2.reinsert baterry
3.hold volume up + power
4.chose recovery (vol up/down to scroll and pover button to select)
4.wait for phone to boot in to recovery

i have tried this procedure already but no luck .. the phone is not taking me to recovery.. when you power on while pressing the vol-up button. "Google" logo comes up and thats it .. nothing happens after that..
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
KL
Fixed following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108145
The noteable suggestion seemed to be to format everything except external memory...
the only problem is now i am unable to view microsd....but i am happy happy happy
let me know if this works
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)
I tried to root my phone by first flashing CWM recovery and then installing a rootkit. But now it won't go past the Samsung screen. It starts the Samsung theme tone but stops abruptly and the screen goes black. I can go into download and recovery mode. I have tried wiping everything-from wipe cache partition, wipe data, wipe dalvick cache, etc. Please help me.

Hello,
I recently got my hands on a samsung galaxy J500FN and long story short tried to flash a custom rom onto it using TWRP (and following this guide to the letter -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-stock-rom-advanced-t3305976 )
I downloaded the TWRP app on the phone
then i downloaded onto the laptop as recommended in the above guide^ - Samsung Kies, TWRP recovery, Odin, Custom Rom (all downloads from the links in the guide)
so i got through steps 1 to 10 with no problem, its on 11 where i got lost
1. Download the rom and put it on your External SD Card ( make sure you have enough space).
2. Download this TWRP recovery: TWRP recovery by @aapav01 - more info about this recovery at CREDITS
You can also use TWRP 3.0 by Nick Verse which is fully working. Big thanks to him as well. If you didn't know yet, he also made a KERNEL for our J5
3. Download ODIN program. I'm using v3.09
4. Enable the OEM unlock bootloader option at developer options (if you can't see Developer Options, then go to Settings > About phone and tap 7 times build number).
5. Reboot your phone in download mode by keeping pressing Power button + home button + volume DOWN button at same time for few seconds. After an blue screen will appear, press volume up button.
6. Connect your phone with usb cable to your PC.
7. Open ODIN program and an number should appear at ID:COM. If it doesn't, then make sure that the phone usb drivers are installed.
8. Click on AP or PDA ( according to the version of odin which you downloaded) and choose the TWRP recovery you've downloaded and click START. Wait until the process finish.
9. Now go to TWRP recovery by keeping pressing Power button + home button + volume UP button at same time for few seconds.
10. Choose Wipe, then Advanced wipe and choose Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache and then Swipe to wipe.
11. Now choose Install and go to the place where you did put the ROM and choose it. Wait till installation finish and DON'T REBOOT YET.
12. Flash GAPPS. I use Open Gapps, ARM 5.1.1 pico version. http://opengapps.org/ . It's XDA thread is HERE .
13. Wipe dalvk cache & cache.
14. Reboot & WAIT 5-10 minutes until it boot!. Only first boot is longer. NOTE: When you reboot, if it ask you for SuperSU choose "do not install".
15. If you followed all the steps carefully, then everything will be OK. Enjoy
When i find the Rom and press the install button on TWRP it just changes from "install zip" to "install image" and i cant go any further.?
please help as my phones now stuck in limbo

Okay so I'm not new to rooting, flashing custom roms, or using custom recoveries, but this one has stumped me.
After reading and researching several poorly written/translated guides I set out to flash the Miui6_5.3.20_r827_b3wok custom rom on my Oppo Find 5 Mini. I copied the CWM for the R827 into the sd card, using Mobile Uncle MTK tools to install it. I successfully rebooted into CWM, selected the factory reset option (wiping data and cache) and then format /system and wiped the dalvik cache. I then installed the zip of the custom rom, with no errors. However, the custom rom needed a patch, specifically the "VPN-Fix by Louise - AICP v10 - R827" which acc. to the instructions were supposed to be patches BEFORE gapps.
Now the problem is that at the end of flashing that patch, it automatically reboots the phone, so I held the power button while the Oppo logo was there and booted into CWM again. I then flashed gapps, and rebooted the device.
However, I am no longer able to get into CWM, nor does the Oppo logo move/progress. Pressing Volume Down + Power to get into recovery mode turns on the phone with the text =>Recovery Mode in the bottom left, but instead of going into CWM it now just turns off the screen, vibrates, and proceeds to boot as if I never attempted to go into recovery mode in the first place.
Is this phone well and truly bricked? Fastboot mode (Volume Up + Power) just vibrates the phone and turns it off, so theres no way I can do a adb reboot or sideload. I can however copy files to and fro the microSD card via a separate card reader, if it helps.
Thanks for helping , and sorry for the long read...This really is my last hope. :crying:
Update: Okay so I went to the Oppo store and after about 40 minutes they somehow both fixed it and updated to the ColorOS with Kitkat.
OP resolved.
