I am new to rooting/installing new roms so I may leave out information that could be useful. Thanks for help in advance.
Found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 and did everything up to Step 12, is where I think something went wrong. I opened app, selected the CWM recovery did that and rebooted into recovery. Went back into where you had to select rom screen I believe and i just did "reboot device now" or whatever just got it to start again. Figured that was the safe choice. Then put the liquid smooth jb on phone and then I rebooted phone selected the Rom from SD card and clicked to start. Everything seemed to go fine said it installed and did reboot and now just sits at the Liquid Smooth reboot screen. I've done some battery pulls and just continues to do it. I've done the volume up/home/power button and just boots up into same screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not exactly sure what I did or how to fix it. Hoping I didn't royally mess up my phone.
It sounds like your didn't do a factory data reset before flashing the ROM. Go back into cwm and do a reset.

i've searched high and lo, been reading up on this forum for awhile now, reading the tutorials, etc. i must now hang my head in shame. managed to root my phone, put android revolution ROM on it, yay go me. decided i wanted to restore back to previous ROM. couldn't boot into bootloader via vol - and power, so i used ROM manager. went into backup/restore and picked a previous version. rebooted phone and now it hangs on the white HTC screen. i can take my battery out and put it back in and it will charge my phone. i think this might be my mistake, the battery was yellow when i tried all this. but it's been charging for awhile now, and still nothing. when i try to turn it on or the vol- and power it gets stuck on the white screen and is no longer charging. i've looked and looked and seen some suggestions of booting into recovery, etc. but i can't for some reason boot into anything. i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or what. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ok, when i take the sd card out, it boots just fine, so what would my next step be?
Haha....you didnt wipe your device clean before restoring from your backup!
Remove the battery and place it back in, hold the bottom volume button and lock button...you should boot into Hboot(white screen also)
give it like 20 seconds because it will search for a file and select the recovery option by scrolling using the volume keys.
factory reset phone and go into advanced-wipe dalvik-cache
now install any rom or any backup!
You must do this for every ROM and every restoring of a backup...
thank you for your response, but i corrected my mistake, and wiped everything, but the backups i was trying to go back too still didn't work. still got stuck on the screen. i was however able to flash the ROM i had, but it's very basic, and nothing like what i flashed from it originally.
Hi folks,
I searched the other forums but didn't see anything that looked like my incident so I'm hoping you can help.
I recently replaced my MicroSD card and took the opportunity to install CleanROM 6. This is my 4th time adding a custom rom so I was confident. I'm rooted already so I proceed to back up using Titanium Backup, booted to CWM, chose "wipe data / factory reset", and then walked through the process of installing CleanROM successfully from the zip file. Everything went smoothly like it has every previous time. When CleanROM installation completed, I returned to CWM and rebooted.
The problem is that when I turn the phone on, it boots to the "SAMSUNG GALAXY S III" SCREEN" and hangs there. I am able to get into both CWM Recovery and ODIN. Do I have a way to salvage my phone?
redownload the ROM and try again.

Good advice. I tried it again with the same results. However, I just tried cyanogenmod 10 with success. Thanks
Gave me an excuse to try cyanogenmod... I've been eyeing this for sometime. Thanks again.
Hi, everyone, I have a Nexus S and I am new to roms and stuff and by far I was using the latest Cyanogen mod, because the installation was easy. I decided to try this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2410844. And after a lot of reading, I figured that i have to install the latest Clockwork mod, so I did, then transferred the rom .zip file to my storage, rebooted in recovery and installed the zip. Then I rebooted again and all that is happening now is - an android text with highlights moving over it is standing in the center of my screen, but nothing loads... I waited like 30-40 minutes but it just stays there... Can somebody tell me if I was wrong with the instructions somewhere or this can be a problem with my device? Thanks a lot and sorry for posting a new thread about it, since I'm new, I'm not allowed to ask in the Developers Section.
I didn't Wipe/Factory reset. Could this be the problem?
It seems you got stuck in the boot loop itself.!! From next time on when you are about to install a new rom, make sure you do a full factory/data wipe.!!
Now that you are stuck in boot loop, just remove batter, insert it, hold simultaneously your volume up+power buttons. From the menu choose recovery. Then
1.data wipe/factory reset.
2. Wipe cache.
3. mounts and storage --> format system.!!
Now you are good to go. Make a clean install of your new ROM. I guess your device by now should work normally.!!

