You probably have thought of, and tried this but......
I have a galaxy nexus and found myself stuck in a very simalar situation.
I came accross a galaxy nexus toolkit by WugFresh, and i managed to get stock back on through the adb interface.
The toolkit automatically detected my phone and what version of the firmware it needed, downloaded it and flashed it on to my phone. It can also use the fastboot interface but adb is by far better in my personal opinion...
Maybe this could help you out, or maybe could even find a galaxy note version.
As your in a non working state atm, you have nothing to lose by at least giving it a go.
May not help, but i thought i would try and give some assistance.

I forgot about this post, sorry. I also posted in the Galaxy Note general section where I replied, I thought I would risk it and reboot my phone and it rebooted as normal...phew!...and when I when back into download mode and tried flashing the ROM again...it worked! A little wierd but i'm happy I haven't done anything damanging to my phone, watch something happen tomorrow like my phone not turning on
glad you got it working again. there is nothing worse than banging your head against a brick wall with a broken phone!!
luckily these days, it is near impossible to brick a phone completely. thank heavens for small mercys!!
If someone could provide me/direct me to a ROM with bootloaders, I'd be very thankful. Or if someone could tell me how to save my bricked player, that would be nice too. Thanks!

I used the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386669 to resurrect a player I bought fully bricked. No sign of life but now it's running normally. Go to the end of the thread and read my post.
I had to do a few attempts with diffent bootloaders and roms but at the end, I was able to get it back.
I am sure you have read most of the thread I pointed out to you already, but retry the steps since that is how I was able get mine to reboot normally.
Use the resurrector in Linux to get the player into Download mode (it went from black screen to showing Phone(!)PC icon). Trick is to keep it plugged in, since unplugging it shuts the player down and can't get Download mode with the button combos. So you will either need to have a Linux box with Virtual session of Windows to run Odin or, as my case, a dual boot. If you use the dual boot, when you switch from Linux to Windows, do not power down. Instead, reboot. It keeps the USB port powered and the player stays in Download mode (Phone(!)PC). In Windows run Odin to load bootloaders. You will need to flash a couple different bootloaders.
I flashed the Download mode only bootloader along with the pit file (included in the OP of the thread ^) to get the player into Download mode. It was stuck there until I flashed the SamsungPlayer bootloader (all found in the thread above) and got it to go into Recovery mode. Once there, I flashed a rom with CWM, factory reset and reboot... worked for me.

Okay I have seen various requests so I decided to hook it up, I had to pay for these but here ya go. I have full firmware for lollipop or kitakat and you can get them from the following links to my google drive.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxcLJPerShJ_ZDJrNV9fRVBSdU0&usp=sharing
Within you will see two folders you can pick either kitkat or lollipop and to do a full flash download the files starting with ALL then flash with odin by placing in the pda section. The others shouldnt even be needed if your looking just to fully flash the device use the ones that start with the label ALL. Enjoy. Wish someone could get the bootloader unlocked for this variant. If their are any other variants that need firmware let me know ill see what i can do.
I am curious could i perhaps flash the csc for tmobile then maybe my dev settings let me unlock bootloader like tmobile variant? I am not certain but I feel like it could possibly
Any luck with that ? ? I bought this phone on Valentines Day with android 5.1.1. The first thing I did was download Your stock firmwares cuz I knew it was gonna be a start of another journey with another Samsung device with lil to no development for it. Been doing research daily since then, You've been the most helpful & informative for Our cricket variant of the Grand Prime.

If I doesn't turn on at all. Then it's bricked. To make sure. Switch the battery or charge it. If it still doesn't turn on there is nothing you can do. But if you can get into Odin and download mode. There is hope and I have the files you'll need to salvage it.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this damn SM-G530AZ (5.1.1) ?? I've tried numerous methods and suggestions but so far this thing just won't give in....

