I have a Galaxy Nexus that was stuck in a boot loop at the google logo. I tried using these instructions to reflash the device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394051
It got stuck at the beginning and stayed that way for about 30 minutes. After that i removed the battery and tried to start the device and now the attached image is on the screen no matter what i do.
Can anybody help me get this device working again?

I can't. I tried fast boot and odin mode but no matter what I do that image is displayed.
If you can't get into Fastboot or Download mode with the hardware buttons you're kinda screwed. You will likely have to order a USB JIG to force your phone into Download mode. So you can try to use ODIN to fix it. You can buy these USB JIGs off ebay.
I made a usb jig and tried to get to download mode but I cant. Is there any way to fix this?
All my problems:
Stuck in bootloop
Cannot boot into recovery
Cannot connect to odin
Thought it was usb connector port, but got that fixed, and problem still persists.
Anyone, please help me.

You can wipe the drivers and clean install as precaution

Are you only letting go of the power button? It sounds like you are letting go of all the buttons at the same time.
Try -
Pulling battery, leave it out for a second or two
Put the battery in...If it powers on automagically, sticky power button as suggested.
If it's still off, hold both Vol keys and hit the power button..You'll see the Samsung logo and then a progressive slider...Should boot into recovery (Factory or custom)
Can't go into recovery? Press the vol up and power and make sure USB is connected and running ODIN or ADB and you should see Windows trying to install some drivers...

Did all the above, computer still not recognizing usb, not going into recovery, and when i put the battery in it didnt turn on, so no sticky key. Im losing hope :[
No, I only let go of power button when I try to get into these modes. And yes I did restart my PC after i reinstalled drivers.

If you have a T989 and you pressed both volume keys and plugged the USB into your computer and couldn't get into download mode I am not sure what to tell you.
Buy a usb jig/dongle. With the phone off insert the dongle in the usb port of the phone and turn the phone on. It should put it into download mode. The fact you can see the Samsung logo indicates it isn't hard bricked and you should be able to get the phone into download mode. I also had issues getting into download mode when using the button combo so I got the usb dongle and it puts it into download mode every single time. They costs only a few bucks so it's worth giving it a shot.
Maybe its your data cable.

Tried 5 different cables INCLUDING a brand new one AND the original. It started with a charing port repair done by a "profressionals. Then the phone could charge, but could be recognized on a PC OR through download mode by odin. Which led to a hard reset, which led to it hanging on the samsung logo, which led to another hard reset, which led to a bootloop and no recognition through any program. Now i have a paper weight that can charge....
OK, trying to install CM10.2, which requires TWRP 2.6.3.0. So I installed GooManager from play store and updated to 2.6.3.0, now my phone won't boot, black screen after the samsung logo. It won't boot to system, won't boot to recovery.
I have usb jig, so I can go to download mode.
So how do i fix this?
OK, flashed twrp via odin, see pics.

Oh man. You're not the only one.
This happened to me yesterday. I had to flash back to stock. Now, I am about to root again. Good luck, mate.
This seems to happen with Goo everytime there's a new version of TWRP. I have read that the easiest fix is to flash the TWRP tar file with Odin. Every post I have read, said that everything was fine after that. Sounds like Goo doesn't mess with anything but the recovery in those cases. I used this fix once when I flashed a recovery zip that didn't work.
As of date. It appears Goomanager is the culprit.
I installed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hercules.tar using odin since goo obviously doesn't work... but I can't seem to boot past the teamwin screen... any pointers?

GooManager updated me to 2.6.3.0, now when I reboot, I see Samsung splash screen for a few seconds and then a black screen of death, won't boot, won't go into download mode no matter what I do. tried rebooting with both vol keys pressed down, tried holding vol keys down while inserting usb cable, tried rebooting while holding the down volume key, tried rebooting holding vol keys and power then releasing power. Nothing works. If anyone can help me get into downlaod mode, I'd appreciate. From there, I can revert back to 2.6.1.0
if you cannot go to download mode, you need USB Jig, check it here:

