And also when it's plugged in it only flashes the LG screen.
I was testing some ports.
Here's everything I've tried.
While plugged in:
1. Doing nothing = Phone flashes the LG boot up and stays in a backscreen (phone still on)
2. Holding down Volume Up and power while plugging in phone: Lights alternate between red and captive buttons.
3. Letting go of above: Phone stays on black screen
4. Volume down plus power: phone turns off and flashes red notification
5. Letting go the above: Phone boots back up to black screen.
6. Numbers 2 and 4 again with Holding Volume UP and Power after letting go: alternating captive and notification light
Finally,
I think I hard bricked my phone.
Any help
I'm going to LGNPST soon.
If i remember right, someone else had the same thing. Xboxfanj said they had to lgnpst . Think his phone did the same.

This happened to me!!!!!!
hold all three buttons get into download mode, then hold it again to shut off. Wait 5 minutes while completely shut off,then plug the phone in for about 5 minutes. Lastly go to bootloader and then recovery from there.
Do this exactly like I have it.
Tell me how it goes.

I'm having a similar problem and I'm going to try what you just suggested, sharkboy. I'll report back soon.

Maybe I wont, I can't even get it to go to download mode...
Yes i had the same problem. Had to lgnpst to take root off. Then take it to sprint because my phone would still not do anything after i lgnpst.

I couldn't go into download mode at first either. The only way i could into download mode is if my phone was charging using the AC Adapter.

Mine did this today for no reason and I was finally able to get into the bootloader and get into recovery from there. I wiped cache and rebooted and it has been working since.
So it was a combination of things; however I did have to regret back to v7 but then after my phone couldn't go back into recovery after shutting off.
I did what shark boy mentioned above. With another variation, basically holding volume up and down until it shutoff and came back on, this allowed me to go into recovery. Granted I'm a little scared of shutting off again despite the fact I wiped.
The punishment for attempting to port CM9.
I think I'm going to write a guide helping people recover their device. Since I went through this.
Guide will basically list adb commands, LGNPST (as much information without linking to the URL), helpful button sequences and whatnot.

Did you happen to make that guide? My phone is doing the exact same thing...
Didn't do anything overly special... used the automatic "RootOptimusG-English" root method, followed by FreeGee and it worked peachy...made a few backups via TWRP as I went.. (raw, apps loaded up)
It was fine all night, charged to 100%... removed a few bloat apps (forget which), decided to make a backup via TWRP, just to be safe before continuing...
Started the backup, looked down a bit later (<10m), noticed my phone was off... turned it on... now I'm in a boot loop, I can get to the menu, but when I try use any options in the menu, it just reboots again.
I forced it into Download mode, and am presently letting it cool off for a few minutes like you suggested.... I'm going to be most displeased if I've trashed a SECOND OG....This is getting expensive.
Edit: Plugged it in, but it won't "stay off" and just charge, just continues to loop.... put it into download mode on an AC adapter, hopefully that clears it up. I don't have the option of "just returning/swapping it".

To those that stumble across this thread in the future, exhaust other, safer, options first. That said, disconnecting my battery cleared it up so I could LGNPST. Before LGNPST would finish in a few seconds, that's not right. Should take a handful of minutes.
hi, i just decided to root my t mobile note 3 device so the first website was tellin about KINGO 1 step root so i did install KINGO and it said successfully rooted and i clicked finish the phone rebooted and it showed me
Recovery Booting
Set Warranty Bit : Recovery
and this screen keeps looping and i cant even enter recovery mod once the phone turns on it shows me that and it keep looping auto reboot same screen
im not sure if my phone is still alive anymore
any solutions?
thanks.

Enter download mode (hold [VOLUME-DOWN][HOME][POWER] until buzz, then release [POWER]). At the first download mode screen where it says you can press volume-down to boot normally, press volume-down to boot normally.

same prob

If the advice above didn´t work (nothing happened when pressing the usual VOL down - home - power etc), this is how I managed:
I tried booting around 25 times with the power button released at different times. Did not work.
Tried to insert battery when pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I let the battery run completely empty. Started charging the phone and pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I charged the phone full (with booting the whole time....needed to put it somewhere quiet). After estimating it was full, I pulled out the battery, preparing to send it to mobiletechvideos.com (they saved me before). After a few hours I wanted to see the error message so I could write them. When I inserted the battery, I got the regular download mode! Nowthen, would I dare to boot it since I am not really sure what to flash to my phone?
I rebooted, and now the phone is back to normal. OTOH, I will not try to flash CWM/TWRP again, so goodbye custom roms (Omega )
you are a life saver!

