This is for those who are getting contact boot loops on the Galaxy S4 logo
For those who are having a constant boot loop or stuck on the Galaxy S4 screen we (omariscal1019 and I) found a solution. After upgrading to MJA I started to try to get root working and ended up changing something that I shouldn't since it started to boot loop and get stuck on the Galaxy S4 logo.
I thought all was lost and put OctOS for now, waiting for the MJA tar to get posted, but omariscal1019 helped me out made a custom backup with Philz's Recovery in the TWRP format. I was able to successfully boot after restoring boot and system and then wiping data/cache (factory data reset). Here are the files omariscal1019 shared with me and we would like to share with the others in the same situation. I'll try to get more details in a bit up

Make sure to flash with Odin after getting your system to boot properly.
NOTE: This is for only those who can flash Phil'z recovery with Odin and successfully boot into that recovery to restore these backups. Use at your own risk and listen to what others say. We have confirmed that the system/boot works, but only by following the directions below. The modem and radio files are yet to be determined if they work...
Download the files and place them in TWRP/BACKUPS/110c8480 (not sure on the last folder name, that is what was in my TWRP backups folder). Inside that one (110c8480) place the 2013-10-31.21.01.21_JSS15J.L720VPUEMJA folder. So in the end you should have the following path: TWRP/BACKUPS/110c8480/2013-10-31.21.01.21_JSS15J.L720VPUEMJA.
One other reason on wanting to restore this system partition is this backup was taken after it was rooted. So after restoring this backup you will have a working root with no Knox messages Let me know if you have issues or questions
I just wanted to say a big thanks to omariscal1019, reverepats, and KelevrA_8. omariscal1019 for getting my the files to fix my phone, reverepats for letting us use some of his hosted space, and KelevrA_8 for finding the fix for the sound issues. Make sure you send your thanks to them.
Detailed Instructions

Here is a backup of the radio/modem files. I used Phil'z but I didn't do a TWRP backup this time I did a normal custom backup. I also did another one in the twrp format and I am uploading it now as well:
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/1WxPRFZFiP/2013-11-01.12.51.47_JSS15J.L720VPUEMJA.zip.html
Here is the TWRP version: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/Gchsi8LKq6/2013-11-01.MJA.modem-radio-TWRP.zip.html and a better file name for the other: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/bTakvZPpJ/2013-11-01.MJA.modem-radio-CWM.zip.html
This didn't fix me up. I tried anyway just to make sure but I can't get into recovery so that isn't an option for me.
I've updated the links on the first post, and added modem and radio zips
So if i'm understanding correctly this is a work-around for rooting without flipping Knox off?
So before i update to MJA here is what i think i have to do, pls correct me if i'm wrong.
(Im rooted on stock rom/bootloader MF9)
-Unroot and go back to stock
-Flash MJA
-Follow the instructions on this page to get back root
-Enjoy (Hopefully?)
It seems that i would never have to data wipe either so i can preserve most of my setting too!

