I was trying to flash a new rom today and i wiped everything perfectly fine (using twrp) and then it wouldn't boot up so I went to restore from a backup and that didn't work either. Then when i wanted to go restore to a different backup , i found that my whole internal storage has been wiped! I HAVE EVERYTHING ON THERE, MY ROM, MY GAPPS. now I don't have backups or a rom to flash! I did not reboot yet but what can I do right now that I don't have an OS cause system was wiped?
Essentially, I have no ROM installed and I don't want to reboot the phone cause I don't know what will happen. PLus the fact that I can't connect to computer via recovery so I can't add files onto the phone. What Can I do now? someone please help asap! :'(
do you have a micro SD card?
if so, pop it out, put some stuff on it, then put it back in.

like it wouldn't show where I put the stuff, is there a way to refresh recovery to load those files? without restarting recovery? btw if i reboot now, what would happen to my phone?

Load your SD card. Select reboot and select recovery. It'll reboot right back into twrp.
Make sure when you go to install you select external.

yes thank you for that but TWRP says are you sure you want to reboot recovery? cause i dont have an OS so would that brick my phone? -knock on wood-
I'm not trying until I get an answer to that :\
if that doesn't work, can anyone teach me how to ADB push my rom and gapps to the phone?
can anyone HELP PLEASE!? can i not reboot recovery if I have NO OS? please help!
UPDATE: now when I swipe to reboot recovery it says I dont have root access and it asks me to install super SU. WTF? why do I not have root access when all i did was do the simple wipe steps for installing a rom? PLEASE HELP?

just to double check, you do have an i747 and you did download roms for your i747, correct? which carrier?
if you've got the right downloads, i would try flashing in recovery once more via these steps:
Select Wipe data/factory reset
Select Wipe Cache
Select Advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
Select Mounts and Storage and format /system
Go back out to the main recovery screen and choose the "install .zip from external SD card" option
Flash gapps, select "install .zip from SD Card" again and locate/install the downloaded gapps file
Wipe data again
Wipe cache
Reboot system. It will take several minutes to load so be patient
if this doesnt work, you could flash stock via odin

I have 2 ideas.
1. When you boot the phone, just press the button instead of holding it down like most people do. It will still boot properly and should cut out any chance of it booting into H-BOOT.
2. If it still goes into H-BOOT even just pressing instead of holding the button then factory reset, clear dalvik cache and install the zip all over again.
If the problem still happens then go to the original RobotoMod thread and post the problem there so the developer can see it. He'll have the best idea out of anyone.

I had the same problem...
i tried again except this time i did a custom installation and did not install gappsextra.what you do is when it asks you if you want to install google apps...select install but in the next screen uncheck all the apps(there are only 3)....that should do it.

im getting some problems after installing the rom though and was hoping i could get some help on it.
first of all it does not recognise my ext partition through terminal or recovery...
and also my mobile network doesnt work smoothly after i installed this...i have to keep rebooting it for it to work.
I also have problem
I also face a problem while installing that rom. That is not boot. My phone is reboot to recovery when it had finished the installation. How can I fix it???

I'm having a similar problem
When I first installed RobotoMod I used the recommended settings, but after the reboot the phone just stays on the white HTC screen it was, at first i thought it was just loading, so i gave it a little more time (about 7 hours) but still nothing happened, so I tried using the custom settings and through multiple attempts and combinations all on the CM9 alpha it booted up, but as soon as it was done loading it put me straight into the lockscreen and wont unlock no matter what I do, I've tried AOKP but that just gets the 1st problem, and ive seriously tried everything and I haven't found anyone with the same problem maybe its just me, i installed using CWMR 5.02.8

I was advised that i needed to update my recovery to twrp from cwm recovery to avoid an issue i got while flashing roms (the contents of my sd card would get pushed down into a subfolder of a newly created set of folders) however when i wiped my phone, as i always used to do with CWM twrp seems to have wiped a lot more, its wiped the existing rom, and all the files on my card, so i cant install a new rom. Basically i only have access to twrp recovery mode, how can i get the rom .zips onto my phone to install them? Id really appreciate any help at all, i had no issues flashing with CWM and i really dont know what to do.
download a rom/gapps and use adb to transfer them to your sdcard.. adb command "adb push file.zip /sdcard/file.zip"..
PS- in twrp wiping data wipes EVERYTHING so when you want to wipe before flashing a rom do a factory reset and DONT wipe data

This is how I flash a rom in TWRP (I always transfer my pictures to my external before these steps, you might lose them if you don't)
1) Transfer ROM and GAPPS to external SD (Micro SDcard in TWRP)
2) Nandroid Backup
3) Choose "wipe"
3b) Swipe to factory reset.
4) Choose "back"
5) Choose "advanced wipe"
5b) Check Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache.
5c) Swipe to wipe.
6) Choose Back
7 - optional -) I always format data (not required, will wipe EVERYTHING)
8) Install Rom
9) Install Gapps
10) Wipe cache/dalvik
11) Reboot.
Your bootloader might be not up to date. The newer ROM releases are giving that problem to some people. We'll cross that bridge when we have to.

