So I have a T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s4, and I recently rooted using Odin and then I flashed the PAC ROM (BTW I have CWM). But the problem is, sometimes when I turn my phone on , it gets stuck in a bootloop. I then have to go into CWM and clear the dalvik cache,reboot, and then it will work. And I don't think I have messed up while installing because I have previous experience in rooting and flashing. I would appreciate it if anyone had a fix to this, thanks.

hi guys i have a Galaxy S4 i9505 from O2, UK. Recently I have tried to change the rom then i got the phone rooted and installed CWM recovery ,after that i have tried variuos google edition Roms but non of them are working and they get stuck on the boot screen .i was wondering did i miss something or is related to my phone which is locked to O2 carrier ?but phone works properly on other TW roms. sorry to bother u guys but i have searched a lot which was pointless ,thanks
hey first of all the CWM recovery seems to be very buggy so u should use the Phliz Recovery. And another question: did u made a full wipe before u flashed the Rom? when not flash the Rom again with a full wipe
Hi all
I desperately need help i have no idea what to do anymore. Yes i tried to root and rom my phone and i messed up now i cant get it back to just normal functionality.
I downloaded a custom rom and installed twrp 2.6 recover. I flashed a rom and when i started it i only noticed that it was for a Galaxy s2. I could not get out of the setup so it ran and failed. After that i have had the problem that the phone boots fine and goes into any app and has full
functionality until i set it down and the phone locks itself, then the lag is so huge i have to restart my phone to get anything done.
I have tried flashing the correct Omega v13 rom and does the same. Also dit the same with the backup that i made with TWRP before i did the first flash.
Also i tried to get it back to the stock firmware using the following guides.

How to Unroot and Restore Official Stock Firmware for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & GT-I9505 | WhatsWithTech.
I have flashed it and done every step correctly but when it boots the first time the whole touch screen doesnt react only the return and home keys work on first startup. If i restart the phone at this point (Just flashed stock firmware re partition with PIT file and new stock kernel) i can complete it but the same problem persists
Please tell me someone can help me fix this screwup.
I have a GT- I9500 Octacore international with Jellybean 4.2.2

Good luck with the problem(s) you're having, however.
Hey people of XDA,
It's my first time posting so forgive me if its a repeat or dumb question but here goes my story :
I bought a used S4 that was rooted + aws enabled. It was working fine until one day it got stuck on the Samsung logo during boot. I tried clearing cache and factory resetting from the recovery but that didnt work. So I proceeded to reverting the phone to the stock rom with odin, which I got from Android rootz ( Google telus s4 stock rom, its the first link ).
So that worked, the phone booted its 4.2.2 but , no Wifi and no sound no AWS. My question are :
- Why arent the wifi and sound working if it was stock ?
- can I root my S4 following the steps in this thread : (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 ) ?
- does it matter which version of Android im on ? for instance, I was thinking about installing the stock kikat for telus before rooting ?
- Does it matter if i use odin 1.85 vs newer versions
THANKSSS

1. I would install 4.4.2
2. If it wont work with odin1.85 use the 3.09 version
3. Install philz touch recovery and select "clean to install a new rom" so everything will be cleaned and the wifi should work fine after flash with odin
4. root it with www.towelroot.com
5. I hope I answered all your questions
Hey,
I really appreciate your help...i just started all this stuff yesterday so lm going to look into philz touch recovery. Also I think I know how to root using odin so im just going to do that once my phone starts working ( unless that doesnt work on 4.4.2 ? )
However, Right now can i just use odin to add in kit kat stock rom for telus ( or any other stock rom for that matter - maybe the one i used was bad )? I honestly want to worry about rooting and AWS after getting the phone fully functional
Thanks again i really appreciate your help
After installing the wrong rom, my phone was bricked so i went into download mode to install a fresh os using odin. I managed to install the new os however the wifi, audio, data, mic wont work anymore i dont know how to fix this
@Joku1981 he can probably help you. He will ask you for some screenshots
