Trying to install this update reproducibly fails. It downloads, then asks me whether to install. I confirm, and it tells me that it will reboot the device. The device reboots. During the reboot animation, I see a low-resolution progress bar that runs until about 25%. Then it reboots again, I enter my PIN and it tells me: "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre". It does not give me any details as to why it has failed.
Brand new GT-N7100, unrooted, stock everything. Tried several factory restores, same error @ 25%.

I reckon you should contact handtec regarding to the open seal. Because no one should have the right to open your brand new phone without your consent. Doesnt it say on the seal something about not to accept open seal products?

Keeptrying to reboot into recovery. Try various things. Like for example take the battery out and plug it into the charger and then try boot into recovery without the battery and just keep trying different things. It will go eventually.

I didn't think the phone ran without the battery, Hence the reason why it's been said not to try and flash a ROM without 25% battery.
Am I wrong there?

Just some theories... Make sure that you don't have kies open while running odin. If that is ot the case.
Try the extreme and flash the rom trough kies itself
Other than that I might sense a sds symptom from what google says((
Today my Gnex randomly rebooted, then got stuck rebooting. it now starts gets all the way to the home screen then reboots, then the cycle starts over. I am rooted runny shiney rom. nothing new installed recently and as stated before the phone was running normal the rebooted out of the the blue.
I have cleared cache, davik and done factory wipe, all to no avail.
the text on bottom of my bootloader reads:
Product name-tuna
variant- toro 32gb
hw version-10
bootloader version primemd04
baseband version-i515.fk02 cdma-unknown
carrier info-none
i cant flash the factory image because the phone doesn't stay powered on long enough to stay connected to the computer. apparently when i re flashed and root i forgot to make a back up so i can not restore that way either.
You could try pulling battery put back in and hold volume buttons and power to get into fastboot mode and flash factory image. Maybe you already tried this but maybe not so thought I'd throw my thoughts your way.

I Have the correct drivers, and have used fast boot before. i think i get the error because when i factory reset it, that turns off the debugging mode.

Debugging mode is only important when you are trying to use adb while booted into Android. In the bootloader, debugging being on or off doesn't matter. It also doesn't matter in recovery either.
Something is wrong somewhere, drivers are usually the best place to start as it is probably the most common reason why the device doesn't communicate with fastboot. Other things to try are different USB cables and USB ports.

Well looks like you know what your doing so looks like you have a major issue beyond my skill level. Sorry i couldn't help. Never tried it but Odin may be a thought. If you can get into recovery you could side load using adb also.

Have you tried the flash-all it seems to do some formatting that may help but I think it does that later after the radios. Warning it will wipe your phone including sdcard.

Have you tried connecting it into download mode, and then flash an odin image through odin? with that method you wont need to actually put the image onto the device but rather odin just copies it over for you while flashing the phone at the same time.
Same issue
My phone started randomly rebooting, and wont stop, it can't get past the lock screen without crashing on me. However i went into recovery, wiped everything, and flashed back to the stock rom ( i was running the shiny 4.3 rom) and the issue is still persistng, anyone know what can be done, or is something possibly wrong with the hardware?

Today I finally rooted my Tablet 7 with some help from gr8nole here on XDA. Needless to say I was very happy and started downloading any and all apps that required root I was interested in. Unfortunately about an hour into my adventure I downloaded an app called LCD Density. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. It soft bricked my device after changing the density from 240 to 160. I am now just trying to get back to square one again and have no idea what to do. I wiped the cache partition and re flashed root. Reboot same thing again. The Samsung screen is vertical not horizontal and doing the infamous glow from blue to white and back to blue and nothing more continuously. I am in CWM now and not really sure what step to take next as I don't want to risk a hard brick. I went to Rom Manager in CWM and no files were there when I went to use the backup feature What should I do?

When you flash twrp or cwm in odin, you must uncheck autoreboot. Btw hold down power vol up and home button, when samsung logo appears, release the power button while still pessing down vol up and home

Why didnt you just change the density back? Open build.prop, or push a stock version of it via adb or (idk if it is possible) via fastboot.
Then yoir problem should be solved. Those tweaks have got nothing to do with cache, or data, or so
Thats also why you need root and also the reason, why it is not so easy, to root some devices
But try brain.exe and everything should work, as it should