I held down the Down volume key along with the power and spammed the home button until the download screen came on, just keep spamming it while holding down the other keys, it will reboot just keep spamming, then I plugged it in to my computer, opened Odin and re installed the Root and it booted up fine

The phone is fine now, it was just stuck on the loop and spamming home was the only way out, its fine now I've had no problems and it boots up fine
This happens...
This happens to almost everyone at some point of time. There is no need to worry as you just need to flash recovery like TWRP or CWM. To shed some light on this issue... boot loops mainly happen when you uses the incorrect version of software with your ROM or stock firmware. By using youtube you can look at the videos of your phone model and find the recovery version number needed.
For anyone who has a Note 3 T-Mobile phone who is still stuck! I am willing to make a video to show how to fix this and provide all the firmware/version numbers + links in one bundled location to make it easier.
ALL PHONES ARE VERY specific... ONLY USE THE CORRECT FIRMWARE FOR YOUR MODEL PHONE
Again, if you have a Samsung Note 3 T-Mobile, model number SM-N900T and are still lost. Let me know so I can shot a video and bundle files needed.

Don't be scared by this... just choose the correct versions before blindly trying to install a ROM. Also, only use links from main sources if you dont fell like auditing the code!
Hi guys, sorry for might be late about helping you now years later... But recently I've found something interesting about fixing this issue.
*****
Fix: (100% working in Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H)
UPDATED: More detailed info!
# Before flashed Recovery or Root:
1. Root device using Odin or any other rooting known workaround.
2. Backup Recovery (optional), and Kernel using Rashr (available on PlayStore).
3. Flash Custom Recovery (TWRP), using Odin PC software or TWRP android app.
4. Flash backed-up Kernel.img file to Boot partition using TWRP install section.
5. Reboot system (It may take a few time to boot)
# After flashed Recovery or Root: (accidentally or without knowing)
1. Search online and download your exact Phone Stock Kernel.
2. Follow *before flashed* above ↑ from 3rd.
Bonus info:
Even after flashing TWRP, you might be able to Boot device yet, by going to TWRP → Advanced → Reboot system. (It bypass bootlooping to Recovery, while: “Set Warranty Bit : Recovery”).
That's all! Try at your own, then share it!
Hello, I am new to these forums. I mostly registered for this one specific problem.
I'm pretty sure the phone isn't hardbricked, but I tried rooting my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (4G LTE version) with Klingo. After that, it said the root was successful and the phone immediately restarted itself. However, it was then stuck in a bootloop and it just kept restarting itself. The phone turns on, and then the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" logo appears with "RECOVERY....." in blue in the top left corner, and directly under that it says "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" in yellow. Then after about 3-4 seconds it shuts off, then about 2 seconds later it restarts automatically and just keeps looping like that.
T-Mobile said they would replace the phone, and they'll be sending me a new one as soon as the old one reaches the return center. Obviously I didn't tell them what I actually tried to do. In case they're able to find out what I tried to do and end up sending my old one back, I just wanted to ask this question preemptively so I might have an idea of what to do.
I HAVE TRIED BOOTING INTO RECOVERY MODE AND DOWNLOAD MODE. No button combinations cause anything to happen. The only thing that stopped the auto-restarting and looping was taking the battery out. Upon putting the battery back in, it will stay off until I manually turn the phone on again, where it will then continue to auto-restart and loop itself.
I do not have the phone right now because I sent it to a return center after spending a few hours searching online for answers and talking to T-Mobile on the phone. But if any of you have any ideas it would certainly be a great help if the worst case scenario ends up happening. Thanks for any potential solutions!

I have no idea what the issue is, but it seems you might not have a recovery installed on the phone. Try this:
Hold power + volume to go into bootloader (I know you said you tried various combinations, but make sure you're doing it correctly.).
Go into fastboot
flash a new recovery image from (TWRP or CWM) (how to: https://sites.google.com/site/tomsgt123//adb-fastboot)
reboot and go into recovery, then use adb sideload to flash a new ROM.
Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/comments/1rkvy0/help_stuck_in_bootloop_without_access_to_recovery/
I have no idea whether this will work, but it's worth a try. Please don't blame me if your phone gets even more messed up than it already is.

