[Q] Can't flash any ROM - help?

Hi there.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 and I’m using TWRP Recovery 6.0.4.4.
I tried to flash a nightly-version of CyanogenMod (cm-10.2-20131101-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip). I did a Factory Reset before flashing, TWRP said it had been successful.
When I tried to boot my phone, I can see the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 GT-I9505" logo, here it got stuck. I can not see the cyanogen boot animation.
Though MD5 hashes and file sizes are ok, I tried another ROM: SuperNexus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407616
Here it was exactly the same. My device gets stuck even before the boot animation.
I was so desperate, that I tried to format my complete internal storage. Flashing the ROMs was successful again, I could boot both ROMs CM and Supernexus then. But after I turned off my device I can't boot any more. Again I can not see the boot animation.
I have already tried it with PhilZ and CWM. I flashed them using my current recovery.
Any advice?
I am sorry for my English, if you need more detailed explanation, please ask. I tried to describe everything as detailed as I can.
Can you get into download mode? You may have to flash a stock ROM to get it to working again. Was the phone previously rooted?
And are you currently on a stock ROM or coming from a custom ROM?
Yeah, I can get into Download mode.
Well, I am not sure what ROM I'm currently using since I wiped everything. Previously I had FoxHound ROM, samsung-based pre-rooted custom ROM.
Have you tried flashing a custom Kernel?
Sounds like what I had when I tried to flash a TW Kernel for a AOSP ROM.
If you can't get into recovery, go into download mode and flash the latest CWM. Got my phone working.
FoxHound ROM installed a custom Kernel, "Ausdim Kernel" I think.
Now I have CWM 6.0.3.2 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279579
Not sure if this is the latest version ... I can't find an Odin-flashable *.tar
Anyway it doesn't work too. This recovery can't even flash CM, it gets stuck at "opening update package ..."
Sorry its a bit late.

Use them. This may help as a tutorial to follow loosely but that was for non working WiFi.

[Q] [Help] Can't flash a recovery

Hi,
I currently have CWM 6.0.4.4 installed on my d802 but I can't update it.
I have tried flashing using this tool:
CWM 6.0.4.7
TWRP 2.7.0.0
CWM Touch 6.0.4.4
I also tried flashing with ROM Installer.
In every case, the flash seems to work fine, but I reboot to recovery and it's still CWM 6.0.4.4 and nothing has changed. I've tried factory reset, wiping cache (dalvik too), yet it didn't make a difference.
If it matters, I'm currently using CM 10.2-20131110-NIGHTLY-d802.
The point of this is because I get an error when I try to flash a kitkat rom (e.g. CM 11.2) and I assume I need to update recovery.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

OH MY GOD I had Root Access set to Apps Only in Dev options. I feel like an idiot.
Thanks anyway Art, at least Flashify made me realise there was an issue with root.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you cannot install custom recovery on kitkat that way the only way is to downgrade(to 10b on d802), root, recovery and flash the following thread has a small guide on how http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681205

[H] Status 7 AT&T

Welp...I was on the KVT49L CM Edition ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2763102) and I was running OUDHS CWM recovery 1.0.3.4. Decided to try to get F2FS running, so I downloaded the custom TWRP that ktoonsez had made to enable F2FS and zip flashed from inside OUDHS 1.0.3.4, and then when I tried to install KVT49L, it gives me status 7. So, I decided to roll back and re-flash the OUDHS 1.0.3.4 .zip, which worked; but it now also now gives me Status 7, even for CM11. The only rom I can successfully install is http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d.../10761-slim-jflte-4-4-2-build-5-official-4050
Any help would be appreciated as I am in the dark.
Status 7 basically means that cwm thinks you are flashing something not meant for your device. Try flashing after deleting the assert scripts in the Rom zip

[Q] Stuck in Bootload with any ROM

Hi there,
I installed CM a while ago via App + Wininstaller. Yesterday I wanted to install PAC ROM instead to my N4 but I got stuck in bootloop. So I tried many different ROMS - AOKP, CM and even Stock-ROM (4.4.4) but everytime I got stuck in a bootloop.
So far I managed to recover it with the toolkit and I got Stock-ROM again. After that I followed Step-by-Step rooting-Guide, installed CWM/TWRD (I tried both) and again: Bootloops... I checked the MD5s and everything was okay. Once after Toolkit Recovery I got various errors in TWRD when trying to install via ZIP (tried SD-Card and sideload) like "unable to open zip" or "can't write to /tmp/"...
Well I realy like to try PAC ROM instead of CM but at this point the only possibility for a custom rom is CM via the installer-combo (apk/windows).
Any suggestens?
