Having an issue that I cant seem to figure out. I have been using various roms eg Omega V7,S4 Google Edition V16, Fox Hound 1.1 etc. They all install fine, factory reset before and after wiping the various cashes as required. I also format the SD storage to be sure, but once up and running, apps installed, every time I restart the phone or for some reason it freezes it just get stuck at the white Samsung S4 logo.
If i go back in to recovery (TWRP 2.6.0.0) factory reset does nothing to fix this. I have also noticed that sometimes the internal SD shows as 0 Mb, and I have to reformat this to re-install a ROM. (Getting corrupt some how?) Only re-installing the ROM from fresh seems to get my phone up and running again. Until something happens. Any ideas?
I follow all instructions as detailed, and never come across this issue with my S3.
Ok after trying a few things the only thing that seemed to fix the problem was reflashing stock firmware using oden.
I had to reformat the internal storage again as this was acting like it was encrypted, which it was not. Think this problem that caused my phone not to boot when when restarted.
No Idea why it did this but its fixed now.

Hi, thanks for looking at this.
I have a Galaxy S 4 Google Edition phone. I rooted it, and I have TWRP 2.5.0.2 running on it. I have backed up my system a few times.
I tried flashing a rom of cyanogenmod for the first time today, cm-10.1-20130801-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip (http://get.cm/get/jenkins/36550/cm-10.1-20130801-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip)
I wasn't having any luck with the boot, so I turned to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370101, which utilized a modified updater-script. That still was giving me no dice, so I tried editing the updater-script myself. Cyanogenmod boot-up appears! . . . and then it just keeps spinning. I turn off phone, boot into custom recovery, factory reset phone, try again. Same deal, try it again. Factory reset again, then I try restoring my device so that I can try again with different parameters. TWRP says that the restore is successful. This turns out to be not true, however, as when I reboot, the Google logo shows up, vanishes, and then nothing happens.
This is where I'm stuck. I can boot into TWRP, but that's it. Everytime I try to wipe dalvik or data, it fails. Restores supposedly work, but they don't, no matter if I'm restoring just system, or system data and cache. I have tried mounting my sd card so that I might load another rom, but even though TWRP says "USB Storage Mounted", nothing happens.
I'm completely at a loss here. I simply can't afford to brick a $700 phone. This is crazy.
PLEASE HELP

PROBLEM FIXED!
So I have an Canadian Note 3, SM-N9008W8 phone.
I had it rooted without issue. I then installed TWRP.
Once I install X-Note, I started to have issues. At first it worked, booted into it fine. Then WiFi & Mobile didn't work, so I found a fix, installed the WiFi fix, rebooted, then the mobile fix, rebooted. Though mobile still didn't work, so I tried factory reset, and a re-install of them all to fix it, but now it just keeps rebooting. Either it gets to the booting screen and keeps rebooting, or sometimes it boots into the OS, but after a bit it reboots.
The original zip file for the OS is not on the phone anymore, so I can't even try a re-install of it, and I have done a factory/data reset a few times, same issue, its stuck.
So now I don't know what to do.

Yes latest TWRP, and battery pull did nothing. The phone is completely screwed
Where else would I find stock ODIN files for Canadian note 3?
samsung-updates.com - and a bit of googling if not there, there will be some somewhere.
Found one but no luck.
Somehow after using Odin and putting stock on there, its still boot looping. I have tried it 12 times, differnet ways, no luck. It makes no sense.
Maybe its Windows 8.1? I just tried on Windows 7, but now Odin shows FAIL when I did it.
I was on X-note and I have Same problem since yesterday I did factory reset and install different rom but doesn't work I install original rom by odin but still rebooting and no signal and wifi doesn't work so what's the problem is it software or hardware ..?