Hey, do you have a nandroid backup of your device (sm-g530az) that you could give me? My Samsung is dead, odin don?t recognize my device in download mode, only boot in recovery, and I can flash it with cwm. Please, you could help me?

their is no bootloader unlock or custom recovery for the 530az that i am aware of, so i never could make a nandroid backup. If you know of a way to actually use a custom recovery etc on the 530az I would make you a backup.

That´s the history. I recieve the samsung (sm-g530az), but the smartphone don´t connect to wifi, when you choose the network only appear "Saved, Protected". No matter how much times you select the network, always appear the same thing and the device do nothing. Well, i thinked in that moment in change the firmware. I read in this forum a possible solution, that solution says "Download the Samsung Kies, then connect your device and select -upgrade your device-. Type your model and S/N, and Kies does the rest". I did it, everything seemed fine, until the process stopped. And an error message appears that says "Disconnect the phone and retire the battery, then turn on + ^ + home to start the emergency recovery". I did it all, but when i connect it, my pc, odin and kies don´t recognize it, my Samsung died. I put the phone in download mode and nothing happens. I reinstall the driver, kies and everything and odin at last recognize my device. Then I dowloaded "Philiz Touch Recovery" and I could flash it with odin. After all, I clean my device and prepare it for a custom rom. I installed it "cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial", but when restart the device, it doesn't enter to the system, only boot in recovery or bootloader. But my pc don´t recognize my device in download mode, and I can´t flash it with odin. So I need the backup to restore my device.
Try to install "Philiz Touch Recovery" with Odin. I did it, and works for me. When I recieved the samsung, i don´t unlocked the device and I could flash the CWM. Thanks for your response

ya i think you messed up royally, their is no working philz or cwm for the 530AZ at all because the bootloader is locked soooo i dont see how you ever flashed it with that in the first place, but if you indeed were able to then it looks like you have a soft brick of sorts since the bootloader is locked on that model, their is firmware but you for some reason are unable to flash with odin so sadly I am not sure what else you could do other than maybe see if it is recognized on other usb ports or computer also check your device manager in windows and check and see if the usb device is listed if it shows a yellow exclamation or unknown device then manually update the driver for the unknown device as an android device

Hello, I know is late. Is already 2017 happy new year. But i was looking the post and reading the thread. I'm looking this information to try on my friend phone that want to root. Anyway. I maybe have a solution to fix the bootloop. since you went to philz recovery. There is a bug with philz recovery. If im correct. But i got it fixed with some zip file and using command on that flash. If you still need this solution let me know. I can post the zip file and step by step of the command.
Let me know

Sorry for the file "CROM_Service.apk" for what?

HEY I REALLY NEED THAT!
I don't have the actual CWM on my phone yet. I just got it today. I already have it rooted, deodexed, and debloated(somewhat).
I was able to root it using kingroot. I'm still working for a way to replace the newest kingroot(5.1.0) with SuperSU.
But my question is does it actually work? Have you flashed the tar with odin and fix the code in it with commands.
Just reading your post gives me chills honestly. I like doing things as soon as I can! I'm a phoneaholic.
heres wha i have done and my problem, sure hope theres some help an i havent broken it. Since FuHu has removed the updates i decided to give it a whir myself. I read and read on the nabi and differant ways to update, but none worked. Somehow i deleted the OS, but i figured no problem and found the xda site for the nabi stuff. I was able to install twrp 2.2.2, it wouldnt read the micros sd card, i up graded the twro to 2.8 version, everythig semed to work except the deggone "slide button" id recon youd call it. Back to the drawing board. I down loaded twrp 2.6 for the nabi and installed. Have no idea what went wrong, but now, i fire up the nabi, go into recovery kernal ( without being plugged into the pc ) it just sits there, when i plug the usb cable into nabi then the laptop, it automaticall connects to the driver, and goes to a screen that has,,
bootloader
continue
reboot-bootloader
reboot
power off
now if i press the vol - again it goes to a screen....
boot normally
fastboot protocol
recovery kernal
forced recovery
it just keep fliping back and forth betwen thos 2 screens,it shows connected on my laptop,but try to load anything and it says no device connected..
Truley baffeled,, any help is appreciated
Thank you
