I recently tried to root my phone but i became aware that the new OS on this phone wont allow root so i ended up with a soft brick phone. i undid it and now this is what im stuck with, i have no idea what to do and i cant even sign into to my google account to access the phone. When i click on the green android to get started it just pops back up and i press force close and it just repeats from there. PLEASE HELP ME!! Oh yeah ive also tried to factory reset the phone by pressing volume up and down but i just get all these green dots on my screen (galaxy looking) so i take out the battery but i need to fix this asap!

Dude calm down, it is not a big deal (at least I don't think so). Just go back to recovery (twrp or cwm). Re-flash the ROM you used or if you have a backup then restore from there

Can you still get into recovery? If you can, fixing it will be like eating pie

im pretty sure that ive never been able to get into recovery, even when i had factory restored my phone. when i do the recovery start method (hold volume down and power) it tends to just cycle through the LG symbol to a box with an arrow pointing out to a little android man. which then loops around to the LG symbol again. any time i do this, it just eventually normal starts my phone, which puts the eagles blood symbol, then the phone shuts down.
When the little android appears, you must press menu button (on the left), one time only. If you wait or you press many times, the phone will reboot normally and will skip the recovery mode.

yeah when i click the menu button, (and i am assuming that the one you are referring to is the menu button on the actual phone) it doesnt even register that i click it, and continues to try and boot normally
is there a way for me to just unroot/ or revert back to the old way my phone was?
FIXED
UPDATE :
Thanks for all your help guys i finally figured out what went wrong.
1: firstly i used the incorrect method of flashing the recovery on my phone (i did it through clockwerk, and if you did this your screwed pretty much)
2: i did not have the gapps on my sd card when i ran the ice cream sandwich install.
i used this method to force flash the recovery on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
then i repeated the correct process on the ICS website, (this time with the gapps on my sd card)
The ICS rom is now running full force and i love every bit of it (though i feel like a caveman with a stick) and i am having fun re-discovering my phone
much love and thanks

Okay so, Im a noob at all this and this was my first attempt at unlocking the bootloader.
I followed a website and I tried unlocking the bootloader.
I thought I did it right.
So when the phone restarted, it went to the "Android is optimising" screen
I wasnt there when it happened but when i returned, there were all these popups saying everything crashed (clock, settings, ANDROID)
So i tried shutting it down and hoped that when i restarted it, it would do the optimising again and work
So i restarted, but as soon as the Motorola start screen finished ( the spinning globe thing) the whole phone would crash and would be stuck on a blank black screen.
I can still access the Fastboot screen thing by pressing the Volume down and Power buttons.
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
Please make it detailed or very simple because again, I AM A NOOB D:
PLEASE HELP ME D:

Go into recovery and do a data factory reset and clear the caches, that should solve the problem.
how?

Have a look in here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537119 - all the questions and important news are there.
ALSO
You know that after you unlocked your bootloader all your data is gone? You can flash one of the 4.4 images available using one of the tutorials here on XDA (not a shaddy site on the interwebz)

im sorry, do YOU know how to do it exactly???
and yea i made a backup of all my data (apps, phone stuff like contacts etc.)
Reboot into bootloader, pick recovery, at the picture, press volume up and power at the same time, then use the volume keys to navigate the menu and power key to select.
Note that the recovery is actually broken and the option you have highlighted isn't actually the one that it will select, so you'll have to experiment a little to get the wipe data one.
Did it but back at square ONE D:

Well, i did what you said, when the phone first restarted it got stuck at the globe part so i held power and restarted.
BUT it went to the android is optimising screen. Things were really looking up at that moment but to my luck, it showed the 'message' -.-
"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."
IM REALLY SAD D:
can you please help more?
thanks though because what you said worked just that a new problem came
EDIT: Okay so just after finishing the previous post ^ and going to bed ( cuz i live in NZ ) i kept doing your idea. after 2 or 3 tries IT WORKED DDD
So i tried making sure everything was working. I tried doing that "Motorola Protect Your Phone" thing that wont go from your notification screen unless you do it. But i couldnt because it said -
"The Phone radio is unable to connect to the network. Make sure the radio is on, or if it is on, move into an area with better coverage and try again."
So whats the radio?
I was assuming it was my thing which sends texts and calls but i could text just fine. Is it WiFi? because at the moment i dont have WiFi ;P
Im just getting a bit scared because i read somewhere ( idk where) that your phones radio could get ruined if you attempted to unlock the bootloader O:
Sorry for being so annoying
Thanks for helping me
PLEASE HELP AGAIN D:
So I guess i followed an outdated tutorial! My phone ever since the ota update months ago destroyed my battery life felt sluggish and constant reboots. Today i followed a tutorial to install rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery so I can delete dalvik cache. On reboot i get "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”
So now after I realized that the bootloader is locked,
1) Is there a way I can get my phone to work again.
2) But MOST importantly, did I completely screw up and lost any of my pictures saved on the phone?
I'm posting here because everything I look up online is either outdated or I am afraid to break things more. So I would like someone to help me.
Thanks.
P.S. Im pretty sure I had the newest OTA which is 4.4 i think. And the phone was Rooted with towelroot. I can also boot into downloading mode.
Update: Ok so I pressed down + home + power to download mode but this time I pressed Down to cancel and the phone booted to my homescreen. I'm kind of scared to never ever restart my phone. Is my data safe? why booting this way work?
Thank you.

