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!

Unfortunately, this did not work =(. Again, as soon s I reboot, I get stuck on the Samsung screen and have to pull out the battery. Then, in recovery my Internal storage has 0 MB aeven though the folders are empty.

Have you tried holding the power button, home key and the volume up key all at the same time to boot in recovery? If not do a battery pull and do it when turning the phone back on

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.

Now I'm downloading stock rom so I'll try it in next 2 hours.
bet you guys previously flashed a aosp rom, I could be wrong, but it sounds as if you did.

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!

My T-Mobile Galaxy s4 M919 will not boot after any custom ROM flashes. I tried 4 different ROMs with success messages. As soon as I reboot my phone after the ROM flash, it's stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and would not enter the "phone desktop". I can easily enter download mode and recovery mode without any issue.
Background: I rooted with Odin successfully. (Used both CWM and OUDHS with the same no-boot results after flashing any custom ROMs). I can restore back to stock and phone boot up fine but tried root again and then with custom ROM and it would not boot. Any help would appreciate it.
After flashing a rom, go into recovery, and erase stuff. Like cache and dalvik cache. Possibly even data

I did that after each ROM flash. 1. Wipe data/factory reset, 2. wipe cache part, 3. wipe dalvik cache. Did not fix the problem. No good. Please clarify "possibly even data". I am not sure which wipe is that.

using CWM:
*wipe data/factory reset
*wipe cache
*wipe, dalvik cache
*wipe system
*wipe sdcard (only if you have the ROMs you plan on flashing on your external sdcard, this will erase internal sd)
now flash your ROM of choice. reboot (will take 1-2min on first boot)
use cwm touch. what ROMs have you tried so far?
I am thinking you are flashing something not specific to the TMo S4, so your not getting the right kernel installed. Try installing a TMo specific kernel immediately after flashing a rom and see what happens.
Yeah, what ROMs have you tried already? Have you tried TWRP 2.5 recovery?
Sometimes it'll take up to 10 minutes to boot up (I haven't experienced this yet with the GS4, but I have with other phones). How long did you wait before determining it was just stuck?
I switched to PhilZ Touch Recovery a couple of weeks ago and have not had Any issues as I did before.
TWRP 2.5.0.2 was issue free for months, until I started flashing ROMs with Aroma.
Nothing but issues re Samsung splash screen freezes, different solutions working sometimes and sometimes not, having to ODIN back to stock on many occasions, having to wipe INTERNAL SD on many occasions, etc., etc.
PhilZ was the solution.
This is coming from a hard core TWRP guy......

Okay let's start over from scratch.
First off can you restore the stock ROM using your nandroid backup?
Second, I don't think you are properly wiping everything prior to flashing the new ROM. You need to wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache in the CWM wipe menu prior to flashing the new ROM.
Wipe all 4 things. Wiping any less than all 4 things will cause the problems you are experiencing.
Once you've done that, then flash the ROM.zip and reboot and it should work just fine.

When I was flashing ROMs w/Aroma using TWRP 2.5.0.2, I would sometimes get Samsung boot screen freezes. The only way I could resolve this was by wiping Internal SD, in addition to the other wipes mentioned, and flashing the ROM again.
find stock kernel, flash the roms you want and flash the stock kernel after and see if you boot

ODIN Samsung Stock Firmware.
Boot.
ODIN Custom Recovery.
(I use PhilZ Touch Recovery. Flashes ROMs flawlessly )
Boot.
Flash custom ROM afterwards.
If ROM doesn't have Root, then Root with CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chainfire via ODIN prior to installing Custom Recovery.
Then flash custom ROM.

I did as you stated. I love Philz Touch recovery UI. Very nice. Unfortunately, did not work as well. It stated successfully. I tried 2 rom, Infamous S4 v.2.5 and also the VirginROM v2.3.1. Both stated successful flashed but would not boot into the phone desktop. Stuck for over 10 minutes on black and white "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo.
I will send you a nice Starbucks gift card if anyone can fix this problem.

