Hi everyone,
I'm a noob here but I read the guidelines
You're the only who can save me tonight (it's 3 a.m. here and sry for my bad english).
I rooted my Galaxy S4 (international version - Snap 600 - i9505) and I flashed the latest nightly of cyanogenmod. I started my device and, after 4-5 minutes, the rom started. I felt immediately disappointed, it's a pre-alfa version and I installed it just to try it.
So, I decided to install the Pure Google Rom with Android 4.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026).
I rebooted my device, but for some reasons (I got a small crash, because I failed, removing my battery during the boot animation), my phone is now stucked at the title screen.
I can see just "Samsung Galaxy S4 - GT_i9505" on an infinite black screen. I'm so sad, I wish to solve this problem...
P.S. I tried to reboot in recovery mode: almost the 70% of the times I tried, it failed entering recovery mode. The only time it entered recovery, I wiped everything, but nothing seems to change.
Please help :\

Usually the international version is i9500 running on Exynos Octa core. Are you sure you loaded the right firmware?
If you have flashed the custom recovery (CWM, Philz, TWRP), you can try to load different firmware (copy to SD card first). Worst case, you can use Odin to flash. Unless it is hardware problem, it is not easy to brick the phone.
Thx

Thank you, I flashed the philz touch version for i9505 and it works flawlessly. I installed the Google Stock Rom and it's working. I'll update tomorrow if I got crashes or black screens.
Thank you so much tingtan
Hey guys. Im a new user (posting wise) so I cant post in development, but, I have a few questions.
I just got a Galaxy s4. rooted, installed teamwins recovery, and flashed infamous 6.0.
Att i337 ucuamdl
It flashes fine but at boot it says "System UI has stopped" and upon completing setup i get the "settings stopped" message and kicked back to entering my name. Endless loop.
Ive read earlier in the Infamous thread that this is caused by a lokidoki issue. The dev has stated that lokidoki doesnt need to be flashed anymore, but, I tried flashing it after the rom flash just in case. Still no dice. I've also tried rebooting, reflashing, and flashing lokidoki after and not.
Ive gotten Infamous 3.5 to flash fine but I love the tweaks and lcd density on the 6.0 version. Perhaps Im missing something very obvious?
Any ideas on what I can do to cure this? Thanks for your time guys.
here is the thread and the discussion theyre having.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...304792&page=38
fresh wipe everytime.
UPDATE: Flashed tmobile kernal and tmobile lcd density in the infamous 6.0 aroma installer using CWM from Rom manager. everything went great. Even though i have a i337, the tmobile kernal flashed fine . I loki'ed after the rom flash and it booted fine.
I soft bricked my at&t s4. I had flashed the golden eye rom and it was working fine. but today i woke up and it was at the black screen with white text saying "samsung galaxy s4". dunno why randomly it happened at night. But does this mean i dont have root? cuz ive never seen this screen since i rooted and flashed roms onto the phone. any help would be appreciated.
im using twrp and was using cm10.1 and just changed to golden eye tw rom. any help?

Hey guys. I tried to find similar topic but I couldn't.
I'm facing a problem with my Galaxy S4 i9500. Around a mouth ago I flushed kitkat with odin. After that I rooted it. The phone was working properly until couple of days ago. It start freezing and restarting. 2 days ago couldn't start at all. Stuck on SAMSUNG logo. I tried to flash kitkat again , but it failed. I was able to flash CWM recovery 6.0.3.3-i9500 and clean the cache, delvik cache and tried to restore the manufacturer settings. After rebooting, I see Samsung logo. phone restart and stuck on the Samsung logo again.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thank you.
Doesn't sound like a software problem. I think you have some hardware failure. I don't think it's your power button though, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stay in download mode for more then a few sec.
That doesn't sound good. What hardware problem might be? The phone has never been dropped and always been in a case.

Did you remove all knox related apps when you rooted?
I recommend..flash stock rom.
After that..flash philz and deknox script..
Then reroot via philz itself..(philz options reroot)

Hi, I was directed here from XDA assist.
I searched through the SM-G900* CF-Auto-Root thread and couldn't find a solution for my variant.
I have rooted a few devices, however this is the first time I have encountered a bootloop error.
Specifically I used Odin and ran CF Auto Root (kltemetropcs smg900t1) from Chainfires DL site
chainfire 405 CF-Root
Device is a Galaxy S5 G900T1 (metro pcs) running Lollipop.
Oden successfully completed all threads. Didn't show any errors, however the phone never finished its boot cycle,
it stops at the carrier logo screen.
I noticed that odin deletes any previous files so I tried a second time using the same CFroot, still the same outcome.
I was thinking of doing a factory reset after reading some other forums, or reinstalling factory ROMs though this is getting to the limit on my knowledge.
I'm unsure of what I should try next.
Anyone able to help?
Ok, so I became impatient.
I solved the bootloop issue.
Went into recovery mode and did a factory wipe. (this is the second wipe)
When complete I cleared the cache. (I don't really know if this made any difference)
Still recovery menu I rebooted the phone.
I appeared to bootloop again getting stuck on the carrier logo screen.
I left it alone (yes, out of disappointment) fully expecting I would need to reload factory images.
which being a noob didn't sound appealing.
30 min later I picked it up to find the screen turned on and the phone worked fine.
No root access.
I used another (faster) PC and re-ran Odin with CF auto root.
Phone is now successfully rooted.
its unfortunate that every S5 variant has different exploits for rooting so I hope this helps someone with the same issue.
