My Verizon galaxy note 3 has stopped booting up. Can I try to boot up my phone without an sd card plus sim card not installed? The reason I asked is because I have tried everything and Im at a dead end. My phone gets as far as the galaxy logo and does nothing after that. Please help me solve the brick issue. Thank you

not sure on sim cards, but the sd card is fine to take out with no issue.

did you do anything before this happened? is the phone rooted?

You can boot without the SIM card, but that's not the issue - a bad SIM card doesn't cause a soft brick.

Check in the Verizon Note 3 section on XDA to see if they have a way to reflash the stock ROM. Someone's done it on the AT&T version, so it's probable that someone's done it on the Verizon version too. (They'd have had to - or destroy a lot of phones - to get rooting and Safestrap working, which was done on the Verizon version first.)

You should be able to use Odin and download the MJE stock ROM to flash it back to stock. Look for the version Beans has on XDA, if you can't find it I'll look for the link. To my limited knowledge, there hasn't been a rooted phone that couldn't be rescued unless it was a hardware failure. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