[HOWTO] Flash provided recovery without ODIN with broken main recovery [HOWTO]
So after 20 minutes of fiddling with things, I figured out how to get the recovery flashed without having to have recovery installed or without ODIN.
You will need
(1) Rooted LTE device
(2) ROM Manager installed *get at App market*
(3) This file from poitee's post: http://www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0
(4) ES File Explorer (or any other file explorer, I just use ES) or USB connection.
(5) Patience
=---------=-------=
Start with a rooted tab. Download the Rom manager.
1) In the ROM Manager, click on Flash ClockworkMod recovery. It will ask you what device etc, select Galaxy Tab. Wait for it to flash so it says "Current recovery: ClockworkMod 4.0.0.4".
2) After it's done, scroll down and hit All Clockwork Mod recoveries. Select 4.0.03. Let it download it and flash it.
3) Unzip the recovery.zip and take the recovery.img file and place it on the tablet.
4) Either using ES File Explorer, or just using Windows Explorer with tablet plugged in, find folder called "clockworkmod" in the SDCard root.
5) Navigate to clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
There you will see some two files - recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-p7100.img and recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img
6) Delete recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img from that folder
7) Copy the recovery.img file from the ZIP above into this folder and rename it recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img
8) Go back to ROM Manager, and select Flash ClockworkMod recovery, select the tab and hit OK. It will flash 4.0.0.4.
9) Place your tablet into Airplane Mode (turn off Wifi/4G/3G)
10) Scroll down again, select All Clockwork Mod Recoveries, select 4.0.0.3, and hit OK. That will now flash the recovery we just replaced.
11) Exit out of the ROM manager.
12) Push power button, hit Reboot.
13) As soon the screen goes blank, hold power button+volume rocker up till you see the box or downloading.
14) Hit UP once so the box is selected.
15) Hit DOWN once so that it boots into CWM.
*updated* Thanks jimh1999 and ~Scott~ for updates and feedback after testing this. I was a little tired and did misspell the filenames
You are done
Success....Thank You for this, I was about to give up.
Notes,
~I had to put Tab in airplane mode after step 9
~I didn't leave Tab plugged in
~nand backup will work but no progress bars in CWM
~Rom Manager will alert of recovery update, just dont update recovery
~edit per Scott's post, name of file should be recovery-clockwork to match filename structure in the folder
Finally we have recovery on LTE Tab.
THANK YOU!
My notes:
- I also had to put it into airplane mode after step 9
- I tried to flash the new recovery.img and it failed so I rebooted the tablet at this point.
- I noticed the the first recovery was named recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-p7100.img so I changed recovery-clockworkmod-4.0.0.3-p7100.img to recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.3-p7100.img and flashed it with no issues.
Then I booted into CWM and noticed the progress bar issue during the backup.... but.... I BOOTED INTO RECOVERY!!
Thanks again!

Thanks to you and poitee for finding the solution. If you find any roms or kernals that work, please report back. Also can we flash the stock recovery back on this Tab?
I would still like to know why the CWM recovery would,nt work on the LTE version
First of all, let me say thanks for the effort and risk for eveyone involved. Now, please excuse my noobiness here, but is there a way in here to back up the stock rom before flashing/rooting? In other words, can I reverse this process to stock for returns/service?
I've seen how to reverse to stock the WiFi version, but this LTE is uncharted territory. Thanks!
My Galaxy LTE is bricked... Is there any way to just install the plain stock image back?
Mine was never rooted, so i'm kind of stuck, anyone have the stock recovery image?
Yep, I think what we need is the stock recovery image right? Anyone?

Can you elaborate on your instructions? I have done my fair share of ROM flashing and have used CWM for quite a while, but not sure about going back to stock on the recovery.
I accidentally used Rom Manager to flash "recovery" 4.004 to my LTE Tab and then it would no longer boot up (keeps going back to Samsung screen).
Can get to the screen to choose recovery or Odin. Then, I made it worse by flashing (with ODIN) what I thought was the correct stock image, and wound up putting the Wifi model on to it.
After quite a bit of reading (and kicking myself) ...
I have created a ODIN capable stock recovery image, and now I can get into stock recovery, but I need the rest of the LTE image to restore my unit. Can anyone make a dump of the factory stuff (other than the data) ? Heck even if I can get it working on just Wifi for now, that would be ok until the LTE image surfaces.
I really don't want to try to return it since I have only had it for 2 days and it would be pretty obvious that I had messed with it.
Thanks. I can make

