Thanks a lot for all your help. Though I don't have high hopes for this being fixed.
So I was running Slimbean 6.2 weekly with ktoonez 6.8 kernel and decided to go into recovery (CWM Touch 6.0.3) to fix permissions and clear cache since I was having some battery drain issues. After I hit fix permissions it started to do so and then all of a sudden my phone rebooted and gets stuck at the splash screen. Went back into recovery to try and fix permissions again same thing happens. Tried clearing cache and doing a normal reboot still stuck at splash screen. I tried doing a factory reset but it keeps rebooting right when it gets to formatting data. So essentially I can do anything aside from format data so I am guessing there's some corrupt file there that's keeping me from formatting it. I've tried installing different ROM's that I have on my SD card but they always get stuck at the splash screen. Doing a restore doesn't work as once it gets to restoring data the phone reboots. I checked report error or something along those lines in CWM Advanced and it said can't format /emmc which I'm not sure what that means.
I've looked around but haven't been able to find any information on how to fix this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Ok go into CWM wipe cache, wipe dalvik and do factory reset. Then flash any rom which you have on your phone storage. Does this work?

You never mentioned you started over by installing 4.1.2 Stock and then tried flashing ROM again, only that you went into recovery numerous times. Download Mode and Odin to Stock is what I was getting at. Then... Flashing 4.2.2

Even better, download one of the Odin 1-clicks. Connect your phone, open the 1-click and stand back while it does its magic.
EDIT: Here http://rwilco12.com/Files/Devices/S...ooted/SPH-L710_MD4_1130792_Rooted_Restore.exe
Click that and it will start downloading. When it's finished, connect your phone while in download mode and then run the .exe

Indeed. Odin One Click is another, and better, alternative.

downloading now to give it a shot, thanks for the quick replies
so I used the one click odin file but it didn't do anything that I can tell. All it seemed to do was check the md5 sum which came back successful and thats it. Do I need a stock rom file as well with this? Sorry for the noob questions
edit: nevermind, I didn't realize I needed to have odin up and running before connecting the phone, doh
the one click odin file worked! thank you so much for the quick replies and helping me out!

hmmm could have been alot of things. Maybe just a corrupt flash or dm verity fail . Or it could be somthing as simple as failing to power down immediatly after flashing. Part of the unlock process causes loop but not on verizon screen it does it after galaxy note 4 screen. if you flashed the firmware with the 6.0.1 bootloader but the 5.1.1 firmware and you werenot unlocked might do that. Ummm yeah man its totally possible to get back to 5.1.1 still . If i was you id double check all the files you flashed making sure its not your bad. Then id check the firmware i flashed making sure its metadata checksum is what its supposed to be . or you could always stay put at marshmellow ....its not the worse possible outcome nor is it the best . up to you, it gets easier with practice . I had the note 3 too exact same procedure so it feels easy because ive done it alot. The first time is a sketchy nerve racking nightmare and i wouldnt blame ya if ya backed off the unlock.
