In recovery select Wipe Factory Reset
Then Wipe cache and then reboot.
It should work.
Hi guys,
Pretty much new to Android. But, I'm pretty sane at following instructions.
Some how this makes me want to give up! Been at this for 5 hours and over but still can't find a solution :crying:
So I'm sitting here with an S4 i9505
I rooted the phone.
Root: Check!
Somehow tried installing TWRP using odin for the phone. It showed a success but I'm not able to boot to that.
Now I'm trying to unlock the bootloader to get TWRP to work.
I install Android Studio, get the google USB drive update ( deleted android studio later after looking at a million threads)
The phone is by default always installing as Samsung ADB interface on my computer. Looking at the device manager.
I launch ADB, I check my devices - adb devices - seems to work fine. Identifies my device.
2. abd reboot bootloader - works fine - i end up with the ODIN screen on my phone( download mode) - Press Volume up to continue - Ok, ready
3. fastboot devices - doesn't return anything
I check the device manager for any exclamation marks on any new driver. It's completely fine. Collapsed all the tabs and expanded to check one by one. I don't find any unknown device to which I can update the driver to the ADB Composite USB interface.
There is absolutely nothing in the Device manager even after me being in download mode.
Please help this is driving me nuts! I need to figure this out. After trying out possibly everything. I'm here for help.
I need to know how to fix this. I have this awesome CM13 rom that I want to flash onto my phone
Looking forward to whatever I can get. TIA
There's absolutely nothing to unlock.
Untick auto reboot in Odin and try again.
If all else fails, try installing it with the app method (requires root). In fact, TeamWin themselves recommend using the app method. So there you go.
Now there's a mount issue! Will this ever end XD

[UPDATE]
Figured it out.
Erased the data which helped me get rid of the encryption.
Then I was able to go ahead and perform a proper wipe.
Installed LineageOS on the phone.
Haven't found any issues yet.

Thanks for your help. Special cheers to Pwnycorn for helping me not waste my time further!

Is/was your data encrypted?

Yup it was encrypted. I had to do a complete wipe to remove the encryption.
Post the wipe, I was able to install the OS and perform a factory reset.

TWRP cannot decrypt encrypted data, that is why it failed.
A complete wipe was recommended anyway, since you came from a completely different kind of ROM.
I have a problem. In TWRP, the only thing my Cool1 cannot mount is persist. Every execution always showing "Failed to mount '/persist' (Invalid argument)". What should I do? Change TWRP?
I was helped by downloading the file from the thread below and restoring "backup" as a partition backup by TWRP

the file might have been removed from the link you provided. if you still have the backup, can you please provide it. @dziubson