Can you boot into android? If so I can give you the instructions to get the stock recovery back on via command line or mattj949 can post his Odin file.
I wound up returning and exchanging, but I still want to back it up in case it happens again....
However, I did make a fully working CWM ODIN flashable (for LTE Tab), however, not sure how to post it here. I left it on my office PC, will figure out how to post tomorrow.
Bricked?
Im having the same problem with rooting then using clockwork to flash recovery 4.0.0.4. Now Im stuck with the Galaxy Tab boot screen then to black then the boot screen and to black continuously.
I can access Odin but my computer doesn't recognize the Tab and never has. When I plug it in I hear the computer recognize it but gives a different sound doesn't see it. ???
Can anyone help me get this thing booted again.
Thanks
[GT-P6800][3g]Deodexed&Zip-aligned System Apks (cwm update.zip) & System Bar Mod
Hi,
Deodex / zip alignment of the system/framework apks taken from Stock firmware:
From [ZSLA2] firmware. (apps / framework). tested working for this firmware but may work on others.
Again these are just the deodexed versions of the apps already on your system.
You are not changing anything kernel / csc / your data etc.
This is a cwm flashable zip.
Its in two parts. (join the zip files into one)
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cwv5ri52j850hbz
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qwjfkmdi7z5qepr
(make a cwm backup first - just in case)
Reboot to cwm recovery:
if you copied to internal memory - in cwm go to "install zip from sdcard"
if you copied to your external sdcard - install zip from internal sdcard.
(cwm labels the phone memory / sd card like this !!)
First boot will take approx 3~4 mins.
System Bar Mod - now part of power menu mod in another post.

Could it be the cause for the bootloop?

cool - if its not too much effort can manually copy over the apks from the zip into the /system/framework/ and into /system/app/ using adb. (first remove all files under those folders).
then wipe davik & wipe cache partition.
and reboot.
i have installed it on my tab so should work ok.
might need to reupload again
thanks again

ok i tried it again and worked fine so looks like a firmware incompatibilty issue.
would like to narrow the issue down.

all stock apks are in the original deodexed zip. just extract it from /system/framework/ and copy over.

MD5 did not match. Possibly a bad download.

Sorry dude.
Dont think I can get any more links up for a while. Will update when I can.
These were just meant for evaluation purposes only not anything more.
Hopefully I can sort it out soon.

I'm currently recovering a hard bricked GT-P6800 and have it revived via JTAG. ODIN is not permitting a factoryfs file to flash to the device but I have been successful in flashing all other zones (cache, hidden, param, zimage and recovery). Can some PLEASE do a factory data reset, then a backup in CWM and upload that backup for me to recover from?
Thanks!

how did u do a hard brick?
i have sucessfully used heimdall (linux) before to flash the factoryfs from the stock firmware. there is a download link somewhere.
also when trying a dd image of factoryfs /system partition using heimdall was not sucessful. so odin might be the same.
have u tried a stock factoryfs?
The unit was hard bricked with an invalid PIT and 10.1v firmware meant for a Tegra 2 unit. I'm very familiar with any/all flashing techniques and have tried to flash this zone with both ODIN, Heimdall and SPT Tool. It refuses to accept a factoryfs flash or a bootloader flash. I broke down a firmware and individually tar'd all files within it and they ALL flash except for factoryfs which fails at around 5-10% religiously. This is why I need a CWM backup or zip to flash/restore from. If you could PM the link to me that would be amazing as I understand you may not want it public. I'm sure you know within a backup (after a factory reset) there is no data to remain that would be your personal data so it's 100% safe. Once I am done, I will fully JTAG dump the first 1024MB of the EMMC chip to create a JTAG firmware backup as a secondary method of recovery when ODIN does not work...

sometimes i think its faster but i think this has to do with zip alignment as well.
for my browser, its pretty snappy. i do have flash/scripts turned to on demand as opposed to always on.
also i use a ad blocking hosts file.

Use CWM to recover it to your tab.
OK I tried to flash a custom kernel from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ it did flash but there is no changes in system tab, neither can I enable USB charging
hi.. first of all thank you very much for sharing the update that fast..
I want to flash this rom but I'm not sure if I have to do something in particular like flashing old recovery or something... I'm now on isi's cm9 with his custom recovery.

