Failed to root s4(GT-I9506) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I´m new here and I'm hope in the correct forum. Sorry my English isn't the best but I´ll try to explain, maybe someone can help me.
I've never rooted a phone before. I was just trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S4 4G(GT-I9596) with ODIN and my phone now stuck with the blue colour legend Recovery booting mode. i think i put the wrong tar. file in PDA. i unplugged the battery and put it back in but once i press the power button it switch to the blue colour legend Recovery booting again >!<
i can still boot into download mode after i unplugged the battery and holding power and down volume. i can restart my phone after the warning screen. but once i click "factory data reset"my phone turn back to the blue colour legend Recovery booting.
plz help!i! is there any chance that i can fix it and can anyone help me plz..i'm freaking out
i dun want to root my phone anymore, i;m too scared that i will end up bricking the phone

[Q] samsung s4 sgh-1337m (rogers) cannot boot into recovery.

Hi i am new to the android as i just got my first android phone the s4. i have done resaerch and flashed my phone with this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308663
The flashing of the rom went smooth and everything works exept wifi.. so i want to revert to my stock rom i backed up to get wifi back but i cannot boot in to recovery twrp or cwrm. when i press boot into recovery via goomanger or rom manager it reboots says it is entering recovery but then reboots before it goes into recovery mode and boots into the os. i have tried uninstalling/ reinstalling twrp and cwrm but still nothing. i am desperite to get my wifi back any insight would be great! thanks
Are you familiar with adb commands? In your OS with USB debugging enabled you can issue the command "adb reboot recovery" from the command line and it'll get you there.
That is, if you're familiar with adb commands. Otherwise there is a key combination that will get you there. I'm too new to samsung to remember it but it involves the home button, power and volume key up or down. Search the forum I'm sure it'll be here somewhere

Use the key combo:
Cycle the battery
Hold Vol-Up and Home, then Power
Release Power when it vibrates continuing to hold Vol-Up and Home
If the recovery is truly gone, use Goo Manager to restore TWRP

Thanks for the help but i not to sure about the adb commands and no matter what way i try to reboot into recovery it just restarts into the os after it goes to the samsung screen and says recovery booting in the top left
i have tried that and it says booting reocvery... then restarts it self and reboots into the os i have both twrp and cwm installed. who ever knew trying to restore to stock firmware could be so complicated lol not sure what is going on with my phone. everything works with the rom i installed exept wifi.

I believe your recovery is missing... Try the steps I outlined to load TWRP with Goo Manager... If you just want to go back to stock let me know.

Re-download the zip file and check the md5. It could have been a bad download. It happens more than you would think. Then try Odin again.

flash stock rom using a firmware package from my thread at the top of the dev section
put
pda in pda
phone in modem
csc in csc
do NOT include pit file
do NOT tick repartition
if you choose a wipe pack (says wipe in file name) the phone should just boot up after flash
if you choose a non wipe pack (doesnt say wipe in file name) and the phone doesnt boot after flash go to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset and then restart

EDIT: How to use ODIN -> HERE
Tryvthis first:
Boot to recovery by pressing VOLUME UP + POWER.
when you see blue writing in top left corner release the power button but keep holding volume up until you're in recovery.
P.S The Home button is not needed on i9505 to boot to recovery or download modes.

This worked, and phone booted in recovery mode (not touch that was previously installed), wiped data/factor reset however phone is still not booting. I think phone has no rom manager installed, how can I proceed to install rom manager and flash stock rom or root it again?

Try flash this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-touch-recovery-t3107535 , TWRP is much better than CWM and more compatible with new roms AND use ODIN 3.07 Link if u cant find : https://forum.cyanmod.pl/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=2819
How to install :
1) Install whatever drivers make you happy and make your device connect (i would suggest samsung ones).
2) Reboot your device in download mode you can use adb reboot download or the hardware key combo for your device.
3) Load up Odin and uncheck auto-reboot.
4) Click PDA and select the TWRP tar you downloaded.
5) Connect your device in download mode.
6) Click start.
7) When its finished disconnect your device, pull the battery out.
8) Reinsert the battery and use the hardware keys for your device to power directly into recovery mode (this will bypass install-recovery.sh if you are stock).
9) Enjoy having a custom recovery.
happens with me too
Maybe Because of the bootloader is locked on our devices

bootloop and can't access recovery

hi guys i tried to flash my C9000 but now my phone is in bootloop and i can't enter recovery it says
recovery booting
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit recovery what to do plz help
i tried skyneel .com guide
i flashed twrp on my phone
Hi bro. İ have same problem 8 months ago and i know this fix.
First. Sorry for my bad english.
You must wait the battery fully discharge. Because you cant make anything now.
When fully discharged phone. You plug charge and press wolume down+power+home. You can go to download mode this way. You must flash the original firmware via odin.
And if you want flash twrp again this step is required.
Go Settings page in odin and untick the auto reboot.
And manually go to recovery mode by download menu after install.

Ok, do the 3button combination as if you are booting into download mode. As soon as screen goes black, keep power and home key pressed down but move to volume up. You have to be quick before it boots to download. This will get you to recovery.
