I had installed CM 10.1 successfully and everything was fine. The I installed Perseus Kernel from ROM Manager and it booted into Recovery (CWM) and installed Perseus without a problem, then when rebooting I got stuck on the screen "Samsung GALAXY Note II". I've tried to press the Vol-, Vol+ and Vol-, Home, remove Battery, etc, to try to get into Recovery or Download mode but nothing, I always get the same screen "Samsung GALAXY Note II". Please an help or advice on how to get into Recovery or Download mode, what should I do?.
NOTE: I already removed the SD Card and SIM Card.
Thanks a lot

Delete - you tried a battery pull and download mode. So I don't know what else to try. I know the captivate had a jig to get to download mode. I don't know if such a thing exists for the note 2

Agreed with above pull the battery keep it out then hold the volume down and connect it to your computer.

I did try the removing the battery but did not work the first time, probably did not fully pressed Vol+ and Vol-, now it's working fine. Thanks a lot.
What Kernel should I use?, I think the problem was related to incompatibility between CM 10.1 and Perseus.
Recovery mode:
pull battery
re insert battery
3 button combo (hold volume up + home + power)
hold until splash screen then release

This is what I was about to say. I don't think that Perseus will work with anything but TouchWiz ROMs, so that is more than likely your problem. Just reflash CM10.1 and you should be able to boot.
That's the thing. He's trying to get into recovery mode which he is unable to do at the moment.

Thanks, now I know that there are two types of ROM, I just installed ForceKernel (OC TO 1,920Mhz) and then run some benchmarks and it's much slower than Perseus, I used to get in Perseus around 7,500 in Quadrant and now I get between 5,500 to 6,500, am I doing something wrong ?
NOTE: I am using SetCPU and the Governor is "pegasusq"
U should just keep the original kernel that comes with the rom...flashing other kernels can hard brick ur phone and you'll have send it in to get repair...

Try hooking up and connect via usb to ur computer. Use the cmd prompt. Adb/adb reboot recovery. See if that works. Shouldn't Need to be jtagged if it's at least booting somewhat. Jtag is for hard bricks. When the phone won't boot AT ALL.

No your not doing anything wrong, CM10 in benchmarks are known not to produce as high of numbers. Benchmarks are only a number. So it appears its fixed, Reporting this thread to the mods to close.

If you're able to boot into cwm, then you're fine.
I'm assuming you were flashing a ROM, so just wipe everything x3, and reflash the ROM or a different one.

Now that doesn't make sense. You can safely get into CWM, but not into download mode?
I have to ask to make sure. With the phone off, you're holding the 1 key on the keyboard and then holding the power button?
Well if that's the case, get to a PC and insert your SD card into a reader. Download a kernel, like Genocide v2 or etc to the card, and boot into CWM to flash the new kernel off the card. See if that helps.
yes i hold down 1 and the power button, and i tried the genocide2.0 and it still does the same just the samsung screen has a different logo

If your phone has life you should be able to get into download mode. Take your battery out, press the power button for 10 seconds. With the battery still out connect with cable to computer and press and hold the 1 key on the keyboard and then add pressing and holding the power button. Download mode will appear. Connect to Odin now.

I have been using Cyanogen Mod for years now and have never had issues, When I saw a Official Nightly of CM10 for my SGH-T989 I figured I would flash it.
I did what I always do,
1. Created Backups for phone.
2. Used Darkside Superwipe for Both Phone and Cache
3. Installed CM10 with the corresponding Jelly Bean Gapps
When I turn my phone on now it just spins the new CM10 boot screen permanently, I cannot access Download mode but I can access a semi broken clockwork mod Recovery using the Power+Volume (Up and Down). Anything else causes the phone to vibrate every 2 seconds.
I have given it an hour or so on just BootLoop and it is never going to boot.
Is there anything I can do?
I am using CWM v.6.1.0.4
Update: If I hold down BOTH volume buttons and power + Home I can get into clockwork mod now. However it seems to freeze when doing much of anything. Very odd
Update: Looks like nothing can really be done within it. Every task freezes the phone almost instantly, When I try to restore backup I get MD5 Mismatch Errors. This task doesn't freeze the phone
Odin back to stock is your best bet. I use twrp haven't had any problems. I flashed cm 10 official about 4 hours ago and its running great

Man that was silly of me, Thank you so much. If I could give you a hug right now I would hahaha So you are a fan of TWRP over Clockwork?
Mine did it too on another ROM, Sith. Supposedly the power button issue, but it was rom related...there are more and more people getting this weirdness with latest roms. I did what was mentioned above, got into ODIN...by the skin of my teeth, flashed back to stock and RAN (did not walk) to tmobile. I was able to get a PASS on odin and it would boot to the start up screen but google services and something else was force closing. I told the tmo rep that my phone was acting up and as a last ditch effort I did a full factory reset...and this is what I got. My replacement phone came in 2 days.
Good luck. I'm telling you guys, all these power button issues, boot loops etc are due to these new roms. I never had scary stuff like this on any gingerbread roms...EVER. MY replacement came with 4.04 so I'm good, staying stock until somebody figures out whats frying these phones.

Have you tried a factory and data reset to factory settings from the recovery? Usually fixes the problem. Always do that before and maybe after a custom rom zip installation.
He said it wont boot into recovery, but he didn't answer whether or not he can get into download mode. Thats his only hope if recovery isn't booting.
I cant get it on turn on period. if I try t boot into recovery, it does nothing. very stange!!

This may not be it but are you sure the phone is charged and has enough battery life? I'm wondering what battery % you were at when you started the process?
Maybe try removing the battery for 10 seconds and trying to boot into recovery again?

From download mode, if that works which it should, use Odin to reflash stock ROM then install CM10 over it after reflashing CWM.

To flash the rom by scrosler is the exact same way you flashed cm10. Before you do anything I suggest you take a few hours and read this over and over until you know what you are doing.

If you want download mode, you could try a USB jig.
I thought about that, but didn't suggest because he will almost certainly still have boot problems until he can boot recovery and factory reset.
Worth a try if a jig is handy, but if you have to order or make one it'll probably just add more time to getting it fixed.

Battery pull I guess is probably the only way. If you're running completely stock, you'll probably need to flash an insecure kernel for ADB to work in recovery.
This may be of use to you though....If you use the KT747 4.4.2 kernel, when you plug it in it will turn on the device if it's already off. You have to be on a stock based 4.4.2 rom to use it though.
I know it doesn't address your current issue, but thought I'd mention it in case something like that was useful for now.

If i pull the battery and wait(did it like 2h) and install it back, it reboots in recovery though
You can't flash anything from stock recovery. You'd need to install TWRP. Are you rooted?
How did you flash the stock rom?
You really need to get odin working though. Uninstall kies. Try different USB drivers, different cables, ports....
