help, phone does not boot.. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
so I've updated to 0E3 using Kies. The phone booted fine. Then I flashed CF Auto Root using Odin, phone booted fine, root was working. Then I wanted to flash TWRP, but accidently flashed CF Auto Root again. This time phone didn't boot, upoen booting it says unfortunately ... has closed, and so for all the apps, clock, touchwiz ui etc etc etc How can I get back into the phone? I've tried clearing dalvik and cache, it boots, says optimizing apps, but then same happens, unfortunately closed for all the apps

Reflash the rom you are on.
Otherwise factory reset.

Rebooting when installing an APP (Tranquility 3.6)

Hello,
I recently installed tranquility 3.6. I cleared the cache and installed via Rom Manager. I was running OTA 2.3.340 and the install went fine. I rebooted and had no bootloop or anything.
The phone booted fine and runs fine but I can no longer install any apps. I cleared the markets cache and all that and it still would not work.
I also cannot install any app through Astro manually.
When I cleared the cache it removed the Rom Manager recovery, since I can no longer access it.
My delima is I can no longer install anything to reinstall a new rom.
Now I would like to know if the System only 2.3.340 SBF will fix this or not. I read online going into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset would work as well.
I REALLY need this back working
I fixed this problem by booting into recovery and clearing data/factory reset and clearing the cache.

I did the same thing as the post above. Fixed everything for me
I think that's a common problem for Tranquility. I had to wipe and install it a few times to get everything working properly. No issues since then though.

had similar problems

i wasn't able to factory reset from recovery, however i was able to factory reset from inside Android which then booted it into recovery just fine (this was after SBF'ing the first time)
apparently doing a factory reset will fix tranq

[Q] Problems restoring a backup of the stock rom

I recently made a backup of my stock rom using TWRP, I then flashed cyanogenmod 12.1 and due some random reboots I wanted to restore my stock rom.. I went into TWRP, did a wipe on everything but the external sd card then restored the backup of the samsung rom boot, data, system. When it booted it said it was upgrading all the android apps then starting apps then all the apps it tried to start crashed and was left with a blank screen. Is there something you have to do, to be able to restore a stock rom after flashing cyanogen?
No, that should have worked, but I have seen that crash black screen after clearing caches in TWRP, I pulled the battery, booted again and it was fine

Wierd, yeah I tried a couple of reboots and it always crashes once it starts apps after a restore.
Try flashing a stock ROM with ODIN to get the phone back to 100% stock
Then root and flash TWRP again and see if you can restore the backup then, if not, try restoring the backup without restoring DATA which is where the apps are
If that works, you could use Titanium Backup to restore the DATA partition iirc, see if you can get around it that way

Help Needed, 'Teamwin' screen just flashes on and off

I recently updating cyanogen12 to cyanogen13. Things were running well but while running backup I ran out of memory.
Realised I want installing lots of old apps I no longer used so thought I would factory reset and start again!!! Found out the hard way that this is not the done thing.
Now my phone starts to boot into recovery and all that happens is the 'Teamwin' page just flashes on and off. Is there any way to get the phone back or have I bricked it?
Thank you for any assistance
Flash TWRP with ODIN again, see if it boots, if not, flash CM13 without wiping from TWRP and see if it boots then
Make sure you clear the caches from TWRP, might be an idea to wipe SYSTEM before flashing CM13 again too
As long as you don't wipe DATA or INTERNAL STORAGE, you're apps etc will remain

9005 Rooted but keeps crashing

Dear all
SM-N9005 running stock 5.0. Initially tried CWM n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125) but couldn't get phone to boot.
Then tried rooting with twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar. Successful root but phone kept freezing and crashing.
Went back to stock 5.0 (via ODIN and also again with smart switch)
Now phone keeps freezing and crashing. Sometimes make a loud buzzing noise when it freezes.
Don't know what to do next. Any ideas please?
After flashing back to stock, did you perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time?
Not initially. But i have since. Didn't stop the crashing.
I should add that as the phone rebooted it kept freezing as apps were initialized. So i persisted in restating. Initialized apps didn't need to be re-initialized so each time the phone started the number of apps to re-initialize was less. Eventually the phone reached setup, crashing along the way.
Should i now reflash, then factory wipe then reboot just to be sure?
Some confusion here root is not recovery .
Sugest flashing a recovery and in mounts and storage Format .
System Data Cache .
Boot to download mode and flash stock rom via Odin .
Factory reset once it boots then at least you have clean firmware .

Phone won't boot? On NMJ32F

Went to reboot my phone after updating some apps via Google Play. I'm running stock NMJ32F. Now my phone isn't booting and is stuck on the boot animation. Let it sit for 10 min. I turn it off, then tried again a few minutes later and let it sit for another 10 min. I went into TWRP and cleared cache and let it try to boot for another few min, but it doesn't look like it will boot. Is there anyway to troubleshoot without flashing the image and losing all my stuff?
I already transferred all my internal storage, but setting up the phone again and changing all the settings of apps and the system is a tedious and time-consuming process.
If I were on another phone, I'd probably be running a custom ROM and could just reflash the ROM or kernel and then only have to change a few system settings.
EDIT: I flashed the full NMJ32F factory image and nothing was wiped! I just need to flash magisk and xposed again and I should be fine. Looks like everything was preserved. Hooray!

If you only flash System, Boot and Vendor partitions are fine.
If trying to recover always try a dirty flash and clean the cache.
Also make a backup in TWRP so you can recover without losing data.
When I have TWRP, I usually backup once a week and keep the last backup.
This allows recovery with no more than a weeks worth of data lost.