Just download the file, unzip it to your tab to folder clockworkmod, but in to recovery, do a backup of your current setup just in case, and than restore a backup of the file you downloaded.
Is this rooted?
It's v3.2 or v3.2.1 ?

just reporting that everything went fine. I'm now on 3.2.1 (not rooted).. thanks
Thanks Yanluk, I've been waiting for this.
I seem to be missing something though. your backup contains files for example "system.ext4.tar" when I boot into CWM and choose to restore the backup it says it cant find the system file, it seems to be expecting system.img.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I extracted it to clockworkmod/backup folder, same as the backup I made of my existing ROM.
The backup I made works just fine, and restores without a hitch, the backup I downloaded fails to restore properly due to the .ext4.tar vs .img files.
What I'm trying to figure out is, am I just doing it completely wrong, or is my version of CWM/ROM Manager somehow different.
Anyone keen to write a small guide? Especially coming from ISI's CM9 Rom? Keen to try.
.tar backup means it was created with CWM 5. CWM 4 can only handle .img backup.
So you should use CWM 5.
This backup works like a charm, but the baseband is not updated, it's still P7100BUKDF.

1- Make a backup of your current ROM.
2- Put the folder in the zip file in clockworkmod/backup folder
3- If you were on isi's 4.0.4 ICS, you should also have cwm 5.5.0.4, if not flash this build
4- Boot to cwm and restore from the new folder.
That's it. Enjoy

The radio remains the same as what you had on before flashing this. To update the radio we need the original OTA file from someone who has received the update. Instructions on how to get it has been posted here in previous posts.
All above is right. You need CWM 5.X.X.X
To root download first file from first post (tabrooteasy.zip) here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386545
Put on your tab and install with CWM.
Thanks makbil and Yanluk, much appreciated. Will test shortly. I was copying the folder to the Clockworkmod\Download folder. no wonder it wasn't working
This Rom is from CWM 4.0.0.4. Rom is Rootet.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nlr768ivhnz3v62/clockworkmod.zip
Easy way to root
It's easy to root the update, especially if you are coming from isi's ICS ROM.
I'm assuming you have already flashed the OTA update to 3.2.1.
1- Download this file from New and Easy way to ROOT and CWM 5.0.2.7 thread.
2- Copy Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip from that file to your device SD card.
3- Turn off tablet.
4- Boot into bootloader. (Power & Vol down buttons)
5- Go into fastboot. (You should see fastboot at the top left of your screen)
6- Connect to your PC.
7- fastboot boot recovery.img (Recovery 5.5.0.4 recommended). Wait, the tab will boot to recovery.
8- Install file Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip
9- Reboot
10- Done!
Now you should have root on your device.
Which is the recommended Baseband for the 3.2 update? I am still using the P7500XXKL3 version?

I am only just new and have been playing around with this custom rom stuff for a short while now, I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 on my I9305T. I have tried a few different Roms so far but they don't work. I tried just today "RevolutionaryS5-V3" it obviously went through the installation process but did not boot into it, just came up with the samsung default ( samsung S III GT- I9305T ) logo in white. It disappeared then came back looping that way.

Something went wrong while flashing rom or maybe the rom data is corrupt.
Bootloop means your device fails to boot if system data is corrupt by flashing rom
You had soft brick.
Reboot into recovery and restore the stock rom if you had nandroid backup.

Hey Piyush,
Initially I did try do a Backup using Titanium Backup app, first try I think there wasn't enough room on the internal HDD, so I tried on the external HDD which I thought had done so.. So when I came to this problem, the backup did not work.
Now at first before I rooted the phone. It was done by odin v1.85 and of course it did root. So I know it has superSU, but I can't get onto a stock rom for this phone because of my **** sat internet bandwidth and also a good site to download from. I tried the samsung-update site, but the 2 links don't allow me to finish the download. Do you know of any links that i can download the stock rom for my i9305T my phone was running android v4.3. The link I just stated was for v4.3.
Can you give me some advise on how or what I should do?

