Okay, so I had my galaxy s4 running wicked v1. Running twrp recovery.
I made a huge mistake by not backing up before I updated to v2. I do a full wipe and flash the rom as standard procedure goes. I get locked at the Samsung galaxy s4 screen forever... I try to restore a backup of the stock firmware and it fails.
I decide okay, I'll just Odin back to stock. Fine right? Wrong... my computer crashes in the middle of downloading the .tar. my hard drive is fried. My s4 is soft bricked. I have no computer to Odin back to stock. Any ideas?

Can you get into recovery mode at all or just odin? If you can only get into odin then you will have to find another computer...friends or family and odin that way...I dont know of any other way for you to odin to stock... Sorry. If you could get into recovery mode then we could do something but you say your soft bricked which usually means you can only get into download mode...if you get lucky and are able to get into recovery mode let me know.

Yes I can get into recovery mode just fine, I have also downloaded a couple different roms onto my sd card and am trying to flash them via recovery but I'm getting no dice. Either that or I'm extremely unlucky and can't get a proper download
I get stuck at this screen indefinitely

after installing a rom via recovery, have you tried doing a full wipe then rebooting?

yes, I have done a full factory reset. Fix permission fails. I have tried flashing stock Rom, it says success every time and success after every wipe. I just keep getting locked up at that screen. No matter what.

I had the same issue after installing stock via odin but a complete wipe after installation fixed it. Sucks that your PC is dead or it would of been fixed already. GL to you.

Ok so from what i've read on other threads i just need to get the stock rom and flash it with that. Anyone know how i can get the stock rom for my SGH-T989? I tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858435 but don't know if these are actually the roms i can use. Also i have samsung keys but need the code for the firmware first.
Anyone help me out?
What recovery are you using? Are you doing a full wipe of system/cache/data before installing?
See the screens below. Its easy to get this running on your t989. Use the most recent twrp, wipe down the phone and things will work. I don't use any scripts either, just the recovery wiping options.

Did you use Darkside Super Wipe on a 6.x.x CWM recovery? Because that will get you into a bootloop as the Darkside wipes are meant for 5.x.x recoveries. You will have to reflash and wipe cache/data instead of superwipe if that's the case.

That's actually good to know. I used to use those back in the gingerbread ROM days on this device, but hadn't recently. I'll steer clear.

Ok so I found myself stuck in the bootloop you described. I am using CWM 6.0.2.7 and had recently flashed, Cyanogenmod 10 and then most recently AOKP 4.2.2 on my T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 (hercules) T-989. I was having serious battery drain issues with the AOKP and tried to reflash cyanogenmod 10 but also flashed gapps 4,2,2. This was done on accident and Cyanogenmod 10 ran very buggy for like 15 minutes. I cleared all settings and cache using the various options in CWM. I then did use Darkside Super Wipe which was on my sd card. After running Darkside I am stuck in the Cyanogenmod 10 bootlogo. I can access CWM but cannot seem to get it to flash anything appropriately. Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You need to find a tar file of your recovery to flash in Odin.
OK sorry for the long delay I apologize. I did reflash the OEM TMobile rom which actually was an upgrade to 4.1.2. Battery life is still horrible after reflashing. I would to go back to Cyanogen Mod 10 but anything from Cyanogen Mod gets stuck at the boot logo. I need help completely eliminating any trace of ROM installs so that I can reinstall Cyanogenm Mod 10 and use that ROM without any problems or battery drain. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. I had OK battery use with Cyanogen Mod 10 but drain has gotten worse even with OEM ROM. Are there remnants of other rom installs that may be interfering with functionality?

^^this!
I was in a similar situation as you are... I used Darkside Superwipe on CWM 6 and then I was no longer able to flash any more zip files. I described my experience in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427906
I still don't know what exactly is going on with my phone (which is why I posted the thread - I'm not sure what will happen if/when I upgrade to CWM 6 again), but I was able to get CM 10.1 running by flashing CWM 5.0.2.7 from Odin and then flashing Darkside Superwipe + CM 10.1.
Okay, so i don't think this is a hardware issue (it could be), because the phone is brand new. I flashed the omega rom to my hone and what i think happened, is somehow when i was recovering my data with titanium backup, the drivers that read the sim card and allow the s pen to work got corrupted. Now, i tried to flash the stock att rom to my phone, but every time i do that, a CWM based recovery by X____ (dont know the name) runs and re roots my phone, cancelling the flash.
In titanium backup did you restore system+user apps or just user? And try to use ODIN to get back to stock. The stock images can all be found in the note II toolkit thread
im not sure what i did, but all the data from titanium backup is gone. what im really trying to do is restore my phone to what it was when i first got it.
also, i have a backup of my phone before i flashed the omega rom on TWRP recovery, but i cant figure out how to boot my phone into TWRP recovery.
To get into recovery just hold power home and volume up. But if you just want to get back to stock odin is your best bet
I know how to get into recovery, but i have CWM and TWRP, and i want to get to TWRP, but my phone automatically goes to CWM
You cant have TWRP and CWM... you only have one recovery partition
hmm, well the TWRP backup files are still on my phone, which i need..
I think CWM can restore TWRP backups but i may be wrong. Otherwise you can put the CWM flash able TWRP install file on your card and do it that way
could you maybe explain how to do that?
Download the zip here http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0lteatt then flash it from CWM
i put the img on my phone..how do i flash it from CWM?
nevermind, did it with goomanager
so even when i install twrp recovery, it still boots to CWM..hmm any ideas?
That means that TWRP didnt install. Just use odin seriously its pretty simple
Dude ive tried multiple times, every time i flash the stock rom, the cwm based recovery comes up and says something like "cancelling flash" and it reroots my phone and nothing ends up happens
Can you get a picture of it?
got one

