I'm running on a stock rooted phone, and AT&T tells me that I have a software update available. As I tried to update, my phone restarts and it just goes straight to the TWRP screen. Any idea of what to do?
You need stock recovery to flash update.

Easy way if you have TWRP is to flash the Guru_Reset and during install choose stock recovery and say no to Root

Flash the stock firmware through KDZ updater. This will bring your stock ROM back. Search the forums for it.
Okay, So the title pretty much says it all. I am stuck at the Samsung boot logo (not bootanimation) and it only shows for about 1 second then reboots and continues.
This started after I tried to flash a rom and it messed up and I tried to flash via odin. I was on MJ9 and and got a bootloop so I did the odin thing. I've used odin before but it is not working well for me now.
I am able to boot into download mode but TWRP no longer works. I was able to flash via odin and it says success but the phone does not reboot like it should.
I have purchased a galaxy nexus on the cheap to hold me over until the nexus 6 is out but if I can fix my note, I would like to.
I know there were other threads about this same issue but it seems that they are all on a different version of the note, or on a s3 or something. Not to mention, I don't see anything that I could try without asking for some help on here. Can someone maybe point me in the direction of the factory firmware (preferably a rootable or already rooted version) that I can flash that will play well with my note.
Thanks guys!!!

Before you tried to flash a custom ROM and things went wonky...were you on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9 firmware, or on Beanstown106’s modified 4.3 MJ9 with TWRP installed?
Does the phone still boot into stock recovery? If so, you may be able to fix the phone by doing a factory reset.

If you were on Verizon's factory stock 4.3 MJ9, then you won't be able to Odin flash back to 4.1.2 or any earlier Android version because the bootloader has been locked down tight on 4.3 (and 4.4.2) with no current do it yourself method to unlock for those newer versions. You would want to restore the phone back to factory stock 4.3 though, if that's what version you were on before your phone got messed up. You can root the phone on 4.3 with saferoot, then use safestrap recovery to flash some custom Touchwiz ROM's.
If you were on the 4.1.2 based bootloader, (but running Beanstown106’s MJ9 firmware and TWRP), then you would want to restore your phone back to factory stock 4.1.2 and then root and unlock the bootloader again with CASUAL. This would give you the most flexibility with flashing custom kernels, ROM's, etc...
Check out Section 1b in Droidstyle's restore guide at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. The guide has download links for the files you'll need to restore the phone back to the correct build version.
I rooted my LG G3 with StumpRoot. Everything went fine and I had successful root. Checked it and all. Then I flashed the new Barren ROM (v1) and I lost root. I tried re-running StumpRoot and StumpRoot is claiming I already have my device is already rooted. However, any application that requires root or Superuser, it says that root is not detected. I have Superuser on my phone.
Did you flash through TWRP?
Can you still boot into recovery, and does TWRP come up as your recovery?
This ^^^^^
I have no idea how you can lose root when it's built into it.
Now if you took the OTA update then you will lose root.
Then you have to revert back to zv4 via Flashtool if you want root again.
The FAQ, and the ZV6 threads have all to info you need.

I don't know how I lost root either. I did not do any OTA updates. All I did was "Update Profile" to get my data working again. I've rooted and flashed roms on many phones, never had this issue until the G3.

Did you unlock the bootloader with "Bump", so you have TWRP?
Then just flash the Rom again. Or any Rom for that matter

I downloaded the TWRP listed on some thread on Sprint LG G3 then used flashify on my rooted G3 to flash it, after that I flashed the custom ROM using TWRP.
Since then, I tried to boot into recovery (power+volume down) and it just booted into safe mode.
Also, if/when I do boot it into recovery, should I also try flashing a SuperSU rom too?

The only thing I can think of is that the download was corrupt. I would try flashing TWRP with Flashify again. If that works, then reinstall SuperSU. That should get you root back. Then download a ROM again, verify the MD5, and flash in TWRP.
If Flashify won't run, then try reinstalling SuperSU, and see if that helps. If not, I think you'll have to revert to the stock ZV4 ROM with LG's Flashtool.
I suggest the Barrin V2 ROM. It's the latest version of Barren, built on the ZV6 ROM instead of ZV4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-barrin-odexed-deodexed-t2950747
I tried using flashify and it gave me an error saying I needed root. I tried booting intorecovery husing the instructions and it either just boots up regularly or goes into safe mmode. Have I bricked my phone to this Rom?
Revert to stock as explained here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042
Then reroot, and start over.
Hi everyone. First time posting on the forums and unfortunately it's because of a major problem . So here's my situation:
A couple days ago I decided i would try to update my phone to 5.0 because the update was pushed OTA for the ls990. It supposedly installed with no error, but when it went to reboot it took me straight into my custom recovery. Now when i try to restore from backup, flash a new rom, or wipe the system it will say it was successful, but nothing will change and each time i reboot it takes me right back into recovery. I've tried booting into system or bootloader, but both of those options take me right back into recovery. If i pull the battery and wait then repower the phone it takes me right back into recovery. I need some help here because my phone is practically bricked, yet i still have access to ONLY recovery mode. During each reboot the LG logo does flash on the screen (not sure if that info is useful though). Here's what i'm running:
Specs:
Rooted and Bumped Sprint LG G3 (ls990)
Stock ROM
TWRP Recovery
Maybe this happened because it was a stock update and i didn't have stock android recovery for it to complete the upgrade? My /boot folder appears to be empty in TWRP, but im not sure if that's just because its not even mounting it or if im actually missing a kernel, bootloader, or something else. ANY help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Your gonna have to restore using this guide. It did happen because you were on custom recovery, anytime you want stock upgrade, you must unroot it and put stock recovery back on 1st. It's not bricked if it comes on, only softbricked, which can be fixed with download mode. That guide is well written.
sent from my LG G3
also it was not the android 5.0 update..
Try this first before using the LG Flash tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508
It should hopefully save you from wiping the phone completely.
Thanks

I reverted to stock firmware using the instructions on that thread and now everything is working! Thank you very much.
Now the only problem is that it seems the new sprint update patched the stump root exploit. Guess ill have to do the firmware flash again lol.

I think you need zv4 firmware to avoid this problem.

Thank you very much, It works like a chime
I have this problem in yunique i only instaled twrp and it is rebooted into recovery menu but i can't restart my phone it is always going to recovery menu when trying to restart
Select reboot --> Boot to bootloader
When in fastboot
type
fastboot devices
then type
fastboot continue
This will fix the twrp loop issue.
I rooted and installed TWRP recovery. I want to update my stock rom with the OTA update. The update is downloaded to my phone, but won't update, re-boots and goes into TWRP. I think I need to first install a stock recovery, but I can't find one. If I find the stock recovery will that allow me to update OTA.

As long as you haven't modified your rom you should be able to take the OTA with a STOCK recovery. You can find them here.
Also you might want to unroot before taking the OTA then reroot afterwards.
Got the ota and clicked install by mistake with stock recovery and root. It failed and had to do a battery pull to get it to boot. So yeah I'd unroot just in case.
I unrooted and installed stock recovery, but update failed?
