*Connect USB
*Data cable
Holding the OK button & power:
Safe Mode:
Open the Keyboard and hold the OK button when turning on the device.
Keep holding the OK button until the system is almost done booting up, and the device will vibrate.
It'll also have in the lower left of the screen "Safe Mode"
Volume down = AP Fastboot
Right navigation arrow (keyboard) = RP SBF Flash mode....same as in vol up and vol down menu but takes you directly to it
Up navigation arrow (keyboard) = RP Fastboot Flash Mode
M = Same as both volume down and volume up
B = Vendor flash mode
F = fastboot flash mode
have u experimented with them?
What is bp tools?
I haven't selected or tried any of them, I've only opened up each of these.

0A.33
would this be the name of the recovery some on here was looking for the name of it so they could make a custom one for root. i will try and find the tread and direct them here.
0a.33 is the bootloader version, not the recovery version.
The problem is that the bootloader is locked and encrypted and only accepts signed boot images and recovery images, so you can't gain root on a secured device via a custom recovery, unless you use a bootstrapped recovery on an already rooted device.
Safe Mode:
Open the Keyboard and hold the OK button when turning on the device.
Keep holding the OK button until the system is almost done booting up, and the device will vibrate.
It'll also have in the lower left of the screen "Safe Mode"

This works thanks. Trying it out because I keep loosing service. On the second phone so far. For some reason Opera Mini still works, but I doubt it would cause any issues.
[edit] Also FastReboot, Explorer(RootExplorer) and DroidLight work. The new music app doesn't see the sdcard.
While in recovery, pressing Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time will give you a menu. The options are to 1) restart the phone, 2) apply a (signed) update, 3) wipe the phone, 4) wipe the cache. Vol Up and Vol Down change the selection, while the power button selects.
When booted into FastBoot, Windows picks up a new device. I installed the ADB FastBoot (?) driver that comes with the SDK, but I was not able to ADB into the device. Pressing the power button will turn off the device immediately.
As a note, you can use ADB to boot into either one of these modes.
So am I understanding this as you can boot into Fastboot using ADB but it becomes unusable at that point?
You can use the fastboot mode access as it's designed though a somewhat limited set of commands are enabled. You can definitely use it to flash partitions on the D3.
That was proven today by krazykrvda when he tried flashing the Atrix preinstall to his D3, which worked but the dosu binary did not succeed in rooting the device.

Android system recovery <3e> (Seems the same)
In the name of science, I tried BP tools. Well, science and the fact that I can't use my SD card or listen to music since I did bloat removal and my ringtones are borked and i'm a bit frustrated. Anyways...
Chose BP tools and it just sat on the "Dual Core" screen until I hit volume up (this is with root, without the cable plugged in). With the cable plugged in it gives me a "searching for drivers" but doesn't find anything. I found this for reference about BP Tools but didn't have the same behavior as the Atrix.

When I hold both the volume buttons and press the power button, I am calling that 'recovery' mode. Is 'download' mode something different? If so, how do I get into download mode?
Yes, download mode will display a big yellow triangle with the android robot in the middle.
In download mode you can't do anything. Odin3 send files to the phone and all other commands.
I'm not sure if once in "download mode" you can boot back without flashing your phone...
To get into download mode you power off the phone (You can remove the battery to be sure) then plug the phone into USB. Let the battery screen show up, then do your key press (Volume up + Volume down + Power) hold all three until the third black screen (immediately black, battery, black, battery, black) then let go of power. That should give you the big yellow Android shovelling the crap.

Just yank the battery out. As long as nothings flashing onto the phone or anything (the blue progress bar isn't showing) then you should be fine. At least in my experience.
Yes there is.
Recovery Mode is where you would load an update.zip file. Two ways to access: 1. from adb type: adb reboot recovery 2. Power and both volume button method.
Download Mode is where you would load roms and kernels with Odin. Multiple ways to access, two easiest IMO: 1. if adb is available type: adb reboot download 2. Pull battery and usb, Install battery, hold down both volume buttons, keep buttons held and plug in usb cable. Dont touch the power button.
That is correct, if you havent flashed anything just battery pull and reboot to get out of download mode. Also if you botch a flash and your phone is frozen, when you reset the phone will go into a bricked mode that will show a phone, warning sign and computer. If your phone does this you'll need to do a battery pull and manually enter download mode reflash.

yes there is a difference between download and recovery mode
"download mode"
is that where you can able to install custom or stock roms or you can flash your android in this mode
but in
"recovery mode"
you have some commands given by phone you can use these command for reboot your android or reset to factory and other commands
Is there a way to boot on Safe Mode on our device using key combos ? (like enter fastboot)
I've managed to boot Pi-Llama clean flash without bootloops using Safe Mode, but i have no idea how to do that again.

