SafeMode - Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers

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?

no but thanks for reply
i wanted safe mode where all apps and modules dont load on start.

Never seen that mode in any of my Xiaomi or Huawei phones. I would like to know though if it's possible.

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

Unusual bootloop - can't access recovery OR fastboot but loops on "optimzing apps"

Unusual bootloop - can't access recovery OR fastboot but loops on "optimzing apps"
I had my US version OpO 64GB working with CM12 for quite a while, rooted and bootloader unlocked with TWRP (possibly 2.8.6) installed, then some months ago I tried upgrading to CM12.1 through CM updater. This failed miserably - The phone started bootlooping on "Optimizing apps n of N" - as soon as it finished optimizing apps, the phone would reboot and start optimizing again. Booting to safe-mode (Power + VolUpDown) also fails in the same way (though optimizing fewer apps).
I tried rebooting to recovery mode holding Power + VolDown but it just gives a quick buzz (vibration motor) at the "1+" screen and reboots. The same thing happens when I try to boot to fastboot mode with Power + VolUp. So I'm completely stuck. All the guides show being able to boot either to fastboot or recovery (soft-brick) or else the screen being completely black/unresponsive (hard-brick). My phone is neither of these!
I got frustrated enough that I've let it sit on the shelf for the past 6 months, but now I'd like to fix this. All help appreciated.

Did you try clearing the cache and doing a factory reset ?

That's impossible for me to do since I can't get to launcher or recovery.
No acess to recovery?? Then better take it to service center... Atleast can u boot to fastboot mode or adb accesible then use oneplus one toolkits
---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
Install oneplus tool kit, while optimising apps it gets dectected by pc, just make it reboot mode & do reset.... Dnt worry this can be fixed, if all these seems messy then take it to service center

while things are loading, have u tried to hold vol up + power for 10 seconds or until the screen turns off and then hold vol down + power button until the oneplus logo?

Yes, just tried it. Same thing as described in my original post. When I hold power+volup the screen goes blank. I switch to power+voldown until the 1+ logo. At that point:
1. If I continue to hold the power+voldown key through the 1+ logo, the screen goes blank briefly, the phone vibrates once and reboots. If I continue to hold the power+voldown key, the vibrate&reboot cycle continues indefinitely
2. If I let go of either the power button, the voldown button, or both at or before the 1+ logo, the phone boots normally and goes to "Android is starting... Optimizing app n of 119). When the optimization finishes, the phone instantly reboots.
It's like the phone recovery is gone or inaccessible. Could this have to do with the phone tampering setting? As I said, I had this phone rooted and bootloader unlocked, working fine with CM12 for some time before trying an in-place upgrade to 12.1. That's when things went south.

Can't enter download mode S10e please help

I have searched and looked for alternatives on how to maybe enter download mode but have not found any solution. I have tried phone off then vol. down + bixby then plug in usb, also pow button + bixby + vol. down then plug usb but every time I do this all I get is a circle with a lightning logo with battery percentage. I also went into recovery mode and tried rebooting into bootloader however that just ends up rebooting back to the recovery menu. Please help. Thank you.
anyone with any tip on what might help or be the issue? I have an exynos version.

Hi, try to reboot into bootloader using ADB.
First off thank you for the response.
I tried that as well however maybe I did it wrong. Is it? adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot download
It's so strange you know cause I've tried so many different ways and I thought that rebooting to bootloader from recovery menu would definitely work however all it does is reboot back to my home screen.
Power off phone and just hold down pwr+vol up+ Bigsby for like 8ish seconds and it should boot to download.
Also adb/fastboot is a second route, read through this the below link. Make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed and adb/fastboot properly installed and prerequisites. https://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-via-fastboot-android/
Or try to boot in safe mode
Hold power button when phone is on, then long press power off, and then select safe mode. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-223011/

well apparently I can't boot into safe mode either, while screen on I long pressed power button then long pressed power of for more then 10 secs but that doesn't do anything
crazy thing is I'm able to boot into recovery with no problem but that's about it. also adb does recognize my device as I can see the characters after inputting "adb devices"

Bootloop, Mi logo doesnt even show up

I've tried to install new system in my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 MTK.
From the system that I downloaded (I downloaded the correct version) I picked in TWRP to install from boot.img.
Unfortunately the system didnt boot but I could still enter recovery or fastboot.
Then I chose preloader.img and clicked reboot because I thought that at the worst case I'd jsut enter fastboot and fix it.
After this the screen doesnt lit up at all.
The only response is the vibration.
It keeps rebooting over and over again.
Is there any way to save it?
It seems to stop bootlooping when I hold all the buttons at once for a while but when I hold the power button the bootloop starts again.
Re-flash Stock ROM
Is it possible in my situation when I can't access recovery and fastboot?
Can you please tell how can I do that?
Have you tried: With phone off, hold volume up, and insert usb cable. This should turn the phone on and go into download mode or something like that.