Thank you so much. I will definitely try this. I was also getting replies elsewhere that if I can see the logo, I should be able to get into download mode where I could then flash the stock ROM. Honestly, it does seem like I somehow may not have a recovery installed.
If they send me my old phone back I will definitely give this a try. Thanks a bunch! And don't worry, I won't hold you accountable haha.

So basically your problem was fixed by keeping the battery out for an extended period of time? Did you get the same problem as I did, with the phone trying to boot into recovery constantly and failing due to having no recovery image?
I never kept the battery out for more than 2-3 minutes, so that's another option for me to try if they send my old phone back and the first guy's suggestion doesn't work.

Yes, I had the exact problem. I tried to have the battery out for 10 minutes, and also ran out of battery during a nightly discharge. Still I could not get it to work. The only way was to leave the battery out for several hours. Beats me, but it worked.
Having bricked a device completely before, I am confident that your phone will be able to get fixed. This isn´t even semi-bricked
Good luck - let me know what happened!

When that happens and you go back to normal, are you able to access recovery mode afterwards if you want to? Or does trying to cause the same loop? Is it wise to re-flash the stock firmware just to be safe?

I never dared to try. But since I always used Windows under Mac (Parallells) or the fact that I used Windows 7 or 8, I tried to flash CWM on a native Windows XP PC today and it worked. So now I have a custom ROM working which I never thought would happen :laugh:
Sorry I did not try to access recovery before so you would know

No that's alright, I just wanted to know if it was something I should avoid. :laugh: I'll use Odin to flash the official firmware back on regardless.
I had this happen to me, what had occurred was that the efs was corrupt. Here's the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403
Now to implement this fix, you must first be able to get into download mode. To do so:
1. Pull the battery
2. Wait 10-20 secs
3. Reinsert battery WHILE holding power button and (volume down + home???, whatever the key combination is)
5. Phone will boot directly to download mode, no logo
6. Flash twrp via odin
7. Phone will reboot into bootloop again
8. Repeat steps 1-4 except this time use the key combination for recovery
9. You must now use adb and push the file I linked to earlier
10. Then without rebooting you must flash it
11. Reboot and problem solved
Fixed issue with continuous recovery boot
So, this issue was somewhat perplexing, and while the information shared was hopefully valuable to some, it took me about 2 minutes to
fix this and get back into download mode.
Take the battery out of the device, then plug the device into USB (If you're having same issue I was device will not show charging or turn on when plugged in.) Then with the device plugged in to usb and the battery out, hold down the Download mode combination Vulume +, Home and Power, then simultaneously slide in the batter, the phone will boot into download mode and you can get back to stock.
Hope this helped! If it did, leave a thanks.

This is exactly what I posted above lol
LOL Sorry. When I flash the TWRP file it just rebooted the phone back into the Hyper Drive Rom I'm using, did it do the same for you?
Thanks to everyone who has provided information and tried to help me! Thankfully, T-Mobile simply sent me a new phone. However, I'm definitely going to keep this topic bookmarked for future reference. This seems to be a rather uncommon problem, considering I had to make a topic to find a solution since all of my searches didn't give me any results.
Thanks again to everyone!

U r My neww Mirical worker I messed up a Mobile Odin Flash At work today trying to get the newish NE6
couldnt get it to boot into download after the screw up but read this this morning nd after trying everything else it worked perfect
thank you thank you
I'm having the same problem with my TMobile Note3 after using Kingo after upgrading via Kies to the latest Firmware. The only difference is my phone immediately starts rebooting as soon as I put the battery back in. It doesn't appear that any keys stop this and the USB isn't recognized by my computer in time before the reboot cycle starts.
Is there anything else to try other than sending the phone back for warranty replacement?
tim
Yeah Kingo has given me nothing but trouble, I'd steer clear of that software. I'm assuming you have no access to recovery mode? I have had that issue before on an S3 and was able to finally get it into download mode, but the battery being inserted immediately boots the phone up. So what you have to do is 1. Take battery out and unplug usb cable. 2. Plug USB cable in and Hold download mode buttons with BATTERY OUT (vol+, home and power) 3. insert battery simultaneously while holding buttons down, phone will boot up.. After holding down for about 10 seconds phone will manually reboot, 4. When screen shuts off (potentially vibrates) release download mode buttons, then IMMEDIATELY press and hold download mode buttons again (must perform this step FAST, the key is to do it right before the screen turns on if you can.) 5. The manual boot you've performed should allow you to trigger download mode. I was eventually able to get this to work (about 3 tries. ) I believe your download mode is still intact, you just have to use this method to access it. Remember that because your phone atuo boots with battery inserted download mode will only be available by manual reboot not battery insert.
Give thanks if I assisted you.. Your phone isn't a hard brick so Jtag service should be unnecessary at this juncture.

