So, i decided to finally root my Note 5 after figuring out how to do everything without a power button. Well, last night after rooting and flashing TWRP. I reset my phone not knowing about their new authentication thing. Basically, I can't get my phone to boot normally. It says on the Samsung screen with the red lets, but if I plug it in, it turns the screen on, shoes the red let,, shuts off, then repeats/
My problem is, I have no way of getting into download mode. ADB doesnt recognize the phone as it shuts off and off if plugged in, the function to put it in download stopped working for no apparent reason. I would get to the "Warning" messages before downloading through Odin, yet it wouldn't let me use the download or restart option.
So, Now I am stuck with it not working and had to go back to a Galaxy S3 (It's...so...smalll....) Doesn't anyone know of any possible way to get it into download mode or to bypass the authentication? Any help would be awesome, don't want an expensive phone to just die out on me before it's even a year old.

Ok, first and foremost congratulations on the rooting process, glad you could do it without a power button. However it is with sad news that there is nothing you can do without that power button. You're basically at a point of no return from what I can see unless you can get the power button repaired. Essentially you have a paper weight. Unless someone else has any ideas on what to try, I've got nothing.

Yup he needs to get the power button fixed at this point or he has a nice paperweight.

My only question is why not have fixed it in the first place once you knew it was not working?
Makes no sense really to leave it broken when you know you will likely need it.

Most likely this idea will not work either but have you tried to plug the phone into the
fast charger for 3-4 hours without touching it or trying anything, then plugging it into
the usb of your computer and see if ADB recognizes it?

Good luck!!!
