Please help! galaxy note ii wont load. but can boot to recovery - General Questions and Answers

please guys i need your help. My note ii wont load up
it can load into recovery
but i cant use odin or anything because the toolkit im using always waits for debugging mode to be on. I cant turn it on because i cant get the phone to turn on.
I tried using odin directly with no luck. it wont load the stock image on to the phone
The phone doesnt show up as connected to my computer but is recognized by the toolkit i am using
Please help, i just need to flash a stock rom back on this thing and be able to use it again. Its pissing me off because i literally just got it about 4 days ago for a substantial amount of money.
thanks for any help
found a way to get it to download mode to use odin but i am trying to flash a stock image to it and its just sitting here. not doing anything. it went throught the loading and everything in odin and started the flash, but it just sitting here now saying
write start
cashe.img

... now it is only saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

Boot into recovery and flash the firmware from there (put it on the external sd card)?

I would, i actually tried that and it still didnt work. Now i can no longer boot into recovery. Only to download. Just tried flashing with odin and it failed. ... any ideas?

What do you think happened to get the phone into this state?

Cant access download or recovery Help plz

was flashing a new rom and ended up getting stuck at the boot screen....and now I cant get it to reach recovery or download mode so i can fix it with odin. Another problem i am having (or was) is my laptop isnt recognizing my phone...i updated all the drivers, still no luck. But that was before I got stuck at boot. I switched my usb cord thinking maybe thats the problem, but now i cant test it cause im stuck at boot and the damn phone wont go into download mode......and suggestions?
Did you try to go into download mode with both cords?

I dont remember what rom i was running, because i Havnt used the phone in a while and recently switched it to prepaid and decided to start messing around with roms again...Im pretty sure i was flashing bionic black ice. Cant remember now, I had downloaded a few and was going to try them all out.
No matter what i try I cant get passed the boot screen. Thats all it does too, everytime i try to get d/l mode it doesnt do anything and just sits on the boot screen, nothing else
still no luck....looks like i might have to make a usb jig....doesnt seem too hard
Is this the way you're trying to get into download mode?

Might have bricked.. need help

So I'm rooting my friends infuse for him. basically flashed in odin but after that went through i was stuck at the samsung boot logo for 45 minutes. I did a battery pull and tried again with same result. So i tried getting back into download mode because it would not let me get into the stock recovery at all and it let me. Tried to reflash using odin and in the middle in the middle of it, it stopped and came onto the yellow triangle screen as shown in the pic. now cant get into download or boot or anything. ive tried using odin even though its not in download mode to flash a stock kernel but it just keeps connecting and disconnecting because now the computer wont read the device. Is there anyone who has had this issue and can help or have i completely bricked his phone. And for the record he is no longer on AT&T he is using straight talk so he cant just go into the AT&T store anymore. Thanks for any help you can give me
Try to use qkster hemidall package

Phone stuck on Verizon boot logo

I re-rooted on my mac using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
and then used the Rom Toolbox app to change the font as I have done many times. Now I am stuck on a bootloop and cant anywhere. I tried booting into recovery and installing a stock rom zip. Any ideas? really would like to get my phone working again!!
What worked for me was booting into recovery and wiping cache and factory reset.

ahh tried that still sitting at the 4G LTE screen.
Did you try the factory reset option? Which I know will suck unless you have a nandroid.
Can you get into download mode, sounds like you'll have to Odin back to stock and flash the boot chains too.

I can get to download mode, yes but will have to wait to see if I can get a windows computer to use Odin. Ill try to factory reset again.

Sound like me when i bricked my phone, had to wait till I got to work to use a PC so I could use Odin. Hopefully Heimdall gets finished soon so us Mac users won't have to depend on Odin anymore.

[Q] My friends phone is bootlooped. We can't access recovery.

My friend installed 3e recovery. He later installed CWM. He did a backup, wiped data, dalvic cache, and he also formatted /system. He forgot to plug in the SD card with the ROM zip file, and after rebooting he can no longer access recovery. It just sits on the Samsung screen. Using "adb reboot recovery" makes the phone reboot, but it's still stuck. I'm dont know much about adb, but it will not let us push any files onto the phone.
Edit: When we try going in recovery (holding vol+/- and power) Samsung logo keeps blinking on and off.
Your best bet would be to return to stock, install a custom kernel, copy the file over, and flash after wiping

How do i do that without the ability to go in recovery? When i do Samsung screen keeps turning on and off.
Download a return-to-stock package, and go to download mode

i'll start the old Google to figure out what and how, but if you have the time can you explain this to me like i'm an idiot?
I did this and nothing changed: http://www.justanswer.com/android-devices/6k5fd-tried-upgrade-samsung-infuse-using-kies-mini.html
Also ADB is having hard time seeing the device. I got it to list the device once. And one more thing, I have to got o work now, but I'll be back in 4-5 hours (around 10pm central time)
Thank you in advance.
Ok now I have a new problem. When I put the phone in download mode i hear the "USB device plugged it" sound but Odin will not recognize the phone.
Edit: I believe that i have the drivers installed.
Which drivers? Heimdall or Odin?

You're on the right track to try Odin. Let us know after you've tried that if it worked or not.

sounds like phone was completly wiped, even the recovery, or it was a previous bad flash, odin the jb firmware would be the way to go
Phone was not wiped.not sure what was/is wrong.but,when I went to reflash back to stock,it booted up properly.so i didnt reflash.it also rebooted into recovery from os system shut down.it would not boot into recovery using button method.only download mode.
So when I get time,I'll go back to stock and start over.I take phone back to gb (I don't like ic or jb drivers.)I have better luck starting there.i flash Odin gb stock with root.then cm7.2,cm10 to upgrade recovery.then 4.4.2 cm kk.mite be the long way,but it has always worked well.
I left out that I get recovery after stock flash.then get everything else through recovery.i data transfer from comp.
