AT & T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-13I7

So I'm at a loss on what to do with my phone at this point..

Everything was running great until yesterday, I attempted to root it, the root attempt was unsuccesful but the phone still worked just fine and It even got shut off and turned on a few times after the failed attempt. But one time it froze up after installing an app and after that the phone got stuck on the boot screen.

So this morning I flashed the stock 4.1.2 Rom and it worked again, then I updated the phone on the device itself. OTA is what you would call it I believe. And now I'm back to where I started. The phone gets stuck on the galaxy note 2 loading screen and it wont start.

I cannot enter recovery mode in order to wipe the settings and clear the cache.
I can enter download mode however, and my attempts at flashing the stock firmware PASS on Odin but the phone only gets stuck on the loading screen again afterwards :(

Does anyone know what I should do?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch :)

Is there any way I might be able to enter a recovery mode using an micro SD card?

To which rom you updated? Know that from newest version there is no going back.

Edit : there's a way(maybe) to get to download mode. But not sure if it will work on your phone. There is a thing called jig kick USB. You can build one yourself.

Thats probably my problem then. I was running 4.3 and the stock firmware I installed was 4.1.

Is jig kick USB used to get into download mode, if thats the case then I am already able to do that. Just not get into recovery mode.

Yes I noticed later that you can access download mode. So try to flash the rom you updated to but for your carier as your phone is from at&t you should use their rom. I don't have carrier phone so I speak theoretically. But I guess you understand what I mean.

I just got the AT & T ROM from sammobile and flashed it with Odin, it says it passes, but once the phone reboots it just gets stuck on the loading screen again :(

Thanks for your help by the way :)

I'm having the exact same issue, 7100 Sprint. Odin flashes pass but still stuck on SGNII screen, can't flash recovery or ROM. Had 4.1.2 and accepted OTA mistakenly.

ive had something similar. had odin pass. no cwm / twrp access only stock recovery and stock downloader mode.

you need to flash a stock rom to get it back, then boot into it. connect pc. (a different usb port sometimes) get ODIN to reboot it into downloader mode. I had major problems getting to that point. but got it from flashing a stock rom. I have also had this old CM10 rom that fix's all partitions etc. i cant remember the name of it now.

a couple of times ive had issues getting into custom recovery. when you hold power +vol up + home key. when u do keep holding power. it loops boot and loops back again. when u release. make sure you hold power for like 1-2 seconds on logo. dont release power button before logo appears. wait a second after it appears. get it every time now.

Try to flash latest TWRP trough ODIN and check if you can boot in to recovery after that.
