Hey guys, I need help.
I consider myself fairly adept at handling rooted devices, but I have not been following development for the GS4 for the last several months and have been running the last release of Synergy before their hiatus.
I was going to try out something different. I always enjoyed Beanstown's Jelly 'Beans', and thought I would try Build 7.
Now I am stuck at the Samsug Galaxy Boot Logo and it never goes to the Custom Boot Screen.
WORSE...I managed to break my recovery...so it will not boot their either.
Only mode I can boot to is Download.
Maybe I am just blind but I searched and could not find any Odin flashable recoveries...does anyone have one? Is there a rooted MDK file out there that I can flash via Odin?
Someone please help
Did you do the proper wipes when flashing the new rom? There arent any odin flashable recoveries for the s4. I would probably use the no wipe mdk image to recover (wont lose any user data) since you have no custom recovery to flash something with. Youll have to start over but youll have a working phone at least.

Yes...I always wipe well when I am flashing. Almost every problem I have ever had going back to the Droid 1 was from a Dirty Wipe. I also tried searching for issues and warnings before moving forward...but did not find anything with my searches.
So just to be sure I have this right...start with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259&highlight=mdk
Then re-root as I did originally
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798
Then I can reflash CWM Recovery from Rom Manager? Will it automatically flash loki'd version?
Finally once there...can I just flash Beantown's Jelly Beans Build 7 or do I need to update the radios first? Can I use the just the MJ7 modem from the post below or do I need other parts updated too?

Yeah looks like you got everything in order. Rom manager or rom toolbox will auto loki the recoveries. No need to update radios when flashing beans either. Itll already have the radios included unless your wanting to flash the mj7 radio seperately then I believe youll be ok doing that. I havent done alot of reading on the newest radios.

Thanks for getting back to me! :good:
I am up and running...but with but not with 'Beans' Build 7 ... I have tried everything...and no matter what it stalls at the SGS4 Splash Screen and never progresses.
I thought maybe it was the new recovery I flashed ( CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.4.4) .... BUT I got Hyperdrive to install and boot. So maybe my SGS4 just doesn't like Beans...which sucks cause I ran that almost exclusively on my SGS3.

I would reboot to recovery after flashing to make you got it on the right version.
Then make sure you can still boot back to your rom.
Then go back to recovery
Wipe
Factory reset.
Advanced
Check system, Data, davlik and cache
Wipe
Go back to main screen
Install
Fund your rom to flash.

Me too. I tried the [ROM][TW4.3]STOCK-ROOTED-MJ7-AROMA-LOKI'd ROM with CWMR. Wiped Dalvik. Cache, Ractory Rest/Data. Seemed to install fine but then hung at "Custom". Fortunately I was able to a Nandroid Restore but not sure where this went wrong. Finally got TWRP to install after several failed GooManager attempts over the past month. May CWMR is the problem.

Problem Solved. Found the correct version of recovery and bootloader. 4.2.2 roms will now install. Thank you to those who were willing to help. Now that I have educated myself on this tablet, I will begin developing for it.

Good morning everyone
Just yesterday, I chose to update my tablet to one of the xda posted JB roms. I'm coming from an ics build 38 AOKP that I've been on for several months.
After I'd confirmed a successful download, I performed all the necessary cleaning procedures pre-flash, flashed the rom, and was stuck at the splash screen.
So I went back to the ics build and attempted the same with a cm-10.1 build with the same effect. Upon asking the first developer for advice flashing his rom, I was advised to update my recovery which was an older 5.x version of CWM to which another member directed me to the latest version.
Prior to this, I had attempted to use rommanager to update the recovery. During that process something happened in which the device rebooted and froze at the splash screen. I attempted a reboot into recovery via power+volume down and when selecting recovery, I only got a black screen.
So I took the Odin route and dropped the latest cwm tar.md5 through pda in download mode which allowed me to freely re-enter the rom and reboot without issues. However I still only have a black screen when attempting to get into recovery.
Any advice on how I would be able to restore my custom recovery without returning everything to factory images and starting over?
Thank you to those willing to spend the time and effort to help me solve this problem.

You need to flash a new recovery. Grab a copy and install it using ODIN and you should be all set.

Thanks for your response. Are you suggesting that I flash an older version of ClockworkMod recovery? I already flashed the latest version through Odin which gives me the same black screen.

I misread what you said. Apparently you've got your rom installed but recovery isn't working, correct?
I had no problems on my 7510 using CWM v5.5.0.4 and with CWM Touch 5.8.3.1 - either of those should work if you flash them with ODIN or Mobile ODIN.

