Galaxy S4 no recovery - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I was tinkering around with my S4 and now anytime I try to go to my recovery it says to take it to a Verizon store and it is locked. I am willing to do anything just so I have a recovery. It is rooted right now

Crash At startup

I have a weird problem with my S5 900f running Lollipop BTU. Rooted with chainfire. Issue is that after rooting when i restart my phone it sometimes says "android is updating and then everythig starts crashing....system is not responding etc etc" i have disabled sytem updates aswell . First i thought it was cuz of Twrp and i flashed stock recovery with flashify but still happened today.........it happens randomly while restarting my phone and then if it gets stuck i have to go to recovery and hit "clear cache and clear update from cache" to be able to boot.....i have also tried different firmwares any clue why this might be happening?

You have to flash stock firmware with odin but first you have to full wipe with twrp recovery end after flash firmware because your root is filed end after you may try to root again

I am on boc7, my root isnt broke....it works. I just have this crashing problem which comes out randomly at reboots after rooting. On one of the reboots Android shows android is updating after which everything crashes. If i dont root it never happens and phone works fine.
What you are used for root ur device?

After you root the supersu must update in self end if you don't have mods maybe some app cause android is updating on boot

Flash stock VZ room to S5 developer

My GF needs a updated (stable) VZ TW rom for her S5. I don't remember how to flash a stock VZ ROM to my girlfriend's S5 using twrp without locking the bootloader? Any help would be great. Thanks. And any suggestions on stock TW ROMs?
Anybody?

Since the lock info is almost completely contained in Qfuses on the SoC, it should work just fine to put a normal verizon rom on it...I don't know why you wouldn't just use an AOSP rom though...
Thanks. It is for my GF....she's needs the stability. And on CM ROMs the GPS doesn't work. Maybe I can convince her to try something different though. Ha.
You can flash this.

It flashes recovery, though--make sure you don't do that if you don't want it.
Thanks. Will give it a try tonight
Nope didn't boot. Gave it about 13min
I had to flash TWRP in Odin to restore.... (A scary couple of minutes. Lol)
You really can't brick these things. Just create an unbrick image (there's a thread about somewhere around here) and put it on an sdcard. I'm serious--I absolutely hosed my phone (no bootloader) and that brought it right back.
Of course, I'm not issuing a _challenge_

I'm really curious at to why that ROM wouldn't work. What did you use to flash it?

Thanks...I'm using twrp, I was using Phil's. But I'll don't remember. When I get back into town I'll try again. Is there an update to twrp maybe? I would rather use a cm ROM but I could never get the GPS to pick up satellites.

HELP! Soft Bricked my Note 3 Verizon Rooted, (unlocked bootloader I think?)

I just got my OF1 stock Verizon note 3 today. The CID did start with 15, so I went ahead and rooted, rooting went fine and worked. I then tried jrkruse bootloader unlock method, I think it worked because the picture of an unlocked lock with the word custom appeared when booting. Also in Download mode it said status was custom.
So I went ahead and used flashify to flash the twrp 4.4 for my phone, the latest one, and now I cannot boot at all. It says take the phone to a verizon store for help. I think it was just a bad twrp flash but not sure.
Can someone help?
Thank you

I was just getting ready to flash the T2 KitKat tar and just go back to KK since my N4 became unusable on MM due to shutdowns, non restarts and I guess just plain overheating running MM.. MM has done something to a lot of N4's tons of folks getting shutdowns at 20% or less of charge..etc. I have to let it cool for hrs or stick it in the freezer to get it to boot back up.. thus, the return to KK.. then I see this!.. downloading now and may give it try before returning to 4.4.4...

I am running this new update and so far everything is good.marshmallow is very well optimized only mistake many users do is they dont do factory reset after each update.
Flash firmware and immediately do factory reset so you can get clean fresh operating system.
I know factory reset sucks and pain in the ass to restore apps and stuff but trust me it's worth it.
The 20â„… shutdown battery issue i made complete tutorial how to fix it.

Is there any issue with rooting these later builds?
And.. your talking to a guy that wipes his internal storage with each ROM change..
so factory resetting is not an issue with me..
When these things updated back in Sept/Oct my N4 went from a Perfectly Working device to one that, I could pull it out and it would be shut off.. then.. it got to a point it would not come back on without letting it set for a WHILE.. or needed to be cooled in the freezer.. so I put it down and got a Zmax Pro.. GREAT phone but it cannot be rooted ( Screw You ZTE ) I want root.. so I'm willing to go back to whatever version of Android makes this device the most stable or this latest version.. as long as it can be rooted
Im still a rookie

After flash your device will reboot 2 times so dont freak out just let it boot completely.
Your bootloader is unlocked if it is locked you cannot able to flash twrp

It makes it very hard for Linux/Firefox users, who just want to download the file directly, and use a download manager like DownThemAll to handle large downloads. I can't download anything from that Website.

First before do anything make a back up in twrp of your current rom go to twrp and back up and backup ( boot/system/data/efs/modem). Then you can try things i mentioned below cuz if anything goes wrong you can easily restore your current backup rom without losing anything.
1,Uninstall bloatware system apps you dont use to make your device run more smoothly.
2, install adaway adblocker to disable adds in apps and browser.
4,install busybox to make root more stronger.
3,you can install xposed modules.
4,you can install lucky patcher to hack many games.
5,
And much more the lists are endless but be careful what you are doing and make sure to backup otherwise things can go wrong anytime try on your own risk.

Just flash the unlocked firmware. Then flash the att user data and you'll be on the unlocked firmware. Granted you won't have root tho unless you root that way then. I have the cricket s8 with the unlocked(att user data). I just haven't rooted yet.
