Phone Won't Boot After Installing Hide It Pro

Help...
I had a working phone with 3.0 golden eye.
I had installed Hide it Pro and File Hide it.
I was able to use the File Hide it but after reboot, the screen got stock at Samsung S4 Logo screen and I tried to restore and was TWRP says restored but during reboot it will get stock still at the Samsung S4 logo.
Now, I am trying desperately how to even just make it work.
I remember last time I had installed Hide It Pro and it also got my older phone get stock in the same situation and had used a different ROM.
this is the 2nd phone that is stock after installing Hide It Pro.
Any suggestions on how to revive my phone?
I am currently downloading the stock "I337UCUAMDB_I337ATTAMDB_ATT.zip" and will try to Odin it.
I am looking to use the later UCUADML stock rom.
Thank you.

Actually have you tried a factory reset yet? I would try that first before Odin.
That will work, make sure after you odin, you do a factory reset, or you will still see the same issue, odin does NOT do a factory reset.
Good luck.

head over to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares. you'll have to register as a user but they have the MDL firmware you are looking for.

You are right. I did a factory reset first, did not work so my last resort was ODIN.
I did ODIN and I was able to see the apps and play with it. after reboot, got stock again at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo.
I wil ODIN again and after reboot in the phone, I will do a factory reset since I believe the phone is non-rooted at this point.
I will post back what happens.
Thanks.

It's getting frustrating.
I had ODIN my phone, reboot and factory reset by using the vol up+power+home.
stock was fine.
rooted the phone and installed SHOstock 2.0 by wiping all including format data.
at first reboot, gets stock on the samsung logo...
what else can I do to fix this even if i had already rolled it back to stock/factory reset?
Thank you.

Thank you.

You downloaded the aosp kernel and flashed it on a touchwiz (TW) rom. Can you get into recovery mode?

Ooops, my bad. Golden ROM is a Touchwiz?
I will try to recover it and flash the Touchwiz Kernel.

AFter I had ODIN my phone and flashed a new ROM, I should not be having these issues(?). right?

I had ODIN it again.
After reset/reboot, since it is connected to my pc the invisible batter in the background appears and does nothing after the ATT logo with sounds came out.
disconnected from pc and tried to reboot. it will only show the logo during power button push, release the power button and the logo disappears and dies.

I tried reboot in recover, power+vol up and home, the phone will show the logo and release power and it dies, does not continue to recovery.
Is there any other way to recover the phone?

battery was dead.
now, after ODIN, I am in stock ROM, none rooted.
restarted = ok
power off > start = ok
next rooting steps.
what I can't understand is when flashing a new ROM will start to freeze at start-up... ???

because you must use a kernel for your device...PERIOD! If you do not, you will hang at boot.

Brick? Hardware/Software bug?

Hi guys,
Yesterday, i turned off my device to sleep. When i turnet it on, it restart 3 times in sequence, than i take off battery , waited 1min e turned on again. But, it wasnt load OS, it freezed at Samsung logo.
So i decided to try restore the custom room (Google Edition), but i cant entered at cwm recovery, freezed downloading mode screen. Than i tried to flash with odin cwm again. Flash sucessfully but could not load cwm.
Than im started to getting panic, nervous and patience gone. I downloaded from sammobile the stock room and flash with odin. It isnt work again. After flash, the phone boot and freeze for loooooong time at screen with blue text recovering boot and Samsung logo.
I tried from KIES too, but have no sucess...
I dont know what I must have to do anymore. My ideas, knowlodge are now over. Is that any possible about triangle way cause this ? My device doesnt boot anymore. Always freezing screen. I waited for many minutes, like 20minutes and nothing.
Files that i downloaded:
- I9505_VJUBMG3_STOCK_RECOVERY.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3_STOCK_KERNEL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUAMDM_I9505ZTOAMDM_I9505VJUAMDM_HOME.tar.md5
- and Philz recovery, CWM recovery.
Guys, what really happened?

funny thing
tha same happened to me last week.
I fixed it by downloading another version of Stock Rom for s4 and flashing it with odin.
The stock rom I used had only 1 file (1.7gb) and flashed it using only the pda button.
maybe it will work for you also.
oh and by the way
I used team win recovery project instead of CWM recovery

Yeah, i think my problem isnt the room, because i have 2 here, one default from sammbile and other I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
My problem is after flash the room, it isnt boot. It stop at Samsung logo with blue text recovering boot. How long did you waited for this? Or you just disconnect cable after reboot and flash again to teamwin ?

