How to Boot the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, 8T, & 8 Pro to Recovery Mode?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Recovery Mode is easy to boot into and get out of as long as you know the buttons to press so let me show you how to access this special boot mode.

~~~~~

Xiaomi has included a few of Android's special boot modes and Recovery Mode is currently available. It's fairly hidden though and the most common way of accessing it is via a button combination.

The name makes it sounds like you're going to be able to perform some type of data restore from here, but sadly that isn't the case. It is for recovering some bits of data, but this is solely used for recovering the Android OS itself (and not your personal data).

This video walks you through how to boot the entire Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 series of smartphones into Download Mode. This includes the base Xiaomi Redmi Note 8, the Note 8T, and the Redmi Note 8 Pro.

You'll want to start out by turning off the smartphone. If you're able to boot into Android then I recommend just using the Power Menu to power the device off like normal. However, if you're currently in a bootloop then you may need to watch the phone and time the button combination right when you see it rebooting.

With the phone turned off, go ahead and press the button combination as demonstrated in the video. You'll need to continue holding these two buttons down even after you see the first "Redmi" boot logo screen.

Shortly after that, you should be booted into the Redmi Note 8 Recovery Mode where you'll have access to a few features Xiaomi has provided to you.

If you're curious as to how you can leave Recovery Mode then I've got you covered as well. There are two ways we can go about it. The first is the recommended method which has you using the hardware buttons to select the "Reboot to System" option as shown in the video.

But. . .you can also press and hold the Power button for 7-10 seconds to force the phone to reboot on its own. This little trick will actually work to force the Redmi Note 8 Pro and its variants to reboot no matter what it's doing (whether you're booted into Android or not).

Hello!
If this method doesn't work try this:-

First- Click the reboot system and then immediately long press the vol up + vol down + power button at the same time.

Second- Keep pressing it for 15 seconds, although it needed many attempts and till then the mobile will restart on its own + without wiping/erasing you data.

Third & Final

-Quickly backup all your datas once your phone has restarted. This is optional but i highly recommend it, so that you will not worry again if it happend again.

I hope i helped you!

I was also facing the same problem...my phone got stuck in recovery mode and was not rebooting and showing the same screen every time...
STEPS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
1)select the reboot option from the main menu.
2)select reboot to system by pressing power button..
3)when the screen turns black then hold the volume up and volume down and power button ...all three at the same time for 1 min...
4)then you will step into the fastboot mode...
5) then exit fastboot mode by pressing the power button (15-20 times) until the MIUI screen shows up
AND THEN THE PHONE WILL REBOOT TO ANDROID...
It will definitely work

Reboot your mobile while charging. Works perfectly. Got this solution from one of the comments here. Hands down the best solution. You don't need to wipe your data.

Hi, I had a question. My phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 just like you. Whenever I'd previously reboot my phone, I'd first get the Xiaomi black page, then Redmi note 8 black page. While trying to get into safe mode (still haven't figured out how to do that) I accidentally did power button and volume up at start up. Now whenever I start up my phone I get the Xiaomi black page, then the MiUi logo black page, and then I get into the phone. What does the addition of the MiUi logo page mean? Where did my Redmi Note 8 page go? Please help me, thanks in advance :)
