Is this phone salvageable? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Pressing Vol Up, Home and Power keys give me the following (I have an screenshot but I am blocked from showing the screenshot):
Android system recovery <3e>
K0T49H.N7105XXUFNE7
Volume up/down to move highlight; power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
It reports many missing file systems before that
I tried to flash the stock ROM using Odin. Vol Down, Home and Power keys give the Download screen, but nothing gets downloaded. Tried it from three different PCs.
Is my phone recoverable? What is "apply update from external storage" or "apply update from ADB"? I haven't tried wipe data/factory reset yet because I hope to salvage the WhatsApp backup file if it's still there.
Thanks.

Try flashing custom recovery if possible.
Of you succeed then using aroma file explorer to copy your WhatsApp backup to external SD card....
After that you can wipe everything and start installing a rom from scratch.

[Q] HELP?!?!?

can i please get instructions on how to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817979&highlight=apps2sd ?
Make sure you have rooted your phone
Make sure you have clockwork's update.zip and that ROM on the root of your sd card.
Boot into recovery (Vol up + power, then use vol down to highlight recovery and power to select)
Press vol down + power once the ! shows up
Use vol down to highlight flash update.zip and press power to select it
Use trackpad to scroll down to nandroid, and make a backup
when back in the main menu, select "factory reset", which will wipe your data
Use trackpad to scroll down to install zip from sd card
Choose zip from SD card
select the ROM that you downloaded that you placed on the root of your sd card.
wait for the ROM to install and then reboot your phone
If you have any problems, go back into clockwork recovery and then restore your nandroid backup from the nandroid menu.

What do they mean by wipe data?

I'm trying to install one the the new EB13 roms without the CIQ, the instructions call for WIPE, WIPE, WIPE your data. When you are asked to wipe data, does that means also davlik & cache? & if it's so in which order do I do it?
In clockwork recovery
Power off then hold down camera + power + Vol. down
The third option down select that before you flash a rom do it three times to avoid complications
Then you want to do the fourth one down "Wipe cache Partirion"
Do that three times also
Then go into "advanced" and select "wipe Dalvik Cache"
Do that three times also
Next you'll want to flash a rom
"Install zip from Sd card"
then
"choose zip from sd card"
simply select the rom you placed on your sd card
after its installed just reboot if it didn't already and there you go

1. Which CWM version are you using
2. What ROM are you trying to flash
The first thing you should realize, is that formatting the /system means that Android no longer exist in your phone. Therefore you can no longer boot into your phone; boot into Recovery instead.
The second thing: Are you sure you're trying to flash a ROM explicitly made for the W? ROM from different devices most likely will not be able to run on the W. In fact, the error message "No space on this device" might very well mean that CWM tried to flash the ROM onto the wrong partition.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-cyanogemod-13-sergeyl-t3277418 i like this rom, i want to install but i am not sure about steps. I tried a lot of things but now it is staying on a screen in recovery mode.
FÄ°rstly i need root.
so i tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27610432&postcount=31
are there any ways because i couldnot manage with this.. After
3) Switch off the phone and enter to download mode ("Vol Down + Home + Power").
Wait until the driver will be installed and Odin will recognize the phone!
it stays in downlading please dont turn off targe.t
After root, i want to install CWM because i know it from my previous phone. i used it. to install it, i will use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395
is it correct? after root , i should do this.
and after those 2 installations, i can flash rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-cyanogemod-13-sergeyl-t3277418
with those steps. RighT?
1. Download CM13 and GAPPS files
2. Copy the zips in the external memory card
3. Boot in CWM or TWRP recovery
4. For CWM: Select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" - "Wipe cache" - "Wipe Dalvik"
5. Choose "Install Zip from external storage"
6. Select CM13 file
7. Choose "Install Zip from external storage"
8. Select GAPPS file
9. Go back to the root of the CWM, and select "reboot system now"
10. Done! First boot takes a while, be patient
11. Ignore message about SD card after CM13 first boot:
Formatting SDcard as internal storage will ruin it (don't format / encrypt)
Please give me suggestions if i am doing wrong.
