Use Safe Mode

Deactivate One-Handed Operation

Use ReiBoot for Android

• This is a more advanced method that involves using a third-party tool.
  • Download and install ReiBoot for Android on your computer.
  • Connect your phone to the computer and use ReiBoot to enter recovery mode or repair the Android system1.

Factory Reset (Last Resort)
