What model do you have? Carrier? What option did you first choose for a kernel?
You're like the 50th user in here this week with this issue on hyperdrive. It would appear the device type in the build.prop is being is being edited and there is a conflict during the boot process causing this soft brick. Anyone with more knowledge than this please chime in.
If you can still get back into recovery, your options are probably to restore a backup or flash another rom. In download mode you could flash stock stock rooted via odin. If your s3 is not recognized on your pc, there is a flashable stock firmware zip in the link in my signature. In post #2 at the bottom

i'm trying to do is installing the rls 9 and then update see if this help

So the very first time you flashed hyperdrive, you selected at&t and the ziggy kernel and it didn't work? I'm assuming you gave it plenty of time on the first boot up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but hyperdrive is a verizon base, yes? If so, this might be the source of your problem, even though it is a "multi-carrier" rom. You can try wiping data, cache and dalvik in recovery then rebooting. Like i said, though, you will probably have to another route (restore backup or flash new rom). When you successfully boot up next, I would imagine your model is different in about phone

If you're really wanting to get this particular rom going, changing to twrp might help. In my signature there is a link. Near the bottom of post #2 flashable recovery zips are mentioned. Download the twrp one and throw it on your phone. Boot into recovery and flash it. Reboot recovery. Wipe data, cache and try flashing the rom again.

It could take 10 or so minutes for the initial boot. If it takes a lot longer, you can try booting back onto recovery to wipe data and cache again. If this does not work, I would go another route

ok , if not i'll try to flash some other kernels to see if it boots up , i f not i'll just give up on this rom and go back to synergy

When you're back up and running on a rom, go into settings > about phone and tell me what your device is listed as. You may have small issues down the road if your phone has been designated as an SCH-I535 or anything other than SGH-I747. That's an easy build.prop fix, though. Good luck

Everytime I reboot my phone is stuck at the Logo

I'm not new to flashing ROMs, etc. But I'm completely confused on why when I installed the Wicked V4 ROM it works fine, but when i restart my phone it stays on the logo and I have to re flash the ROM again.
Any ideas?

Are you talking about the Galaxy S 4 logo or the boot animation? Either way, you should restore a nandroid backup (hopefully you made one before flashing Wickid V4).
The issue could be caused by not doing a proper wipe before flashing

Yeah I thought that would fix it too, but it doesn't. What I've had to do is reflash the ROM after clearing the cache and all of that, along with the factory reset and it works fine, the ROM will boot up and works great,but once I restart it just stays at the Galaxy S 4 logo and I have to do it all over again. I've also tried different recoveries because TWRP always wants a password when I boot into recovery and i'm not sure why.
(I've tried various ROMs and they all do this)
So I guess the only thing I can really do at this point would go ahead and use Odin to go to stock and try it all over again.

AFTER you flash stock rom, perform factory reset wipe, and you wont get stuck. flash recovery. and then flash custom rom and you should be fine

Yeah I'm coming from the Galaxy S 4G so I got some learning to do when it comes to this phone.
And yes that makes sense, obviously a Odin flash of stock should fix the problem?
Or could I just flash a correct Kernel and maybe that will fix the problem? I'm not quite sure.
I'm thinking Odin is the way to go at this point.

I've had success with just flashing the right kernel (and clearing dalvik/cache)...but if you're not already set up within the ROM an Odin would make sure you've got a clean base to work with.

Thanks so much for your input, now with the Wicked V4 ROM, what Kernel would be best to flash?
If you don't know that fine, I'm just curious. :good:
I haven't rebooted my phone yet, so it's working fine, and it's somewhat set up in term of my contacts, texts, and so on. I'd rather not do Odin if possible, but if I have to I will.

That's a matter of preference...just make sure to pull a TW kernel. Of course, the kernel built into Wicked should work just fine as well.
I've been a fan of ktoonsez's kernel (link in my sig). 7/7 got a little crashy on me, but 7/2 has been running smooth

Problem fixed, thanks everyone.

[Q] Nexus 4 Paranoid Android Stuck in Bootloop

Hi!
So, first off, I'm completely new to all of this. I've had my Nexus for about a year now, and after much reading, thinking and research I decided to root it and flash Paranoid Android. I did a terrible job, clearly.
I used Nexus root toolkit 1.7.2 and was running Jellybean 4.3.
First problem was that my root wouldn't go into custom recovery mode, all I got was an open droid on its side with a red exclamation point. That was scary.
I unrooted using toolkit and rerooted. The custom recovery worked this time, so from there I flashed Paranoid Android 3.99
It started to reboot in PA, and it's still going.
I can't get into recovery mode. I can't get the battery out.
Every time I try to get into recovery mode it starts to reboot. Right now, I have a glowing brick of glass and metal
So, yeah. Anyone got a solution?
Thanks.

I successfully flashed the stock rom.:laugh: I used nexus toolkit, just had to use the advanced settings that sounded scary at first.
Could someone provide or link to a step by step indepth guide to flashing PA. Starting from before root. I don't trust myself again.

No, sorry... can't help you there.
Did a quick google search and found reports of volume keys not functioning for some people after a 4.3 update but nothing in regards to the back button.
As it's not a problem I'm familiar with, the most I could suggest is a reboot. If you do plan on flashing a custom ROM though, hopefully that resolves it.

Issue seemed to have fixed itself. Odd.
Thanks for your help!

Stock recovery cannot flash custom ROMs

Replacement GS3

I have received a replacement GS3 2 days ago. I rooted the phone no problems and it came with MK3 already on it. But no matter what rom I flash, they all cause a lot of random reboots and lockups. TW and CM based roms ive tried with the same results. I do multiple wipes before installing any rom so I know that cant be the problem. It got so annoying that i just flashed the stock tar in odin even though i hate not being rooted. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Are you flashing 4.3 TW ROMs? Do you format system before flashing the ROMs (if they do not say that they do it for you)?

