[Q] Flashed SuperS4, stuck on Android logo

Well I flashed SuperS4 this morning. Wont ever make it past the flashing android screen right after the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. So I go into recovery(TWRP) and it wont go past the dang TWRP logo screen.... Not good... Anyone have any advice? Phone is like a week old... TWRP worked perfectly before. I was using BeanStalk rom and decided to try out SuperS4.

I've always used the latest Philz recovery and never had a problem with it

As @churchey360 says - use the latest philz.
Also, you want to reboot recovery after doing wipes and before flashing the ROM.
Your steps should look like this:
1 - do all your wipes
2 - reboot recovery
2.1 - if asked to install Superuser say yes
3 - Flash ROM
3.1 wipe cache and dalvik if you want.
4 - reboot system and let it sit for 10 minutes before you do setup. If you cannot get past the splash screen after 10 minutes you messed up somewhere. Check the md5 hash of the ROM and verify it matches. You may want to boot to recovery from after a battery pull.
Holler back and let us know.

I have never messed with the s4 but,

On devices with unlockable bootloaders (non odin) such as samsung devices, i think you have to flash the boot image file somehow. (no fan of odin)
but if the device contains fastboot, then flash the boot.img in the rom. if odin, download a stock tar and flash it

I faced the same problem... But i solved it by flashing cwm 6.0.4.4 recovery then wipe system, data, cache and delvik cache... Then reboot recovery then wipe again.... Then flash the rom.
It will work with you.

i'm assuming you can get the phone in download mode (hold power + down arrow) and then use odin to flash a new recovery (preferably cwm 6,0.44) then go into recovery and do another wipe/reset/etc and install the rom again.

Bootloop (recovery/download mode is accessible) Flash Stock Rom n Factory Reset done

so i got my phone stuck on bootloop and normally flashing stock rom or factory reset solves the problem but it doesnt on my case...
prior to bootloop:
i restore EFS folder and EFS block using galaxsim unlock app then it automatically restarted and it put me on bootloop...
so i tried wipe cache and dalvik but still in bootloop
i tried factory reset still no use
so i tried flashing Official Firmware (N910CXXU1ANK5_N910COLB1ANK5_N910CXXU1ANL2_HOME.tar) via Odin
and it was successful and still stuck on bootloop..
i also flash (N910CXXU1BOC3_N910COLB1BOC1_N910CXXU1BOC3_HOME.tar) when the above didnt work..
i enter stock recovery mode then wipe cache and factory reset but still stuck in bootloop
boots in:
Galaxy Note 4

Sa REBOOTS (Samsung Logo) it doesnt have the chance to complete the Samsung logo animation
need help badly, its supposed to be easy as long as i can boot in recovery or download mode but it doesnt.... if only i can make the samsung logo finish its animation maybe he can load and boot normally,

Next time give more details if you what help from xda as we can't mind read. Info such as what rom you had before and what rom you flashed.
Guessing from the issue i think you flashed a lollipop rom and white those suckkers you need to flash a modem and bootloader that corresponds with the rom version you flashed and if you don't well then you end up in the drama you are in now.

Note Stuck in First Boot screen where it says galaxy note 3 sm-n9005
I had aryamod.

Rebooted.
It got stuck into samsung logo.
Decided to do a rom install.
After the rom install its stuck in first boot logo. When powered on it gives a vibrate. Remain stuck at that screen. No LED blinking or anything.
Tried to wipe cache factory reset format and even tried to flash again.

Nobody got bootlop with this version

And now best option is to flash Stock via Odin (as mentioned above) and then try others.

Please Help :(. Bootloop after re-flashing stock rom 6.0.1

Hello,
Please help me out guys
I tried for the 1st time to flash custom recovery TWRP - it worked.
Then, i immediately entered to TWRP and i tried to root my phone installing the supersu.zip. When i rebooted my phone - bootloop
In the end, I reflashed stock rom via ODIN but my phone still gets bootloop at SAMSUNG LOGO(NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE)
PS:If i try to enter stock recovery - first it appears "installing system update", then "no command" and then it enters the stock recovery, but nothing can solve the bootloop problem
please help
1.Why bootloop after rooting with the supersu.zip?Should i use the cfautoroot metod?
2.Why bootloop after reflashing stock rom?Never happened before!!!
Thanks!

What Phone have u got mate?

