So here is my universal method tested on the GT-N8013 US variant of the note 10.1 to recover from a bootloop.
Follow this guide exactly and you should be back to normal on JB or ICS (your choice)
1) Boot into download mode, and flash the stock JB or ICS (this will be your choice)
Get CWM High on Android from max at rootgalaxynote.com heres the link http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...t-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
The file you want is the root galaxy note 10.1 zip.
2) Open ODIN and flash Max's CWM high on android.
3) Reboot Recovery will work now. BUT WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE IT WILL AUTO REBOOT, SO WHEN THE SCREEN GOES BLACK AFTER YOU SWITCH IT OFF IMMEDIATELY START HOLDING VOLUME UP PLUS POWER. WAIT FOR THE SAMSUNG Galaxy note 10.1 LOGO TO FLASH ON TWICE. LET GO OF POWER AND CONTINUE HOLDING VOLUME UP, WAIT UNTIL CWM RECOVERY STARTS!!
4) Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache three times each in that order.
5) Reboot and wait up to 10minutes for the device to boot VOILA!!! You have your not3 back on stock JB or ICS whichever you originally flash!*
:goodlease donate, thumbs up, and share if this helps you! And thanks to max at rootgalaxynote.com for the great CWM recovery zip!:good:

Well, I've been trying to work my way through this one, but I'm unable to find an answer. I tried to flash the UCLD2 firmware ICS leak on my SR and it didn't work, and now the phone goes on an endless boot loop. My phone was rooted with stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6) and I had clockworkmod installed. I did a full back up with Titanium Backup as well. I saw a page in android authority detailing how to flash it using clockwork mod and followed the clockworkmod method:
Flashing via ClockworkMod Recovery
NOTE: You will be needing a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) installed. Check out our guide on how to root your Samsung Galaxy S2 skyrocket. You can also refer to this guide on how to root your phone running Android 4.0.3 UCALC4 firmware. For ClockworkMod Recovery, check this guide on how to flash ClockworkMod Touch Recovery to your phone.
Download the following to your computer:
Download the CWM-flashable UCLD2 package from here (skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip, md5sum: 5cb721bcacdadf7de2b0b9f041acc114).
Download the root fix file from here (su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip, 164 kB).
Download the Facebook and Samsung keyboard fix here (UCLD2FontHotfix.zip, 226 kB).
Copy the skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip, su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip, and UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to the root of your phone’s SD card.
Switch off your mobile phone.
Reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do that, press the Volume Up key, Volume Down key, and Power button simultaneously until Recovery Mode boots. NOTE: Once in Recovery Mode, use the Volume keys to navigate and Power button to select an option.
Perform a full wipe by doing the following:
Go to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and confirm the action on the next screen.
Select Wipe Cache Partition and confirm the action on the next screen.
From the main menu, select Advanced. From there, select Wipe Dalvik Cache and confirm the action on the next screen.
Go to Mounts and Storage and select Format /system on the next screen. Select Yes on the next screen to begin formatting your system.
Go back to the main menu and select Install ZIP from SD Card. Select Choose ZIP from SD Card and highlight the skyrocket-ucld2-ics-leak.zip. Confirm the action on the next screen to begin flashing the ZIP file to your phone.
Repeat step 6 but this time flash su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip to your phone. You will meet an error message after flashing this file. Just ignore the error message.
NOTE: Ignore the error after flashing this file. Just go to Superuser and make an update after booting your phone.
Flash the UCLD2FontHotfix.zip file in the same manner as in step 6.
After installing the 3 files, go back to the main menu and select Advanced. From there, select Fix Permissions.
Go back to the main menu and select Reboot system now to restart your mobile phone.
Once your phone has rebooted into Normal Mode, launch the Superuser app and update the su binaries.
Congratulations! You have successfully updated your Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket SGH-I727 to the leaked Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich firmware UCLD2.
I did everything detailed in the clockworkmod method, was very careful and checked everything multiple times. Once I did those steps when I tried to reboot the system it goes on an endless boot loop. Sometimes it gets to the splash screen, sometimes it doesn't. No error messages are displayed, it just keeps booting. I am able to access clockworkmod, but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've re-downloaded the three files listed in the article and I've redone all the steps, with the same results (obviously...). Not sure what my next step is at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use a 1 click release...
Hello.
Your solution:
Put the phone into Download mode, and install the leak from the original 1 click odin release by DesignGears.
How to do it?
1st, search in the forums the location of the firmware, be sure to use the 1 click release, there are 3 leaks, for me the second was the best, probably for you the 3rd will be better, use one of those 2.
Be sure to have all drivers for your phone installed, and be sure Kies wont start when you connect the phone.
Power the phone off, by removing the battery.
Press, Vol up and Down at the same time, while keeping them pressed, connect the USB cable, then, run the 1 click binary.... wait some minutes while it says it is done and enjoy!!!!
Hope it helps, if any problems arise, let us know. I will check the thread later today and tomorrow.
Thank you! Working on it right now. I'll update you on how it goes.
Hope it ends fine for you!
Worked like a charm! Not sure why it didn't work the other way. Regardless, thank you so very much.
Nice!!!
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I followed the steps to instal CWM on the Galaxy Note 10.1 using Odin v1.85. Everything went fine and it said "Pass" and everything, but whenever I press power button and Volume-Up together, then release Volume-Up when the logo comes up, I don't go to CWM, I just go to the Android logo and get options to:
1. Reboot System now
2. apply update from external storage
3. wide data/factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
5. apply update from cache
What went wrong? where is CWM?
Thanks

