Hello,
Here's what happened: I noticed that my Galaxy Note 2 wasn't showing up notifications, which was happening frequently after restarting my device, and I restarted it (held power button and selected "restart") to get the notifications to show up again - which always worked for me. But this time I got stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Note II logo, then I took out the battery, re-inserted it and tried to turn my device on again, but it has not responded at all. I thought it was a "battery bug", since I had it calibrated yesterday with an app I always use and I thought that when I would get home and plugged the charger in it would start normally, but It hasn't.
Here are the facts:
- It is rooted, but I use the default 4.3.0 ROM
- It has the Xposed and a few modules installed, but It always worked fine
- It won't start in recovery mode (home + volume up + power) nor in download mode (home + volume down + power)
- After reading a few topics/posts and a few websites I found on Google, I tried starting it on some "I don't remember the name mode", which is volume up + volume down + power for 2 minutes, but it didn't work either.
- I tried botting it up via Unified Android Tool Kit, but it says "error: device not found". And yes, I have the drivers installed.
- It had around 80-90% of its battery charge when it happened.
Is anything else I can do? Has anyone of you passed through anything similar?
Thanks in advance!

I was provided this device to try and help resolve the issue. I am not sure how it got to this point. I believe that it was rooted with a custom ROM, then the individual tried to install a stock ROM (method unknown).
The current situation is:
Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800 stuck in a bootloop with the TWRP logo on the screen. I can not get the tablet to go into download mode. I have tried all of the different methods to enter download mode, i.e. Power & Vol - & Home, Drain the battery > Plug into PC while holding Vol - & Home, Power & Vol + & Vol -. None of these combinations do anything. The only thing I can do to get a response is to press Power & Vol +, which reboots the device right back into the TWRP loop after the Samsung Logo. Power button alone does nothing.
The device is seen by Windows with the Samsung Drivers but is not mounted to a drive letter, and I can not mount it.
ADB , fastboot and Odin do not see the device.
I would like to flash a new rom either custom or stock, but I need to be able to get the device into download mode so it can be seen by odin.
Any help would be great.

Probably just timing and pilot error this one. I've never known of any Samsung device boot but be incapable of booting to download mode as download mode is bootloader related.
No working bootloader means dead device.
No matter what state the device is in at the moment with the usb cable removed, hold POWER + VOL DOWN (not up) + HOME until the Samsung boot logo comes up, hold for another couple of seconds then release. Download mode should appear.
I know it should be easy....
I know it should work but it is not, I will make a vid of the process and post. I can not make heads or tails.

Is the home button actually working, are you pressing it firm enough?
If the home button doesn't register then the tablet will simply reboot.
Its a bit odd why twrp doesn't fully boot though unless it's the wrong one.
Does it hang at the twrp logo or continually reboot?
Hello XDA Forums!
I am a weirdo that chooses to not have a cell phone plan, and use a device with wifi to make my calls through Skype and Google Voice. This has been working for me for the past few years and my roommate just got a new phone and i asked him for his old Galaxy S III SGH-I747 AT&T.
So today while messing around with it (I rooted it, installed TWRP recovery and got it all ready for my weird set up, turning off the service and getting the apps I needed etc) I decided i wanted to remove all the bloatware it comes with, so i set it into recovery mode, using TWRP i backed up everything, set it to wipe/factory reset, and tried to flash a custom ROM onto it. I went through the steps in TWRP and chose the options i wanted etc and then when it flashed the ROM and rebooted its bricked!
OH NOES!
No charge icon when i plug into the wall. Computer doesn't see it when i plug into computer. Doesn't boot (obviously) and i cannot enter recovery mode or download mode. Been searching the webs all day, such a bummer. I tried to write a unbrick iso to my 32gb sd card with win32diskimager, remove battery, put in card, replace battery, nothing.
Tried all the button combos: Volume down + Power, Volume up + Volume Down + Power, Volume Down + Home + Power, Volume up + Home + Power
(The only thing of note is when i have it connected to my pc and press volume down and power my pc makes the "connected" and then "disconnected" noises over and over as i hold the buttons.)
Bought a USB Jig for it on Ebay for 4$, maybe that will get me into download mode, but until that comes i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
i guess if worse comes to worse i will send it to a JTAG service, but as a thrifty dirtbag getting a free phone i was hoping to keep costs down.
Thanks for reading and any input is appreciated.

