[Q] Stuck at samsung logo after flashing

I rooted my note 3. Then installed cwm recovery through odin 3.09. Then i tried to install two different custom roms,one is 4.3 other is kit kat, using cwm recovery. They both installed succesfully but after installation i reboot and it freezes at samsung logo. Also i tried an official russion rom using odin 3.09. It opens but this time it always gives keyboard stopped working error. What must i do. I cant install any rom. Please help

sorry by my inglish, i will try to explane...I can see what you say, tahat you didnt flash tho csc file , that why you have that keyboard error.. you can solve that by conecting some bluetooth keyborad to your divice , and with that keyboard try to write the fields to get to playstore an donwload another keyboard for your divice like , donwload another one from playstore like swifkey, once u donwload the keyboard selected insted samsung kerboard

But i flashed scs. No way. And also i cant start any custom rom after installing throughh cmw recovery

So you flashed Kitkat 4.4.2? -- N900 or N9005? -- reflash your Stock ROM - need to be 4.4.2 now since you tried previously.

Yes kitkat 4.4.2. N900. I can install succesfully using cmw but after rebooting it freezes at flashing samsung logo

Use Odin to flash stock ROM

Where can i download stock rom?

thanks but.. the phone isnt starting that's why i have to flash a firmware..so i can't check what firmware i have..
The flashing process failed at half of it..:/......

Just pick one of the latest.
btw if the flashing of the recovery fails then just try the standard stuff
- different usb port
- different cable

Why did you want to flash a custom recovery, to just flash a custom rom? If so, then just flash the custom recovery again and then flash the custom rom you want.
And why would you just flash the ap file if the firmware has more files? Makes no sense to me.

[Q] Need Help!!!!!! Phone Stuck at Samsung Logo

I am currently new to all this stuff so i dont have an exact idea what i was doing
First of all i rooted my Device I9500 Which had 5.0.1 Android
then i installed TWRP Recovery and then i was not able to backup any stuff to External SD Card so i installed some Boot.img which i exactly dont remember which i installed from watching any youtube video then later some problem occured It showed some error like "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" then i flashed Philz touch recovery which then worked and i was able to backup my data but i was not able to Boot into my Original ROM or couldnt see an option for that. Then i downloaded The Ozcan V6.3 ROM and tried installing it it succesfully installed but after that its not able to boot uo and stuck at SAMSUNG Logo Screen.
Please Help me What to DO !!!.
Thanks In Advance

If your device can still get into download mode, download the stock Android 5.x image for your device and flash it using Odin. That will get you back to square one so you can start over with rooting and installing the custom ROM.

I had the same problem on my gs4. It would only go to galaxy logo so I flashed the lollipop firmware via odin and all is well.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

Just have to flash the default one with Odin ?
i also backed up my old data with philz to my sd card that also and i also downloaded a new Default 5.0.1 ROM ?
Which one should i flash ?
and whats the critera for finding ROMs leaving the model number ? (noob question)

Is the S4 unlocked? If not, what country are you in and what carrier do you have?

My Country is India and its the International Version I9500 and i am not pretty sure that it was unlocked or not .but it was rooted and recovery was installed
Added later :
I just installed recovery back and then tried to install ROM the ROM was also stuck on the Boot Loop I think my boot loader isnt unlocked and ima stuck there because of that

I9500 isnt bootloader locked. And u must be flashing the boot.img on other partition that not in the odin package. So u must search how to repartition ur device. But. U MUST VERY CAREFULL WITH REPARTITION OPTION! U MIGHT BRICK UR DEVICE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT U DOING!. And if u wanna flash recovery and boot.img or bootloader thing. U must ONLY flash for I9500 version!. And if u successfully repartition ur device. U will lose all internal storage too. Ok good luck

You would know if you were carrier unlocked as you'd be able to put a SIM from a different carrier into the S4 and have the device work. To get you the correct ROM we still need to know your carrier.

secure download : enabled
Hi my galaxy s4 gt i9500 is stuck in a bootloop. When is boot I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"... when I boot into download mode I see "secure download : enabled" which wasn't usually there. Am trying to flash the pit file with twrp but Odin is failing.... is it because of the secure download enabled?? Please help me

You can't flash the PIT file with TWRP.
Do you have Odin? Do you have a copy of your stock ROM, downloaded either from Sammobile or samsung updates? If not, you'll need to get them. You then flash the firmware through Odin WITHOUT the PIT file. This should restore your device to operating condition. Afterward, you will of course need to root the S4 and flash a copy of TWRP to be able to install a custom ROM.

Carrier is Airtel

So i was going to install a custom ROM on my g530h via twrp, and im new to this
I downloaded the file that the app asked me to, and acidentally flashes It as a boot, not as a recovery, now the phone just stays in the download mode, and I cant install the stock ROM with Odin, It gives me a different setor every time
Please help

What file did you actually install like what model was it exactly for ?
Post some screenshots of odin.
