The keypress sequence needed to access stock recovery on Lollipop 5.0 Moto G and Moto X has now changed
Old method (not working on 5.0): Hold down VOL+ and VOL- for two secs and tap power
New method (working for 5.0): Hold down power for 2 secs and tap VOL+

Hi everyone. I have problem bc I can't enter stock recovery. I was able to enter when I was at nougat but now on Oreo I am not able. When I am in fastboot I press and hold power button then I quickly press and release volume up and nothing happens. Any ideas?
So I just rooted and got everything to work just fine (.33). Thought i'd smash in Viper4Android aswell.
The phone is now stuck on the logo with the red and two white dots.
I can get it to reboot with Vol+ and power, but the power-button does not let me go into recovery mode at all. It's like its disconnected.
Is there anything you can do to get into recovery/fastboot from here?
Also tried every single vol+powercombination with 0 results..
Thanks in advance.
What viper4android version did you install? And what Android version are you on?
If using Magisk 21> you should be able to hold down power button to boot into safe mode.
Hold power button and volume down and up at the same time, this should boot you into bootloader.
If you're on Android 10:
Boot into TWRP and remove module folder from data/adb/modules
Android 11 (or 10)
[Recovery][Stock OOS]Oxygen OS Stock recovery with ADB enabled
While waiting for a working TWRP for all those needful of the possibility to access their file system from recovery, e.g. for removing an offensive magisk extension preventing boot I repackaged the Stock OOS recovery but with ADB enabled...

Thanks for the reply.
I seem to have solved it (for now..).
I could not get any key to answer to my commands when i rebooted the phone (hence why i couldnt get into recovery etc.), it only went back to the loop after displaying the usual message about the bootloader being unlocked.
Holding down both volume-buttons and using the msm-tool i managed to get it back to OEM (with everything locked. Again. Lmao) so now i just gotta watch out when I install Viper again (if i do..).
Running Oxygen 11.0.3.3.IN11BA with the latest Magisk (I just patched it today)
Edit: I just used the Viper4Android that i found inside Magisk if that makes any sense.
I'll try your links and see if i have to re-flash again..
Cheers
I am trying to downgrade from the official LineageOS 18.1 to 17.1. I successfully sideloaded the install package, but after I tapped "Reboot system now", the tablet booted into the "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." screen and is stuck. I cannot access the device through adb or fastboot, pressing the power key to continue does nothing, holding Power + Volume Down to force shut down causes the device to reboot into the same screen, and Volume Up + Volume Down + attaching power cable to enter download mode does nothing. Any advice would be appreciated!

You can't downgrade without a wipe, also in case you already installed OneUI 3 firmware you can't use 17.1 anymore.
For getting to download mode:
Connect the tablet to a PC, force reboot it by pressing Volume Down and Power for approximately 7 seconds, when the screen goes black immediately switch to holding Volume Down and Volume Up.
Thanks for your response - I see that that was a mistake.
I've made it into download mode and can flash the LineageOS recovery, but I'm unable to boot into recovery after that to sideload LineageOS with adb (I can't power off, and Power + Volume Up does nothing). Any suggestions?

If you are on OneUI 3 firmware your device needs to be connected to a PC in order to boot recovery via key combination (it will just try booting system otherwise)

I've tried that a few times and it seems to try to boot to system regardless of whether it's connected to a PC or not -- it just gets stuck at "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." yada yada.

Which firmware are you on?
Which version of the recovery did you try to flash? 17.1 recovery won't work on oneui 3 firmware.

I believe I am using OneUI 3 (though, admittedly, I don't know how to check for sure - I'm new to all this).
I tried to flash LineageOS 17.1 nightly from 2021-03-3. Is it possible to install firmware which will allow me to use 17.1 or do I require 18.1?

OneUI 3 is samsung's Android 11 stock ROM so if you had Android 11 before installing lineage you're on Android 11/OneUI 3 firmware
For 17.1 you'd need to install e.g P610XXU2BTK2 (that was the last OneUI 2 / Android 10 stock ROM for the Wifi Model)
May I ask why you don't want to install 18.1 actually?
Edit: In case you need the firmware I mentioned above, I uploaded it here
I am trying to install LineageOS on gta4xlwifi (galaxy tab s6 LITE 2020 wifi). I successfully installed the rocovery using heimdall but after I tapped "Reboot system now", the tablet booted into the "This tablet's bootloader is unlocked..." screen and is stuck. I cannot access the recovery mode to install the ROM, pressing the power key to continue does nothing, holding Power + Volume Down to force shut down causes the device to reboot into the same screen. I can only access to download mode by holding Volume up + Volume down. Here the guide i followed: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gta4xlwifi/install
Hope you can help me!
