[Q] Phone freezing after custom ROM flash

Hi all
I desperately need help i have no idea what to do anymore. Yes i tried to root and rom my phone and i messed up now i cant get it back to just normal functionality.
I downloaded a custom rom and installed twrp 2.6 recover. I flashed a rom and when i started it i only noticed that it was for a Galaxy s2. I could not get out of the setup so it ran and failed. After that i have had the problem that the phone boots fine and goes into any app and has full
functionality until i set it down and the phone locks itself, then the lag is so huge i have to restart my phone to get anything done.
I have tried flashing the correct Omega v13 rom and does the same. Also dit the same with the backup that i made with TWRP before i did the first flash.
Also i tried to get it back to the stock firmware using the following guides.

How to Unroot and Restore Official Stock Firmware for Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & GT-I9505 | WhatsWithTech.
I have flashed it and done every step correctly but when it boots the first time the whole touch screen doesnt react only the return and home keys work on first startup. If i restart the phone at this point (Just flashed stock firmware re partition with PIT file and new stock kernel) i can complete it but the same problem persists
Please tell me someone can help me fix this screwup.
I have a GT- I9500 Octacore international with Jellybean 4.2.2

Make sure you wipe data/cache/dalvik before installing and allow the rom to fully install in safestrap before trying to reboot. Safestrap will prompt you when it's completed. Hopefully I'm understanding your question.

[Q] Galaxy note 3 update kit kat Help!

My galaxy note 3 tmobile Version was recently rooted. After I rooted it, I noticed that a software update was available. After research, I realized that you cannot update the software while your device is rooted. I tried using Xposted and Wanam, but it didn't suffice. Is it possible to flash an updated rom such as c-rom onto my phone? Or would that end up in a soft brick? I was hoping to install c-rom 4.4 onto my phone but its been taking a while to load up. It shows the c-rom logo, but I get inpatient after about 15 minutes of waiting. So I end up going into recovery. Is there another way I could update and keep my root?
Help would really be appreciated
Anyone?
I use stock rom and update with Mobile Odin . I Keep root with it

Hello
I'll have your thread moved to the Galaxy S4 Q&A subforum where your question would be better answered.
Good luck,

i9505 can not flash any stock firmware

Hello good pleople
So i got a Galxy S4 with lollipop and it was kinda bloated and i installed a custom rom based on 5.0.1 (Cyanogen), but it has some bugs, mainly in the sound (it is distorted in some applications that worked well in my Jelly Bean Galaxy S2) and i am tryin since a couple of days ago to go to stock and i can not. Odin always gives me error and FAIL after a few seconds.
I can still flash a custom rom from my Custom Recovery (i did a 4.3.1 and a 4.4.4 both Cyano), but nothing from Odin goes in my phone, it is ALWAYS "fail" either the -pit- or something else.
How the hell can i go to stock? Is there any way i can do it without the PC and Odin?
If there are more details needed i will supply them.
Thank you.

Yes. You can use an app called Flashfire.
Anyway, Odin can fail for various reasons:
USB cable, USB ports (back ports are recommended), Odin version and Windows version.
So, i'm getting Flashfire (which can be used directly from Android, right? like any app)
(atm i flashed a wooping 1,5 GB custom rom - Death Star 2.0 - and so far so good. After some testing, one of the problematic apps is running ok).
Thank you. I'm gonna report back

You can find official roms here http://www.sammobile.com/ (you have to register and the speed is pretty slow)
The one i have installed, Death Star 2.0 is actually custom but very close to the official 4.2.2.
So far, with Death Star rom and Kernel Ktweaks flashed, the phone is running ok. I have some issues with Mobile Data (4G) as it runs much worse than before, but the overall picture is looking good. I'll report back any other issues i encounter.