Wayne

I'm not sure if you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 or earlier. If the phone was running 4.3 then I'd install 4.3 or 4.4 to get stock recovery back. Then you can install a custom recovery. No need to root your phone for that.
Do you know a link that will take me to a compatible file for my GT-i9305T, I'm just not sure what to look out for. Also would you be able to give me a quick rundown/instructions on how to do this. Will I need odin, and which version will I need. Currently I have v1.85, that's what I used to start off. I really don't wanna brick this phone.

there you'll find the Kitkat DBT for i9305. Will work with your phone as well. In the OP you'll find instruction on how to install this version via odin. Odin is included in the zip.
After that you put your phone into download mode again and flash the preferred recovery via odin. But don't use TWRP 2.8.7.0 from their site. That build is broken and is getting fixed atm. Either use TWRP 2.8.5.0 or latest Philz Touch. If you decide to flash a custom ROM again, make sure you're in the right forum, e.g. i9305
Thanks heaps for your help so far maultasche, I will let you know how I go with this.

From backup I actually meant if you had cwm and you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom from the recovery itself.
If you are getting bootloop you can easily fix it by restoring the backup.
Search on the net about recovery from soft brick and bootloops.
Nandroid backups can atleast get your device in running condition.
If you have custom recovery backup your rom first then you can flash any desired rom.
One more thing if you had flashed custom rom do not factory reset your device,this may result in soft brick.
Hope that helps!
Is your device booting now??

Yes, I successfully got the phone to boot up and run. I used the I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file using the odin v3.09 and now it has asked the country and so on..
It was a bit daunting thinking if it was going to brick or fix the phone...
Thanks for your help, time and kindness for the files you gave me.
The next couple of days I will try attempt install Cyanogenmod 11. Will I need to use odin to install the recovery image, just like I did for the I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file?

You're welcome, glad it did help.
Yes, you need odin to flash the recovery again. No need to root your phone just to install the recovery, as mentioned. Then you can flash whatever ROM you'd like. One thing - although CM 11 still gets nightlies from time to time there is no maintainer left. He switched devices. If you encounter any issues which might be device related they probably won't get fixed.
Is sending pics on pc still an issue? Sorry, I wasn't online and I forgot to check the thread :/
HI Maultasche, so I have been looking at the" Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.6" rom and have been downloading the files for it, but i am not sure what the "changelog" file is for or what it does. The page - forum . xda-developers.com / galaxy-s3 / development-i9305 / rom-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2704828 . It tells me I need these Installation Files:- ROM , Gapps & Changelog. Do you know if i can install this Rom using
CWM v6.0.4.7?
Oh, and about the send pic question, I wanted to send you a pic of the odin mode screen from my phone, but the only thing I could see was the "insert image" button. But it wanted me to enter a URL for the picture. Whats the go there?

The change log file only shows what has been fixed and what has changed to previous builds. Nothing you need for the ROM
You only need the ROM, gapps and the recovery. Use the recovery rodman has mentioned in his post.

Hi maultasche, Can you help me with this, I have my wife's phone which is a S3 i9305 as well. The USB connection on the phone has been damaged and so the cable can't be connected. I was wondering if I could still install the ROM without the use of a PC. Can you tell me the best software I could do this with? Also I am not sure the best way to back up the phone, not wanting to root it.
Regards,
Wayne
hi,
what ROM youre talking about? Official firmware? If you have a flashable zip yo could do that with flashfire, flashify, rashr etc. Or via custom recovery. For a custom recovery is no root needed.
As for backups depending on what you want to backup (whole system including data etc. or just apps with apps data). Without root your backup options are kind of limited. You can backup apps and app data via helium but not every app can be backed up using this tool. You could do a back up via adb but not sure how complete such a backup will be. I never did that. Or a backup with a custom recovery again. Might be the easiest way.
I would install KITKAT on my Galaxy S i9000 using the TWRP recovery.

