Ok so I got stuck in a boot loop(hung up on the Samsung screen) and used the MD5 file I found here with Odin and thought it would take me back to stock as the thread suggested. Everything went fine, Odin gave me the big green pass and auto rebooted, but it's still stuck on the Samsung screen and won't boot all the way.
Now I've used Odin a few times before but Samsung devices usually are not my thing. Having flashed,rooted and modded every device I have ever owned I have never NOT been able to fix one. However, I'm at a loss as to why it's not returning to stock. I must be missing something and what I don't know.
Any help in getting me back to a functioning device would be appreciated since I just got it for Xmas.
Boot into recovery, turn off device, hold volume up and power until samsung logo appears.
wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
Should boot now....
You know, it would help emmensely if you told us what you flashed or linked the thread you used. Also your device model.
it is normal if you go from JB to stock ICS you need to do a complete wipe by going into stock recovery and then restart the note will boot

Thanks for confirming the button combo, I was sure that was it but couldn't get into it to save my life. Too long holding down I suppose because letting go quicker got me right there and I was able to get it out of the bl.
Thanks for the help
After updating to Jelly Jean I've decided to wipe the phone in order to start clean and that's when everything started.
After wiping the phone it just didn't turn on automatically and everytime I've tried to do it I ended up on an Android animation, the same we get when we update the system, and anything happens, the animation goes away and the screen gets black.
So I've searched and found a way to get into the boot options and selected "Normal Boot" and everything seemed to be fine, but then I went out of baterry and after a full charge the Android animation came back. I did all the boot thing over again and now everytime I have to restart the phone I have to boot manually.
Can you guys help me?
Had exactly the same pub when I upgraded from its to job ota... And it's not the first time I read about this here. The only stable fix for me was to download rsd lite + the full firmware and to flash it through fast boot mode. This definitely looks like a corrupted upgrade.
I'm gonna send it back to Moto. Thanks for helping.
Please help, ive read almost every post about this but none seems to work for me, i was on LEGORom, and today i decided to go back to 4.0.4, the susprise was when i got stuck on the M logo(the one with the waves) its moves three times and then i just see the M logo and nothing more, im able to get into fastboot, and conect to Rsdlite, i have flashed multiple times and the problem still there, also i did a factory reset via the stock recovery and the same issue, also i did the other method to flash the tom, and also to flash only the system and nothing seemed to work out.
Please i need some help.
Something that i notice watching the how to flash via rsd lite video on youtube is that my phone doesnt show up anything in the "device properities" part, is blank but that does not stop the flashing.
Thats everything that i did today, i hope someone can help me
edit1: on my pc it shows on devices properities all N/A but still the M logo stuck
Did you wipe everything before flashing?
Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to help my friend with his soft-bricked G3. He wasn't rooted and had never even played with flashing anything, it just stopped booting one day and would display the "LG Life's Good" boot screen for a few seconds before going black and then just repeating this endlessly. I was able to get into recovery and download mode so I used the tot method to flash back to stock after a hard reset just produced the same results.
When I flashed the stock firmware, everything appeared to work fine, it went through the MiniOS bootup and everything, said success, gave me the hard reset status screen so when it finished I pulled the battery as instructed and rebooted but the phone still has the same issue. I have tried to run factory reset through recovery now that I flashed the new firmware and it still does the same thing, just hangs at the boot screen for a few seconds before going black and then trying again, endlessly.
Has anyone encountered this before? Is it bricked?
Thanks.

Pretty common prob plug it in to the wall charge see if it boots sometimes it still wont but most of the time it will the battery quality on the g3 is crap they last at most a year with a few exceptions i would first order a battery.
Hey guys,
Sorry if the answer to this found somewhere else, tried searching but foud nothing for my situation.
My buddy, who is a super basic user and was not attempting to do anything with his phone, has a G4 that suddenly stopped working and went into a boot loop.
We tried factory resetting it and it got about half way through the apps before stopping, going back into a boot loop and was unable to get back to the same point in the factory reset.
I tried flashing the ROM using LGUP to H811-20o and it said that it went successfully on LGUP as well as the phone itself, but after it rebooted it went back into a boot loop.
Now the boot loop goes faster but is still looping and we cannot get back into download mode to try again or potentially try a different ROM. It goes to the first screen of download mode with the 5 blue dots but doesn't get past that, I've removed the battery waited for a while in between attempts and still nothing.
We can get to the factory reset screen and click yes, it will then go to the green android guy with his cog wheels exposed but then immediately goes back into a boot loop.
Any help is appreciated, even if its just a confirmation of being SOL.
