How do I enter safe mode on my Honor 8?

Here’s how to boot your Honor 8 into safe mode:

1. Start by shutting down your phone.
2. Turn it back on.
3. When you see the blue screen animation, press and hold the Volume down button until you get to the lock screen.
4. The Safe mode label in the lower left corner of the screen shows that your phone is now in safe mode.
5. Simply restart your phone to exit the safe mode.

So sorry if your can’t boot your Honor 8 into safe mode with the above steps or the above steps weren’t written clearly.

Anyway, I’ve uploaded a video which I’ve done quite a while ago (while my Honor 8 was still running EMUI 4.1). The steps still work if you’ve updated your phone to EMUI 5 (Tested it myself).

I hope that helps.

Nameless. Just because you cant do it doesnt mean that its bullshit. But good job being so mature about it. I laughed out loud at that reply.
And the volume down works just fine. Just gotta do it right. Might even have to try it twice. Haha
