[Q] What is up with my GS4? Flashing issues - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

My GS4 is pissing me off for the last two days. I'm on the task650 4.3 rom. I rebooted and it's stuck at the Samsung Custom screen. I tried booting into TWRP recovery and cleared cache/dalvik/fixed permissions, and rebooted. Still stuck at that screen. Tried reinstalling the ROM.zip file. Nope. Now I can't even get into TWRP. Its stuck at the blue screen.
So basically I'm stuck at either the blue team win screen or the black samsung custom screen. What am I doing wrong?
is there any 4.3 stock TW rooted rom out there I can flash? I'm fed up with all this
Also, what's the best way to switch recoveries from TWRP to CWM? Can I just odin the file off their website for the AT&T variant? No?

Virgin Mobile S4 stuck on boot Logo HELP

I'm not sure why i can't get it working but i was flashing back to stock rom. I have the correct rom and everything flashes fine on odin. I am unable to reboot to recovery. it says its loading and goes to black screen, and tries to boot to OS again. I tried flashing twrp with odin and same thing. I flashed the stock rom multiple times and it just won't boot. I even used Kies to flash it to stock rom and it was successful however stuck at boot logo again. The one thing i didnt do was wipe data/cache etc before flashing to stock rom but every tutorial i seen doesnt state to do it before the flash anyway. Has anyone ran into this problem before?
How are you able to get into download mode to flash rom but not be able to go into recovery? I had this issue once with my note 2 and went into recovery and wiped data and rebooted successfully....

[Q] Hung up on Samsung Galaxy boot screen after CM10 flash

Here's the rundown on my phone right now.
I'm rooted on 4.2.2. I have TWRP v2.6.0.0 installed.
Whenever I try to flash a ROM, I always get caught on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot screen.
Whenever this happens, I usually just revert to my backup. I have also tried going back to stock and rerooting and then installing the recovery again and then flashing CM10. I always get stuck on the same screen.
Any help with this?

Use a different recovery version of twrp. The newer ones been buggy. Use the 2.5.0.2 version

I bricked my recovery, any ideas?

I have a problem that i need help with.
I have an i337 that originally came with the MDL firmware. I rooted with casual and had TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed. Ive flashed many roms, and currently using Beanstalk 4.4 with the KT-AOSP kernel.
I wanted to try PhilZ recovery, so I flashed it from TWRP like the instructions said. I dont know if its because i am so used to doing it with ROMS, but i think I flashed Loki-doki.zip too. When I tried to boot into recovery, i got the dreaded yellow triangle.
I rebooted into download mode and hit volume down to get back to beanstalk, and i tried to flash TWRP from GOOManager. I'm still getting the yellow triangle.
Here is the biggest problem - My little computer has such a small screen that ODIN doesnt show all of the buttons. Is there any way I can get my recovery back?
Thanks in advance.

Can't install Custom Recovery

I have a Canadian galaxy note 3 currently with Telus. I had it rooted with a custom rom once before but then Un rooted it and put it back to the stock rom that I got off sammobile.com. The problem is that I rooted it again and every time I try to install a custom recovery nothing will work. I've tried through Odin, goo manager, rom manager... but every time I boot into recovery it loads the stock recovery. The stock recovery also has the tipped over android with the red triangle. Please help! I love custom roms to much to give up on this

Did you uncheck auto reboot in odin before you flashed? After the flash pull the battery and reinsert it after 5 seconds. Hold volume up + menu + power and you should get in to the custom recovery.

I have tried that but when it starts to boot the recovery it gets stuck in a loop where it vibrates, shows the words recovery booting and then the screen goes black and it repeats over and over.

I had anthem ioap rom before but now I am just running the stock samsung firmware. I've tried to install cwm and twrp but it is not working. I don't get stuck in the recovery booting loop anymore though. Instead Odin gets stuck on the recovery.img process.

[Q] Dev Note 3: won't boot - stuck at splash

Hey all,
I have a Dev edition and I recently updated it to the NC2 leak and used the lean kernel. It was working ok, but I had at least one lockup/reboot a day. So today I decided I wanted to try the new 4.4-based Hyperdrive ROM.
I replaced Philz recovery with TWRP 2.7 and then booted into it. I wiped the device, and then flashed the first of the two files that are a part of Hashcode's kernel (as I saw it seems to be more stable). I then flashed the Hyperdrive ROM, and the second file (fix) from Hashcode. I then tried to boot.
It gets stuck on the Note 3 Splash screen with the custom unlocked padlock icon, but will not load up. It isn't in a bootloop, I just sits there.
I went back into recovery, wiped, and tried again. Nothing. Same problem.
What am I missing? How can I fix this?
Thanks!
-Rob
