[Q] Help unbricking soft bricked phone

Help
I have had my phone rooted for 3 months now so i decided to go to the next level and install a custom rom. I installed cynagenmod on my device via clock work mod.
Just to let you know i have CLOCKWORKMOD ASWELL
As i did it it installed correctly until i booted it and realized i was in a boot loop.
the cynagen mod would freeze half way through the boot.
I have tried odin but i'm not sure if i'm doing it wrong, is there any other software or things u can do. Is it possible to do it with clockwork mod, i had tried the update thing but it aborts and i can seem to get a rom that i can use that would help or is there a will load as a zip. is there any thing that you guys have done that unbricked ur wonder that you could share ?
Thank you for your time

just suggest., reboot to CWM and wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache.
if it can't solve the problem you should to flash custom ROM again via CWM and if it can't solve your problem again, just back to Stock.

Go to cwm
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Flash download zip custom rom
Flash gapps
And enjoy it

Try updating your recovery and then flash
edit: if already on latest, change to a different recovery

As I Don't see how that would help... I said I wiped dalvik cache and data(GAPPS), and cache.. That being said when I rebooted my system an error message saying com.androidsystemui cannot process or something like that... and at the moment my phone wouldn't connect via usb(Common S4 problem) I fixed this somehow I went out and bought a Motorola charger (A samsung one wouldn't work, and still doesn't) it finally connected so then I downloaded "Imperium ROM v10.0 FINAL, Bloatware v6.1, USPM Imperium v2.1" and copied such onto my phone and installed them like any other ROM

Recovery can cause problems. I agree with the suggestion to switch recoveries of you don't already have it working. I would also suggest doing a full wipe prior to installing the ROM in recovery. Phil's Touch works well on the S4.

[Q] HELP. HTC One X Stuck in bootloop. Almost all famous solutions tried out

So I wanted to go to Lollipop and I happened to flash the twrp recovery for new layout(as i was getting boot loop when flashing the rom with cwm recovery)
The things i tried until now.
1. Installed twrp and formatted it to get the new layout. Wiped everything, system, cache, data, dalvik cache
2. It was supporting MTP so i transferred the roms to the device being in recovery. Installed CM 12 + gapps for lollipop.
3. Rebooted to bootloader again. flashed boot.img, and did fastboot erase cache.
4. Rebooted again and stuck at CM boot logo.
I wiped the cache, dalvik cache(actually did a factory reset in the twrp recovery) and tried installing Resurrection Remix. Again flashed the relevant boot.img too. But the same result..
Did i destroy my phone?

wipe dalik,chace,chace,data then go to,mount select system,chace,data,2gb extra data ,and disabel mtp
if your phone dot show up just leave it on select partions to mount ,unplug cable then plug it back,go to device manager btw and see will it show there

Yes I can enter recovery. But again I just cant get any lollipop ROM's working. I dont know whether i have to restore to kitkat(i really dont want too..
I dont get it.. Wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and then disable mtp and then enable mtp.. I mean at the end what does this do?
And in the meanwhile did you mean HTC Sync Manager for device manager. FYI I use a mac(if this helps to get into the problem). And i had flashed kitkat roms from the same without a hiccup but lollipop is failing

its hard to explain with recovery you can mount ur sdcard and put another room and install ,the easy way its to start from the begin and install clear CM12 and you will get out from bootloop that help me i was in bootloop like 3920489208420984920 times hahaha

Have you solve the bootloop issue? I am having the same problem on my International One X
thanks

Probably both of you encountered the same problem as me.
If you are S-on, you have to flash rom and kernel separately. Also, if you try to revert any changes with twrp you have to flash kernel you were using during creation of backup, and then restore backup.
In other words: your current kernel is incompatible with rom.

Mwys
Yes i am S-ON. Can you tell me what the steps are to flash the kernel? I do not have a backup.
What is did was flash New Layout TWRP, did a complete wipe, then copied the ROM and G-Apps zips to the phone, installed them and then flashed boot.img.
Thanks for the help

Yup I also tried the same. but no luck. I tried to revert back to kitkat(by installing cwm, format the storage, sideloaded the ROM and gapps, flashed the boot.img) and still again in bootloop.
Sorry for the delay. I was a lot too busy with work.

Wiped Internal Storage; now phone reboots on loading ROMs

Hey guys,
So last night I accidentally wiped internal storage in TWRP. I guess that messed up my partitions or something, I don't know. Anyway, I can still access recovery, and I've tried to do a restore (one that I made back when I was on stock 4.4.2 I think) but after that it tries to boot, gets to "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app Y of X." and once that operation completes it shows the lockscreen for about a tenth of a second, and the phone reboots.
I'm stumped. Anyone know what can I do?
Sorry if this has been asked a hundred times. For some reason the search function in the forums isn't working for me. And I've been looking for a solution all morning.
EDIT: FYI when I tried the restore I did only System and Data and not Boot, because I was afraid that'd cause more problems.

Did you try restoring and performing a factory wipe before booting the newly-restored ROM?

It seems that Marshmallow based roms aren't working, but Lollipop ones will boot. Not sure why as I didn't have any problem with the same MM roms in the past.
More info:
MM roms wont flash in TWRP; after the failed attempt, TWRP says system cannot be mounted until I either wipe or install a 12.1 rom.
Tried to install a stock rom (4.4.2) and it failed in TWRP. Just says "Error Flashing"

Are you performing a full wipe (system, Dalvik, cache, data) before installing or restoring a ROM? Is the phone running the latest version of TWRP?

Yes to full wipe. TWRP is 2.8.7.0, so yeah I think it's the newest? Not 100% sure.

Wiping internal storage should not affect the partitions. I'm not sure that TWRP even has the ability to change partitions.
Yes, 2.8.7.0 is the latester version of TWRP.
If you are on the nj2 bootloader, try flashing this in TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/rooted-ucufnj1-stock-rom-t2985006

Welp, seems to be all good now. Not sure if I really did anything to fix it or not. I tried to install a stock ROM but it wouldn't boot (stuck on Samsung logo) but after that my CM13 ROM installed properly again. The one CM13 ROM I have still wont install at all - maybe that file became corrupt or something? Not sure if that's even possible.
Either way I'm all fixed up. Thanks for all your help.
Cheers

Glad you got it sorted out. If you do figure out what you did to get it working, post your answer as it may help others that are in a similar situation.

Can someone please help me with my rom installtion on twrp please

HI,
can someone please help me. So i had a rooted zuk z2 with TWRP and the Citurus 7.1.1 ROM installed. but one of the one which i need to use daily does not let me use it if my phone has been rooted. So i went onto SuperSU and uninstalled root and rebooted and my device was now unrooted. But still the device says that because it had been rooted im not able to use it until i do a factory reset. So, i decided to go into settings and click on 'factory reset' . i press it and i thought everthing would install and i would open a fresh Citrus ROM with nothing installed and no root but the phone keeps going into recovery as if it cant open the ROM. So i stayed in recovery and wiped dalvik cashe and everything and tried restoring a back up i had made previously about a month ago of the ROM. it said that it had installed no errors or anything popped so i rebooted and it just keeps going to the recovery page. I even tried reinstalling the CITRUS ROM zip again which was still in my phone and i even ticked boot system after flash and it still sends me to the TWRP recovery page after showing the message saying this device cant be trusted. Can someone please help me resolve this issue? i just wanted to be able to reset the phone so i could use the app i needed to.

Go to TWRP>Wipe>Advanced>/then select system, data, cache and dalvik cache and swipe to wipe. Now flash rom (gapps optional).
