I think i wrecked my phone. Need help ASAP - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so today was my first time trying to root and put a rom on my phone, rooting worked out great. but I tried using flashify to load a rom (slimbean) on my i337 S4 now whenever it boots it sometimes shows a grey bar with 2 shades of grey and/or the samsun galaxy s4 logo with "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" on the top left and then the screen cuts straight to black and it appears that my phone is turned off. Happens every time, how can i fix this?

That's because you probably can't flash that rom.
You need to look up information about safestrap in the section for you phone, the i337.
If you want to get your phone working again, just flash a stock rom.

Goes into ODIN mode after flashing Hyperdrive with Safestrap

In advance, I normally try to fix problems myself thus I dont post much, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area. I have already spent about three hours researching and trying to figure this out.
I've gotten sick of the loads of Verizon bloatware slowing down my phone, so I finally pulled the trigger to try safestrap. I'm using the ME7 build so that was the only option.
Safestrap installed without a problem. I flashed Hyperdrive successfully, but the ME7 modules available here would fail to flash even after I checked the MD5. I flashed from another source here successfully.
After all of this, when I boot the phone into that module, it will go to a black screen after the "safestrap enabled" logo. After about a minute, the phone will vibrate, show the Samsung logo, and then go into ODIN download mode.
The only thing I can do now is hold the volume down during start up. This loads a warning about how installing a custom OS will catch your phone on fire with a continue option (which results in the ODIN block), or a Cancel option (that restarts the phone and shows the safestrap logo before going to the black screen etc.) From this I can change the boot default to the stock OS if I choose, but I still cant use Hyperdrive. I have already tried deleting the ROM slot and starting over, but that didnt help.
Thank you so much for the help!
Edit: I tried bonestock and just got a black screen.
Edit 2: I also tried google edition and it would go to a black screen, restart, and loop again.

Need assistance with Boot Loops

Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.

If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.

Galaxy S4 i9515 wont boot after LCD replacment

Hi,so i replaced LCD in my I9515, I've been doing this with youtube tutorial. Before 1-2 weeks ago my phone boot normally but i couldnt see anything due to broken LCD. In store, guy took my battery and connected it to a naked motherboard and lcd to see if it's working. After replacment when i try to boot it's stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and wont boot further. I can go into download mode, computer and odin are seeing connected phone, but i cannot boot into recovery it's just showing blue "booting recovery" and nothing happening. When I charging it, the grey battery pops out, but when i unplug it the battery is still there like it's still connected. Sometimes when i try to turn it off when it's stuck on galaxy s4 logo it's turning off then on by itself like 2 or 3 times. Any ideas how to fix it? It's hardware or software problem? In a minutes i'll try to flash stock soft from sammobile. Phone was never rooted and no custom roms were installed.
Thanks for all help.
EDIT Flashing with ODIN not solved the problem
EDIT Now phone doesnt show battery when connected just one vibrate and screen is blank, and when i try to boot it while connected it's just vibrating and still black screen. When it was connected to pc it was vibrating every 2 seconds. When I try to boot it's by itself trying to boot recovery but it's not booting and blue "recovery booting" just hang on top of screen and nothing happening.
EDIT After restarting it from download mode it's get back to the problem i had in the beggining
EDIT Just flashed 4-files soft with PIT and nothing changed
I think the screen may not have been replaced properly.
And motherboard is broken now ? I think i did everything right.
There might be a short circuit somewhere. I can't tell you exactly.
So the best option now it's tech look at it?

Yes. Unless you have some tech-savvy friends who could also look at it.

No Boot Animation and Screen is Always On

Hello,
I'm new here and new to all the android modding/flashing/etc stuff since I just transferred from iPhone 5 to Galaxy Grand Prime SM-530H
I've already done the basic rooting and flashing custom recovery and custom rom
Right now, I'm using PhilZ Touch Recovery since I can't seem to make TWRP work and I'm using Cyanogenmod 13.
Right now, The problem I have is that when I boot my phone up, right after the samsung logo where the boot animation is supposed to play, it's just black then after a while I can just press the power button to check if its already booted up. Another thing is that when I lock my device, The screen goes black but it stays on. I'm not sure if it's called the screen backlight or anything but it's the same as the black screen when my boot animation is supposed to play. This issue drains my battery so much when not in use.
I've used ResurrectionRemix custom ROM too and its the same case so I don't think its in the ROM. However, whenever I do boot my phone up, it says on the top right "Kernel is not SEAndroid. Enforcing" and whenever I boot to recovery, I get "Recovery is not SEAndroid. Enforcing". That's it.
Any help from you guys is appreciated. Thank you.
