[Q] Need Help!!!!!! Phone Stuck at Samsung Logo

I am currently new to all this stuff so i dont have an exact idea what i was doing
First of all i rooted my Device I9500 Which had 5.0.1 Android
then i installed TWRP Recovery and then i was not able to backup any stuff to External SD Card so i installed some Boot.img which i exactly dont remember which i installed from watching any youtube video then later some problem occured It showed some error like "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" then i flashed Philz touch recovery which then worked and i was able to backup my data but i was not able to Boot into my Original ROM or couldnt see an option for that. Then i downloaded The Ozcan V6.3 ROM and tried installing it it succesfully installed but after that its not able to boot uo and stuck at SAMSUNG Logo Screen.
Please Help me What to DO !!!.
Thanks In Advance

If your device can still get into download mode, download the stock Android 5.x image for your device and flash it using Odin. That will get you back to square one so you can start over with rooting and installing the custom ROM.

I had the same problem on my gs4. It would only go to galaxy logo so I flashed the lollipop firmware via odin and all is well.

Just have to flash the default one with Odin ?
i also backed up my old data with philz to my sd card that also and i also downloaded a new Default 5.0.1 ROM ?
Which one should i flash ?
and whats the critera for finding ROMs leaving the model number ? (noob question)

Is the S4 unlocked? If not, what country are you in and what carrier do you have?

My Country is India and its the International Version I9500 and i am not pretty sure that it was unlocked or not .but it was rooted and recovery was installed
Added later :
I just installed recovery back and then tried to install ROM the ROM was also stuck on the Boot Loop I think my boot loader isnt unlocked and ima stuck there because of that

I9500 isnt bootloader locked. And u must be flashing the boot.img on other partition that not in the odin package. So u must search how to repartition ur device. But. U MUST VERY CAREFULL WITH REPARTITION OPTION! U MIGHT BRICK UR DEVICE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT U DOING!. And if u wanna flash recovery and boot.img or bootloader thing. U must ONLY flash for I9500 version!. And if u successfully repartition ur device. U will lose all internal storage too. Ok good luck

You would know if you were carrier unlocked as you'd be able to put a SIM from a different carrier into the S4 and have the device work. To get you the correct ROM we still need to know your carrier.

secure download : enabled
Hi my galaxy s4 gt i9500 is stuck in a bootloop. When is boot I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"... when I boot into download mode I see "secure download : enabled" which wasn't usually there. Am trying to flash the pit file with twrp but Odin is failing.... is it because of the secure download enabled?? Please help me

You can't flash the PIT file with TWRP.
Do you have Odin? Do you have a copy of your stock ROM, downloaded either from Sammobile or samsung updates? If not, you'll need to get them. You then flash the firmware through Odin WITHOUT the PIT file. This should restore your device to operating condition. Afterward, you will of course need to root the S4 and flash a copy of TWRP to be able to install a custom ROM.

Carrier is Airtel

Unable to install custom recovery and flash custom roms on rooted note 3 lte

I am on a UK (vodafone) phone 4.4.2 KK and after rooting with odin and tripping knox (obviously) i installed CWM And TWRP and entered recovery but only after a long time i discovered that the recovery mode i was entering was stock .
In the recovery mode i couldnt find the option to install from zip only the option to install from external storage.
I have downloaded the CM 11 4.4.4 and put it on the external sd card.
In the recovery mode i navigated to the location of the CM 11 zip and attempted to flash it .
It goes through the process and at the end it says something like installation successful but the the phone boots into the normal stock firmware.
After reading a ton of material and articles i have discovered that my bootloader may be locked and this is the reason i cannot install CWM and flash custom roms.
In the end i have 3 questions.
Is there curently a solution to install CWM and flash custom roms on phones with locked bootloders ?
Will i be able to update to lollipop via Kies when is released ?
Will i be able to return my phone to its original state so that the lollipop update when it is released wont detect that the phone has been modified ?
Basically i am stuck. I have a rooted phone with void warranty and unable to install roms because the bootloder is locked ??????
I would really apreciate some help because i have run out of options and the frustration has reached stratospheric levels.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You rooted with ODIN and installed both CWM and TWRP .Thats all wrong odin is not root and you don't flash two recovery s .
You say your bootloader is locked = what model phone do you have .
Its reading as fail read the very basics .
Start at the beginning at for that you need to know what model number you have . You then find the correct root for your model and flash a recovery either CWM or TWRP not both .

Untick auto reboot in Odin when you flash recovery then boot to recovery using three button combo stock ROM rewrites stock recovery when it boots iirc

Flash the correct TWRP for your phone through Odin .
That means a tar version of TWRP for your model .
That fails flash a stock rom via Odin .

You are not following the correct way to flash. That is why the twrp wont stick at recovery.
Follow my advice as follow:
1. Remove battery
2. Odin flash TWRP
see the result

Need help, anyone. Please?

I need help with my Galaxy S5 LTE-A (SM-G906L) I can access recovery and download mode. But cannot pass Samsung logo. (I can't reach Samsung logo) it just restarts and restarts non-stop (it's clearly bootloop. I know) I had flashed 2 official firmware (stock rom) and 2 Custom roms. But still nothing. The only recovery that I can access is Philz CWM Touch Recovery. I have tried lentislte TWRP (I forgot the version but definitely for lentislte) Any one. I need help, please.

I can't enter stock recovery. Any custom or stock recovery doesn't work. Only PhilZ CWM touch recovery worked.

You may need to also flash the pit file and repartition your device
For example this site has firmware with pit files for each firmware for your device

Put the pit file in the section marked pit file in odin
Tick repartition
Put firmware in AP section of odin
Flash any firmware you want for your device that includes the pit file
I gave you a suggestion of firmware in the previous post
G906LKLU1CPL2_LUC1CPL2_V6.0.1_Repair_Firmware_4Files - would be the latest on that site
