Try to reboot into recovery. Normally it helps. If not flash it with Odin again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pod0087:
This isn't unusual. You just have to keep retrying booting into recovery until it eventually loads. Just another part of TWRP that doesn't work for the s4!

Strange issue.....I can flash roms with twrp, backup, and restore.....but I can never boot into anything more than once!

The initial reboot after an install/restore/etc works great - everything is in place. but after that 2nd boot, I'm stuck at the Samsung Galaxy i9505 screen... every time!

Anyone else run into this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sfynx1:
No never had that happen to me, it works just great, even using my own theme on it, only real issue is sometimes i get stuck on twrp loading screen, i just power down and re-enter twrp and everything runs great, i've been testing quite a lot of roms and a lot of restores to my backups without any problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gekkonaut:
I was on an older TWRP .. upgraded to 2.6.3.0....and now things are much much worse. hanging on "Updating partition tables" when I wipe. I can still boot into TWRP.

I think my only option here is to go back to Phillz CWM and restore my original stock backup. Phillz worked great for backups/restores, but I couldn't flash any roms with it.

I wonder why TWRP works perfectly for some, and barely at all for others ..

Also, for those of us with TWRP issues, what's the best alternative? Does normal CWM (not Phillz) work with flashing most stuff on the i9505?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vitanet:
dont work! i dont know how to get it work! i install via odin and dont get it, then i try goomanager and dont work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] KenHua:
I have similar problem! When I wipe cache TWRP would try to format the System partition into ext4 format and would always fail. It would be unable to mount System thereafter and TWRP would freeze up. I have to force power it off and reboot back into TWRP recovery and install Phiz or CWM so that I can re-Format the system partition in order to install zip etc from there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gekkonaut:
Yes - that's what I did. I'm just staying away from AOSP roms now, since TWRP doesn't seem to be stable on [at least my] i9505, and I can't seem to install any AOSP stuff with CWM without it being broken in all kinds of ways.

On Omega at the moment - still dealing with ugly Samsung UI's (minus the launcher), but at least it's not full of bloat and harassing me to upgrade to the new locked down crap!

Flashcounter should be increased since you flash a custom recovery...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sh4z:
+1 no point guessing here it would be nice to know.

[MENTION=4384292]tcntad[/MENTION] ofc flash counter increases, but does that answer the question? If flash counter increases does that control official status? Or is it an MD5 or hash of some sort...

Or something simpler; if counter > 1 = modified; else official?

on a boot, try holding only power and vol up.

after device vibrates for the first time, then release power and keep holding vol up.

i never got into recovery holding all three buttons depressed.

this worked for me.

After reboot, i got a message that my Ext SD card is unmounted and i can remove it.

I was looking in setting, and really, Ext SD card was unmounted.

I was mounted ir manually, after that i can use it.

Now after some installs of my Apps i was rebooted one more time,and got the same message (about Ext SDCard unmounted).

But that time if i try to mount it manually in setting, it dont't work anymore...

I was rebooted many times,but Ext SD Card can't be mounted (either after reboot nor manually).

I've flashed orig. Recovery again, and after reboot Ext SDCard is mounted as always...

Very strange...

Anyone have an idea or some points, what can be here wrong?

I'd like to use TWRP, but i need ext SDCard aswell...

Appreciate much any help...
