update your bootloader and load your recovery via ODIN like you said, this should work

It should, otherwise this method works great if you don't mind using the command line: hxxps://docs.google.com/document/d/1luCfYEjOIH9K4WR8KsCMMFjZ9pXnes7Az41qMgOkrv0/edit

Phone Stuck in a bootloop after flashing Carbon.

Hello,
When i tried to flash the rom carbon all the phone does is sit on the carbon screen will not boot after that.
I just rooted my phone and i have a backup of the phone before i rooted it. But i can not get the phone to boot into the recovery mode. At the top of the screen it says booting recovery but never boots into the recovery mode. I have the Galxay S4 SPH-L720. I have tried to load a stock firmware via odin but its keeps failing.
Any help would be greatly apprieced. like i said i do have a full backup of my phone i just need to get it to boot into the recovery so i can restore it

GT-I9505 Stuck at Boot

I decided to unroot my S4 seeing as though a rom I had flashed was screwing around with my system. I eventually was able to flash a stock rom via kies, but now the phone is stuck at the boot screen (Samsung logo with blue light).
I have tried booting into recovery mode, but for some reason after 5 seconds, it just ignores it and goes into standard boot, something that it has done since I flashed the bad rom.
Would anyone know a fix for this?
Thanks in advance.
An update. I managed to get into recovery mode but instead of the normal android with the blue square, the android is on the ground with a red triangle. I've wiped cache and data, but still getting stuck at the boot screen.
Some help would be appreciated.

There is a 50/50 chance that if you go back into twrp/cwm custom recovery
and do a "factory reset" it would boot up normally unless you also wiped
"system".
Good luck!

Flash a stock firmware using odin in download mode then see if it reboots
If not go to stock recovery after that factory reset and wipe cache reboot

Reformatted /system, can't install new rom

I wanted to completely reformat my phone as my phone was buggy with Cyanogen Mod 12, so I formated everything.
The problem is that my PC was not detecting the drivers when in recovery mode, so I couldn't side-load with ADB, and I have no way of getting a .zip on to it.
I tried re-installing the clockwork mod using ODIN but it would just crash the application. I then tried heimdall and that said it installed it (I was hoping that it would fix adb)
Now I can't boot in to the clockwork mode recovery as it just instantly turns the phone off, however I can just boot normally in to the Galaxy S4 logo screen.
When I'm in the logo screen I do have access to ADB, however my phone is unathorised and I have no way to authorise it.
How can I A) fix clockwork recovery so it works again and B) put a zip on the phone or fix ADB detecting my device in recovery?
If you can get into download mode, flash a full stock ROM via Odin and start again

That worked great, thanks.
no probs, i find it to be a pretty good fall back in case of issues (just annoying reinstalling games etc..)

Phone Stuck in Boot after Clearing Cache

Need Help!!!!
I cleared the cache from Stock recovery (which I do regularly) after that the phone is stuck in the boot at Zenfone logo (dots moving). However it does ask for the password before that and every thing works there, after that it is stuck there forever, nothing happens.
Things I have already tried:
1) Flashing Stock Rom using the Stock Recovery
2) Clearing the Cache again
3) Flashing the updated Stock Rom (Pie)
Able to boot in to recovery and fastboot mode, however bootloader is LOCKED and ADB is DISABLED as well.
Is there any way to recover the data from the phone? It is important for a legal case, and I was not in the position to take the backup, sorry for that.
It would be very greatfull if some once can help me recover this important data or start the phone.
Or should I just go ahead and factory reset the phone?
