I think I've bricked my I9505. I accidentally wiped phone without putting new ROM on SD card. Now I can only go to TWRP or download mode. Also my SD Card isn't showing up on my computer, is there anything i can do?

tried a different usb port and my computer recognised it, however i could only add TWRP with odin i couldn't flash the stock rom, it says failed. It also fails when i try to flash in TWRP itself.
Its very strange that you can goto recovery or download mode but phone not complete flash....good news is you have not completey bricked your phone phone cause you can still flash and enter recovery try lastest firmware na5 is leaked but newest. ...or try custom rom...philz recovery may work....also what rom are you trying to flash
Also a screen capture of odin when you get error as well wil help...

I was trying to install Galaxy S4 stock rom, i'd been using Jamal's 4.3 Google Edition rom. I tried flashing the 4.3 rom again and that was succesful and it seems to be working..
Excellent then hopes all goes well

I understand that i must forget, having the original recovery mode restored !
I understand what your saying dude... its a seriously annoying bug that doesn't get talked about.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
From previous thread i've read, my phone is partially destroyed !
But you've said it, this one bug for which noone talks about !
not sure if you've solved this but...
my epic 4g tough is in the same mode and my pc wont detect it as a USB device
therefore i cant flash back to stock.
I learned from a tech guy at a cell shop near my house that if you put the stock tar file on an sd card and name it 'update.zip'
the phone will automatically recover using it.
Im preparing my sd card now and I'll post my results.
I don't get what if ur saying but if u can't use USB then useobile Odin to flash cf root and then u have cwm recovery

This is extremely frustrating.
I successfully rooted my galaxy s4.
I then downloaded CMW and touch, and downloaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341376
I then booted into recovery, and wiped etc and then installed the rom. I read on the later part of that page that there wasn't a need for loki so I did not download loki.
I then rebooted, and got the yellow triangle sign saying that the software is not approved by ATT.
This is where I am stuck. I have a mac and am running vmware windows 8.
I tried downloading kies on the mac, and it does not recognize the phone. I did not try kies for windows yet, nor do I know what to do after if I am able to get kies to recognize the s4.
I also downloaded odin, and the firmware, but odin is not recognizing the phone under windows even when I select to use the phone under windows.
I tried the stock usb cable, and a different usb cable, and 2 different usb ports. I do not have a regular windows computer. Is there a way to do this with a mac?
Guess I should have downloaded the loki, is not downloading the loki the whole reason this is happening?
I appreciate everyones help! I just wanted stock android! :good:
I do not have a s4 but have a s2 but its like the same.
1. Why would you not already have Odin installed and kies?! Just in case
2. No backup made?...
3. Can you still get into recovery and download mode if so then you have hope.. wait for someone to give you steps to get out of this
4. If you can't get into either... well :banghead:

Mmm alright... Go into download mode and take out your SD card and download the Loki file in the ROM thread then transfer to sdcard on PC. Then place back in phone.. Then go intro recovery and flash the file and it should work.
But wait before anything can you get into recovery? If so then you go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard and transfer the Loki file from your PC right there.

I have installed kies on the windows version and it notices the phone is connected, but it just keeps saying "connecting..." and a little thing spinning. Not sure how long it should take to connect...
why not download the loki zip to sd card, then put back on phone, reboot to recovery and install from sd card...

Okay I fixed it (you fixed it thank you so much!) I booted into recovery, and then into the zip file and installed loki, and all is well.

the OP of that ROM lists these specific installation instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL:
* Download the ROM (NO NEED FOR GAPPS)
* Reboot to Recovery
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Flash the ROM
* U.S. MODELS - Flash Loki Patch - http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/loki-doki.zip (CANADIAN USERS DO NOT INSTALL)
* Reboot your Galaxy S4
* Enjoy
remember to read everything first and understand what you are doing before proceeding. cheers
And only 5 simple steps. One sec of reading. And it matters. Or kaboom.
i wanted to do a complete format to clean my i337'z internal sd card and start fresh. and i chose to do the format from TWRP recovery. After the format it does not go beyond the samsung galaxy s4 logo.
it boots in TWRP and also download mode with key combo.
i flashed different Custom roms, tried all the different wipes but no use.
odin also fails, (AUTH fail) dont know why! Everything fails, Also i tried to Odin with the pit file but all in vain.
and also it says on the download mode Write protection : Enable
Does anyone have any idea What is going on with the device?. i seriously need to get it working. I know it is not dead because all the recovery and download mode is working i m just missing something which your experience can point out.
Thanks guys.

You have to flash everything as of this point I believe. Bootloader, kernal, .tar file, the whole works.

Did you install Kies in your computer? It's needed for some drivers so Odin can work. I was also getting an error until I installed it, then let the computer recognize the phone before clicking start in Odin.

If he got the odin error he got Odin to recognize the device, so he's got the right drivers.

I saw those drivers on the website (for the AT&T version), didn't try them because them are dated November 2012, which means older than the device itself. But if you confirm they work, I'll give them a try. Thanks for the tip. No use in having Kies installed, since I don't use it.

The other day I recieved a notification on my phone that there was a new update available for my LG Optimus L5's SW, and after my phone downloaded the update package it rebooted and went directly to Clockworkmod Recovery instead of installing the update. Now I can't seem to boot the phone normally as it will boot directly to CWM. I have searched in similar threads, I have tried reflashing a rom into it, putting it on download mode (not emergency because it didn't seem to work), wiping cache, fixing permissions, and still there is no luck. Is there any way to fix this problem? By the way I'm using an e610, my android version was 4.1.2 and the ROM I used to root the phone was 20d, with CWM 6.0.2.8.

Download to sdcard from a computer or friends phone, tablet, laptop. Insert card, boot to recovery, install twrp from card. Reboot to recovery. Now you should be on twrp.

Cool, you will want to let your setup sit a few days to settle whenever changing roms or kernels , they will burn fast for a bit. If you have stuff to auto sync all the time and gps on that will drain it fast
