I have an international I9505. Stock rom rooted with cf auto-root and twrp 2.5.
I have been using it since I first got it at launch date. Just a while ago, I took out my microsd card without unmounting it first. I restarted my phone. Now, whenever I try to turn on my phone, it will show the Samsung S4 logo and then stuck at black screen. After that it will auto bootup again but to twrp recovery. I can't seem to boot it normally.
Any solution that I can do right now? Other than flashing it with original stock rom.

First just try doing an advanced wipe with cache and dalvik cache checked.
If that doesn't work I'm just letting you know if you flash the stock firmware via odin you will not lose any data, just root and you can easily re-root your phone.

Thanks. My phone is back to normal now.
•Please take time to read•
So first, I changed into cyanogenmod, it was successful though my sister didn't liked its "style" so I had to restore the stock firmware of jellybean 4.3 (XXUEMJ5_I9505OLBEMJ5_I9505XXUEMJ5_HOME.tar.md5) so i did a factory reset from the cyanogenmod settings and then flashed(it said my root access was lost after factory reset) using ODIN, everything went fine in the process in flashing, after my s4 reset 1st time a droid with a spinning thing on its tummy appears with the loading bar on its bottom and then resets once again I thought it was already good but my s4 was stuck on the SAMSUNG logo the blinking one. And then I downloaded a new stockrom the 4.2.2 (I9505XXUBMG5_I9505OLBBMG1_I9505DXUBMG5_HOME.tar and which was my original firmware the XXUBMG5), tried to flash using ODIN but it failed during the process, I'm about to download a new copy of the 4.2.2 version from the same site i downloaded from maybe it was corrupt?. Please help, me and my friend have done all things like using KIES that doesn't recognize my phone anymore, downloading stock recovery and such non works and so does my recovery mode after I access it, my s4 i9505 immediately restarts by itself after releasing my fingers and a lot of battery pulls. No luck please help me. I'm from the Philippines with an unlocked phone, International so I downloaded the XTE Region correct me if I'm wrong .
Please provide instructions if you have time .
After installation you have done this in the recovery mode wipe data factory reset and wipe cache partition
(can try with custom recovery - wipe and flash again)

Thank you very much ))))))) now it's working again, I forgot that entering recovery mode takes a while now my depression is lot ahahha
I have made a mistake which was was to use TWRP Manager (ROOT) to update my recovery, it found latest update then
1. i followed on screen instructions to install it, phone rebooted and got stuck in downloading mode
2. i had to hook it up to my PC to run odin and flash my original hltespr-recovery-4.4.img
3. phone then rebooted and booted successfully, i then tried to reboot into recovery (to make sure it works ok now) and phone gone into downloading mode
4. i had to repeat step 2
My phone is working fine as long as i dont try and access my recovery, i really dont want to wipe my phone and start again.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Why don't you just reflash the twrp for your variant with Odin?
Don't use any apps to do the dirty work for you. The safest way is always best which is PC Odin.

thats what i did in step 2
Retry to flash twrp but in odin, untick auto reboot. After flashed, force reboot from download mode to recovery mode yourself
If roslis idea works then good. In case you need more do a rom reflash with odin and reset to ? state. Then try twrp again. Maybe some files left that mess with it.
My N910G that wont boot!
If I flash the latest TWRP I can access recovery mode and flash any ZIP however when the phone reboots after the installation of the new ROM, it always eventually gets suck on the NOTE 4 Logo after booting onto the Samsung Logo. I can access the the partitions in TWRP when I go to individually wipe them. I've noticed sometimes the phone doesn't remember when tick the checkbox for "dont show this message again" the first time you've booted into TRWP.
Things I've tried:
Full restore using the latest N910G firmware. (XSA-N910GDTS1DPH1-20160728112745)
Using the PIT file for a N910G and restoring the full original firmware
Clicking "NAND Erase All" in Odin and using the PIT file for a N910G and restoring the full original firmware.
Every time I do anyone of the above options the phone reboots then goes into stock recovery where it works for a little bit then restart and eventually gets stuck on the Samsung logo or reboots and gets stuck on the Note 4 Logo.
Any help would be MUCH MUCH appreciated, if anyone can help me get the phone working again I will gladly buy them one month to samsung-firmware.org or pay them the equivalent into palpay.

This information has something to do? Can it help you?

After installing a new Rom, remove and put back battery. Then go to Recovery and do Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe cache. Reboot and wait, it will take a few minutes before rebooting.
This will erase though all your previous data from your old Rom.

Thanks for your help I tired it on two different versions of Odin and every time it fails (from all my flashing on this phone this is the only time I've seen it fail). So we might be on the right track or the phone is beyond software repair

I've tried doing that
hi, Im actually on crdroid and I need to go back to stock samsung firmware
I downloaded G900FXXS1CPK1_G900FITV1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPJ1_HOME.tar and I tried to flash using odin
stuck at SAMSUNG logo after rebooting (for a split of a second I can see a dead android with NO COMMAND written before SAMSUNG logo)
go back to recovery /(which is not TWRP anymore) and wiped data and cache. nothing has changed
I now have installed crdroid again but I need to go back to official samsung, somebody can help?
where did you get the tar file from? did it say completed in Odin?
from updato.com and odin sais PASS with green color
EDIT is there, maybe, a custom rom from original samung firmware?
wiping data and cache from recovery not enough, do a factory reset then if still a no go redo odin fw flash

a factory reset is just wiping system, cache and dalvik in essence. I always do a factory reset, wipe cacke, dalvik and system 3x each and delete the android folders if im just flashing a new ROM. Plus, hes doing an Odin flash, so wiping shouldnt be necessary, but deleting the android folders should still be needed

get it from sammobile.com/firmwares. Thats the only real place to get them. everywhere else can have untrusted files
odin does not wipe/reset
in stock recovery iirc theres no wiping data, so reset needs to be done, its solved many fw updates/downgrades issues via either ota or odin.
i usually wipe everything(Dalvik, System, Data, Cache) via twrp b4 flashing w/odin
while I'm downloading from sammobile (sloooooooooow), I'm tring to flash fw again
I'm still getting SAMSUNG logo problem...
tried wiping again cache... nothing
flashed TWRP and did wipe factory reset... again, same issue.
I did a full wipe before flash

the sammobile d/l does take FOREVAAAAR!!! but wait for that to complete and try it. im betting that your other tar.md5 was corrupt
15 minutes to go....
steps I did:
1: via TWRP wiped EVERYTHING
2: connected to PC in download mode and flashed the firmware via ODIN 3.12
3: booted in recovery and wiped data/factory reset and cache partition
4: reboot and...... seems to work fine (feared for a moment, took almost 20 minutes to start apps optimization)
