[Q] Stuck on Google play edition rom - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I originally had a the touch wiz with T-Mobile and then I installed the Google play edition and ran it through the recovery. But I don't really like how the Google play works so I tried to reformat it and then it bricked (just stayed on the Samsung galaxy s4 start up).. So I tried to put other things like eclipse touchwiz but that made my phone stuck on the start up and made it shut down with a 3 sec vibration.. Only the google play edition works so far... It also help fix the bricks. So please help me try to get it back to the original touch wiz!

If nothing seems to work by flashing, then the only solution is to use Odin to restore your phone back to factory settings.

Out of curiosity - Did you try to restore your stock ROM back up?
I would also check the ROM thread if anyone else had similar issue and then go from there.

Find a different cm10 compatible kernel and flash it through cwm or through Odin.

Have you tried going into recovery? Maybe there is still cwm? Since your flash back to stock seems to have been unsuccessful.

Just had a thought. It's easy to get stuck on boot when you flash back to stock without wiping.
If you can wipe it/factory reset that could solve you're problem.
And it'll boot up.
It's confusing cause it looks a lot like your phone not booting cause of the kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Yeah just take the battery out and get into android recovery by pressing volume up, power, and home button. Then wipe/factory reset and reboot system.
^^^^ just like the gentleman said. Reboot into recovery and factory reset it. It should boot up after that.

Recovery isn't there, any way I could do it from adb?
Sent from my HTC Ruby using xda app-developers app
If you can get into download mode, reflash the stock tar in Odin again or just flash the cwm or trwp recovery tar and reflash a different kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999
Here is a link to Odin-able recoveries that you can use. I also agree with the others that this is probably a mismatched ROM/Kernel that is preventing you from booting up. The only problem I foresee is that you Odin'd a stock image, so now you are not on CM10 anymore. Now you'll have to find a TW kernel that you can flash, like Morfic's or I think Ktoonez has one too. But you can ADB push the kernel to your SDcard so that when you flash the recovery above, you should be able to then go in and find your kernel and flash that.
What I suggest first is to Odin one of the recoveries (TWRP is what I use) and then once that is done, go in and Factory Reset and try to boot it up. If it works, great. If not, then you may need to move on to pushing a kernel and flashing that.
Volume up + Home + Power takes you to Recovery.
Have you tried that?

Tell people what worked so that it can be documented when it happens again and I can link them to something they didn't search for themselves.

MiataROM 4.3

THIS IS A TEST ROM​
This rom is just a test for the i317 using the leaked 4.3 files from the n7100 including all the Note 3 features...
I'm not sure if this will even boot on your phone but I no longer have a Note 2 to test it out.
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR PHONE BEFORE CONTINUING!!!
1. Download ROM - Torrent
2. Copy zip to sd card
3. COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR PHONE (important step)
4. Flash zip with cwm
5. Reboot and hopefully enjoy 4.3 with all Note 3 features!

It could be an issue with the kernel not being supplied from 4.3. I'll look into it more.

Sorry. Wiped x 3 just to be sure. Twrp flashed. Boots to Galaxy screen then goes to black and vibrates 2 times every 7 seconds. Any other method you want me to try?
Thanks for the file. Maybe one of the other dev want to look this over?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Update:
I was able to dirty flash over SkyNote 4.3. Boots but doesn't work well with blue tooth. wiped and FC bluetooth and cleared data but still FC and won't turn on. wifi and data still worked.
SO it is somewhat comparable, must need a boot loader to install cleanly on i317.
Oh! so close........maybe sean can take a look at this?
thanks for the file sharing,
but will n7100 kernel work in n7105?
and any issue for knox?
can be downgraded?
will try
Why dont you just try using the leaked ATT image as a base instead?

Bricked My Note 2 via Brain Fart

So here's what happened - I installed digitalblur but forgot to install the 4.3 bootloader prior to flashing digitalblur. ROM flashed fine and went thru setup of rom and then as I always do after setup I like to reboot the phone. But it wouldn't reboot, all it would do is continue to boot loop at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen. Now I can't get into recovery. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this issue?

If you can get into download mode, you should be able to Odin back to stock.

Gapps isn't responding when restoring image on CW recovery please need help

When I restore my image the one that I backed up on CM recovery, my Samsung s4 reboots and turn on without no problem but when I put in my pin gapps pops up saying "unfortunately gapps have stop" and I click ok but it keeps poping up.
Please I need help

Are you restoring old data from and old rom install to a new rom install?
If so, you can't do that. Use titanium backup or helium for backing up your apps and data

It happens to me as well in my note 2 with cwm. I installed twrp instead. I haven't tried the restore yet though. Titanium backup was the best option for me

No I was runing cm11 and I wanted to go back to stock android so I did a nandriod backup before I flash anything. Now running cm11 i reboot into Cwm recovery and restore my backup image on my s4 which was TouchWiz 4.4.2 and when it reboot on, I unlock the phone and the pop-up keep showing up like every 5 second. So I can't do nothing because of this pop-ups

You cant restore your TouchWiz data partition to a cm rom

OK but I mean the nandriod backup is a image of my phone like how it was when I first root it, so if my phone go brick I can boot into recovery and restore my phone back to how it was before. So now I trying to restore my phone back to how it was before because I don't want to use cm11 until it is stable.

So let me get this straight.
You are using a device not officially supported by the Paranoid Android team, post in the Paranoid Android forum section, to get help going back to stock from cm11?
You realize that there is an entire section of the forums dedicated to your device?
