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

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

[Q] Getting problems after failed flashing CMW

Hi everyone. As title, I tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy W using Android Terminal Emulator...the flashing LOOKED successful so I tried rebooting into clockworkmod recovery. Here's where the problem starts :
- after the Samsung logo, the phone automatically goes into the page before download mode (the page with the "Warning!!" and a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark within it) regardless of what I press ... (pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home / Power Button + Volume Down + Home / Power Button alone also takes me to this page)
- Once at this page I have 2 choices : either press volume up or down... pressing Volume Up (which is stated as "Continue" freezes my phone)
Pressing Volume Down (which is stated as "Cancel (restart phone) ) will just make the phone reboot itself and then comes back to this screen
Is there any solution to this ?? as I dont thik I am able to enter Download mode since pressing volume up will just freeze up my phone

Can't even go to download mode when you switch your phone off and use the combination of power home and volume up?

pull your battery out.
insert again, go to download mode
and try to reflash CWM via odin, make sure you tick the "auto reboot" in odin.

Tried flashing Viper and now can't get to fastboot menu!

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.

How to reliably start TWRP

I have TWRP installed, and have managed to run it a few times. Now I cannot start TWRP at all.
From off, if I switch on, the following happens:
1) Screen with Samsung Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox
2) 0.5 seconds later another screen, "this phone's bootloader is unlocked and it software integrity. .." and "press power key to continue..."
3) 5 seconds later, same screen as (1)
4) 3 seconds later, red letters "this phone is not running Samsung's official software"
5) 3 seconds later blank screen with "samsung" and then booting to android.

In my experience I have to flash twrp every time I want to use it( I don't know the reason but I couldn't fix it ) , for booting twrp on the other hand I turn off the phone first, then I press power button+volume down until the "this phones bootloader..." screen appears, here is the tricky part, you have to quickly let go of these two buttons, press power button, let go of the power button (after the warning disappeared) and then press volume down button (and hold it) until twrp logo appears, this happens really fast so you may need to do it a few times to get used to it.

Yes, same here, the only time I have managed to run TWRP on this phone, is right after a flash.

Power off the device, plug into a pc, wait for it to start charge, hold vol up and power till it turns on. Wala boots to twrp. If you have magisk installed,you can use the reboot option within magisk.

Samsung changed how to enter recovery on Android 11. Power off device, plug into pc, wait for it to charge, then hold vol up and power till it turns on. Alternatively, if you have magisk installed, use the reboot options within magisk.

I did that. Thanks!
But it has gone to:
Android Recovery
Samsung /a70qxx/a70q
11/RP1A.200720.012./A705FNXXUB5DVB3
user/release-keys
Use volume up/down and power.
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe date/factory reset
...
...
...
Where is TWRP? It seems it's gone.

That's because you're not installing it properly go back to my guide and follow it exactly and stop listening to these other people. I've been modding this device since it first came out with Android 9, I know every inch of this device. You're getting confused by what other people are telling you

It fails here, on this step. After successful flash of recovery.tar, power + vol down to reboot, cable still connected, nothing you can do now can bring TWRP up. The phone boots into Android.
EDIT: I think I have now got it. I will update in a few mins.

After successful flash of recovery.tar, power and vol down to reboot, as soon as the phone screen goes blank, immediately release all keys and press and hold vol up. Must be as soon as screen goes blank. The device will then reboot twice and land you in twrp splash screen. You must hit vol down and power after successful flash then when screen blanks, vol up. If you miss this step, twrp will not hold and revert back to stock recovery.

Here is the notes I made today:
****************************************************************
INSTALL + START TWRP
phone is off
press up + dn
insert cable
go into download (press up)
ODIN 3.14 + AP:tar(vbmeta.img+twrp.img), auto reboot off, press upload
when it succeeds, press dn + pwr until it reboots
then quickly up + pwr until it starts (no need to hold down)
this starts in TWRP
from powered off
press pwr button
goes into twrp or android(system) -- depending on what was used last time
if we used reboot->system last time it will now **Always** go into system!
to go back into twrp:
switch off
power cable until charge
pwr + up until it starts
****************************************************************
The above means that you CANNOT go back to TWRP unless you have a cable and a PC near by.

How To Guide Safe boot mode in ColorOS/OxygenOS 13

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?
