I had previously tried to root my phone and decided to flash it back to factory. I downloaded last nights OTA 4.3 update and after it installed, now my ATT S3 SGHi1747 gets stuck at the ATT logo AFTER the Samsung logo appears then disappears. My pc is no longer recognizing the device nor do I know how to get in there to at least get it up and running to try and flash it back to factory THEN download 4.3.
Any suggestions on how to get this fixed would be appreciated!

ODIN back to stock.
Question
Did you try using ODIN or did you find a factory ROM to flash?

Try booting into recovery and factory resetting, this usually fixes this problem.

If you google for "odin flash rom" there's lot of good tutorials out there, many on this forum alone. As for stock, i'm not sure where to find it since I flashed custom the day after I got my phone and never looked back...can't stand stock touchwiz. You could also try flashing any custom ROM you happen to have layin around...worth a shot until you find a custom one. I use BeanStalk ROM, which has 4.3 and 4.4 versions out now.
Best of luck to ya!

I suggest here that everyone here read some of the other threads here on XDA, and see all the problems people are having flashing and rooting after taking this latest 4.3 OTA before advising the next person on how to make ANOTHER paper weight.
As for Sider,
You might be out of luck here, as there is no official 4.3 firmware yet available to flash back to stock, and also AT&T has done something with the new software update, where trying to downgrade it back to a previous version is going to either fail or brick phones.
Also, I haven't read yet where anyone has been successful flashing a custom recovery to fix any issues, but the posts are going up so fast right now that I might have easily missed it.
Edit: OK, someone was able to get TWRP installed, but is also having issues with root.

DO NOT ODIN after last update (OTA 4.3) installed on phone. You will brick your phone.

You're right. I completely forgot about that.
ok guys, i have a question for you. keep in mind that im new to the phone world lol. ok so a bout a month ago i wanted to unroot my phone but for some reason the tar files on sammobile wasnt working right. so i came on here and downloaded what i believed to be the file that i needed to go back to stock. after i used odin and the phone rebooted it automatically notified me that i had a update. after i accepted the update and it rebooted, it again notified me that i have yet another update. so after this happened i noticed that my phone was updated to 4.4.4 kitkat which would be great exept for the fact that it keeps freezing and when i am on wifi i have a problem getting phone calls aswell as text messages. also when i disconnect from wifi i have to restart the phone to get any data back. is there anything that i can do? is it possible to go back to 4.3 or even 4.2.2? any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello! Did you make a back up of your phone before you started the update? That would be the easiest way to go back to how it was. If you used Odin and didn't install a recovery like TWRP or Clockwork you may not have done so. I believe you can reload from Odin with an older ROM it will just erase everything you did. There are stock ROMS here at XDA and galaxynote3root.com as well. Let me know it this helps, sorry for your troubles.

I'm actually surprised that you did get an update to 4.4.4... You could try going back to NF9. The safest route I see that you can take is to install a custom recovery and make a backup before doing this. If you odin NF9 and it doesn't boot then you're kinda screwed because we technically don't have the 4.4.4 update yet, so if anything goes wrong, you can install a recovery again and restore the 4.4.4 backup.

You can get the latest TWRP recovery here : http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Just odin that and after it's done, go into recovery by doing Vol down + Home and do a backup either in your internal or external storage. After that finishes, you can go back in download mode and odin NF9.
ok thanks for all you help man,

Yeah its not on their website. I have know idea what i got then lol anyway to fine out if i have something i shouldnt?
So I'm just getting into the whole ROM thing and I'm pretty sure I've messed up here. I encountered a problem after installing CyanogenMod 12 Unofficial (trltespr NIGHTLY) where I could receive text messages but not send them. I could still load pages and apps over lte and call people but I couldnt send messages. I gave up with the idea of finding a solution after browsing forums and decided to preform a factory reset through settings. The phone was rooted but not after I installed the rom. after rebooting it went into recovery mode and began to loop showing the Team Win screen then going black only to do it again. I removed the battery and booted the phone into download mode and it is now sitting here connected to my computer with Odin up ready for whatever it is that I need to do to fix it. I have absolutely no idea what to do. Help is very much appreciated.

