Safe Mode is possible in Android (Android 5.x an onward, maybe).
Long click on Power Button.
You'll see power many (Power Off, reboot and probably more options).
Long click on "Power Off" option.
You'll be asked if you would like to reboot to "Safe Mode".
Choose "Ok".
Upon reboot, you'll be in "Safe Mode".
To exit it, just do a normal reboot.
Note: You'll see "Safe mode" in the left lower corner once you're in safe mode.
Thats not what i meant what i asked was if there was like ehh dunno like the f8 options

Just FYI in case anyone wants to know:
For download mode, with the phone turned off, phold the number 1 key on the QWERTY keyboard and the power button simultaneously
For recovery mode, with the phone turned off, hold Volume Down, CAmera, and Power simultaneously.
You navigate with volume UP/DOWN, select with HOME, Menu toggles to "Manual Mode", whatever that it.
Enjoy

What is download mode?
Download mode is the mode you put the phone into to be able to flsh new software to it from a pc. Anyone going to this phone from the Moment will know exactly what it is.
is it a ms-mount?

Mass Storage mount... Basically, does download mode turn it into a mass storage USB device?
Oh I gotcha. No it does not.
had epic 2.1.1 rooted with one-click method from sdx, seemed fine after superuser and busybox install or several hours.
HOWEVER, after installing Lauchad (maybe coincidence), my phone went into a cont. reboot every 30sec about. I managed to uninstall some recent apps with no avail.
I am doing a recovery/wipe-factory now....seems hung at little image of package opening with droid logo....
Should I force power-cycle?
Thanks!
I entered Download Mode and its stocked at Downloading. Do not turn off target. Is this the main screen?
Edit: Yes. Thats the Main Screen.
Hmm.. So we only need someone to create the Update.zip?
Quick question. I entered download mode.. I got the downloading! do not turn off target!!! How do I get out of this screen??

Either use Odin to flash a new rom, or pull your battery out of the phone. As long as it's not mid-flash, you can turn it off without consequence. Obviously if you were flashing a rom, you wouldn't want to be pulling the battery out in the middle of it, of course...
FYI this mode isn't something anyone should need to access regularly. Please see this post for more information on the use of Download mode and how to return your phone to stock.

Update.zip? You mean for Recovery mode? No, that's not necessary for custom roms or anything... You would want to use Clockwork recovery, not the stock recovery, and the .zip can be named anything. Update.zip is generally how the stock recovery flashes an OTA update after it's downloaded. If I recall, it has to pass a checksum before it'd flash - you couldn't just zip some files together and call it "update.zip" and expect it to work. With Clockwork Recovery you would.
Thank you very much... Yeah it was not mid flash, which would be way worse. I am just getting accustomed to all the different menus and various screens. I got into the mode, just to give it a try and was worried about just pulling the battery. Didnt think it would really matter since i wasnt flashing or anything. But figured I would ask first to save some headaches. Trying to read up and learn all I can about this thing. Clockworked and rooted, getting ready for the first rom go!
Hi there...it was mere some hours after i got my new moto g...i installed next launcher and pressed "always" instead of "just once" as i pressed the home button. The phone restarted immidiately and is stuck at logo screen forever. Now i tried flashing stock rom through fast boot method but the process gets stuck at "waiting for device" at the first command. That might be because USB debugging is disabled and i can't enable it as the phone doesn't show up anything. i checked the drivers several times but didn't work out.

If your bootloader is unlocked you could use fastboot to fastboot flash a recovery. Then do a factory reset.

I have access to the phone for now, but I'm worried if it ever dies, I won't be able to boot because the power button is shot.
Is there any way to boot my phone from it being in a completely shut off state? Thanks.

@Niflheimer is wrong. If you want to boot without a power button simply hold down the "volume down" button. and plug your phone into a power source. It will go straight into fastboot mode. You will need android SDK installed on your computer here, then load your nexus 5 into fastboot mode (like mentioned previously) and type "fastboot reboot" you device will power on.
no power button needed
Sorry , I thought he meant without external devices.

