Download xposed-uninstall from xposed thread and flash to get rid of it. Make sure you download the right one for your device this time

I had Mint Jelly2.1 installed and everything was working fine.
it started when I had used the APK Hide It Pro. I was in the process of hiding videos and I noticed that my phone got rebooted and got stock in the Samsung boot up image with the Custom Lock image.
I tried nandroid restore, 2 images, but both also failed to restore / bootup.
I tried re-installing ROM and it was successful but during reboot, it will still get stock on the boot image.
Last step.
I used ODIN to restore the stock ROM and ODIN was able to install and reset. And my phone rebooted but still got stock on the Samsung Logo with CUstom Lock Screen.
What else can I do to fix this?
Thank you.
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset. I assume you now have 3e stock recovery because of ODIN. This might or might not help. If you have any questions about recovery, please use the search function for information. If for some reason you still have a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), try re-flashing an AT&T ROM and Kernel again. Everything you try is at your own risk. Good luck.

I had tried to restore/flash from recovery before ODIN and it all Failed.
Anyway, the last step ODIN restore and it was still stock at the Samsung Logo with Lock image.
I left the phone to charge the whole night and this morning when I turned it on, it was able to start properly with ODIN stock ROM.
I tried to go to recovery, and can only be done manually, and it was not the TWRP recovery but the stock one, with very small characters.
I tried to install Mint Jell2.1 right away but just reboots.
I realized that I might need to root it again and downloaded the Tool and re-loki'ed/rooted and installed TWRP.
Now, I am able to install Mint Jelly 2.1 and restoring all my apps.
I appreciate the comment.
Thank you.

Yeah, every single time I ODIN back to stock, I get stuck at the splash screen also. And rebooting to 3E (factory) recovery and "restore factory defaults" works great.

I am running out of options. I thought I am already out of this stuck on Samsung Logo with Custom Lock icon.
I had ODIN to stock I337UCUAMDL and reset, Ran Loki patch / installed TWRP, intermittently it will get stuck.
I flashed Shoshock 1.9, was able to reboot and setup basic settings.
I manually reboot to check if it was able to fix the problem, but no.
I am stuck again and don't know what is the next step for trouble shooting it.
any advise will be appreciated.
Thank you.
I got stuck to 1st boot image of Samsung with Lock Custom Icon.
I did format data/factory reset/clear cache/dalvik.. all of the wipe ootions.
I flashed a new ROM, successful, rebooted pass the logo and booted fine. I did not change any settings yet and I rebooted to check if it will get stuck again and sure after reboot, it got stuck again on the 1st image that shows up : Samsung Logo with the Lock Custom Icon.

I'd suggest doing a flash of the stock firmware via ODIN.

Tried that, still no luck
You can try via kies. Do not connect the phone yet. Pull the battery out and use the information you can see there. Ooen kies Go to upgrade settings and find the one that ask you for your model. Fill the blank, then enter your s/n. A window will show up asking you again. Accept. And kies is suppose to start dowloading the firmware. Make sure to conect the device in dowload mode before it finishs dowloading.
Im not saying it gonna work 100% for you but i had restore a couple samsung devices using this method.
I prefer odin btw.

Tried this, didnt work.
I've had the issue with being stuck on the boot screen before - and it was because I wasn't deleting my cache before flashing the new firmware. Do this from within recovery :good:

Flash an older modem with Odin, that should solve your poblem, look in my signature for available modems.

thanks for trying to assist. i was able to revive my phone using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39523753&postcount=4
Hey guys this has been very frustrating for me , I do not know what I am doing wrong
I unrooted my phone using Odin
I then install CWM from the App itself
I have an unlocked 1337m
I just cant seem to get any rom to work , I know how to flash them properly they all just hang at the boot screen. I tried SHOstock and that hung , I also tried OMEGA from the i9505 section and that hung at the same spot. The only successfully flashes were MIUI and some other random stock based rom. Did i miss a step ?
Thanks alot
Go back into recovery and do a factory reset, after odin you must do a factory reset.
Thank you

Thanks it worked I used another root program instead of odin
So guys, this is what I did:
1. Did full wipe/data/cache on CWM touch recovery
2. Flash MahDi Rom
3. Flash D802 patch
4. Flash GApps stock full 4.4
Then booted up succesfully but found out I have no root
5. So I flashed SuperSu 1.3
Booted up successfully again, but strangely, I couldn't connect to Playstore of even Google+, so I decided to re-setup my device.
6. I did Factory Reset, then the problem started. After I did the Factory Reset, the Android Robot (one with spinning thing in belly) just showing up for 20mins. I thought, it safe to hard reboot since it's only a "Factory Reset" but alas, after I reboot I'm stuck with LG Logo
Then after 20 mins, I'm stuck with the loading 4 circels after Google Logo on Mahdi until forever.
I can still see the Download Mode on my device but I'm not sure if restoring thru kdz is my only option now.
Any ideas what happened and the steps should I take to fix my device?
Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. I just like to update that my phone went okay when I open the LG tool and there's new software upgrade to Kitkat so that solve my problem.
I am on 6.0.1 CyanogenMod13. I haven't done a whole lot root-wise but just today I was looking to get something from xposed and it turned out I didn't even have it installed, so I downloaded it and installed it but needing to flash the .zip I tried to boot into TWRP recovery. Somehow it got uninstalled or something because I could only get into the LG stock screen asking if I wanted to wipe everything. So I tried to install TWRP using Flashify, I installed and on the reboot it gave me a "Can't Enter Recovery Or Update" and some more things about it on the top left above the boot logo. I can't do anything recovery-wise. I'm looking to sell my G2 but I want to make it stock or at least a clean install and I can't do any of that. What can I do??

This got me down to 4.4.2 but when trying to install TWRP it gives me the same Boot certification error and I can't
EDIT: I used AutoRec on 4.4.2 and I have TWRP working!
