While in the process of restoring a backup on my rooted Galaxy s5 I wiped everything and forgot to install a rom in safestrap. now I cannot get the safestrap splash screen to load up again to install a rom. Is there a way to side boot a rom or just reset the whole device and get me back to normal?? thanks and please help!
This can be closed. I just flash a stock tar in Odin and everything looks good.

Ok so first off I was successful in rooting the phone, installing twrp rec., flashing loki files, and then flashing wicked rom with ktweaker tw kernel. I made a backup of the stock rooted rom before wicked was flashed. Then my troubles started when I wanted to go back to my stock backup. The rom booted but has serious issues like black screen with only status bar working and then eventually freezing. I also made a backup of a working wicked and tried restoring that but then I just get stuck in boot loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what twrp version
did you wipe all before restoring
you could try to install Phils cwm recovery, folks say it works great and will restore twrp backups also

Follow full wipe procedures, have the same recovery you made the backup with, and try again.

I flashed the stock firm. Soft brick averted. Did the same goo manager recovery method, but now i'm thinking of flashing that cwm as ppl have reported the same nandroid backup issues with twrp. My version is 2.5.0.2. I will keep trying to get twrp for a while with others users till i get sick of it (semi twrp fan). Any further advice would be cool. Oh and I did a factory twrp wipe the first time this problem occurred.
I wipe data caches and system before flashing. No more advice. Had newest TWRP hang on Team Win screen. Several manual reboots into recovery till it worked. Maybe I better do restore to see if it works.

Hi everyone this is my first post, if there is a better place for this in the forum lmk.
My device is a
Samsung Galaxy S4 on Ting which is a Sprint MVNO
SPH-L720 on 4.3 JB
I have gotten myself into a Boot Loop last night trying to restore from backup after "successfully" flashing CyanogenMod custom ROM. The reason I wanted to go back to stock was because none of my data was part of the ROM. This was my first time rooting and flashing a rom and I need help to get back to stock with or without my backup. These are the steps I took to get myself where I am at. I can't post links, I used the videos from qbking77 to do all this.
I used odin on windows to root [Qbking77 on youtube]
I also used GooManager on playstore for TWRP Recovery [Qbking on youtube]
I then used TWRP to create a backup.
I used the GooManager app to DL a cyanogen ROM and a Gapps package.
I installed the 2 zips using TWRP and wiped before I did. The flash works and the ROM works but I want to go back to stock and possibly unroot. I can access download recovery and TWRP but when I try to restore my backup it gets stuck into the samsung booting screen.
I didn't disable KNOX with the SU permission, do I boot up cym again to disable it ?
Does a Restore from backup using TWRP take a couple hours and should I not interrupt the samsung boot screen ?
I only have 800mb space on internal, how do I clear up space for the firmware flash through odin in download recov [QBking77 on youtube]
Thank you for reading, I really need the help
I have an empty sd card in there but how should I clear space for manually installing 4.3 JB when my internal has only 800mb.
I got it back to stock with a 4.3 JB firmware install with an odin v1.85, still can't put up links. I might leave this up for archive and I don't expect to be back on here for a while.
I debugged until my fingernail bled, no lie.

Hi,
I think you can use Odin and flash your ROM via USB.
Do you have a backup ROM?

Ok so installed lolipop rom and i wanted to go back to TW ROM so i went into twrp recovery and did a restore for a backup i did. But when it booted up it was frozen at the white t-mobile screen, basically bootloop. HELP!!!
Hi there,
Please help me. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505.
It was rooted and had custom rom installed with Kitkat 4.4. The custom rom was Echoe S5 Port.
I did a full backup of the system and rom before trying to install a different rom.
I attempted to install Albe95 LolliRom version 9.0. I followed all instructions and installed the Modems and bootloader.
Installed the rom, however after rebooting it hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505" screen. (not the Samsung logo screen)
So I decided to go back to my backup. Wiped data, cache etc and restored through TWRP. - Successful
Reboots fine, able to use the phone as normal, however the second reboot hangs on the "Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505" screen.
I even tried a fresh install of the Echoe S5 port rom and it does the same thing on the second reboot.
I can get into TWRP recovery fine.
All roms were used from this forum.
Let me know if there is any further information required.
Please advise a way forward to recover my phone, thanks.
Try a different bootloader would be my first suggestion.

No luck, tried various different bootloaders for my model.
I suggest flashing back to a completely stock ROM from sammobile.com and set up the phone to ensure that all functions are working. If everything is fine on a stock ROM, then I would flash TWRP and try to restore the backup.

Just flashed back to stock ROM.
Still stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505" screen.
I'm almost in same situation and it made me to ask you: Did you try to use Odin to flash the ROM?
After flashing a stock ROM with Odin, did you perform a factory wipe in stock recovery before booting the phone for the first time?
