Hello Everyone. I flashed the 4.3 Google Edition Rom and after about a day of use it crashed. I booted into TWRP and attempted to boot into the system to find that It would say the typical 'Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 bla bla.' I then went back to TWRP and attempted to flash the backups of Stock TouchWiz via my 32gb SD Card (note my s4 is 16gb) and it would come up with failed and prompted me to wipe dalvic cache ect. Stressing out I went on to odin and flashed an Optus Carrier Stock Touchwiz Firmware. This did not work either making me still boot loop. I was however unrooted and did not have a custom recovery. And here we are now, I re-flashed root and TWRP attempting again to flash my backups and once again they fail on me.
Please. Any help would be highly appreciated. I currently have a phone with stock touchwiz (which doesnt boot), TWRP and Root flashed aswell. Thats It. Once again please. Ive checked plenty of other threads however they were all fixed some way or another.
Thanks for your Help Everyone..!:laugh:

just flash any original firmware via odin!
for example I9505XXUBMF8_I9505OXABMF8_I9505XXUBMF8
after that boot into stock recovery and wipe/delete data.
this should help.
also i wouldn't use any ge firmware until it's official released.
there are some bugs like you can't enter sim code or very heavy battery usage
good luck
if you've already tried standard ROM for i9505 and it did not helped - your bootloader was changed during the flash of Google ROM.
What do you need now: full ROM which would include bootloader, pit etc., and flash it with repartition.
P.S. ask any mod to move this thread to Q&A section, where it shall be...
DONE!
Guys, thanks for all your replies! I found a solution. I used an older version of odin and did a factory reset with the stock recovery. thx for all ur help again. I was just really stressed at the time so..! haha
Have the same problem with my Galaxy S4 Google Edition
I just bought a Google Ediion Galaxy S4 from the play store, and I followed the instructions in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341162). And my phone is screwed, it is stuck with the black screen and the Google Logo in the background. I can get into download and recovery mode, but only when I take the battery out first then reboot it in either mode. Can anyone help me please?

Go in recovery mode and clear the caches and optionaly do a data factory reset.
Please search the forums first for a solution to your problem ,there is plenty of bootloop threads.

I already did that, and it did not work, also I did search through the boot loop sections in the forum and I could not find good solutions, if any of you can direct me to a certain thread I would highly appreciate it.

Hi guys, I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 Rogers Canadian version that came with TouchWiz out of the box. When I heard that 4.3 Jellybean was out, I immediately tried looking for a guide to flash my S4. In the end, I flashed it, everything seems to be working, but I am not sure If i flashed it the right away. This isn't my main problem, just summarizing what i have done to my phone incase it might help.
So my problem is, I can't flash my phone with CyanogenMod 10.2. I went into recovery mode with CWM and I erased Data, cache and delvik cache. Install from external SD zip --> clicked the CM 10.2 Nightly file and it installs. Rebooted phone and it wouldn't boot up, samsung logo would show up but it would just turn off right after. After that i went into recovery mode and deleted the delvik cache and rebooted and to no avail, same thing happened.
So in my head, i was thinking that maybe its not working because i flashed the stock 4.3 wrong. So i downloaded a stock 4.2.2 Rogers Canadian Rom and tried doing the same procedure to install that, but this time i got an error saying (might not be the exact error, just thinking from the top of my head) " E: can't open /external_sd (bad)" I had researched this error and people were telling me it was from a corrupted file, so I downloaded another one. This time it didn't say anything, just said "Aborted (sorry somewhere along those lines i completely forgot)"
Please, please help me. I am so frustrated and confused.

You need to wipe data, system, and the caches before you flash the rom.

After you flash/install a stock fw or a custom rom, you should do a factory reset and ur bootloop will go away.

hello, i have done this also. still there
it still gets stuck at Samsung screen
bump
Well, I'm not positive about that variant but if the bootloader is locked you would need a rom or kernel with loki or you would need a custom recovery with auto-loki. If you look at the kernel you flash instead of boot.img in the zip it will be boot.lok. Not sure if this is the case for your phone but you should look into it if you haven't already.
You probably also have a bad download..please check your download rom md5 make sure they're matching ..if not re-download ..
Hi guys im a bit rusty again in all this since i rooted my S3 and HTC desire years ago ,
I have an Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (bought seperately without any provider)(EU)

