Hey,
Try to get into recovery by pressing power,volume up and home button.
From recovery you can restore backup.

hey all,
so i am incredibly new to this scene and just recieved my s4. i was preparing to flash a ROM onto my phone, and got it rooted and installed CWM.
I forgot to download the actual ROM zip file, and went into CWM via goo manager, wiped factory/data and cache. It was only AFTER i wiped everything that i realised i didnt download the ROM zip file, so i rebooted the phone and now it is stuck on the start-up splash screen where it displays "Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505" and will not continue :crying:
I was running on stock, and had only rooted the phone.
PLEASE i urgently need to fix this ASAP. Help!
Hi,
is there a Odin Version of the Rom you tried to flash? If yes, you could simply bring your device to download-mode and flash the Rom with Odin.
Alternatively search for a odin flashable Recovery and flash this first. Then you could boot to recovery and flash the zip of the Rom.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
i tried installing the liquid smooth rom, and from what i can see there is no odin version of the rom :\
Are you able to direct me to an Odin flashable recovery I can use?
im really stressing out about this
i'm in the process of downloading a stock firmware and will try to flash it on, but it's taking forever to download
I don't see why you can't boot again if you have only wiped the user data and cache, just press the home button for 10 seconds and see if it restarts with your reset stock firmware. Otherwise you can reboot into recovery and do the wipes again (not the option to install a new ROM), or put the ROM zip you want to flash on an SD card and then flash from the SD.
I hope this helps.

You should of made a backup with CWM. That's what it's used for also, besides flashing .zips. Always make a backup that you can restore and keep an extra copy on ur computer and/or a usb drive.
You have to use Odin to flash a stock firmware from Sammobile website. Make sure you download the correct firmware for your phone.
Dont worry, your phone isn't brick.
when i first did the wipe, i chose the option that i was going to install a new ROM. I'm now assuming that's where i made a mistake.
I did make a backup before i wiped everything onto my SD card, but now i can't even access that backup because it's saying there's nothing.
I've tried flashing a ROM onto it, but it says aborted.
Yes SORF ist right. It should boot into resetted stock firmware.
First try to copy the Rom to SD and then boot to recovery an try flashing it.
If booting to recovery doesn't work (but it should work if you just wiped user data and cache) you should try flashing new recovery with odin.
You could use Philz recovery for GT-I9505 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
Installation Instructions for installation with odin you find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39433857&postcount=4

Thanks, that's what I'm doing right now, but the file is about 1.8GB and taking so long to download...
i wish there was a faster server, but this is the only option i could find :\
Have you tried to boot into recovery again and then flash your already downloaded rom from sd? So you don't have to download a complete sammy rom.

yes i have tried that, and it says that install aborts.
Also when i re-wipe everything and then try to reboot, it says my device is missing root.
When i try to re-root, and the device reboots, it gets stuck on the intro screen again so the root doesn't actually complete installing
have you fixed it yet?
so im going to try a different ROM other than the liquid smoothe one i wanted (since it keeps saying aborted)
question: does it matter if i use ANY s4 ROM regardless of carrier? I'm from Australia and there is no specific carrier for my phone on xda
Why does it fails to install? Are there any more error messages?
Also you can try the point "Fix Permissions" under Advanced Options. This could help.

try something lite like miui - it will save you time on download and is a good solid base to work from. dont flash the lite gapps without a reboot.
for a solid Sami based rom then i suggest using GoldenEye.

ok so i went ahead and found the cyanogenmod one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317040
and installed this and it works
though i dont like the look of this ROM lol, i prefer something a little more stock looking.
Any recommendations?
When reflashing a new ROM, what is the process i need to follow?
Cyanogenmod is themeable. So you could search for a stock like theme and install that.
If you like an overall more stock rom try scottyf79's recommendation.
If you want to flash a complete new Rom first copy zip onto sd, then boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, then falsh zip file.
Try the Omega Roms. They are close to stock.
Closest to stock are the prerooted DJembey ROMs (the CWM ones) or the Wanam Lite ROM (it's what I am on now)

personally -
i use Philz recovery
before install of a new rom - i use the "new rom" wipe option rather than the normal data,cache and dalvik wipe (it does this but adds in some extra steps)
then flash the rom of choice
if you get any other messages before reboot - select no
like i said before, if you want a stock looking Sami rom then try Golden Eye.

