Tablet was running Oreo, a real old version of WETA (I think v3.1). TWRP was installed.
Decided to update to the latest rom so downloaded from sammobile and flashed through Odin. I thought this would wipe everything and install the Pie rom, leaving me with a clean install, ready to flash TWRP, magisk, and the WETA module.
Process completed successfully in Odin and the tablet restarted but it's stuck on bootloader screen. Can't turn it off, can't boot to recovery or download mode, can't do anything really.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Have you tried ADB to boot into recovery or download mode?

PC doesn't even recognise that a device has been plugged in.
I can hold Power + Up + Down to reset the device, but it goes straight back to being stuck at bootloader.
Power + Up for recovery does not work, Power + Down for download mode doesn't work (but resets the device). The fact neither of these work makes me think there is no way out of this?
Solved.
Managed to get it into download mode by powering it on while the USB was plugged into my work PC. Laptop USB port must have not had enough power.
Flashed stock rom with Odin again and it booted up.

my friend has rooted s2 with juggarnaut 3.7. he accepted the ota update this morning and now the phone keeps restarting. i tried getting into clockworkmod but after getting into recovery it keeps restarting. any advice would help. thanks!
pull the battery
boot into CWR
flash any favourite ROM back into the phone
remember to wipe cache, wipe david k, wipe etc
the problem is that everytime i get into CWM it'll restart again
the instead of booting into recovery
boot into Download Mode
plug USB cable to the phone, hold the 3 buttons from Off
you should be in download mode
load up Odin, and flash the stock ROM links on INDEX sticky
thanks man it worked

I flashed the JB rom and it worked fine. I then stupidly tried to put on franco's custom kernel and my phone is now hanging at the Google first boot screen. I booted into odin but i only have the START option.
I've tried doing fastboot flash recovery CMW.img on three computers now and it states waiting for device...
Any help please?
Edit: the drivers do install on the machine once plugged in.

Press and hold volume + and -, then hit power. Now try fastboot flashing your recovery.
It sounded like you were in download mode trying to the do the impossible.

Good job!
I tried using this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665 to root my phone
After the odin push of the insecure kernel the phone wouldn't boot normally.
I am able to get into download mode, but the phone won't boot.
I'd like to be able to apply a stock rom back to the phone.

are you able to get into recovery at all, or no.
There are two 'samsung' screens that i know of, i was stuck at the step 4.
1st: 'samsung'
2nd: 'Samsung Galaxy S III'
3rd: AT&T splash screen
4th: pulsating 'samsung'
I'm going to assume you are stuck on the pulsating Samsung screen. Here is what you should do. Go into the att cwm mode (not the real cwm) by holding volume up, home button, and then power button. Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. Then put phone into download mode - volume down, home button, and power button. Open Odin 3.07 on computer, select the from you want to flash in the PDA field, and then plug your phone via the USB cable that came with the phone into a USB port that is connected to your computers motherboard. You should see the COM port turn blue. Flash ROM and you should be good to go.

Yes, I can get into recovery and into download mode.
I was able to flash cwm recovery, but can't access the external SD card to attempt to flash a rom that way.
I tried factory reset/data wipe no luck.
I think something with the kernel i loaded is corrupt, so I need to find a known good stock rom to flash via odin.
It gets to the "2nd: 'Samsung Galaxy S III'" if I go into recovery mode.
Never past the first pulsing Samsung in normal boot, or download modes.

Was able to locate a working stock rom.

