Unable to Boot in Safe Mode - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just rooted MOTO G XT1033.
Unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP latest and then flashed SU binary from ZIP. I am on Stock 5.1 (Latest for XT1033).
Want to go to Safe Mode but not able to, every time booting normally.
Steps I followed:
Long press power button, hold the popup "Power off" and then click "OK" when it asks the confirmation to boot in Safe Mode.
After this phone is switching off and when its ON it is in normal boot.
If anybody can help me with this.
Please let me know if I am missing something or anything additional?

[Q] Recovery Mode Question

Hey!
Hope you can explain me this.
I reboot in recovery mode mi LG Optimus ME P350 (rooted with "gingerbreak") using the "Fast Reboot" app from market.
The phone reboots like new one, I had to set the language, date, time, google accounts, all settings, etc ... and all the apps I installed are gone.
my question is: Is this a mode that can go out and get back to what I had before? Or just it reset the phone to me and I have to start again?
thanks for reading.
cheers.
Well I know that it is a little bit older this post, and i assume that you started over with everything. But you were right you must start from the begining as trying to enter recovery mode without having installed a custom recovery puts the phone in factory reset and everything is deleted except firmware.
But if you have flashed recovery with a custom recovery the phone will enter in recovery mode ( vol down + home + power )
On my LG with custom firmware and custom recovery "Fast Reboot" free version only kills running apps....But "Quick Boot" reboots into recovery. It needs root.
So I write this for future help if someone does the same thing.

[Q] Recovery help

Ok, I have tried google and search and can't get any help, I can't access the recovery on a xt926, it is rooted and unlocked on 4.4.2 but I can't get it to load from the PWR/ VOL UP menu immediately after flashing either twrp, or cwm. when I try to use fastboot to flash the recovery I get told that the variable is not supported but then it continues with flashing and says it's complete but obviously doesn't work.
Any ideas?
I have an XT925. I got the latest DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.41. Used that included TWRP 2.7.1.0 specifically for the XT 925.
Make sure you have the most recent drivers for your PC to recognize the XT925.
Boot to fastboot.
Connect the phone and make sure it is recognized.
Flash into the recovery partition the above TWRP.
yes, I also received the 'variable not supported' message. But the flash does confirm completion.
Once the flash is completed, unplug the phone. Then a quick press and release of the power switch to turn off. Once off, use simultaneous power and Volume+- press to get into boot menu. From there, select Recovery option and you should get into TWRP.
This worked for me after I thought I had completely bricked my XT925.
Cheers

Power phone off and press volume up, down, and power buttons simultaneously and hold them until you see white text with boot options. Scroll down to recovery and press vol up. Of thia still doesn't work, then you may be flashing a bad recovery image.
Thanks guys, I already got it fixed, I used flashify and it worked great.

Recovery Flash not working

Hello, I bought a OnePlus one (came with CM11 - 4.4.4) and followed the standard steps to root it
1) unlock bootloader - successful, phone got factory reset, checked the status using fastboot
2) Flash custom recovery (TWRP) using fastboot - always "okay" message
3) The phone DOES NOT boot to recovery after this - it gets stuck at the 1+ logo, or remains stuck for a few seconds and goes to normal reboot. -I've tried using fastboot to reboot phone while holding down volume button
Please help! i've look this problem up and haven't found a solution.
I tried 2.7.0.0, and the latest 2.8.5.1, along with 2.8.6.0, along with trying to use the one plus tool kit. Using the toolkit, even flashing the stock recovery, then booting it didn't work.
after you flash recovery in fastboot, do not issue the fastboot reboot command. you need to manually power off the phone by keeping the power button pressed till it powers off

As the other posted mentioned you have to fastboot flash twrp (2.8.6.0) then power off phone and use volume down + power button combo to get to recovery. Its flashing but if you boot to OS it will be overwritten by CM recovery hence booting directly will alleviate that
Boot into os, enable dev options by tapping the build number a bunch of times in settings-about phone section, go back and go into settings-developer options, make sure "update cyanogen recovery" is unchecked. Flash recovery again, and like people have said, power off the phone and use volume down and power buttons together to boot into recovery.
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried all the above s and none of them have worked
Should I try unlocking the bootloader again?
I recommend going to this guide and following it closely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
As for which version of TWRP to use, I recommend this version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059048

Stuck in Boot Loop After Xposed Install - No recovery mode

I have a rooted and twrp installed samsung s6 from sprint.
I tried to install xposed through twrp and now it boot loops. I guess xposed has a boot loop issue on stock samsung roms.
I can enter download mode but I can't get into recovery because the phone will not power off! If I hold key combinations to power it off it just keeps restarting. Does anyone know a way i can enter recovery mode. I do know i can flash the stock firmware through odin but i dont want to lose all my files. Is there a way to disable xposed through odin/download mode, or through adb if the device is offline?
Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem two weeks ago, but I was able to get into recovery mode. I'd hold Volume Down + Power buttons to restart it, then quickly switch my fingers to Power Up and Home button to enter recovery. Try it that way, it could work.
Also, you should try to install this xposed. I am on a stock ROM as well and this one works for me!

Thanks for your help. I ended up accessing recovery by plugging in a usb and using the keys combo you suggested and am now running the xposed you linked to. Thanks a bunch!

Press volume down while powering on. Does the bootloader appear? If it does, use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFTWRPIMAGE.img
Code:
fastboot boot NAMEOFTWRPIMAGE.img
Backup your data, reboot to bootloader and flash stock ROM before proceeding to flash a custom ROM (or try flashing the custom one directly).

I have a similar issue, as my phone also cannot turn on and I have TWRP recovery.
I had rooted my phone with SuperSU and unlocked the bootloader via motorola's tool. But then due to SafetyNet, apps such as Snapchat wouldn't work (cant log in), and I couldn't download Netflix (totally a huge issue).
So I decided to try switching to Magisk instead, as I heard that uses systemless root that doesnt trip Safety Net. While uninstalling SuperSU (using the built in feature for full removal), I was able to uninstall SuperSU and unroot my phone, but was not able to restore the stock boot image in the process. It was at this point I made a NANdroid backup in case I stuffed anything up.
Because of this, I was unable to flash Magisk via the TWRP recovery, so I downloaded a previous version of the firmware from January to flash back to from here. After flashing this and also wiping the user data, my phone booted up fine and worked, and appeared to be in normal condition.
However, then I elected to download and install the firmware update. This all went well, and was installing, until just at the end of the process, when the phone turned off. It had over 60% battery at the time.
At this point in time I'm still unable to get it to boot up, even into recovery or fastboot mode, so I cant really do anything, or restore my NANdroid backup.
If I plug it into my laptop, and hold the power + volume button down for a period of time, I can hear the USB connected tone (Windows 10), which then switches to a disconnected tone and a "USB device malfunctioned" error message pops up.
I tried leaving it unplugged all of last night just in case it was stuck in a boot loop or something so the screen couldn't display anything, in order to flatten the battery, but obviously I couldn't tell any difference. I'm currently now trying to have it plugged into power for an extended period of time just in case it is actually just flat. The current condition is just a black screen as if there was no power at all, with no lights or anything, regardless of a charger being connected, with the buttons not doing anything (I've attempted holding down the power and volume down buttons together for at least 2 minutes to no effect)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My specs: Moto G Turbo (2015), model XT1557, running Android 6.0.1. Can't remember exactly, but it previously had the latest firmware available before I tried flashing the January firmware.