On the newest kk OTA you can't run a custom recovery other than safestrap. Unsure if your data is safe at this point since you've created a soft brick

well I don't think this is a soft brick since now I can boot like normal. If I shut off the phone and restart it it boots fine. The only thing now is if i press home +power +up i get that message. So not sure how to delete the recovery and undo what i did.

You will have to Odin back to stock that's basically your only choice. And if it was a hard brick your phone wouldn't work at all

Thanks bro. I'll leave it like this until I have time to do a backup. I need a new phone anyways because of the battery drain. Is there a method or app you recommend to do a back up

If you can get into recovery and make a backup it's worth a shot. And yea I understand what you mean about battery drain. I love my S3 and I will probably never get rid of it. Try to get into recovery if you can and if not we will go from there

Here's an unbrick tutorial: http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
Report back on how it went.
i will try that for sure but i forgot to mention one more problem, while i try to access my recovery mode by using home+ volume up + power button, nothing happens. only my screen flickers for some time and then i get back to the samsung galaxy note 2 logo. if i leave the button, my screen( above the home key, back key and options key) vibrates but nothing on display.
I think you only need download mode to unbrick, not recovery

Awesome! Also, you could just hit the thanks button instead of a new post
If you want root you're probably better off flashing TWRP through ODIN and then flashing supersu.zip using TWRP.

Bought this phone and didn't like it. Felt like my G3 was a better phone, so I went and bought myself the Note 5. Anyways....
I backed up everything from my G4 and did Factory reset. Now when I try to setup the phone, I complete the last step and I'm greeted with the "Unfortunately, LGSetupWizard has stopped" Message and then it returns to the first setup (choose language) screen. Just happens over and over. I just have this phone and don't know what to do. I really don't want to flash the PR stock file to my phone. Does anyone know of a solution or some sort of setup bypass?
Thanks in advance
do a hard reset, turn off the device, then hold volume down and press the power button until the lg logo comes up, release the power button and immediately press it again until you boot into the factory reset. Keep the volume down button pressed continuously until the factory reset screen comes up.
Yea, I tried that a while back but still the same problem...

Did you root before? replaced some app to system? I have this problem before cause of deodex home..but still can access it..
If you can reach wifi setting after start screen, try to pull status bar down...then go to setting>home screen>select home..
My advice is you have to reflash stock image but the problem will be MTP mode..
download sg usb mass storage enabler for access storage via pc..
Yes the phone was rooted.
I don't think I debloated by removing system apps. I think my problem might have came from using the debloated tool by gatesjunior. Though nothing of it when I reset the phone. If disabling the apps wasn't the problem then I guess I did go delete system apps.
But if I deleted Setupwizard, I wouldn't have the setup at all correct?

Still nothing. I brought it to a ATT device support center and they'd replace it but there was non in stock, so ATT will send me one in 4 bussiness days.
The device center will swap out the phone if they can't fix it and once its under its 1yr manufacture warranty. You don't ATT mobile insurance either. I had my Note 4 swapped out by them in store before.
You should just have to reflash the system img and it would work.

I had this problem too.. Couldn't find an answer short of flashing it to PR... After a loooooong time on the phone with AT&T tech support, finally did an RMA... Send the other one back this morning, I hope it doesn't come back and bite me later bc it was rooted.
I had serious thoughts of flashing an international system image to it so it could brick. But couldn't bring myself to do it...
I would however like to know what I did to get that.. I did just like the OP and did a simple factory reset. I did delete a few things from system manually, but that was mainly att stuff and Google books, magazines etc. I haven't rooted the new one yet bc now I'm skeptical on doing anything with this damn phone.

It happened because system cannot access lg setup wizard apk, either its been delete or froze.
