Here, tell the OnePlus 7 or OnePlus 7 Pro to restart and then immediately press and hold both of the volume buttons. You can test this by bringing up the Power Menu while you are in Android. However, we are only pressing the Power button to turn the phone back on. The tutorial above may make it seem as if we need to be holding down all three buttons for this to happen. Other Methods of Booting the OnePlus 7 into Bootloader ModeĪndroid recognizes this and that is why we are taken to Fastboot Mode (also known as Bootloader Mode) instead of Recovery Mode. This time around, we are holding the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons (instead of just Volume Down). As you saw yesterday, when we hold down the Volume Down button while booting we are taken into Recovery Mode.

I mean, Android is always looking out for those button presses but things are different when the smartphone is booting up. What is technically going on here is that Android is ‘listening’ for buttons that are held down during the boot cycle. Many of Android’s smartphones are built this way but some OEMs (including Samsung) like to mix things up. We are essentially doing the same thing today except this time we’re holding down three buttons during the boot cycle.
So, if you followed along in yesterday’s tutorial then this one will feel very familiar.

Let me show you how to boot the smartphone into and out of this special boot mode. Similar to Recovery Mode, knowing how to boot the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro into Fastboot Mode can save your device. However, I just want to point out that all but the most casual user should know how to boot into Fastboot Mode. I will be going over the various things we can do in Fastboot Mode in future tutorials. You could even accidentally boot into Fastboot Mode without knowing and I’ll be showing you how to get out of it. Fastboot Mode is much different in that we mainly use it for enthusiast type of things (including unlocking the bootloader). It’s important to know how to do this in case you are unable to boot into Android (so you can do a factory reset). Yesterday I showed you how to boot the OnePlus 7 into Recovery Mode. So today I will be showing you how to boot the OnePlus 7 and the OnePlus 7 Pro both into and out of Fastboot Mode. We do things such as unlock the bootloader and flash images via what is also known as Bootloader Mode. Android has a number of special boot modes and Fastboot Mode is a popular one.
