Stuck on Samsung Custom Screen w/ Custom ROM

Hey,
So I flashed a custom rom on my AT&T Galaxy S IV. Everything seems to be working fine.
Until, I hold on my power menu than click on Reboot my phone. When I do that, my phone shuts down and reboots but it's always stuck in the Samsung Custom Screen. The max I have waited is 30 minutes for it to work. But it never does.
I'm running TWRP Recovery Mode.
I tried every roms in the AT&T Section. All of them seems to have that problem. I also used ktoonsez kernel. Nothing at all.
With stock AT&T rom everything seems to be fine.
I was wondering if it's happening to you guys as well. If you can try, please hold into your power button and reboot your phone clicking on reboot.
Thank you!

I have that happen sometimes, but if I go into recovery when that happens and fix permissions it boots up fine after.

make sure you flashed the correct ktoonsez kernal..one for aosp, one for touchwiz

And flash Loki Doki patch if required, although you'd probably get the 'software not compatible' error if Loki was missing.

So at first I used this [ROOT] Root Samsung Galaxy S4 with Motochopper. Same problem.
Went back to stock and used this
[ROOT[RECOVERY] Loki + TWRP + Motochopper CASUAL-R527b release:27May13. Same problem encountered.
Went back to stock and did it again using Same problem with this one as well.
It happens with every custom rom besides the stock rom and Cyanogenmod Rom. I can't even reboot to do anything .
Thanks for the help guys, I greatly appreciate it.

There is something else happening, does this happen on a backup you may have?
You do have a backup correct? It is rule #1

Yes, I do have a backup. It happens to every custom ROM that I have encountered with.
Stock & Cyanogenmod roms work fine when rebooting.
Would you mind sharing what kernel you are using? I jused used faux kernel. Same thing.

i meant more like what procedures are you using when you wipe and flash? your issue is not related to root method or a particular custom recovery.

Sorry for the confusion, I used your guide!

I have the solution.
I can bet that when you wiped your phone you didnt just factory reset on twrp you WIPED the whole partition.
So when TWRP made another one it messed up thats why it doesnt work after a reboot.
I am 1000000% sure of this.
So go back to stock then factory reset through STOCK recovery and then install rom and factory reset click the icon on the left not the one on the right that makes you type 'yes'
TWRP doesnt format the partition correctly for our phones.
and the fact that the bootloader is still locked messes things up.

I am 1000000% sure of this.
are you really sure?
j/k, perfect.

grab the last good nightly and flash it. push it to your device via your recovery and adb sideload.

well, you can always flash the factory img, if nothing else works. did you wipe data when flashing a known good nightly?

[Q] Wi-Fi on 4.4?

I recently installed the Dec.20.14 build of Kitkat 4.4. However, when my Defy booted up, from the start, the Wi-Fi said it was "turning on," and stayed like that for a couple of hours, and wouldn't turn on. Does anyone know the cause, or how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

ROM only first
Try flashing ROM only and reboot.
If Wi-Fi works then reboot to recovery and flash gapps and other zips if needed. :good:

Thanks for the advice. Without gapps, 4.4 has wifi. However, now, i cannot flash gapps, as it says "Insufficient storage in the system partition" or something like that.

core gapps

I think you used GApps Standard (~70MB), try using GApps Core (~16MB).
BaNkS GApps 4.4.2

PLZ HELP!! Nexus 6p keeps booting into TWRP menu

Today and after deciding to simply restart my Nexus 6P, it booted into TWRP menu, I tried to reboot again, but no luck. can someone please help?
is there a way to get off the TWRP menu and boot my phone normally?
Note: The root used to simply work fine for about a month now.

Did you take an update? Rom details? You basically said you stuck a fork in a microwave and it sparked.

Have you tried wiping the caches and/or data? Have you tried reflashing whatever ROM you're using? Have you tried flashing the factory images with fastboot?

I will have to call you out here buddy. If you have indeed tried to flash all factory images, you won't even have TWRP in the first place.
Go to this wonderful guide by the wonderful @Heisenberg, and scroll down to "10. How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)". You will find very clear instruction on how to return your phone to its factory stock state. This will most likely get rid of the problems you're facing.

If you had flashed the full factory images I don't see how it's possible at all to be in your current situation. Explain how you flashed them, and exactly what you flashed please.

Yes on the latest twrp. Idk what the issue is.

Would it be because I'm on 7.0? Idk if that's a thing but I would assume it wouldn't be the case.

Are you using the one for your device from here?
There are 2 variants of the SM-G928R4

Yes I'm sure I'm using the right one for my device. I have never had this issue before.

Went back to twrp 3.0.2.0 and it's fine, I guess it was just the latest release that was the issue.