Jig not working either
So, as mentioned before, GooManager updated me to TWRP 2.6.3.0, and now I can't boot past samsung splash screen. No method I used would get me to download mode so I took the advice in the thread and bought a USB Jig. Even removing the battery and leaving it out for 2 minutes and then reinserting it, followed by inserting the jig in the charger port and waiting, and nothing happens. Turning the device on with the jig in the port also does nothing but a quick flash of the splash screen logo and then darkness forever. Definitely doesn't bring up download mode or any kind of yellow triangle. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? You'd think that as long as I can get to the samsung logo screen that there would be some way to recover this device and that I'm no hard bricked. Other people have managed to recover from the GooManger TWRP 2.6.3.0 issue, so why can't I?
shot my USB jig came in today & can't get it into to download mode at all NO
gata love odin it saves you every time
if you are stuck at samsung logo after flashing with odin
here's what you have to do:
1. While on Samsung logo. press power key + volume up and down + home button (all together)
2. When the screen is off. Press Power key + Volume Up + home button to enter recovery mode.
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe Cache
5. Reboot to system
you should be fine right now ^^
cheers!

Follow these instructions implicitly.
Hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME.
As soon as it restarts change to VOL UP while still holding the other buttons.
Do NOT let go of any of the buttons until recovery boots.

That's what I've been doing exactly but for some reason it just goes right back to the logo screen. I was able to get into the recovery mode one time out of 100 and I went through the process of factory reset but it didn't solve the problem. Now I can't get back into it. It's weird because I have no problem getting into the download mode pressing the volume down but volume up doesn't seem to work. Not sure why or what to do
I'd try reflashing stock recovery then try booting into it again.
If it flashes then you should be able to boot into it.

Install Samsung usb drivers, put your tab into download mode, connect to pc, run Odin, load the file into the AP slot then click start.

You haven't bricked anything, there could be any number of reasons why it won't boot past the logo.
Easiest way to resolve it would be to reinstall the stock rom.

That's the exact same situation I'm in. Every time I restart it I can't get passed that damn Samsung logo screen. I tried the whole flash with Odin process but I realized that when I connect the tablet to the computer, I get an "MTP Device Driver Failed" message so I'm assuming since the computer doesn't recognize it, even tried with KEIS and it doesn't, that I'm unable to complete the Odin job because that goes until 'Initialization' and stops there. Were you able to fix yours?

The two files below should boot you directly into recovery as soon as you start the tablet if you can flash them. Flash with Odin from the AP slot.
Make sure you put the device into DOWNLOAD mode first then connect your usb cable!
You can then do a factory reset and then try and flash the stock rom.
Stock recovery
Twrp recovery

Yeah I tried that too but when I connect the tablet to my comp, I get this 'Samsung Mobile MTP Device Failed' message so my comp doesn't even recognize the tablet. I even tried connecting with KEIS but that doesn't see it either because of that error. Idk if that's related to this issue that I'm having but I'm assuming that since the comp doesn't recognize the tablet because of that error, it won't finish the ODIN job. I get up to 'Initialization' and nothing after. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers and that didn't work either. Seems I can't catch a break here

Mtp, kies and anything else is irrelevant, they are OS dependent.
Just put the tablet into download mode. Download mode works in boot loader mode. No need for the os.

Ok we need to take this step by step as theres something amiss here.
DID YOU AT ANY POINT WHILE THE TABLET WAS WORKING ENABLE 'REACTIVATION LOCK'?
1. Ensure the Samsung drivers are installed (important) Samsung usb driver
2. Before connecting anything to the PC put the tablet in DOWNLOAD mode first.
3. Plug the USB cable into a USB 2 port
4. Wait for the 'ADDED' message (if you dont get this it wont work)
5. Load the tar file into the AP slot.
6. Click START
7. If it doesn't start to flash reboot the tablet directly back into DOWNLOAD mode without touching anything else then unplug and replug the USB cable back in.
8. If it still doesn't flash try ODIN 3.07 ODIN
9. Report back and post a screenshot (if it doesn't work).

