please help!!! My s4 its stuck!

All i did was restart the phone, than realized it wouldn't boot up! its stuck at the att page. Ive trying to go manually reboot it several times. took out the battery that didn't work either. I rooted it again nope that didn't work. It wont go to recovery mode! (Hold Home Button + Power + Up) just turns off. I'm desperate please help. Should I just return it?

Can you get in download mode ? Volume down +power+home button If so flash a stock fw with odin

If wipe data doesn't work, look for a stock rom compatible with your device and carrier, and flash it using odin.

Friend, I had the same problem like you. The difference is that my phone could connect through Odin. I revive it as showed in my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41195930#post41195930
I dont know if that procedure could help you, but, if yes, I'll be happy to help you!!!
Good luck!

Try a factory reset. The procedure is in the phone manual. Something like phone off then power and vol. Down at same time then some other things after that. Heard it works for those who royally screw the pooch.

Try IOmonster's method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
It might just work.
EDIT: actually since you can't get into recovery try a different button combo. Some people say pressing all 3 keys at once works, some say just vol down + power.
Are you sure you had enough battery before flashing TWRP?

I don't have a G2, but could you use a Factory cable, which also supplies power and puts the device in Fastboot mode.
As I say, just passing through, so don't know if this is a real option.

I had an issue getting into download mode while bootlooping on an older recovery. U could try leaving phone plugged into computer, repower, then try getting into download mode. Worked for me.

This is a scarry thread!
Any updates?

when I plug the phone to the PC it recognize it as hard drives (more than 10 hard drives with small sizes from 32 meg to 10 meg ) most of them can not be accessed or protected .
than it all I got now

I did the same thing 2 nights ago. I used flashify to flash TWRP but flashed it as boot file causing it to boot loop into recovery. I had to power the phone off through the TWRP interface. Then, with the phone unplugged and off , I held the volume up button for about 3 seconds before inserting the micro usb cable. Keep holding the volume up button until the phone displays download mode. If your laptop still does not recognize your device, make sure you have the correct drivers installed and verify again. Once you are in download mode and your drivers are installed, you can follow the steps in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 post to get your phone back to stock. Worked for me and I thought my phone was donezo. Also, I installed cleanrom after I finished the above process and am loving it. Hope that helps you out mate!

Sprint S4 Stuck at Yellow Splash/Bootloop

So I got this S4 shortly after it came out running 4.2. I flashed CM 10.2 shortly afterwards, and ran that until the first milestone of CM11 was released. I switched to that for about 2 months, but decided I wanted to return to stock this evening.
I followed Qbking77's guide on unrooting to MDC, and all seemed well until I got to the restart stage and the phone started hanging at the yellow Sprint logo until switching to a bootloop. I've since tried reflashing the image multiple times and no dice.
I have a nandroid backup from 1-18-14 that I took after installing CM11. At this point I'd take anything functional, CM or stock.

After flashing mdc in odin just turn off the phone. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot. Profit.

Maybe I'm confused but... Isn't that when you hold volume up + power? If I understand what I'm doing, I think I'm only able to get download mode and not recovery.

So I'm tried those on the phone and I can get download mode, but not recovery mode. It will flash with the text in the top left corner, but then go right back into the boot loop like before.

So... I couldn't get recovery mode to work and I assumed that somehow I had erased it.
I went searching for tutorials on how to restore a stock recovery + rom and found an application that acts as an Odin All In One.
I'm not allowed to link yet, but something tells me that the author Rwilco12 is known around here because it's a pretty helpful piece of work he's done. I used the tool and suddenly I was able to boot into recovery per leaderbuilder's instructions.
The good news is: ITS ALIVE!
Thanks everyone for your help!

If you have an SD card and are stuck at the yellow sprint screen take it out and reboot the phone and it'll boot. After that first boot you shouldn't have a problem anymore

After holding down the volume up and power you can let go of power and hold the volume down. This will make sure it boots into recovery.

Yes, but now the phone don't boot.

You need a download mode jig. Can make one yourself or buy in ebay or something.

Well that's a problem. You might try the jig but I've never had to use one so don't know if or how well it'll work.
Sent from my Nexus 5

Seeing that you said you can enter recovery via ADB, you phone should not require a jig I believe, as it tries to boot and. Start ADB which allowed you to enter there. Also did you say that while on recovery your phone starts pressing random buttons. Like say up and down I assume? Just wondering if you have broken volume keys or malfunctioning keys.
And which model S4 do you have?

[Q] SM-N900W8 stuck in bootloop after flashing with odin!!!

This has probably been mentioned before...but I will try anyways. I tried galaxynote3root*dot*com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/ but it didn't work. Then I tried CF-Auto-Root-hltecan-hlteub-smn900w8 and it put my phone in a permanent boot loop and says recovery is not seandroid enforced!!! This is my work phone so I really hope someone can help.:crying:

So it says that about recovery and then what? You must give more info.
But I'll save you the trouble.
Go into download mode and flash stock firmware and start over. Do not use cf auto root this time. Lets get your device working. I can easily help you but you must follow my direction

I don't think download mode can be messed up unless in a very serious instances.
Just to make sure, here's how to access download mode;
- remove battery and put back in but don't press power
- press Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message appears on the screen, then let go of all the buttons
- press Vol Up to enter download mode

If you cannot put your phone in download mode through button presses, then I think you're only option is a jig short of sending it in for a repair.

Actually I tried DL mode right after hey_joe mentioned it just to see if I missed anything but it didn't work. I had tried it before as well but figured why not try it again. Both recovery and download modes are inaccessible. The only things I have done are the 2 processes I mentioned above, then I tried to get into DL (power, home, volume down) but no warning message came up...it just rebooted. and recovery mode (power home and up) a few times but got frustrated after it kept simply rebooting. I finally called a Telus tech support and they told me to try kies but it won't even detect the phone at all.
If I send this in will they be able see that I messed with the phone and void the warranty?

Like I said, you can easily get into download mode by using a jig so they would see knox tripped ( if yours was ) and also the custom system not to mention that when you power it on, it will show " Seandroid enforcing, etc... ). So yes I'm guessing they might charge you for an easy fix.

replace *dot* with . and it become a hyperlink. I used that tutorial and then when I restarted my phone after I saw that it didn't do anything i then did CF Autoroot. Then after everything was done I got the error and am unable to boot into download or recovery.

Try to remove battery & wait about 30 minutes.
Then put it back & press power. It works for me one week ago with the same issue.
Sorry my english

Disconnect the usb cable and then battery pull. I had the same problem. If u battery pull while thr usb cable is plugged in it is still getting power.

I had the same problem. Pull the battery out and in again and press vol down, home and powerbutton till you get in download mode. Then volume down to restart phone. It will restart as normal.
The solution of this warning for me was to try different Odin (where the box is yellow instead of blue) and install CWM recovery.
