My phone was working fine and then it rebooted on it's own yesterday morning and now it is stuck at the ATT logo screen. I hear the ATT music play but it stays on the screen with the logo. I have rebooted many times and it still does the same thing. I have searched everywhere and no solutions have worked. I have NO idea where to start.
Was it rooted? MK2? MK3? NB1? 1337m or regular? We need more information

It was never rooted. Everything was stock since the day I got it. I think I did a software upgrade at the end of last year but that is it.
Contact Samsung.

I would boot into recovery and do a factory reset. It'll wipe everything so I hope you have a back up somewhere. But it should get you going again.

I recently got a Galaxy S4 from att and I rooted it to be able to remove the bloatware. I tried to install a program called icon theme for rooted phones to customize my phone but when it rebooted it stays stuck on the Att boot up screen. Please give me suggestions on what to do. I am very new to android phones and rooting. Thanks in advance.

Yep wrong section....and your first mistake was not doing research
Before you do anything...READ READ AND READ AGAIN...especially with a new device...

just plug in your device to your computer and follow these steps:

this will completely disable Xposed, so you'll have to redo any other mods you had from it

Could you reboot it two more times to verify it still uses that boot screen? Sometimes you gotta reboot with the revalidated binary.

You need to go to the "General" section and read the threads that already exist about the OTA... your questions are already answered in them. Good luck.
Basically, if you took the OTA, kies is your only hope to get back to AMDL firmware right now. If kies doesn't work, you are SOL. But, like I said, all of this has already been discussed in the other threads.
Hey guys,
Whenever there is a new system update on my galaxy s4 (this time, JB4.3), it downloads, and then I click restart and install. Instead of booting normally, it boots into recovery and does nothing. I use TWRP. It launches and does nothing. Then I have to reboot and don't get the update. Does anyone know how to fix this? Now the update won't show up for another week.
Thanks in advance,
Gameriot

? you're getting a 4.3 OTA? im assuming you're running a GE ROM?
what ROM are you running? OTAs never apply when you're running a custom recovery.

First off I have searched, and came up with nothing. I am on MF3, and did a factory reset and now my S4 is stuck on downloading screen. Anyone know a way to fix this. Any help is appreciated.
Are you rooted? When download mode comes up have you cancelled, vol down?
No lost my root on firmware update.. it doesnt give that option. It just says
could not do normal boot.

Have you tried kies? Some have reported that that has worked for them.
Mine does the same thing it will not boot into recovery you have to boot power+home+volume down then press volume down again to cancel and it should reboot from there fine

As long as you've got a custom recovery installed, you should be able to install a ROM. Just wipe system etc and install a new one. Ota updates only work on stock recovery as far as I know.
