I was trying to install Wanamlite through TWRP, but I did a couple things wrong. I have flashed custom ROMS before, but I think I was just careless this time.
The things I did wrong are:
I installed the wrong kernel, I used this one KT747-TW-JB-4.1.2-ATT-05-31-2013.zip for the GS3.
I did not click "reboot" after install of the ROM and kernel, I held down the power button. Don't know what I was thinking!
I then tried the factory ROM through ODIN as discussed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573, everything in ODIN told me things were going smooth. Now when my phone tries to boot up it just vibrates every few seconds repeatedly with nothing displaying on the screen.
I thought my phone was supposed to boot right up after installation!! Any ideas?
It will be better to keep the discussion to this thread instead of the ODIN thread. However, here is a thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327226
...with a very similar issue to yours. If you definitely can't get into recovery (keep trying different key combinations and timing) and Odin doesn't work, you appear to be screwed at the moment. Maybe you can try some ADB options. You will need to search for information about it and there is no guarantee it will help you.
Unless something else surfaces, Jtag repair might be the only option. You can search for information about that as well. Good luck.

Thank you, I treid the button combinations but sadly I don't think that's the problem. I'll try some ADB options and look closely at some other threads. Looks like I'll have to reactivate my iPhone 5 until I get this problem sorted out! What a bummer!
so you're able to get into download mode but not recovery, correct?

Yes that's completely correct!
since you've already flashed back to stock via odin, i want you to try booting into recovery again. just to start from the beginning and cover all the bases.
pull the battery and wait a few seconds
reinsert the battery and immediately press the recovery combo: vol up + home + power (in that order). release just the power button as soon as your device vibrates while still holding down vol up and home.
if this does not get you into recovery initially, try the method a few more times and report back.
if this does get you into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and reboot.
Thank you for the thorough instructions. However, it did not work. I tried 12 times with no success.
Phone just kept vibrating every few seconds and would not go into recovery.
until we find out a little bit more about this issue, i personally dont have much advise to offer. are you familiar with adb?
scott14719 linked a thread pertaining to your issue. i'm sure you read it and see that you're the only one in this situation.
i will continue to do some research.
Isn't there a Kies emergency recovery or something. Just putting it out there.

Yep, but kies has to recognize the phone, which is hit and miss. If kies recognizes the phone, it would be worth a try.
Try to flash your carrier rom again using odin. Download links can be found here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ once you get the PASS in odin your phone may still be stuck in a bootloop. As xBeerdroiDx mentioned , try removing the battery then go into recovery and restore to factory settings. I had the same problem with twrp ,I was stuck in a bootloop , no restore , no boot nothing. My phone is working now thank god.
Try this and report back

I also found an old thread on XDA suggesting that it could be a hardware problem with your power button http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311660
I'm stuck on a bootloop on the Samsung custom screen and I can't get into recovery mode. I'm not exactly sure what happened because my it's my brothers phone he says he was clearing his cache. I looked around on the forums to see what to do but I got even more confused. I'm using a Mac, so would it be a bigger problem to fix it? If this was a waste of time and this was already posted before with an answer, feel free to delete it. Thank you.
**EDIT**
I just got it into recovery mode, any help is wanted, thank you.
Is the phone stock? Is it rooted? I have no idea what recovery (stock or custom) you're running. Need more details
Are you trying the 3 button combo to get into recovery?
Hold power +home+vol up. When the blue text in the upper corner shows, release power and continue to hold home+vol up.

I was trying to root my Galaxy Note 3, KitKat, SM-N900T with Odin 3.9. Everything went fine and I got the PASS! message. I disconnect the phone and I expected the automatic booting. That never happened. The screen started to flash the RECOVERING ROOTING (blue), RECOVERING IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red) and SET WARRANTY BIT : RECOVERY(yellow). Nothing that I did after that worked to get rid of those messages. I wonder if my new phone is bricked now or if I have a chance of recover it. Taking the battery out and putting in again plus holding all the buttons doesn't stop the messages from flashing. Please help!

Thank you for the suggestion but no idea how to do it with a phone stuck in the booting screen. Any help on how to get rid of it? Once that is done then I can proceed with your steps.
Take the battery out, put back in (dont turn back on)and hold volume up, home and power button. It'll take you into download mode.
Then flash your stock ROM via Odin

I tried that many times. It doesn't take me to the download mode but again to the screen I mentioned. Frustrating!..
It just keeps bootlooping you mean?
Keep trying to get into download mode, might be that you're catching the power button first and powering the phone back on.
Can you get into recovery ? Volume down and power/home button.
You should be able to get to one of them at least

Try this.
Remove and put battery back in, don't power on.
Hold Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message comes up then let go of the buttons. Finally press Vol Up only and you'll be in download mode. Connect phone to usb.
Flash this CF Auto root courtesy of Chainfire thru odin. Not sure if CF updated it for 4.4 but one poster said it worked for him on his Tmo.
Optionally flash a custom recovery cause you will have a stock recovery after rooting.
help me!
I had the same issue, I did as you said, but now I am stuck at RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit: recovery.
(it never shows the orange pirate rooting guy)
however, against all judgement I tried it with the sm9005 instead of the sm900t file and it passed into the orange pirate root guy, however it gets stuck at the boot logo, do you guys have any Idea what could be wrong?

