HELP! I think I bricked it. Stuck on boot - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I seriously screwed up my Note (T889). I installed the latest nightly of cm10.1, but it got stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery and tried to boot into cwm, but it would only boot into download mode or the loop. I tried to use odin to flash cwm back onto the phone, which seemed to work (I could boot into cwm once). While in cwm I did a factory reset and then rebooted the phone. Now when I turn it on it sits on the screen that says Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for a while then goes black, nothing else. I can boot into download mode, but I can't boot into cwm or the stock recovery any more. I tried using odin to flash cwm again from download mode, but I still can't boot into anything else.
I really just want my phone to be usable again right now, so if anyone can help me out at all I would really really grateful, thanks!
I've read this thread which seemed similar, but unless I'm doing something wrong my problem seems to be slightly different: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034323

[Q] Bootloop

Hi guys,
My N7100 was rooted and has been working fine for almost a month now. I have flashed several custom ROMs and have had no issues.
Today I restarted the phone to recovery and the phone shows the initial blue TWRP screen and then goes back to show Samsung logo and this keeps on repeating over and over.. meaning, can't enter into the recovery mode.
I am able to enter in download mode though. Downloading 4.1.2 stock ROM for my country so I can hopefully flash it through ODIN.
If possible I would wish to retain the ROM that's on the phone and use it as before. Any idea as to why the phone can't enter into TWRP? Will it help if I flash CWM via ODIN and reboot the phone after entering CWM?
Flashed CWM via ODIN and rebooted. Back into my custom ROM.
Not sure why TWRP stopped working all of a sudden. Anyway, all is well now.
For anyone who may go through the same, here is the topic to download CWM from.

[Q] Stuck at Samsung logo (No root, no recovery)

So I had an I747 with ATT running on SuperNexus (d2att Build 4), and I tried to flash to the latest ATT Lean Kernel. Cleared cache/dalvik, flashed, and rebooted. Phone would boot to the Samsung logo and shut down, whereas it used to load a Nexus boot animation afterwards (at least I think it shut down, the screen would be black and not do anything). I couldn't enter recovery at that point, and without a backup I just went ahead and flashed stock image with Odin without being able to reset to factory or clear the caches. Needless to say, I'm now unrooted with no custom recovery, and now the Samsung logo hangs after going through the animation, just glowing. I still can't get into recovery (it shows the initial Samsung screen saying it's going into recovery, but then reboots), but I can get into download mode. Not really sure what to do. I've got a job on the line, and I need to just get it in working order. I'd appreciate any help!
EDIT: Flashed TWRP with Odin successfully, can enter Recovery. Wiped cache/Dalvik and factory reset. Reboot. Phone goes through Samsung animation and ATT animation, and then hangs at glowing Samsung logo. Still don't know what to do.

Can you load a rom and kernel on a SD card and flash it ? Are you still unable to get into download mode ?
If you cant load a rom on an sd card then try download mode and just flash this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
in odin. It will reroot you and you can go from there.
if you're able to use the above attached link to get your device up and going again (with root), you'll have to install a custom recovery again. not a big deal, just didnt want you to boot into recovery to flash something and find yourself in stock vs custom recovery. cheers!

Galaxy s 3 Will not boot, acting strange

I have had my s 3 for a while as has it also been rooted for a long period.
I recently had a bad rom flash which for some reason disabled me from booting into recovery or the rom. it would boot past the tmobile screen and get stuck on the flashing samsung screen. If i tried to boot the recovery it would say in blue letters booting recovery image on the top corner and then resume to boot the os which would always get stuck on flashing samsung logo. I can get into download mode and i flashed a stock rom from sammobile website along with the stock kernel and recovery and i can now get into recovery but the rom always gets stuck at the flashing samsung logo or whatever the custom roms splash animation is even on roms that are not stock. im hoping someone can shine some light on this because im afraid i have a shiny paperweight.
Go into recovery and do a factory reset, but just so you know, it will also wipe your internal sd

T889 Soft brick after jedi rom install

so Jus let me apologize if anyone has already posted about this i have been searching for three days but here goes....
the phone samsung t889 tmobile us variant got it new installed cwm philz touch and rooted been flashing roms been all good last rom before fail was dirty unicorns on mk7 firmware so long storey short i lost everythign but download mode i have odin and note 2 toolkit but not a lot of knowledge of how to use with out recovery mode. it was stuck in boot loop but i managed to get it to boot to logo but it just stays there until i pull battery and put it back into download mode. odin completes sucessfully every operation i try in it but i cant get recovery to flash to phone i have flashed it it says completed but i cant boot to recovery and ideas???? thank you all
I'm sure you've already tried, however volume up+home+ power will take it to recovery. If I have issues flashing a recovery, I often will flash a different recovery to test. You can always bring it back to stock and have at it again.
stock firmware comes from here
http://www.sammobile.com/
instructions for odin are found here

make sure you are only flashing stock for your variant and not another one.
enjoy!
