bro there is nothing to worry just go to the nearest service center & tell them you were updating your phone via KIES SOFTWARE of samsung but in between there was a power cut so update stoped in between & after that my phone was not starting ....thats it they would do the needful & repair your handset....hoping your phone will be in warranty...

@EthanDev : dude games like clash of clans and few others were showing huge framedrop and other performance bugs were there and also i was happy with my rooted 4.3 jb, thats why i tried that
@grohitsurana: yes have done that only, gave my phone to the service center few hours ago, hope those guys make it work again

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

Pull the battery for 10 sec and put it back. Then press and hold power+volumedown inorder to reach download mode. Then flash the stock rom again via odin.

WHAT???? don't understand what you just said..
Provide all info before asking help multiple times on the same problem.
Which model exactly ? I9500 or I9505 ?
Which type of brick ? stuck in bootloop or what ?
Can you enter the download mode ?
Before flash random firmware have you try using Kies and the Emergency Firmware Recovery ?

Kies 3 restore doesn't work.... It's incompatible with the new bootloaders... Wish people would stop giving oout this USELESS information...
If you were on any of the N**(NB4) roms ie Kitkat, you can't go back to the older jellybean roms ie m**(MJ7).
You will have this problem. Just reflash a kitkat rom onto your Note 3 and you'll be fine...

Actually, as he has installed MJ7 on his phone Kies no longer works... My "opinion" is fact...
If you can't stand being corrected because you're wrong then mate, you have a problem... Maybe you should start to read the thread before replying with pointless and useless information....

Jellybean? What is your mobile model? Anyway i think it's corrupted now. You have to go back on stock firmware. Flash a stock firmware through odin. Then you can flash lollipop again. Go to sammobile.com, make an account and download a firmware for your mobile.

Thanx
If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
