X-post from the noobies thread
While trying to install TWRP while I already had CWM, my phone is now in a boot loop at the Recovery Booting screen where "Recovery Booting" is at the top left in blue. I had been trying to install the GPE lollipop rom that was made for the spring galaxy s4. When I flashed TWRP from the app, it said it was successful. However, when it went to reboot it recovery it went into the boot loop. All help is appreciated, Thank You!
Edit: It now just stays at the Samsung Logo screen with the blue "Recovery Booting" at the top left.

It might be a little late but I had the same issue while attempting to mess with recoveries at work (no computer access). I managed to get my phone to boot by pulling the battery out and holding down the power, home, and volume down buttons while booting. When it gives you the custom OS warning press volume down to boot normally again. Hope this helps someone!
Now my problem is trying to get one recovery to boot when I get home. Wish me luck!

I have installed CyanogenMod on many devices before, and have never had as many issues as with the LG G2.
I was able to install CWM Recovery, and I used that to backup my existing ROM, and to Install CM-10.2, the build for the vs980.
After installing, and rebooting, I am getting stuck on an infinite boot screen. And I have no idea how to bot into recovery.
The default boot to recovery / factory reset screen is supposed to be, holding the power button until the LG Logo appears, then prelease, and hold again... This does not work, it just goes right back into trying to boot CM.
If I hold Power + Vol+, I enter some Firmware Update screen.
How would one enter CWM Recovery using only hardware? And how can I fix my infinite bootloop?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
**Edit**
I found out that I was going into this mode, and not recovery / factory reset... because I was still plugged in via USB... As soon as I unplugged, I was able to do this as expected.
Mod, please delete. I am unable, and I have solved my own problem.
After playing with the phone for a week now i have a recovery boot loop.
I can go into download mode, i have flashed a stock image, i have tried different bootloaders and modems... and nothing appears to be working.
When the phone starts up after a stock image flash from Odin, it just stays on the samsung logo and the "Recovery booting...." sign top left.
I cannot go into recovery at all.
I am literally and proverbially stuck and would greatly appreciate the help.
Alright then .... sending it in for repairs - lets see if KNOX 0x1 raises a red flag
So before TWRP was working like a charm and now i have found out it doesn't want to work. I power off my galaxy s4, press Vol Up + Home + Power, it shows the galaxy s4 screen and then The writing in the top left corner (Kernel not seandroid enforcing, recovery booting) The screen goes black and then it just doesn't show the TWRP screen logo, i let go of the buttons the phone vibrates and then it justs boots to android. I tried flashing twrp 3.0.2-0.img through Flashify, it said flashing successful but it does the same thing (black screen, no twrp logo then boots into android.)
Android is working completely fine though, Stock 5.0.1.
Help will be appreciated.
UPDATE : Flashing TWRP 2.8 did the trick
Hi all, so after trying to get rid of the FRP on my Galaxy S7 with Odin, I essentially bricked my phone and now it is stuck on a boot loop at first it was with the Samsung Logo screen, but I decided to screw up even more and now it is stuck on a boot loop that only displays "RECOVERY BOOTING" unable to get into the recovery it just sits there with the blue letters popping up. The files that I ended up flashing that bricked my phone were within this following thread just for reference. I was confused on what images to flash so I ended up flashing two of them a custom BOOT image and a RECOVERY image. Unable to succeed as the phone ended up on a boot loop. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

Try to reach odin download mode
Restart your phone using power home vol down and keep holding it until you reach the bootloader.
Hit OK to reach odin and flash Twrp version 3.2.2.0 hero2lte version.
Using odin 3.13 tick the ap box and flash the twrp recovery version 3.2.2.0 by pressing start.
Reach recovery by force starting power home vol down then immediately holding power home vol up to reach twrp.
even if you can't reach twrp you should be able to flash an official stock android os using the ap box in odin.
If your having bootloops it helps to flash only 1 check box at a time.
In short flash stock firmware then enable the oem unlock in developers options to disable the frp lock.
After flashing twrp-3.1.1-0-i9500.img.tar using odin the phone reboots but when I press the Volume up + home + power keys it gets stuck in the logo screen with blue text on top saying "recovery booting..." I've left the phone for 10 minutes so far and it still hasn't booted, powering it on works fine, the only way I have found to boot into recovery is if I power the phone normally and then do adb reboot recovery but that just boots into normal recovery mode and not TWRP. I've searched everywhere online and I can't find a solution, help!