Hit thanks if I helped you.!!
Yes, I already did it, right after I asked, with the factory/reset function (I thought this is the problem, so I did it), everithing is ok now, but thanks for answering!
It's ok for the admins to delete that thread, thanks!
I also have a problem with same ROM.
Every once and a while after making a call or doing anything with Dialer he freezes and after that system just reboots. I've installed last version of CWM, updated SuperSu, installed Pa full version of GAPPS.
Hi all
I’m a complete noob at this and it seems like I have got myself into a bit of a pickle. Sorry for the massive description but I thought it would make it easier to get a good answer.
My Phone:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT 19505 LTE
PDA I9505XXUEMK8
CSC I9505BTUEMK5
MODEM I9505XXUEMK8
I successfully rooted my phone using Odin. In Odin I added the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5" file to the PDA field then rebooted the device. Then I added the "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx" file to the PDA field, rebooted the device and the phone automatically opened in TWRP recovery. In recovery mode I wiped the cache, system and dalvik cache. I then went to install, browsed to the "I9505 Official_Google_Edition_4.3_by_Jamal2367_Finaly_v2.0" file on my SD card, rebooted the device and the Google logo came up on the screen for a few minutes and all was good. Got my new ROM, ran a root checker and all was good.
After some research I decided I wanted to use the Pacman ROM as it seemed to a lot more customisable. Using the same method I went to TWRP recovery wiped the cache, system, and dalvik cache. I then went to Install, browsed for the pacman ROM and the Gapps file on my SD card and everything installed ok, the phone restarted and the pacman logo came up everything was fine. Although I did notice on start up that I got this message.(and have had this error message ever since)
kernel is not seandriod enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel
After using the Pacman ROM for a day I noticed a lot of bugs like my apps would disappear, I couldn't use my banking apps and my phone was generally performing very badly. So I decided to remove the ROM and use CyanogenMod ROM under the recommendation of a friend. So again I pressed home+power+vol up to enter recovery mode but this time it didn’t enter the TWRP recovery it entered the stock recovery mode. This was slightly concerning but I proceeded to use the list menu and cleared the cache etc, browsed the SD card and went to the CyanogenMod 10.2 ROM I previously downloaded. It began to install but in red I got the error message stating that I didn’t have the right permission or signature. The phone rebooted back to the Pacman ROM. I tried the above three times and it still continued to boot back into Pacman ROM sometimes I struggled to even get back into recovery mode.
Soooooo I decided to try and go back to the Google Edition 4.3 ROM and play it safe, using the method from my first paragraph. But when it installed through TWRP I got an error message saying cant find MD5 file. The device rebooted and the Google edition logo came up on the screen but it seems to be locked in a loop. The Google logo wont go away and the phone vibrates once then three times quickly every 10 seconds.
I can still enter both TWRP recover and Download Mode. But I don’t want to mess around with it anymore without getting some advice. Any help would be much appreciated as I really need my phone working.
Thanks again
Aiden
Did you create a backup while on your first run with google edition? If so wipe cache, system, and dalvik and restore to your backup. Should put you back to where you began.

I know I should, but I didnt. Is it still fixable ?
*Update*
Couldnt help myself had to have a tinker around. Managed to get Cyanogenmod 10 working with Gapps. Gonna see how I get on with this. Although still would like to know I have been having all these problems.
Sometimes things just dont go as planned: p I have easily soft bricked my phone around 10 times and always able to fix it. You really should have made a stock backup before flashing anything. I recommend doing it now so you at least have a known working configuation backed up for future use. Trust me backups are your friends!

Hello, I need serious help with my phone.
So, after a long while of having my phone rooted, and had a case of boot loop with twrp, I decided to go back to stock os and hung up the root days. I thought i did it right by getting a stock os and flashed it, and it worked for couple months, until yesterday.
My phone keeps going into Cyanogen Recovery, I tried rebooting so many times, once it did boot up to OS, but it went back after i restarted phone or it died.
Now I can't no longer get back, I thought factory resetting will work but it didn't. (Tried both wipe cache partition and Full factory reset option from the recovery) I found unroot your phone toolkits, thinking it could help fix my problem and just unroot/ give me back to OS (I wished i found this before flashing that custom stock rom).
But the toolkit doesn't work for me, it finds adb devices, but it cant find fast boot devices, because my phone cant even go into fast boot.
I tried manual, and the option from the recovery, it keeps going back to recovery. I have an option for apply update, and then apply from ADB, that was the only way for my pc to recognize my phone from adb devices. Any clues on how to fix?

Will try, Ill respond back if anything happens!
Hmm I'm still having trouble because, I can't get into fast boot for some reason. It's keep going back to Cyanogen recovery. It has the option to reload into bootloader, but goes into cyanogen recovery again.
There is an option in dev options, uncheck the "update cyanogen recovery" and flash twrp again
