Yeah so I pretty much did the sa.e exactly thing to mine it's the same exact phone. When it happened I was stuck on the custom boot screen andystill am. I can get into odin ode and stock recovery But Odin is the only one that will recognize by usb. My comp, kies abd. Won't recognize it's plugged in and and will see the phone In sideload mode only but it won t read any Rom files or zips or apks so basically sd card or Odin have been the only things that work. No Safestrap and all of my phone functions are gone. Including my backup.just yesterday and it's been at least a month or researching yesterday I flashed a stock kernal it booted to custom screen then to stock splash screen you can hear AT&T intro music then it goes black. . I just paid for this phone out right because ex smashed my s4. Can't afford a new one or repair costs. I got this crappie replacement for now. If anybody k owe how to fix this!!!!*??? Please. Message bacK. and thanks for your post Blake Decker 1 first post I've found that al.ist is the same thing.
