Hi there, Guys.
I'm noticing that it's so difficult to load the Stock Recovery Mode! For example, when the device is off and I hold Volume Up + Home + Power, I can't load it if I hold them forever, just like I used to do on the first Note.
Basically, I need to stop holding them absolutely immediately after "Galaxy Note II - GT-7100" white letters disappears to have success loading it.
Is this normal or just with me?
If using CWM, this would be different? For example, My Galaxy Note has CWM and It loads so easily just holding the three buttons forever. I don't need to "respect this ultra fast time gap" after device white letters name appears to release buttons!
=====
Edit:
Just noticed that actually I need to release the three buttons WHILE the "Galaxy Note II" white letters are still on the screen.
I'm confused. Can't understand this "time out" rule that messed up the "easyness" to enter Recovery Mode.
You'r not alone, i have this too. Is your device rooted ? Mine is (with chainfire method), maybe it's a side effect of rooting.
Edit: Thank for the tips on how to enter recovery mode, very useful ))
I can enter recovery easily by holding the three buttons, then when the white note 2 logo appears, let go of the power button and keep holding only the volume and home button until you get into recovery. Works every time.

That's right, after some time and fails I'm used to it. Actually I don't release just Power Button, but all three buttons when white logo appears and it works also!

So I used ROM Manger to go to recovery, then wiped. then install update.zip, which was cynanogen 7. then it installed only for some 20 secs. then my phone now keeps on boot looping only until motorola logo.
I removed battery, pressed volume down and power, then the phone went to triangle with exclamation mark and android, then here is the problem, i tried to press volume up and volume down: 1) at once quickly, 2) together hold 3) one at time, but no luck, a nothing happened, still stuck with the triangle.
looking for your advises, thanks in advance.
for got to mention, when i try "volume up + power" it goes boot load and as i have mention above when i press "volume down + power" it goes to triagle with android,
so im sure the three buttons are working.
is there a special speed on pressing the volume up and volume down button?
thanks.
i dont think theres a speed/time for pressing the buttons, so thats not the problem. do you have clockworkmod or any custom recovery on your phone, or just the stock?
Sent from my superfast CM7 Defy.
it is stock rom 2.1, but i have it rooted and installed ROM Manger and the Clockwork Mod for Defy installed. On the clockwork i chose "normal boot"
what other boot options do you have?
Sent from my superfast CM7 Defy.
before there I had three options, 1) Recevery boot 2) Normal Boot 3) off to boot
but now i cannot change this anymore, as the phone is stuck in the motoral log or that triangle thing...

If you are on 2.1, to access the stock boot menu you press the bottom right corner of the screen. From 2.2 up they changed it to pressing volume up/down at the same time (basically, pressing in the middle of the volume button).

when you see android robot with triangle, then try to press the volume up & down together to enter stock recovery.

yea, it because he did the wrong way. I have done it several times, I'm on miui right now with 2nd init installed, and when I reboot to stock recovery, I got green robot with triangle like him, BUT (still in that mode) I press the volume up and down at the same time (it's like pressing in the middle of volume button between up and down) for a few second. Then you will enter stock recovery. Try it
"1) at once quickly, 2) together hold" he tried everything, it's in the first post!

its WORKs..

Exactly, press the screen!
awsome yeah it helped, first volume down and power until u see the droid and exclamation mark and then both volume down and up together and u enter recovery.
no one could ever explain this better. thanks!
Does anyone know the hard button press to get into TWRP, I used to do vol up/down for cmw but that no longer works, not sure if there is a different way to get into recovery in case of a bad flash. I went on their website with no luck and I know many people use this now.
Thanks Rob
The combo is vol up + home. Reboot phone, hold those two until you see the blue text in the upper left corner, then release. Holding the buttons until recovery is booted is unnecessary.

maybe your power button has an issue ?
Looks like we have the same problem. Posted about it here:

holding down the power button has this exact effect.
I believe your power button might be permanently stuck 'in' - if it doesn't feel this way, try slipping a pin (only a tiny way and while the phone is OFF and UNPLUGGED from any socket) into the gap between the power button and the phone casing. it's a small gap but give it a little wiggle. with any luck it will come unstuck.
good luck !
Beginning to see a pattern here folks......I've commented on two other threads about exactly this problem......it's definitely a faulty power button. Officially the only way to sort it is to get the entire main board replaced.....if you have the standard 2 year warranty....use it.....
The phone won't boot normally, so there's no way Samsung can tell what OS you're running and try to claim 'warranty void' so just go for it....
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM
Just posting here to report about my phone with a very similar issue.
Like what the others have said in this thread, its the power button. I just came from the repair shop and they replace mine with a new power button. The phone works perfectly now.
thanks for the info mate. will try to change the power button.
First off, I'll openly admit I'm an idiot and missed the bit about needing to update the bootloader on my T800 and now my tablet won't do anything other than sit at the Samsung boot screen.
I've tried doing the power button + volume down + home button key sequence but it just reboots. Same thing about switching to volume up after it goes dark. I'm not sure if I just haven't gotten the sequence down properly or if it's just a lost cause at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If you've held the power button, vol down and home button simultaneusly the device should boot to download mode. At that point you would select volume up to enter the mode. Are you sure you are holding these long enough and that the device is not plugged in?
If you are on a 7.x.x. rom then you may be having the same problem as me. If you came from the Samsung 6.0.1 rom then you already have the right boot loader.
Plug in charger and then power button all you need to do is stop the boot loop so you can get it in to the mode you need......

Thanks, stinka318. Right now, it's stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S boot screen and will sit there until the battery runs out. Are you saying plug it into power right now and hit the power button or do I need to let the battery completely die then plug it back in so it's powered off to start with?
Thanks for the help!

If I hold the power button, vol down and home button down simultaneously, it will reboot the device but then go back to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S boot screen. I've tried holding that down until my fingers go numb (how long have you had to hold it down for?). I've also tried letting go of the vol down and moving it to vol up once the screen goes black then releasing the power button when the Samsung screen comes up but that doesn't do anything either. Everything that I've ever tried just ends up showing the Samsung screen. So frustrating!
Thanks for the help!

Yep plug it in now and hit the power button it will show the battery charging icon from that you should be able to do thing you need to recover it.
boot into download mode (was mentioned how to do it on this thread already), go to ODIN, flash the bootloader, boot into twrp, wipe everything (to be safe), and flash your desired rom

That sucks to hear man. But are you sure that's the right combination to get into the bootloader?
I'm on the tmobile version note 10+ and you have to shut the phone off and press and hold the Bixby button and the volume up button. Not sure if it's the same for other regions though.

phone plugged into pc.. press vol down and side key until screen goes off.. quickly press vol up vol down and side key until dl mode comes up, basically when screen goes off hold down all buttons until dl mode comes up..
if u end up trying to hold vol down and side key what happens is if its taking a while u end up doing a hard reset and device will seem to not be doing anything bcuz u keep resetting it. at least this is how i get to dl mode in these type situations.