K how did you root initially? Because it looks like it is encountering an error and falling back to the root exploit. Anyone else feel like chiming in about this?
i followed all steps on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6BweCW5ck8 including initiallly installing TWRP recovery. I also installed the omega rom, which was when i starten experiencing issues. I made a backup prior to the flashing of the omega rom, but that was on TWRP, and as you already know i cant seem to install twrp.
Omega... isnt that a N1700 rom? cant seem to find it on the i317 forms. That may be your issue
I new replacement phone which I rooted and am running stock gb27. Try to flash custom rom and every time it just goes to Galaxy splash screen then returns to recovery. I'm stumped. Not new and I follow instructions to a t. Nandroid back to stock rooted and try again. Sometimes I use one click to return to stock, then one click the recovery so I can nandroid. I also have the yellow triangle. Maybe I rooted the wrong way. I use agats recovery. And mobile Odin pro to flash el26 or 29. Stumped!

I have never seen that on my phone, it either bootloops or loads. Did you try to wipe C & DC when it boots to recovery?
Yes, tried everything. El29, x2 format, flash rom, reboot. Goes to Samsung screen, then flashes screen, Samsung screen flashes briefly, then goes to recovery. Tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. Just does the same thing.

That means a kernel its not getting flashed, the EL29DB kernel is a recovery only kernel so if you boot out of it goes straight back into recovery. Try redownloading the ROM.

Probably just a bad download. It happens. Check md5. Same thing happened to me last week, and i was at work, so i was phone less until I was able to get home and redownload.

I have a similar problem I have gb27 stock but rooted . I have not been able to find a way to install clockworkmod so that I can do a nandroid backup or restore anything . Is it just not possible to install clockworkmod to this device running stock rooted jellybean 4.1.2 ? I don't want to install any custom roms . I just want to be able to back up the phone and restore if needed . I'm stumped too .
Did it. First made sure rom was on phone sd. Redownloaded x2 format. Used mobile odin pro to get el26, x2 in recovery,zipped rom, zipped agat gb27 kernel, gb27 modem just to be sure.and worked.

If you go to rwilco website you can download agats trec kernel there and use mobile odin or the one click from pc. It's not cwm but will give you recovery to nandroid. I don't think there is cwm for jelly bean.
Okay, so here's the story.
I was using clockworkmod to flash a new ROM on my E4GT; I accidentally flashed a file which I thought was a 'safe' recovery so I could go back to ICS from JB. Well it was not a safe recovery as I thought. Before doing this, I did a format all as usual, so I now have no ROM on the phone. When the phone rebooted, it came up to the Android System Recovery <3e> menu. Normally this wouldn't be a problem for me since I could just put it in download mode and fix this via Odin, however, my USB port on the phone does not work. I charge the phone using an external battery charger.
Is there anything I can flash on the stock recovery via the external SD that will rectify my issue, without USB?
I will continue to Google this problem, but I would appreciate any additional help.+
So far, it's looking like my only option is to JTAG this huh? Hoping there is something out there I can flash from stock recovery, I mean it's not like I tried to flash an international ROM or anything....hmm

No, GB27, and like I said it worked once. It really depends on what recovery you flashed. You need to flash the matching ROM.

I get exactly what you're saying now. For some reason I flashed GB08_STOCK_NOCWM.zip or something along those lines. Now I am searching for a GB08 zip file and I think I should be good. Everything I can find is in exe format though...
It all makes sense now though. I'm used to HTC phones where I can just use whatever recovery to flash a ROM and not have to worry about different modems/kernels etc. I am crossing my fingers that this works. You've been a tremendous help today.

Just a quick question. I flashed a stock build then went to 5.0 with zero issues. I'm under the assumption this wiped your device as stated in the directions but for some reason I'm missing a ton of storage. Should have any 24gb of free space after a clean flash. I don't have Google+ photos synced or anything.
Anyone else see that?

Were you using factory images? Just curious. Stock recovery? Wipe data/factory reset. TWRP? Format data. Or... fastboot format userdata. That's the options that I remember hearing of but I've not had the problem myself. Any of those options will of course wipe your storage.

I actually used wugfresh toolkit bc I had a problem with adb for some reason.
I got some help from the nexus 7 community on google+ and it was as simple as just doing a factory reset. Lol. Showed up 26.9gb free after that.
Sometimes it is just the easiest stuff right under your nose ?

Do we have root and twrp on the nexus 7 yet?
Yes. Go to the Android Development thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2856920 ], post 441. You need a modified boot image for root. You can fastboot flash twrp and fastboot flash the kernel. Or, there is a zip of the kernel. Or, you could use Wug's newly updated toolkit.
