im kinda new to the whole rooting/rom thing, i rooted my s4 successfully, but when i went to install the rom i thought it was on my usb retardedly, so i wiped my phone, hooked up the usb, and it wasnt there. it said my phone was unrooted and asked me if i wanted to instal s2 to root it i hit yes, and now the phone wont boot up past samsung galaxy s4 home screen. i was using TWRP but it wont even open ... help me please im freakin out, prolly broke my phone i just bought it a week ago.
edit: okay so after trying like 15x twrp finally opened up. i put the backup i made onto my pc. do i just load it onto my usb, hook it up and go twrp > restore > usb-otg and restore it?
edit2: i go to restore but it shows nothing in my usb.
im freaking out again help please >.< do i need a file to install/where can i get it to get back to stock?
Download Odin and a rom in .tar format. Hold the volume down and power button to go into download mode. Then connect to usb and see the com port pop up, then select the pda tab and browse to the tar file. Then flash that. It will install stock firmware and recovery or rooted firmware and custom recovery based on what tar file you download.
If that sounds like too much to take in, and I suck at writing this kind of stuff up, do a YouTube search for sprint s4 unbrick/unroot and it should show all the steps.

Yea you should return to Stock Firmware. It should solve your issue.
Always, read and double check, even triple check before you mess with your phone. You should be alright if you follow previous post instructions.

Firstly b calm.
Panicking wont help.jst do as the op said. Flashing ur way thru odin.
Before that do double check the version dat it support ur device.pay attention to this.n do calmly.
N the more u try more r d chances of getting thru the prob.
Do search for s4 backup n restore it.
Or repair via kies.
Keep posted
Good luck.

The kernel is already inside the tar file that is inside the zip, the kernel is just there if you need stock MF9 kernel. If you can go back to stock with odin theres no need for kies.

Hi after few search on both google and xda forum im a bit lost.
I have currently and s4 from Bell (sgh-i337m version) and i flash few custom rom and now i trying to get back to factory default.
and i mean for warrenty check.
- i have used lasted bell i337m firmware from sammobile and flashed it with odin
- Did a ch-autoroot for jfltecan from chainfire to root it
- Downloaded triangleway app to reset flash counter
but when i run triangle away app from app store it reboot to download mode instead of recovery as it should do.
so when i reboot the phone manualy it but in recovery with triangle away splash screen saying no triangle away reset data.
i press volume up anyway and it say reset sucessfull.
then i reboot and use full unroot from superSU and i use phone factory reset but phome still say from menu - status: Device status: Custom
Any idea of this ?
Used to own a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for 5 month and did this procedure lot of time (like 30 time) and it alway worked like a charm but doesnt work now
I'm not sure triangle away works on this device... Lemme do some research.

yes just fresh downloaded from play store
Once triangle away sends you into download mode you have to hold the power button for 10 full seconds. Are you doing that?

Hi all. I have my phone rooted and TWRP installed. However, I wiped my system after installed TWRP. Fortunately I installed back a rom "Clean ROM" by ADB sideload but after that whenever I press "reboot system". It brings me back to TWRP bootloader. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? My phone is ATT LG G2. I will be thankful if someone save my phone!
Hopefully you can load the backup you took...supposing you used TWRP to follow file numero uno. Not being sarcastic but all these developments are new and potentially dangerous.

I am a newbie :crying: I was actually on stock rom and installed TWRP. However, I couldn't reboot back to system after I flashed an img file by flashify. I was stuck at TWRP bootloader. I thought there was something wrong so that I attempted to wipe data if I could go back to system. unfortunately I wiped SYSTEM and got stuck at TWRP. Therefore, I installed back a rom to my phone by adb sideload to see if I could have my phone back. And It turn back to the first problem I had. Cannot reboot to system again. I am wondering if it is a problem of TWRP or the rom that I installed. :crying:
Try following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

For the first solution, ADB cant read the rom somehow :crying: And I am going to try the second one. It takes me 10 hours to download the rom tho Thanks for helping me anyway
Use LGtools to restore to stock
I bricked my bootloop many times and this tool will replace all files like the iPhone DFU mode does or like Odin on Samsung, there is a few steps involved so read and re-read.

hope it helps.
no need to kdz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
everyone go and read development forum, lots of useful stuff
Also maybe you should get a download manager like FDM top assist with download speeds. And always MD5 them before flashing so things like this are less likly to happen.

