missing sprint splash screen - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

when i turn on my phone the splash screen is not there and when i turn my phone
off it is not there how do i get it back.

Are you on a custom kernel? Sometimes they have not boot animation. If there's no stock boot animation zip you can flash stock kernel.

Did you have a custom rom or anything else installed before? What was listed above should do you. If that fails but it's really that important to you then you can start from scratch and Odin a stock image. You WILL LOSE EVERYTHING by doing that though. The only time I ever see that sprint stuff is if I restore to stock after a fubar moment. LOL

Here is a flashable zip that will give you back the stock bootanimation. You can lose it when you flash ROM's that are not made for your device. I know from experience. Here is a dropbox link for it. Just flash it in recovery and it will be back.

Stock ROM??

Does anyone have a stock ROM or nandroid recovery available? I was a complete idiot and didn't back mine up before I messed with root and got stuck in a bootloop. Now I am stuck using custom ROMs that are still in beta.
You can grab one from incredibleroms dot com I believe.

S4 freeze on Samsung logo on every restart no matter what ROM

My phone has been flashed with Odin to stock , motochopper rooted and Goomanager for TWRP recovery.. No matter what ROM I install with the proper Loki Doki on TW or GE Roms it will work on first boot but if I restart or turn on the and off the phone it will freeze on the Samsung logo screen. Than I have to go through the process of Odin again.. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Flash the rom, then flash a att loki kernel, it will boot, in that order.
name one of the roms.
Which kernel would you suggest? I don't know if I have been doing it wrong this whole time..

I have the same problem as you do. I think, I have solved it myself. This what I did:
1.wipe data/factory
2.install roms
3.install loki (then gapps if possible)
4.wipe data/factory again
5.reboot
Normally, it will reboot first time. When I try to test it if device will reboot but it did, tho it took 5 sec for samsung with unlocked custom logo to pass
Thanks.. What ROM are you using?

I have used GoldenEye ROM and I can restart my phone with no problem. The problem starts when I flash a GE ROM or any other TW ROM. I like to use FoxHound ROM which does work but when the phone restarts it freezes at the SAMSUNG Logo
if ALL else fails back up EVERYTHING and format sdcards internal and external, not at same time--
best to format ext outside phone with a FULL format
have rom/kernel/etc on pc to reload card
either hope you get it sorted--

[Q] Can't run custom rom

Alright ive kinda hit a wall im not sure what i can do i can't seem to get my s4 to flash to any custom roms. just picked it up it came with the latest MF9, ive followed the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257101 to get root access and to install twrp. i can get it all to install just fine and have verified that i have root access. but once i flash a custom rom ie. CM 10.1 or even Slim mod either through goomanager it will say it installs successfully but once it reboots the new rom splash screen shows up and just sits there forever spinning and it never goes any further.
ive even restored my device to factory and unrooted the device and im still unable to get any roms to load up. am i missing anything that someone might be able to point out
heres the steps ive tried or gone thru
1. CF-autoroot via odin
2. install Twrp or CWM either thru odin or their manager aps
3. copy rom and gapps to sd card
4. boot to recovery and try to install
5. get stuck at splash screen!!!!
You probably need to install a compatible kernel. If the Rom doesn't include one that's the problem.

If you want a good aosp rom try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43120823 it is very stable and awsome except there aren't much customization options update your recovery first then wipe data, system, and cache then flash the rom. Use this as a backup rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471

Is there a way to temp boot tw in order to flash prl

I used to have e4gt and there was a way if you had a kexec kernel to temp boot a tw rom just to update prl and profile, and then on next boot just go back to aosp. Is there a way to do this on jflte?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
There is dual boot. But only works with certain Roms. You could make a current ROM backup then download a TW , flash it. Then update prrl/profile and then restore backup.

ROMs won't boot

Hey all I have ATT d800 - I used 10d stock firmware and rooted. Using Philz recovery latest version.
No ROMs will boot. I am stuck at the LG screen. The only only ROM that boots are CM11 nightlies.
ANY help here is appreciated.

I seriously do not know what else to do. I really enjoy CM11 Nightlies...but I wan't to try something else at least a few other ROMs.
I can't be only one with this issue.
I think my prob is i have a zva rom but no zva radio i never flashed my radio after update so i think mine stuck between two roms kinda in a weird way
