Hey guys so recently I had rooted my i537 S4 active and have been researching and modifying here and there until i decided to get a custom ROM. I found WickedROM via this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491762 and considering it had worked on this person's i537 I decided to flash the ROM. After flashing I had become stuck in a bootloop and I can't get to anything besides DOWNLOAD MODE. Due to this problem I decided to run a stock firmware via Odin with this one_click http://rootzwiki.com/topic/44121-sgh-i537-i537ucuamf1-galaxy-s4-active/ this filled up until the bar was about 90% and then all of a sudden fails at <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4. I've tried other firmwares with no luck and have resorted to posting about this problem. please help and guide me in the right direction, i believe in you XDA!

Here is a thread about unbricking your device: [Restore to Defaults] ODIN for AT&T i537 (good for a soft brick!).
Hope that it works in your case.
If you have further questions about your device, please ask in the Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
BTW, have you followed the installation instructions ... especially "2. Create ROM slot in SafeStrap"?
You have to use SafeTrap recovery to flash a custom ROM into the ROM slot, as the bootloader is locked.
And consider the warning in post #2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46656279&postcount=2).
Best to ask in this thread or the Q&A forum I linked above.

So a few days ago i downloaded a rom for my Telus SGH-i337m which gave me apps and the features from the S5. I installed it and all that, but then it failed. So i tried to use my back up but it was corrupted as well. So I thought i can go online and find a stock image, i found many, but then I think i installed the image for a GT505 by accident. This gave me my software back but then i could't use my wifi or my data. So i found a proper SGH-i337m rom and installed it, my wifi came back but my data didnt. I thought it was because of the wrong modem, so i installed a few different modems and nothing worked. But today when i downloaded a different modem and installed it using odin mobile pro. It was installing and it rebooted, but then it got stuck there with the ODIN logo. I removed the battery and turned the phone on but not it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..... please connect to kies". I tried that but my phone doesnt connect to the computer. HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You were on the right track until the phone got stuck. No worries, we will have you sorted out and on happy path.
First off pull the battery then while pressing Volume Down +Home+Power. Keep on pressing the buttons until you see Downloading Screen. This is called the Download Mode on your phone.
Next, please download PC Version of the Odin making sure the version is 3.07 or higher. Remove Kies or Odin won't connect to the phone. Also download the correct STOCK firmware for your phone. You can flash it via Odin on PC. Here are a few threads that will help you in this direction.
I believe that's a AT&T variant of Galaxy S4. So this thread [INDEX] All things AT&T MK2, NB1, and NC1 (including ROMs) should help. That forum also covers Canadian Variants of S4 as well just so you are aware.
Lastly, please feel free to post in [GUIDE][INFO] The beginner's info thread (aka. the noob helper)
if you find yourself still stuck.
which section do i put the .md5 file under in ODIN? i tried in AP but it failed

I rooted my SM-T111 with method given here:
http://techbeasts.com/2014/07/09/install-cwmtwrp-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-lite-sm-t110sm-t111/
Well rooting went smoothly,afterwards I just simply went to Recovery Mode(Just to explore).Afterwards I decided to reboot into system and kept aside my tab and went to complete some work.When I came back I found that it was still at the TWRP recovery page.I tried rebooting again and again and again...
Everytime I kept returning to the same screen.
I searched around the web and came across some solutions,however none of them are completely for my device so I want to ask for some advice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
http://androidforums.com/threads/at-t-im-stuck-in-twrp-help.745395/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570879
Considering that I never actually Flashed a ROM or Did an OTA update , would the above mentioned methods work without f*cking my tab more than it already is.
Should I flash a ROM for SM-T111 and check or After flashing ROM use the code or do something else.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Any Help is appreciated.
Hello and welcome to XDA.
You are trying to search in the wrong forums.
I'd suggest to to register an account on XDA and post your questions Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting or Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting here.
Always read carefully before flashing anything.
Good luck
My Samsung Galaxy S6 running Lollipop 5.1.1 is stuck in a boot loop after I installed Clockwork whilst I had TWRP installed. I can't access either recovery mode. I can only access download mode but for some reason, Odin keeps crashing when I try to install the Stock ROM file. Hoping there's a better way. Thanks in advance.
Hi, and thanks for using XDA Assist.
First thing first. It wasn't a mistake. That is how you install a new custom recovery over the old. Flashing a new one overwrites the old one.
I am going to have this thread moved to the S6 Q&A forum, where there will be experts with the S6 that can help you further.
Good luck!
As Odin fixed your issue, this thread is closed.
If you have further questions, you can post them in the help section for your device

Hi,
I have rooted a few devices, however this is the first time I have encountered a bootloop error.
Specifically I used Odin and ran CF Auto Root (kltemetropcs smg900t1) from Chainfires DL site
chainfire 405 CF-Root
Device is a Galaxy S5 G900T1 (metro pcs) running Lollipop.
Oden successfully completed all threads. Didn't show any errors, however the phone never finished its boot cycle,
it stops at the carrier logo screen.
I noticed that odin deletes any previous files so I tried a second time using the same CFroot, still the same outcome.
I was thinking of doing a factory reset after reading some other forums, or reinstalling factory ROMs though this is getting to the limit on my knowledge.
I'm unsure of what I should try next, or even where to ask.
Anyone able to help or know where I can ask?

Hi 8thvision
Thanks for using XDA Assist and I can assure you that you came to the right place :good:
As you, I'm a happy owner of a S5 and will try to guide you through this. Please excuse me but, as you didn't commented the what you already reviewed, I may be repetitive here.
The first resource you should access is Chainfire's main thread regarding the S5 (link below). All experienced user reports are in there and they may be helpful for your problem.
[SM-G900*] CF-Auto-Root
