i was running two roms with dual boot. first was a supernexus jb rom and other mystic glory. i had some hicups with supernexus so i flashed a dream kernel over it. for the first time it booted upto dream logo (even asked for loading 2nd rom) and then went black; phone turned off. second time happened the same thing. then i tried to go to cwm recovery mode, but no luck. so booted with mystic glory rom and from the restart menu tried to go to cwm recovery. the phone turned off and now the phone wont boot beyond samsung galaxy s2 logo.
i searched through this forum and couldnt find any solution.
any help would be greatly appreciated. pls provide any links to any threads if you want me to download something.

Dual booting has always been unstable and the only way out is to start from scratch. I would not advice dual booting unless you are able to spend time redoing it.

Did u use the rom manager app?
Go to the development section and check out the stickies for going back to stock. That should be your first step.

The only think that can hardbrick was that bootloader you flashed... Don't do that when it's completely unnecessary.

If I try to get into my TWRP it get the software message. I cannot start the phone, if I try to I get the boot logo then it shuts off. Really think im screwed here
Let's clarify. You tried to install cwm, it failed and now your phone says unauthorized software take to Verizon? Your post honestly doesn't make sense. Oh and now Odin won't see your phone?
If this is correct then your phone is far from screwed up. Very common it's what happens when you don't unlock the bootloader. So let's get your phone seen by Odin. Are you in download mode? What os is your computer? Have you trired different usb ports? Are drivers installed?

Seeing as when I tried to switch to CWM I was already on Aroma I am confused as to how my bootloader got locked. I have been installing, uninstalling all over the place. in fact im still doing it. to answer your questions: yes,7 and 8,yes,covered.
And believe me I know that article inside and out. If I could get my odin to work Id be in fields of gold. Conveniently I have a new computer arriving today that I will try to get it to work with. It seems that my computer cant figure out how to communicate with it.
It calls it a "Gadget Serial" downloading PC studio didnt seem to help

You can't be on aroma. Aroma is a method used by ROM devs to allow the user to select options during install of their ROM. There are two recoveries, CWM and TWRP.
So you are seeing unauthorized software? Then your bootloader is locked, if it was unlocked then we'll figure that out later.
You should see gadget serial. Is it installing the drivers for that? How did you install drivers, Windows update our manually?

Okay, thanks for clarifying. That is a little strange then. I mean did you let Windows download the drivers for you, which you answered. You can try to put phone in download mode and keep plugging and unplugging it (give it time to recognize it first). There was a guy that said it eventually just recognized hos phone after 16 times. You did restart your computer correct?

Someone woke up on the butthurt side of bed this morning
You're most likely not bricked if it will turn on at ALL! Here's what you need to do:
1. Make sure your computer is setup with the proper drivers/ODIN.
2. Go here and download the stock ODIN image
3. Get a different USB cord you know works or try the most rearest USB port and put your phone in ODIN mode as stated above.
4. If ODIN doesn't recognize your phone, restart the computer with it plugged in and unplug it and replug it...
5. Flash ODIn in the PDA, not the Phone section (Follow the directions given by Imnuts).
That should fix you up, if it doesn't, chances are you missed a step. Good luck:victory:

You didn't win, since you don't know what you did wrong. You should read a lot more before you mess up this phone. Give it time and you probably will be in the same place again. Read, read read read read and did I mention read???? Better luck though with your new device

Well did ALL that before. Surprise none of it worked. I'm not going to repeat the same process over and over. I'm pretty sure I know why I couldn't get it to work, and I know what went wrong even though I'm not sure how managed it. And getting a new scratch free phone for no cost sounds pretty good.

I just got this in the mail today. Does anyone have any insights on how to unlock the bootloader and inject root? I had assumed 'fastboot' would work, but this has ODIN. I'm sure I could follow the steps on the original S4, but I don't know what the downstream effects will be.
Thanks!