I believe its called the fastboot mode and as I said I unfortunately can't go there :/
Yes, we are talking about Mi logo stuck problem during boot. ... OR mobile goes in bootloop where every time shows Mi logo on the screen and shut House Cleaning Services Dubai
While installing your stock rom for your mediatek phone using sp flash tool just click the format all + downlaod option. This may blank out your imei and personal phone specific info
guys plz, you're talking like if I had any access to my phone.
I think I wrote it quite clearly that the only response that I get are vibrations and I dont see Mi logo. It's on for like a split second. Can't go to fastboot or recovery.
I talked about it with a guy on discord and it's loading preloader before boot that should go first so it can't be helped without valid tools. Makes sense to me, already bought a new phone.

Question Need help unbricking: Stop bootloop/boot to fastboot from a bootloop?

Soooo, flashed boot, forgot to flash vbmeta b4 rebooting. Rebooted, got device is stuck on a bootloop.
Now fixes to stop the bootloop require going into fastboot mode, but how can I stop the loop, and start the fastboot mode?
Thanks in advance!
Somewhat fixed, gonna leave here how for the future. When stuck on a bootloop, from the moment the OnePlus/Android logos appear on screen, press "Volume Up" and "Power Buttons".
IMPORTANT: when the screen turns off, release the keys, or the phone will reboot and not break the loop.
So now., can turn off the phone. Have been trying to get to Recovery mode with no success.
Have tried starting the turned off phone by pressing:
Power + Volume Up -> powers on or off the phone
Power + Volume Down -> nothing
Power + Volume Down + Volume Up -> nothing
So now, just need a way into recovery/fastboot. I must be doing something wrong, maybe pressing the buttons for too long or smth like that. Has anyone unbricked an phone like this before?
Also, something wierd is happening, the phone auto boots when I connect it through USB.

if you're on android 12 theres no way you can recover from it without going to the Service center. if you're on android 11 volume down + power should go into bootloop.
the main problem in Android 12 is that fastboot is broken. and it will boot into fastboot for a milisecond or two then reboot out of it

Question Phone bootloop at recovery mode.

Hi. After installing ROM from TWRP and restart, i got this as a bootloop. The problem is, it cannot boot into recovery despite the recovery word at the bottom left. So it looped on this page over and over. I tried all the known buttons and i cannot find anything similiar to my problem elsewhere. Anyone can help?

A bit more information , like phone model , how and which version you flashed.
otherwise pull battery (or wait to drain) charge and reboot back to download mode and reflash recovery.
this time making sure you do it right.
atleast ths is my procedure on samsung phones

Hi. Phone model Realme C2. TWRP flashing Realme UI. I think i made the mistake of formatting first or something before installing the ROM. I did took off the battery cable. Just that when the phone is powered on thru the cable, it also powered into the pic shown, which is a bootloop but can't boot into recovery. I believe this is an extremely rare situation. I'd be happy if it can boot into adb, then i can at least install back the original phone ROM.
Sometimes i managed to press and hold (vold down power) at the right time. on samsung phones
(right after it screen goes black i think) to get in to download mode during some bootloops.
But i am unfamiliar with fastboot mode i think your phone uses.
Try holding the physical buttons needed for you phones downloadmode/fastbootmode
while it is off and then plug the cable in ? just a guess though.

Hi. Nope. It will still boot into the screen on the pic, and it will loop over and over again. I took off the battery cable but when i plug the USB cable, it will also reboot into the pic with bootloop.
I felt that this is a very rare case of the phone screwing up. My initial intention was to install a light rom so i can use the extra space (even after root, App2SD doesnt work). Sigh.
if you remove the cable and let it drain , when it is off and you hold correct buttons for download/fastboot mode
and then plug the cable in it goes it to recovery mode ?
and keep trying press and hold different time in the loop , around the point of black screen/reboot point,
just before/at/and after.

Sorry, nope. It will boot into the Realme Logo and the recovery mode word on bottom left as shown in the pic. And then bootloop into the same thing again. It cannot enter recovery mode. I tried every combination of buttons with the battery attached and without. I believe the recovery section is erased, or it might be in another part of the memory but inaccessible.

are you sure you are trying button combinations for download/fastboot mode (not recovery).
we know recovery is fubared. so is system most probably.
you need to get in to download/fastboot to reflash recovery or stock firmware .
(hold buttons till you see download/fastboot , not just push and let go)
try correct button combination at all the different times in the loop.
and i had a siimmular problem once with a phone turning itself on and looping,
(turned out to be a glitchy power button , try fiddling with that , excersize it to get to unbind if it is)

Yes sir, i did. Tried all button combination at different times. The only thing that worked is the on/off button. When it is on, i press and hold a long time, and let go when the screen is off to turn off. And to turn it on, i press and hold a long time until the screen is on to turn on.
As noted, i might have screw up the installing 3rd party ROM process. I screwed up many times earlier, but i managed to reinstall back the original ROM because it was in adb. And now it isn't. Phones in my country aren't cheap, so if possible, i'd like to save this phone. My initial purpose to install a 3rd part ROM is to make use of the extra internal memory space (i rooted initially but i wasn't able to use App2SD).
so when you hold the power button and it turns off. then you need to use the
combination of buttons for fast boot to turn it on , not just power button .
make sure you have the correct buttons , double , tripple check with the correct buttons
and when to let them go.