J500F....
I think i managed to solve this...I was flashing the 1st update package .tar which was released for the J5 last summer
Flashing that - not working NOW, ALTHOUGH it worked a few months ago
Flashing .tar from SAMFIRMWARE - working!
But what about the root problem? Which way is the proper way to root your J500F 6.0.1 without bootloops&stuff

Nothing works: supersu.zip, cf auto root.zip....
i only get bootloops

After flashing using TWRP you should always clear dalvik cache,
The first boot always take some time, 2-5 min,
Before flashing anything try to do a nandroid backup,
The supersu.zip method worked for me,
There is a detailed thread on xda j5 forum on how to upgrade/downgrade and root your device,
After using Odin to flash a ROM enter recovery and wipe data then wipe cache
Sent from my SM-J500H using XDA Labs

Update:
1. It seems it ONLY works to flash 6.0.1 AFTER flashing 5.1.1.(so i have to always repeat this double procedure)
Reflashing 6.0.1 over 6.0.1 - NOT WORKING
2. About root problem - damn, i still can't make it work. I will try your advices and let you know what happened,
Thanks!

I've seen your PM.
I don't really have any idea. But I have a suggestion, although I don't know if it will solve your problem. Backup your stuff from internal memory before. Try to wipe everything including internal memory (internalsd in TWRP recovery), then turn off your phone and re-flash stock rom.

Hello, @Lawr3nce I followed this tutorial by @rjrulz007 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/tutorial-upgrade-j5-2015-to-6-0-t3443904 to root my j500h, I downloaded the supersu.zip from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703
Don't forget to backup your data before upgrading (you can use smart switch), after flashing using Odin go to recovery (stock recovery), wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, this should solve the boot loop problem.
Before flashing the supersu zip file do a nandroid backup using TWRP (boot to TRRP, choose backup, select sdcard as save location then swipe to start backup. In case the flash of zip file failed choose restore and select the backup you did before, better than reflashing the whole ROM using Odin )
Sent from my SM-J500H using XDA Labs

Ok, thank you all for the help. Conclusions:
1. For some reason, it NEVER works to flash directly the 6.0.1...I always have to flash the 5.1.1 first, then the 6.0.1.
2. I will try that root procedure from the link .
I am very willing to root it because i want to remove many useless preinstalled bloatwares from my phone
(due to very low free space i can't even update my apps)
UPDATE: That procedure with that .zip WORKS! THANKS

HELP! I cannot boot into system. Stuck in TWRP

I own the mediatek variant of the Moto e4 (xt1760).
I flash twrp as the recovery through fastboot.
I flashed a custom rom and then gapps and then booted into the rom (XenonHD rom). Then when I went to recovery and then clicked on reboot, then on system, the splash screen showed up and then it booted into recovery again. Im freaking out rn. No matter what I do, i cannot boot into System. Any kind of rebooting throws me into TWRP recovery!!

Try booting in to bootloader and choose factory mode....it should boot in to os

Same thing happened to me but I have the Qualcomm Chipset. Just boot into the bootloader from TWRP and select if you have a Qualcomm, qcom but not sure what that would be for you.

just wipe , flash the rom again , wipe cache and dalvik , flash magisk 14.5 , reboot to system
* you have the wrong gapps or another conflict with gapps
why freak out ? you can flash so many roms from recovery ...are you sure your recovery is a good recovery ?
also try to make data ext4 to get past magisk amd xposed errors about failed to mount data and install any modules

Please provide working link of Moto e4 twrp recovery mediatek version

I have this this recovery flashed. I did what you said and flashed ColtOS but w/o gapps and after rebooting it still went back into twrp. Does it have to do something with dmverity? I had flashed it after installing supersu the first time. Also, not able to go to the menu where you can select between RECOVERY MODE, START, etc. When I boot into bootloader, this comes on the bottom of the screen -
=> FASTBOOT mode...
=>device unlocked
that's it. I wiped everything but still boots into twrp.

Error unable to load TWRP.img please tell how to solve this error

I went 100% stock using SP tools. Then i flashed twrp you gave me by stupdroid and then i installed the dotOS and stock gapps 7.1.1. Now i want to use substratum so i need root. The guide u linked above should work right?

IF YOU ARE ON STOCK DO THIS * NOT FOR dotOS check below :FIRST PUT MAGISK 14.5 FROM OFFICIAL SOURCE ON SD AND PUT NO DM VERITY ZIP FROM MY POST ON SD THEN:
you can download modified boot.image and custom recovery files from my thread ...load the scatter file in SP flashtool but manually unselect all the check boxes ...manually select the custom recovery and modified boot image by clicking to the right of the check box in the line with the writing...a file select window will appear so just select the downloaded file ...as before switch off phone ..press download only ..connect usb ..wait for green tick to say done ...now
VERY IMPORTANT Don't switch on phone . hold volume down + power until you get to bootloader ...move your selection up or down using vokume keys until it says recovery NOT FASTBOOT then select yes with power button ..
in twrp flash first no verity
then flash magisk 14.5
then reboot
*if you brick you know how to fix :highfive:

You must be typing the command wrong, or you don't have the twrp.img in the same directory your opening a terminal in. Make sure you type:
