So I was installing modaco switch on my phone and it worked for a bit but then when I rebooted it it wouldn't turn on. I've tried flashing it in odin and nothing happened and it still doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas.
Can you access Odin? If so, I recommend flashing back to stock first.

Are you able to get your device into ODIN/Download mode?
If so, flash the Samsung Stock Firmware as macboy3000 suggested.
To get your device into ODIN mode:
Power down device
Press Power and Vol down buttons and hold
Device should show an image
Press Vol up and you'll be in ODIN mode
Some helpful tips:
Follow the instructions via the red link in my sig.
Be sure to have enough juice in your battery
Have a good usb cord. This is the reason many ODIN flashes fail.
Check your md5 checksum match between the download file and your download prior to flashing the stock Firmware.

I'm not sure what would cause think

After you flashed ODIN, did you go into stock recovery and Factory reset, then reboot, both from within Recovery?

No, I don't think it'll boot the stock recovery but I'll try that
If you flash stock and still receive boot loops, try going into recovery and wiping data and cache.
take out your sdcard too just for the hell of it.
I just reread your post, and your device is working fine, it's just that you want to know how to get Modaco Switch to work on your device with stability, because it stops working shortly after it's installed.
I had thought your device stopped working. I don't think ODIN will be your answer, and I don't about Modaco.
Maybe:
See if others have Modaco Switch working with stability, and if so:
try wiping cache & dalvik cache in Recovery, or try wiping first.

It's not working fine. It doesn't boot at all. I tried going into recovery and it still boot loops even after flashing with odin.

Ah, so I did read it right the first time. I saw the title the 1st time but I didn't see it the 2nd time, which is why I thought just Modaco wasn't turning on when I read your post without reading the title the 2nd time.
Plus I missed all the follow up posts. That's what I get for running around on my phone trying to read threads
With that being said, then what I wrote should resolve your issues.
Follow my RED link in my sig, and that should help to resolve your issues. I wrote out the steps previously, but looking at the link may help you

You mentioned in the op you tried flashing in ODIN.
What exactly is your phone able to do?
Do you see anything on the display?
Does it boot into anything?
Etc...
What does 'tried going into recovery but it still boot loops' mean?
If you go step by step what you did before the issue and after, including Exactly what status your device is in, it will help in attempting to troubleshoot and resolve your issues.
I can get it into download mode but flashing Odin does nothing. When I hit the power button to turn it on it goes all the way until the t mobile logo and stalls. Sometimes it just vibrations off and on with a dark screen. When I try to go into recovery with the volume up and power keys or says 'rebooting recovery' in blue like it always does but then it just goes to booting normally and then hangs there.

Can you confirm what version of the S4 you have?
The SGH-M919?
Not trying to be stupid or anything, just making sure.
Have you tried this..
1. Flash a recovery image using Heimdall (I'd suggest ClockworkMod)
2. Reboot to recovery. (Hopefully it goes through this time)
3. adb sideload a ROM to your device.
4. Flash the ROM.
5. Win?
Just trying to think of ways you can get your device back up and running.

You have to:
Power down device
Don't power up
Press Power and Vol down buttons simultaneously
Press Vol up button
You should be in ODIN mode

I did that. It's caked download mode. That's where I flashed Odin off my computer.
I noticed after flashing stock with Odin, I get bootloops, unless I do a factory reset. After stock flashes, it reboots into recovery and wipes cache by itself. When it finishes that and it starts to reboot by itself, I press the volume up button and go into recovery. I do a factory reset and reboot and all is fine, no bootloops.

Mine doesn't do that though. It just boot loops without going into recovery.