I got the same problem.. I just tried to reboot in recovery but it never came back on..
What rom did you flash?
You could run debricking the phone with an sd card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068
Samsung J2 (J200G/DD) not booting (no logo, no vibrate), not into recovery (Vol+ + power + Home), not even into download mode (vol- + home + power), after it suddenly shutoff on it's own while in use (call). There was vibrate when it shut off (as normal shut down)
Battery checked, no problem. No response to charger input without battery. USB debugging probably not on
What can be done. Please guide.
Could not find any related problem/solution in forums.
Is there a possibility of hardware issue? Similar problem seen by any one, on this or on any other models? I have a similar problem on a Lenevo A6000, difference is that it goes into boot loop on connecting to charger without battery.

Hi
i have the same issue on my Samsung galaxy SM-J200H right now! it is happened after flashing Stock Android LP 5.1.1 with Odin.
Do you fixed Your phone?
Edit: no way The device dead! i am changed the motherboard.
this problem happening when we flash the wrong security code of the ROM.
you will tell me i am flashed my Device ROM
Yes i am agree with you but some ROMs will not matching with all phones.
at the end of the ROM name have ex. U1 , B1 or U2 , B2 we should make sure which one is for our devices type.
My daughters Note2 (gt-n7100, fully stock) reboots itself into download mode when it gets switched off. It goes straight to the 'downloading... do not turn off target' screen. If the phone is powered down from this screen, it just comes back on again to the same screen. The only way to restart is to either hold vol down + home + power which then gives me the option to cancel, or to hold vol up + home + power to enter recovery and boot into system from there.
Also, it won't charge from completely flat (most likely because any power management can't start because of the above issue?), but does so if it's switched on.
These problems seemed to spontaniously appear with no system changes.
At first I thought it was maybe the kids messing around with it and the phone was expecting to be updated so reflashed stock everything via Heimdall. The problem persisted so I tried flashing TWRP and LineageOS (both succesfully) but still it goes into download mode when powered down.
Anyone any ideas?
Hey all,
Hope you've been keeping safe and well.
So I was flashing the new PixelExperience ROM - and seems like I made an error somewhere along the way.
I'm looking to return to stock, and then give the process another shot - but at the moment my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
The bootloader is unlocked - and the boot goes through the following screens before rebooting:
1. Samsung Logo
2. "The phone's bootloader in unlocked....Press power key to continue"
3. Samsung Note 10+ Logo Screen.
I'm trying my best to try and boot into either download or recovery mode, but to no avail - it just restarts the bootloop on each combination I've tried.
Any solutions on how to get moving with this?
Thanks!

Timing will be the key. To help out, boot up as you have been, but as early into the boot cycle press and hold the Vol - and power button for up to 5 seconds (until phone manually shuts off) [it will actually reboot the phone])), then the instant it powers off and begins to power back on (try a few times to get used to the timing) press and hold the key combination for recovery or download mode. In my experience whatever combination you go with while booting, the power button only needs to be held for the first 5 seconds or so of the combo button press/hold.
The other button, Vol+ or Vol- should constantly be held until desired mode begins to load.

Thanks for your quick and detailed reply man, appreciate it.
Still trying, new cords, ports, the whole buffet. Will keep at it.
Major flag though - my PC doesn't recognise the phone anymore, checked the USB ports in Device Management and nothing comes up. I've tried different cords and ports to no avail.
I have a feeling that because the device doesn't think it's not plugged in - it doesn't boot into recovery.
Just another detail - the flash goes on just before the reboot. Does this signify anything?

I'm not familiar with any significance the flash may point to. You've probably already done this.....but be sure to reboot PC....
Have you tried booting to recovery yet?
