If you do have a mdk phone version and had a recovery. Your recovery should still be there.

From a power off state hold volume up and press power until it vibrates. Let go of power and keep holding volume up until you see the blue text. Then let go and wait.

I use PDAnet for drivers. You could try it... Just Google PDAnet download from your PC and install it. Nothing to lose, right?

Are you using a factory usb cable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I did have recovery but that didn't work still goes straight to Odin Mode

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Very true. Trying now other than that I believe this phone is now a 500 paper weight or mistake... still don't understand how doing a simple recovery with TWRP bricks a phone. Had 3 recoveries one at mdk root, one on ME7 root Andy's not ota, and one right before I tried to install. So don't see it being due to OTA don't think i would be able to back up and reboot without safe strap which I have never used. No Money no Phone.. uhhh worst time ever.

Can't use Pda net due to you have to have usb debugging turned on and my phone won't get past odin. Thanks for the try though

Yes using the one that came with the phone. I can try my wifes cable as she has the same phone just not rooted or broke now.

Same result. :(

Have you tried rebooting your pc?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
that i have not tried... at this point willing to try anything brb rebooting pc and trying again.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

Negative on the reboot. Still can't get past Odin mode on phone and Kies doesn't ever connect to it to do anything. I guess I will have to say I lost my phone to get a replacement and have to come off some cash for that. I don't think they will give me a phone if i send this back the way it is due to the fact that custom still pops up. I don't think they will believe a OTA did that. any opinions?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdub251:
This may have to do with the update. I had the Note 3 awhile and I couldn't install them on there. However when you go into the tts settings and install the English hd voice it will auto install Samsung apps. Make sure you are signed into you Samsung account already. Bout to flash this bad boy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I don't recommend a dirty flash. If you want to keep your current apps use TiBU.

Can anyone confirm that the middle animation scales stays set after opening camera app? For instance on the Note 3 if you set those to 0.5 and then opened the camera it would revert back 1.0

Best advice would be old&slows by trying another pc. Your phone should connect to Odin eventually. I can't see it being a paper weight.

ah. uninstall all the Samsung drivers and restart. once you restarted create a new user on your computer. restart then open up new user. install your Sammy drivers then plug in your phone. let the drivers install. then flash.

Try to uninstall the phone drivers and any other phone drivers (HTC, LG, etc.). Run a registry cleaner. Reboot computer, then reinstall Samsung drivers.

Hey Gunnermike,

I was reading you post so I need to create a new user id on my computer and download kies to that user? Or just let it find the drivers via pc? I am on a PC like Old&Slow said. I do have another computer as well to try anything on. I am open to all ideas at this point. I have not called verizon yet in hopes of getting this thing back working. I just want to confirm steps so I don't make any errors. So delete kies from my Computer and all Sammy drivers, create a new user and install sammy drivers via kies? or just plug and play drivers? Thanks for you help in this matter it is greatly appreciated. Along with Old&Slow and everyone else that have been throwing ideas to try. Gonna wait for your response to do this. My luck I could make it worse.

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

lol ya thought about that or some way to destroy it so I can send it back without having to pay lost fee. But i would rather try and fix it. Gonna be a long night trying to get this going again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
You using Kies or Odin?

Just install plug and play drivers. Don't use Kies. Use Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
:p

forget kies entirely. Follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 and make sure you download the MDK version.

edit: haha, ninja'd by gunnermike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
For that matter, try Odin first, before uninstalling and all that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok I got it to boot up but using that thread you posted thanks so much. Now I have a big rectangle in the middle of my screen telling me that I have PDA:MDK , Phone i656vzwamdk, CSC:i545vzwamdk and some other stuff. I did a screen shot trying to upload here in a second maybe this will shed some light on my problem. Thanks all to everyone helping me through this crysis. It never goes away weird. Atlease I am past the Odin screen so there is hope i hope lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
looks like you have o bunch of other drivers installed you don't need. uninstall them and reinstall the plug and play drivers. Stop using kies. Use Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Stop. Uninstall Kies entirely. Then uninstall the Samsung drivers. Shut down your PC and take a 5 minute break. Reboot, then reinstall Samsung drivers, preferably the latest ones. Don't plug your phone into your PC yet, reboot one more time then plugin your phone to your PC while in download mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok this is where I stand. I attached 2 screen shots so everyone can see what I am talking about.

at this point can I do what you are talking about Surge1223? and if so Should I just flash the 4.3 that Old&Slow has then run the root after it as stated in the op?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Your wife will let you live another day:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I know right lol. So at this point do I flash your rom in odin? I was flashing it through TWRP. (which could have been my problem besides the bad download that i had) or what would you do at this point. Thanks ahead to everyone getting me through this .. you all might have saved my life for real lol . Where is the best place to get up to date drivers all the ones I find on Samsung's site are from 2012
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cell128:
This rom should get its own name. Maybe beanstock?dunno if its already in use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
My rom is meant to be flashed in recovery. My recovery of choice is cwm, but to each his own. You had an md5 mismatch earlier so if you are going to install it, make sure you download again and check the md5 first.

I would but that rectangle stays in the middle of my screen even through apps can't have a phone like that and I can't move apps to sd as I am back to MDK which doesn't have that feature. So i have to do something

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

thats what shows up when I just hit what my MD5 is. If i check others like your rom or Hyperdrive it shows something different. So my question is how do i get my MD5 to match? Not understanding why mine is different when I am on MDK.

Your downloads are bad. My download matches perfectly. Download the rom on your pc and either use a md5 program to check it or put it on your SD card and use es file explorer to verify md5. Are you downloading to your computer or phone?

