CDMA Hero Hangs on htc screen

Hi-
I have a Sprint Hero and have flashed several images trying to get a working phone again but the phone freezes at the HTC screen and I have to pull the battery and reboot to Recovery. Is this common and what is generally the fix?
I rooted this morning using the new UnRevoked tool, installed ROM Manager, ran a backup from Clockwork manager, used Rom Manager to download Rom and install, everything seemed to work but then never would go past the HTC screen.
I tried to recover and it also seemingly worked but with the same issue. I have Wiped Data, Wiped Cache and tried to reload several different ROMs in this fashion but all have had the same results. This is my only phone and I am getting frustrated. Any help would be most appreciated.

I finally made it, Soft-Brick in another Way... -.-

Yeah, i finally made it. I bought a TMO-DE One S (With S4 Processor) 5 Days ago, unlocked the Bootloader (HBoot 1.09), rooted and SuperCID´d it, installed CWM Touch and installed TrickDriod V8.0 incl. its Tweak Package. After that i installed another Radio and everything was fine. It could have been SO easy, but i just HAD to do more, and now its soft-bricked.
At all TrickDroid is a really good ROM, but i hated the thingy that it shows G symbol instead of H when getting HSPA speeds. So i decided to dump it and go for a 4.0.4 / Sense 4.1 Stock Rom without branding instead until a JB / Sense Rom comes out. And thats were the trouble started. i flashed the stock rom with CWM, installed the boot.img that came shipped with it and booted it up. I did a full wipe before flashing. It booted up, Sense Stock Background Image came on and it showed "Unfortunately Wiper App is closed" at the "Preparing phone storage" stage. After OK´ing that another Screen came up about some system service wouldnt respond (dont know the exact Text anymore) wich i could close or wait for it. No matter what i do, or if i do nothing, after ~20 seconds the phone crashes and restarts. After the first restart the phone only boots into a black screen but with the Android bar at the top is working with time, battery-charging and a warning smybol. But the Phone wont react to anything i do except for lockscreen button. When its "online" i can push files via adb to the internal SDCard so i thought it wouldnt be a big problem. i pushed ONE MaximuS V2.5 ROM to the SD Card, booted into CWM and installed it. then flashed the boot.img of it via fastboot and booted it up. but nothing happens. still black screen with bar on top and not reacting phone that reboots every 20 seconds. i allready tried full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and i dont really know what to do now.
A broken SD Partion cant be since i can push files via ADB to it and install them with CWM. But whatever i try to install every ROM boots only in this blackscreen. its clearly not hanging in bootloader, but in android itself. I dont really know what to do, and returning to my dealer is no option since Rooting, SuperCID´ing and flashing another ROM. You maybe have a Idea what to do now?
Peace
TK
PS: Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it
Edit: Okey, i got something. i formatted everything i could in CWM, and now (as its now supposed) it hangs in bootloader since no system is there for booting. The good thing is in CWM i get ADB Connection so i can still push files to the SDCard. Im now trying installing a ROM again. So at least i have a starting Point if it fails again
Edit 2: Okey, found it. The "Stock" ROM is broken, not my Phones Fault. and MaximuS just doesnt install right so nothing was changed. Installed TrickDroid again for testing and everything is fine again. Close this one...

Stuck in a loop, need help

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!

[Q] How do I restore Soft bricked SCH1535 from CM unofficial 4.4.2

I rooted my SCH 1535 and installed CM Version 11-20140215-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw. Android 4.4.2 (Baseband: l535VRBLMD3) (Kernel:3.4.80-cm
It was working OK except in order to see my WiFi I had to reboot every time WiFi was turned off.
Plus I was having trouble updating ROMs with ROM Manager.
I had both TWRP & CM installed, although the phone defaulted to TWRP in recovery.
I downloaded seveeral CM ROMs via the CM updater in Settings > About Phone & wasn't able to flash.
So, I (stupidly) WIPED with TWRP
Now, I still have the CM KitKat ROM on my phone but when I try Play Store it starts & immediately closes.
Android Keyboard stops as soon as I boot up, so i can't log even into my Google account.
I'm pretty sure I'm no longer rooted & there's no recovery - in fact the Return, Menu & Volume buttons don't seem to work.
Most of my apps are gone except for Google & Samsung, but I can't log in.
I did do a nandroid backup & have Internal & Card backups on my PC as well as Odin.
So, my question is Should I try to restore to stock and start over? (What's the best way to do that from my build?)
or do I go for a KItKat ROM? (any suggestions?)
I want to make sure I have the proper recovery, bootloader (SuperSU_Bootloader_FIXED.zip ?)
I am wide open to suggestions on the best way to proceed. I'm really hesitant to try the Factory Data Reset - since I've heard that can brick a phone completely.
Thanks!

Help Phone wont start, I am not sure if its bircked.

I am really not sure what happened to the phone but I will tell all I did that might have connection to the current sitiuation.
I rooted the phone a while back , no issues with root.
As internal memory is low on this phone (4 gbs) I used link2SD.I have used in past with other phones never had a issue but this time the apps which were linked magically disappeared and some wont start saying " Application has stopped working " , So I decided to , oh wait I forgot I also had TWRP custom recovery on this phone too , no issues happened with it either, yet. So I decided to restore to a backup I made with TWRP a few days ago, I have previously done this thing and it worked perfectly unlike this time.I booted to recovery then restored to that backup but when I booted back the device wouldn't start! All it was showing was the boot screen(circles moving in weird pattern) I waited around 3 hours then I decided to factory reset , I took out the battery (BAM I did a mistake here I guess) went to recovery did a normal factory reset then again I was at the boot screen looking at circles This time I gave a around 10 hours but it still didnt load up , then I took out the battery again next what I see it when I try to start my phone NOTHING WILL HAPPEN only screen turns on for like few miliseconds showing only back screen (NO KARBON LOGO OR ANYTHING) and goes off again. I tried pressing Vol Up and choose recovery mode but it wont let me go in recovery it turns off again as soon I choose okay (RECOVERY DONT LOAD AT ALL NOT EVEN THE LOGO). Please explain what happened to phone and how can I fix it. :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