The only way I know is to hold the power button until the menu pops up (the device needs to be booted up for sure), then long-pressing the shutdown menu-button. A message will appear to ask you, if you want to boot in safe mode.
I just found the combo by trial and error
Boot up your device while holding down Vol+ and Vol-.
Edit: Ok, after a bit of testing, the only button that activates safe mode is Vol-. But in order to not enter fastboot, you would need to power on -> wait 2 secs after the bootup-vibration and then hold down Vol-.
Hello. I have a razr I and decided to unlock the bootloader. I tried the button combination power + volume down several times, but the phone just powers up normally (actually rhe screen flashes for a second, but doesn't go into fastboot mode. I trided using adb reboot fastboot but the device just reboots. What can I do about it?
NVM, just did it by fastboot reboot bootloader...
Ok, one more thing. It seems my device ignores the key combo, but I was still able to get into fastboot mode by using adb. However, I have tried to flash a custom recovery with no success.
I tred using the supplied installer and after rebooting I get to the open robot screen with the red exclamation mark. Then, after holding some keys (not sure if power or power + volume down I get into recovery, but it's still the stock android recovery. Then I tried flashing the recovery image from fastboot mode. It sait the recovery was flashed, but still cannot boot into recovery. What's wrong with my phone?

Just incase you need to do it in the future:
Hold volume down, then hold the power button. When it begins to vibrate release the power button and keep the volume down button pressed until you get into fastboot.

Alright. So how about the never appearing CWM recovery?
Was just using my new XT1068 when it just froze and then refused to ever boot up again. The Android bluelogo on white screen appears and then goes away. Doing this again and again till the battery drains out.
Is there any solution other than returning it ?

I get the following Fastboot screen:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
48.07(*) (sha-eadfa...., 2013-07-09,17:07:22)
CPU: MSM8226 CS
eMMC: 16GB Sandisk RV=07 PV=01 TY=57
DRAM: 1024 MB Elpida S4 SDRAM DIE=4Gb
Battery OK
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Connect USB Data Cable.
Selecting "Factory" or "Recovery" simply gives me the same old boot loop with the logo screen and blank alternating till batterry die-out.
What is the "Connect USB Data Cable" instruction ? Is that necessary ?

ok your phone is 100% recoverable if you can still get AP fasboot flash mode
i will sort instructions to help (to follow) as several ways to fix 1st we try simple way
1) get to Ap fast boot mode (hold power and volume down until phone screen fully off and vibrates- count 1,2,3,4,5 and release release both button at same time - should be in AP fast boot mode)
2 use volume down (- ) minus to select recovery DO NOT touch power button
3) Use volume up (seems crazy but is the way) to enter recovery screen will go black
and the fallen android / red triangle comes up....
4) now hold power and quickly tap volume up... should enter recovery (this only works for lollipop) or for kitkat (use 4a)
4a)(optional for kitkat only) hold volume up and quickly tap power.... should enter recovery
5) in recovery volume down to wipe data/factory reset NOW use POWER to select (this take up to 5 mins to complete)
6) repeat with cache
7) reboot
phone should now work
no fallen android/red triangle comes up
When I enter into the AP fastboot mode and select either "Factory Reset" or "Recovery", the phone
again shows the Motorola/Android logo and starts bootlooping again.
I've attached a video of what happens when I select "Recovery" on youtube.
I don't get any fallen android/red triangle.

Install Motorola device manager (for usb drivers) save and run
https://www.motorola.com/getmdmwin
Now download the xt1068 5.0.2 or 4.4.4 in my signature (this will restore/update or downgrade phone)
extract to desktop ONLY do NOT RUN IT yet
download modified CORRECT auto restore script and extract then copy to the xt1068 5.0.2 or 4.4.4 folder (you should now have 2 auto restore scripts)
Manually put phone into AP FASTBOOT MODE (usb cable plugged in) hold power and volume down till screen goes blank (and may vibrate) still holding count 1,2,3,4,5 and release both to get to AP Fastboot flash mode
and run
Modified auto restore script
even if error appear keep going till end (if it allows)
Thank you!
Man, thank you for this - it really saved my ass
Would have been easier if you had mentioned that your script has to be executed in an ADB environment (containing fastboot.exe) though. :good: But anyway, after studying the error messages it helped me to get my Moto G back to life instead of having to send it to service.
Have a SM-T813. Attempting to use Odin to flash TWRP. All goes well be it keeps rebooting back into the normal recovery. I've tried different methods....with and without auto-reboot. I've read where some devices will replace the updated recovery if the proper key sequence is not used but I think that may be part of the issue. When done flashing I hit the power button and vol down button but instead of powering down it seems to power back up/reboot precluding me from hitting the proper key sequence to enter recovery mode. Home + Vol UP + Power.
And btw I have Allow OEM Unlocking and Allow USB debugging set.
Am I missing a procedure?

I have a 713 and the procedure is kind of funky but is the same. See lines 5-7 below. You literally need to move one finger from volume down to volume up while the fingers on power and home stay put.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/twrp-3-0-2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627
Flash with ODIN 3.10.7 in the AP slot.
Put your device in DOWNLOAD mode.
Uncheck Auto reboot.
Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.
After flashing and ODIN reports PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN.
As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER + HOME.
You should now see TWRP recovery.
Yep finally figured out the one finger deal from vol down to vol up. Installed and working fine now.