I will choose the ROM later.
Now I have already choosed the procedure to save EFS files.
Now I'm choosing what type of recovery use.
I repeat: I would use TWRP but my smartphone does not appear in the list of supported devices.
On the contrary, in all the guides TWRP is indicated as an alternative to CWR.
Original TWRP is not available for i9000.
BUT: The CodeROM-Team managed to make it running onto i9000. Therefore, you need to extract TWRP from their ROM, convert it to an Imagefile and upload it with ODIN. This works!
Hello, I would like to also do this as stated in the OP. The image in the kernel.tar, that's what I have to flash the i9000 with Odin? Do I have twrp recovery then in the i9000?

I downloaded the attached kernel attachment and flashed it with Odin. After doing this, the phone booted up in TWRP 2.8.7.0, but deleted the stock ROM. That's not all, I cannot do anything anymore with the phone, because the phone gives error with every ROM I try to install: "Unable to mount '/system'" and "Unable to mount '/data'". The phone does not boot in download mode either.
The big question is now, how to solve these errors? Can anyone help?

It seems that this Recovery with CWM does not support any other ROMs than CodeROM . Had the same problem lately, but in my case I expected it to be due to the fact that i changed the Filesystem of /system and /data to F2FS, but apparently that was not the main cause. (By the way- don't do that. It took me 2 days to get it back to EXT again).
The only way to solve it was to flash a complete Stock ROM with ODIN (I had to do it twice until everything was working again), using the files you'll find in the Stock-Rom-DB. I used this ones (sorry, no link atm, but you'll find it easily):

Luckily this did not affectet the area where the phones special data is located (IMEI and so on, donnot remeber the correct name for that).
I'm now back onto latest official CM10, because newer releases had quite a few issues, especialy bad connectivity (dont know why). With android 4.4.4 everything is working perfectly again.
Hope that helps to fix the problems my file did!

I'm now back onto latest official CM10, because newer releases had quite a few issues, especialy bad connectivity (dont know why). With android 4.4.4 everything is working perfectly again.
Hope that helps to fix the problems my file did!

> The phone does not boot in download mode either
Did not see that before. I never had such an issue. Try it again, but do not push the power button more than 10 seconds, else the phone reboots again and again.
Sometimes, Download mode works even thought you cannot see anything on screen. try to connect the device to your PC and launch ODIN, you'll see if it can connect.
Tnx for your reply Fragone. It took me a while, had to wait on a USB jig for me to get the phone in download mode.
Unfortunately I did format to f2fs, how did you get back to ext? As for the other files, I did get my hands on an original rom, but I have to go look for the files you mentioned and try it with those, as the stock rom does not boot either. If you have the links, I'd be much abliged. Right now I go to sleep, just got home from the graveyard shift.
So someone finally returned my i9000 to me after a few years of use and I'm looking to put a current ROM on it so I can use it as a test phone. I keep seeing TWRP as the custom recovery used for the new ROMs. And yet like umberto, I've found there's no official custom TWRP for this phone. I'm pretty familiar with using TWRP on all my other devices.
So back to the original question of this thread - is there a way to get TWRP on the phone? It looks like Fragone's suggestion isn't the right way to go? The only thing I could find in my thread searches was a suggestion to use Mackay's ROM to get 2.8.1.0 and then (theoretically) it's on there so you could move to other ROMs. Any help?

On the i9000, kernel & recovery share the same image, thus the recovery cannot be flashed separately. Therefore there is no i9000 on the TWRP site.
Yes, there are several kernels that feature TWRP, but you must be careful: kernel must be compatible with the ROM, otherwise, bootloop is result.

Thanks for this warning. I've flashed MacKay's ROM and am playing with it right now. I was planning on flashing OmniROM later using this same TWRP but I'm guessing I should read quite a bit more carefully with every ROM to see if they're compatible.

There should be no problem to change the ROM. Just mind that the kernel & recovery share the image. I was using Omni 4.4.4 by kasper_h and Mackay kernel with TWRP
