I have installed TWRP for my I747, and now whenever i power on my phone, it goes straight to recovery mode, leaving me stuck there. Basically my phone is bricked, does anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks!

That's the exact problem that occurs when TWRP either wasn't flashed properly, was flashed with a semi-corrupted file, or the wrong version of TWRP was flashed. Even if you think you picked the right TWRP file (d2lte not d2att), it might have gotten corrupted along the way being transferred to your device. I'd try flashing it again.
I think the problem was that when I installed the newer version of TWRP using image flash image tool in TWRP 2.8.7.0, I flashed the image into the boot partition, as well as the recovery. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm not really understanding what you mean, how the hell did you flash TWRP as your "boot partition"? Either way, if that's the case, just use TWRP itself to flash a ROM file. As long as you don't mind wiping your phone, but I'm assuming that's moot since you're installing TWRP anyway.
When installing a new image, there is an option install the .img file into the either the recovery partition or boot partition, and I accidentally clicked the boot partition. Anyways, is there a way I can flash a recovery image to the boot partition? I'm currently stuck in recovery mode, and i don't know how to install a recovery image while stuck in that. I'm pretty sure flashing a recovery .img file would fix... if only I knew how lol. Thanks for all of you help so far.
When you flash a .IMG file in TWRP, you can choose to flash it to the boot partition or the recovery partition. The default pre-select is boot. What he's saying is that he accidentally flashed it to /boot, which is why he's boot looping to recovery.Again, I'm not sure what you mean. You know the TWRP file you flashed is a "recovery image", right? In the sense that it is an image file for a replacement recovery mode. So you're in recovery, but your bootloader is also recovery. What you need to do, is in that recovery that you have working, use the "install" button to install an actual ROM image file. Whether it be stock ROM or rooted ROM or custom ROM, whatever one you want for your phone. That should work if I'm understanding your situation correctly.

landroid2000, try re-flashing your ROM inside TWRP. That should overwrite the boot kernel with the normal ROM kernel and let you boot normally. If that fails, then you'll need to use Odin to flash the stock Samsung ROM so that it'll restore everything back to the way it was. I guess the good news is that you're device isn't totally hooped; it's just borked.

Not through wireless. But do you have a Micro SD card that you can copy the ROM to? If so, you can flash it from the card.Okay. I'm going to try to reflash the ROM. Is it possible to download the ROM to my phone while in recovery? Because right now my computer doesn't recognize my phone when it's stuck in recovery.
I don't recall that being an option on d2att. You can backup efs with TWRP other devices I have.
So finally we have the long pending TWRP update: twrp-2.6.3.1
Go get it!!
