Phone stuck on Samsung logo after failed ROM flash

Hello everyone, I wanted to flash a ROM to my Galaxy S4 i9505. I first rooted it like described in this tutorial. That went all ok.
After that I downloaded this and tried to flash using Odin Mobile. It rebooted to some sort of recovery, wiped data, cache etc. and then it wrote some error.
After that, I am stuck at the Samsung logo and can't boot into android. I can't also enter recovery, when i hold the buttons, it boots and there is written BOOTING RECOVERY (in the left top corner) but after that it goes to the Samsung logo again.
I can still get into Download mode. If anyone could help with this I would be really grateful.

Hi mate,
Why you flashed a custom rom with Odin mobile???
Go into recovery and do a factory reset try to reboot and see if it works if not....
Go to recovery do a factory reset ...and flash rom from there ( did you installed a custom recovery?)
If no working ..go to recovery do a factory reset ...download a stock rom ( sammobile) download Odin ( not odin mobile) flash stock rom...
Then you can root , install custom recovery and flash custom rom from there...

I did try to install the recovery using odin (this one), but when i rebooted there was the default recovery So after that i decided to flash the rom using odin mobile (and that got me here).
Can i install custom recovery with firmware ending with GNG8? I had 4.4.2 stock before this.

Hi
What odin did you use to flash the custom recovery? it should work, you can also try TWRP recovery

Do not use odin mobile go with the pc type
You can install a custom rom...but you need a custom recovery

Thanks for the tip, I installed it through Odin 3.09, first I got stuck on booting into recovery, but on the second try I kept holding the volume up only after phone logo appeared and now I am in the TWRP.
Reseting the phone now and I will install the rom after that. Thanks again, hope it will succeed now.

Great mate!
Let us know how it goes

[Q] Note 3 can't boot into recovery

I am using CM12 nightlies on my N900W8, and I haven't had any problems until I tried to flash a new nightly (while running 20150410-NIGHTLY-hltetmo) and instead of booting into recovery I got a black screen. After taking the battery out and back in and trying again, the same thing happened. When I started it back up again the internal memory was completely wiped, I have no idea how or why. It can boot into download mode but I cannot get into recovery and therefore can't flash a new ROM or recovery to fix it. What do I do?

Download mode flash stock rom through Odin .

Didn't work. I tried CWM and TWRP, both resulted in a black screen when booting in recovery mode.

Make sure to uncheck auto-reboot before flashing TWRP with Odin.
Only use TWRP.

TWRP has this weird issue that is actually faced by me too.
Whenever I've flashed it..or flashed anything via TWRP...I have to give it a soft reboot by pulling the battery out then putting it again within 30 seconds.
And then the beast boots
Could never understand the phenomenon
Could you throw some light?
And yeah OP..This might help you too..

Try flashing the stock ROM once more, Then once in recovery hit Wipe Cache, Do this like 3 times and reboot. See if that lets you into the device as normal.

Thanks for reply. I have flashed the official rom at least 4 times but it is still stuck in recovery booting boot loop. And after that I get a No command message. Then it goes back to bootloop.

What about flashing TWRP 3.0.2 using Odin and then flash something like Norma or Im running Twiztd S7 port. Then once you have that ROM up. See if you can flash back to stock again. Ive seen sometimes that you may need to wipe cache or factory reset in factory recovery after doing Odin.

Boot stuck in recovery

Hello. I have tried to install a rom via twrp on my grand prime g530FZ and apparently i succeeded, but after the installation i rebooted the device and it rebooted into the recovery, so i tried again but the same thing happens. No matter what i do it always boots in the recovery and when it boots a yellow text appears which says: Warranty bit set : recovery". I have also tried to restore from a nand backup that i made but nothing, always the same problem with the same text. I have also tried to flash another version of twrp thinking that maybe it was a problem of my current one, but nothing, same thing. I can't use my phone now, what can i do?
