So you created a nandroid backup and then restored it successfully?

I hope this works via external SD as well

I forgot to mention yesterday that I have restored successfully from internal and external sd. Also flashed my rom from both. All good. 9005 by the way.

Wipe Cache & Wipe Delvik Cache !

In my testing and messing around with the CWM on 2x Note n9005 I found out that the Wipe Cache And Wipe Dalvik Makes the units do 3X Bootloops or even continues bootloops. Don't Use the Wipe Cache And Wipe Dalvik . The good news is if you have a nandroid backup before the Wipe Cache And Wipe Dalvik the will fix the bootloops. Hope that helps !

I have not met you this situation, I just tested a few times, after the update app process, the phone can start properly .

Good to know at least one recovery is fully functional. Ive been using twrp for years but its been such a pain on my s4 and been more of a pain on N3 I may just make the switch back to CWM.

Can't confirm this. I wiped cache and dalvik and had no bootloops.

Boot back in download mode and flash stock fw for your device

This is the only mode I can boot to.
I had the same thing happen to me just from flashing a recovery via Odin. It froze half way on flashing, so i pulled the plug and got that error. I just booted back in download mode, and in my case re-flashed the recovery and it passed, booted back up fine.

I can boot to 'Download Mode' now, had to pulled out the battery.

Skies - Recovery still fails
ODIN - Original Firmware fails too - screenshot posted

I think I may have soft-bricked my phone :(

What exactly caused your softbrick? Did you flash anything or do a restore?

1) I rooted using 'Root de la Vega', flashing 2 files AP and CSC - This went fine and the Note 3 was rooted.
2) Flashed 'Vega' ROM' SM-N9005XXUBMJ3-OXABMJ1-ROOT-DE-LA-VEGA-ODEX - As I wanted to removed Samsung bloatware - This went fine
3) Flashed CWM - n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1011).tar - As I want to flash custom roms - This went fine
4) Flashed ' X-NOTE build 2.0 N9005 MJ1 (europe)' - Wanted to try this rom, this went fine
5) Flashed back to 'Vega' ROM' SM-N9005XXUBMJ3-OXABMJ1-ROOT-DE-LA-VEGA-ODEX - This went fine
6) Ran 'Samsung GALAXY Note 3 Cleaner v0.4' - This went fine, no errors (Samsung Apss removed)
7) Flash CWM - n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4(1011).tar - As I want to flash custom roms - This errored 'Must let Reactivaion Lock off first(Settings--General--security) - I did this but the system settings crashed several times.

Since then I have tried Skies Emergency Firmware Recovert with Code and Odin 3.09 - Stock Firmware - Both Failed.
I think the device is in write-protected mode.

OK - I did deselect that but the settings application crashed several times, so that wasnt deselected.
I have flashed Stock Kernel MJ3, the phone boots normally but requires 'Reactivation'. Dont remember activating previously, but the phone is unstable, I cant enter an email / password as the Samsung Keyboard crashes.

I will continue tomorrow.

The best course of action would be to factory reset and/or reflash stock firmware after all that bad flashing and start over from scratch. And dont forget to uncheck reactivation lock when your done! But glad your booting up now.
