My phone originally was using omega rom and philz recovery. I accidentally pressed the "remove recovery flash" while in philz recovery when I was trying to reboot the phone. My phone couldn't boot to os nor recovery, but download mode still works. So I tried to flash custom recovery again but it does not work. Tried flashing stock rom and kernel but recovery does not work. However, the phone is now able to boot to os but the screen color gone wrong. The whole screen is purple-ish when in os.
How can I get back recovery and also solve the purple problem?
Maybe try using a different recovery, at least to get back to stable? I've used TWRP and OUDHS via Odin, and both work well.

Thanks alot! Finally able to enter recovery. Spent quite a long time trying to flash different roms etc.
Now trying to solve the purple problem....
Edit: Everything working fine now.
I had Mint Jelly2.1 installed and everything was working fine.
it started when I had used the APK Hide It Pro. I was in the process of hiding videos and I noticed that my phone got rebooted and got stock in the Samsung boot up image with the Custom Lock image.
I tried nandroid restore, 2 images, but both also failed to restore / bootup.
I tried re-installing ROM and it was successful but during reboot, it will still get stock on the boot image.
Last step.
I used ODIN to restore the stock ROM and ODIN was able to install and reset. And my phone rebooted but still got stock on the Samsung Logo with CUstom Lock Screen.
What else can I do to fix this?
Thank you.
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. I assume you now have 3e stock recovery because of ODIN. This might or might not help. If you have any questions about recovery, please use the search function for information. If for some reason you still have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), try re-flashing an AT&T ROM and Kernel again. Everything you try is at your own risk. Good luck.

I had tried to restore/flash from recovery before ODIN and it all Failed.
Anyway, the last step ODIN restore and it was still stock at the Samsung Logo with Lock image.
I left the phone to charge the whole night and this morning when I turned it on, it was able to start properly with ODIN stock ROM.
I tried to go to recovery, and can only be done manually, and it was not the TWRP recovery but the stock one, with very small characters.
I tried to install Mint Jell2.1 right away but just reboots.
I realized that I might need to root it again and downloaded the Tool and re-loki'ed/rooted and installed TWRP.
Now, I am able to install Mint Jelly 2.1 and restoring all my apps.
I appreciate the comment.
Thank you.

Yeah, every single time I ODIN back to stock, I get stuck at the splash screen also. And rebooting to 3E (factory) recovery and "restore factory defaults" works great.

I am running out of options. I thought I am already out of this stuck on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock icon.
I had ODIN to stock I337UCUAMDL and reset, Ran Loki patch / installed TWRP, intermittently it will get stuck.
I flashed Shoshock 1.9, was able to reboot and setup basic settings.
I manually reboot to check if it was able to fix the problem, but no.
I am stuck again and don't know what is the next step for trouble shooting it.
any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I got stuck to 1st boot image of Samsung with Lock Custom Icon.
I did format data/factory reset/clear cache/dalvik.. all of the wipe ootions.
I flashed a new ROM, successful, rebooted pass the logo and booted fine. I did not change any settings yet and I rebooted to check if it will get stuck again and sure after reboot, it got stuck again on the 1st image that shows up : Samsung Logo with the Lock Custom Icon.

Hey Guys,
I just rooted my i9505 via CF-Auto-Root and it worked like a charm. The next thing I did was to flash Philz Recovery, at first it auto reboot and it never went into recovery, so I followed the steps to re-flash it without the auto reboot and force it into recover. It loaded into Philz Recovery perfectly fine, now when I reboot, it gave me the option to disable auto flash recovery, so I selected yes.
After that I was never able to get into Recovery Mode ever again. All it does is says Recovery Booting in the top left corner and then restarts and loads into the OS. I followed the steps again to re-flash Philz with auto reboot unchecked and it still failed to get into recover. I then tried CWM and TWRP (via Odin), but all of these gave me the same problem and failed to get into recover.
I then tried SGS4 Flasher but still the same question.
Anyone here who has this problem before and know the fix or is able to recommend another method?
Was able to fix it. Had to flash the original stock Recovery back on and then re-flash a custom recovery. Not sure what happen but was able to install TWRP on without an issue, maybe something in Philz Recovery that stuffed it up.
OK! Looks like it is not working correctly. For me to get access to a custom recovery, I have to flash the stock recovery via Odin and then flash a custom recovery to get it working EVERYTIME. It will boot into Philz, CWM and TWRP only once, then you need to flash stock recovery and do the process all over again.
So it looks like the recovery gets over written each time even if you select "yes - disable flash recovery" in Philz Recovery. Anyone know of another way to disable flash recovery?

with a root explorer, go to system/recovery-from-boot.p and rename it to recovery-from-boot.p.bak

Thanks for responding samersh. To lessen the pain of constantly flashing the recovery via Odin on my PC, I bought Mobile Odin Pro. However, it looks like when I flashed using Mobile Odin Pro, it fixed my issue.
I checked \System\ and there was no recovery-from-boot.p there. So it is confirmation that this has been fixed. Thanks again for responding.
Here's the rundown on my phone right now.
I'm rooted on 4.2.2. I have TWRP v2.6.0.0 installed.
Whenever I try to flash a ROM, I always get caught on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot screen.
Whenever this happens, I usually just revert to my backup. I have also tried going back to stock and rerooting and then installing the recovery again and then flashing CM10. I always get stuck on the same screen.
Any help with this?

Use a different recovery version of twrp. The newer ones been buggy. Use the 2.5.0.2 version
Hi. Writing from my Phone now. Im running cm 11. I installed or flashed philz touch...
Then installed cm11.
I want to do a nandroid backup..
But when i tried restarting to recovery, it skipped that part and went to cm11..
Normal reboot.
Before i flashed cm i had latest stock rom from samsung.
I flashed philz touch that time to..
But when i then installed cm, something went wrong, got some error on cm.
Uid's something. Forgot. I could not boot in recovery, so i used odin, flashed philz touch.
Factory reset and my Phone was fine!
Cm and recovery.
Now it seems i cant get into recovery again...
Anyone know whats the issue?
Locked bootloader? Have not read up on that yet...
Its wierd if recovery just fails or whats the issue.
Pardon the blurry explenation and my bad english/spelling. Im tired.
Thanks in advance.
It was the Quick boot app. Since i set developer options in cm to restart into recovery through CyanogenMod.
But the Buttons did not work last time i tried.
But its kinda solved. Flashed the latest recovery with rashr yesterday...
So i will just use cm to boot into recovery..
Thanks anyways.
