A cashier's check is not a cancelled check unless it has been cashed. A cancelled check is one that has already been cashed.

No. A blank endorsement is you signing the check to deposit or cash to yourself. To transfer a check to another party, that is considered full endorsement. Endorsement is instructions to the bank what to do with the check. Example of full dendorement: pay to the order of Jane Doe. Jane Doe may now take the check that check and cash or deposit. I hope this helps you out.
Can you cash a cancelled check?
No. A cancelled check has no monetary value i.e., it is worth 0 rupees or 0 dollars whatever the local currency in which the check is issued. So you cannot cash a cancelled check. Even if you manage to deposit a cancelled check into an ATM machine, you will not get any money out of it.
What does for deposit only mean on a check?
I means exactly what it says, that the check can only be deposited, not cashed and no cash back on a deposit. An even more restrictive endorsement would be "for deposit only in acct. xxxxxxx". Generally speaking, people use this endorsement to prevent someone from stealing the check and then cashing it out.