Ive tried what was mentionned but no way to select the start option on the menu because there is no power button. Any other way to bypass this without the actual power button?

you don't need the power button, just boot into fastboot as said above and, if you got fastboot working on your pc, send "fastboot reboot" and it will boot into the system
Greetings of the day,
Hello everyone, I'm having a oneplus one 64GB phone that is not getting start, everytime i connect it with the charger it goes into a bootloop. Yes the phone was rooted and I was using a custom ROM with the default kernel. The issue started when I tried to reset the phone to battery settings. I think I somehow messed the kernel and now it is stuck in bootloop. The problem is that I can't connect it to my computer or put it in debug mode as it just restarts again. Any idea how to actually boot it so I can install the kernel and ROM again?

No, My phone is not getting on but whenever i am connecting it with my charger the phones goes in the Bootloop, and when i am connecting it to My PC while pressing Volume Up + Power Button Pc shows that the Unrecognized devices has been connected.
And i think phone is Hard Bricked. I have tried ADB software and one plus 1 drivers manually but it didn't worked too. I have tried minimal ADB too but it also didn't work.
Kindly let me know about it.

Volume UP + Power should boot in fastboot mode. Volume Down + Power should boot into recovery. First, try to boot recovery.

I have tried both, but nothing happens with it, Volume UP + Power shows the unrecognizable device is connected and Volume Down + Power does nothing it continues with bootloop .
Have you got Developer Options enabled?
Goto About Phone & Tap Build Number until Developer Options is activated. Goto Developer Options> Advanced Restart & enable the switch.
Press power button->Restart->Recovery.
It will now boot into Recovery.
Also have you tried keeping hold of power button whilst it bootloops. Keep holding the power button until it powers off. Then press Volume Down & Power Button to power back up (you might see a slight flicker onscreen that means it should go into Recovery mode). Keep hold of these buttons until you gain Access to Recovery Mode.
This will allow you to Recover or flash a different ROM.
If you're having issues connecting to a computer (Windows) try downloading Windows Media Center for your version of Windows. This will install media drivers to recognize your phone.. If all went well you will get the pop up with A0001 (Codename of OnePlus One). From there you should be able to enter fastboot mode through ADB.
If this doesn't help you, I'm sure that someone else will untangle the puzzle to get your device in good working order buddy. Good Luck.

Hello,
How to boot Mi 10 Ultra on safemode please ?
thanks for help
What do you mean by safe mode? Fastboot is pwr + vol down and recovery is pwr + vol up. Is this what you are looking for?

i wanted safe mode where all apps and modules dont load on start.

Safe Mode (This is not the "Recovery mode" or the "Fastboot mode" )
In case your phone shows a lot of errors and you cant handle them because there are a lot of pop up windows or you want to deinstall something from magisk as example ... try the "safe mode" only some important standard apps will be loaded:
Power off your Android device and then power it on. You can also use the Reboot or Restart option.
You will see the Powered by Android logo and MI logo on the boot screen, If they disappear and the Screen ist black, press and hold the Volume Down key down so long till system ist loaded
The System will load and you will see a watermark... Safe mode
Deinstall the app with the error / analyze the root cause of the issue and so on ...
Reboot the phone to get off the "safe mode"
Perhaps after loading you have to disable AirPlane Mode
Well I thought it wasn't working but on a second try, it did. Pressing vol down while the Mi is on screen does work, see screenshots. It does only load system apps but when you leave by rebooting, you do have to stop airplane mode and it also defaulted my home screens to system apps only and I had to restore from my mi back up.
Interesting mode, worth remembering but I have never had the need for it but thanks for the info. BTW, I'm using EU A11 weekly.

The need is when u install several module or patches and then stuck at boot loop. You can safe mode then delete last installed module