I initially flashed the CM10 JB stable ROM successfully. The only problem I had was that I was unable to transfer files via USB to my computer, so I tried using the toolkit to flash the stock rom, but when it was flashing I got an error message that my phone disconnected.
When I turn my phone on I can only get into download mode. If i just press the power button, I receive a black screen.
I have tried using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 to flash the stock ROM using ODIN but the phone freezes at the Samsung logo screen after the T-Mobile "4G Android" screen.
Any help is truly appreciated

can you get into recovery mode? if you can, try installing a rom from an external micro sd card (that you know previously worked)

If you got this far, then you need to do a factory reset.

you cant. You need to boot into recovery. Trust me you can get in it, might take a few tries. Try to boot into recovery without the usb cable plugged in.With the phone completely off, and unplugged do the vol-up, home +power combo til it flashes that first screen, it can be a ***** but youll get in
Try turning the device off, remove the battery and leave it there for 60 secs. Make sure the phone is unplug from computer and the hit vol up, home, power until the phone vibrate then release. This should get the phone into the stock recovery.

I really do not think I will be able to get in. I have tried it so many times and even previously could only get into CWM recovery through the app on my phone to boot into recovery. I could never actually get in holding the vol-up+home+power.
Is it possible to flash CWM recovery through ODIN and download mode?
I'm not sure why this stock rom is freezing after I flash it through odin.

i would suggest trying a different cable and if ur gonna use odin again, wipe everything (especially /system!) in recovery before booting into download mode for the odin flash. would also reccomend tryin the legit stock rom in odin (unrooted) if its still freezing on you.
Flash with Odin again, then after it is successfully completed power down phone you have to hold vol up home and power until you see some blue text appear in the top left corner then factory reset from recovery

Yea getting into recovery is tricky if you don't hold the buttons long enough (let go too soon). These guys really gave you great advice.

If you couldn't get into CWM recovery before you screwed the rom then you just aren't doing it right.with phone off, hold up and home, then hold powered button for like 3 sec then let go of only power... but i think you are right the download mode skips the Samsung logo.the recovery puts up Samsung logo before booting recovery. Why can't you Odin a recovery partition ?

Some more details would help me understand better. What I'd love to know is.
1. What is the current state of the phone ?
2. Is it rooted or Are you trying to root ? If so what process.
3. Are you trying to flash a rom or Recovery or what ?
4. Last but not least. What rom and version you currently have on there ?

You didn't specify how you got here .What did you try to do, that left you in this state ? Am I assuming correctly that you somehow managed to wipe system partition and have only the stock recovery ?
If the phone is in Recovery mode, Odin will not work. You will need to reboot the phone into Download mode. To do this, you pull the battery out, volume down, home, and power button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo, and then release. You will see a warning message with bright yellow triangle and will say Downloading. Once that is done, connect to the PC.
Using ODIN, first flash a custom recovery such as TWRP. If you want to go back to stock, this is the time you flash Stock rom instead of the recovery.
If you want custom rom, copy the rom zip to the External SD card and then put that in the phone and flash via Custom Recovery.

Then perhaps you should have asked on that thread for next steps. Anyway, if you are still getting the Qsub message when connecting to pc that means its not out of de-brick yet. I'd suggest following there.
Also please first put the phone in download mode and THEN connect to the PC. Tell me what happens in that case.

Perhaps not Perseus! AS stated........Its out of the brick mode and is now stuck in boot recovery mode! The method to get it into download mode is null, because it will only go into the boot recovery mode when i push those buttons to try and get it there! NOTE: its now in MSM9860 when plugged into the PC.

Please note, the button combo slightly differs for Recovery versus Download mode
Recovery Booting - Power +Home + Volume UP
Download Mode - Power +Home + Volume DOWN
Do you still have the sd setup from the debrick thread? Can you see if you can get back to download mode by booting from that again?
If so, try flashing the Stock firmware again, and if you still end up in the same spot maybe try again, but this time flash CWM or TWRP recovery from Odin, then flash a Rom from recovery.
And I can't remember right off but did you try factory resetting from recovery?

In that Case boot the phone using the files of the SD Card as per the De-Brick Thread. See if you can into Downloading mode that way.

Tried that method also and no luck!
Just to clarify, the boot recovery mode you are referring to, does it have the binary/flash count, system status, etc? Basically what do you see?
It sounds in some ways you are in download mode, but recovery is a very different mode, so just to clear up any confusion.....