My i9505 was running stock KitKat from Samsung and I tried to install CM13 ROM.
So I used Odin to root the phone and installed TWRP 2.8.6.0. After that I flashed the CM13 ROM and the Gapps Nano.
I got as far as rebooting into CM13. But then the "Google Play Store has stopped working" message keeps popping up starting from the initial setup phase. I ignored the message and went on to setup the wifi but couldn't progress any further. The wifi was detected and connected but then it was stuck on the Checking Connection/Software Update step.
I tried to reflash the rom and gapps again to no avail. The third time to Format Data from TWRP before reflashing - still didn't make a difference.
What's worst is now I cannot even get into TWRP! Whenever I press Vol Up + Power + Home, it will show the small 'entering recovery' message momentarily on the top left corner but then it phone simply restarted again.
I tried re-flashing TWRP using Odin, but still didn't work.
I'm stuck now, cannot get into the OS nor the recovery. Any suggestion as to what to do?
Thank you.

Format Data from twrp sometime corrupts the file system and brick the phone. (It's happened to me once)
The best way is to flash official firmware via odin and start from there.
I see - I'll try re-flashing the official rom. Btw, would you recommend CWM recovery instead then? Honestly, I'm not very proficient with this whole thing. The reason why I formatted was because I still could see all of my old folders in the phone memory. So I thought Factory Reset didn't really clean up my old rom data.
What do I have to do if I want to start with a really clean slate with CM13 (after reflashing the official one first)?
Also, I still have the issue of CM13 setup being stuck at the Software Update step (right after Wifi setup). Any clue why that happened?
Thanks for taking the time to reply.

CWM is outdated. Your best bet is TWRP. Try version 3.0.0.
Factory reset doesn't wipe your internal memory, if that's what you mean, you will have to do it manually.
Also, I recommend wiping data, cache, dalvik and system partitions manually from the advanced wipe menu. Factory reset only wipes data and caches, not system.
Oh, and about that stuck at setup issue, just skip that step if possible, you can still change that crap later
If you are unable to set up the ROM, you could flash back to a completely stock ROM and start over.
OK, I'm back on stock Android now.
Before I try flashing CM13 again, I just need suggestions about these two issues I had from previous try:
Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped
I have searched for similar issues but can't quite pinpoint the cause. I used the correct GApps for my device and I also removed my SD card prior to installing.
Stuck on Check Connection/Software Update step
Last time I was stuck at this point and, responding to GDReaper, this step couldn't be skipped. The option was grayed out.

The sd card has nothing to do with it.
Sometimes gapps don't work on certain roms.
Just try another package.
If you use A-Gapps, the whole first time setup step will be skipped altogether. So that means that you won't run into the risk of getting stuck at that step again.
Or, after flashing the rom, you could use the recovery file manager to delete the setupwizard.apk after you flashed gapps. That should also prevent the initial setup process from initializing at first boot.

You probably used Opengapps. That also gives me a lot of errors.
Use Bankgs Gapps instead. They always work for me.

I used Open GApps, as was recommended in the CM13 post. So are you saying that my two issues were caused solely by the GApps? Because I thought me being stuck at Software Update was due to something else.

There are two files - one says Dynamic. But the file sizes are exactly the same. Is there any difference?

Not that I know. Just pick the one without Dynamic.

The initial setup process is related to gapps. And I don't recall there being any software update requests during the initial setup. It tells me to wait while it scans for network and WiFis, but I always skip those steps.
Open gapps sometimes work and sometimes they don't. It varies from day to day, since they are updated daily.
Just find a gapps package that works and stick to it until another version of android.
I just want to report back that my CM13 works perfectly with Banks GApps. Thanks to everyone who has helped!
Hey,
I have been using the ColtOS rom based on Oreo 8.1.0 for quite sometime now. I had it rooted with Magisk too. I have the latest version of TWRP installed (version 3.3.0). I had no problem until now where it just randomly tried to reboot after I ended a call. It did reboot fine once, but it was when i ended a second call that it got stuck in a bootloop.
I have tried everything, clearing the cache/Dalvik , wipe data and system and flashed three different Oreo ROMs, uninstalling Magisk. However, I can only go as far as the set-up screen after the new ROM boots, after which it goes back to rebooting itself endlessly.
I seem to have exhausted all my options, any kind of help to restore my phone will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I have found out that I can flash new ROM and even set up the phone by logging into Google, only when I connect my phone to my laptop. It even installs all the previous apps and data and thats it. It reboots to the lockscreen and when I try to unlock it, it reboots again. And this is all only when I keep the phone connected to my laptop, otherwise,it keeps looping into the bootscreen logo.
