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)

Hi all,
For the past few days I've been trying to flash new ROMs. I'm a noon but have previously flashed probably 100 times with no problems at all.
Ive stuck with psx for about 3 months and live it, but as updates for the ROM have become a hasstke to get, I thought I'd try something else, but this time move on to KitKat custom ROMs instead of 4.3.
Now here's the problem. I'm doing everything the same as I usually would, d/l ROM, appropriate gapps, use latest twrp, factory reset, flash and then..... FAILED update : ( : ( Now I am a noobso am I missing something big time???, do I need to completely wipe phone when flashing from 4.3 to KitKat??, pls help, I'm sick to death of going through the fail/restore process
Thanks in advance : )
Are you updating the bootloader and radio when moving from 4.3 to 4.4? Did you try formatting the system before installing?
I transitioned from jellybean to KitKat too yesterday and had that same problem. From what i remember, what I did was when I got that failed update message in twrp, i first clicked home, then click reboot, then select to recovery. It should then warn you're about to reboot w/out a ROM/system. I swiped yes. Then it should prompt u to install supersu. Go ahead and swipe yes. It should then reboot u back to recovery and u can proceed to do your normal install routine. Now I'm adjusting myself to KitKat life!

I had that problem flashing ROMs with TWRP as well. I had to unmount the system, then everything flashed successfully!
Use cwrm instead , brotha from another motha twrp has issues with kitkat

You need a custom boot image for kitkat
Hi guys im a bit rusty again in all this since i rooted my S3 and HTC desire years ago ,
I have an Galaxy S5 SM-G900F (bought seperately without any provider)(EU)

i followed this link and how to from ChainFire "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537"
wich i been using on my Galaxy Tab 7 Lite(T110) as well and worked flawlessly
I followed the exact steps as usual , rooting went fine, phone rebooted as it should , i updated SUPERSU and its binaries and installed Ericson's Busybox,. ,and everything worked as it should ,
then i put off my phone and boot in to recovery mode to flash the Philz_touch_6.26.1-klte.zip (touch recovery)
when im in my stock recovery i facepalm'd myself because i hadnt put the flashable recovery file on my internal storage yet ,
so i wanted to reboot back in the phone so i could put the file on my internal storage so id be able to flash it from stock recovery ,,..
this is where it all got strange,.
My phone stays black after Boot logo, gives me errors like ,. SYSTEM UI STOPPED ,. and so on for about everything that keep the phone running , i mean really everything STOPS , after about 15 minutes and klicking away all the Stopped msg's , it just reboots again to do the same.
i tried starting the phone in SAFE MODE ,. . Same thing,...

Did you use the latest version of ODIN to flash the CF Root?
Think Odin3 v3.10.6 is the latest current version
If you used an old version, try flashing it again using the new one, other than that, I can only suggest trying to fix permissions in recovery if it has that option, TWRP should have it, and finally a factory reset, which is not ideal

i used Odin3-v3.07
but after flashing the root everything worked installed superSU and updated it and its binaries and installed busybox,.
it all stopped working after i went into Stock Recovery and back
id prefer not to do a factory reset Wipe,. unless i really have to to fix it ,.
im going to try reflash with the latest version then,.
i have swapped SD card to galaxy tab to put the Flashable touch recovery on the SD card, and swapped back to the phone so i could Flash the Recovery when im in stock ,.
but ill try flashing Root with latest Odin first.. thank you

the new odin is a bit less informative (to me as beginner)
i managed to use AP to flash the root again
all goes fine , it reboots
and its now upgrading android as it says and opening app's
then Black screen again,. i klick a button,. and it shows me again all the STOPPED msg's of all internal apps that are crashing,. litterally all apps,
what can i do ?
If clearing cache didn't work, fixing permissions in recovery didn't work, only thing left I can think of is factory reset

i cant fix persmission in stock recovery and flashing the philz touch recovery didnt work something about not verify signature,.
al i can do i guess is wipe data factory reset ,.but im affraid it wont fix anything
Try TWRP recovery instead
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/229
No reason a factory reset won't fix things, worst comes to worst, flash the whole ROM again from ODIN, that will fix everything as it wipes and reinstalls the lot
Grab a stock ROM from sammobile
Thank you for all your replys mate..
I managed to get it working again by doing a factory reset in stock recovery after I flashed root with latest odin
Even tho it was my last resort there was nothing else I guess .
I'm not sure tho if this will happen again when I go back to recovery like I did when this all happend the first time while I actually want to flash a more advanced recovery then stock recovery ..
But I'll take my chances and just leave it as it is
Again thank you for your help and suggestions .

Pleased you got it working again, I would say if you think you might want to flash another advanced recovery in the future, it might be best to do that now since you have already factory reset the phone, that way if this happens again, you don't lose months of data and settings and files that you have gathered between now and whenever you decide to flash recovery

i have actually ,. i installed the TWRP u mentioned,. by taking there app from the Playstore,. and flashed the new recovery, within android and without rebooting (just in case)
im used to the old CWM thats why i first wanted the Touch recovery as its based on it,
but always open for trying new things
Thank you
Good stuff
Id say the whole entering recovery / apps crashing thing was a problem with the ODIN version you used to root, too old for Lollipop is my guess, so I wouldn't worry about entering recovery again.
Hello All, i am almost new to this forum, i had bought my new SGS5 SM-G900H like 4-5 days ago, i had before a SGS4 i9500 witch i had similar problems and success and all things, i tried everything in android world, custom recovery, custom ROMs, flashing stocks ect..
The Very first step of playing in my SGS5 System was rooting it..
How i did that?
1. cf-auto-root
2. odin
3. bootloop
I was sure it was for my specific device.
Then i discovered that it was likely a wrong way of rooting it? since i watched a video on youtube and it showed flashing the supersu package via a custom recovery.. but how shall they flash a custom recovery without being rooted?
Afterwards like a miracle, i download kies 3 and plugged the phone to my laptop and launched kies, and alone the phone booted into recovery mode witch it have been stuck like 5 mins at SGS5 Logo..
What I've done later?
1. Wipe data/factory reset ( using custom rom )
2. rebooting, enjoying life saved
3. rooting the correct way by flashing supersu ( it actually worked )
I wanted to get back to the stock and wanted to permanently clean my device from being custom so i went to supersu app and chose option " permanent clean " something like that, and the phone rebooted..
i went to recovery mode to wipe data/factory reset again to fully clean the task, then i got my self stuck in boot recovery loading, it just showed up the SGS5 Logo witch freaked me..
i just went to odin and flashed the custom recovery ( hoping it will work ) everything passes in odin excepting the phone..
And from there, i am stuck till now with no recovery booting and no normal boot, only what can i do is go to download mode
Recently i am now downloading stock for my device to flash it soon..
i just wonder what i've done wrong, and help me for next time ( i would appreciate help tricks, small notifications..)
Thanks!
i also would like to know if i returned back to stock i'll be having back my recovery ?
Update : i left phone the night and came back and turned it on normally, he booted to recovery then i wiped and restarted and everything went ok.. damn i am getting pre-messed up by this phone..
now what should i do if i want to root the perfect way and have some custom recovery thing for 900H