im getting scared here, i tried that and it failed, right now im trying to do a firmware recovery in kies 3 to see if it will work so lets pray....
got it to work via kies
i have the same problem. can not root, it stuck, can not install ofiicial rom it stuck too but installing cwm with odin allows phone to open and work
Hello, I know for a fact that there are other "help me! I bricked my note 3" threads out there, but I have concluded that I find myself in quite a specially convoluted situation.
All the following occurred with me coming from a stock 4.3 rooted rom.
My story begins when I attempted to flash Fre3 4.4.2 ROM using TWRP. The rom included the"beastmode" kernel. Well, after flashing I ended up stuck in the bootloader screen with a "Set warranty bit: kernel" error. Being such a huge noob as I am, I googled for a solution to this, and I ended up with a flashable .zip that was supposed to fix such kernel issue, upon inspection of the zip file I found a clean_efs.sh script. Then again, being such a noob I had no Idea what "efs" meant, and against my better judgement, I had flashed it anyway..
Long story short the previous made me end up with a bootloop, which prompted me to restore my nandroid from my stock 4.3 rom... At first It would give me an error regarding the MD5 checksums, it prompted me to disable md5 verification, which WAS disabled, yet the same error persisted..
As a last resort I tried to use ODIN 3.07 with the stock 4.3 release, it was flashed successfully, but as soon as it got to the "Sprint" bootlogo, it would reboot itself into an infinite loop.. Afterwards I tried to do a data/wipe/factory reset form the stock recovery which was done successfully. Afterwards the phone booted past the sprint logo and all i could see was: The status bar with the signal bars with a red cross, a completely black screen, and a dreaded "Process system is not responding" dialog. Tapping on "wait" or "stop" just closed the dialog and the phone rebooted regardless.
I am pretty much stuck at this point... Please I beseech whoever has solved such an issue to help me, I am not really able to afford another note 3, but I can afford to reward anyone that can help me solve this(that desperate I am:fingers-crossed...
And to make matters worse, I am getting the galaxy gear for Xmas....go figure..
P.S. I still have a NANDroid of my beloved 4.3 and it does have an EFS backup, I have no way of knowing if it is corrupted or not... Also I'll attach the "clean_efs" zip so you can tell me how a huge noob I am(not really just for reference)...
Are you on the 4.4 bootloader? It's needed to boot Touchwiz 4.4.
Flash a TW 4.4 ROM via Odin, wipe data and restore EFS.

The last (successful) ROM flash since this mess was literally years ago with my HTC supersonic, so sorry if i sound like a total noob but, can you elaborate? How do i find out what version of boot loader I am on? With flash a TW 4.4 ROM do you mean a recovery? I already odin'd the 4.4.2 stock wonder if the recovery would make a difference? Also since its a stock ROM need i not to be rooted for everything to work properly?
Sorry for the total noobness but i think that's the best way to approach it so not to get anything wrong..

It won't boot at all, i stopped and sought help after i flashed 4.4.2 with Odin since then it just stays at "booting recovery".. The phone WAS rooted on the stock 4.3 but now i posit it is not. It is the SPRINT variant (SM-900P). I made sure to flash the proper ROMs for the carrier but still ran into this mess..

Sounds good! Comforting to know that there ate folks out there willing to lend a hand.. I'll get Odin 3.09. That was also one of my major concerns, Odin. Since there are a whole bunch of contradictory threads that state that version x doesn't play well with my phone and vice versa.. Hope that it works..
Also i find that kies stuff weird, both kies 2 and 3 asked me for a serial number, i just do not know what is the exact version i need, but maybe I'll try again with a clear mind..with such a brick scare i couldn't think straight..

I understand your concern i bricked my vibrant long ago and i bricked another note 2 long ago so i learned when to be scared and when to be relaxed about it if the keys doesnt work now its probably since your phone wont boot normaly so it can't detect it properly thats why we gona use odin and flash the firmware on it and that will get you booted back up so then kies will see the phone and it will boot it to download mode on its own and do the update ,once thats done you can root it install custom recovery and such .

I really do not mind, whichever might render less issues is OK..as long as it can be rooted safely and supports xposed.. But is kies going to fix the efs? How will it do that? I thought imei/data in efs is unique..
It fixed mine i lost my whole efs folder and i went from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 via kies and when i rooted my phone i checked and there it was efs folder with everything in it.Im running 4.4.4 with xposed and blu x 2 theme made for this rom and i have zero issues ( knock on wood) lol

TWRP fail..
Funny, in the past I turned my SL101 into an expensive brick by using CWM...and now its the abslute opposite...I have Odin flashed every recovery herehttps://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltespr/and none detect the efs partiton on my phone....whenever I yap on "Restore" and choose my backup the log reads" E: Unable to locate partition by backup name: 'efs'
Its because it got corrupted ...how i got no clue mine did the same once u get phone up and running we will use keies to flash original unrooted to get you efs back than root etc