I followed the exact steps as usual , rooting went fine, phone rebooted as it should , i updated SUPERSU and its binaries and installed Ericson's Busybox,. ,and everything worked as it should ,
then i put off my phone and boot in to recovery mode to flash the Philz_touch_6.26.1-klte.zip (touch recovery)
when im in my stock recovery i facepalm'd myself because i hadnt put the flashable recovery file on my internal storage yet ,
so i wanted to reboot back in the phone so i could put the file on my internal storage so id be able to flash it from stock recovery ,,..
this is where it all got strange,.
My phone stays black after Boot logo, gives me errors like ,. SYSTEM UI STOPPED ,. and so on for about everything that keep the phone running , i mean really everything STOPS , after about 15 minutes and klicking away all the Stopped msg's , it just reboots again to do the same.

Did you use the latest version of ODIN to flash the CF Root?
Think Odin3 v3.10.6 is the latest current version
If you used an old version, try flashing it again using the new one, other than that, I can only suggest trying to fix permissions in recovery if it has that option, TWRP should have it, and finally a factory reset, which is not ideal

i used Odin3-v3.07
but after flashing the root everything worked installed superSU and updated it and its binaries and installed busybox,.
it all stopped working after i went into Stock Recovery and back
id prefer not to do a factory reset Wipe,. unless i really have to to fix it ,.
im going to try reflash with the latest version then,.
i have swapped SD card to galaxy tab to put the Flashable touch recovery on the SD card, and swapped back to the phone so i could Flash the Recovery when im in stock ,.
but ill try flashing Root with latest Odin first.. thank you

the new odin is a bit less informative (to me as beginner)
i managed to use AP to flash the root again
all goes fine , it reboots
and its now upgrading android as it says and opening app's
then Black screen again,. i klick a button,. and it shows me again all the STOPPED msg's of all internal apps that are crashing,. litterally all apps,
what can i do ?
If clearing cache didn't work, fixing permissions in recovery didn't work, only thing left I can think of is factory reset

i cant fix persmission in stock recovery and flashing the philz touch recovery didnt work something about not verify signature,.
al i can do i guess is wipe data factory reset ,.but im affraid it wont fix anything
Try TWRP recovery instead
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/229
No reason a factory reset won't fix things, worst comes to worst, flash the whole ROM again from ODIN, that will fix everything as it wipes and reinstalls the lot
Grab a stock ROM from sammobile
Thank you for all your replys mate..
I managed to get it working again by doing a factory reset in stock recovery after I flashed root with latest odin
Even tho it was my last resort there was nothing else I guess .
I'm not sure tho if this will happen again when I go back to recovery like I did when this all happend the first time while I actually want to flash a more advanced recovery then stock recovery ..
But I'll take my chances and just leave it as it is
Again thank you for your help and suggestions .

Pleased you got it working again, I would say if you think you might want to flash another advanced recovery in the future, it might be best to do that now since you have already factory reset the phone, that way if this happens again, you don't lose months of data and settings and files that you have gathered between now and whenever you decide to flash recovery

i have actually ,. i installed the TWRP u mentioned,. by taking there app from the Playstore,. and flashed the new recovery, within android and without rebooting (just in case)
im used to the old CWM thats why i first wanted the Touch recovery as its based on it,
but always open for trying new things
Thank you
Good stuff
Id say the whole entering recovery / apps crashing thing was a problem with the ODIN version you used to root, too old for Lollipop is my guess, so I wouldn't worry about entering recovery again.
just finish using cf auto root
install (CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.tar) for my n900t tmobile
flash (twrp-3.0.2-0) using Odin3-v3.10.6
went into twrp recovery and wipe Dalvik/cache, system, data,internal storage, also i format data and didn't do a back up.
I went and try to install a custom rom zip file, click on it, swipe to flash, took less than 10 second and the screen went back to the logo samsung galaxy note 3 and stuck before, it never show or appear to have successfully install the custom rom, HELP please
What went wrong?

You are probably trying to flash a custom rom that uses Aroma Installer.
If so, use TWRP v2.8.7 coz v3.0.2 can't handle Aroma (known bug).
The Note 3 from AT&T is the 900a. The T-mobile is 900t.
T-mobile forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-tmobile
Boot into download mode and confirm the model #.
