I found this on another forum:
### START
Please follow the steps below to be able to solve the problem
Soft Reset :
Remove the battery, then re-insert it.
Note: Soft resetting your phone deletes all unsaved data.
safe mode:
Press power key then press and hold the menu key
1. Press " power key " for power on device
2. Wait until "HTC logo" appears on screen
3. Press and hold " Volume down key " until entering OS
4. " Safe Mode " text will appears on the lower left of screen.
1.If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on.
2.Unlock your phone if the Lock screen is displayed. See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter.
3.Press and hold the POWER button, and then tap Restart.
4.When asked to confirm, tap Restart.
If you can’t restart the phone following the above steps, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, reinsert the battery, and then turn the phone on.
### END
Using the above procedure the DHD does NOT go into safe-mode. have you tested this ?
thats becuase we dont have a menu button.
Yes we have. Take a look at the button that says "Menu" on your device.
That is not actually a button its touch sensitive and that doesn't work when your booting

3: Still hold until the phone as vibrate
4: Release the button if you see in the bottom corner: Safe Mode

how do you get off the safe mode????
this method is tried and tested. To get out of safe mode all you need to do is turn the phone off then back on in the normal way

lmfao relax. Hold your volume button down, hold the end key down(the button you hang up the phone with) then push the power button.
When your phone boot you should see a gray screen that say serial, plug your device into the computer and serial should change into usb. Then run the rom and there u go

Doesn't that trigger Ramdump mode (well, I don't know what that means, actually)?
All the OP needs is to go to Bootloader Mode to flash a ROM via USB. Bootloader is easily accessed by: Turn off phone, then press/hold Volume Down + Power button.
thanks guys, ive been using android, and never a minmo device, thanks everyone!!

Sortof. I just tried task29 for the first time a few days ago. I freaked out when I got in the same situation as him, but then read through the thread. There's the option of shutting the phone off, and pressing vol down + power key. I ended up doing vol down + power key + push reset with stylus at the startup screen. Simplest solution for me.
taking off the battery, istnt that simplest?
Amd here is the theme about this

In the very first posting of the Task29 thread, it says :
When phone boots to "Touch Pro 2" screen (or whatever your splash screen happens to be), I hold down the volume down button while hitting the reset button.

IMO, the smartest thing to do is when Task29 is near 100% (I think it pauses at around 96%), hold down the Volume Down button. That way, when the phone (tries to) reboots, it goes straight to Bootloader.
thanks all you have been more than helpful, ive been using this site for a while (for my android device) but just recently made an account. All of you keep on getting it done!!!

Hey, I have a Touch Pro2 and I tried the key combination above and it didn't work for me. I did get it to work however using the send key (green button) instead of the end key....
I.e, held volume down button, held send key and pressed power key once... ;-)
Phone MUST be off before doing the key combo...
So i acceident flashed a theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751173) for ARHD v 9.1 but I was running v8.1
Now my phone automatically boots into safe mode and and the system.ui keeps crashing, I trued getting into my bootloader with no luck, the only thing I can do i reboot the phone but then it just goes back into safe
is there anything I can do?
If it boots and just system.ui is crashing, try to connect via USB and fastboot reboot-bootloader.
Or else try to press power + vol-up for sometime and as soon as it reboots keep pressed vol-down it might need a bit of timing though
This comes in handy if you have a problem being stuck in Safe Mode ....
To activate Safe Mode: press power key until shutdown menu shows, press 'shut down' until another menu opens with Cancel and Restart.
To deactivate Safe Mode: press power key until menu shows, now hold power key - a toast box opens - keep power pressed and now hold Vol+ (toast says 10 seconds and counts last couple) it should reboot as normal.

