Root How To Forceboot TWRP

[arkansawdave74]

Just wanted to post this so I could easily link someone to instructions in case of a bootloop.

If your partitions are normal (not switched), you hold down power and volume up. After about 8 seconds, it will vibrate once (keep holding) and then again about 4 seconds later. After the second vibration, you let go as soon as the red LED turns off.

If your partitions are switched, you just hold power for about 8 seconds until it vibrates, and let go.

One thing. If you force boot twrp by holding power and volume up at the same time, the phone will reboot again if you hold for too long and if you don't hold for long enough it will just boot into android. The easier way is to hold power until the phone vibrates then let go and hold volume up until you see the twrp splash screen. Or you can press both the power and volume up buttons and just let go of the power button as soon as you feel the phone vibrate and keep holding the volume up button. Either way it does the same thing

I think the red LED turning off is a nice indicator of when to release, myself.
