Sounds like you were trying to revert back to stock. I assume the stuff you are talking about is yellow. If so try to use odin again.
The obvious question to me is, did you try Odin again after it failed? Logic would suggest that if Odin failed I'd have to do it again.

This as well as learning to use Google instead of posting a thread on a forum.
It is because of your tar file on odin.it was two small.try re odin ing it with a tar file of 255 mb or something like that.happened to me before too when I was a super noob but fear not you'll eventually become less of a noob too as time passes

So we are supposed to write out a detailed explanation to each one of these duplicate threads? I think not. This forum is out of control with this kind of ****. Oh, and talking about being helpful, it's reassuring to see that out of your 321 posts you have been thanked exactly zero times.

Using google first saves you time because its an immediate response, it saves everyone else time having to an a simple question, and it saves our forums from being cluttered. I said nothing rude and I would have answered his question had it not already been answered (which I highlighted with my quote and saying "this"). If you want to respond to my adult advice and response by acting childish, that is your prerogative but I will continue to post help to those who made an effort to get it.
thats i guess meh cool but a simple reply/explaination would have been "flash odin again" instead of repeating the long rant over and over again too. maybe its jus best to leave this place altogether

Maybe before voiding your warranty and messing with your $500 phone you should do some research and be prepared for the plethora of things that can go wrong.

I believe his point was, however, that before one starts an endeavor that can break a piece of $500 hardware one should generally make sure they understand all of the possible outcomes and how to deal with them which he pointed out that you didn't. He could have said it in a more polite manner but he was correct.
I have ben to this screen when my odin got interupted. Pull the battery for a couple minutes. Hold down the one key on the keyboard and then power on while holding it. This puts you in download mode. Odin back to stock.

It appears I have one thanks or maybe I cant count. More than likely since I dont cry about wanting thanks that could be it. The purpose of a forum is to get help. Regardless if the answer could be found on google the forum would not need to exist. I am on one forum and it is the most mature forum there is. I see question repeated over and over again. Even in this case people still answer it like it was asked the first time. If all forums were like that, forums would be a much better place.

LOL what'd you do, pm someone and ask them to thank you? You def had zero when I posted that. You're right, forums are here for help. It is however a two way street. It seems clear that you think it's one way though. You are clearly here to be helped and not TO help.

I do not understand why it is difficult to simply search for an answer. If you cannot find the answer, then post and people will help. As I've stated I do very often provide detailed explanations to people even to those who had not searched for the answer however I always add that in the future they should seek out the answer on their own first. His question had been answered and as such I stated that he should try and figure things out on his own. I have never begged for a "Thanks" and I could care less about them but I have spent hours of my time helping others fix issues and there are many people who can attest to that. Leatherneck has done the same, in fact he has even helped me a few times that I can think of in recent history. On the other hand, the only posts I've seen from you are complaints about other users or asking other users for help. The point of these forums is to allow a place for developers to gather and together fix and hack away at new phones and such, not to aid in every little personal disaster. That is why it is a FORUM RULE to search. A rule for which violators can receive infringements or even bans. By telling people to search, I am not telling them to shut up I am showing people how to be an active member of this community and if you cannot grasp that then your place here is very limited.

Alot of people are asking how to flash cyanogenmod and/or complaining about not havig google apps. So here we go.
If you want ext4, get cwm3, it is alot simpler that way.
1)download the rom, kernal for the file system you have and gapps and put them on the root of your sd card
2)boot into cwm
3)wipe data/factory reset 3 times, wipe cache 3 times and finaly go to advanced and wipe dalvik 3 times
4) go to install zip from sd and choose the rom, not the kernal or gapps
5)choose install another zip and choose the kernal (your screen may flash)
6)choose install another zip and choose gapps
7 )reboot (may take a while on first boot. Five minutes max.)

Yes, just what we needed, a vague tutorial with awful grammar.
EDIT Well, without bumping the thread: amazing I got jumped on for this. There's a difference between "being a ****" and commenting on obvious facts.
OP clearly wanted to make a tutorial for installing Cyanogenmod... but doesn't care enough to use the shift key, format the text, or explain the steps. Most of the confusion comes from not knowing how to execute these broad individual steps, so why not clarify them?
I was only less than nice when posting because I felt like the first is not much different than the other threads. It is not the result of hard work, but looks more like a slapped-down response by someone tired of explaining the same thing over and over.
I could have been clearer, but don't regret what I said. If this minimal effort justified a whole thread (especially if it's to be stickied) there would be 1000 halfassed tutorials covering the first few pages by now. I appreciate the intent of OP, but the result shows he doesn't really care.
It's weird, because I'm not one of the "should have searched instead of making a new topic" hater... but seeing a new thread that aims to deliver without taking the time to do it right did bother me.