Did you UNcheck Reboot in ODIN? If the tab reboots the 3e (stock recovery) overwrites any custom recovery installed. Install CWM before rebooting. That worked for me.

You're welcome. Happy to help!
Tried to change roms and somewhere in the process it got to the Samungs logo and wouldn't continue. I've tried changing recoveries and roms with the same results. I even tried CynagenMod rom and it just changes the logos of the boot screen. I can get into recovery and into download mode. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running out.
Please help!
I have this same problem
I have the N8013 version.
Installed a rom then tried to revert back to previous rom. and got stuck on the SAMSUNG logo. Can get into Download mode, and Recovery Mode.,,but nothing helps. I have tried several methods:
1. ODIN- CWM and TWRP recoveries, and a number of stock and custom roms floating around the troubleshoot forum...got" PASS" on the ODin after attempting to install stock tar images but tablet still gets stuck at SAMSUNG
2. Sideloads of zip files..I get 2 different errors that after doing research seem common on the websites. I suggested to use touchwin recovery instead of CWM, CWM gave another error. .Long story short sideloading is not working either.
Any thoughts, suggestions...help please!

Thanks for the reply....
I tried what you suggested:
wiped data/factory reset
wiped cache
wiped dalvik cache
Then installed the following tar file: N8013RootInjectedSystem from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152&page=4
Got stuck on the Samsung screen.
From my experience you wipe before installing the rom.. Correct?

I installed: CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifi-p4notewifiue-gtn8013.tar.md5 via Odin, the process passed, and tablet booted into stock recovery.
Did a factory reset from stock recovery and attempted to reboot, but still got stuck at the Samsung logo.
Any suggestions of how to proceed from here?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I do have 2 backups but they are on my external microsd,and will not load in stock recovery...not even able to access my micro sd from custom recoveries.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

the only problem is now i am unable to view microsd....but i am happy happy happy