I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?
Thanks
I rooted my Verizon LG G4. Afterwards it wouldn't boot completely. It gave a Verizon message and wouldn't completely turn on. I tried to go back to the factory firmware and now I can't get it to boot up at all. No Verizon logo, nothing. Hard bricked? Is it completely shot or can it be fixed? I found a link to unbrick Qualcomm phones but it won't let me post the link here. It is very complicated!
Thanks!

Can you get into download mode? If so, try to KDZ back to stock or push the backup image you should have made.

KADA528 - Did you find a fix?
I have the same exact problem. Phone won't turn on after rooting. Cannot get to download screen either.
Hey guys i have the same problem phone wont turn on after root i did everything and it did nothing. I try to turn it on now and it does nothing not even download mode. I connect it to the computer and i hear Windows give me the sound when you plug in a phone.
Unable to revert to stock on vs986
I rooted my Verizon LG G4 using low effort root on version 11A. I am new to this rooting and didn't know how to disable system update. When I got the system update notification, instead of tapping install later, I tapped install now. Of course, the system update failed but since then I am not able to enter download mode to revert to stock. I tried to factory reset but it gives me secure boot error 1003 and just restarts the phone. Is there anything I can do to enter download mode? Thanks in advance.

Turn off the phone, hold volume up, then plug in the USB.
I didn't root my wife's G4, but I have a feeling something is going on. At first, the phone would show the LG splash screen, then go black. Went in and did a factory reset, still the same thing. I took it into a VZW store on December 23rd and they tried doing the same things... as they were doing that another guy walked in with the same issue, same exact model. Anyone know if some sort of push was done recently?
After they processed the warranty repair, I brought it home and tried to re-flash the OG firmware. Now the phone will not power on at all, no bootloader, download mode, etc.
Silver lining is that my wife wanted a phone for the holiday, so I purchased a LG V10 with the intention of returning it within 14 days... she loves the phone, I get $100 back from LG, and I sold her replacement G4 for over $250, so I actually MADE money on the deal, LOL.

Thanks for your reply. I tried as you described several times but it just starts the phone without going to download mode. I am not able to do a factory reset either. I also tried to boot into recovery using quickboot app but the phone just restarts.
If the phone won't turn on, hold down down volume and power buttons at the same time. Assuming it turns on, turn it off and hold the same buttons again while it's off and then choose clear cache. Had both the unable to turn on and it stuck on the Verizon screen the past few days and this fixed it.

Tried this method. Was able to get to recovery. After I tapped wipe cache, the phone restarted, gave the same "secure boot error! Error code 1003, Verizon logo appeared and phone restarted. I have root access. Is there a way to uproot without going into download mode?

You may want to try KDZ/TOT... http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Just a warning, that's what I tried to do and then my wife's G4 no longer powered on. I was OK because I had a warranty replacement already in progress.

Flashing KDZ/TOT needs to be in download mode. I am unable to enter the download mode or factory reset the phone. When I try to plug the usb cable with the volume up button pressed, it gives me a secure boot error 1003 and boots to system.

Interesting because on the same day I responded, I uninstalled something and rebooted and the phone rebooted and I got to see both the LG logo and the Verizon Wireless boot screen but then when I wasn't looking, it turned black as if the phone was off. Nothing would turn it on until I did the force reboot and then clear cache and the phone was back to normal again.

So you can't get into Download mode, but can boot into the OS and the "recovery" menu (sorry, I'm coming from HTC phones, so I'm on a different set of terms/boot options)? I don't know of a method that will work to fix Download mode.
I was able to factory reset the phone. First, I unrooted using the su app. Then, I downloaded the Verizon Upgrade assistant that also had a repair assistant. After clicking repair, the repair assistant took about 15 to 20 minutes and said that the phone has been repaired. I went into recovery mode and wiped cache. After that, I used the recovery menu to factory reset the phone and this time, I was successful with the factory reset. Then, I took the system update to update the software to 13b. I don't plan on rooting the phone till a custom recovery such as TWRP becomes available for this phone.

