I have an ATT I337 SG4,
I had my phone on stock rom and ran the casual by AdamOutler and got root and twrp recovery,
Now today i did a factory restet, and booted up normally, and the custom logo appeared on the splash screen on boot.
So then today , i tried unlocking my sim (carrier unlocking) using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068
And it all worled out normally, after the last step, my phone went for a reboot but never booted up :(
Also i noticed that the custom and the unlock sign on the splash screen did not appear..
the phone was stuck on splash screen forever ,
So i booted onto recovery twrp, and did a full format..
and tried rebooting onto system again, when twrp told me an "your device does not seem to be rooted, do u want to install SuperSu"
My device was rooted before that reboot, so idk how did that come, neways, i said yes, and then i was stuck again on the splash screen,

Then i tried doing the same thing all over again but this time i chose not to install superSu when TWRP told me that i wasnt rooted ..
But the result was all the same..
The phone is still stuck on the booting "Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen" :(
Then i tried flashing a custom rom from my sd card, JellyBlast , and there was no change in result, the phone is still stuck on the splash screen.

I would be really greatful if someone cold help me out of this ...

Thanks :)

Did you wipe system and then reboot before flashing a rom? Have you tried to odin the stock Rom? That's probably your best bet at this point.

How do i reflash to complete stock using odin ?
I have the ATT s4
Ok, first never flash anything again until you understand Odin and how to return to stock.

Go to the development forum and look for Adam Outlers stock Odin package and follow the instructions there.

Okay, i flashed the ATT MD5 file via odin and there was no problem, i got a successfull PASS,
but the phone is yet stuck on the Samsung Galaxy s4 splash screen! :(

Is this because of the changes in the service mode for carrier unlocking it ?
:(

Go into recovery and do a factory reset

customary to thank the member for the help and let us know what actually solved the issue
