earlier today i got stuck inside the rescue mode, i already got help on discord on how to get out, however i wanna know if i could weakened the security of my phone somehow, as when i was in my panic mode i tried pressing random button combinations, and tried some guides online that did not work. so could i have broken something? and if yes any way to check and fix?

hm, what is the rescue mode used for then? i didint connect the phone to my pc or anything just spammed random buttons
faaaaaj there's not much information about Rescue Mode specifically, although it seems to be used by some specialized software and offers ADB functions (obviously a computer is required for all of those).

so 100% i couldnt have done anything dangerous to the integrity of the phone using just the power and volume buttons?
again i did basically every combination i could think of. including just spamming the buttons
faaaaaj no, there is nothing to meddle with just by pressing buttons.

okay, cause i know you could do some stuff in recovery mode like a factory reset, so i thought rescue mode would be simmilar. but yea if it all requires outside tools then cool
however if anyone else has any info on how the rescue mode works, i will gladly hear it.