I know for a fact that I never enabled the Reactivation Lock.. But you know, after literally days and hours including my entire weekend just searching the internet and trying every possible fix scenario that people have tried, I just gave in and sent it to Samsung this afternoon to have them fix it. Nothing I was doing seemed to work and I do believe I tried everything within my little knowledge to try. Let me ask you though, when I get it back in normal working order, would going through the steps to install the TWRP recovery and a ROM prevent me from being in this situation again or at least be able to actually fix it on my own?
If you dont mind tripping Knox and possibly warranty then I believe installing custom recovery is one of the best tools you can Install to a device.
It can get you back to a working state in minutes if you make a full backup.
It's a no brainer to install custom recovery if you intend to root and modify the device in any way.
Lineage /Oreo was installed thru TWRP 3.xxx, running fine but unhappy , no Viper4Android , so I installed it as a module on Magisk,
after installing the driver, was ask to reboot as directed, but went into bootloop , stuck on a boot loop " Set Warranty Bit : kernel " top left corner and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on screen ; I tried Vol Up +Home+ power combo and all other combi I could think but no luck , Odin wont recognize my phone, tried Samsung 300k tool with no luck, I fell like a newbie after using so many ROMs on all of my devices, I google how to get back to download mode but no luck, I need help to make my Samsung note 3 work again, PLEASE. THANKS.
Hi,
I have same phone but I'm running Resurrection Remix 6 which is based on LineageOS 15.1 and I'm able to use the Viper module through Magisk 16.3 without any problems. No bootloops, no nothing.
I never would have guessed that a sound mod could brick the device to the point that the buttons no longer function. Hopefully other users will chime in and help you fix it.
Best of luck.
EDIT: Try taking the battery out to force it to shut down and then try the recovery/download mode technique again. Sometimes, it'll end up in a bootloop and the buttons will be become unresponsive. I know it may seem a bit strange, but that scenario is entirely possible given the age of the device.

The jig that I bought didnt do anything so I make my own, I can go to download mode now, installed this ROM/firmware N900TUVUCNB4_N900TTMBCNB4_N900TUVUCNB4_HOME.tar.md5 succesfully but wont go pass beyond the tmobile logo, tried a few more firmware and lately this N900TUVUFOL1 and also , am stuck to Tmobile logo, anybody knows which firmware would likely bring my note 3 back to life, thanks in advance.:
Try this:
Uncheck everything in Odin except f reset time. Flash the latest ROM again. When you see the word "reset" in the status WIndow, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace battery, boot into recovery mode using buttons, factory wipe, and reboot.

Uncheck everything in Odin except f reset time. Flash the latest ROM again. When you see the word "reset" in the status WIndow, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace battery, boot into recovery mode using buttons, factory wipe, and reboot.

After "reset" status, I did remove cable, remove batt and boot up to recovery, the blue light lit up as if its going to recovery mode , android logo showed up but phone boot up to normal but not pass beyond tmobile logo, so I did CF-root via odin , but still not booting to recovery.
Try flashing the entire ROM in AP.

Thanks Audit13,
I manage to restore my Note 3 to TMobile Android 5 using repair firmware , it looks like I wipe out the partition ,My phone runs like new, am just wondering why I cant go to Download mode with button combinations of Volume -/Home/power , tried to install twrp via Odin, it says PASS but Vol +/Home/Power wont lead me to bootloader, did tried CWM , it will boot up but before I could start using it, it will reboot to normal and I could not go back to bootloader with button combo Vol+/Home/Power........HELP...
Download mode is volume down+home+power.
To flash TWRP with Odin, try this:
Open Odin and only check f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word reset in the Odin status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace battery, press home + volume up + power.
N900TUVUFOB6_N900TTMBFOB6_TMB and N900 PIT - are the files am using after screwing up my partition( I dont know how I did that ), this Note 3 is running like a hot knife on a butter BUT the only bug I notice is Volume Up + Home + Power ( recovery) NOR Volume Down + Home + Power (download ) does not work, I can only go to download mode using a USB JIG and no other way. I can flash TWRP via Odin with Auto-reboot not ticked , so I could remove cable, battery , hoping to get me to recovery mode but I couldnt. Did I miss a step?I need help.
