Hey there guys. Running into an error here in my flashing endeavors.
I originally rooted my Galaxy Note 3 this past year and traded phones with my dad who opted to try to unroot to stock. In doing so, he called me to fix his mistake of dirty flashing the nc4 firmware right over from eclipse rom I was previously running in nc4. Now when I flashed it with the correct vzw firmware, itistill boots with the 'custom' boot logo (but no option to boot into safestrap) and gets stuck on the verizon splash screen every time even after multiple reflash.
Any help or ideas?
You can odin flash. Nc4 tar files.

I was able to downgrade the phone to NB1 and root it with Towelroot, and used Safestrap in order to get recovery on the device.
After that, I booted into recovery and installed the GPE 5.0.1 ROM.: http://galaxys4root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s4-roms/gpe-android-5-0-1-lollipop-rom-for-galaxy-s4/
Now the phone will not go past the S4 splash page, reboots and then goes into the stock recovery. Ive tried factory reset, clearing cache and removing the battery.
Any help is appreciated. I bought this phone for my fiance and am wanting to give it to her soon as a present.
Thank you so much in advance.
I think the problem is that you downgraded.

I couldnt install towelroot on the 4.4.4 version it came with since it said device wasnt supported.
I was following these instructions: http://www.droidviews.com/root-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337-android-4-4-4-kitkat-firmware-i337ucufnj4/
It states to downgrade, then root, then go back to the 4.4.4. I thought after the steps I took, I could go straight to a custom ROM.
Thanks
I used CF-Auto-Root to root my device. Since towelroot didn't work for me either.
Maybe the rom did not flash right. Try flashing again.
problem in installing lollipop rom india to samsung i9500
I have installed the newly released lollipop rom to my samsung i9500 through odin. it was successfully flashed but the phone cant restart, it stuck with samsung written on the screen and blue light on...what i should do???
Hello all,
I am looking for some advice, on getting my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 working again. I will keep this as short as I can:
I originally had 4.3 rooted with the MK2 firmware, and used Odin to flash my phone to 4.4 NB1, using the ROM in the Guide to Stock/Updating/Rooting thread.
This worked fine, and I was able to boot and use the phone, but my root access was gone.
I tried Towelroot, Kingo, etc... to no success.
I then followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692825 thread to semi downgrade to MK2 and was able to obtain root again. I also installed Safestrap recovery.
At this point I could not successfully boot back into the phone, though I could access Safestrap.
I flashed the stock kernel for NB1 again, but still could not boot.
I then flashed the stock NB1 ROM again.
After this, the phone would show the android icon and a progress bar, then restart, reach the Samsung load screen, start the AT&T load screen and then boot loop.
Once I reached this point, I could no longer access recovery, only download mode.
In my attempts since then. I've found if I stop the phone from ever getting to the Samsung load screen after flashing the stock ROM, I can then access recovery. As soon as I let it boot, I cannot access recovery.
I've flashed the stock ROM multiple times at this point, gotten into recovery and wiped the devices then rebooted multiple times.
I just don't know what else I can do.
Does anyone have any ideas? A place to look? Any help appreciated!
I updated OTA from 4.4.2 to 5.1.1 and now when trying to downgrade back, I bricked it. I flashed the Downgrade_to_NCE.tar (realizing now that i shouldn't have) which ended in a FAIL in Odin. I tried flashing the firmware, still FAIL. When I flashed the OC4 Stock Partitions, it booted up, but got stuck at Samsung splash screen. Now i have tried all sorts of files, including the OneClick.exe and flashing the full firmware from this thread. still, nothing. I have to go on a trip this weekend and really don't want to have a useless phone.
I figured it out. I'm currently back to running VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.
Not sure what I did. I successfully unlocked the bootloader. At that point it was running VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9. Then I went and flashed VZW_QA1_STOCK_ROOTED_DEODEXED.zip. It flashed fine. During boot up it just hung at the red verizon screen. So after 2 attmepts I tried going back to VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9. I flashed it, and then in odin I flashed G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar. It now wont go past the first samsung screen and It seems to have lost safestrap. When going into recovery it gives me the stock recovery. What file can I flash in Odin to get me back up and running? Thanks
Hello all!
I am trying to get my s4 back to working conditions. Earlier last night i went within SuperSu and did the full unroot then I restarted the device. When i restarted the device i was stuck on the AT&T logo. I tried to go into recovery but somehow twrp was deleted. I have been having issues flashing twrp back onto the device. Does anyone know a way to help me unbrick my phone?
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Note device is using 5.0.1...cant remember if its stock or custom. But im pretty sure its just a stock rooted phone.
You can't flash TWRP when the phone is running a stock 5.01 bootloader.
