I believe it went out on me cause all it does now is boot up, loads image file and shuts itself down. If anyone reads this please comment below if you know how to fix it k? Thanks.

Flash a new ROM.
As you can see my dates are a bit off. Ive done some searching and found others who have had the same issue. No definite solutions or explanations have been provided. This is super frustrating. Not sure why its happening or how to fix it. Im running the latest twrp, before that I was running cwm with the same results. I just did a backup about an hour ago and i couldnt tell you which one it is. Any help would be much appreciated.
Idk it was like this on the sprint gs3 also with twrp. So I just name the backups myself with the date I backed up.

The TWRP source is messed up and no one cares to dig in and fix it. Just manually name your backups.
I'm using philztouch and have not noticed the problem. Also a cool feature of that recovery is that it says what rom it is in the title, so even if the date happens to be off, the file name will give away what backup it is.

That has been an issue for over a year I believe. All CWM and TWRP versions that I am aware of have it. One of the Android updates broke the date function from what I recall. Might have been Jellybean. Since you can just rename the backups to whatever you want I guess the priority is at the very bottom of the list.

I use twrp 2.5.0.2 on this device and do all my nands to external and name them what they are.

Try Dream TWRP I installed it and my BU dates have been correct.
Yeah. Some have said there's a setting that you can change to fix that. I've yet to find it.
I've been reading through other threads here on XDA about a common boot loop issue that N900T users are experiencing, but nowhere was it mentioned that the Canadian variant users had a similar problem, but I do.
I was wondering if there were any other SM-N90028 users out there that were stuck in a boot loop?
Here is my situation:
I have a Canadian SM-N900W8 (it is, also a Qualcomm LTE version) and I'm in a boot loop... it all started when I tried to restore a Stock-Rooted Rom with TWRP.
I can't, however get it out, and I've tried all of the versions of TWRP, I've also used odin like 30 times... nothing.
I successfully restored a Rooted stock ROM through TWRP, but it wasn't until I re-installed a factory un-rooted one that things got ugly..
So I was thinking about this and perhaps the cause of this is KNOX... since the first thing I did when I rooted my phone initially was uninstall KNOX and all of its files. I know these didn't carry over when I did a TWRP backup, which is perhaps why my restore of that backup worked the first time. The second time, I just went and downloaded everything stock and used Odin, and that's when the bootloop occurred.
if anyone knows of a way to solve this, I'd be forever grateful!
I really hope I will be able to fix this...
Not to sound.to xdaish...but dude seriously this topic.is all.over the n3 forums. Have a.look and you will find tons of info.
Also...good idea to.read prior to flashing..if you had you would have know not to restore with twrp since it causes bootloops.
Just trying to you some friendly advice.

Thank you, but I've read them all and most are regarding the n900t, I felt it appropriate to ask about the n900w8 variant.
Also, I know that would have been better, but it's too late for that now. I just thought I'd share my experiences here with this issue so that others will know better.
So I tried a different stock ROM, and with the latest version of Odin, but it still is in a boot loop.
However there is one difference; this time it will boot past the Samsung logo and into android, but then a window will pop up saying "Process system isn't responding" and ask me to wait for it to respond or close it. Regardless of what I select, it will end up rebooting seconds later.
In the very short time that everything stays booted for, I can access the two pull-down menus from the top, but selecting anything will yield me no results.
Perhaps this can tell us more about this issue?

Thanks! I checked it out and my phone is already set to those settings, so it didn't work, but I'm still trying!

First of all, thanks to all the guys who post on here and develop some of these great ROMs. I bought a Note 3 online that had a custom rom installed and no backup. The phone turned on and off and didn't work properly. Just reading these forums helped somebody who knew nothing about this stuff to somebody who was able to install the verizon stock back onto the phone, then root it, install safestrap and install two custom roms (jelly beans and lite). The phone works great with the exception of the following: when using the camera lines appear on the screen and show up sometimes on the pictures, secondly my gps is a little off and doesn't see exactly where I'm at and doesn't work properly. This is the same on both roms I boot from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Go back to stock and see if the problems persist. If so then it's the phone and not the rom.

The problem persists. I actually, read about disabling wifi and image stabilization and that's pretty much eliminated the lines when using the camera, but I can't figure out the issue with gps.
Download an app like gas status and see if that helps. Besides that just might be a defect.

So I could not get the phone to root (super user binary issue) and I installed that SetUID kernal and now my phone will not boot. Can someone please guide me to a fix. Thanks
Set uid kernel? What are you talking about? The sprint gs4 doesn't gave a kernel like that.

Crap I just realized that it is a T-mobile thing. Am I completely screwed now?...should have following my rule and read twice downloaded once.
If you did flash a kernel with that name, it would explain your boot problems.
Flash one for the Sprint S4 and all will be good.

Any of the appropriate kernels from the original development section will get you up and running. You'll just have to pick one for whatever rom you were one (4.3, 4.4, tw, aosp, etc)

How do I get into stock recovery? Tried up, mid, power. Just flashes the galaxy screen and turns off.
Ok so found out that I can get into recov with power plugged in. So battery is low. But now did fact reset and still galaxy screen the now just blue led black screen
ok so I am back running. installed mk2_stock02 from Dev page. Was able to get CWM booting and loaded the ROM from there. My next question, probably has been answered but this is where my problem started before. When I go to open the SuperSU I get an error saying there is no SU Binary installed....and then closes.
Install super su from market