Flash the new Brazilian rom with odin ( http://www.hotfile.com/dl/234152687/723aa16/I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_ZTO.zip.html ).
Wait reboot. Power off, and reboot in recovery mode, wipe data + cache (Vol Up+Home+Power).
The first time, you need wait a lot of time (1~20 minutes).

TWRP isn't CWM, didn't see you mention it yet.

Today i must to give up, because time is against me. I leave the device at samsung assistence. Lets see what they will say for me.
I dont have screenshots, but im sure that i follow all those steps correctly. I tried many ways with odin, ticking unticking things, step by step.
By the way, im so happy with all here tried to help me. The beautifull word that i can say is Thanks, thanks guys!
Weird think: Switching from S4 for X10 is a punishment! My old and warrior X10 have no more battery life, like a mini screen now, slow cpu... but its ok, is better than my x810i.
Thank You guys (all people that help me), for everything.

Download flashify and choose reboot to recovery.. Or you can use any app that has a reboot to recovery option. And yes you are good to flash.. Make sure you make a backup tho lol

[Q] HELP! CWM Recovery Mode Wont Go Away???

I'll try to keep it short, just a few days ago my phone started to boot to CWM Recovery mode every time i turned it on, and I never installed anything or heard about this 'CWM' before it happened. (It says on the recovery mode 'Version 6.0.4.5' if this helps). It is also in Chinese language :/
My phone has been rooted for a few weeks and has worked perfectly until now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So Is my phone screwed? Or can I fix this?
P.S. I heard flashing/installing (or something like that) new ROM can fix this, so I've downloaded a custom S4 ROM onto my SD card incase I need to use it (It's just the entire ZIP file with everything in it)
(EDIT: The top of my volume buttom is slightly jammed, could this be making it behave like this? ( Its never turned up my music automatically though)
Thanks in advance!

Hi mate,
it looks like something happen to your OS like part of was deleted or formated , the jam button is possible but is a 3 buttons combination, try to factory reset from the CWM if not i think your best shoth would be to try a custom rom or flash a stock rom

So before going to cwm reloader, it used to say ''Recovery booting.... Set Warranty Bit: Recovery''
After flashing the cwm to my device (it done everything successfully), not it says ''Recovery booting.... Recovery is not seandroid enforcing Set Warranty Bit: Recovery''
:/

oh and it just stays like that now, doesnt load cwm :/

SOLVED! So remember I tried flashing it before and it didnt do anything? Looks like I had to boot it in 'kernel mode', i did it accidentally and the new ROM booted up to setup and the phone works
Thank you so much for the help

Note 4 (N910F) will only boot to Download Mode

Hey everyone,
I came across a problem with my note. I was using _alexndr's rom and I thought I would give CM12 a try. I downloaded CM12 and checked the md5. The md5 was good so I made a nandroid of _alexndr's rom and installed CM12 using TWRP. As CM12 was booting for the first time, my note randomly turned off. When I tried to turn it back on, it showed the Note 4 splash screen and rebooted. It has been stuck in a bootloop ever since. I have tried using Odin to reset back to stock and I have using the emergency restore on Kies but still no luck. When I try to boot to recovery, it says recovery is booting but then it reboots to the Note 4 splash screen again. I have also tried flashing custom recoveries but it makes no difference. The only mode I can boot into is download mode. I have even tried re-partitioning using the N910F pit file but no difference. My phone is the SM-N910F (snapdragon) model. Also, I have tried searching but it seems like I'm the only person with this problem.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of but nothing seems to make a difference :crying:

I haven't found a way to fix it I just sent it to Samsung and then they sent it back saying that its not in warranty anymore because its been rooted soooo... I've emailed them trying to get a quote on the cost of the repair but it takes about 3 business days for them to reply :/ I tried literally everything and I'm going to say its a hardware fault rather than software
Have you tried flashing a different recovery or flashing stock firmware again and seeing if that fixes it?
