Hello all,
Got myself into a slightly embarrassing situation today where my SGS4 I9505 will no longer boot. Hope some kind soul(s) can point me in the right direction.
I have had reasonable success in rooting and upgrading the ROM on my S4, but on the scale of things I would be classified as a noob. Knowing just enough to be dangerous!
So here is what I have. I have installed the TWRP v2.5.0.2. (I have tried to restore an old backup to back-paddle, but it said Restore Failed :-( ). I was on v12 of Omega ROM but it was slightly unstable (rebooting itself maybe once or twice a day) so I went to v13/v13.1, but found that I wasn't getting any mobile signal (I think I might have stuffed up the order of having to install the modem via ODIN first and then flashing the ROM). As I was impatient I reflashed back to v12 to restore my mobile function. All seemed fine until I took a photo and tried to do some editing in an app. It would hang whilst trying to save the image. I thought maybe the internal storage was corrupt and needed a reformat. I went into TWRP and selected WIPE -> FORMAT DATA. This is when things when off the rails. Since doing this operation, neither v12 of v13.1 of Omega is booting for me. V12 doesn't make it past the Samsung screen and reboots. V13.1 makes it to the Omega logo which is meant to start spinning, but it spins only for a fraction of a section, hangs and then reboots. So I am basically up the river without a paddle. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ray
