help!!! No OS - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

T-Mobile Galaxy 3 N900T
No OS. TWRP was installed and I thought I had ROM on SD card no. So now I have no OS. I tried the Volume up home on button but just says Galaxy Note 3 and that's yet.
I read some other posts but where do I get recovery image and how do I get to bootloader? via Odin?
How do I recover?

Where did the os go that you was running.you know it is power home and vol up at same time to get into recovery.
TWEAKED 2.0

If all else fails download the factory image from samobile and flash it in Odin. Will lose everything but phone will be working again.

If you have to ask questions like that it really would be worth reading up on how to do this stuff. Unsure if you can truly brick it but better to be safe than sorry.

You can't really brick this way, although I'd consider it a soft brick. No os is simply that, no os. Uninstall your pc os and everything is still there, all your data is fine (given you keep your os and data separate. I.e partitions, which is android.)
Flash an os and you're fine

CWM nor TWRP will install
I succeeded in getting back to stock. I put the TWRP & CWM installed via Odin (Odin passed) but when I 3 button turn on it boots to the screen that says up volume to install OS and I go into Odin screen.
What gives?

3 button boot is for download mode...

For realizing I'm a moron! Somehow I missed the Vol up part! LOL

Seeing as how I haven't flashed a recovery, I've no reason to attempt recovery. Thought it was still Vol - and power like the s3.
No need to feel like a moron. If anybody should it's me lol

[Q] Possible Brick: Is a jig my only hope?

I did a duma$$ move. I flashed a rom on top of a different rom without wiping.
- Phone boots up
- Boot animation displays
- Freezes on 'Android' Screen
- Does not go into Recovery
- Does not go into Download mode
- PC doesn't see it, but pc makes a sound when I plug it in, and drivers attempt to install when I plug in to pc (fail)
- Kies takes a while but I got "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Please try again'
Any and all help is appreciated.

if you got into download mode and odin'ed back to stock and it gets stuck on the "samsung with the blue logo behind it" boot screen than you have to go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache there and reboot, i had the same problem earlier but mine could get into recovery and download mode but it wouldnt wipe the data it would just turn off whenever i tried to

HOLY S-H-I-T SNACKS! I got into download mode. Rather then pressing Volume UP + Home + Power, I did same but Volume Down, and I'm Golden.
Thanks for all the help and Replys. Love this community. I root because this is what we do. I stand behind those that say Samsungs are damn near impossible to brick.

How'd you do that? I might have the same situation.
to get into the stock recovery you hold volume up and home and the power button at the same time, use the volume keys to move up and down and power button to select than wipe data and cache and reboot

[Q] TWRP won't load anymore and phone can't detect sim

I've had Sons of Android installed on my phone for a few months and a few days ago my phone stopped detecting the sim, I haven't had service since it stopped. I was going to try doing a restore to the stock rom but when i try to boot into TWRP it shows the splash screen for a few seconds, then it goes black and vibrates 3 times, and then it boots into android. Is there anyone here that can help me with my problem?

Put the phone into download mode and reflash twrp 2.6.0.4 maybe u deleted something u shouldn't have, reflashing the recovery should fix that, and if u wanna go back to stock u need to go to sammobile.com download ur firmware and flash with Odin, same thing put phone in DL mode and use odin to flash stock IMG.

How are u trying to get into recovery? Hold power and vol+vol- until phone shuts down, as soon as u feel the first vib let go of power button but continue to hold vol+vols until u see twrp screen, or depending on which ROM ur on u may have an advanced rebbot screen?, try updating ur su app, or better yet download twrp manager from play store, u can flash/backup/restore right from ROM without having to boot into recovery, but u need to have twrp recovery installed for this app to work

Try twrp manager from play store, u won't need to boot to recovery, u can do it all from main system, or use Odin to reinstall twrp and see if that helps sometimes goo can cause issues

Is This It For My Phone?!?

So here is my deal, I have been flashing custom ROMs on my TMobile Note 2 and I think I may have made an error one ROM in particular. WanamLite ROM. I have TWRP and noticed that ROM uses CWM instead. Now I cannot load any ROM as it either upgrades itself amsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen. Is there anyway I could get out of this mess?
I think that rom is made for international note 2 but you should be able to use what ever recovery you want, what are you trying to flash, or you just trying to get into recovery?

Okay, I just did that and it just had the android logo with it saying downloading, do not turn off target! So I guess I'll wait for it to download whatever it's downloading.
No you need Odin now to install either a stock or rooted firmware , do you have Odin on your computer? Can you get into recovery or no? volume up power and home at the same time,

No, I do not have Odin on my laptop. I have TWRP as my recovery and can actually get into it by doing the volume up, power button and home at the same time. I'll check the site to see if I can Odin.

Bricked My Note 2 via Brain Fart

So here's what happened - I installed digitalblur but forgot to install the 4.3 bootloader prior to flashing digitalblur. ROM flashed fine and went thru setup of rom and then as I always do after setup I like to reboot the phone. But it wouldn't reboot, all it would do is continue to boot loop at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 screen. Now I can't get into recovery. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to fix this issue?

[Q] Initialize Samsung Galaxy S4 Via Kies 3

Hi Guys! I have a rooted T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2. If i initialize it via kies 3, will there be no problem? Will I be able to root it again?
What do you mean initialize? Like perform a reset? Root has been achievable in every android version for this device so I think that answers your second question

You can flash it back with stock firmware.. If you want to reset I suggest you use Odin instead of kies.. Download 4.4.2 firmware from fenny and flash it with Odin.. Flashing the firmware will also flash stock recovery