I'm getting blown up with non stop alerts about no APN specified on device even though everything works just fine. Anyone experience the same thing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Thanks and sorry. But visually there really isn't much difference from 4.2.2. The main differences are underhood changes like support for gear watch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
No, I haven't seen that at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Downloading on my computer. How is this ever gonna work with the MD5# i have? The number i posted is what my phone is on not the 4.3 MD5. So no matter how many times i download it it will never give me my MD5# as it is a bad number. I looked it up on google. Thats why i am at a stand still.. Don't know how my MD5# will ever match if when i flashed it it was a bad download. Not sure if that makes any sense. Hope there is a way around it. If not I guess i could send back to verzion and get a free replacement now. Since the custom sign is now gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
How many times have you tried downloading this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
MD5 tells you the integrity of the download. Plus I thought you couldn't boot into recovery anyways? What are you trying to accomplish?

The way I see it you have two choices.

1. Stay in your current state.

2. Odin back to MDK and re-root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Can you download "root checker" from the play store to verify you lost root?

Sent from my SCH-I545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Slow down a bit.

What are you doing to verify the MD5 hash of the files you're downloading?

Saying you "looked it up on google" makes no sense.

What you do is to download a file. Then, when the download is completed, you run a MD5 calculator to calculate the hash for the file you just downloaded. That hash is like a fingerprint.

You then use the published, known correct, value of the hash for that file to tell if what you downloaded matches the fingerprint of the original file. If the download got corrupted for some reason, then the MD5 hash will not match.

If you're going to get help, you'll need to slow down and explain what you're doing and seeing.

I have a p5113 and it is running 4.2.2 it is a friends. It turns on all the way to the homescreen for about 30 seconds. Then it reboots. I have gotten into recovery and it lets me wipe data factory reset. Then when I go to reboot it shows an error below the android and there has been no data wipe when it reboots. and reboots and reboots.........It also says NO COMMAND when booting recovery below the android. OH, I also tried flashing another stock recovery. Did not fix issue with recovery.

I have gotten into download mode and tried to cf root. Doesnt work, no recovery. Still same as above just goes to stock with no command written at bottom then error when you go to reboot it. Tried both versions of CWM and TWRP Odin files. DONT WORK. Tried to flash recovery by zip and get signature verification failure.

I figured oh, I will do what I always do to tablets try and reinstall the firmware. Which is the 4.2.2 firmware I go ahead and odin it, everything looks fine, it did take way too long like an hour and half. Passes, reboots, same operating system same data didnt change a thing! Still rebooting still recovery errors. Tried to downgrade to ICS and it passed after an hour and a half of slow odining NOTHING again same story as JB didnt change anything.

I have noticed that there is an avg in apps. I never get enough time to uninstall it. It always reboots before I can get to it. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. :mad:

so you wanna say that your tab is in bootloop

if that then please revert to stock rom

also if you are not able to do this then i have to say that your tab is bricked

try triangle away or take it to customer care
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhr5474:
yep its

not a brick and I am on stock if you would have read the OP you would know that. I have had a brick before the definition of a brick is a device that does not turn on. I have flashed many tabs with stock and customs. Thanks for the great advice but I am a member of XDA and I like to do things myself or with the help of others in my community.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
i like your confidence brother but i was just helping you

also with your threads title in thought you were still having bootloop

also boot loop mainly happens when system files interfere with each other and result in instability during boot and crashes also it is not always necessary that in boot loop device would not turn on as you said earlier

i have seen boot loop on my tab even during charging animation as it was off it was due to use of flashing scripts that conflicted with each other

[HTC EVO 3D] mec75:
Hi,

I have a very strange problem now (at least for me).

First some facts about the phone: It's unlocked Virgin Mobile phone, S-off, rooted, and has a usable 4ext recovery installed.

I also did some days ago when 4ext was installed a backup before trying anything else.

After that I tried different ROMs and most of them booted fine after flashing, and I used the last 2 days a JB 4.3 ROM until I found problems with the camera and wanted to see how this is for one of the other ROMs I tried before.

But after try to flash another ROM, it was stuck with on the HTC logo (the same ROM I flashed before without any problems, and of course after wiping all internal partitions like always). Also flashing any other ROM didn't help - even restoring the backup from the original ROM didn't solved this. Only using fastboot from the computer to write the boot image changed the hanging on th HTC logo in a boot loop now - and still no usable flashing is possible.

Does anyone has any ideas what the reason for this could be and how it can be solved to have a working phone again?

Thanks!

What hboot?

Try wiping everything, then reboot recovery, wipe everything again

Then try and flash again

If all else fails try ruu through bootloader, you will still have s off
[HTC EVO 3D] mec75:
It's the same with another SD-card.
[HTC EVO 3D] mec75:
It's hboot 1.50.5050

The hboot was only changed at the beginning after getting s-off. With this hboot all the ROMs I try now were working before.

However, for the original restore maybe this version could be a problem (hboot 1.58 was on the phone before), but should be no reason for the other ROMs to fail.

Well, this works! :)

So far I wiped everything but then installed directly the ROM after it without a reboot. No I did like you proposed - wipe, reboot, wipe, flash - and it works again.

Is there a reason why it hasn't worked directly after wiping and needed a reboot between?

Just in case for the next time:

I can only find RUU for Sprint but not VM - do you have a link to a file for a VM phone?

Thanks a lot for the help!
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
Glad it worked, don't know why but there must have been an issue with recovery

Here is the pg86img I use for vm.

https://db.tt/eBcYZ7yu

Place on root of your sd and rename pg86img.zip

Reboot to bootloader and accept update

This will give you stock Rom and recovery and hboot...s off stays

So if you want to flash again, all you need to do is flash recovery...no unlocking necessary:D
