So I installed the hyperdrive rom and was having trouble with the wifi so i downloaded the kernel in a seperate zip. went back in recovery, and installed everything, kernel kept erroring in recovery while installing, I decided to restart, and it asks if i want to prevent stock recovery from installing. Not sure what I hit, as I was clipping on the back, but whatever i did, now when the phone boots up, it vibrates for about 1 second, the screen stays black. It does this about every 10 sec. I can get into download mode so i tried installing the stock firmware with ODIN but i still have the same problem. Any suggestions?
Can you link to the kernel you installed. Also are you on mdl firmware and was Odin successful out were there errors?

yes. i think it bricked because when i rebooted, the recovery asked if i wanted to prevent the flashage (is that even a word?) of the stock recovery, and atm i was putting on the back, so i may have hit yes.

if you can get into download mode and that's stable and not rebooting on you. I'd look at then using Odin once in download mode and the cf-auto-root tool to get back to a working phone. you may lose data but may get out of the bricked state

I have a client's Atnt galaxy s4 that will not boot up normally and will not boot into recovery also.
when i try to boot into recovery i get the blue lettering in the top left and it just sits there i have let it sit for sometime like that with no change.
this is not my first go around with flashing android devices so please even give me Dev only options if that is what you think will fix it. i feel bad because he just bought this phone 2 weeks ago and cant use it. not sure what the other guy that tried to root it did and neither does he so i am shooting in the dark so any help would be great.
I have tried flashing the stock Odin package with no luck.
Also tried Kies Firmware upgrade with no luck
Most of the custom recovery for this phone from what i read are not flashed threw odin anymore, but if i am wrong please link me and i will give it a shot.
Dose anyone have any ideas someone told me to use the .PIT file and re-partition the device and reflash the stock odin package. but i have had no luck locating the .pit file for the I337 galaxy S4 could anyone grab it from there phone and upload it for me or any ideas on how i could possibly fix this issue.
Thanks in advance
Since you already tried ODIN, why don't you try KIES.
I tried that allrdy just forgot to add it to the list updated first post
Copied this from another thread, guy was having same issue.
EDIT: Problem solved by scott14719. Here it is: As soon as you feel the phone vibrate, immediately let go of the power button but continue to hold the other buttons until the recovery boots, then let go of them.
Phone goes into download mode ok?

if the os isnt hosed just download goomanager and install the recovery then download a touchwiz rom that has an extended reboot menu, you can then just boot into recovery from the OS.

If you can get into download mode and odin it should wipe everything, it should work. Maybr its hardware?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
In addition to letting go of the power button after the vibrate, here are a couple of other things that appear to have worked for other forum members. I didn't discover any of these fixes, I just did a lot of reading and saw where others have had similar problems and found ways to solve them. That is what makes the XDA community great:
Uppercuticus said:
I've had this happen to me several times while playing around with flashing. Basically (without fail in my experience), hold power+volume up+home as you'd normally do until you see the booting recovery message and let go. It will do one of two things - boot into recovery- or - restart and vibrate-. If it restarts and vibrates, immediately hold power+volume up+home until the booting recovery message pops up again and let go. It should then boot into recovery and you shouldn't have trouble in subsequent attempts.
It took me a while to figure this out and I actually thought I had permanently bricked my phone as the phone wouldn't boot and I couldn't get into recovery. Hope this helps.

After using ODIN, make sure to do a software (factory reset) to get rid of any data and settings that stayed behind. The firmware packages that we have for Odin, do not wipe everything on their own.

here are all the details;
Rooted ATT Galaxy S4 MK2 with Busybox. all went well until I tried to flash and boot into recovery. Installed ClockworkMod Recovery, tried to reboot into recovery...permission error. Installed Team Win Recovery, same problem.
investigated... Superuser.apk for some reason is NOT present in app directory. hmm. checked for root, have root.
installed ClockworkMod Superuser from play store... asks to update superuser... fails with signature error.
There seems to be no way to flash this phone. I have the original backup I made with ClockworkMod but restore fails with signature error.
The phone works fine, has root but I am concerned I will not be able to update to 4.4 when it's available. I am also NOT able to flash any alternative ROM. frustrating.
I see there are relatives to this issue all over xda but as far as I can tell after a weekend of trying is there's NO WAY to boot into recovery with write permissions being allowed.
hi guys,
I downloaded this ROM which now I know was not the right one for my phone, I flashed it smoothly through TWRP, (this was my 1000th time flashing custom ROM's on different phones), rebooted the phone and from there on I have this constant rebooting which happens so quickly that doesn't even allow the first page's logo to appear on the screen before it restarts again, i have a vibration every 7 seconds or so. I have tried every mean I know of to get into the recovery but no luck, the download mode however is reachable, I used odin to put the stock rom back but the phone is still not booting up and acts the same, please help me if you can. I also tried flashing a recovery only image on the phone through Odin, but it doesn't allow me I think due to my bootloader still being locked.
thanks a lot.
I have a i337.

