I would try installing a different kernel, Adam kernel by wanam works good for me.

Also I would use ktoonsez latest version of twrp.

And if all else fails, I would re-download the rom, just in case it is a bad download.

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
I really hope someone here can help me. I'm running an SGH-1337M (Rogers). I rooted the device a number of months ago with Motochopper and installed Foxhound ROM GT-i9505 (which every guide says works with the SGH-1337M). I've been running this rom for quite a while without issues. Yesterday I I installed Cyanogenmod (cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-jfltecan) which worked, until I rebooted the device. When I reboot the phone gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot logo. I've booted into TWRP and tried to reinstall the Foxhound rom which was working but end up with the same results. I've used Kies Firmware upgrade to try and set everything back to default without sucess. Using Odin I tried to reinstall a factory image of my phone, which is sucessfull except nothing changes.
Currently, if using TWRP I do a full wipe of my phone and then install Cyanogenmod it'll work, so long as I don't reboot. If I reboot I need to do a full wipe, reinstall the rom and start all over.
I'm at a complete loss here. I've spent the last 5 hours looking for a solution to this problem without success. Any help is greatly appriciated.
Thanks

After you did odin, you must do a factory reset. This should clear up the problem. And, are you using the correct kernel for cyan?
I just flashed this rom successfully yesterday. The rom was stable and working, however I wanted to get the hotspot to work. I used a hotspot mod on a previous 4.3 rom, so I tried it again on this rom. I flashed the MDC Hotspot Mod while in Philz Touch 5.18 recovery. After flashing the hotspot mod, I reboot the system and it is stuck at the "Kit Kat" splash screen. I went back to recovery, wiped everything (data reset, cache, davlik cache) and reinstalled the rom and it seemed to work fine. However, I wanted to get the hostpot working so later in the night I reinstalled a 4.3 rom, and now I can not get any rom to work. When I boot up I am not faced with the Galaxy S4 screen saying:
KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: kernel
It will not go to the Kit Kat splash screen, I can get to download mode and recovery mode. I tried completely re-rooting the device, Installing different roms and even a different kernel, but I can't seem to get anything to work. At this point, I just need my phone to work and will use any rom. I don't think this is a fully bricked device because I can get into recovery and download mode. I can live without hotspot for now, just need a working phone. If anyone can advise here or help please reply here or email me at [email protected]. This is my daily driver phone and I need it to work, hopefully it is an easy fix like getting a stock 4.4 kernel? BTW this was a brand new galaxy s4 which came with stock 4.4, so I am not sure if installing 4.3 had an issue with it. Maybe using ODIN to fix the problem, I am not sure. I have successfully rooted many phones including HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO 3D and Galaxy S4( until now) and have never ran into this issue. Please advice anyone!! Thanks!
RE: S4 Sac Rom Issue Please Help
I ran into a similar problem and my device would not boot. I simply just reflashed clockwork 6.0.4 recovery from Odin and was able to get back into recovery to wipe and reflash a new rom. Hope this helps. Note: I selected PDA in Odin. Here is a tutorial to get recovery back.

Hi I need desperate help
two days ago I went from CM11 to S4I9505 Google Play Edition ROM 5.0.1 and everything was running perfectly. Today I used an app known as "ROM Installer" to flash TWRP easily which it did but I couldnt go back to normal menus and it kept on booting back to Recovery. So I wiped everything and installed the same ROM as it is in my External SD. It was successful but it still would boot to recovery and nothing would work. So I thought my option was to unroot the phone. I used the XDA Unroot/Unbrick guide and used an Android 5.0. Lollipop firmware to flash the stock firmware (second time every using Odin, the first was disastrous and I hated it). I flashed the official stock and it is running but cannot activate WiFi what so ever. It just refuses to toggle. So I reflashed the stock firmware again and it still doesn't work. I was thinking of somehow downgrading to KitKat, use CM Installer which is how I initially rooted the phone and revert to a CWM backup that I made before I flashed the S4 GPE ROM and start over. However I tried using that CM Installer and since im on Lollipop it would refuse to work and I really wanna get back to how everything was before :'( I really dont know what to do (No warranty or anything on this S4) All I can do is make calls and texts. Please help!
fixed!
I've fixed it! Its all back on stock with the all that bloatware and useless features only problem now is whether there is a way to deleted this thread
Hi. I’ve got a customer with a j5 that I factory reset as she was having problems with it. But now it will only boot to TWRP which must have been installed before she bought it.
I’ve tried sourcing a stock android but with no luck so I tried a few Roms from here today. I can’t get it to work at all! Here’s what Happens.
From twrp I install CM rom and gapps. When I reboot the phone an orange line appears across the screen followed by the Samsung logo. Then the screen starts fading to green. The screen is in full working order when using twrp.
Does anyone have any ideas?!
Thanks

More than likely that version of twrp is outdated get a .IMG file of twrp version 3.2.1 and flash the image in twrp. Use this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/recovery-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3769408/page5
If that isn't the problem and the problem you have persists than you have either flashed the wrong version file as there is several types of galaxy j5 with different hardware,
Or the bootloader you have on the phone is the wrong version ie. it has marshmallow bootloader and your trying to flash a ROM that only supports lollipop or vice versa. Links for both bootloaders are here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...5-1-1-bootloader-modem-j500xx-t3566801/page14
This should fix your issues hope it helped
