So here's the story.
I have a Note 3 I acquired that was in pretty rough shape. According to the person that gave it to me, they had tried to flash a rom that was unstable and crashed the device causing a boot loop he couldn't recover from. So he reported it lost and got a new one.
The first thing I tried was installing stock firmware using odin. This at least allowed the phone to fully boot up. But, it would still restart after about 10 mins of usage. The next thing I tried was flashing TWRP on to the phone and doing a complete wipe of the phone. Then I flashed the stock firmware using odin.
This has brought the phone more or less back to a usable state. However, there are new problems.
The phone reboots at random. Usually after being on for an hour or longer. Also, the phone won't power down. When I long press the power button and select power off, the screen shows that it's powering down. The phone stays on the power down screen for about 2 mins then the phone reboots.
I've tried a factory reset and reflashing the stock firmware.

I had just finished flashing and configuring crash rom v19, when my phone suddenly powered off.
Now it's not the first time I flash a new rom to my note 3 by any means, but this is a first.
Now my phone won't power on if not plugged in, and even then it powers on for less than a second, long enough to see the battery charging picture or the note 3 logo.
Recovery won't boot, but download mode works flawlessly, I pulled out odin3 with the stock ROM for my sm-n9005, checked the regin was right and everything, and after flashing using odin all I got was my phone rebooting over and over again trying to access recovery, then it booted no problem to the samsung logo, played the tune and even showed me my lockscreen for a second, and it's back to rebooting itself every 3 seconds.
Anybody have any idea what I'm facing here?
Edit: First thing tomorrow morning I'm going to take it to a store to try a new battery
@E-Chan42.
You can try this out.
I am not sure will this fix your problem.
First, charge your phone for 3 hours. Second, hard reset your phone then flash Stock firmware using ODIN.

I've had my phone plugged in for a short while, but since it keeps vibrating, showing an empty battery picture turning off, vibrating and so on every second I'm not sure charging will actually difference to my issue, still thanks for the input and I'll give it a try.
Ohm....
Then I guess it must be a Battery issue.
Give it a shot. Let's see if that works.
Took it in to my retailer and samsung guy restored the original ROM with Odin just as I did, when it didn't work he sent it off under garantee, thanks for your help! I'll update when I get a word back!
hi...
I'm really desperate, my phone is suddenly dying and I have no idea why, I'll tell you from yesterday what has happened:
- I'm playing a stupid game and suddenly the screen goes black. No led, phone doesn't answer any button, nothing. I hold power button, nothing. Remove battery and put again, nothing. After some attempts phone turns on, but just after starting it reboots or stays frozen.
- I decide to change the rom (I had simpl rom), so I do a full wipe and put CM 12. It seems it works, but when I'm in the settings, at the beggining, I don't even have time to put the wifi, it starts rebooting again and/or not responding.
- Desperated, I install via odin the stock firmware from Sam Mobile. It seems it's gonna work, but when the dialog of "Android is upgrading -- Optimazitating app x of XX" it always gets stucked in a number, randomly. I never get to the 230 apps.
- As a last chance, I try Kies to install factory firmware. The same as before happens, but now it's only 17 the number of apps it tries to optimize.
These last 2 times, of course, I enter recovery from time to time (now the default one) and wipe cache partition.
My phone is agonizing, what the f is happening? Does anybody know what could happen?
Please help...
So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
I flashed Resurrection Remix a month ago in my 1GB ram variant, and everything was fine until, one day, when I was operating camera in my phone, the phone blacked out, and restarted, and when the screen showed pattern to unlock, and any attempt to unlock the phone would lead to immediate restart, and then after 4-5 attempts, the phone started to restart in frequent short intervals only showing android logo on the screen.
I decided to flash ROM again but this time stock ROM, but this phone has a great history of not entering into recovery mode no matter what I do. It enters only on its will. So, somehow I again flashed TWRP, and then tried flashing stock rom with QPST tool, but, when flashing finished, the phone as usually restarted, but only again to be stuck in boot loop. I again tried to flash it. But this time, after the full installation, the phone became dead. No matter what I do, the phone doesnt even turn on. No vibration, no lighting of screen, and even its not detecting on connecting to the PC.
What could be the problem? Anything related to hardware? Please help.
I suggest you to bring the phone to the service center

I think its hard bricked

Im so lost with this, im all stock but one day my phone just freezes then bootloop, I would be able to get it work by just leaving it and let it drain itself since it will be boot looping and lock me out completely, like the power button + low volume button would not work even after 10 minutes of holding it, would not boot to download or recovery mode, just the soft touch keys light on and the blue LED.
I reflashed my ROM from sammobile yesterday but did it half-effort, just dirty flashed it but it seemed to reformatted my phone anyway, after reflashing it, everything seemed to work properly for 20 hours and then now im back to this piece of ********* boot looping...
S7 Edge
running the Australia unbranded XSA-G935FXXS1DQG4 from the branded G935FXXS1DQG5,
would flashing de-branded affect this? or this is hardware?, one thing I did that I think was a mistake is that I chose to restore from old device, can apps cause this?
the very first time this happened, I plugged it in to charge then crash and bootloop.
UPDATE:
Things I've tried,
-Booting with NO sim card and SD Card
-Wiping cache and partition then reflashing stock XSA and OPS firmwares
im convinced that this is a hardware issue and will go to Samsung.
mine does this too. crashes then gets into a bootloop at the Samsung logo. I usually try holding the lock and volume down button. I factory reset the phone once but it still keeps happening, this started happening around 4 weeks ago
Guys your Main/Mother-boards are broken.. u need to replace it, or send back to Samsung..
Damn! Crash reboot samsung logo
Damn you say broken mother board...
did this. Press vol down, power button and home key...hmmm... i think...pressed so many combos hard to tell themapart
