(Originally posted this in the wrong forum, so I am reposting here.)
I have the Galaxy Note II with T-Mobile.
Some background: It was running Android 4.1.2. I rooted my phone once, about two weeks ago, just so I could take an image of it in case of an update issue. (I think the software was called nandroid.) Once I took the backup, I unrooted it again.
Since then, doing the Software Update check under settings never returned any results. It would just keep checking until I clicked cancel.
Anyway, when T-Mobile released the 4.3 update Monday morning, I tried updating to it using the Kies software on my PC (by connecting it through the USB cable). It got up to about 60% installation and then just hung for over an hour. So I unplugged the phone, re-plugged it back in, and then attempted the emergency firmware recovery through Kies. It went through this and got upto 76% installation and then just hung again for another hour. I again unplugged it to re-try the emergency recovery again, but every time I connected the phone, Kies would not detect it again. I re-seated the battery, rebooted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Kies, but Kies would not detect my phone again.
I am/was running the stock rom, but my phone won't even boot into it's normal screen. Any time I turn it again, i see the screen--"there were errors during firmware upgrade. try emergency recovery in Kies."
I can't even figure out a way to get to a screen where I can install the image I took using Nandroid a few weeks ago.
Any help or advice anyone can provide would be extremely appreciated!
Use Odin to fix it.
If you can put your phone into download mode then it should be 'saveable' ..

I am able to put it into download mode. When I follow the instructions I found for Odin, the process seems to go smoothly. However, once my phone reboots, it stays on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" screen (with the black background). I've left it like that for over 30 minutes, and it just stays on that screen.
Should there be another step I should be following?

Try installing SuperSU from Playstore
It has an option of doing a FULL UNROOT
I am sure that will help.
If not then install Rom Manager from PS
Through RomManager reboot in Recovery
1.) Wipe device 3x times
2.) Wipe cache 3x times
3.) Under advance you will Find Dalvik Cache -- wipe that 3x times

But more importantly why would you want 4.3 stock anyway?
Install TWRP Recovery or ClockWorkMod recovery and install/Flash CM1 (Cyagonemod) or any other custom roms 4.4.x kitkat
Nothing is really working for me.
I can't boot into normal mode. I am able to get into "download" mode, but whenever I try to load an image using the Odin software (both a stock image and a Cyagonemod image), it starts to load the image, but just hangs a certain percent of the way through.
I also can't get to that screen where it gives you the text based options to wipe your device, cache, etc.
I've tried loading both TWRP recovery and ClockWorkMod recovery (through Odin), and though it seems to load properly (Odin says "Pass"), when the phone reboots, it goes to the "Samsumg Galaxy Note II" screen (the one with white text on a black background), and just stays there.
I've gotten T-Mobile to agree to send me a new phone. But if I can't get into any of the items I mention above, how can I make sure my old device is wiped before sending it back to them?
Just do this un root with chain fire root away app.
Then use triangle away app.
Then find 4.1.2 MB1 stock Odin tar. The complete package .
Odin to stock .
Reboot and then update via Ota.
You have to un root first and also have to triangle away which removes flash counter in Odin.
System modified status will not allow Ota.
That's the best suggestion I have

have you tried booting into recovery? after you load the custom recovery with odin and it reboots, pull the battery put it back, then hold vol up + home and then + power. hold all 3 until recovery. try a factory reset and reboot.

I have. It brings me to the same screen with the Samsung Galaxy Note II text on the black background and just stays there.
So, in summary, I can get into download mode (vol down+home+power), but it seems nothing else.
Try factory settings the phone through stock recovery and then check your phone status. It should say 'normal' but if it says 'modified,' download Triangle away and run the tracking setting (it'll make your phone say normal so you can download the OTA). Given you're on tmobile and your phone is the T889 model, check for software updates and install the OTA. Your phone will take a bit and will probably be stuck on the T-Mobile 4G boot screen for several minutes (it's normal). This should work.
Hello,
I have tried for 2 days now to get this tablet working
It is Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, WIfi only (SM-P600)
It is stuck in a boot loop, it shows the samsung logo in big white text "SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10.1 2014 EDITION" then shuts off. then repeats about 4-5 seconds later.
I have tried:
-flashing stock rom
-flashing custom recovery
-flashing cf-autoroot
i can't access the recovery on the phone to do a factory reset. for the custom recovery in odin it works really fast then the tablet goes back into boot loop.
I can get into download mode with home + power + vol - but I can't get into recovery..
no SD card inserted
Problem may have come up while doing firmware upgrade -- this is my friend's tablet.
Thank you!

I would focus on flashing a stock ROM with Odin. Was the flash successful, any error messages?
You could also check the "Nandroid Erase All" box in Odin for a wipe.
Try Odin ver 3.09, if you are not already using it.
Did you try to re-download your Samsung ROM? A 4.4.2 version?
Recently, I was just playing games on my Tab then suddenly it froze and reboots. It was then stuck at 'samsung galaxy tab 3', not the samsung logo. Even if I restarted my Tab or charged it, it always get stuck at that 'samsung galaxy tab 3' logo.
The problem is: I can't access Recovery mode, all I can do is go to download mode.
I tried to flash any roms available here on xda via odin, still no luck. I even tried to flash the stock firmware. After it successfully finished flashing, still no luck.
What I have noticed after flashing the latest stock firmware:
1. download mode - System status was still on custom
2.download mode - RP SWREV: A1 shows up!
Still can't access Recovery mode.
Any help would gladly appreciated..
Flash a new recovery over Odin, this should fix the Access to the recovery
hi There,

how to get my tab back to normal
Flash the newest firmware with Odin.. Should work then
Hello.
Few weeks ago I've installed Ditto Note 3 for Note 2 (LTE).
It was running perfectly. But after some time I can't reboot my phone. When I switch on my phone, logo "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7105" is 'running' into the right corner.
I can't get into recovery mode, I can't use my phone.
Only Download Mode is working correctly. (without 'running' into the corner)
When I'm trying to get into Recovery it restarts.
I tried to install stock rom by odin, many different versions, but with the same result. I also tried to install recovery again but it doesn't help.
I switch on the phone and it goes correctly but the screen is black. In the Download Mode everything is ok. What's going on?
How can I fix it?
Some suggestions?
