So I was trying to flash a rom today and ended up soft bricking because the file was bad. Didn't get the chance to flash the new rom and already wiped data. The backup I did was also not working and I didn't have another rom to flash.
Now I am stuck on Samsung boot logo but I could still access download mode and CWM.
What should I do to fix this? Should I just flash to stock firmware and that would fix the issue? Or is there an easier way?
Basically I just need to push the new downloaded rom into sdcard but how do I do that when my phone wont even boot?

If you're reasonably competent with adb, you could also boot into recovery and upload a different ROM file to your phone with it.

New question, sorry for being such a noob. I tried rooting using GS3 Snapdragon Toolkit to root but the problem now is that when after it reboots, the screen is black and there is only flashing blue LED. What am I doing wrong?

Did you try to use the toolkit with a Jelly Bean stock? It explicitly can't do that.
Since you're using Odin anyway, you might try one of the pre-rooted stock images from this thread.

Hi Guys need help bad. I hope I didnt screw my phone up.
I rooted my phone using the latest toolkit and installed twrp. Once i did that I backed up everything including efs on the external card.
Once i did that I flashed Jedi x rom but did not have much signal so decided to flash another rom which was liquid smooth. Once I flashed it again
my signal was almost non existent. I downloaded a canadian modem in the zip file and flashed it using twrp the same way i would flash a rom.
After i did that i wiped all the data and cache and the system. As I was rushing it siince its late at night i got a message saying that I am not rooted. I ignored it and rebooted the system and now its stuck on samsung logo. What can i do? Please help!!!!!
It appears that when I hold vol up plus home plus power I can get into download mode. I hope that helps.
Can someone give me some help how to get it back to life. I am pretty sure I have to use Odin at this point but dont know how
Ok i did some reading and I think the next step is to download stock image for the wind mobile turn on Odin and upload the image to the phone..
What settings should I use in Odin? What should be checked at the top and am I to use PDA only?
You can use odin or just reflash the ROM. You said tout wiped system after flashing the modern. That means you erased what ever ROM was on there. It's sticking at Samsung because there is no ROM to boot into.

Well I cant get into TWRP and dont know how to flash a ROM through ODIN? I am total newb at this.
Could you give me some pointers once I open up odin what do i need to do ? Thanks
Have you puked the battery. Put it back in then held volume+, home and power? Your recovery should still be there.
Also, odin is easy. Just open it and click the pda box and put your stock ROM there. Two things make sure you put your image in PDA and PDA ONLY and make sure it's your official stock Image

Yup went back to ODIN and flashed stock image and everything is now working great. I assume that I need to root the phone again before attempting to flash any roms again. I guess it was late at night and like you said I wiped the rom and there was nothing to boot into. I am an idiot!
Thanks for your quick help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In order to root again do i use the toolkit again or simply just download the pre-rooted rom and flash it with Odin? Which one would be better just

When I did this approach, I did it in two steps. I downloaded factory image of the firmware and flashed the device by using Odin 3.0.7.
Next, I used a tool package called "Galaxy Note2 ToolKit." Follow the instructions for how to root.
When I did the procedure, the software also had an option to include clockworkmod recovery
and busybox.

I've been on XDA for sometime but this has me frustrated. My note 3 keeps rebooting over and over. It will show the Note III screen then the Samsung screen and then the white with pink T-Mobile screen. After several seconds...it starts to reboot this same manner over and over. Every once and a while it will boot up to lock screen. When I swipe the screen it says that the system is not responding. It asked me do I want to wait or cancel. Eventually it just reboots and starts the process over and over. I have tried odin maybe 50 times. Tried kies. It will load the odin tar stock rom and say successful but the rebooting just starts again. I've tried a stock kernel and I tried the green compusion kernel. Please, if you have the knowledge to help, I would be very grateful. I've flashed roms and odined bricked devices for years...but this one has me stuck....Thanks ahead of time. It will go into download mode fine. It will go into recovery fine as well.
I have read the other threads and post similar to this one but they haven't help up to this point and do not seem ti be active anymore.

Have you tried the complete restore function in Kies? Where you have to enter your Model & Serial number?
Using the stock downloaded from sammobile. And I have tried kies restor with the model and sn. It load perfectly on the phone just like odin but when the phone starts to boot up....it bootloops.
I just load the md5 file in PDA and hit start.

wouldn't know, hasn't happened to me yet. if there's one thing i've noticed with this stuff, is that it is very rare to permanently (although slightly possible via software/software-hardware conflicts) to brick a device unless you do something really stupid. i'm fairly confident that joe will get this working.
Thanks for all the confidence and the humor as well. Yeah, I've come close to bricking several devices. But usually with some great insight and help....they are "usually" restorable . Thanks guys. I'm downloading root de la vega files now...soon we shall see....
Thanks for the twrp thread link. I've flashed twrp several times...no problem..the problem is when the rom starts to load it just loops and loops and...
well...tried it...it loaded. came to tmobile screen then began looping again...unbelieveable....

try twrp and restore previously working system or boot partition. i'd only try one at a time.
OOOOOORRRRRR
try reflashing stock kernel then wiping cache, dalvik, fix permissions.
if that don't work try a custom kernel then wipe cache, dalvik, and fix permissions.
i think you are one step closer.

