I soft bricked my note 3 trying to flash TWRP via flashify following this thread Easy way 2 install TWRP recovery whit just simple apk... when i turn on the phone all it says is Rebooting Recovery.. then just goes in a bootloop.. i cant get into download mode it just stays in a recovery boot loop.
No matter what i do it stays in that loop, Taking the battery out and Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button nothing works it stays on that loop not letting me get into download mode at all.
It says recovery booting in blue then
recovery is not something enforcing in red Something because i can't read what the heck it says
set warranty bit : recovery in yellow and back to the loop

my phone is currently on 4.4.4 rooted
Why did i follow a thread by someone with a post count of 12????? i should have known better.

Have you tried a battery pull and booting into download mode? (vol down+home+power)? Then, volume up to confirm.
Once in download mode, you can use odin to install your custom (or stock) recovery.
Also, if you want your phone to boot, try the battery pull, start the boot into download mode, but cancel with a volume down.

Had to mess with it for a while , it would not come out of the loop or go into download mode either. After leaving the battery out for an hour or so i tried again finally got it into download mode , but odin would not see the phone, eventually it did but every time i tried to flash the tar of TWRP it would fail, i downloaded it more than once in case it was corrupt but it will always fail. i was using the last version of TWRP 2.8.3.0.
Downloaded another version of TWRP 2.8.0.0 and the first time i flashed it worked.
Thanks for asking sir.