Youre an OE1 victim and Good Luck in your endeavors until a .tar comes out.

Is there any way I can remove or reinstall/repair TWRP so i can properly wipe the system or just get another rom working?
Solved
Ok so I did some searching and didn't find any definitive answer as to how to fix this. Finally, figuring I couldn't mess this up any further I went into odin and re-ran the CF Auto Root. It rooted successfully and the moment it rebooted it loaded me back into Cyanogen. None of my settings were changed and everything was how I left it. As for my message problem they still wont send but at least I got my phone back. Thanks for the help as I'm now going to restore to factory settings so long as my recovery is working.
The reason rooting it fixed the problem is because it restored the factory recovery and I can now reinstall TWRP

Yep, the trend seems to be pointing to CF Auto Root after trying to flash stock tar over OE1 build. Although I'm thinking the stock recovery is from way back unless CF updates his build.
About the text sending issue, did you apply the fix found in link below? Check under the spoiler.

I attempted to root my phone using the Chainfire Auto-root method today and somehow managed to use the 925p edge MD5 file instead of 920p. This caused a few issues, the X-axis was inverted, no service, and a continual automatic reboot after about 30-60 seconds of the phone being on. In an attempt to fix it, I have tried a few things. in many combinations. I have reflashed the stock tar file, cleared cache, factory reset, and flashed the PIT file found in post 12 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/operating-smg920p-t3263325/page3. Unfortunately all attempts have been for fruitless. Obviously the first issue to be tackled is the constant rebooting. Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe flashing unikernel will help, it can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087012055
Just flash it in Odin, if that does not work you may want to try bringing it to where you bought it for warranty.
No luck, unfortunately.

The firmware posted above is OJ7, which seems to be an earlier version than the OL1 firmware. I have no idea why OJ7 would work for you when OL1 wouldn't. (Unless you got a bad download of OL1, which is why I recommend checking MD5.)
If you are still on OJ7, can you try system update and see if that takes you to OL1?

Ok i left the phone at home but i did look at the log cat about the first ten lines all had emmc in them im not quite sure. Well I cant read it lol. when i get home il flash twrp and restore a back up let reboot a few times get a log cat and post it will twrps log cat work? If im lucky i might get a app installed to do it. I no longer got adb and fastboot on my computer but will download if needed.
im waiting for a replacement to get to the sprint store. i flashed stock and took it in rebooting sprint guy tried factory resetting it and clearing cache which got it stuck in the pre load starting or optimizing apps before itd finish it it would reboot and if i kept going id beable get to start up settings thats it. now i can flash twrp still it does restores my back ups and after that itl boot the system i can uninstall or install something or what not maybe 1 min after im able to get into it it reboot. only wifi connects though.

Seems as maybe a somewhat common issue unfortunately thats happening for s6 as well as sprint note 5 as there are a few threads regarding the same issue.

I love my Note 4 so much that I tried for about 2 weeks to fix it's constant rebooting issue. Went to ATT & Samsung repair center and they couldn't get it to flash. However, it stills turns on, I just generally need to pull the battery for a few minutes to get it to boot.
With that said, I'm not incredibly knowledgeable in this area. I've downloaded ODIN and found lots of resources for the exact steps to follow, however, I'm not sure where I can locate a version of 5.1.1 for ATT. To me, this seems like my only fix for my phone. I've tried clearing cache and factory resets etc. My phone is unlocked. Am I missing anything that you can think of? Can someone link me to a reputable source for the appropriate files?
You seriously cannot imagine how happy I'd be if I can get this thing working again. Thank you!
PS, if you think there is a more stable version than 5.1.1, I'm open to that too.
Bump. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What is your Baseband? Maybe you can't go back.
Heya guys.
Thank you for the link! I seriously googled and browsed forums for days looking for it. I even went to the Android website with a slew of different version but they did not have the ATT versions. Anyway, I'm going to give this a go but still pretty green to it. I was going to follow the instructions from this post - should work right? https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/expert-phone-trashed-t3573110
And Norbarb, I have no idea what my Baseband version is. I did a quick google to see if I can locate it somewhere but couldn't figure it out. How can I check?
I do appreciate your help.

