that what you already did with PAC?
You can also manually format /system then /data from TWRP or CWM then manually flash your new ROM.

That's what I did. I went from 4.4 to PAC, and it booted into PAC. Same with CM 10.2. It seems to just be happening with 4.4 roms.

I just wiped /system and /data, and now the 4.4 PA fails to flash, but CM 10.2 flashed. I'm gonna switch to CWM to see if it'll flash there.
UPDATE: CWM would NOT let me go back to the previous option when asking me to reflash recovery when booting, and it didn't flash PA, so now I'm stuck on the first 4.4 build with no GApps until 9 or 10 tonight. First thing I'm doing when I get home is flashing the factory image.

I've been searching for the stock kernal for at&t users for s bit now, can't find it I'm trying to fix the annoying "updating camera firmware,please wait..." message. Unless there's a better way, I'll just assume you have to flash the sock kernal to update it. But if you flash the sock Kernal, wouldn't the phone fail on boot?

No, I'm running Wanamlite v1.0.
I just reinstalled the stock AT&T rom to allow the camera to update, but when I ran the camera, no update appeared. So I figured it was all set. After re-rooting, I re-installed Wanamlite and KT kernal, open up the camera, and sure enough the message re-appears. I didn't perform any wipes. But it looks like I'll have to because all the AT&T bloatware was re-installed again.

Your mistake was reinstalling Wanamlite again. Here's how you install non AT&T ROMs
1. Root your phone. I used the one click TWRP and Loki method.
2. Factory Reset and install custom ROM.
3. Install AT&T kernel. Let it boot up. Open Camera.
4. Reboot to recovery. Install custom kernel. Wipe cache and Dalvik. Fix Permissions.
5. Reboot. All done.

Thanks, you're right about my mistake lol I ended up just installing someone else's ROM and it works perfectly. I'm a bit lost reading your instructions, It was my understanding that custom ROM's would not load with stock kernel?

Exactly, its nice he can recommend installing a stock kernel, but they are not to be found. I asked in another thread and didn't get an answer. I somehow got it to work just wiping and installing Omega 5.0 Then to get wifi to work I installed ktoonez kernel.

okay, assuming you're using the AT&T variant, I did this:
I got the looping "installing camera firmware" and tried faux an ktoonsez with no luck
I flashed this tmobile stock kernel and the camera firmware updated successfully by going into the camera app.
I then just flashed faux kernel back and everything worked great.

I use shabbypenguin's auto loki CWM recovery, but you'll have to definitely flash the loki patch after the tmo kernel to make this work.

Not everything is 4.2 Stock I'm using Frank- kernel not the Stock one
don't have the stock one anyone more
also I am updated Sound to beats Auto Mod
Checked the boot Video to a Custom one .
Okay FIxed using N-Cry tool kit it will wipe everything so back up before hand
seriously? flashing stock 4.3 over stock 4.2.2 but with some mods will not work?
I understood it was possible but flashing instead doing OTA. is it true?
This is one of the reasons why I stay unrooted as I get OTA updates without hassle and without losing any data. No need to flash or backup anything.
No risk of bricking the phone.

you have made alterations to your phone so its not longer stock. the file you are flashing is for a stock rom and to be flashed in a stock recovery. to flash the update simply re-flash a stock recovery and allow the update to go through. you can also simply wait and flash an updated custom stock rom.
Edit: link deleted....may confuse you
Edit2: Using the toolkits you should be able to find the stock recovery image and flash it back

Did you do a full-wipe? If not, that's where I would start. If you did a full wipe, I would then clear cache. Also,could be a bad flash or download.

Were you using official KitKat? Maybe you'll have to flash 4.3 factory images. Just don't flash user data or recovery. You can boot to TWRP and wipe. Them you don't lose everything on your phone.

Yes I was on official fact. image KK. I am now trying to flash 4.3 stock and unroot. Then root again. Maybe that helps.
KK radio/boot doesn't play nice with 4.3. I think you could've flashed an older radio and go 4.3.

Hi,
Yesterday I went to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy s4 (GT19505) and it wouldn't work. The first time, it started then went to a black screen. I turned my phone back on to find it wouldn't boot up at all (I waited over 10 minutes for it). I can access recovery mode, and when I did it again, it said md5 couldn't be found.
I used Odin to flash the most recent CT auto root and then moved over TWRP (with Odin) and I had no trouble with these.
I accidentally moved TWRP 2.5 over instead of 2.7. I was running 4.4 KitKat on my phone. Could it be 2.7 isn't compatible with CM 11?
Help!?
It should just work.
Flash the latest TWRP or Philz.
Perform a full wipe.
Flash Cyanogenmod.
What version are you trying to flash from Cyanogenmod? Use the nightlys and if one doesn't work try the version before that one.
ps you can skip the step nexttime about flashing cf-auto root. You don't have to do this. You can just flash the recovery you want.

You should only flash a rom for YOUR model phone, and for me the nightlies were stable enough to use.
