HELP! Recovery bootloop, no adb, no odin, no kies

Same EXACT problem here. Tried to install the new TWRP 2.6.3.1 to prep for a 4.3 ROM install. TWRP suggest a goo install .The Goo install ran through, goo was back to it's main menu and i hit reboot recovery, but still had 2.6.0. So, I renamed the 2.6.3.1 img and put it in the BHP090808_I545_ALL_IN_ONE_TOOL all in one dir, then flashed it through that. Went fine, odined it in, then rebooted into recovery like usual..... Except, recovery never comes up. it just sits there with the Recovery Booting.... thing and Samsung custom screen FOREVER! I tried to use all in one tool to reflash 2.6.0 and it fails becasue odin doesn't see the phone, even thought it's sitting on the booting recovery screen. Tried button hold to get into download, same problems, I get the vol up prompt, hit vol up, get the d/l mode screen for 1-3 secs and then it just reboots itself - into recovery booting screen if i don't try d/l mode,.And odin doesn't see it while the d/l mode vol up msg or d/l active screen is up. Only way to stop bootloops temporarily is batt pull.

So to summarize, recovery bootloop but never gets to recovery, adb can't connect, odin doesn't see the phone at ANY time, during recovery booting, d/l mode confirm screen, or short time of d/l mode screen itself, and I have no tarball to odin a twrp recovery in even if i could get odin going b/c they only offer img files now. Oh, and Kies doesn't even see the phone due to mods. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Also, after batt pull, phone sits with blank screen even when on charger/usb and i get a vibrate every 3 seconds continuously.

:crying:

Suggestions?

I545 loki'd, TWRP (read post), HyperDrive 9.1 MDK (which I'd like to keep at nearly any cost)

TIA, for all your conisderation and previous, current, and future help! :good:

Use Flashify to install TWRP. Goo hasn't worked correctly for some time now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Illogi.xbone:
This. Flashify is a really good app to use for flashing twrp and will even download for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Muaad'Dib:
But how are you supposed to use flashify if you're stuck in a boot loop.

twrp keeps booting into recovery mode, I can't get it to just load up my phone OS (CM12)

How do I get my phone to run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobodobo:
I know this is a ghost thread, but my wife still uses an S4 and somehow it got into the configuration where it would only boot into recovery mode. This trick worked, in fact, I didn't even get the question about booting into download mode; it just booted normally.

Hello

After installing CM10.1M2-I9001-STABLE-BY RDKK I am stuck on boot screen. Difference is that many other people can fix it with wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, but I dont. Also I cannot get into download mode, all I do, I can enter into recovery mode.

Hey all. Just picked up my s4 yesterday and I immediately rooted and flashed slimbean. It's a beautiful thing but I'd really like to find a bug free DEBLOATED touch wiz ROM just for sh*ts and giggles too. I'm hoping someone here can suggest one. Please, bug free and debloated.

Secondly, question about 4.2.2 and flashing ROMs. Is there still the issue caused by the multi user support which leads to a bunch of directories within directories on the internal SD card? Coming from the s3 and the note 2, I know that was an issue. After flashing a few 4.2.2 ROMs, you'd have all your SD card contents moved within a new "0" directory a bunch of times. The way I worked around it was to copy all the contents of my internal SD to my external SD. Then before flashing I'd wipe the internal SD card. Finally after flashing my new 4.2.2 ROM, I'd copy the contents back from external to internal.

Thanks in advance!

I was just looking for the pinout when I saw this post! amazing coincidence.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] turnip29:
I have tried to install the Hyperdrive ROM on my rooted Galaxy S4 between 10-15 times, following the instructions on sbreen94's main Hyperdrive page exactly, without success. I have an old version of Hyperdrive currently installed, so I know it's not some sort of permissions or root issue. The ROM installs and boots all the way through, but then 5-10 seconds after the boot finishes the phone restarts. This happens continuously (don't know if "bootloop" is the right term when the ROM boots fully and then keeps restarting). Can someone PLEASE help me figure this out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
Yep, this is a known issue and MANY have had the same exact problem.