Ok cool I'll give 5.8.3.1 a try if I can find it. So, in my reading I was under the assumption that cwm recovery needed to be above 6.x.x for use with 4.2.2 jb roms. Are you currently or have been on a 4.2.2 rom with your tablet using the recoveries that work for you?

No, I've never tried any JB roms, so I didn't need the latest CWM. If nothing else, trying a different known-working CWM will at least prove that you're able to flash recovery and have it working.. then you can go find a 6.x recovery for the Tab 10.1.
Progress Report
So I managed to shell instal a version of TWRP and the recovery works perfectly! However, I am unable to use any roms except aokp ics (milestone6) lol
Could this be a recovery issue? Still somewhat unfamiliar with the Tab 10.1, I assumed there was an hboot that I could access to flash a recovery image but all reboot attempts into hboot (4.0.4) ended in a simple reboot.
Back to recoveries however, I attempted to flash different versions of CWM tars through Odin3 v1.85 and they all ended in solid black screens. Somewhat at a loss as only the Milestone 6 aokp build is accepted to my tablet and no other ics or jb builds. Somewhat off topic, is there no requirement to RUU upgrade the firmware to something later in order for the table to accept newer recoveries and hboots?

Welcome man! This device has a fantastic community and another developer willing to put work into it really does help to breathe new life into an aging device. Enjoy your time here
So I was pretty determined to get Cm 10.1 running on my Galaxy Note 2 for Verizon. Before hand, I was using TWRP to do all my ROM flashings but when I tried to use CM 10.1, I was told I must use CWM for it to work properly.
Here's my issue, I tried using CWM but it kept on giving me an error and after searching for awhile, it said its because I'm trying to use TWRP instead of CWM. So I flashed CWM and it gave me the same error. Tried both Touch and regular, downgraded and upgraded to the latest CWM but still same error. So I said **** it and installed the lastest TWRP. Then all the ROMs that were giving me issues started to install flawlessly. Then I went to CWM and it gave me the same error.
Am I doing something wrong when I flash CWM? I tried both Odin and APP Update way and both with same results. After using TWRP for awhile, I actually am starting to like the CWM Touch a lot better and I want to switch but not if its going to be giving me problems every flash.
Any insight would be helpful,
and as always to everyone on this forum, thanks
Just make sure you are using the latest version of TWRP 2.5 and you will be fine. You also may need to re-download your ROM file.
Well I am, in a way, stuck using the TWRP right now but I would like to know if I can actually change it to CWM. And if so, how would I go about doing that? because flashing the CWM alone isn't doing anything for me.

That is the way I have always gone about getting CWM on my phone back when I wanted it. I would just flash over TWRP in TWRP and then reboot system and then reboot back into recovery and it would always be CWM. If it doesnt work for you that way then see if they have a Odin tar and if so follow the instructions to flash it in Odin. They may not have an Odin flashable though, its been a long time since I have used it and on a different phone so....

Let me actually rephrase this. (My bad for any confusion)
So if I try to flash a rom using TWRP, it goes through without any issues, even the CM rom. But when I flash CWM and try flashing, it gives me the getdevice-"(t0vzwte)"-not exact".. When researching, I was kept on told its because it is running TWRP. I tell them its CWM and they told me to update my CWM. I actually like CWM a bit better, idk why. but I was just trying to get my phone 100% the way I want it.
Got a s4 today, followed the root guide here, using mdk pre release kernel. Did not unlock the boot loader. Loaded hyperdrive and after loading everything did the reboot. left me at the black samsung screen with an unlocked padlock and custom underneath. i can get into recovery and download. but no matter what i do will not progress screens (even tried full cache, dalvic, system, and data wipe and reloaded Hyperdrive. same results)
Should i re flash back to stock and try the entire process over again? if so, links please
also, what did i do to soft brick my phone? for future avoidance
and whats the difference between mdk and me7?
You probably got a bad download of the rom. Its a good idea to verify the md5 after its been downloaded. Once you can get a good download of the rom you dont need to odin back you can flash the rom in recovery and youll be good to go. The me7 ota is the newest firmware, has a few nice changes but it also has a non exploitable boot loader so you cant run a custom recovery on it.