Should make it easier to get out of

Friends,
I tried using the #3845#*855# and pressed DEVICE TEST and my LG G3 32GB restarted. It just boots up in miniOS mode and the screen is blank..
I tried rebooting and pressing the POWER AND volume UP button together --- RESULT - NO EFFECT
I tried rebooting and pressing the POWER AND volume DOWN button together --- RESULT - NO EFFECT
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

THIS TRIC'LL DO IT, BUDDY..... SUGGEST NEXT TIME YOUSTAY CLEAR OF THE HIDDEN MENU THOUGH!!! UNFORTUNATELY YOU'LL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA..NO JUMPING THIS.
1. Start your phone up by holding onto both the power button and the buttom volume key. When the logo pops up, let go for a second, and hold onto both buttons again. This should bring up the option to reset your phone. Agree to both prompts.
2. You should be on a new screen. It may warn you not to touch the screen because it is calibrating or testing it. You will have to press OK, and then give it a few seconds to do that bit.
3. The screen should have a list of options at this point (some of which say "+power) on them. If you want to use any of these options, you need to hold the power button, and then press that option on the screen. Press "normal boot (+power)" (don't forget to hold the power button at the same time). This should put your phone back to normal, and set it up again just like it came out of the box.
ENJOY YOUR PHONE BACK
I tried flashing ViperOneM8 1.8.0 (ViperOneM8 1.7.1 -> 1.8.0) which I guess was the wrong thing (I think that was an update, should have started with 1.7.1 first). Anyway... Now my M8 boots to some type of android base OS without a lot of things...
1) It's not possible to get to settings as there is no settings app in the app drawer.
2) There is no title bar/task bar at the top. The area that holds the time, and a few icons at the top is gone.
3) There is no background.
4) There is no way to get on the WiFi do to #1 and because of this I can not add my google account. That in turn means no google play store access.
But the BIGGEST thing of all... I CAN NOT BOOT TO FASTBOOT!!!
- Power the device off.
- Hold the volume down button (also tried the volume up button) + press power usually boots strait to fastboot mode.
I THINK it has something to do with the fact that by default in the settings I need to untick the fastboot option in the dev options.. Well I can't get to settings. Now what?

Shut down phone.
Turn it on
Hold volume up+power button until it restarts
As soon as you get the black screen for restart release power button and hold volume down.
If your timing is right you will enter bootloader.
I tried it and it definitely works
Flash your nandroid or any rom you know was ok to begin with and you are up and running!!!

Tried that...
1) Powered off device.
2) Held power button for about 2 seconds until it came on then let go.
3) IMMEDIATELY I pressed and held down the power and volume up buttons.
4) The phone continues to boot up a little bit longer and gets to the verizon check (verizon splash screen) then shortly after goes black (as expected).
5) IMMEDIATELY let go of power button continuing to hold volume up button.
... .. .. .
6) I get the white screen that says HTC (powered by android)... NOT a bootloader screen as expected.
Update... When I try to click on the app drawer then top right click the little three dots, I try and "Manage Apps" ... ERROR "App isn't installed"...
:/

If you connect the phone to the computer, can you get fastboot or adb to recognize the phone?
If so, you can try adb reboot bootloader command or fastboot reboot bootloader comand

After 4 you release power button and press volume DOWN.
This will get you to the bootloader

Yea, I ended up doing the following...
1) While device is powered on, Press and hold Volume Up + Power until device reboots.
2) When it starts to reboot continue holding the Power button and change to the Volume Down.
That worked for me.
Here's how you can enable it:
Turn the device off.
Tap and hold the power button to start.
Once the logo appears, release the power button and hold the volume down button till the device finishes booting up.
Why is it needed? For instance you've messed up the launcher, or you have some nasty malware, or you want to benchmark the phone knowing that nothing heavy is running in background.
The save mode is when you have any magisk modul installed what makes problem than after you have bootet in save mode and reboot to normal mode all magisk modul since disabled and you can uninstall the modul what have maked probs
And in save mode all apps what you have installed now hiden

While I don't own this device, but in earlier OnePlus [or any Android for that matter], we could just long-press the Restart option to bring up the Safe Mode prompt. Has this been removed from OnPlus 11?