Can you reboot to recovery?? There's some info there regarding your current setup
Ironically, now I can't even get the phone to turn on. I bought a battery charger for the Note battery to see if that is the issue. I can't get the battery to charge even when it's plugged in. That arrives Monday so I'll update shortly.
Quick update:
Baseband is N910AUCS2EPK3. I'm not sure if that means I can or can't roll back to Lollipop.
Popped in the charged battery from my new charger and it came right on. Had it on for a little bit just messing around with things. After rebooting it myself a few times, it now is reverting back to it not even turning on, even with a charged battery. I pull the battery 10-20 times, hold the power button without the battery to clearly out any remaining electricity and still no go. I have 2 batteries and neither work. So I'm going to let it sit and if I can get it to come on, install Wake Lock.
Does anyone know if I can revert back to 5.1? I'm not sure how my Baseband effects that. Thank you for all of your help! If I can't get this, I think I may go back to my S3 vs a Pixel.

If you have this, you can easily go to Odin and flash 5.1.1. I don't have the link to the LP Odin files, but heres the Odin link for the MM files in OP:

Make sure you can be able to stay in Bootloader for a while before you attempt this, because if your phone dies before the Odin flash completes, you probably likely just created a brick.
Here's my How-To in that same thread. I've also used the newest Odin available with same good results.

In fact, I'm about to reflash back to 5.1.1 again from latest updates. MM is pissing me off on that battery issue again. I just wish I can keep it there and keep ATT from pushing OTA without me agreeing to it.

Try holding power button, home button and volume up all at the same time while its powered off. If you can get to Recovery screen here, then you just may be getting somewhere. I would then wipe data/factory reset, then reboot again. If this doesn't work, you can then try holding power botton, home button and Volume down at the same time. This gets you in bootloader mode. Once you get there, only way out at this point is pulling battery (to start over) or get started on Odin flashing.
At least I have kept OTA from working, with this debloater from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

Now I can't get it to come up at all. As mentioned, I'll keep trying. Wondering if something else has gone wrong, or if it's software related still.

If you have this, you can easily go to Odin and flash 5.1.1. I don't have the link to the LP Odin files, but heres the Odin link for the MM files in OP:

Make sure you can be able to stay in Bootloader for a while before you attempt this, because if your phone dies before the Odin flash completes, you probably likely just created a brick.
Here's my How-To in that same thread. I've also used the newest Odin available with same good results.

In fact, I'm about to reflash back to 5.1.1 again from latest updates. MM is pissing me off on that battery issue again. I just wish I can keep it there and keep ATT from pushing OTA without me agreeing to it.

Got the phone to turn back on. Quick question. In your post, you mention 4 ODIN files. I only have an MD5 file and a PT file. Is there something I'm missing? I downloaded the stock rom from the top of my post. Thank you!

There should be a zip in here that you have to extract four files to a folder. You will use the Odin exe program to look for those files. Just follow my howto notes I wrote in the link I posted. This is to the Marshmallow stuff. Forget the MD5 and pit file unless you know what you are doing. Since I don't know where that came from, I won't even suggest those 2.

Ironically I'm looking to get rid of Marshmallow because I think 6.0.1 screwed up my phone. It was working great prior to that. So the LP files I have are the MD5 and pit, supplied in the 3rd post. Is there somewhere I should look for LP files? And to be clear, are there "regular" rom files for general use, and then ODIN specific files? ie, you could have a "regular" 5.1.1 file, and then ODIN specific 5.1.1?

Is there a way to use the files that I have? Not using ODIN? Or is that not recommended?

With the mess you have, I would think you want to Odin flash a whole new setup. You don't know what's wrong and a partition could be corrupted. If it's hardware, nothing you really could do about it anyways

Got it. I looked around and cannot find the files for ATT. I see them for others I think, but ATT is a ghost. Would you mind uploading if you can? If not I understand. I appreciate all of your help! Crossing my fingers that my Note 4 is still alive and well.
