I've got T-Mobile's S4
after some tips from this forum i get such config:

moonshine s-off
cid-111111111
hboot 2.15
radio 1.20
twrp 2.6.3

Problems:
stock JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13 after moonshine stopped working (black desktop, only upper status bar with clock and battery works) + bootloop
then i get SuperCID and install ViperOneS 3.0.0 (3.1.3)
everything goes fine, except of this Instruction: 7. Reboot and Enjoy :)
Adter reboot i get ViperOneS with black desktop and working upper status bar + bootloop
How can i fix constant bootloop?

Pull the boot and fastboot flash it with these commands
Code:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
if this doesn't work then try running a ruu

Thank you, it helps, but i get new problems :)
If i turn S-ON - stock firmware RUU works fine
But after moonshing and S-OFF on RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31 i get
- no pincode on simcard (phone doesn't detect sim)
- no network (obviously :)
and if i install RUU after this steps, i get bootloop :(

Problem update.

Yesterday i try many different manuals form this forum to get my one s back. The only thing i haven't try is debranding 4011000 to 4010000

Summary.
After s-off via moonshine or rumrunner or facepalm i get:
- s-off (i check it via uploading different hboot version) :)
- stock (ruu 2.35 3.14 3.16) or custom (viperones) - bootloop,phone doesn't react on insering simcard
