Pull out the battery for at least 30 seconds then try to re-enter to recovery
HOLD VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON
release the POWER BUTTON after 4-5 seconds so it won't loop to logo. try.

Could you please share how you did it?
Mine is infinitely looping aswell and I can't seem to stop it. It just keeps booting and booting. Odin doesn't recognize it either..

Same boat here, loaded latest TWRP for my device, and then allowed TWRP to root device. Tried to start device to android, and it went into infinite reboot loop. I can boot to TWRP or download mode only.

If this is similar to my bootloop; I had to remove the back of my Note (P605) to carefully disconnect the battery, then plug it back in, stopping the bootloop and turning the note off. This allowed me to then use vol and power key to go into download mode and use adb/fastboot to fix TWRP with the correct version. In my case 3.1.1 that davidmueller13 has created for my P605. But I think this version may not work on P600. So TWRP 3.0.2 (?) may be the one you need.

So, you want to switch from DN3 (Custom ROM) to the Stock Firmware available for your device?

1. What is your device model number?
2. I assume that you are familiar with flashing ROMs, right?

Here's the detailed steps to install the Stock Firmware for your device:
1. Head to the download page, this is the UNmodified firmware provided ‘as is’ from Samsung/carrier servers. [Don't forget to choose your location]
2. After download is complete, extract the downloaded file and you should get a MD5 file.
3. Enter the download mode form your device [normally by holding the volume up button + home button + power button]
4. Connect your device to your PC.
5. Start Odin.
6. Odin should recognize your device, and you can tell so by seeing that the first slot from the upper left is taken, if not then you need to install a driver for your device. [I personally just download Kies and it automatically download the proper driver for your device]
7. Click on PDA from Odin and browse to the extracted MD5 file.
8. Press Start.
9. Do not unplug your device until the process is fully completed.
10. The phone will reboot and you should see a Pass! on Odin, which means the process was successfully accomplished.
Don't proceed with any step of the past steps unless you fully understand every single one of them, if you have any difficulties understanding anything feel free to ask!

Thanks, will flash it when download finishes.

Downloaded and flashed, stuck on Samsung logo with a weird sound.

if you do all of instructions well, and didnt worked, then...
I THINK your problem will be solved by this way:
If you have installed samsung stuck recovery, or whatever ,now, just enter it by holding vol+ , home button and power button
then do all wipes. restart in download mod by holding vol-, power button and home button. after you've done it, then flash the stock official firmware in odin by given instructions
if I helped you press thanks button!:good:

These instructions mentioned above should work but, I higly recommend wiping user data ( only) multiple times [through recovery] and rebooting, then wait patiently for Samsung's logo as it usually takes longer times at first boot, If this didn't work, then I'd say doing what fellow member Reza Kashkuli recommended.

No, you don't need an older version. You simply aren't installing it correctly. Follow the instructions EXACTLY as shown the recovery thread.

As I expected, you did not follow the instructions properly. The instructions direct you to "uncheck auto-reboot in Odin". You did not do this.

Directly from the instructions:
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

Yes, depending on what data you want. But you will need the custom recovery working first.

Awesome

Easiest way to install latest TWRP once rooted

Install latest TWRP once rooted, I have a separate thread about how to root your device.
1. Download latest twrp from here http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d851
2. Download Flashify (for root users) from play store
3. Open flashify select recovery file you downloaded then flash it to your device. Done
(Boot into recovery menu when device is powered off)
1. Hold volume down and power button simultaneously
2. Soon as LG logo appears immediately let go of both volume down and home button
3. Repeat step one right after step 2
You will be asked to factory reset your device SELECT YES BOTH TIMES and you should boot right into recovery menu.
Done

Thanks for the guide bit it does not work.
I did as you have explained, flashed the twrp image but it does not go to recovery mode after pressing volume down plus power butto. It turns on normally..??
How do i know if the twrp is properly installed??

If at first you don't succeed, try ... try again. You are probably not timing the second press correctly.

No data will be lost. "Yes" twice and you should be in TWRP.

YES I MADE IT.. THANK YOU SO MUCH.:good:
PLEASE MENTION THIS IN YOUR GUIDE THAN ONE HAVE TO PRESS THE SAME BUTTONS AGAIN "IMMEDIETELY" AFTER SEEING LG LOGO.

This only works if you have the play store (and thus GAPPS) installed. I however do not.
You should modify the title to reflect that.

Great work on this TWRP. Works great on LP also after using a bumped boot.img and kk aboot also. Anyway to speed up backup's? Seems like over 10 minutes+ to backup to SD Card.
---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
Ok, tried my first backup restore on TWRP from SD Card and it failed! Hmm. Anybody else have a successful restore? Just got my G3 so this is the first TWRP I've tried. Send you a PM OP.
---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------
Tried TEAMWin's TWRP and backup restore failed also. Must have been a bad backup. Gonna try backup again with TeamWin's and restore and see what happens.

this link from the stock rom thread points to a version 2.8.6.1 which is newer than everything in the OP link
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxgcaWaR5dRTZExOQnZGWV91U3M/edit?pli=1
is this the right one to use?

what are the steps to go back to no twerp and no root and back to oem phone?
on my g2 I would go to factory reset in the setting and it would only boot into recovery mode..

I just searched for TeamWin TWRP and D851. Got a link to here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/249/ Seems twrp-2.8.7.0-d851.img is latest.

Update: I was trying to find a safe way to update TWRP and went back to the below site. The instructions now say to update with TWRP Manager. It worked flawlessly.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/249/
Install TWRP Manager. Tap on Install TWRP. Select your device from the device list (d851) and then tap on Install Recovery. The file will download and be installed automatically.