when I press vol up + power button it vibrates once now I have tried two things, one I left it right away and it goes to the rebooting cycle, but if I keep holding the buttons combination nothing happens, the weird thing is that even for getting in the DL mode I have to release the power button first while still holding the vol dn so it would get in there, and the page to the dl mode renders very very slowly, also the page after that after I press the vol up.
Recovery mode is vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the phone vibrates
You were able to successfully flash a stock ROM back? If so, see if Kies will recognize it and do an 'emergency firmware update' or something like that.

one more thing I forgot to say is that I erased the system folder through twrp before flashing the last rom, something that I had done before and was corrected by the odin.

I have gotten into download mode and ODIN'd it with the stock image but it put me right back at the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue and if so can itt be fixed?

After odin says sucessful,you have to remove the battery cause it will be stuck stuck on the download screen and go into recovery and factory reset the phone and it should boot right up.I dont think your phone is hard-bricked if you was able to use odin.

The next morning i installed ktoonsez kernel 100% certain it was for my cyano and everything i was running and its 90% hard bricked. The only thing i can do is get it into odin mode. Ive also flashed my att ucuamdl file with odin to try and reset it and it has said successful. The only thing i had checked was t ime reset and reboot. So i pulled the battery to try and fire it back up and nothing happens but a black screen and a little vibration. Kind of pisses me of since im not the only one who has had this happen. So far ive still had no luck with anything about the phone. no recovery, no nothing. Anybody else know anything?

So i pulled the battery to try and fire it back up and nothing happens but a black screen and a little vibration. Kind of pisses me of since im not the only one who has had this happen. So far ive still had no luck with anything about the phone. no recovery, no nothing. Anybody else know anything?

If you can get into odin mode flash the mdl file again but make sure you have nothing ticked such as the f rest time or auto boot.And once you done pull out your usb cord and it should still say downloading on the screen.So pull the battery and then place it back in but dont boot up go into recovery what i do to get in recovery is hold the volume up,power and home button until i see the recovery booting sign at the top left corner then i let go off the power button and hold the volume up and home button until it boots into recovery.but when you go into recovery it will download the install the mdl file so you might have to do the recovery part twice after it installs the file then factory reset your phone and it should boot right up.

What kt kernel did you install was it the aosp kt kernel or the tw kt kernel you might flashed the wrong kernel.

I know that you would think that it would be the newbie mistake to install an tw kernel on top of a aosp ROM, but I made 100% sure to choose the correct ROM. I know the difference between touch wiz and also.
Also, sorry to hijack the thread I just saw it and figured since we both have the same problem we might all solve it together.
My galaxy is messing up everytime I turn it on it gets stuck on the Samsung logo and I dont what to do please help if you know how to fix this.
Did it just starting doing this by itself or have you recently flashed our installed anything. Also, what firmware are you on?

Have you tried rebooting it again and do you have a backup of your phone. I'm sure we can get it working again but to do that it might wipe your device.

I would try a factory reset in recovery, you'll lose root so you'll have to re-root afterwards.
Wait do you have safestrap

That's not a good sign that it's not working. The next thing to try is to flash the factory firmware. See the attached. You'll want to download the all in one file and flash that in odin.

You'll download a .rar file, use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in the PDA slot in odin.

Download Odin and the all in one onto your computer. You'll run Odin from your computer. Boot your phone into download mode then plug it into your usb cable. Odin should show that your device is connected.

Start it up. You'll see a PDA slot where you can browse for a file. Browse to where the.tar.md5 file you downloaded is. Then boot your phone into download mode and plug the usb cable into it. Odin should have a com in the upper left hand corner turn yellow or blue, it depends on the Odin version you're using. Once you see that your phone is being recognized by Odin and you can hit start. If everything goes right it should take about 10 minutes for it to do its thing. If it's successful boot into recovery and do a factory reset

I don't want to steal your thunder JD. Sketchy do you live near a BestBuy? If so some have a Samsung Experience Shop which they can do that for you if you are unsure how to use Odin. Tell them Kies broke your phone and ask them to reflash it. Its free. Try not to show them the custom logo.
