[Resolved] S4 stuck in boot screen (I have access to recovery mode) - General Questions and Answers

Hello guys, my rooted S4 I9500 is stuck at boot screen. I tried to flash liquid smooth but it failed, but I still have access to recovery mode though, I did factory reset/wipe data but the problem still persists. I'm kind of new to this, can anyone help me? Is my phone fixable or is just bricked for good?
Thanks.

If you can enter download mode... then flash stock rom via odin...
Sent from my GT-I9082 using xda app-developers app

I'll try that, if I can even find a stock ROM.

Thank you but I already fixed the problem, I went straight and go for Crash ROM instead of stock.
If I ever find that stock ROM I'll stil download it though.

[Q] Can someone help me in a problem with my Xperia C?

Hi guys, I have had Xperia C from about 2 days. I wanted to root it to change the system fonts and I did root it successfully. But when i replaced the system fonts using ROM TOOLBOX, the phone was stuck at the boot animation.
I do a hard reset by entering recovery mode, but nothing was changed, the phone is still stuck at the boot animation.
Can someone help me please??
Have you tried flashing the phone?
Did you take a backup of your ROM at any point?

You could try putting the phone into download mode, and then use a flash tool (developer.sonymobile com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/) to flash the phone back to stock.
This is a stock ROM: 4shared com/rar/wdOnCZw4/xperia_c_c2305_sony html
It may not be the stock ROM for your phone, you'll need to make sure it's 2305..

You could call it flash mode I guess, yeah.
But before trying a full flash, try going into recovery mode and selecting Wipe data/factory reset.
This will fix problems 99% of the time.
Also, I found a video that might aid you. I haven't watched it, but by the title it seems like it could help you.

Moto G stuck on motorola screen

Hi, I need some help
I usually wore the device, until it shut down, when I tried to turn on again, he was stuck on motorola logo screen
I already tried to enter in the bootloader and do a hard reset, but still not passing from the motorola screen.
I already looked in the topic of restore the firmware too, however when I tried it showed failure, I tried several firmwares, all of them gave the same problem.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Bootloop

Hi. Please help. I have been running CM10.1 on my rooted tablet and I decided to try CM11. I don't know what I have done but CM11 did not work so I tried to go back to CM10.1, and that just gets stuck on the boot screen. I have tried several different Roms and they all get stuck on the boot screen. The only Rom that will work is CM9.1? I don't know what I could have done to cause this. I am running Philz Touch 6.12.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your EFS seems to be broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system....
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.

Yeah. That makes sense as I did put a version of CWM touch on. And the trouble started after that. Just need to try and find a solution to sort it now. Thanks for your help

Latest CWM Touch for our Device 6.0.2.7 ... i am sure you used a file for a different device and that broke your EFS!
Do you still have the file? you can upload it for me and send me a private message with the link, i can take a look on it. Please don't post the file here in the thread (i do not like to see someone else flashing it and breaking his efs).

Tried flashing TWRP stuck at "recovery is not SEandroid enforcing"

So I updated my s6 to 6.0.1 OTA. Then decided to root using CF-root.
Now when I try installing the custom recovery it just stays at the screen. I can boot normally & into download mode. But it won't boot into recovery mode. I downloaded the latest version for my phone model and it still doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
Also, what is SEandroid?
And another question off topic. I usually use textdroider to change my dpi on my previous phones but it doesn't seem to work for my s6. Any ideas?

I use arter97 twrp 3.0.0.2 and when enter recovery mode, the phone show like that but it work well
The worst is waiting to see if the flash worked or not... it stays on the boot screen for a while :fingers-crossed:
If you flash the 3.0.2.1 version of twrp from here this issue should be resolved.

Problem with network

Hi all.
I bought galaxy s6 last week with android 5.1 (Network was still working). Next day I flashed stock android 6 with odin and then I flashed recovery, I rooted, flashed new modem and I installed Pure stock extra lite ROM. All worked, except network.. I can see that I have signal but when I try to call someone it shows "Not registered on network". So I try to flash new Alexis ROM with new bootloader (Hacker bootloader) but it isn't better and problem is still here. Anybody know what to do with this problem? Maybe try to install stock android rom with odin? I would be really greatful if anybody can help me..

Aha, restore your firmware through 'emergency recovery' google or youtube it for instructions.
= Emergency Recovery Smart Switch for *Galaxy S6* if necessary <
EDIT: Oh your network.. I'm afraid I just can tell you to do what I told you to fix it..
It will bring you back to stock Android 6 then root it..
EDIT2: Do what I told you and repeat all the steps you done:
Root and download the ROM but don't flash any modem cuz it will bring you back to the current problem.
Remember, no modems.

Is your IMEI still ok?
I made instructions on how to use Smart Switch here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/how-to-smart-switch-emergency-t3383448
but it will revert you back to stock fw.
Check your IMEI/sn with *#06#
If you get IMEI null, or 3500000000006, you will have to rewrite IMEI with a box, and before that Smart Switch initialization won`t help.

So I did it and after Smart switch installed the rom it restarted and screen "Device doesn't have DRK"
EDIT: Now it boots to recovery and there it writes: "Device does not have DRK (Device Root Key), contact to SW PL. Please flash ENG binary then install DRK".
Does anybody know what to do with this?
EDIT2: So I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSNbHvJdTk4) and I flashed space x kernel and it boots but it didn't solve the problem which I had.. still I can't make any call or sms.. Btw my IMEI is still same and it's fine.
EDIT3: It manually found networks but I can't connect.

Try to flash the ROM through Odin, grab it from SamMobile. Choose the correct model and region.

Hi Mlopik,
No your phone is not lost you just need to flash the modem you had before dealing with that problem.
Was the modem you flashed in the Aroma installer?

I see.
So you flashed a modem you didn't have to use.
Usually using Smart Switch works and gets everything back as usual.
Please wait until someone knows about modems come.
Again, your phone is not lost, have patience and good luck.

Your welcome pal, I wish I can help you but modems are the last thing I will touch. Don't lose hope, try to flash modems, search for correct modem for your phone.
Good luck!
EDIT: I also recommend flashing more than 3 ROMS sometimes that helps. Try to flash XtreStoLite ROM and Terminator and any popular ROM you see. If it asks to flash modem in the Aroma installer do it, flash the latest one.

EDIT: I tried to flash many ROMs but it didn't help.. I tried to flash so many modems and problem is still same. Maybe I can try to go back to 5.1? But how? Only install 5.1 firmware from sammmobile via odin and it's all?