I have no idea why it ain't working for you.
On the plus side, I don't know everything
If you ODINd Stock.
ODINd Recovery.
Did a Md5 Checksum match between the ROM file and your Download.
Wiped Internal SD.
Flashed the ROM......
and you're still having issues.......
I'm at a loss....
Try again is my only suggestion, and insure the steps taken are correct, including ODINing the proper files for your device.
Check & Double check
Including making sure you have a good usb cable, which sometimes can work and sometimes not....
If you haven't, try flashing from internal sd card. Maybe remove th external sd card just in case.
I have been going back and forth between Quantum, SlimHalo and Task's and I have never had a problem. I would wipe all but SD and storage, flash away, let the apps download and that was it.
Now, regardless of ROM, I wipe everything including data, flash the ROM, GAPPS, reboot and it all works but if I reboot or if the ROM crashes, the phone will get stuck at the kernel's boot screen.
Other than the SD card I don't think there is anything else I can wipe before flashing. Even when I restore a backup that used to work, the phone won't reboot. It'll get stick on the underwear if I have tasks' ROM or the SlimRom logo for SlimHalo. Those are both ROMs that worked perfectly. In fact they seemed to work better before I formatted the data partition.
I redownloaded the ROMs, GAPPS, same thing every time. I can't get a ROM to reboot even if I wipe everything.
I use TWRP 2.6.3.0
I'm having the exact same problem. Even flashed stock rom back via Odin, but no luck. Gets stuck at "Samsung" screen indefinitely. And I mean it, I've left it going for a few hours.
Maybe you should try one of the older TWRPs from the Team Win website and see what happens.

I managed to fix the issue by flashing the stock image via Odin and factory resetting right afterwards.
I am having very similar issues trying to update to several different 4.3 ROM's. I have a thread going in the Q&A section already. I haven't had time to grab a logcat yet but am confused so far. I am also on TWRP and usually after the "freeze" I have to wipe the internal memory completely, reboot recovery and then flash my backup other wise the restore just "fails". Starting to question if TWRP is the culprit here but have no time to experiment lately.

sounds like a partition issue. Whihc if it is, just go ahead and attempt to odin to stock.
Try switching recoveries first tho. perhaps the one oyu have is borked
seems to be doing it on all recoveries, sorry to be a bother, but i looked under roms i dont see a stock rom?

Try flash this Rom which has root access built into it
Also, I recommend you use TWRP recovery (flashable zip) instead since it's UI and features are better than CWM(I think the author had discontinued the project)

Hey,
So im currently on holiday and dont get back home until the 13th aug.
I was on my phone last night until i ran out of battery and the phone inevitably died. I charge it this morning and the phone is stuck on the boot animation and has a slowly flashing blue led. I do get past the lg bootloader unlocked screen too and the android boot animation runs fine, just never completes. My phone is running bootloader unlocked, twrp recovery and the imperium rom. My model is h815 and s/n is 512 prefix. The battery was running pretty bad so it might be that. Either way it is stuck in bootloop and i am not sure how to approach it. I also have some internal storage that would need backing up if possible.
Cheers for any help
That's a common issue with Imperium ROM, check post #3341 in this thread for example. Just do a clean flash and your system is back again, but sadly you will lose the apps and settings.

Thats interesting, never thought of that. I should be able to backup any files etc from the internal storage using adb right?
Simply dont wipe internal storage, only wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. THe files on your Internal storages not gonna' deleted, just reinstall the apps you had.

Another problem is that i cant boot into twrp recovery using the buttons. It brings me to the stock recovery asking to factory reset. I guess i could just wait until im home and use adb to boot into the twrp recovery.

Yep. That's what it looks like for me too. When you select factory reset, the phone actually restarts into TWRP.
Make sure you actually do have TWRP installed otherwise it will wipe your phone.
You have a custom ROM installed so I assume competence, but there's always a chance
