[HELP] Boot loop I9505

My I9505 is in a boot loop after rooting it today.
The problem occurred when I was trying to NAND backup through CWM. When the process got to "/system" a very generic error appeared, just letting me know there was an error.
After that I decided to reboot from recovery and it was stuck on the Samsung logo
I can still get into recovery but I don't have the stock ROM.
Any help is appreciated.

did you try wiping data and cache then reboot?

You can download stock firmwares from sammobile.com

I haven't tried that, I'll try that now.
A very strange issue has happened since the boot loop. It actually booted but the status bar was the only thing to show. no apps were avaliable and the background was just black.

EDIT: on reboot after wiping data and cache it asks for root, then when you select yes or no nothing happens
the splash screen now freezes

[Q] Soft bricked SM-N9005...HELP

SM-N9005 is soft bricked, owner probably went OTA and interrupted the update now when you turn on the phone it goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo then loops from there. I tried to flash official stock firmware downloaded from Sammobile (N9005XXUEND6_N9005OLBEND1_XTC) and it passed the flash in ODIN 3.09 then the phone automatically reboots into stock recovery and tries to update package but from I keep getting:
E: Unable to verify whole file signature
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I have been flashing firmwares on older Samsung via ODIN and as far as I know after flashing via ODIN the firmware is already written in the phone and it doesn't need to reboot into recovery and flash the update again but in NOTE3 it does this and now I'm stuck.
I tried flashing PhilZ custom recovery and disabled signature verification but when I flash the stock firmware via ODIN it overwrites the custom recovery back to stock recovery and then gets stuck again in the verifying signature thing.
Any help and inputs would be greatly appreciated.

If you can get into recovery why not try to do a
"Factory Reset", it may solve your problems.
Good luck!

I tried to do a factory reset in stock recovery, tried wiping the Dalvik cache as well but the problem is still there it just stays on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen then turns off then turns back on and loops over and over.

Either nuke the phone via a totally fresh ODIN update or flash Philz recovery, when it loops on you, take out the battery, put it back in then go to recovery mode, wipe the usual dalvik/cache etc then boot up (it should in theory work) (and/or flash a custom ROM just to get it to boot properly)

Thanks for the input, the main issue why I need to flash the stock rom is because the phone doesn't boot and is looping in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen then vibrates as if it turns on again and goes into a loop...
Question is can I flash a custom rom over it for example there's no firnware loaded on the phone or the firmware loaded is corrupted?

You can flash a custom ROM yes, so long as you boot Into your custom recovery, do the wipes. Then installing a custom fw should work OK, once you've done that you can go back to stock or change custom fw without issues
I'm UBER Paranoid

The reason it wants to boot into recovery is to flash the csc. Make sure you get the correct firmware for your device and region from sammobile.com and odin again, let it do its thing. It sounds like the csc wasn't valid.

Bootloop error even after flashing stock rom with odin (G531H)

So, even after I flash the stock rom with odin, it starts then at setup a bunch of "this app has stopped working" errors and cant access the system, I even tried flashing a bunch of custom roms(through TWRP since I can use odin no problem) and they all get stuck on the logo(waited for an hour before flashing a different one) Dont know what to do.
After flashing the stock rom and accesing the stock recovery i get a "Unable to mount /efs Invalid comand" error
Has anyone faced a similar problem
EDIT: after about 20 mins, the boot logo animation gets really slow (for any custom rom) but it never gets passed that

I think you did some changes to your device that made the efs partition corrupt. I think the only thing you can do is take your device to Samsung to get it fixed. I am sure that the efs partition is causing the issues.

yeah, I figured as much

Hey, look
Install the official firmware (stock firmware) via Odin, then turn off your phone
Then, go to the stock recovery and wipe cash and data
And finally, turn on youe phone
If it doesn't boot up (stuck at bootloader)
Remove your battery and try again
You're welcome
