Have you ever turned on your phone only to see it stuck in Fastboot Mode? Don’t panic! This might look technical, but getting out of it is usually pretty simple.
Let’s go step by step and fix it.
What is Fastboot Mode?
Fastboot Mode is a special mode on Android devices. It helps developers install updates, unlock the bootloader, or flash files. But if you enter it by accident, you might not know how to leave!
How to Exit Fastboot Mode
Try these simple solutions to get back to normal.
Method 1: Use Button Combination
Many phones allow you to exit Fastboot Mode by pressing the right buttons. Here’s what to do:
- Hold the Power button for 10–15 seconds.
- If that doesn’t work, try holding Power + Volume Down together.
- Your phone should restart. If not, move to the next method.
Method 2: Use Fastboot Commands
If the first method doesn’t work, you can use a computer to send a command.
- Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your computer.
- Connect your phone with a USB cable.
- Open a command prompt and type:
fastboot reboot
Press Enter. Your phone should restart normally.
Method 3: Remove the Battery (If Possible)
If your phone has a removable battery:
- Take out the battery.
- Wait for 30 seconds.
- Put the battery back in and power on your phone.
Simple, right?
Method 4: Let the Battery Drain
If nothing works, just leave your phone on. Wait for the battery to die completely. Once it shuts off, plug it in and turn it back on.
Method 5: Use Recovery Mode
Another way to escape Fastboot Mode is through Recovery Mode:
- Hold Power and Volume Up to enter Recovery Mode.
- Use the Volume buttons to navigate.
- Select Reboot System Now using the Power button.
Your phone should restart normally!