I've got myself stuck a couple times... both times I booted into download mode and selected reboot phone... it worked both times. As stated in another reply, make sure you pull the battery then replace and make sure you are holding home/vol/power... and make sure you get the home/vol buttons before you press and hold power.

HI there, guys! I just read the whole thread and maybe you can help me also! I'm facing a less critical, but similar problem.
I use Omega ROM (Android 4.3 yet) and just after a reboot my device is stuck at boot animation forever. The only thing I did before rebooting was freeze S Finder using Titanium Backup (after it was enabled again because Samsung updated it a few days ago) and move some apps to SD Card using Clean Master.
The critical part is that I can't enter Recovery Mode to try to solve wiping caches because my Reactivation Lock feature is enabled, so I can't access it.
Is there anything I can do except from flashing stock ROM over Omega itself? I can't lose my files on internal storage. There are pretty important ones! =/

I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900V) that is stuck in a boot loop. I get "RECOVERY BOOTING" in blue at the top left corner of the screen. No combination of power, volume up, volume down, or home buttons have any effect. I've tried all combinations. I have to pull the battery to get it out of the boot loop. Any advice?

Were you running Safestrap and a custom ROM... or were you totally stock before the phone started bootlooping and did you try to flash anything through Odin or Safestrap before it started? What build version is your phone on (4.4.2, 4.4.4, etc...)? Can you still get into Odin mode?
If you could provide some information, it should help others to give you some suggestions.
If you were rooted and had Safestrap installed, then this thread might provide some useful information to help you get the phone out of the bootloop. If your situation is similar to the others in the linked thread and you think that flashing the NC2 Kernel might get you out of the bootloop... then you should be able to grab the NC2 kernel from Beanstown106’s thread here.
You should also check out Droidstyle's restore guide here, which should help you restore the phone back to factory stock if necessary.

Hey thanks for the help. I was running Safestrap and the leaked KitKat 4.4.2. There's not much more to say other than in my first post. It just kind of randomly starting happening. All recovery options are failing because I can't get any combination of button presses to register when it's first booting up. This means I can't get into odin mode, bootloader, recovery... anything.

If holding the volume down + home + power buttons all together doesn't work any more to boot the phone into download mode, then it might be worth trying a usb jig to see if it would force the phone into download mode. Here's a listing for a usb jig on eBay that is less than $5 and the seller seems to have good feedback. The listing says it should work on a Note 3. If you'd rather make your own usb jig, there are several guides on YouTube and xda on how to make one.
Before trying the jig... here's an idea to get the phone into download mode...(it probably won't work, but shouldn't hurt anything to try)-- Take the battery out of the phone, then with the micro usb cable plugged into the phone, hold the volume down button on the phone and plug the other end of usb cable into the computer. Hopefully that will turn the phone screen on and prompt you to hit the volume up button to enter download mode.
If you can't get into download mode, then you might see if the Verizon Repair Assistant or Kies Emergency Firmware Recovery would work to restore the phone while in bootloop. I read someone else's post where they said that when using the Repair Assistant, they accidentally updated their phone to 4.4.4, so you'll probably want to research that more before using it so you don't lose ability to root.
If none of these things work, then I can't think of any other ideas other than sending it to someone for jtag repair. Maybe someone else can chime in with some other suggestions.
@Toaplan,
If you haven't been able to fix your phone yet, I was thinking you may also want to check this unbrick thread: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54534374 ).

Hey mattnmag,
Thanks for all the suggestions! This phone isn't my daily driver and I haven't been able to try any of this yet. I'll let you know how I make out when I get a chance to try some of this out. Thanks!
I unplugged my wife's phone from its charger today and BAM boot loop occurs. No idea why. Of course she blames me cause I touched it and it breaks. Haha. So I tried pulling the battery no good. I attempted recovery mode and selected factory reset which after it did its reset the phone rebooted still in boot loop but now I cannot get into recovery mode. It just freezes or reboots when I attempt recovery mode. I just get the "recovery booting" message and then either phone reboots or it freezes. It is an AT&T SGH-i337 with lollipop on it. I spent about 4 hours sifting through XDA forums trying various methods using ODIN like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407443 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573080 but problem persists. At this point I could use a little help from the community. Maybe some down to earth help that can point me into the right direction or the right files to download and try. Currently I can put the phone into download mode and my computer recognizes it and ODIN sees it just fine. I've witnessed some crazy screen stuff like the matrix happening when I turn it on. Its weird. Sometimes when I turn it on and it sits at the Samsung Logo the background slowly turns green and gets all pixelated. It is very bizarre. Maybe that might tell you something. I'd really just like the stock rom back on whatever that may be. It was on stock but had been rooted using Kingroot a while back. At this point I'd prefer any rom, Kitkat or lollipop, CM I don't care. I just want the phone functioning.

Assume that you do not have any hardware issue.
Charge the phone.
First try the 10 sec methods to see whether you can go to recovery mode.
Press power button + home +volume up for 10 sec. when the phone vibrate release the power button but keep pressing the home and volume up until you see the recovery message.
If you can get into recovery but you can not revive the phone or you can not go into recovery at all, you need to flash the firmware via odin.
the only odin flashable firmware for lollipop phones are the kit-kat NB1 firmware cooked by Muniz_ri. You can get the file from here.
Muniz_ri cooked the firmware such a way that you can use towel root to root it.
Let see that fix your problem first.
