Need assistance with Boot Loops - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I have a rooted Note 3 from verizon on the hyperdrive rom. today I got a message from SUbinary (something like that) that there was an update and that I need to reboot to update. So I just clicked okay and my phone restarted. However since then I'm stuck in a boot loop with the blue message in the upper left corner saying "recovery loading.." with the note 3 white logo appearing. Then the phone vibrates twice and comes back to the same screen. I don't see the custom/lock picture like I used too. I've tried multiple times to take the battery out but no luck. I can't seem to actually enter the recovery panel at all. I've tried holding the home/power/volume up but it just starts the boot loops again. Not sure what to do. I just want to the phone to work but it seems like a hard brick?

If you soft brick then u can only access download mode and if you hard brick then you need an expert. The problem is that verizon and at&t have locked bootloaders. Safestrap recovery is usually used there.
Can you reflash safestrap recovery via Odin ?
This link might be helpful cause im not so used to safestrap only know the basics.

If you cant access the recovery and only download mode then you have soft brick and need to reflash stock firmware.

Goes into ODIN mode after flashing Hyperdrive with Safestrap

In advance, I normally try to fix problems myself thus I dont post much, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong area. I have already spent about three hours researching and trying to figure this out.
I've gotten sick of the loads of Verizon bloatware slowing down my phone, so I finally pulled the trigger to try safestrap. I'm using the ME7 build so that was the only option.
Safestrap installed without a problem. I flashed Hyperdrive successfully, but the ME7 modules available here would fail to flash even after I checked the MD5. I flashed from another source here successfully.
After all of this, when I boot the phone into that module, it will go to a black screen after the "safestrap enabled" logo. After about a minute, the phone will vibrate, show the Samsung logo, and then go into ODIN download mode.
The only thing I can do now is hold the volume down during start up. This loads a warning about how installing a custom OS will catch your phone on fire with a continue option (which results in the ODIN block), or a Cancel option (that restarts the phone and shows the safestrap logo before going to the black screen etc.) From this I can change the boot default to the stock OS if I choose, but I still cant use Hyperdrive. I have already tried deleting the ROM slot and starting over, but that didnt help.
Thank you so much for the help!
Edit: I tried bonestock and just got a black screen.
Edit 2: I also tried google edition and it would go to a black screen, restart, and loop again.

Bricked my phone, need some help

Got a brand new vs980 from Verizon with stock OTA 24A on it. I rooted and then used the KITKAT 24A OTA FREEDOM file from this thread to try and install TWRP 2.7. It ran, asked me if I wanted to boot into recovery. I chose yes. It appeared to have worked fine. However, now my phone just gives me the ERROR: boot certification verify screen. I've tried to get into download mode, but it never makes it past the first screen (dots). It never makes it to the screen with the progress meter and the usb icon. It seems to be properly bricked. Is this thread my only hope?
C'mon guys, this is a crisis. On my way to work this morning i had to listen to the radio! Like, with commercials and stuff.
Any luck? My phone is doing the exact same thing. I can't get into download mode or fast boot. The LG sign pops up, the error flashes for less than a second in the upper left hand corner then the screen goes blank and does nothing else until I hold the power button for 10 seconds or power button + volume down key, then it just repeats the LG sign and message all over again. We're screwed brotha

Stuck on recovery booting

Hello,
Forgive me if i make any mistakes never had to do this before. i tried installing stock firmware on my rooted S5 i made sure it was the right firmware and such (i hope) so i tried putting the firmware onto my phone via odin i left it to do its thing once it did its thing it restarted the device and now its stuck on the samsung galaxy s5 logo and in the top left of the screen blue text saying "recovery booting...." and its stuck at this screen ive tried everything i can find around heres what ive tried.
Tried booting into recovery via the up volume home and power at once and it just keeps going back to that screen for ever ive tried removing the battery for abit and trying again ive plugged it into the pc and its not being reconised im running out of ideas and about to run around in circles on the floor lmao.
Sorry again if this is in the wrong place and such and any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks alot!
Simply, once you are stuck on galaxy s5 logo first time, go back to download mode, install the firmware again, should work!
No idea why but I have to install the firmware twice for it to work .. weird

HELP!!! My Galaxy S5 G900V doesn't enter NORMAL Recovery Mode!!! & Stuck in BootLoop!