To clarify, your suggesting re downloading rls8, and try flashing that. Then, if that doesn't work, re flash the stock kernel (basically go through the Odin root guide again?)
Thanks!
Redownload rls8 verify the md5 checksum to make sure its not another bad download and then flash. As long as you can get into custom recovery of your choice and the download is good theres no reaaon it shouldnt work.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
correct md5sum, same results.
both odin'd kernels have no effect, same boot problem. anyone know a fix?
Hopefully someone will. Same problem. Putting my phone back to stock rooted MDK works. The minute I try to flash Hyperdrive 8 and 8.1, it boots fine, then hangs on a restart.
Atleast, Will verizon exchange the phone seeing this?
Your mistake, why should Verizon replace something you caused.
Did you make a nandroid of the stock Rom prior to flashing?

and yet no one has yet been able to pinpoint what mistake i made in installing a rom i've used for 12 months (s3) and installing a new version on a new phone while following every instruction to the letter, suddenly ****s on me. so please, enlighten me, what mistake did i make?
You didn't make a mistake. Chances are, you just used the wrong recovery. I spent 7 hours last night trying to fix my phone. I factory reset this morning to the stock MDK and re-rooted and figured out how to use ADB to install the Clockwork Mod Recovery. It's difficult to get started and figure out how to install and use it, but there are resources out there that will help you figure it out. I reinstalled the new 8.1 Hyperdrive with CWM recovery and was delighted when the ROM actually rebooted without fuss. It did hang on the Custom unlock screen long enough to make me nervous though. Figure out ADB and add CWM. It will work.
Edit for your steps: Reinstall the stock MDK with Odin. Reroot as per the instructions in the MDK root thread. Instead of TWRP, use CWM Recovery (which isn't nearly as easy), then reinstall the latest Hyperdrive (or whatever you were trying to install).
***first of All I'm only making a new thread because I haven't found my specific issue anywhere else (even though its a common issue)***
SO...I need some help with my S4 ASAP!! I recently flashed a new rom (Hyperdrive 16.1 the link is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724), Wiped Data/Factory Reset, Wiped cache and dalvik cache. I also did the format data where you had to type in "yes." I did it all in TWRP. Then after using my phone for a few hours I decided to reboot it. Now its stuck in the Samsung "Custom" screen with the lock (unlocked icon).
I cannot seem to be able to go into recovery mode as well. I'm not sure what build version my phone uses, and since I can't boot the phone i don't know what to do. What do you recommend I do? I was also using android 4.4.2....
Should I Odin back to factory and then re root?
This video seems to be very useful, and I want to follow it but what should i do if I don't know the build?

Were you using SafeStrap or TWRP... that may help with what build you were on since your not sure and if you were MDK you don't want to Odin a different firmware and lock your phone up.
If you don't know.. What other ROMs have you flashed successfully before? Have you flashed custom kernels before?
Or did you have to flash kernel modules when flashing TW ROMs...
HD 16.1 needs to be on either MDK or a SafeStrap with 4.4.2 base so most likely you were on 4.3 base is my guess until you provide more info.

Hi all,
I previously had my GS4 rooted on JellyBean, running the stock ROM and ClockworkMod. I upgraded my phone with the Verizon update to 4.4.2 when the update came out. I am now on the NC5 build. I am now trying to root my phone again, to run a different ROM. I still have Rom Manager and SuperSU on my phone from the last root.
I tried using Towelroot yesterday. It said the root was successful. I was able to go into Rom Manager and update CWM, which also said it flashed successfully. SuperSU is working. However, when I try to boot into CWM, it boots into the stock (I think) recovery. I'm trying to run a nandroid backup before I do anything drastic.
Do I have to wipe my device, and start fresh? It seems that CWM is installed, but the stock recovery is overriding it. Sorry if this is a noob-ish question. I've been out of the Root game since my Incredible.

I believe when you accept the Verizon OTA update it locks down custom recoveries like CWM/TWRP and the only option is SafeStrap.

Yea if your on a Verizon s4 running any build after MDK... which you are... SafeStrap is your only option.
Hard to say what that will do to your phone after trying to install CWM.... usually it just soft bricks it and you need to Odin back to stock...

May be a good idea just in case. I've seen some on here do the same as you with ROM manager and once they rebooted they were brought to the unauthorized software detected screen.... And without a recovery and a backup already made you'd be out of luck.

It would probably be smart to remove CWM with Odin before attempting SafeStrap, correct? Is there a specific thread for removing CWM from a Verizon S4? I searched around but couldn't find anything specific to the S4.
Edit: I found a guide on NasirTech. Looks like that will work.

Well it didn't actually install it since your kernel doesn't allow for it now but what I would do is just use Odin and start over. Can use a No Wipe file and keep all your stuff.
You could try the method you found... I'm just not familiar with it.
Hard to say really how it will act. Maybe you'll have no issues at all just be able to install SafeStrap. Maybe you'll be able to install it but then it won't boot properly into it... who knows. Both have happened to me with my recovery ( CWM ),.. and using Odin was the only thing that helped.
Good luck .. I'm sure you'll get it going
