Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, load a .zip rom and push it via custom recovery...
.... If not, use ADB to push a reflash of a clean install of 4.3

i do not have a custom recovery, the only thing it has in the cell and the image I downloaded wrong, my phone is in recovery screen that comes with it when I turn the volume button, after that I do not know what else to do, because I have no how to transfer the image to the correct cell to update, so I need to know how to transfer the image to the correct device

if you are able to boot to recovery. you have to be in fast boot...
you can either use fastboot to flash over
or
boot into recovery and apply a rom via ADB sideload

[Q] Won't boot after ROM install

Hello! My first post here on the forum
So I've got this problem that my Samsung Galaxy S4 won't boot properly after the rom install.
The recovery I've been using is CWM and after the install when I press reboot the phone vibrates and the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" screen shows up and then the phone immediately shuts down again. Now I can't get the phone to start... :/
Thanks, Joakim.

Do a data factory reset reflash the rom again and clear the caches and reboot. Which rom did you flash?

Hmm alright, I tried to flash 4.2.2 google edition. But the problem is now when I go into recovery my phone can't find any ROM to install.
It feels like it's broken. And I've got no adapter for the micro-SD card so I manually can put in a rom to the SD :/
I can get in to the CWM recovery but in "install zip update package -> choose ZIP from sdcard" there is nothing. So all I can do is try to get a rom into the external SD and flash from there?

Yes, do that. Power down the phone, take the sdcard out and place a rom on it, boot into recovery and flash it in CWM. If that gives problems flash a stock rom in downloadmode with Odin.

push rom with adb. (you must have adb file on your pc)
boot into custom recovery, connect your phone, put the rom in with adb folder, open cmd prompt in the adb folder and type:
Code:
adb devices
you must see serial number
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /data/media/
or
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then install the rom

it is just a simple push to sd :good:

No bro, the device is OFFLINE. You would have checked the box first when the device was on in usb mode. Like you have to with a nexus (fingerprint).

no, you need usb debugging enabled only when the OS is booted.
in custom recovery, you will see the serial number with "recovery" at the right in cmd

I will get you some details instructions if you can wait till tomorrow.
Or, read this thread and YouTube how to do an adb side load. In short, you will need to download android sdk to your PC, download the rom zip file, plug your phone in and enter twrp's adb side load, open command prompt, and enter adb side load command.

Ok, so here's what I did to install a ROM in TWRP when I wiped all the data using adroid SDK tools and TWRP ADB side load:
- Go here to download Android SDK https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (remember where you save/install it)
- Download your ROM and Gapps file (For Sprint, I think we only have Carbon ROM so use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502789)
- Once you've downloaded the ROM and Gapps zip files, save the zip file into "your drive:\androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools" (this just makes it easier to find when doing the adb side load)
- Now plug your phone into your PC. Go into TWRP and start up ADB Side load. I think it's in Advanced button.
- Now open up the "your drive:\androidSDK\sdk\platform-tools" folder. In that folder, do a Shift-Right-Click and click "Open Command Window Here" to open cmd w/ that destination already mapped out.
- From here, all you have to do is type in "adb sideload [enter zip file name here]" and it should start installing over to your phone.
**** One important thing to note, if for some reason, in the command prompt your device is not visible, download PDA net for Android http://pdanet.co/ (this was actually my case and PDA net worked like a charm)

[Q] GAPPS failed to flash/install, what are my options?

So I decided to install PA 4.6 BETA4 on my Nexus 4, 4.3 JWR66Y Phone which is unlocked and rooted. I used the Nexus Root Toolkit to install the latest TWRP recovery, put the pa_mako-4.6-BETA4-20141007.zip and pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141011-signed.zip onto my phone. Went into recovery to flash the two. The PA ROM went successful, tried flashing the gapps and it just says failed. I tried redoing the ROM flash then gapps again but that doesn't work.
I had the dumb idea of moving my nandroid backup to my computer and now I can't transfer it back to my phone using adb sideload. I go into ADB sideload in TWRP, and it just says no devices found when trying to transfer maually. When I try using NRToolkit, it fails as well.
Any advice? I feel like I've searched everywhere. I don't know what the next step to take is. Maybe Flash Stock + Unroot option on the NRToolkit? Have I somehow flashed incompatible zip files?