Yes, I'm flashing 4.3 roms. I do wipe the system, I don't know if that is the same as formatting the system though(?)

In CWM the option is format /system. Is wipe system an option in TWRP? And when you flashed the ROMs and the FCs show up, have you tried a factory data reset to clear all data?

Yes, in TWRP in the wipe options, (wipe system) is an option. I haven't gotten any FC's on the 4.3 roms i were flashing. Moar's rom is the main one i used after i got the replacement. Wicked's rom in recovery when I tried to flash would always say unable to mount \system. I can flash CM 11 nightlies fine, but they just have too many random reboots for my liking. I havent tried to factory reset after flashing a rom yet though.

The thing is with Knox in the bootloader you are stuck with and the warranty bit in the secondary bootloader you need to stick with 4.3 and above ROMs as they include compatible kernels. Your options are more limited now than they were. If the Wicked ROM is 4.3 you might try flashing with CWM.

Cool. I will try it with CWM. This sucks because my replacement phone came with Knox already on it. I just wish CM 11 roms werent so buggy on my phone so I could stick with that. Thanks for all your help.

I would also suggest trying Philz Touch recovery instead of CWM or TWRP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446393
---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------
If you do decide to try Philz (highly recommended!), the option for wiping prior to a ROM install is under Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then choose "Clean to Install New ROM" this will take care of everything you need to start properly. CM11 has run flawlessly for me since its release in early December, but I also am Knox-free. I don't believe that should make a difference though, sounds more like you are not getting a good install, as @kennyglass123 is suggesting. Additionally, some users find that you need to let the ROM "settle in" before doing anything. This means flash just the ROM, and once it boots up don't do anything-no WiFi setup, no fiddling around with apps, nothing for a few minutes. Then, boot back into recovery, flash GApps, boot back into system, and let it sit for a few minutes more. Then, go ahead and setup WiFi connection, Google account, etc.

[Q] Multiple problems after flashing Stock

Hello everyone,
After a long fight to try and get this phone back to normal, everything seemed good,
except not really
I started on a buggy CM11 version. Sick of it, I downloaded a 4.4.4 stock rom. I had to disable firewall and defender, but I got Odin to flash my md5. I got through everything and it booted successfully. After signing in and all that jazz, I find out that my WiFi isn't working. After a few reboots, My 4G finally works and everything seems to be steady.
Then, after exploring the rest of the phone I find out that all my apps from last ROM are still there. I know that you are supposed to wipe before flashing, but I was told that Odin will take care of that. It obviously didn't.
After THAT, I try to boot into Recovery as the next sensible step is to try to wipe my data and cache. I turn the phone off and press (Vol up + Home + Pwr) and the first boot screen shows for a moment. It says in blue "RECOVERY BOOTING" in the corner. Right after, it disappears and in another second it does the same screen without the "RECOVERY BOOTING". And as presumed, it does a regular boot.
What did I miss? How can I wipe my phone from recovery? How can I fix my problem with Wifi?

Reflash in Odin.
Make sure you have the correct stock rom. If you flash the "md5" you may have flashed the wrong thing. The md5 is not tge firmware, that is just the code that verifies your firmware file is not corrupted.
If your old apps were still there, you flashed the wrong thing. There is no way to flash stock firmware in odin and not wipe the data partition.

You are correct then
Yeah, I flashed a tar.md5 in Odin. It gave me a new ROM but all my apps are there. After all that, I still can't go to recovery. I tried using the terminal and ROM Toolbox to go there, both didn't work. Can I just leave it as it is and find a way to recovery or is the only way to go to bootloader and flash a correct file to get to recovery?

Flash twrp and see if it will reboot into recovery, then factory reset and flash latest firmware with Odin right after. Odin will NOT wipe data. It has to be done manually

It depends on what you ate flashing.
If you are flashing a full stock factory image it will wipe user data. If you are just flashing a system partition it won't.

How do I know whatever I download is deodexed? And I went to a page of ROMs someone gave me and I downloaded the NK2 version, which also gave me a tar.md5. If I want the correct thing to flash, what should I flash?

The first post of any customized stock rom will tell you if its deodexed. If it doesn't say it...its not.

@Essem G:
Any updates for us? I'm following this thread because I have similar problems with my WiFi not working after upgrading from 4.2.2.
Any luck getting TWRP flashed?
Also I believe that the stock firmwares do come as tar.md5's, as in the file: M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar.md5 from ShinySide's stock firmware thread.
As for the WiFi issue, from the hours of reading I've done it looks like this problem occurs when you upgrade your firmware, but it no longer matches the bootloader. Such as bootloader (Baseband) showing MDL, but Build Number showing NH7, NK2, etc. What does your show?
This thread may be of use to you when you get back to a working ROM. Good luck!

@RavenMind1
Everyone has been saying different answers and i've put off fixing my device for a while. I'm just afraid i'll brick it forever and have another nightmare after this current one. So no, there has been no progress. I think i'm gonna try to flash Philz and format my system, then flash a deodexed rom. @g7755725 said that you can flash TWRP, but I usually use Philz. It appears to be that I have lost root access because no root features work and SuperSU won't recognize it. Will everything work or am I setting my self up for disaster?
Edit: Where can I find a deodexed rom? I desperately need one, thanks

If you're trying to go back to complete stock then just Odin NK2 firmware. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508 I used the NK2 from here about 2 days ago to go back to stock.