No when you odin you should still have the boot loop. Then you can do a battery pull and reboot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache.

From all the all roms I have seen, its not available yet...
And as for the patch I was thinking of trying it but im afraid of bricking my phone. You can flash that rom as long as the rom doesnt install two files( which are carrier related). I just cant remember what files. Just read in that thread and look for those files. when u download the rom use root explorer and check that the rom doesnt have them in there.
Let me know how it goes ?

So to confirm, you tried the patch at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394 and you got stuck on the flashing Samsung logo? Me being the noob that I am, I (stupidly) decided to simply go ahead and flash the N7100 version on my L900 following the instructions for the N7100 (original) varient. It of course bricked me, never got anything beyond the flashing Samsung logo, just does that forever until I pulled the battery.
However, by attempting to flash it I seem to have created other problems and here's where I'm stumped. I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no? What I'm getting at here is that I'm pretty sure Nandroids from different recoveries, for example CWM and TWRP are completely incompatible right?
If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

Okay lets cover the backup types first. Philz will backup/restore in both twrp and cwm format but you have to select the option. Now about your backup it will still be no good since it was created with twrp.

now that we have 4.4.2 there shouldn't be a reason we cant get this rom ported
Thrown into a bootloop after rebooting using ROM Toolbox to change fonts. Rebooted, nothing. I reset cache, nothing. I can boot into recovery (the menu for clear cache, factory reset) but I'm not sure that's the solution. Sorry about this, I'm new to rooting and need some help.
Do I flash to the original .kdz file if I want to retain the settings and memory (music, photos, etc.)? Do I use LG Flash Tool 2014 for this? Or is there another way to get out of this bootloop without loosing internal data?

you need to re-flash the tot file located in the Verizon development section on how to flash back to stock located here, follow the instructions exactly, don't rush it and it will put you back to stock. You will not "retain" any settings and if all your stuff is saved on the internal memory and not an external SD you will lose them also. I was unable at any point after a font change to save the system via the factory reset option, nor via the clear cache option. I eventually re-flashed.:

You may be able to get away with just doing a "wipe data / factory reset" to fix this.yes, you're going to lose your current data that's on the phone, but its a faster solution than flashing the TOT. Just try that first to see If that works, if not, go with the TOT like the other guy said.
I assume you're not running a custom ROM, because this could be easier if you were (you'd just reflash the ROM without wiping).

Yeah I'm running stock, this means I can't reflash without losing data? I know I'm repeating myself but after looking at several tutorials it seemed that I could just flash the stock firmware to fix the system errors that are causing the bootloop, but you're saying that's only possible with a custom ROM?

No no no. You can flash the TOT file if you want to. It will work. Just make sure if you do, its for the Verizon G3. All I was saying is that it will be faster to just boot into recovery and try a factory data reset that way. It should fix the boot loop. You will lose the data on you phone either way though, whether its the TOT file you flash, or the more simple way of booting into recovery and doing a complete factory data reset. (In TWRP)
My comment about the custom ROM was that if you were running a custom ROM and ran into this bootloop, you could just reflash the custom ROM in recovery without wiping, and you would be able to keep phone data, and it would fix the bootloop. That's all. Lol

I do not know of how to do this with the LG Flash tool. This might be available to do if you have an image of the filesystem then used the chinese recovery apk but I am not 100% sure as I do not use it nor have I tried it personally. I do know I was able to get the phone to boot if I used the same size filenames, but if any of the filenames or filesizes deviate from the list already in the system/font directory it causes a bootloop. When I attempted to use the L based fonts and matched filesizes, and names, I got a systemui crash that was also unrecoverable and even though the system loaded I couldn't get debug mode even though it was set before the crash.

This does not work as I have already stated. Factory data reset did not change/alter the system/font folder at least on the VZW model I have. I tried both from recovery and from the LG boot menu (Hold Vol Down and Power, once LG screen comes up release and then hold down vol and power again until it boots into the LG service menu.) Also, WE DO NOT HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS on VZW there is no custom recovery for his model.

Ahhh... Yeah , that's going to hinder things. Sorry, I have a t-mo g3, and we obviously have unlocked bootloaders and recovery . just assumed you guys did too by now.
OK, TOT file is the only option then . sorry for the confusion.

Yup unfortunately. Had this happened in a week when the rumors are we might see unlocks for other models, he would have been in a much better position. I lost a bunch of photos too, which is why I now back them up to a cloud. I just have to remember to erase the "Special" ones from the wife! =P
Sorry for the caps, it was meant more for those people who come after reading this then you. The OP Already sounds a bit confused on what his phone can and can't do so I didn't want him getting confused which was why there was emphasis added. =)

Lol totally understand. I was just trying to help, and now I feel bad that I confused him more .
I actually ran into the same bootloop with trying to flash a new font a couple days ago , but my fix was much less involved than the TOT file haha . I hope you guys get an unlock soon and untethered recovery ( I think you guys have tethered right?) , because flashing the tot can be a pain in the ass. Plus development should start to pick up across the board too.
We have some kernels and stock deodexed Roms, but I'm dying for some aosp on this phone