HELP!!! My Galaxy S5 G900V doesn't enter NORMAL Recovery Mode!!! & Stuck in BootLoop!
I think its kinda soft brick!
:crying: Like the heading says! I am stuck in continuous Reboot LOOP!!!
And something strange about this problem!
Let me brief it out!
Firstly tried to install the latest Lollipop firmware USING ODIN v3.09 which is OG5 AND I SUCCEEDED with a PASS!
And then when I tried to restart , it got stuck in "Recovery Booting...." blue text on top left corner of the screen followed by CONTINUOUS BOOT-LOOP OF SAMSUNG SPLASH SCREEN! Not EVEN REACHING VERIZON Boot Animation which is followed by every 2 VIBRATIONS & interval of 5-10 seconds of each loop!!!
And one more thing is I cannot enter the NORMAL RECOVERY OPTION MENU! Instead I ONLY
GET "Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu" Which has 3 options
1 Normal Boot
2 Factory Reset
3 Safe mode Boot
But Sadly and STRANGELY I CANNOT GET THEM TO WORK EITHER!!! As soon as I PRESS HOME BUTTON AFTER SELECTING THE OPTION FROM ABOVE IT DOESN'T EXECUTE IT INSTEAD GETS OUT OF THE "Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu" & Continues WITH BOOT LOOP sometimes followed with Recovery booting text ! Which I believe happens when I Press Power and any of the Volume Buttons!
So I ALSO TRIED FLASHING THE OE1 Lollipop Verizon Update via ODIN WHICH ALSO PASSES WITHOUT FAIL! BUT AGAIN SAME RESULT WITH BOOTLOOP!
AND ANOTHER STRANGE THING IS THAT WHENEVER I PLUG IN THE BATTERY THE GREEN LED NOTIFICATION LIGHTS UP SOLID PERSISTENTLY WITHOUT BLINKING! UNTIL THE BATTERY IS REMOVED OUT OF THE PHONE!
SO I reallly dont know what the problem or fix to this issue! But I request you people to help me out as soon as possible!
FYI
I can BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE! I can BOOT INTO Maintenance Mode Recovery Menu!
I searched every forum regarding this issue but to no avail!
THANK YOU!

Sm-g900f (uk) galaxy s5 - arrgghhhhh

Can anyone PLEASE help??
My partner opted to do a suggested update on her S5, but didn't notice the wifi was off. The phone seemed to have done the update, but shortly after it rebooted itself, then again, then again. The frequency of reboot got quicker and quicker and now it loops between the Galaxy S5 splash screen and the SAMSUNG logo, but doesn't go any further.
I managed to boot the phone into reset mode, cleared the cache and then did a factory reset, but that did nothing to prevent the boot loop.
I then downloaded Odin (ver 10.3.7) and what I believed to be the correct firmware (G900FXXS1CPLV_G900FVFR1CPJ1_G900FXXU1CPIW_HOME.tar.md5).
Having checked the battery was charged, I followed the instructions of connecting the phone via USB, loading the md5 in the AP, checking Auto Reboot and F-Set time in the options and clicking the Odin Start button. I had removed the battery, replaced it and then booted it into the update mode (Power, Home, Volume Down, then volume up) with the screen confirming I was in the right place (....do not unplug.... etc).
The file loaded, (green bar at top of the Odin window on my PC) and Odin reported success. I then disconnected the phone, booted in recovery mode, reset the cache and then did a clear data, factory reset.
The same symptoms prevail, STUCK IN BOOT LOOP!!!!
The only thing different is that if I plug it into the USB on my PC, after a while the phone tries to turn itself on and goes into either a boot loop or freezes on the Galaxy S5 Splash screen or the SAMSUNG Logo.
I am charging another battery (just in case that is in some way to blame) and will try again to replace the firmware, but could I be missing something, do I need to do anything with PIT (I thought this was all taken care of by Odin using the MD5 file) or is there some other test I can perform that will show if the phone is fried???
MANY THANKS for looking!
ur going correct, try to reflash it again through odin and dont disconnect phone until it boots into system, it is taking some good time, so just wait and dont do anything this time like clearing anything or restoring. i hope ull get success.
THANKS - but...
Thanks Rayzen, I will try the whole thing again, but I think there is something more to this than a firmware fault!
There and gone again
OK, so on the 4th attempt I got the phone to take the firmware using Odin, it reported success and the phone rebooted itself (several times) and eventually appeared to boot to a new factory reset.
I put in a SIM card and entered my email and google account details and left it charging over night. This morning when I tried to use it, the screen froze and then it rebooted itself. Hey presto, the phone is back to square one with a boot loop.
ANYONE (please) got any suggestions?
THANKS
No one??
same here, same symptoms, same feeling.
when flash gone right... i feel lucky.. but for half hour only, rebooted and angain in boot loop.
I cannot even boot in recovery. flashed TWRP. from 5 boots in recovery only 1 success.
When trying to wipe phone in TWRP - it hangs.
still trying to install some other (custom) rom. still no success.
hope never dies
same things happened here! now cant get samsung galaxy s5 to boot...............
Are you sure your using right firmware? as it took me a few versions before it booted last time this happened?
Could any please confirm what is the right firmware for samsung galaxy s5 900F
It took another 6 or 7 attempts, left it over night and was about to trash it when it booted.
I then received a 'software update available' message and tried installing it. First attempt put the phone back into boot loop so I reflashed it again using Odin.
That worked immediately the over the network software update installed and now phone is 100%
Very frustrating but I got there!
glad you fixed it! ive tried three different firmwares and still nothing.
trying this one atm
G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FEVR1AND1_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME.tar
oh and how long do they take to boot when there are sitting at the samsung glowing screen?>
I'm in UK and used what (I had to guess) was the best firmware.
I'll let you know which version it was when I get home tonight.
BUT I had all the problems with a single version and it eventually came good.
I read somewhere that overwriting a different core (from specific providers) with generic firmware, could lead to a world of pain until it gets full replaced... not sure if that's a good description (or has any fact to it) but it seemed to be re-loading and re-loading and re........ for ages, finally cracked it.
well mines booted now!but getting constant errors about samsung push!
If it'still booted, you'very made progress!
Push issues are mentioned elsewhere and can (eventually be sorted) but if you have a booted phone you should be able to get an over the air software update installed from the service provider....?!
