i tried flashing the stock firmware using odin but it gives me bootloop
I am using I9505XXUHOD7/I9505EVRHOD1/I9505XXUHOD7/I9505XXUHOD7
Samsung galaxy s4 5.0.1 EE
Obviously you did something wrong.
Custom roms don't count as official software updates/upgrade. Meaning that it won't lock your phone to that particular android version.
Remember to wipe before flashing.
i forgot to do this before but I just wiped and tried again and still get bootloops
EDIT: thank you bro im just not patient and it worked
What did you do? I have the same problem. I'm on a bootloop. please give me step by step instructions. Thanks. I have i9505 from Philippines on globe telecom network.
Thanks in advance.

I completely forgot that i hadn't wiped before flashing the firmware
1. Wipe device (I used TWRP to wipe)
2.Reboot into download mode
3. Flash firmware and wait
I thought i had bootloop still but waited and it worked

Yeah, whenever I install Custom ROMs I get nervous during the initial boot (hoping its not going to be a bootloop) hahaha.
Nowadays I literally get a timer out and countdown 15 minutes (15 minutes out of personal experience is ample.....)
If I don't get that "optimizing app x of xxx" message by then, thats when I retrace my steps to look for errors.
I guess all I can say for all you guys above is..... don't forget to do a nandroid backup!!

Hi guys. Need your help on this one. I flashed the latest omega rom and successfully restored my data. But whenever i reboot or power my phone off it can boot up past the samsung s4 logo. I would have to go back to recovery (twrp) format data. Then restore from back up then it can boot up. I would have to do it every time. I already tried reflashing the omega rom. After wipe but same thing the moment i reboot it will not het past the s4 logo. Any idea on this one. I really need help

U can try two thing first
Go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and then reboot
Reboot and see if the problem is solved
If not the go to settings and reset the device and reboot this should clear that problem let me know what happens

So I have been trying to get multiple roms to work and it seems as only the TouchWiz roms worked for me (getting LTE) Jellybean wouldn't let me connect to any LTE but gave me data.
So I tried to do a few wipes, I deleted my backups (like an idiot) and now I'm stuck with just being able to get into TWRP.
I get into TWRP factory reset and wipe everything then do a internal wipe and install a rom the rom installs but when i go to reboot the rom it gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen and won't move.
What do I do?
I just want to have a jellybean rom...
I can get into TWRP
How long have you let it boot? The first boot can take a long time.

You need to read about TWRP before using it. You should not be wiping "everything" with it.

Can you get into download mode? If so you might want to odin the stock firmware.

yeah i can i never used odin before.
if i do this will i be able to re-root? or will it update me to mf3?
EDIT: i just let it sit there and got my old recovery back. im on tw 4.2.2 goldeneye. let me check if i can reboot it without it getting stuck.
EDIT2: ok i just let it reboot and it now reboots fine..
I have read 3 of your posts, you really need to start reading before you go any further...if your phone boots on 4.2.2 GoldenEye, stop there until you find more information on what you are trying to do. If you don't you will for sure be using Odin soon, may want to read up on that also...
Good luck.
BTW, you do not need to make a different thread for every question, go back to one of the threads you started, and ask ALL of your questions there...

Everything seems okey but maybe you should do a full wipe (Totally wipe)before flashing jamal rom mate? maybe thats why its stuck on boot. or you can use this Super Wipe to do the job for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379104

Yes on the latest twrp. Idk what the issue is.
Would it be because I'm on 7.0? Idk if that's a thing but I would assume it wouldn't be the case.

Yes I'm sure I'm using the right one for my device. I have never had this issue before.
Went back to twrp 3.0.2.0 and it's fine, I guess it was just the latest release that was the issue.
