Bootloop/ wont connect to Kies - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so, Galaxy note 2 Gt-n700.
One day randomly turns off (not rooted/flashed). Go to turn the device back on and it gets stuck in a boot loop on the first screen, keep rebooting till it ran out of battery.
tried to go into recovery mode Vol up +middle +power. Nothing.
Then tried the other one.. Vol down + middle + power
hit continue at the firmware install and get RPMB: INVALID RPMD Data
Now googling this comes across alot of advice for PIT files and ODIN. when i tried to "install" this it comes up with an error that i cannot remember at the moment on ODIN basically saying cant its broke.
I have now got the phone saying that there is a firmware update and to connect to KIES and do emergency recovery. The damn phone will not connect to KIES and i have reinstalled KIES and all the drivers 500 times. Tried all usb ports.
Now im about 5 minutes from throwing this phone off a wall.
Can anyone help.
Much helps needed.

What ROM did you use before that happened?
If you not on 4.3 bootloader, try to flash oldest stock, one file, firmware through odin.

Is your phone still going in bootloops?Try to enter download mode by pressing volume down+home button without pressing power and see if still goes into download mode.If it does then your power button is faulty.Two scenarios to that either power button is stuck on "pressed" mode which you can resolve by taking out the cover and screws and pushing out the power button (look up youtube video) or worse the power button needs to be replaced totally.If power button is working fine try what the above user stated flash the previous working stock version or flash the latest 4.4.2 stock ROM and see if it bootloop is resolved.

im having the same problem how did you fixed it ??

My sasmung w Wont Turn On

I have a Samsung W which is not rooted, with Stock Rom as i bought it. Everything was ok until yesterday. I put it in my pocket and the phone was Suddenly turned off. Since then the phone won't turn on except that the screen sometimes flashes when pushing numerous times the power button.
When i press the Vol+ + Center Button + Power Button to enter Recovery mode nothing happens.
I will charge it overnight to see if something changes tomorrow.
Need Help please!
Finally Turned it on, But Samsung Kies and ODIN seem not to working at all. Samsung Kies stacks at "Connectind" & ODIN detecs the phone successfully, but when the phone restarts it won't turn on, i have to remove battery and Open it in Download mode again.
Try to enter download mode press vol down + home+ power button if you can enter download mode flash it with odin

maybe the power button has the problem.
I disassembled the phone and the power button is working fine. I can't enter Dwonload Mode. the phone won't turn on at all :/
Since it is not flashed / rooted & with stock rom, just sent in to a service center, it's the safest thing to do right now i think.
After that you can do with it what you want
Hello! I cant sent it to a service center as it has a big mark on the top of it and they will ask me to pay in order to fix it. I finally Managed to Turn it on in DOWNLOAD MODE. I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128 this thread with ODIN and Samsung KIES. Samsung KIES stacks at "Connecting". ODIN detects the phone, downloads data , but when the phone restarts is dead. I have to remove battery and turn it on in Downloading Mode

What 'big mark' making it cannot be sent back to Samsung lol? Maybe you should install CWM and do a full wipe first before you flashed the ROM with Odin (anyway sending it back to Samsung will still be the best solution as you may accidentally void the warranty when you are trying to fix it)
Well, i believe for ODIN to work first u have to kill Kies Process using the Task manager or you will get some conflict between the two.
Also, if your phone has a scratch on top of it, then your fine. However, if it has a big DENT or if it is broken somewhere, then they will probably assume it was a problem due to a fall or something. However you can always try and send it to the service center and they will probably sort it out or replace your phone as a last resort (even if it has a scratch on it xD).

[Q] The phone does not respond to power button

It seems my phone is finished.Yesterday I flashed the Philz Recovery through Mobile Odin(through Recovery option).But as usual it showed 'Flashing and Rebooting',but the phone shut down without going to recovery.Then I tried flashing through PC Odin through PDA.After showing PASSED in Odin I disconnected the phone from the PC.But the phone did not reboot into recovery.So I was not able confirm whether Philz Recovery was installed.In order to confirm that I tried to go to recovery by pressing Power,Vol Up & Home buttons after shutting down the phone.But their was no response in the phone.So I tried Download Mode by pressing the Power,Vol Down & Home buttons.This time the phone went to Download load mode.So I again flashed Philz.This time also the phone didn't reboot to recovery.So I tried to enter recovery manually as before.This time also no response.So I made ON the phone opened M Odine and flashed PhIlz again.But the same result as before. I shut the phone down and tried the recovery manually again.No response.Then tried Download mode manually.This time no response for this also.Also I tried with JIG to enter Download mode(by pulling out battery,replacing it again and putting the JIG in the micro USB port without making ON the phone).For this also no response.And when tried to make the phone ON it does not respond to the Power button also.Today I tried to make the phone ON several times by pressing the Power Button without any results.The battery was with 80% charge when I tried flashings.Is the phone dead?What is the option now?I noticed the delay in powering up the phone from shut down(for about 25 to 30 minutes) earlier itself after flashing the 23 toggle mods with Modin .Is that symptom developed eventually to this state?Any how I am very desperate now.So will anybody please offer a remedy, if possible?Waiting anxiously for an immediate reply with thanks,