UPDATE: I got the gapps to install successfully. I installed Wifi File Explorer through NRToolkit in order to transfer files to my phone. And transferred the same exact file to my phone. I tried flashing the file and it worked... I'm guessing the wired transfer corrupted the file somehow. Thank you NRT for that option to install apks.

Hi,
Good to know that you managed to get it working . Could you add a [SOLVED] tag on the title of your thread?
Also, I'd like to point out that when you tried to copy the backup file via adb sideload it had a reason to not work! Adb sideload was born to flash zips which are transfered via adb to the device. Loading then as soon as they are loaded. To copy the files back to your device using adb you should have used the "adb push" command, which is like a "copy/paste" on the shell . Hope this helps in the future.

Ah of course that makes sense. I think I tried just pushing the file when I was in the bootloader as well, but it also gave me devices not found. Not sure why, but anyways thanks for the reply. Hopefully this might help out someone.

Hi,
In bootloader you mean fastboot right? If so, you can't use adb on this mode. To push a file via fastboot is only the stock image using "fastboot install" or "fastboot boot".

Hi,
If you're stuck in fastboot you can flash a recovery or use the "fastboot boot" to boot in recovery and then use adb push from there .

Files all courupted

With stock recovery you can't use adb sideload in windows 10.
If you're unlocked i would flash Codeworkx TWRP, download the OOS 5.0.1 Full Rom Zip, boot into TWRP, copy the zip to your phone or sideload the zip.
If you're not unlocked (and thus being unable to flash twrp) use windows 7 and sideload the zip.
You can download ADB drivers here

Can you boot? Turn on USB debugging , make sure that you allow the device when booted.
Do an advanced devices when in the OS make sure it's there.
Then you can install a TWRP recovery and do what you need to.

Hi bro, I am unlocked ! I mange to find a win7 pc. I ran both commands “adb devices” and “Fastboot devices”
Both shows me my devices number hence drivers are working fine.
Now do I flash twrp and sidleload? Because I can’t sideload in stock “error: *cant read zip*”. Do advice me!
PS: can boot into OS, no OS in system only recovery . USB debugging was on before boot loop happens! Thanks for all advices !

be sure your bootloader is unlocked
turn your phone into fastboot
open command prompt to the folder your twrp is in.
rename the twrp image file to recovery.img
do the following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that boot into recovery
press adb sideload
on the computer, open command prompt to the folder where your zip file is in.
rename the rom zip file to rom.zip
do the following command: adb sideload rom.zip
done!

Thanks bro, I shall update you on the situation once I done, at work now.

be sure your bootloader is unlocked
turn your phone into fastboot
open command prompt to the folder your twrp is in.
rename the twrp image file to recovery.img
do the following command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that boot into recovery
press adb sideload
on the computer, open command prompt to the folder where your zip file is in.
rename the rom zip file to rom.zip
do the following command: adb sideload rom.zip
done!

nice good to hear!
haha, well tourists like Amsterdam so do visit that and visit The Hague/Scheveningen. I like these 3 places the most I think. Look up TripAdvisor for good attractions once you're there. do visit 'The Amsterdam Dungeon' don't miss that, I liked it very very much!

how to install the drivers?

With stock recovery you can't use adb sideload in windows 10.
If you're unlocked i would flash Codeworkx TWRP, download the OOS 5.0.1 Full Rom Zip, boot into TWRP, copy the zip to your phone or sideload the zip.
If you're not unlocked (and thus being unable to flash twrp) use windows 7 and sideload the zip.
You can download ADB drivers here

Cannot adb to the phone in FASTBOOT. adb devices shows nothing when in FASTBOOT, but shows the device when in normal boot.
Hence I cannot upgrade TWRP from 3.2.1-1 to 3.2.3-0. Was trying this so to upgrade from beta23 to the beta 26, now 27 with which 3.2.1-1 seems to have problems.
A 2nd approach, just re-installing beta23 without Magisk18 gives the stock recovery which manages the beta27 install. But then I'm blocked from a Magisk18 install and still cannot use FASTBOOT mode to put TWRP back on.
Thought the adb drives could be old and sought new drivers, even assuming your link is to the most current I don't know how to get my Windows7 to use the zip file. Can you assist? This would let me put the latest TWRP, hence install Magisk18 and be rooted again!
