Stuck in download mode?! - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i used odin to flash TWRP on my device but forgot to tick auto reset.. So it flashed perfectly but i can't get it out of download mode, tried pressing and holding every button, tried to reconnect to odin and flash again but nothing helps.. forgot i cant pull out the battery, so any of you have some other ideas?? or just let the bloódy thing die on battery and charge and get in recovery?

okey power down on volume down for 30 sec did the trick.. few just had a full battery.. would have last for two days

Phone keeps reseting?

I Have tried searching for the answers and nothing really answers my question. I was on ICS then I flashed back to EL29 using QB's method and now my phone just turns on and then stays at the menu my power button doesnt work? Help?
Can you get into Download or Recovery mode?
Like MeWarning was about to suggest...
Yank the battery, get the phone into download mode and one click odin back to stock then format all, flash your rom.
I had to pull the battery and immanently had to boot into cwm or else the phone would just turn it's self on same with download mode. I finally Odin back to el29 stock and I rooted it but now the only thing wrong is that my power button wont work I.E Can't press it to turn the screen off or turn off the phone. I Tired to fash a new rom and It worked but the only problem still is that the power button wont work

[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.

Bootloop/ wont connect to Kies

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 ??

Sphl900 stuck in a bootloop

Hi my coworker has a sprint galaxy note 2 stock and not rooted. His phone shut down and when he started it back up it was stuck in a bootloop. I tried to flash the stock tar file via Odin and it failed. I don't think usb debugging has been checked in developing options, is their a way to fix this?
Thanks.

Have you tried using the (incredibly awesome) instruction set and downloads from Billard's (in)famous MC2 build?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
No but I'm going to try it now, I'll keep you posted.
Thanks.

Now I can't boot into recovery, I flashed twrp and it worked for a while and now it doesn't. I tried to refresh twrp but no luck.
Almost sounds like this could be a hardware issue.
By chance, does he have an extra battery? Or maybe another person in your office (or wherever you are with this) who can let him try their battery as a test? Last summer, my battery ballooned when I took a trip to Colorado up in the mountains (stock Samsung battery) and caused bootloops and just plain crashed my phone. Got a new Duracell from Batteries Plus ($40) and immediately fixed the "problem". You might want to see if he can try another battery next before attempting another software fix.
However, if that doesn't work, have you tried to immediately boot into recovery/download mode after turning on the phone? Then use odin to root/flash ROM/whatever you need?
1) turn off your device (pull battery "just in case" for 10 seconds too)
2) press this button combination: volume up, power button and home button. hold until download mode shows up
3) press volume up to enter the download mode (or volume down to cancel and reboot the device)
I guess that could be the problem. I tried Ballard's MC2 build but it didn't work it put the phone in emergency mode and I had to use kies to get it out of that and now I'm back to a bootloop and stock recovery. I think I'm going to try Philz recovery and flash from there