Did you ever figure out how to get it back on?
I have a SM-G925T and it started boot loop today. I tried to get into recovery mode by holding Power+VOL UP+Home but that does nothing. When I tried to go into download mode by holding Power+VOL DOWN+Home, it works fine.
Symptom:
Phone boot loops displaying only the very first Samsung screen with Galaxy s6 edge (no samsung boot animation). Once this very first logo screen comes on, the screen goes black and loops again. Even if I plug the OEM Samsung USB charging cable, screen does not show the battery charging screen, just the same Samsung Galaxy s6 edge screen.
I have already tried the following:
1. Flash stock rom using ODIN, flashed successfully, still boot loop
2. Holding Power+Vol DOWN to reset, still boot loop
3. Flash stock rom using ODIN again, flashed successfully, still boot loop
4. Let battery drain, waited 3 hours for screen to boot loop and battery died, plugged back USB charging cable back, still boot loop
5. Flick the power button many times to loosen any dirt, still boot loop
6. Hold the power button for 1 minute, 2 minute, and 3 minute, still boot loop
Please help, any advice very appreciated!
Hm, I had this 2 month ago with a S4...
Same thing, I go to my provider he checked the Handy and said I have a defect on my Mainboard... He use dos tools for Handy analysis... I flash stock with Odin, too... Success but no boot...

Hold the button combo pwr, vol down and home as if you want to go into download mode, but try to time it that immediately before the download mode screen comes on, use the Vol up, home and pwr combo and keep holding it down, till it goes into recovery. You have to time it so that right begore the download screen lites up you shift to the recovery mode 3 button combo and hold it till it goes into recovery. This works for me and how I do it all the time whether using stock recovery or TWRP.

Thanks for your suggestion Docmjldds but that didn't work either. I think I timed it within 0.5 second of the download mode screen. I always tried cancelling out of download mode and quickly holding the combo vol up, home, and pwr immediately after it and it that did not work either.

I have the solution for you my friend. Flash TWRP using oding (in download mode), then from TWRP install or flash this rom(for this you need to download the rom, connect your phone to the pc and while you have TWRP open in your screen put the file of the rom in the phone)
Rom right here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ied-development/noble-nougat-rom-1-0-t3565293
This works because this rom comes with its own bootloader and kernel.

- G925TUVU5EQC2_G925TTMB5EQC2_TMB
Stock recovery was flashed successfully as part of ROM above
I've not tried installing TWRP, could you please point me to where I can find it and how to install it? Also, would installing it trip up my knox?
I also flashed recovery.img by itself by extracting that from the ROM and converting it to recovery.tar.md5 using tar-Tool and successfully flashed recovery only but still no difference.

Flashing TWRP WILL trip knox. So, if that's a concern to you, then not much more I can tell you about that. BUT.....3.12.3 is latest ODIN. I would use THAT. Then try flashing complete stock firmware from download mode. QC2 being the last. Here is latest ODIN I attached.

PS: Have you tried turning phone off. Then power on and then immediately hold the vol up home pwr buttons combo. That should also get you into recovery mode. But that said, I would still try my last.

I used the ODIN 3.12.3 that you posted and flashed QC2 again (Passed/succeeded). Still boot loops.
I can easily get into download mode but not recovery mode. I don't know of a way to power off, just reset by holding power button or (power button and vol down). I just realized how ridiculous this sounds but is there any way to actually power off the phone without loading android and holding power button, and selecting power off? As far as I know, there's only soft reset or hard reset.
I'm pretty sure my hardware buttons work fine since I need to hold power button, vol down, and home at the same time to enter download mode perfectly. Then I have to press volume up button to enter download mode. So all the buttons that's needed to enter recovery mode (power, volume down, and home) works.
Wonder if bad battery can be be the cause? I don't get any charging indicator (screen with battery animation) when I plug phone to USB charger. Seems to be able to hold a charge but not that long, no way for me to check battery percentage though.

