my phone was rooted and everything was fine, until i downloaded setCpu. And decided to overclock my S3 using this tutorial: http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/03/how-to-overclock-the-samsung-galaxy-s3-t-mobile/ . After that my phone won't boot and I can't access recovery menu. It only opens to show the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen for two or three secs then black screen. PLEASE HELP

If you hold the volume up home and power button on that screen you should be able to get into recovery
If you are planning on rooting it then I wouldn't recommended flashing the stock ROM because of the new Knox. If you try to root the new stock ROM it will void your warranty
Stock- dowload Samsung Kies. Go to tools, upgrade initialisation. Type in your phone info found beneath the battery
Custom- download Cayanfox ROM flash it in recovery

Your battery could also be dead after flashing. If this is the case it will probably have problems charging. In this case you would need another s3 battery with some charge to get into recovery
What message pops up in windows when you connect to PC ? Does the Red Light blink on the phone ?

It sounds like you soft bricked the phone.
Do you have a nandroid backup?
If you do just hold the volume down & home keys then push the power button on until it vibrates once. Let go of the power button and it should boot into the recovery mode. Restore the backup & you should be fine

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 problem as OP, and I can not get into download mode either. If I do as above, it still goes on booting .

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 thought I was going to have to factory reset my phone like other forums suggested and lose everything. Thanks to your suggestion I was able to get out of recovery reboot loop. Thank you!
Thanks for your help, you are a lifesaver lol! I saved so much money and time because of you. Have a great day

My Fix
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!
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.

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.

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?
Hi,
I had rooted my honor pro 8 one week back, had to reinstall custom ROM. I got some error in TWRP. Through Multi tool I had to relock boot loader and again unlock boot loader. After unlocking the boot loader, it asked for factory reset . I did that, but it is stuck at 99%. If I press power button and restart it again starts from 1% and gets hanged at 99% as Factory low level reset. I am not able to even access to fastboot as it keeps looping back to same screen. I have tried update.app with SD card as well. But Vol +, Vol - and power buttons are not working, it goes back to same screen of reset.
Can anyone please help...
Update from SD always works. Ensure USB C is not connected to anything before pressing vol+and vol-

just flash this with Odin :https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.13.3.zip and you are good to go : https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__A70__/edhk/SEK/A705FNXXU3ASJ3/A705FNOXM3ASJ3/
hope you have managed to solve the problem. if not then try the following
1) keep pressing all three hardware buttons until the phone reboots. this should force the handset to reboot.
2) if that doesn't work then let the power drain out. once its shut. connect it to the pc/laptop while pressing the power+volume up key until u boot into recovery from there boot into bootloader and flash the stock os again.
hope this helps.