Sorry but our 4g is a bit different than the Evo, and is going to take some time to work out. Some of the best where working on the Evo to make it work and it took almost 5 months to get it semi solid and with 2.2 we can only hope for the best with 4g with Cyanogen.

well i'm in big trouble it looks like, i followed this video into a huge mess where now my phone won't load past the white AT&T screen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H_gBP5Dd_8
phone was rooted fine, DLed goomanager, followed the instructions and then in the recovery screen i chose "power off" thinking i could just turn it back on
WRONG
I followed it perfectly up to 3:00, and then i chose the reboot/power off options. And bricked.....not really sure how that happened, but help would be greatly appreciated.
Odin it back to stock follow these step.

Simple don't follow a bloody video. Read and learn about what your doing before you do it. Most videos are out dated and don't give you the needed info incase something goes wrong.
Also a heads up. Asking for help fast does no good as this is not a support forum.

That was a little harsh.
Video's are IMO, a good idea. If you don't know what you're doing, then follow instructions. So, the OP did good IMO.
That video is only a couple weeks old and is for the Galaxy S4.
I didn't watch it (no sound card) but it doesn't matter now.
OP, what does happen when you press the volume up + power + home button to get into the recovery?
Did you try pulling the battery for 30+ seconds yet?
You should not be seeing a white AT&T screen at any time. You should be booting into recovery, where you will then flash a new ROM.
Well, I mean it shouldn't have killed your current ROM. But that could be a separate issue.
If you can get into recovery, then just toss a ROM onto your external SD card if you have one.
If not, then use ADB push to push a ROM onto your internal SD where you can then flash it.
Or, Odin back to stock.

Telling people to read in this forum is futile. It only gets you called names like do*che and d*ck. Kenny knows, he had to clean up a response to my post telling someone they needed to do some reading. It's sickening how lazy people are these days. But it's the truth. You won't learn anything by being spoon fed the info. Sometimes the best answer to give someone is to just read. This isn't a support center. It's a development forum. People need to learn the basics on their own. Zelendel said it best in his legendary post. And if I could find it right now I would link to it.
And if you're gonna follow a video, try one that was made by someone like AdamOutler, not some rando with a random website.

Yesterday I updated to 4.4.4 (root still works, SuperSU survival enabled)
The problem is that Xposed Mod doesn't work anymore. It looks like write protection reenabled after update (checked it via PC and adb shell command)
Is there a way to fix that?

The write protection? Not at this time, unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Perhaps someone will come up with an exploit that will turn write protection off on 4.4.4, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I have an unlocked Developer Edition on 4.4.4 with root and WP off, but on my day-to-day Maxx, I'm still at 4.4 with root and WP off and I've frozen MotorolaOTA and Updater to prevent any OTA's from sneaking in.

I'm in the same situation. If you install/update xposed, then cancel the reboot and choose soft reboot, xposed will work. It took several attempts the first time for it to take, but eventually did. The down side is every time your phone shuts off or reboots, you have to reinstall and soft boot. Also, and this may be only me, but about one a day every app crashes at once and forces me to reboot and reinstall xposed. I'm assuming it's because of the framework not being properly written to the system. It's a pain in the butt, but xposed is worth it to me, so I've been dealing with it. Good luck

Beating people down because they asked a question that was already answered on page 45 of 79 in another thread is just as lazy as them not looking for the answer to begin with.

Rule number 1 of the forum rules sticky is "search before posting". It is very appropriate to call someone out when they blatantly disregard those rules.

Hey if you would rather have "devs" bashing people for asking questions than people simply answering questions or ignoring duplicate questions, so be it.
I restored my device from a backup I had and now when I put in my pattern it says wrong pattern... Do I have any options besides restoring (which would suckkk)
I've read around that if you restore your back up with an existing PIN/PW, it will cause your phone to be locked out permanently. So you have to restart all over again. I'm not sure if it's been fixed.
Yeah it seems to be a known issue. You have to remove your PIN/PW before backing up.
It's a stickied thread people http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3245070

Or that, but its better to just start over sometimes. I made this mistake before it was a stickied OP (right after TWRP was released for the 6P), and I started over just fine.

It was actually a blessing in disguise. The main reason I was restoring was after I messed with some things to fix my battery draining issues. After the restore my battery issues are gone. very annoying and I lost a lot of sleep over it but it was a good thing . Thanks everyone

That's good to hear, I like to start fresh sometimes because change can be a good thing.
