Maybe you have to flash a different pit-file first. Some updates from Samsung repartioned the system and other ROMs are not compatible with it. Please check for the size of you system. If it is any bigger that 8.9GB, you have to flash the according pit file first.

The best thing you could do right now is to reflash the rom again , and make sure your doing a full wipe , cache/dalvik/factory reset or if your using a philz recovery go ahead and choose Factory reset/Wipe to install a new rom" option or something like that.or either you can use tamirda's Superwipe from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379104. then install the rom and i hope this fix your problem. Have a nice day.

CM10.1 stuck on boot

Hi,
i've downloaded the latest nightly build from CM10.1 and installed it on my SG4 I9505 .Factory reset and cache/dalvik wipe has been done before the installation.
The Problem is that im stuck on the CM boot with the rotating logo. I've waited more then 10 minutest but nothing happend. After that, i've restored my stock image and reflashed the ROM again with factory reset cache and dalvik wipe.
Still the same problem...is there anything i can do?
Greetings Frickeladm

Hi,
It could be the recovery.
Either try a different one, or keep trying with the one you have.
Sometimes it takes more than one go.

Odin and flash stock rom

did you download the right file for the i9505?

I also was thinking about this: Where did you download CM10.1 for the i9505?
I have no problems with the 2013-06-04 build and the KToonsez Kernel!
Flash CM10.1
I would flash stock with Odin like @muhamet said.
Then get the lastest PhilZ Touch CWM from here (Thread). Flash it with the SGS4 Flasher.
Then wipe system, data and cache and flash the latest CM10.1 variant of @victorator from here (Thread).

[Q] Recovery not Booting

Hey, I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. Here's what happened: I wanted to do an update to Cyanogenmod 10.2, so I downloaded the ROM and gapps. I wiped dalvik, cache, and system and flashed the ROM. When I tried to flash the gapps Clockwork Mod said it was corrupt. No problem, turned the phone off, pulled micro usb card and put the gapps on that. The only problem is now I can't boot into recovery at all, with the Power+down option and ROM Manager crashes when I try to open it. So the problem is that I can't boot into recovery and I can't reinstall ROM Manager because I don't have gapps. Titanium Backup is also having problems and can't get root access. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is or how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
I'd Odin back to stock and start over.

How do I do that? Will I be able to since I had CyanogenMod 10.1 on before I tried to update?
Also, It would be better if I could just reflash a custom recovery, is there any way to do that?

See if you can find an odin flashable recovery. There's probably one in the development forum. Flash that.

install rom manager and download / flash latest CWM for jfltexx (international which I`m assuming is what you have) and try again
so...
1) Install 4.2, get it running
2) Root device if you haven`t rooted it
3) Download Rom manager from play store
4) Flash recovery for jfltexx (it is only listed after you press menu and view all devices / recoveries)

oke first try with phliz recovery if not than flash a official firmware with odin.
for official firmwares Here
if u want new bootloader install lastest MK or ML series
if u want to stay on old bootloader than install your own 4.2

what are the differences?
DONT ODIN FIRMWARE FLASH 4.3!!! YOU WILL UPGRADE YOUR BOOTLOADER!!! KNOX BAD!!!
Try the official CWM from ROM manager. Trust me.
Go into ODIN mode and if you see knox then you are on new bootloader.
If not, don`t flash a 4.3 image with ODIN. You will not be able to go back to 4.2 easily

4.4.1? why are you flashing incredibly old nightlies?
Also it sounds like you flashed from a very old CWM build which likely didn't set selinux contexts properly. The included Omni kernel has a recent TWRP, reflash omni and wipe using that.

Flash this file in recovery:
http://ge.tt/7mJqhvw/v/0?c
Then, reboot to recovery again and perform a full wipe (factory reset/data wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe preload). You'll find those options in various places there, so dig around. Once that is done you can flash OmniROM and Gapps
and @zachdees - you most probably didn't do a full wipe, so do those steps above and it will work for you too
can you send the omni rom file
