Uh-oh... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

So my rooted phone has been vibrating recently for no reason. I googled it and came up with "power down, reboot to recovery, navigate with the buttons to wipe cache, then reboot".
I did that, selected yes to continue, and it's been doing this for a while. I'm ticked because I usually research everything pretty heavily and did not this time. What should I do now? How long might I expect this to take?

you are in Download mode not recovery mode
to enter recovery press vol+ + home + power at the same time, when u see Samsung logo remove ur finger from power only and wait till recovery starts

Thank you! Can I do that here or do I need to get out of download first?
Heck, how do I just get back to regular operation? I need to research a lot more on this...

Fixed! I took off my case this time; I think my Defender was screwing up the volume button pushing.

Firstly - I am glad you solved your problem.
Now - If you ever need to get out of Download mode then just pull the battery.

Broken Power Button and WM 6.1 Help

nicematt said:
So I dropped my dash and it landed perfectly on the power button. I wasn't even that far, I was sitting down and it slid out of my lap as I was sitting down on a small chair.. maybe 2ft drop at most. Well it pushed the power button too far in and it ****ed up something to where I cannot use that button. I have, however, stuck a paperclip in the right position or the right "button" on the phone's motherboard/chip and it has turned off/on.. but that's a gamble (I don't know how I hit the right spot, but I've done it twice).
Is there any way I can fix this? I know the warranty will not cover it.. so I'm thinking about opening up the phone myself, but I don't know what I would do from there.
Also, if I wanted to flash the new 6.1 ROM, does it require use of this button? I've been too afraid to attempt this new ROM as I don't want to get stuck in a situation where I can't turn my phone off.
*Currently I'm using a program on my phone to perform a "soft reset" when I need to restart my phone.
Thanks for any help!

Here's a visual aid; the button I'm referring to --

Oops, double post. Sorry.
You don't have to use your power button to flash a new OS. However if you run into problems, you might need to use to turn your phone back on. It's a gamble.... it all depends if you're up to it or not!
Ok, how about opening it up and fixing it? Is it possible to open it up and re-seat the power button so that it works again? Should I buy a new button from someone with parts?
You get a whole new case, which I'm sure comes with a button... or Try www.cnn.cn for parts. Or open the phone and see if you can fix it, maybe it's just an easy fix.

Can you get it into fastboot mode? If so then you should be able to flash the stock ROM again.
No, it can't be turned on.

Just to verify, if you hold volume up and down and power at the same time it doesn't boot into the bootloader??
That's where the CPU is I think, where you have highlighted.
If it did fry then you can get a replacement but try the bootloader first.
Also the phone will switch off if it gets tell hot too so maybe that's it.
Thanks, I tried to boot into bootloader with or without usb, but it doesn't work

Pull the battery for a minute or two and try again.
Is it still hot?
It'll cool down after i removed the battery, and won't fry if a put the battery again.
But if i press the power button it will get hot.(not very hot, a little warm)
Is there any way that i can start the phone with only usb cable?

MIUI piano lockscreen pattern gone wrong.

Hello,
I was being dumb.
I installed the piano lockscreen v2 on MIUI V3.6.7. I changed my password to 5,5,4. But there should not be any commas so I have to write 554 instead. The numbers represent the keys from left to right, so 554 would mean the notes G,G,F.

Anyway, now I can't lock my phone. So then I tried to go into recovery and reflash the MIUI rom + gapps, but it didn't work, as the piano lockscreen was still there. Then I tried again to get into recovery and that's when I got the dead android again.
So now I'm in a situation where I can't either unlock my phone, not get into recovery and not being able to use GN toolkit as I can't unlock the darn phone to toggle the USB debug.
Can anybody help me please? What the hell should I do?
Wipe data/factory reset in recovery. Turn off phone, push and hold power and both volume buttons, select recovery. If that's not working, try flashing another recovery using fastboot.

Yeah the toolkit did the trick for a new recovery. I was thinking about it, but somehow I thought it wouldn't work because I couldn't toggle the USB debug in my phone as I couldn't unlock the lockscreen.
Anyhow, thank you.

Fastboot doesn't require the phone to be bootable, which is nice.
No prob.

Press and hold volume up + volume down + power button all at the same time until the phone turns off and powers back on. Once the phone starts to reboot, let all 3 buttons go at the same time. That should do it.
Thank you, I tried this but didn't get any results.

Question Fold3 Keeps rebooting again and again

So my phone keeps restarting and it actually opens up and nothing happens until I unlock the phone. Once I do unlock it, everything freezes and it reboots.
Any solutions guys?
A recording of what happens
have you tried to wipe the Cache from in recovery?
The phone is not loading the recovery as well. Not sure if I'm doing it right but I keep holding power and volume up when it is off, but it just boots normally.
Getting a message "PDP ... Backup Fail"
Update: I could enter the recovery by connecting the phone to the PC and wiped the cache.
Yet, the issue still there.
Maybe time to do a factory reset ?
OP, have you modified the system at all? Unlocked bootloader, rooted, and/or installed a custom recovery or OS?
Also have you added any new apps ? Maybe you added something that isn't playing nice.
You could try to boot to safe mode:
Simultaneously press and hold the
Side button
and
Volume down button
(right edge) until the 'Power off' prompt appears on the screen then release.

Touch and hold
Power off
until the 'Safe mode' prompt appears then release.
To confirm, tap
Safe mode
.
This process may take up to 30 seconds to complete.
Upon reboot, 'Safe mode' appears in the lower-left of the unlock / Home screen.
With Safe Mode enabled, ensure Airplane Mode is turned off then test device and app functionality.
