I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919N) from Metro PCS.
First I rooted it, then I flashed Cyanogenmod. I didn't like Cyanogenmod so I tried to flash it back to the stock rom. The problem is that there is no stock rom out there yet for my phone. So I used the stock rom for the T-Mobile version (SGH-M919). After I flashed it, the Cyanogenmod whirling blue circle came up so I knew something was wrong. It stayed on that circle for about thirty mins then I turned the phone off. Now, even CWM recovery won't come up(just the android laying on its back with a !red triangle above it) and anytime I try turning the phone on, it just goes back to the Cyanogenmod screen and stays there. Somebody please help me!
Theres no stock rom because Metros s4 is Tmos s4. Its literally the same phone. How did you flash back to stock? Zip file or Odin with a tar? I suggest boot into download mode and flash the stock tar via odin

I was messing with my Gs2, trying out some new roms (it has been rooted and custom flashed since i got the phone a while ago) and ended up with a soft brick getting stuck at the Samsung screen during boot. No big deal I though (since this is my backup phone I didnt worry about it) and planned on flashing back to stock with Odin and starting over. I flashed the stock 4.1 via odin and it all seemed to go fine, but when it rebooted it got stuck at the same samsung screen. I left it there for like 20 minutes and it never booted. I then downloaded the stock 4.0 and same thing. I am about to try going back in time to the stock 2.3 and see if i can work my way forward from that, but if it doesnt work, what is the cause of the phone not being able to boot after all these stock flashes?

Im stuck in the same boat with my S4
which ODIN version are you using and are you using the links from SAMMOBILE to get the firmware you need ? also what are your methods of procedure and is odin giving out any errors or saying pass and still no boot ?
So, i have a Samsung Galaxy S III i747... Flashed it with CyanogenMod, and saw horrible battery life, and the phone stayed hot... Flashed back to an older version of CyanogenMod, and it was just unstable and a mess, so i formatted everything from recovery, and installed the stock ROM via Odin... Stock ROM worked, but i wanted back to Cyanogen, so i rooted the phone, downloaded the ROM manager, downloaded the ROM, and installed it... And it failed. So, i figured i'd hit the NAND Erase All button in Odin, and then repartition the phone, thinking the buttons wouldn't blow up the world... Now i'm stuck at the Samsung logo at boot. I've tried several different versions of the stock ROM, i can still get into recovery, and i can still get into download mode, but it always get stuck at the Samsung Logo after the AT&T carrier video.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm really hoping i didn't brick my phone... Odin sees it, and everything still works, i just can't boot the stock ROM, which means i can't get anywhere else.
try a factory reset in recovery after flashing rom

I Odin'd to stock a couple days ago and was at the Samsung Logo for a WHILE (over and hour). It did just go eventually.
Not sure what did it... Got a PIT file, and then did the NAND Erase All bit again when i installed the stock ROM again. Wiped data as soon as install finished, and it booted right up. I'm happy again
Now if i can just figure out the LTE glitch...

Odin back to 4.2 (Not 4.3 becuase of knox stuff). Use this thread for help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628&highlight=stock
Then flash your rom back. Or flash a specific 4.4 rom do not try to OTA.

Thank you very much nba this did the trick im back on virgin rom and it works again.
I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 on my S3 about a month ago. Yesterday, I got a notification on my phone stating that an update was available for CyanogenMod. I let it install and when the phone rebooted, it was stuck on the bootloader for at least an hour or two. I figured that I must've bricked the phone. I can still get into recovery mode and download mode.
So, I tried to reinstall the stock AT&T GS3 ROM as I had never particularly liked CyanogenMod. I thought this would be a great time to reinstall the stock ROM. I factory reset the phone and flashed the stock ROM (which I downloaded from another thread) using Odin. It automatically rebooted, the Samsung logo flashed for a second and the CyanogenMod bootloader showed up and it has not gone away since. So, what have I done wrong here and is there a way to save my phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Where did you get the ROM you flashed? Did your phone have the 4.3 bootloader? What about Knox?
If your phone has the 4.3 bootloader, you cannot flash the 4.3 ROM via Odin as it was never released as a complete ROM, only as an update. THis might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
I am happy to be a brand new member of XDA
I am also a noob:/ I have been on this website for a while now and have found nothing for my problem with my SGH-I317 Galaxy Note 2...
My Problem- I installed CWM custom recovery it wokred fine I installed CM 10 (that was a week ago). yestarday I went to turn on my phone when i woke up. It showed the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" and then went CRAZY the logo spazzed and then just turned black. I immediatly went into odin and flashed my only stock rom the SGH-I317 android 4.1.1 because I could only access the download mode. I went to go and do an OTA update to 4.3 (I think I messed up right here). It went fine up until it restarted and and froze on the Galaxy Note 2 logo. I can still access Download mode but I cant get into either stock recovery or the custom recovery mode. I have tried flashing three different stock roms and Odin says it passed but it just reboots and stays on that logo. Please help I am not in the position to buy or replace a new phone (I'm only 14).