HOW TO FIX A STUCK BOOT SCREEN ON GALAXY NOTE 10.1 N8013 4.1.2
1.) Download ODIN (just google it)
2.) FLASH ClockworkMOD (CWM) using ODIN to Device (just google it)
A.) Before pressing "START" Uncheck all options ( Auto-reboot, F-reset (re-partition should already be unchecked etc) Just hold the power button device to reset, it will reset on it's own upon start up
4.) Download Firmware Hotfile Linked By the Beautiful Samir who commented on this thread (just search for him). Make sure that fireware is designated for your particular device. No Samsung SIII firmware for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
A.) Use the "Save to" Option not the "Open With" option...It's just better
5.) Enter Recovery Mode (CWM Mode) on device using the Power + Volume UP key
6.) Factory Reset Wipe
7.) Wipe Cache
8.) Advance Settings - Clear Davlink Cache & Fix Permissions
9.) Mounts & Storage - Format all except your external SD card (be careful and watch what your doing don;t want to delete anything else by mistake..cause you will be really..cough..upset)
A.) be forewarned that after these wipes you won't be able to get past the first Samsung logo screen, it will just remain there on the screen but have no fear it should be fixed when you download the Firmware. KAY. breathe easy.
B.) i mention this because my problem was that i was getting past the first Samsung logo but not past the second one, in the sense that it wasn't even appearing on the screen.
10.) Make sure that your USB drivers for Samsung are working, you can get the driver from Samsung site (Google it) or use KIES (Google it)
A.) if you use KIES i advise you to download it, get the Samsung USB drivers from it, then go to control panel on your desktop and Uninstall it, you can download it again later when your Note is working again but it seems to cause problems with ODIN, better safe than sorry i always say
11.) The Firmware can be a particularly long download, but once it is done and you have extracted it to a folder using WINRAR (remember the name of this folder) make sure that it is saved to your computer then shutdown and restart your computer
12.) Now with your newly restarted computer.........
1.) Open ODIN
2.) Put Samsung Note 10.1 into "Download Mode"
3.) Connect your Note to Computer using USB, it should make the ID:COM turn yellow
4.) Uncheck auto-reboot, F-reset etc
5.) go to PDA and look for the folder that you placed your firmware in :KIES_Blaahblaahblahh_blaah
6.) Press START
7.) you should see a download begin both on device and within ODIN....PASSSSSS (Green Box)
8.) Reset Computer Manually by pressing the power button
9.) turn back on Galaxy Note 10.1 and you should be all set
a.) don't be scared after you turn on your note and you get the Samsung logo and then the little android robot downloading some stuff (that is supposed to happen)
Howdy I have a older AT&T Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 SGH-i497 Android 4.2.2
I followed the steps on forum thread Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Development -->(ODIN + CWM 6 + ROOT + Stock) ATT / TMOBILE Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 {} {SGH-T779} by Childofthehorn
Well I made it through step 5, at least! (Odin displays green “Passed!”)
But the following steps:
6. Backup your existing image
7. Flash SuperSu from SDcard
8. WInning.
here's where I'm at:
(see attached)
strangely there is no button for attachment on the Editor Are attachments allowed on this forum? Peculiar!
Only choices on the Recovery screen are
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Don't know how to "back up your existing image"
or "Flash SuperSU from SDcard."
(but I do have the SuperSU apk on the SDcard though; do I select "apply update from external storage"?)
How do I know I have root? Odin said "Passed!" in green, but I'm not sure what that entails. -- I don't want to use any of those root checkers on Google Play because they all appear to ad-filled junk.*
Do I have CWM 6 by this process? How can I tell?
Is it possible to upgrade to KitKat? or is the P5113's processor not capable of it (or something else prevents having KitKat)
Not sure what I should do next.
Thanks everyone!
After Odin says Passed did you let the tab reboot to the ROM? If so the ROM probably replaced CWM with stock recovery (stock ROMs tend to do this), so what you need to do is flash the recovery again via Odin, but once it completes immediately reboot to recovery using the key combination, do not let the ROM boot. Once the recovery has loaded it should automatically disable the recovery replacement system in the ROM, and you'll be able to proceed to step 6.

Do you uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time? With those enabled all Odin said was Reset! in blue.
For the 3rd step:
Childofthehorn says:
3. Open Odin (as administrator) and hit the "PDA" button, remember to uncheck the reset
I assume he means F. Rest Time in the Odin options tab
Seems to reboot immediately after Odin finishes, happens too fast; there's no time to reboot into recovery mode with the power+vol.

Just follow what the instructions said, but uncheck Auto Reboot. Then, once Odin is done, force reboot the tab by holding both power and vol button down for about 10 secs (until it reboots), then release the power button while still holding the vol button.
Hi! I need help with my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. It was working fine until I decided to reset it to factory settings via the recovery mode. I did the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. When I click the "Reboot system now", it just turns off then when I turn it back on it'll go back to the recovery settings. I flashed the stock ROM using Odin but I was having the same problem. It never go pass the recovery mode. I also installed Philz touch (throuhg Odin) and flashed a custom ROM but, alas, it's still stuck on the recovery mode.
The curious thing is, right after I flash a ROM, the device will show that it's updating the system and then it'll turn off. It won't reboot unless I turn it on. Whenever I hit the "Reboot system now", it'll just shut down. I have charged it fully 100% so I'm not sure what's wrong. I thought the keys were stuck but all the keys are responsive (power, volume up and down) when I checked them.
I also tried the apply update from ADB sideload (I found a different thread somewhere and I was able to do every step) but it's the same. I'm stuck in the recovery mode
I really hope that someone will be able to help me.
Thank you guys!!!
