Dear all,
Here is the story what happened exactly to my phone.
2 weeks ago my phone restarted by it self and stuck on the Samsung logo, I download the stock rom and flash it with odin. (My power button wasn't working very well but it did the job), after a while my power button completely went out of service. so whenever I needed to restart the phone I always do the battery trick and I have no problem with that.
4 days ago my phone restarted again and stuck on the Samsung logo and sense the power button wasn't working, I couldn't get access to the download mode, so Yesterday I bought a new power button and its working perfectly. but now I cant access the download mode.
Here is what happened to the phone when I pressed the vol down and menu button + power button the Samsung galaxy note II GT-N7100 logo flashed for a couple of times then it loads to the Samsung logo where it is stuck.
I tried the vol up + down with the pc cable nothing, i tried to get into the recovery mode nothing, and still note able to get in the download mode.
So please help me to get into the download mode so i can be able to flash the stock rom through odin again.
I rooted my tab-s 10.5 the other day, I used Odin 3.10.6. I then used flashify to add TWRP, again no problems. From there I really don't remembered what I did to it, but now it is stuck at the white logo that comes after the colored one and now it will not turn off I can get into the Odin menu but that is all. I have let it discharged all night then charged it then I turned it on, it then got to the logo and stopped & will not shut off . I am tempted to send it to Samsung(even though I voided the warranty) and let them fix it. I am at my wits end on this.

White logo? Samsung logo or Galaxy Tab S logo?
I assume Samsung logo. Anyway you can force reboot by holding power+home button + BOTH Volume up and Down buttons all at the same time until the screen goes black. Then quickly press the recovery button combo and restore your backup.
Now if your at the Galaxy Tab S logo, hold power+home button+ both volume buttons until the screen goes black, then press and hold Power+Home+ Volume down buttons then that should get you into download mode. From there flash your firmware.

The download mode is what I thought was called Odin mode which I can get to. The thing is I do not have a firmware. I looked at several sites for one but I did not know which one to down load. They were for other countries but the US..

Do you own the SM-T800 (WiFi 10.5 Tab s) or Lte 10.5 Tab S?
It is the SM-T800 the wifi one.
Well after a few tries, I got into recovery mode, restored from backup, now it is stuck at the Tab S screen

Heres the T800 lollipop firmware https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347760201
I mirrored it so the download should be fast. It's U.S region
So I should use Odin to load the firmware, right.
Thank you DUHAsianSKILLZ very much, it worked. I about panicked there for a moment when it took awhile to boot. It looks like all of my apps are still there, I only had to reset my wallpaper. Thanks again.
IF I decide to reroot my tab-s(and it's a big if) what file do you recommend and what recovery file.

I usually don't recommend flashing twrp with flashify as it causes some problems but most times don't. I use this tutorial (by me lol) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59638836 and had no problems so far installing twrp + rooting.
The problem you could of had that gave you the bootloop is that you might of hit something I don't know. I tend to only use the recovery to flash roms and hardly ever for backups (takes to much space). I just keep a custom ROM on my sd card since most of my things are backed up into the cloud.
Or you could use this, root and twrp in one:

POWER + HOME + DOWN to boot into download mode and reinstall twrp. Then just reboot from twrp
I tried rooting my tablet with Kingroot, by connecting my tablet to my laptop. It finished downloading to my tablet than i accidentally got out of the window. My tablet is now stuck on the samsung logo when i try to restart it. I cannot access recovery mode. Tried holding power button and volume down, it comes up with 'Downloading, please do not turn off target'. Its stuck on this window until tablet runs out of charge. Im not sure what to do now

That "Downloading" screen is called Download Mode. You can go to sammobile.com and download the full firmware package for your tablet and use Odin to flash it while in Download mode. There are many tutorials about how to do this. Google is your friend.
Hi Friends,
I have a situation here, I got a Samsung GT-N7105 from my friend this phone had Kitkat custom ROM(some note 4 clone) on it. I wanted to remove this ROM and install a stock ROM on it .
I downloaded GT-N7105_N7105XXALJ3_N7105OLBALJ1_4.1.1-SHT from a website and flashed it using ODIN. Everything went fine but since then my phone is stuck on the Samsung logo. I am unable to access download mode or recovery mode.
The phone boots up fine but when I hold Volume UP + Home + Power button the 'Samsung GT-N7105' logo keeps on flashing and on releasing the power button its again stuck on samsung logo.
Please advise how to fix this issue.
Flash the latest ROM from sammobile.com using Odin.
Download mode is power, volume down, and home. Since that doesn't work, try a USB jig.
