Just like in the title I had a rooted Verizion Samsung Galaxy S4. I didn't have anything custom from the root.I have a pattern password and sometimes I swipe too quick too many times and have to type my backup pin. I have my pin as 2568 and it wasn't accepting it and I was stupid and kept trying and forgot I had eraser after 10 tries on. After 10 tries it deleted everything and took me to the setup wizard and I went through it until it said "Software update" "Checking for updates" and now everything hasn't worked. I went into safe mode, I went into the recovery menu and reset everything, etc. now I don't even know what to try. PLEASE HELP:(:(
