my galaxy note is able to show "samsung galaxy..." wordings when booting up. However, the LCD then becomes blank screen. nothing shows..
i use it pretty normal. no ROOT, no flashing custom ROM on it.
the Note has the following characteristics:
1. it is able to light up when i press button "menu" and "back"
2. it is able to give sound "beep" when pressing "volume up/down" button
3. i try to enter recovery mode (press "vol down + home + power") , just show "samsung galaxy..." wordings , then blank screen again..
right now, i really don't know what i can do..
any suggestions?
thankx for all firstly...

Take battery out, put it back in, press power and volume down, when you see the samsung writing let go of the power button but do not let go of the volume down button. When you see that it goes to download mode let go of the volume key. If you are able to do this, you are fine. Use kias to flash the update again or download from the dev forum. Let us know if you can put your phone on download mode so we can tell you what to do next. GL

If you are able to get in to dl mode, then you are basically out of the woods. You can flash via Odin or Kies.
Note...where BIGGER is better!

I had rooted my Tab and put CWM recovery on it. But then the TouchWiz update wasn't installing, so I unroot by flashing the OTA, then used Odin to go back to stock recovery. Now I can't even get into downloading mode. I hold the power and Vol down, it pops up for a split second, then goes away and reboots. Anybody got any suggestions?

As soon as you it pops up, let go the power button and volume down key. Then use the volume up key for download mode.

take it easy ... try pulling battery and getting into download mode again like wish777 described ..if that works then follow the link i posted..
does odin still recognize the phone???
I can't speak from experience because I've never owned the note but over in tmobile Galaxy S II theres a thread like this. Is it black screen with red font on it saying firmware error? If so its the same unrecoverable boot loop I saw.

The mode your describing is download mode but you'll have to vol up to go into the mode. As for your cwm question, try a battery pull then insert while holding up and down and power, when you feel the first vibration let go of power and continue to hold the Vol buttons until your recovery opens,if it will. I would be pleased to know download mode works and forget about cwm of its not working. Odin back to stock then try again. Also when you think your phone or computer "freezes" give it more time to finish processes. Don't be hasty.

i tried what you stated but i keep getting stuck in the first screen. how can i tell if odin recognizes the phone? is it when the yellow box comes up with the com? if i see that, what can i do to fix this?
if the yellow box comes up with a port number than yes it recognizes the phone..follow the odin instructions carefully ..
take your time !!!

hold power button along with volume +/- when you see samsung logo release only the power button, then once logo disappears release volume buttons..that should get you into CWM. once you have it all set up, you may want to try TWRP instead of CWM.
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Also ...
Depending on the version of CWM..it uses the double tap style to function ....making you push each area twice to toggle it ..
Then to go back to the previous screen you use the back arrow at the device bottom ..
The koush touch method is only one touch ....
Good luck brother ...
We're here for ya ...g

OK, i feel like a real noob now :crying:
I tried to upgrade my P3100 to Slim-p3100-4.2.2.build.6-OFFICIAL following the tutorial i found.
Result of this is that now tablet is non more able to enter either CWM recovery nor odin download mode and after normal boot i can only see a flashing Slim logo on the right part of the screen.
The best i am able to obtain is a "forced upload by key pressing" screen rebooting with all three buttons pressed.
Odin can see the device but when i try to re-upload cwm is stits in Establishing connection.
All threads i found in this forum were about phones and nothing about tablets. Anyone can give me an hint on next steps i should follow?
Thank you all

A small update:
I also tried to disconnect battery for 4 hours, but still unable to enter in recovery mode.
When you reach the slim logo, keep holding the power key for about 6,7 seconds. You will hear a vibration, leave the power key and immediately press vol up and power key again(do these steps fast after the vibration). When the galaxy tab 2 screen comes leave the power button, keep holding the vol button. Now check whether you can enter recovery now.

So, i tried tens of times, but nothing.....
flashing logo ---> power for several seconds till i head vibration --> as soon as i hear vibration leave power and faster as i can push vol up and power ---> release power as soon as Samsung logo appears ---> some colors on scree and slim logo again.....
Am i missing anything?
attached are photos of logo blinking
Nope. U didn't missed any thing.
U cant enter the recovery mode, must be a problem of recovery, try doing the same with power down, so that you can enter the download mode. Then odin can be used. Hope this works, and your tab becomes alive agan. All the best

You need to be able to get to download mode to be able to do anything.
Vol down and power and home then press up. Maybe the button is stuck so press it hard.

Instead of clicking the volume up button in that screen, try clicking the home button. First time you click it, it shows you the SKU, IMEI etc, click the home button again to go into to ODIN mode.
I did as you said, odin detects after pressing the home button, i dowloaded the official firmware and install it using odin. odin says pass but nothing happens to my phone, it stucks in s6 edge screen and i cam still see the bar.
maybe you need to unplug your phone before going into d.loadmode. If nothing happens try to push the 3 buttons for a longer time, finely your phone will shutdown or reboting into downloadmode

Try going into recovery mode now and see if it works. I had a similar problem where the flash passes but was still stuck in a bootloop, I couldn't even go into recovery mode, I visited a Best Buy store with a samsung experience shop and they flashed the stock firmware using SMART but it was still stuck in a bootloop. So, I sent my phone to the samsung repair center, I think it's a motherboard problem.
Maybe your flashed the wrong kernel?
If the kernel is incorrect then your phone will be as well.