I understand that, my post is describing what happens when you flash a stock tar, not bootlooping, I am describing exactly what happens during the process of flashing a stock tar and how to avoid bootlooping, step by step. I guess you weren't paying attention when you flashed a stock tar with Odin, it reboots for the first time by itself and goes into stock recovery and wipes cache by itself, it's a normal process, maybe that part confused you. Any hows, good luck, I have explained step by step what I do to avoid bootloops and my directions are clear and simple. Bye.
I am stuck in a very weird state with my phone. I rooted my phone after the 4.3 MK2 update and flashed CWM and a custom ROM. Everything was fine, except the front camera didn't work. So I was told to flash a kernel to fix it.
After flashing the kernel, it entered a weird state, where the screen was all scrambled, and I could not get into recovery. Trying to enter Recovery would show set warranty: recovery and then a black screen. So I downloaded the MK2 stock Tmo ROM and tried to flash it via ODIN (v3.09). While ODIN says successful, the phone is stuck at the T-Mobile 4G LTE white screen for about 5 minutes.
I tried flashing the root and TWRP/CWM recoveries, but I still can't enter recovery.
Could someone please help? I have done everything I know, and I am beginning to suspect that I've damaged the phone permanently.
Do a factory reset in stock recovery. It sometimes takes a while for first boot. Worked for me.

When I press down Vol up and power, it goes blank. I can't access any recovery, stock or custom. Actually, I take that back. I never tried to access stock recovery. I didn't think I had any options to do a reset in stock. Is there?
You can do a reset there.

That worked. It looked like I pressed and held the volume up+power and didn't let go at the right time. Once I got into recovery, I was able to do a factory reset and wipe cache and it booted up.
Thanks.
Hi, I've just successfully rooted my P600. I'm now trying to flash TWRP using the same version of ODIN (3.09). It tells me it is successful, but I am unable to enter recovery.
I've tried holding Vol UP+Power and it just keeps rebooting and showing the initial Samsung Note 2014 edition splash screen.

Hit Power+Vol Up and release it once you see the tablet turned on. If you keep holding the combo, it keeps rebooting

I tried that, and it just reboots again. Its almost as if it hasnt installed TWRP properly.
But ODIN tells me it succeeded.

Cool. Have fun
Well, I had a problem entering recovery few times, the way I finaly get in there is: hold power+up button until reboot, then randomly press this too buttons as fast as you can =) The way is stupid I know but it worked fine for me
Can you tell me the build number you guys are on? I just rooted, but I dont think the bootloader is unlocked.

I attempted to unroot my tab s with a stock image using Odin. Usually this works with no problem. I had CM11 installed and was going back to stock. It went through the whole process but when it reboots, it gets to the screen where it says Samsung but goes no further. I can get into download mode with no problem but flashing the stock image will not let it boot up correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
Stock Kernel?
Wipe cache and dalvik cahche in recovery.
I cannot boot into Recovwey. I can get it to reboot either into download mode. Also when it reboots it will just go to the screen that says Samsung.. It is the screen right after the one that has the actual Ssunf logo and it says SM-T700
I would guess flashing another rom from the uk or different country would work? You should be able to get into recovery by holding the power home and vol up button.
When I do that it reboots but just brings up the same Samsung screen and it stays there. Is there something I can try to flash through Odin because I can get to the download mode? I already tried flashing the stock firmware but not the latest version. Maybe I can flash the latest?

It could of been that the new update fixes some issues in which is why you couldnr flash the old update.
Hi everybody,
some time ago I flashed my ace II with cm 11 build 20141118 by ace2nutzer. Installation was ok and it worked properly. However, it had some minor problems, one of which was that battery wouldn't charge while booting the phone. One day it happened that my phone arrived at 0% battery and shut down. I couldn't find a way to turn it on because of the too-low battery, so I tried to see if during recovery mode maybe the battery would charge... but, instead of going to recovery, I pressed the wrong buttons and entered into download mode. There, the phone wouldn't charge and at one point it shut down. After some days I discovered that I could charge the phone by simply connecting it to a computer... But now it won't start. It gets bootloop (more precisely it keeps restarting) at the samsung logo. I tried to reflash the build I had before, but I keep getting status 7 error (even after deleting asserts).
Soo, is my phone bricked? Is there anything I could do to make it work?
Thanks to anyone that will help me
tl;dr: phone shut down during download mode, now bootloops and gives Status 7 error (even after deleting asserts) while trying to flash the same ROM it had before.
Anyone?
I forgot to say that I had a nandroid backup, but I can't restore it: it says "error while restoring /system!".

CWM is a custom recovery. stock recovery is the one you have installed with the stock firmware.
