I don't have this device, but what was done to start your bootloop? Anyways, you should be able to download the firmware for your model from here and use Odin to flash. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N8000/

thanks for your quick reply. i have downloaded the firmware. what to do next? i have downloaded odin on my laptop too.

You have to install all of the drivers, boot into download mode (usually vol-, power, and home buttons from power off) Then load the firmware into the pda slot and make sure repartition is not checked.

It appears at least one person with this issue was following the wrong instructions to boot into recovery. However if this works, it will be stock recovery since you just flashed firmware. If you can get into recovery maybe a factory reset will break the loop. When powered off hold vol+ and power until the Samsung logo appears then release power but keep vol+ held in.

Another person said they fixed the bootloop by taking it apart and unplugging the battery for a few seconds. I actually had to do this not too long ago on my TAB 3.

i will try to unplug battery tomorrow. holding power button and vol+ starts recovery mode but before it fully enters recovery mode and show me recovery options it restarts again, weired. i am not worried about any data on the tablet as there was no useful data.i will be happy even if i lose all data and get it back working with no apps i installed and no pictures or videos etc.