Bell APN is built in the ROM.
Anytime you flash a ROM you run the risk of losing you IMEI (which is why you should have it backed up already) :good:
I can't think of anything else to tell you other than make sure all your pics and personal valuables are backed up on your computer or external SD before wiping anything. If you wipe it by accident it isn't restorable.
I don't know your level of ability or flashing history so I don't know what you don't know.
To flash the bootloader, I just put it on my phone and press install, right?

That's why the ROM fails. Your bootloader isn't up to date. Follow those two links I sent.

Hello everyone,
I would post this in the development thread but I can't since I am a ne user. Anyway..
I am currently on InFamous switching between the 2.4 TW version and the Google Edition v2.0.
My problem is every time I reboot my phone, it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 boot image. Then when I go to recovery the Internal storage shows 0 MB available, and I can't fix permissions or wipe anything without having to format data first. The only way to boot my phone again, is to format data, wipe everything, and reinstall the ROM which is very annoying and time consuming.
PLEASE HELP!!
Thanks in advance

Have you tried this:
Before doing anything, be sure to back up the internal sdcard to a folder on your computer if you have anything you
want to save on the internal sdcard. Also be sure that the Google Edition zip file rom is on your "external" sdcard.
When the phone is flashed and ready to use go into settings>accounts tab>backup and reset>"Factory data reset".
Click on the factory data reset.
After doing that reboot into cwm or twrp which ever you are using and do a full wipe as you usually do but don't
forget to include "Factory reset".
Then flash the Google Edition rom as you normally have done and it should fix the problem you are having hopefully.
Good luck!

If you already tried to Odin flash the STOCK rom and formatted your internal sdcard and you still find "0 MB"
in your internal storage then it must be a hardware issue and if I were you I would return/exchange the phone.
Good luck!
It's not a hardware issue. It's a bug in twrp. Whenever you do "format data" it corrupts the data partition. Use PhilZ Touch recovery. His recovery includes the fix. Try it.

Hello, any progress please? I have exactly the same issue.
I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265588&page=23 this solution:
I wanted to clean my internal SD card before flashing Omega ROM, so I used Format Data option from Wipe section in TWRP.
After that I lost almost two days trying to fix my phone. Flashed stock ROM, TWRP and Omega ROM endless times without success after that.
My phone became randomly unbootable on reboot or power on! It was stuck on i9505 logo that is shown before boot animation forever. It was same for both stock and Omega ROM, with or without external micro SD.
After endless tries, I figured out that my phone works fine if I do factory reset and wipe from original recovery. Worked fine before and after flashing TWRP.
I tired to Format Data from TWRP again and my phone again was stuck on boot.
So I did everything once more. Flashed stock, did factory reset and wipe from original recovery and then installed TWRP and in the end I flashed Omega without wiping anything.
Everything works just fine now and I will not try to use Format data option from TWRP on this device in near time! Please fix this.
First I used TWRP 2.5.0.1 and then 2.5.0.2, but it is same in both of them.

It says so in the OP... going between TW and Google Edition 2.0.. Out of curiosity though, what difference would that make? I have flashed and have backups of two versions of TW and quite a few AOSP variants... I can move between them seamlessly and haven't encountered any such problems as the OP. I use TWRP as well.
It was TWRP problem. I have flashed the stock ROM with stock recovery. I have done full wipe and my phone works well again. This is bug in TWRP. Don't push "format data" button!
Hey I have a problem here.I have a dev edition Note 4. I have been running EMSpoilt's first ROM ([Rom][N910VOYU1ANI1][4.4.4] Stock Root Deodex/Knox-Free Updated 11/24/2014) for about 2 weeks now. It was running great smooth as butter until now. I tried flashing his new [Rom][N910VVRU1ANJ5][4.4.4] Stock Root Odex/Knox-Free) but my phone wouldn't boot up, it wouldn't get past the first Samsung screen just keeps restarting. I made sure to follow step by step instructions. Wiped everything but my SD card. Tried it 2 more times and nothing. Tried to wipe cache and all that. Nothing helped. So I decided to restore back to my backed up ROM. Once restored it started to act weird. My finger print scanner doesn't work and I can't download anything another than apps from app store...the phone is very glitchy and almost unusable.. almost like it has a virus. It did get pretty hot when I was flashing the ROM I hope I didn't fry anything. I tried and tried to reset things but no luck. I don't have a backup of stock Dev ROM unfortunately...is there a way to reset back to stock(out of the box state)? I still have root and TWRP recovery works fine.
Anyone help please?