It's your only option right now. I was where you were and I have the same phone 925T. I flashed the rom I told you about then I flashed the stock nougat rom that just came out 2 days ago. I'm running the stock nougat and I'm happy at the moment. Battery and performance are great. I tried flashing all of the stock roms using ODIN and nothing would work but flashing that rom I linked you before worked and then I was able to go back to stock. Trip Knox sure but you will have a working phone again.
The reason why I went back to stock is because I need WIFI calling.

Before doing all this, if you don't want to void your warranty.
1-Download the stock NOUGAT, flash it using odin and then if it lets you go in recovery mode, factory reset your phone then try to boot. Give it 5-10 minutes to make sure it doesn't actually boot. I know the first boot takes a while so you will be stuck at the t-mobile logo. If after 10 minutes doesn't go on then try number 2.
2-Having the phone in download mode use the software smart switch.

So I just flashed the latest nougat stock firmware with ODIN. Flashed passed/succeeded. No difference, still boot loop Still cannot get into recovery mode but can get into download mode fine like before.
My phone is out of warranty so I'm just gonna buy a replacement battery off ebay and see if that makes any difference. Hope someone has other ideas. I'll use TWRP as a last resort. Maybe that will work but I don't know how not being able to get into stock recovery would be fixed by installing TWRP custom recovery. I suspect I would not be able to get into TWRP recovery either.

Why are you so concerned about tripping knox, since you are out of warranty anyways. And BTW it's a myth that a rooted phone loses warranty. I have had plenty of my phones covered under warranty and they were ALL rooted. With TWRP installed, you can use the advanced wipe actions to basically factory reset and load either Nougat or MM stock. I am rooted using stock just released Android 7 for TMobile firmware. Odin Firmware. Odin TWRP. Then install anything you like. Yes...knox tripped. Yes, you will lose Samsung Pay. For me not a big deal. Otherwise just fine. The warranty comany has to prove that your act of rooting caused the issue the phone has. Samsung will tell people that phone warranty is voind if rooted. But it's ONLY a line they are told to state. Again, I have used Samsung warranty direct...NOT TMobile and obtained free warranty service and my phones were rooted.

The biggest concern about tripping knox for me is that I lose Samsung Pay. It's actually the most useful thing I have on the phone. I can do pretty much every thing on my old phones that I need but it doesn't have samsung pay. I understand it's useless for most people, but for me it's the most important feature.
Do you think i would still have the same problem getting into recovery even if I flashed TWRP? Right now I can't even load stock recovery.

I really have no idea why you are having this issue. The one time my phone was so screwed up was I could ONLY fix by doing a complete factory reset including internal memory and that was via TWRP. Installing TWRP WILL kill Knox, therefore no more Samsung Pay...period. Have you tried smart switch out of curiosity?

I think my problem is worst than what you had before because I cannot even get into recovery mode not just a normal boot loop. This issue is boot loop and not being able to get into recovery mode.
I have not used smart switch yet. I was going to do an emergency software recovery but that would basically just wipe all internal memory and flash the stock rom. I thought I could save some of my data by just flashing stock rom with ODIN, which flashed perfectly every time but still boot loops.

The only thing I can think of is that your setup is so corrupted you basically have no choice here. It's kind of the old adage about knowing it's important to occasionally back up the internal data, but just never get to it. I'm kind of paranoid to every now and then make sure I have copies of stuff around. I know it's zero solace for you, but without getting into recovery mode, there is no way to get to the Internal stuff that I know of. I'm assuming you never used smartswitch to backup or just use a computer to copy paste Internal stuff to a folder for saving.

Try this stock Recovery. I found a post I made almost two years ago with a link to this file. Use the password to open the file and try ODIN again

Really appreciate your help. I'm starting to think more that it's a bad battery now. Hope that's just it instead of the main board.
I left phone on charge for a few hours (constantly boot looping the whole time). I'm able to power off the phone by holding Power button and Volume down for 10 seconds. Screen is completely off, no boot looping.
Step1: When try to simply turn phone on by holding power button for three seconds, the first samsung galaxy s6 edge logo screen pops up but then goes away and phone looks to be off. Like it's trying to get power from the battery but can't.
Step2: If I keep holding the power button, that first logo screen would turn on and off as if it's a boot loop. If I let go, then phone is off again.
Step3: If I go into download mode and select Cancel (restart phone), it goes into boot loop with only first logo screen again. It loops until I hard reset by holding power button and volume down again for 10 seconds. Then phone is off. Same thing repeats if I go back to Step1 again.