To fix the bootloop, reflash Hyperdrive. This time DO NOT choose the Walkman Music App in the installation wizard (aroma). Hyperdrive 7.0 should boot up flawlessly.

To answer the question in the title, yes many touchwiz based custom roms have the same settings.

To answer the real question, which is if there is anything similar for AOSP based custom ROMs, not really. I'm not sure if any of the screen calibration from Perseus kernel works on Devil kernel or not, you'll have to ask in the dev thread for the kernel, linked in my sig.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawz101:
I understand that 4.3 will support Bluetooth 4.0/Bluetooth Low Energy, and more specifically Bluetooth Smart devices.

Does anyone have any experience with any Bluetooth heart rate monitor chest straps- even before 4.3- which were not supported by popular running apps?

To me, if a device has the Bluetooth logo, it meets Bluetooth protocol certifications and should work but these running apps say they only support a Polar or Zephyr (insert model #) here.

I didn't know if that is because that's all they test with or they're trying to hawk their own store products.

Personally, I prefer to invest in one heart rate chest strap that works with multiple apps if I decide I don't like one app at some point and how each of the running apps claim they only support 2 brands or models of something is pretty ridiculous.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] PatcheZ:
Indeed, looking for a battery door/plate, not a case

my current battery back is starting to crack in the two places i have magnets (for the touchstone mod).

i'm thinking a softer back would be less brittle and thus less prone to cracking...

so i'd be much obliged if someone could find one on ebay... which won't cost me $30 :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
You could consider the xtremeguard full body film. I just installed one today and the grip is dramatically improved lol. I got it on ebay for $5 shipped, its a 2 piece kit. Screen and back
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MisterTedster:
If you want to maximize grip to the touchstone dock, attach the xtremeguard to your phone, and another piece to the touchstone. The phone will grip really well to the touchstone.

As a side note, I've done the touchstone mod on the stock Sprint door, and the international version of the door, and the international battery door doesn't seem to crack from the deformation resulting from the magnets.

I haven't seen a battery cover other than the plastic one, i think your best bet would be one of those thin back cover.

Hi XDA forums,

Ive bought my LG for quite some time now and I've finally stopped worrying about battery life and started to want to watch movies on my device.

However this all came down crashing onto me when I tried to transfer a movie file (705mb) onto my phone.

I get this specific message when I try View attachment 2143251

The same thing happens when i use PC suite, View attachment 2143252

It seems like it doesn't matter what file it is, I've split the file in 2, 375Mb and 325mb and transfered that way but still no use.

In the past i have however successfully transfer photos and videos OUT of my phone onto my computer to free up space on the phone.

I have no sd card, using internal memory 16gb.

I am with Wind.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I recently bought a Mercedes Benz A-Class 2013 with the Audio 20 CD package. The in-car hands free works great, and I'm able to play music over Bluetooth from my phone using the standard music app on my phone (I've tried both a Sony Xperia S and my HTC One). The title, album and artist of the current song is displayed fine as well.

The problem is, I only use Spotify or Audible to listen to music or audiobooks. Never the default music app.

When I try to play music over Bluetooth using Spotify, it plays the selected track for exactly 5 seconds, before it stops, and the built-in computer tells me that the Bluetooth playback is paused. No title/album/artist information is displayed either.

Does anybody know how I can fix this? I'm up for rooting my phone if that is necessary, as long as I'm able to play music from my phone using Spotify.

In the online manual to the MB car computer, the HTC One isn't one if the supported units, but my Xperia S is. Still, neither work with Spotify over Bluetooth.

I have tried to put Spotify in both online and offline mode. Neither work.

Alternatively, does anybody know of a way I could tunnel the audio output (and song information) from Spotify and "mask" it as the default music player app? (I know this is pretty far out there and if even possible, is probably very hard to do, but I'm open to any and all suggestions.)

Any help is appreciated! :)