Ok, just got done rooting my gs4 vzw dev edition. It was really pretty simple.
Steps from my win8 laptop were...
Install samsung drivers,
get adb working (android sdk doesn't seem to work on win8.. but just the adb files are all you need, google adb platform-tools or just use win7)
dl and push your superuser zip to the sdcard or external sdcard
dl odin 3.07 and extract to pc
dl and make tar.md5 of your favorite recovery. ( i personally like cwm )
Then all I did was... reboot phone in to odin mode... while phone is powered off, hold vol down + power
Start odin.exe
uncheck auto-reboot
click pda button, select the recovery file.md5
press start and let it finish, only takes a few secs...
once done.. reboot in to recovery, and flash the superuser.zip u pushed over to it.
Vol up + power to boot in to recovery. for me i just booted the phone normally... used "adb reboot recovery" then flashed superuser.zip.
reboot your phone and done.
good idea to make a backup while ur in recovery
If someone has hosting, i can send the files needed.

Okay, so I couldn't wait!
I followed the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 and was able to gain root access.
I have yet to take the plunge on a custom recovery, but I'm sure I'll do that soon.
Additionally, the boot screen now has a picture of an "unlocked" lock, and the words "Samsung" "Custom". I guess they know that this has been flashed.
How did you order this prior to it being available on the Samsung Web site?

The boot message you see when you power on your device means your device is rooted. I have the same exact thing when I rooted mine. I got mine from a Verizon store.

So this is situation
I had rooted device and hyperdrive rom. I went back to stock using Odin. Then I rooted again using saferoot method. I flashed custom recovery. I didn't even check if it has been installed correctly. Then I used boot unlocker app to unlock bootloader. App name is EZ-Unlock something. It asked me to reboot, I did and I can't turn on my screen. I used all type of combination. I tired keeping battery out for few hours and nothing is happening. I can't turn on screen at all. Nothing means nothing. Any idea please? I don't want to waste money with out getting help from here. Thanks in advance.

There is no "boot loader unlock" for the i545, just Loki for the MDK bootloader.
What bootloader did you start with? What build?
It sounds to me like whatever you used hosed your phone, which is pretty unusual. Normally you can at least get into bootloader mode.]
If you press the power button and plug in to your PC, what kind of device appears?

Ok, first off you cannot unlock the bootloader on this phone. MDK build is the only build that has a bootloader workaround, but it is still not unlocked.
What you will need to do is to find out what build you are on, download that .tar file, boot into download mode, and flash it through Odin.

Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209 and use the no-wipe version (unless if you don't care about your data). Then, Unlock your bootloader and try to re-install CMW. If you need help this video is very helpful:
Hope this helps,
Nolan
@nolethemole before you have him do all that why don't you get all the relevant information considering there's a 99% chance he's not mdk?

The easiest way to get your phone back to normal is to put it into download mode. You should have Verizon software upgrade assistant on your computer, if you don't, just connect your phone on your computer and wait for it to be installed, Eventually you will see something that say Verizon software upgrade assistant. If you do just disregard this part. Go on repair mode and click repair. Let it do its magic and your phones back to normal. It will wipe all your data though. But its better than having a soft brick phone.:good::good:
Download the stock NC5.tar and Odin back to stock.

Though years later, I want to thank this poster for the answer that solved my VZW not authorized block [when I accidentally loaded a bad kernel] message and allowed me to get my old favorite phone, with many custom ROMs active again so I could get the great S4 active again to try to convince my un-tech spouse to try something besides a a LG 8600 flip, great phone that it is.
Thank you! After many other solutions, the solution.
So, I have to move back into my S4, due to my current phone dying. I went and downloaded and flashed the latest TWRP in-app, rebooted to recovery, and got the same message as the OP. I'm on MDF, rooted, running hyperdrive, so that isn't the problem. Any ideas?

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Official TWRP thread for your device.

Did you Loki the recovery? I had to move some files that Loki needed to one of the system root directories before I could install clockwork mod recovery.
