My Note 3 is stock Android 4.4.2, nothing special. It was working perfectly fine today, and this evening I decided to reboot it. Now it's stuck on the "T-Mobile 4G LTE" white screen. It flashes bright every few seconds and the rumble motor kicks, but that's it. I've got no idea what caused it.
Any suggestions?

So I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Sprint, which I rooted a couple of months ago and I haven't any problems with it until this morning. I woke and saw that sometime through the night my phone had rebooted and it was stuck on the Sprint logo screen. Naturally I took the battery out and tried restarting it. When it boots it goes through the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 logo screen, the the samsung logo scree, then sprint logo screen. It will stay on the sprint logo scree for a while then reboot. That will happen about three times then after that it won't reboot and just stay on the sprint logo screen. I've been looking all over the net on what to do and came up with nothing. Can anyone help me?
Check for the things you have made with it in the last few days

I have honestly done nothing to it but get on snapchat and text message. It doesn't boot fully for me to do anything to it.

Its not good to rooted it, it will void the warranty. The note 3 itself has tons of features. Try to hard reset the phone. When Power off press and hold power, home and vol up down key. It will go to hard reset booting screen. Or google it. It will wipe out all data and go back to factory reset condition. From setting Factory reset will not help I think.
If this doesn’t work try reinstalling the firmware.

IMHO is more likely a hardware problem with the emmc (flash memory).
You might also want to ask on the specific Sprint Note 3 forum:

I'm sorry I thought I was in the note 3 forum under Q&A
So, having loved my Note 3 for a long time, I am actually surprised- I have no clue how to fix this issue. When I turn the phone on, it appears as if it is stuck at the "Galaxy Note 3" logo- but you can see from the LEDs and hear from the speakers, the system has started and is running. My notifications and everything come through, but the screen continues to sit at the Galaxy Note 3 screen. Please, please help! How do I fix this issue?

Factory reset

Hi all. I have a rooted Galaxy S4 which, until recently, worked like a charm. Recently when I go to reboot, the phone does it's cycle, all the way down to the dimmed AT&T logo, but simply doesn't get to the lock screen.
2 days ago when I had this issue, on one occasion I put my phone in my pocket and about 5 minutes later I took it out and to my surprise it was on my lock screen.
Today, it ran out of battery and such, I haven't had such lucky flukes. I tried wiping the cache partition, taking out SD/SIM cards, trying to clear debris from the power button, etc. but nothing seems to work.
One particular thing I noticed while researching is that most people get stuck on the "SAMSUNG" logo, while I'm on the AT&T Logo. After being stuck on the AT&T logo for a while, pressing the power button causes the phone to vibrate for a little, and pressing it successively causes the phone to vibrate successively.
I know a factory reset will fix it, but I really don't feel like losing /all/ of my data.
Besides hoping for that lucky fluke again, I really don't know what to do. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
This was posted in the wrong location. It needed to be posted in the AT&T Galaxy S4 forums, not the International S4 forum. The people in the AT&T forums will be better able to assist you than we will.
The moderators will soon move this thread from the I9505 S4 forums to the AT&T S4 forums. In the meantime, take a look in the AT&T S4 forums as your question may have already been answered.
I'm fairly new to this, bear with me. I'll try to include lots of detail. If I'm asking or posting in the wrong area, just let me know. I've been trying to do this without any hand-holding, but it's been pretty frustrating and it's a lot to soak in and I think I probably got something wrong.
My S4 seems to be partially bricked.
I was given a retired S4. The phone is locked to Bell in Canada (It's an SGH-I337M, not a 9500 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4#Model_variants ). When it was given to me, it had Cyanogenmod 11 on it. The previous owner is techsavy and tried to unlock it, paid for several websites to give him codes, none worked and they refunded. This was when the S4 was new, he hadn't tried since.
I wanted to use it with Rogers. I was happy to just pay for an unlock code, but, it seemed I needed to be on the original firmware. So I learned how to use ODIN and downloaded Bell's original firmware. As suggested here: ( galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/ ) and I picked the Bell one ( stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS4/SGH-I337M/I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_BMC.zip ). It seemed that I needed to downgrade anyway to get most of the carrier unlocks to work. (In Canada, IIRC, there was no region lock, just carrier, but regardless it spent two years on a Bell plan).
When I finished using ODIN, successfully, the phone restarted but now appears to not complete booting or be able to flash a new ROM of any kind, at least by methods I've tried.
On powering up:
1 - "Samsung GALAXY S4" in curvy font.
2 - Blue swirly animation of Samsung.
3 - Do do do do doo dooooooooo, audio.
4 - Blue LED in top left stays lit.
5 - SAMSUNG in white on black screen stays there, pulsing with blue light occasionally.
6 - It stays here forever.
It never finishes booting, and it's a hell of a power draw the phone got hot after an hour.
When I try to boot into recovery, I get the blue text in the upper left, but it just reboots.
When I try to put it into download mode, I get a green warning about custom OS's, I can use volume up to agree or volume down to cancel. Either way, it just reboots.
If I try to power it down without pulling the battery, it just boots up, same loop as above, and stays there, pulsing the logo forever.
I can't get to any diagnostic screen, but maybe I'm trying the wrong ones or the wrong ways.
How badly did I mess up my phone?
I'd like to just use it as a camera even, if I can't get it to unlock so I can use Rogers, but it seems I've messed that up now too.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. If you need more detail, I'm happy to give it. (Sorry for bad links, new user, can't post links).
Download from Sammobile the stock rom for your model and flash it in download mode wit Odin

Don't worry you are fine. Just try to flash another stock rom.
Good evening guys and gals please bear with me as i'm new to this forum anywho i've recently replaced my screen on my galaxy s4 after attempting to replace just the shattered glass and failed! went to go power on the phone for the first time with the new screen and everything was great................................................................. for about 5 minutes the screen has freaked out big time on the odd occasion will display properly most of the time its just freaking out. Ive managed to do a factory reset using the android device manager and that seemed to help it out for 10 minutes until it returned to freaking out. Could this be software related? As it booted up fine before the freaking out and is still allowing me to use the touch screen as i can hear the phone unlock. Or should i be contacting the person i got the screen from asking for my money back? My phone was completely fine running wise until i had to change over the screen. i hope you guys canhelp me out as im stuck in a rut as to what to do
