Hello,
I installed chainfire 3D ( Yes I know I should have read that jelly bean was no compatible) and am now stuck on the boot screen of my phone. I have got the factory hard reset menu up but don't know what to do apart from that. I have checked on other threads and they are all really confusing for a person that is new to android. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also can I just permanently erase user data or will this brick my phone?

No worries any help at this moment is appreciated haha. I just downloaded the stock rom and yep im in the recovery bootup thanks to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUwi4YZWbyk
Once I download the stock rom what how do I install it. I don't mind deleting all the stuff of my phone I just want it to work.
If you had cwm you can use adb to remove the .apk via recovery.. twrp even made it easier by having a file explorer inside the recovery..
But if you haven't installed them both i'm afraid you're out of luck..

Recovering your phone at this point wont help you at all my friend :/ you have officially bricked your phone sadly this is beyond my level of expertise in the smartphone world i would take it to a local rooting/roming buisiness on craigslist or i think cricket will do it... call them up and let them know your problem detail for detail they will probobly tell you you soft bricked your phone there is a slight chance they may be able to fix it for 15-50 dollars depending on how bad it is
Can you still get into TWRP or CWM recovery?
If so then you can probably still use an adb interface to push a ROM.zip file to your phone to flash. If you cant then Im not sure how you would go about fixing because we do not have an unlocked bootloader so I do not think you will be able to use fastboot commands to flash a ROM. Maybe someone more knowledgable in this can help you out better than I.
same thing with me
Dude the same thing had happened to me on my gionee p3 and i tried everything but u have to just take it to the service centre and i got mine done for free as i had a warranty but if u dont u will have to pay and also this happens when u download **** things that take the main startup programs of ur phone
.....so best of luck

ok so i just installed the JIT update on top of the Lightningbolt ROM and now i cannot do anything it is stuck on the android on skateboards picture, but it is responding adb commands and recovery is working. is there anything i should to fix this. should i just put a old nandroid update back on my phone and flash that?

Go back to your NAND. DOesnt sound like you are bricked. Bricked is not being able to turn it back on.
ok thanks i will try that right now
rebooting..... (please work!!!!) (i really need my phone in the next few days)
HOLLY SHI it is actually booting the IC3 ROM right now !!!! thank you guys so much it just booted to the home screen!!! thanks for you help!
good news, btw just to let you know Ic3Rom has issues with JIT dont try to install it or you will most likely get a endless reboot cycle and have to nand restore again.

lol, didnt do anything. just rem, always nand before trying to flash anything. for reasons like this.
But thank you.
if you can get into your recovery..its not bricked...
honestly, its damn near impossible to brick your phone with the instructions that all devs provide...+ youtube videos make it even easier..

Just to let you know the LightningBolt rom already has JIT enabled so no need to flash an update on it.
so a buddy of mine rooted his wifes eris, and sorta messed up the root, he can get to clockwork mod and all, BUT any rom he tries to flash will say error at line 9 or line 6 not enough space on device, aborting operation....
he also failed to make an nand back up so basically we are stuck in clockwork
someone help! how do we either fix this to flash a rom or unroot/return to stock this device??
we have tryed the RUU method but it doesnt reconize the drvice because we are in clock work
and we have try the pbm img but s=on so were locked out
If s=on then i dont think he got root

That sounds like the type of stuff i would get. that or a push file via adb thing. It doesn't sound like a clockwork bricking. The problem with CWM is that it doesn't have the verification step that amon-ra does. Are you flashing roms from these forums? I trust the devs here, but I don't think I would flash a rom that isn't from here w/o a recommendation from one of the devs. I would plug the phone in and let it go for a bit and try again after it has a charge.

yes we can power on we can use cwm mod hell we can place a pbmimg on the sd card, it just wont read it because s=on at the time
in doing a massive google search
any chance this would work
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/37717-unroot-unbrick-using-sbf-post-ikithme.html
if not anyone got any ideas?
3 more questions
a: is there a way to get s=off without android loaded, between just the bootloader and cwm avalible? this way we can hopefully just use the pbmimg
B: is there a way to replace cwm with amon ra in this current state to use flashback21? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
and this is a really crazy thought but can we take the backup we created tonight from his eris... both phones are EXACTLY alike, purchased at the same time and all...and use it to flash in cwm to recover the dead phone?
there is way to flash S=OFF through recovery. Flash the file from here..
In order to use a nandroid from a different phone you need to change a few things to make it work. I read it somewhere. If I find it ill let ya know

