Have you tried flashing the supersu zip in Cwm?

If you're already rooted and twrp ask if you want to root just skip it.

If it won't boot, try going to recovery and wiping the cache and dalvik cache.

Everytime I try to flash any rom I either get boot looped or just sits on the S4 screen .. idk wth is going on :/

I recently try to flash unwizard newest one and it just boots me back into recovery.

Which phone do you have? Are you doing a full wipe in recovery before installing the rom?

I have the Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S4 .. I used to change ROMs all the time on my s3 but seems when i do it with my s4 it messes up .. yes i full wipe every time :/

Try wiping cache and dalvik. Have you tried downloading again? Maybe a bad download?

RobDizz · Aug 19, 2013

Yeah it's done this with multiple ROMs I had got lucky once and flash Alpha 6.0 but when 7.0 came i try to get it and it did it so i just restored my 6.0 and yes I wiped cache and dalvik :S i've never been so confused in my life

Which version of TWRP are you using? If you're using 2.6.0.0 try this flashable zip for TWRP 2.5.0.2. and see if it helps. Are you sure you're rooted?

RobDizz · Aug 19, 2013

I've did this step by step http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-g...w-install-twrp-recovery-root-install-rom.html idk if i'm allowed to post it but yet i'm using 2.5.0.2 I'm sure it's rooted

I'm stumped. :thinking:

I'm not sure what you might do different. Are you downloading the roms straight to your phone? If you are, try downloading to your computer and copy it to the phone.

RobDizz · Aug 19, 2013

No i always downloaded to my computer then pasted on my phone :SI'm stumped to bro

Sounds like a bad download.

Are you putting the rom files on your sd card? Have you tried putting them on internal storage and flashing from there?

RobDizz · Aug 20, 2013

Funny that you would say that last night I was thinking I keep flashing it from my SD card and it never works. So at 4am I tried it on my internal storage and it worked !

Great! Finally!

Try reformatting your sd card maybe.
