Flash back to Official Stock firmware by PC Odin.
By the way:
This is Development section.
Might try clearing cache or a factory reset otherwise, check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28481954&postcount=1

Thanks a bunch but I've downloaded and tried to flash these files and the problem is once the flash process reaches the completion of the install the device will auto reboot and again stop at the boot flash screen.
Even when I try to clear data and factory reset it immediately reboots and stuck again. I hope Samsung has a way to override everything and reinstall the stock firmware.

Device Stuck at Boot Screen

Hey guys this has been very frustrating for me , I do not know what I am doing wrong
I unrooted my phone using Odin
I then install CWM from the App itself
I have an unlocked 1337m
I just cant seem to get any rom to work , I know how to flash them properly they all just hang at the boot screen. I tried SHOstock and that hung , I also tried OMEGA from the i9505 section and that hung at the same spot. The only successfully flashes were MIUI and some other random stock based rom. Did i miss a step ?
Thanks alot
Go back into recovery and do a factory reset, after odin you must do a factory reset.
Thank you

Reverted from CM 10.2 to stock 4.4, Stuck in a bootloop

Hey, I had CM10.2 which for some reason caused me a lot of troubles with battery and wifi so I Decided to revert to stock 4.4. I downloaded the stock from google and I installed it with the fastboot through the command prompt. But for some reason, the phone just won't turn on, it goes into the KitKat boot animation and just gets stuck there forever. What should I do?
I already tried wiping cache and it didnt really help...
Thanks!
Try a factory reset from the stock recovery.
All of the images flashed successfully without any problems?

All of the images were flashed successfully, but if I do a factory reset, what will it exactly do? won't it erase litterally anything I Have and then I will stay out of options? I have never done a factory reset so I dont really know. If I have a CM 10.2 flashable ZIP on my storage, will it stay there after the Factory reset? Because every time I have a problem with a certain rom I just flash back to the CM 10.2

It will wipe all user data including the internal storage. Basically the phone will be exactly how it was from the factory. So yes, the cm10.2 that you have will be gone after the factory reset.
But I'm pretty confident that doing a factory reset will get the phone to boot.

A factory reset does indeed wipe everything on your phone. You're learning the hard way why it is a good idea to periodically back up your phone.
The best thing about doing a factory image reset is that you start from a know good point. If the ROM you want to use is based on 4.4, then use the 4.4 factory image. Likewise if the ROM is based on 4.4.2 then use that factory image.

Maybe you've got the same issue that I just described here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595057
edit : apparently nothing to do with the radio afterall
Guys Thanks you so much I did a factory reset and my phone is now working all good with 4.4.2
Just a question, Is my phone still rooted after a factory reset?

No. It was no longer rooted after flashing the stock images.
But getting root back isn't that hard. Just install a custom recovery and flash the latest supersu.

[Q] Quick Question about factory reset

Doing a factory reset leaves my phone rooted and bootloader unlocked correct?
If i where to factory reset my nexus 4 which has CM 11 installed, would i be back on stock rom? Can I then flash the factory image for lollipop?

If you have CM11 installed you'll still have it once reset as it's the ROM that's in permanent memory

How do I remove CM11 ? I've been having problems with calls not going through and I think it has something to do with it.
If you flash another rom it will cover anyway the CM11.
So you can flash the stock or any other rom you want.

Unsuccesful with unrooting

Hi
I was on RamRom with my N910F an did go back to stock. Flashed in Odin, everything went ok, but now I'm stuck in bootloop. I know I forgot to wipe before going into Odin, maybe that's the problem. I have flashed the NEE Marshmallow.
Anyone know how to solve this?
Thx in advance

After flash stock firmware immediately go to recovery and do wipe cache/wipe data factory reset and reboot wait 5 to 10 minutes
Hopefully it will boot
