Just repeat the installation process. You will use Odin and start over in download mode

What are the latest date stamps on the ODIN files? Are these the ones needed?
I used knoxraidv3.zip dated 2/13/2014 in slot1 on safestrap. I then followed the instructions to back out to the main screen and reboot. Not the instructions to remove the battery that I found later.
I've tried loading the ODIN files dated 1/27/2014 and have also tried to load stock v4.3 files.
Ideas?

Can't revert to 3.2 after JB flash, Odin seems to work fine.

I may have waded in over my head and need help back. Curious to checkout the jellybean AOKP build. I flashed my Tab 8.9 LTE (SGH-i957) via odin. Now I'm stranded with it. Stupidly I didn't have Clockwork Mod recovery BEFORE doing this so I have no backup of my Honeycomb.
My i957 appears to be in a boot loop replaying the Android animation. I can boot from into Jelly Bean via CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery which I installed AFTER my initial JB flash.
I've tried reflashing the [ROM][3.2]Contingency ROM 3.2 numerous times as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658243
Odin goes through the motions as expected, but it never boots past the Android animation. When shut off the green battery animation appears when plugged in as normal. I can boot into recovery and download modes of course.
I'm stuck on how to proceed. Is ClockworkMod Recovery complicating this? Can I switch to a stock recovery mode?
I've been picking through the forums. Trying this and that, but no success.
I'm using Windows XP. Kies will recognize a device but won't connect. Odin seems to be fine. I've used it before to root it and my previous Tab.

Sometimes first boot takes a long time. You are putting the stock rom in the pda slot right?
Other option is to let the battery drain

Thanks for the advice. Yes in the PDA slot without a doubt. I drained the battery - even pressing the power button until it stopped vibrating.
After a brief partial charge. I rebooted. Still no luck.

I flashed TWRP. Still the loop in normal boot. In recovery boot TWRP was successful flashed over CWM recovery. I tried flashing the stock ROM again. No change. I guess I asked for it. I'd be the first to say I'm in over my head, but I've never had issues before- all the way to my fun times with Maemo and my Nokia N800 & N810.
Is there another step for me? I suppose I could try on another PC, but Odin appears to working normally. I was able to successfully flash TWRP so I'm thinking that not going to help.

Yes I see that now in recovery mode. Rebooting from here still gives the AT&T loop.
What should I do else should I do from here to proceed? Reset? Wipe partition?

It has SGH-i957 on the rear, on the download mode screen and that how its always recognized by Google and by Kies (when it works). Its a U.S. AT&T LTE device. I've tried flashing again the ROM from Sammobile, but it still loops. Sigh.
It's BACK! A testament to never giving up and help from orlandoxpolice! In 3e I reset it and it rebooted.Honeycomb never looked so good.
Glad you fixed it. I was confused because odin to stock usually fixes everything.

Help! Can't return to stock

Hey guys, any info on this would be great.
Have a ATT Note 3... It boots into recovery and Download mode..
Basically, I was going to install knoxraid, wiped /system /data, but didn't have the rom file to flash.
Then, rebooted phone, and it will go into stock recovery but not safestrap.
Please help... I know it can't be completely bricked.
I tried unbrick-soft-bricked-att-galaxy-note-3-sm-900a but it fails
(also, I am sure Samsung drivers are installed)

I believe you are going to have to Odin back with the Odin JB files. Their is three of them. I see if I can find you more info as to what to do.

What version of SafeStrap did you have installed ? 3.7.1 or 3.7.2
Dude. Wait. If you wiped system you have no rom..All you have to do is use your computer and download a rom and push to your sd card. Then use stock or recovery to flash. Lol. I did this on my nexus once. Anyway it's simple fix.

I would say you could revert to MJ5 link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715. Read it to the T. This will put the MJ5 4.3 back on your phone. You don't need safestrap to revert back to MJ5 method. You can root and install safestrap back on when its installed. Just do steps 1-9 if you don't want to root this method. don't worry about this download link ( https://mega.co.nz/#F!icMTnSQY!bMBNFmUnn2_K8olSTYpwIA (mirror provided by drakeymcmb) i'ts just a mirror for the ml9 fix.image ext4.

Alright, I'll follow this eexact. I am not new to flashing and ROM mods. (Been doing it since the s2). I normally would push via ADB, use a custom recovery and be set. But, just picked up the note 2… and ADB wouldnt detect the phone to push ROM.. (Using ADB device). So, anyways.... I know I have to use ODIN. I know its not fubard because the phone boots into download and stock recovery mode.
Thanks everyone, I really want to get this fix. Luckily I have a nexus 5 as well.

We can't use the old way to get into our or past our bootloaders. If you follow everything on revert to MJ5 steps 1-9 that should give you bootable verse of MJ5 4.3. If you still want root and stay on MJ5 ok. If you want the next software fix then don't root yet then try to get the NB4 patch then you can root with Kingo 1.18.

When i boot up the phone, it says the process system has not running wait or ok, when i push ok or wait. after about 40 seconds the phone just freezes up.

Need help with having my note 4 boot again.

Decided to use the twrp app to update my recovery and now it doesnt boot at all, hangs at the recovery booting screen then shows me a screen with like odin info.
I need some major help, I think i have a solution with the PC, however I'm running ubuntu and I'm not sure if odin will work on this. Been trying how to learn if there is a way i can work with odin but every odin + ubuntu/linux tutorial is very outdated
That was the misstep... You don't want to use the trwp app for twrp updates... I have heard that is like a 100% fail ratio... Might have to stary from scratch and odin rom, odin twrp, then go from there... I would just keep clear of the play store twrp app, and stick to odin with twrp updates...

Yes!! That's what i did. I've tried using that twrp app for all my devices. Each time it's bootlooped them until i flash image in recovery. Glad you figured it out too! Without full wipe! !