phone: galaxy s4 i9505

its on the Optus network.
i installed i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4 using ODIN 3.06
then tried to install pac_jfltexx-nightly-20131014
i installed CWM, all good, i tried to install PAC MAN ROM and i got an error, it didnt finish the install and now it wont go past the splash screen.
i was planning on reinstalling the original firmware but my phone doesnt recognize my sd card (i can boot in recovery mode)
i did the wipe data/cache, still nothing.
what can i do??
Please don't panic, you're phone isn't bricked. Do you have a backup of your stock Samsung rom? Odin the CWM recovery again and restore back the rom.
Take a look at the other thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483148

You don't need flash any kernel for have a custom recovery. Take a look:

You sound like you really don't know what you're mate.
I think the best advice anyone can give you is to put your phone down and read some more.
If you have successfully flashed CWM then all you need to do is flash a ROM of your choice then wipe data / factory reset.
Also before you even think about flashing anything to your phone you NEED to back up your EFS partition.

Don't panic bad it's just down to the version of recovery ?
Just go back into recovery & try flashing again once you get status 7 go back & second line from bottom where you chose zip you will see "allow update old binary" tick the box if not ticked or until if it's selected then select zip to flash & it'll go straight through
i have a samsung galaxy note 3
i was in the process of installing a new rom. i wiped my phone(internal). then I rebooted (ughh). now i can only reboot to android system recovery. my backups and rom are on my sdcard. but i do not know what to do?

Friends, I am new to custom roms. It is the first time I will be installing a custom rom. I have note 3 n9005 32GB. It is rooted and TWRP recovery installed. I am looking for some simple to install custom rom. Please guide me in this regard. A simple and less risky installation method would be good for me.

Yes, you can flash back to a stock Samsung ROM using Odin. I recommend downloading the stock ROM and keep it on your computer so you can flash back to stock when required.

Well I tried to use that rom but I had some problem with that due to which I got to reflash stock firmware. Whenever I tried to install rom using TWRP my phone rebooted and get stuck on note 3 logo.
Friends, I was unable to install Phronesis rom. The steps that I followed are given below.
1) Downloaded Phronesis v6.2 rom from OP and copied it to SD Card.
2) Booted into TWRP recovery.
3) Selected "Wipe" option in the recovery menu.
4) Selected Advanced wipe.
5) From this menu I selected system, data, cache and delvit/art cache.
6) After selecting above options I swiped to wipe.
7) After this I went back to main recovery Menu.
8) From recovery menu I selected Install.
9) From here I chose Phronesis v6.2 rom from SD card storage.
10) Installation started and a bar started to load on the bottom of screen.
And after a few seconds (10 to 30 sec) my phone restated and stuck on note 3 logo.
At the end I didn't have any option but to re-flash stock firmware using odin.
It is the horror story of my note 3.
Please tell me where I have done wrong.

1. Boot into recovery (say TWRP) Please read Q&A re TWRP .
2. Select wipe in recovery menu
3. Select Advanced Wipe
4. From the resulting window, select to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache (of course after backing up your rom / data)
5. Swipe to wipe the selected partitions.
That's recovery wipe completed.
Recovery install zip .
In Aroma menu when you get to option to wipe, select:
1. Select "Full Wipe" radio button
2. Select "Full wipe 1" radio button
3. Select your CSC as desired
4. Continue making other choices as you like....
Sir i am trying to follow this guide given in OP in Phronesis Rom thread. I successfully followed this guide till recovery wipe. But unfortunately it is not going into aroma installer.?
Then its a failed download of the rom .
Install zip should lead to a start of the rom install and aroma with options .
Suggest you stop posting multiple threads its to hard to follow .

Thanks. And sorry for multiple threads. I will download that rom again.
Should I put rom file in internal memory of note 3 or I should put it in SD card?
SD Card .
Tried by redownloading the rom but still I can not enter aroma installer.
What is MD5?
The lollipop that I am currently installing my note 3 is "N9005ZSUGOL1_N9005OZSGOL1_N9005ZSUGOL1_HOME.tar.md5" via odin.
Is there any other way to make my stock rom more significant without installing custom rom?
Upgrade is almost complete. I will root soon after completion.
After trying many times, I don't want to install this rom anymore. Thanks every one for help. XDA is really amazing.
