Hey guys
Im so confused now
I used the magic tool to install 4.4.2 Rom, I downloaded the rom and flashed it then went to download mode to add the files to odin and flash them, I done all the steps and rebooted but it's stuck at the samsung logo.
Then I tried to flash the rom again but my device is still stuck at the samsung logo also it now skips the safestrap. I can only enter download mode
What should I do please help me
Did you flash the kernel if needed? You have to provide more info in order to get help model, build released, kernel, version you are coming from?
Just guessing if you are on a boot loop it's because you are missing something or flash something wrong but provide precise info to help better.

Hi.
When i got my i9500 i tried rooting it with a guide i found. It didn't work and i ended up flashing the phone with a stock rom, and re rooting with an updated and working guide.
Rom manager says i have two custom recoveries installed but when i try to boot into a custom recovery (CWM) it will not boot, instead it is booting straight to stock recovery. I think they may not have been removed when i flashed the stock rom.
Could someone please help by giving me instructions on how to get it working again.
Thanks for you help

Just Switch off your phone & Then press Power On+Volume up+menu button. You will go to recovery.
In the post i said that it will not boot into any of the custom recoverys that i have. Is there a way to remove them?

Hi everybody!
I think I soft bricked my Galaxy S4. I had MF3 firmware, flashed Safestrap and Installed custom ROM. Everything was Okay before I decided to flash another one. I flashed Alpha v10 ROM and it didn't boot.
Right now I'm stuck with Galaxy s4 writing and accessible Download Mode and stock recovery mode.
What should I do now? I know that we don't have MF3 firmware available but is there any possibility to boot this phone?
Thanks in advance
There is a script on here that you can flash with odin to make your phone boot normally its in the android development section for our phone. Try looking for it there. Good luck.
Edit: heres the link to it.

So it all started earlier today when I tried flashing a custom kernel to my phone. Everything went fine but by WiFi refused to turn on. I then tried clearing the dalvik cache and fixing permissions but that failed to do it. I then tried doing a factory reset from the custom recovery but now when my phone boots up it's stuck on the Samsung Logo. I've tried using a few methods including Odin but they all fail for whatever reason. I would try going back to the custom recovery to see if I could fix it but since I did a factory reset I only have the stock recovery now. If anyone could help me out here I would greatly appreciate it . (It's the I337 Model)
Well I still haven't found any working solutions to my predicament. Still looking for some help if anyone can offer it.
I'm no expert but if you are on MF3 I don't think you can flash custom anything without using Safestrap. You may want to do more research. Good Luck.

Well I would do that but I factory reseted it so I don't think it will work if I'm not mistaken.

You need to follow this guide by gtj0. After you flash the emergency files, flash the Odin tar file or update to 4.3.

Well I would take a look at it but the link you provided is invalid :/
Just wanted to let everyone know that I found a fix for this after a tedious search. I just downloaded and flashed the files and ODIN magically worked. If anyone else is having the exact same issue as me just look at the link provided below. These files are specific to the I337 model just FYI. Thanks XDA for all your help and I plan to make a home out of this wonderful community .

No, you'll need a computer for at least part of the process. What firmware ate you on?
I have a deathly slow xp laptop available.
Firmware is i337UCUEMK2

Well luckily rooting isn't that system taxing. I rooted mine on a 2006 laptop...slow but worked
Just read this guide:

You can't install a custom recovery if you have mk2 firmware your bootloader is locked and currently the only way to run a custom ROM is to use safe strap. You can try this to unbrick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 or take it to a best buy with a Samsung experience shop and beg them to flash it.

Well not sure what steps to do as the phone is in download mode. I see the 4th post in that thread has boot modem and recovery and that seems to be what screwed up flashing twrp. I could try that set of steps and see or can I flash back to the previous firmware and be all good and hope the MK2 ota is pushed to me.

Well I flashed the stock recovery and boot img and I got my phone back. Will wait to see if twrp gets supported before flashing a custom rom.

You can't get twrp to work unless someone counteracts sammy's bootloader lockdown--I don't see that happening anytime soon
You need to use SafeStrap as mentioned--read up a lot on it in the General and Q&A sections
You can still flash a fair number of quality roms, but you are limited
You must use SafeStrap's recovery, which if memory serves me, is loosely based on twrp
