Recovery rebooting. Boot loop. Soft brick? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rebooted my Note 3 that was updated to KK via Beans around May 1st, everything has been fine!
I rebooted (hotboot) on Friday and put the phone back in my pocket. Pulled the phone out of my pocket 2 minutes later, it says recovery rebooting. I can't get my phone past this screen. It will boot into download mode, but using CASUAL for OSX presents me with errors. I am beyond worried at this point.
Help?! Please?!

Problem With TWRP Recovery

Sometimes. When I Reboot Into Recovery Mood. To Flash A Rom. The Phone Reboots Then The TWRP Logo Comes On With The Blue Screen. Then It Just Stays There? Doesn't Load Into Recovery. But Sometimes It Does. But It Freeze More On TWPR Logo. And I Have To Bring The Battery Out. Put Back In. And Do It Again Then Goes Into Recovery It Self. Is There Something Wrong With My TWRP Recovery?? Any Ideas

That is a known problem with 2.6.0.0
You need to d/l 2.5.0.2
You can find the link in this forum.
Try this link for using with mobile Odin lite.

This link can be flashed using your version of TWRP.

EDIT: This seems to have been fixed in 2.6.1.0

Thankz man I appreciate it
So how do I flash this?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I don't know why there is a difference but I am using 2.6.0.0 and I experienced the freeze a couple of times. Which you only need to hold the power button until it reboots instead of pulling the battery. Since I started using my Extended Power Menu to boot into recovery that way I have not experienced a hang once. So it must be something with trying to cold boot into recovery, which I almost never do now.

Mobile Odin Lite should do the trick.

TWRP and I forgot that I shouldn't let it "fix" broken root.
I just used the basic guide on how to flash a factory image of 4.3 in smaller pieces with fastboot, skipping userdata (so I could keep mine), and then sideloaded the two KRT OTA followed by flashing SuperSU 1.75. I did all that in one go, on my second Nexus 7, before booting it the first time.

1st Make sure you are on the latest twrp. 2nd it would be easier just to flash a stock ROM in recovery instead of flashing the factory images.. Is there a particular need for using the factory images or do u just want a working ROM?

Stuck in Recovery

Let me start off by saying I apologize if this is posted somewhere already.
Here's my situation. A couple days ago I lgflashed back to stock. All went well. I then rooted and installed TWRP. No issues at all. I didn't take an update, modify the stock ROM or even flash another ROM. Just ran stock rooted. Today, I pick my phone up, go to turn it on and I'm in recovery. No big deal, right? Well I can't get out of TWRP. My backups are still showing, but when I restore it and reboot the phone I'm right back in recovery.
I can't get into download mode either. Not sure what happened and everything was fine earlier in the day. Any thoughts?

I'm back up and running. I used this thread HERE and did the command through TWRP.
As long as you have a ROM on the phone, you should be good to go.

Mine is stuck in fastboot mode whenever I try to reboot it into recovery what files are missing? Anyone know why whenever I reboot it into recovery it boots fastboot instead? Any help would be much appreciated
If you stuck in fastboot mode. Just push
laf file through fastboot to your phone.

I'm so glad your back up and running again. I've been following your thread. And thanks for sharing the fix.
Does that mean that without your knowledge, your phone may have probably automatically updated itself (OTA) when you left your phone overnight? That's why you were stucked in recovery? Because it seems so odd that you didn't do anything wrong and it suddenly behaved that way. And I have read somewhere here that OTA just installed itself automatically without user intervention. So confusing if that did happen. How is that even possible?

I can only guess that it updated by itself. I really don't know what else it could be.

Issue returning to stock

Hi, guys, so I recently got a replacement for my GS4 and the model I got did not have functioning wifi.
I then left the country for a while so I was unable to send it in to be replaced.
I wasn't sure which firmware version was on the device before I tried fixing it.
I've tried all sorts of stuff, but I either get stuck on the ATT boot logo (wiping cache and factory reset did not fix it) or I run into the SW Rev Check Fail: fused: 5 Binary: 2 error.
Can someone please help?
Let me know what you need to help me out.
Thanks!!!
The fused 5 tells me you're on a newer firmware version. I'd flash the nb1 tar file in Odin. See the general forum for it

Okay, so I got the NB1 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223
The odin flash passed just fine - http://i.gyazo.com/59ba7f6a24a49d8e4af68f9c93914e34.png
On reboot, it hits the solid Samsung logo with a custom logo below it with the unlocked padlock.
Recovery won't boot, only download mode will, and it bootloops when trying to start up.
Further assistance required, please help!
Thanks!

Are you can't get into recovery? Factory reset in recovery should get you past the boot loop.

Okay, so I got into recovery, did a factory reset, wiped cache, rebooted, and now It boots to the samsung animation, then the ATT animation, but the ATT animation freezes half way and won't boot.
What do I do now?

Dead Nexus

I have searched and searched everywhere and could not find an answer. I even posted my situation in the q&a section and it just got lost in the thread.
Ok so here goes, i was running multirom with stock as my primary, and the L port as secondary. Ran for months no issues ever. I was going to give the phone to my wife so i was gonna wipe the phone and put it back to factory fresh.
I had the phone booted (running secondary L port) and attemted to boot into recovery. The phone rebooted and got stuck at the google logo with the lock at the bottom. So i rebooted phone into bootloader(fastboot) and scrolled to recovery and was met with the same outcome. Then i rebooted once more to fastboot and scrolled to start ans same logo again. Even from a fully powered down device trying to start phone normally i get the same logo.
So i decided to just flash factory images since i was gonna anyways(twice actually)with wugs toolkit. I recieved zero errors both times but you guessed it same result.
I even tried another battery and still same BS. Last night i decided to flash a JB image manually so i could see changes in bootloader ie radio,bootloader ver,recovery etc. Now bear in mind in fastboot it would not reboot bootloader by selecting it so i would have to power off device and then use button combo to get back into fastboot to flash the next file. I continued untill everything was complete followed by rebooting to os and still same [email protected]$$$ng logo. Please someone help.

Flash the factory image in fastboot, don't use wugs. If it still doesn't work you have a hardware problem.