If your phone's charging/data port is broken, I suggest that you should not continue with your plan. Coz if things went wrong, and your phone doesn't load your Android OS anymore and needs to connect to PC that would be the end.

Failed CF-Root - Can't boot into download mode

Galaxy Tab S 8.4, SM-T700. Received the lollipop update and that worked fine. Immediately tried to run CF-Auto-Root on it using Odin 3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-klimtwifi-klimtwifixx-smt700.tar.md5. I booted into download mode, started Odin and clicked Start. Only the first progress block in Odin lit up and the Tab S only showed about an inch of blue progress line. That was it for about 4 hours.
The tab was not responsive, shutting down Odin did nothing and trying a different Odin version also did nothing. So I had no choice but to disconnect the Tab S. Immediately rebooted to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...." message. Running Kies does not recognize the tablet, running different versions of Odin with the stock firmware does nothing and the Tab won't do anything but restart into the "Firmware encountered an issue" screen. Won't go into download mode at all and nothing I do in Kies or Odin seems to work.
Last several times I've used CF-Auto-Root went flawlessly. This time, not. So if it continually reboots in to the "Firmware encountered an issue" screen, is there any recourse?
I have let it run out of juice and left it plugged in long enough to recharge fully but no matter what I do, it won't do anything but get to that one annoying screen!
Maybe there's a sequence of steps I'm missing. Anyway, been trying everything I can find out there on this but it's not working.
Thoughts?
You likely have a bad cable there. That's what happens.
You should be able to get download mode if it boots to the firmware failed screen
If you can boot to recovery then just wipe cache and it should boot.
From the firmware failed screen hold POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME until it restarts then immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.
If that doesn't work try again with POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME until download mode boots.
If you still can't get either you can try the usb jig, which apparantly does work on this device.
Ask skOrPn which one to use, he use to build these things.
Hmmmm, you're right. I was using the Samsung cable that came with the tablet so figured there wasn't anything wrong with it (since one of the popular solutions is to not use a generic and make sure to use the Samsung).
So I dug deep in the vault for a slightly older Samsung cable from a previous phone and tried it. Sure enough - it worked. Odin completed the CF-Auto-Root in the 10 seconds it usually takes.
Clearly even Samsung cables go bad.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious but not so obvious!

Please Help me Save my $1,200 Brick - Inescapable Bootloop

I wanted to root my Note10+.
It is a Note10+ SM-N975F. It is not locked to any carrier.
I enabled dev options, unlocked OEM, booted into download mode, and unlocked the bootloader. This was apparently successful.
I then tried to use Odin to flash stock rom. Odin fails at "system.img". I tried to flash with Chimera Tool. Chimera also fails at "system.img". I tried different stock roms (older versions etc.), the error perists. I tried on a different computer, the error persists.
So I decided to flash a patched TWRP, then I was gonna flash ROM throught TWRP.
I flashed TWRP and that leads me to now. My phone is effectively dead:
If I plug it in or turn it on, it boots to the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen, it will tell me to press power to confirm that I understand that the phone's security has been bypassed/non-official software is installed. Then it will hang forever on the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen.
There doesn't seem to be anyway to turn it off other than letting the battery drain, but even with the battery drained, if I plug it in, it will just boot to the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen.
If I hold power + volume down, it will reset back into the "Samsung Galaxy Note10+" screen.
Whether it's on or off, power + volume up appears to do nothing
Any ideas? If I can get into download/recovery mode it should be fixable... But I can't even get there at this point!
Try different Odin.
Holding the power button for more than 10 seconds should always shut down.
Im happy to help if you are struggling?
Had the same bootloop symptoms, fixed!
i had the same bootloop when trying to update to beta android 10, let your phone drain completely, hold volume up and down at the same time, connect a usb cable and it should turn on to a download mode screen, flash latest rom (BL+AP+CSC+CP) and you re all set
Yep - solved in line with the above:
I let it it drain, then held vol up and down and plugged into computer - got into download mode recognised by Odin!