This is only supposed to work if you have bootloader version 1.49. If you're lucky like me and have 1.47 it won't work. That's according to bftbo. He's tried both.

any way to roll back the bootloader as he mentioned in the event that he has 1.49?
and this is a really stupid question , but im so brain fryed... how do we check his bootloader version?
Hello ladies and gents,
So I'm a total noob and I think I bricked my phone.
I got root by using the motochopper tool
then I went for custom recovery, but I think I flashed the verizon version instead of the ATT version (I was trying to install the Google Wallet fix with a custom rom)
Rebooted the phone, I get an unlock symbol and samsung custom
I can boot into recovery mode and I still have root access / command line.
The phone either boots to black screen with a oscillating blue light or if I go into the other mode it says 'downloading'
Anything I can do to get my phone back working? Did I totally brick it?
Yes, if you see anything on the screen, that would be a soft brick, you are getting the unauthorized screen, then you need another kernel for sure, lets start there...
You really should either put your device in your information screen or tell us what type of device you have, that is very important.
I can not tell you what kernel, not knowing what device has the problem.
I see you mentioned att, is it US or Canadian version?
These are a must when you are seeking help.
I have the AT&T US Version of the S4, 1337
And now it seems I've made it worse, I reinstalled a new Rom, now I can't boot into recovery at all. It goes blank after the Samsung custom screen. Still can ADB into it though.

Do you have any type backup? Have you tried, power off phone. hold down power button and volume up at same time, when it vibrates, let go of the power button, it should go into recovery, and lets try restoring your backup.
Your problem is you have the wrong kernel loading, flash a ATT kernel once in the recovery, it will boot.

Just ODIN flash the stock firmware for ATT I337 and re-root? That's what I would try.

I misread your issue. I thought you said you rooted it and had issues. I have no idea why it would do that if you haven't even done anything to it. Devices just don't not boot unless you did something to mess it up or the device is broken. If anything try just booting into recovery and wipe cache. If that doesn't work try flashing the system.img found in the factory images using fastboot. Or flash all but userdata.img. There are tutorials around the web. But again, if you haven't rooted the device or done anything to the system files, I don't know why it's not booting. Hopefully the internals didn't go out on you.

I have never personally used this method, so I can't tell you what to do with 100% confidence. But if you can boot into the bootloader and then use fastboot to install TWRP recovery, there may be a way to pull files from your device using commands on your computer. You may have to do some research on that. Sorry I can't be more helpful. It's hard to know what's going on with your device when you haven't done anything to cause it.

Here's a link to their website for a download and instructions. But you need to have the android SDK installed. Do you have that at least?

Hi,
You can try going to stock recovery and check if you have adb access with it. Then if you have, you can just pull the files using adb pull command. If you manage to connect to adb I can provide further help.

Dude so I was scared to install TWRP backup because it wasn't for this exact phone carrier and I saw a lot of people were screwing up their phones doing the process so do you know of a process which I could get TWRP on this phone whileist not screwing it up like everyone else ?
Phone is brand new and I would have backed up and and installed debloated rom already but again with everyone having issues im kind of hesitant .
So I'm probably going to do it anyway ( my phone is my phone damn-it! ) but I need to read more throughout the forums and see exactly what's causing these issues because I do not want to brick mine and any insight you have as to what happened to yours during the process could be beneficial .
I already tried

For samsung devices, the only method to flash a recovery seems to be odin. I did not find a recovery for my variant
I ended up returning the phone anyway since there is no recovery, its best you do the same. It was a good phone for $30 though. I ended up getting super desperate, and i tried to flash all the recoveries available for this phone, none of them worked. It did not brick my phone however. If you still want to give it a try you can. If it does brick you should be able to restore using power, vol UP and home. Just wait a bit and an android recovery comes up where you can reset to factory. Im not entirely sure about this process. Best of luck to you!