If you want to get the NJ5 ROM up and running without issues I would suggest flashing the NJ5 stock restore tar file in Odin, then flash TWRP recovery in Odin. Once that is done boot into TWRP and flash SU, then flash the ROM. I was having the same issue yesterday and this fixed things for me.
+1 on what airmaxx23 has recommended. Caution: Make damn sure you ODIN the stock restore file intended for the DE, not the retail. If you just want to get back to a fully functional DE without the ROM then ODIN the stock restore file, ODIN TWRP and flash SUPERSU in recovery. You don't have to flash the ROM.

I linked all the files you need for the DE in my original response.

Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937. Make sure you go to post #2 and select the stock restore file for the DE.
I am having problems with mine, too
After getting into trouble yesterday with a phone that stuck in Verizon logo screen, I was able to restore from backup.
Then I started noticing weird things that I believe were working a day ago.
I cannot download any email attachments, cannot create folders on sdcard, cannot install xposed or even install Fora offline dictionary files I downloaded from PlayStore. I never flashed custom ROMs on my DE, just flashed TWRP and then rooted it. I am still running original SW N910VOYU1ANI1. Screenshots and photos are saved just fine (burst shots on sdcard and regular photos on extsdcard).
Any Ideas? I've tried to restore from pre-root backup, then restored my image that has root and some applications but cannot move from there.

Here is what I would do if I were you:
1. Go into TWRP Recovery and do a complete wipe (system, data, cache, delvik). Do not select recovery.
2. While in TWRP do a factory reset
3. In TWRP, RESTORE the backup you mentioned.
4. While in TWRP clear cache and delvik again
5. Power off the phone and remove the battery
6. Replace the battery and boot
7. If the phone boots normally then power off the phone, boot into recovery and flash SuperSU (Do not try to restore any "image", just flash SuperSU.zip)
8. Reboot the phone

Although I did it already almost the same way multiple times since yesterday, I'll try it again.
How do I do #2 in your list from TWRP?
Thanks.

Go to "Wipe" then "Format Data" then type "yes" and hit "go". This will completely remove all data. Under "Advanced Wipe" check "dalvik", "system", "data", and "cache" and wipe those as well.
If that doesn't work you're going to have to start fresh.

When you're in TWRP and select Wipe, there will appear a "swipe bar" that when swiped will perform a Factory Reset. It is the first screen you see when you select Wipe on the home screen. Do the Factory Reset and then clear cache, delvik, system and data. You can do the Factory Reset before clearing cache etc or after clearing cache etc. It really doesn't make a difference in what order you do the Factory Reset, just do it.
If this process doesn't get you back to normal then another option is to flash the stock restore file for NJ5 availble in the Android Development Section. But, lets do the process I've outlined first.

I did everything up to the #7, then powered the phone. I am getting all bunch of errors like "com.sec.phone has stopped" and other I don't remember. It shouldn't be this way, right?
Then I powered the phone off and on again, this time I got the setup wizard without error messages and flashed SU and then installed Xposed. So far, so good. Will install couple apps to see how it goes.
Thanks, jpcalhoun!

Glad you got it working. I'd have to see the error messages to try, I emphasize try, to determine what might be causing them. Often after flashing or using ODIN to install software you'll get an error message until the system has been rebooted. You should probably power off you phone, again, pull the battery, replace the battery and reboot to see if you continue to get error messages. You shouldn't be getting error messages during boot unless you have installed something that has turned a service off or has altered a service that the system is asking for (that's not technically well stated, but I think you get the point). Exposed Framework is great and enables users to customize many things in Android. But, not all the modules work the same on every device, and in fact some modules will not work at all on the Note 4. If you're trying to run a module that does not work as advertised then you should uninstall that module or not select that particular customization. A misbehaving module can cause problems that manifest themselves in funny ways.

Yes, extract it with 7zip.
