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!!
Hello guys,
I really really need your help, I have spend like two weeks reading articles and possible solutions to my problem and none of them worked.
My cell is the international version GT-I9100 and my PC has W7 Ultimate installed
I have my phone in USB debug mode and have installed USB drivers with KIES
2 weeks ago I was able to get to download mode by using the 3 buttons method with no problems... so I decided to try to install the latest ICS I9100XXLPQ with ODIN
Odin did recognized the cellphone and the yellow label appeared and show the message accepted... so far so good, put the I9100XXLPQ file in PDA, check the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options and hit the Start button but the problem started there.... it just sits at setup connection and wont do a thing. wait for more than 30 mins and nothing just sits there.
So I unplugged the cellphone from the cable thinking that it would be ok since Odin didn´t started with the flashing process (or at least that what i thought)... there´s the problem, now my cellphone does not came up and I´m not even able to get into download mode. I just get a black screen (see attachment)
I have tried with the 3 buttons, with One-Click Unbrick and with the Jig cable and none of them worked, I just keep getting the same screen.
(by the way... i tried with One-Click Unbrick but it still saying that the drivers are not installed properly so it keep installing the drivers over and over and I have not been actually able to use it.)
Odin is still able to recognized the cellphone so I tried to re-flash the cellphone doing the same thing this time it passed the connection setup and seems that it will worked but after 5 to 10 mins it failed but with no error message. I guess that it wont do anything since the cell is not in download mode.
Any ideas or suggestions would be more than appreciate!
Regards...
I once had the same problem. When odin sees the mobile even if its not in download mode. This means its connected but the bootloader is broken.
To fix this u need to use some program called hamedal or hamidal or something. I used it to unbrick my galazy tab. you can flash the boot section (bootloader image) manually thru it and it will fix your mobile.
Try to google about it and how to use it. If you don't find anything. Pm me and I will try to help u .

I think that you are taking about Heimdall
One Click Unbrick is the same thing.... (Heimdall One-Click project)
I tried that already... but thanks
I haven't worked much with i9000 or i777 to figure out heimdall compatibility. Your option is Odin right now.
Your only solution is a USB JIG.

Just open that program, install the usb drivers for it while connecting your phone and try to flash the zimage.img into the phone manually. I believe it will work. I've fixed many bricked galaxy devices with that.

I'll start out that I'm new to android, been an avid blackberry user that just purchased my note 2. I followed the casual root application, and unlocked and rooted my device. I went to install cm 10.2 mod on my device after wiping the device in development mode then proceeded to install from sdcard and it failed. Now my device will not respond to either download mode or development mode or power on in any way (including using a charger and removing and replacing the battery). I'm kind of stuck and not sure how to approach the correct solution to get my device back up and running. I did make sure that the cm mod I downloaded was for my specific device. Is it possible that maybe the root/unlock method failed and thats where I went wrong when installing the cm mod? I also get no response when the device is plugged into my pc. So its not being read by odin currrently.
Since it appears I have hard bricked my device, not quite sure what steps I can do to recover. I get no power to the device in any situation, I've read online about jtag, if anyone could point me in a direction it would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Sorry forgot to mention this was a verizon branded note 2

connecting to pc does your note responds or pc shoes something
remove your battery connect to pc and go to download mode by pressing the button combo if odin shows a port
and you are connected then you are saved if not I guess its tym for service center
anyways try
P.S be sure that you have latest drivers installed on pc and use the original usb cable for conecting

Thanks for the reply sangalaxy, like I mentioned the phone does not respond at all for download mode, not recognized by Odin or showing any power when connected to a charger. Hence why I was thinking its hard bricked.
I'm not sure if I can send it to samsung, since I bought the phone off craigslist.

yea sometimes it will not recognize anything and will not show on screen but will work silently
did you tried connecting it to pc without battery as I said and go to download mode by pressing buttons may be odin will recognize
if not you don't have any choice but go to samsung
Your right I didn't fully read your post to try those instructions, unfortunately it didn't work but thank you for the help. It is definitely appreciated. I think I have found someone off eBay with a good reputation for jtagging android devices that might be a solution.

ok friend hope it gets fixed
Was trying to go from GB 2.3.3 to OmniROM 4.4.4 on a friend’s S2 (GT I-9100).
I rooted using Framaroot (the first version, the latest wouldnt work), got root, checked with RootChecker. Then I tried to install CWM.
Spent hours trying, I wanted to do everything "on device" rather than use Heidal or ADB (use inux on my desktop), tried MobileOdin, but there was no "recovery" option, so tried ROM Manager using a guide ( http://luvis.se/tipstricks/root-and-install-kitkat-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-without-a-computer/ ), but kept failing cos of E signature verification, even though ROM Manager said it was installed.
I d spent hours and hours on the internet looking for how to install, seems its difficult because the device was GB.
So I tried MobileOdin again and just installed the "CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip" I downloaded from the above guide using the "install update.zip" option, I cancelled it when the warning came up about firmware can brick your device, but then hit "ok" (partly in frustration and partly cos I ve never bricked a device before as I m (USUALLY) always careful).
Now it just boots the the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen, then the screen goes blank after 10 seconds or so. Stupid, stupid me.
So can anyone help me recover it using ADB, Android Studio or maybe Heimdal or direct me to a guide on how to ? Everything I read uses Odin and assumes you can get into recovery. All that time trying to avoid connecting it to a pc and now I ve deffo got to.

Cant get into recovery but can get into download mode. Tried One-click Unbrick and it cant connect to device, which reminded me that when I connected it to my (Ubuntu) pc (before I bricked it) I got an error message saying it couldn’t mount Android device (I got rid of my S2 a couple of years ago but it always connected to my pc with no problems). Which seems to me like a real problem - how can I un-brick it if I cant connect via USB ?

First, I don't have any experience with ubuntu, so I would suggest connecting to a windows pc via usb, making sure you install the drivers for the s2, then download odin. Once you have odin setup, I would flash a stock rom .tar from sammobile.com. From there you can flash a kernel such as philz to gain root access, and then omni or other rom.

Heimdal on Ubuntu (or a Mac) will do the same job as Odin on Windows (and is more reliable), but I have this USB problem I mentioned above, so I m not sure anything is going to work if theres a problem with USB on the device (USB debugging was enabled). One-Click Unbrick cannot connect to it and nor can my pc.

Probably obvious, and you've maybe tried already, but will a different usb data cord work? And I would try a different pc just to rule it out.

Mate, the only thing I can suggest is make sure you have drivers for the phone(although the message saying can't mount device indicates a problem like corrupted partitions or nand, rather than missing drivers), and try a different pc. The fact you can get into download mode at least suggests you can flash a kernel or something, but you need a connection to the pc to do that(as you already know). I hope someone else has some other ideas

I wont need drivers as Linux has drivers built into it - it works out of the box, no messing around installing them like with Windows.
I just gotta spend some time getting the firmware and finding instructions on doing it with Heimdall, theres so many versions of the S2 it makes finding the right software complex.
And I ve just got to hope there isnt a problem with the usb port on the device or I m really buggered

Lol, I forgot that on Samsung devices you have to press home as well as power and vol up for recovery, found this out while trying to fins out how to unbrick it !
It wouldnnt boot but it WOULD boot to recovery, CWM recovery !
So flashed a CM kernel then Omni and all is fine, OmniROM installed !

Try flashing official frimware with odin or flash siyah kernel with heimdal
Should fix your problem
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.

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

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

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.

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.
