I had a custom recovery and rom (mk2), but i wanted to return to stock so i used odin to flash stock mk2 tar. Everytime odin completes and restarts the phone i am stuck at a yellow sprint startup screen. No matter how long i leave it, it wont boot. Please help
Clear the cache in the stock recovery. If that fails to work, you'll have to factory reset.
Boot into stock recovery and factory reset.

Sorry to say but unless you can get into Recovery, then I agree with this.
I've had to do the same thing when I installed icons or something that did not agree with my system framework.
If you can get into recovery, then try clearing cache & dalvik and fix permissions.
If that doesn't work, then do a factory reset. You'll lose a bunch of stuff but it'll be better than Odin.
I think odin would be the best option it will give you a clean slate. Its not hard to reroot the device. But do as you please.

I cant reinstall my ROM or flash anything, i cant even boot into anything but recovery and download.
I did not set a password, i tried restoring hyperdrive from a backup.
Is there a default password to TWRP recovery?
If not, can i flash recovery without booting into my phone.
EDIT:
I'm following this guide here:

To flash via ODIN.
I've seen that with a bad download of twrp. Download load it again and then reflash it.
Edit, at this point you might be better off using Odin to flash the stock rom and starting over. I'm not sure if an odin flashable version of twrp exists.

Went through the Odin process and now i'm stuck at the Samsung custom screen, wont go any farther.
Any suggestions?
EDIT
WOAH Looks like i have stock recovery now. Trying to factory reset etc...
EDIT 2:
Alright so the process i took was to flash the stock factory image using Odin, then reboot into recovery and factory wipe/reset phone.
It's booting up into the stock rom now..... Woot!
Yep, that's what it all should be.

Hello,
After successfully rooting my S4 and installing 4.3.3 I wound up screwing things up and now have the yellow triangle of death when I try to get back into recovery or boot the rom.
The only thing I seem to be able to do successfully now is get back to download mode.
Trying to flash a new recovery via odin results in a nand write failure. I've tried philz, clockwork and twrp, all do the same thing.
Since I can't boot the rom there's no way to use an adb based utility like casual, which is what I had used to originally root.
From what I can find it doesn't appear there are any odin flashable versions of the loki utility.
Any help with ideas on what to try next appreciated.
Thanks for any help
Update: I've been spending my time in the samsung galaxy s4 forum, just now realized there was an att specific sub forum which explains why I ended up using non loki'fied roms. Still stuck, still need help. Thanks in advance.
If you can get into download, then just flash the stock ROM via Odin and start over again.

If you can't get into recovery at all, and you can't use Odin or Kies to restore with, I would say you are looking at needing Jtag.
I would try every known key combination and methods to get into recovery first though several times. It can be tricky.

ended up having to wipe data and cache in stock recovery ... but then it did boot up .... thanks!
My friend wants to get rid of root and all that and just get the stock gs4 rom so he can get OTA updates and stuff. I cannot seem to find 4.4 of the touchwiz rom anywhere.
Anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks!
Grab this and flash using Odin. Its a tar file. Be sure to backup anything important as it wont wipe data but there are times where after successfully flashing and rebooting it will hang on the sprint yellow splash screen which will require a factory reset on stock recovery which means it will wipe the entire internal memory.

Hello Everyone,
This is my situation.... I want Unrooting my Sprint S4 using Mobile Odin .... and now my phone only boots up to the Samsung Logo. On that screen it also says Recovery Booting however it turns off after 10 Secs. I can get my phone into download/odin mode but that is about it. I can not boot into recovery.
I would imagine someone either has experience or expertise on this matter.
PLEASE HELP
Thank you in advance,
V.E.
If possible what bootloader, modem and ROM were/are you on, also do you care about tripping knox (or is it already).
You have to wipe data to get it to boot. This will wipe EVERYTHING on internal memory. Or you could reroot and install install recovery over Odin and boot into recovery and wipe data which will be like wiping to do a clean Install for custom ROM install. Which wknr wipe everything. Once it boots up apply the stock unrooted tar via Odin with a COMPUTER.

I HAD Twrp recover... Had CWM recovery... phones acting like it doesn't have custom recovery (pain in my ass.)..... thought i used rom manger to put cwm back on it.
IDK the modem
I was on a Slim ROM (which was giving me problem as well; Great Rom but it just recently kept crashing.)
I already tripped knox forsure ..... and dont care..... i wanted to get it on a stock kernel by unrooting (Wasnt as brillant as I thought)
Don't even know if thats it possible (If it is show me the promise land! :angel: I wanted root again so I could get triangle away working on root.
However that is how I got here. So getting my phone operational would be a win, start; challenge accepted! :good:
