Could Safe mode be of any help in finding the recovery partition?
It can be entered by pressing the power button and then holding the vol- button until the tablet is completely booted. The "Safe mode" indicator will be in the bottom left corner.
Now that we have this thing rooted, I wasn't sure if this could help in the next step of unlocking the bootloader.

I can't post this in the development forum, so I am posting it here.

Now my phone is in a restart loop. It will load the red Motorola logo, then the green Motorola label, gets into the "setup your phone" screens, then it waits approximately 60 seconds and restarts. I can't make it stop and I can't figure out how to access the CWM recovery from the powerbutton + volume button combinations to try and reflash.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Make sure you're plugged in to use CWM
If you cant get into it, you should be able to get into RSD mode and flash a fresh 1.83 sbf
or get into standard recovery and wipe data/factory rest
Thanks for your input - it did help!
For anyone else that finds this thread, here is what I did to fix my phone (more or less):
Removed battery
Put battery back in
Held "volume down" button until "fast boot" appeared on the screen
scrolled (via volume down - NOT volume up) to "Android Recovery"
Pressed the Volume Up Button to "click" it
Waited for it to load and touched the bottom right hand corner of the screen (hidden button that toggles showing/hiding all of the menus)
Used that to clear cache and userdata
Restarted
Phone worked!
I couldn't get RSD mode to work, though, but this method did work.
My friend thought that to change from android to webos he had to press the power button and volume up to enter moboot, but he enter to the bootloader mode (big usb connection icon). I tried to power it off and combine power button and volume to see if I can get out of this and nothing. The only solution is to wait for the charge to deplete?
EDIT: It turned off by it self this thread can be close.
just so you know for the future, holding the power button along with the center button for a few seconds does a soft reset even while stuck in recovery or while booted in webos.
(sorry about my chinglish )
So here's how:I locked my nexus10 and forgot the password, and I do not see the "Forgotten" button on the screen and also I didn't turn USB debugging mode on, so is there any possibility I can save my data instead of cleaning them up? Thank you (btw, I deleted the original recover files(because I once booted Ubuntu Touch on it) how can I reset it anyway?) Tanks a lot
Don't think there's a way..
And you should be glad because if it was possible anyone could break into your device.
P.S.
chinglish - like!

yeah........I see, so how can I clean everything, the recovery is dead and I didn't turn the debugging mode on
Right from Google:
1.If your tablet is on, power it off.
2.Press and hold Power, Volume Up, and Volume Down at the same time for several seconds. You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
3.Press Volume Down twice, until you see the option Recovery mode.
4.Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You should see an image of an Android with a red exclamation point.
5.While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
6.Use the Volume keys to scroll to Wipe data/factory reset and press Power to select it.
7.Scroll down to Yes - erase all user data and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

Fastboot
You can use Fastboot without USB Debugging enabled.
"To use fastboot, power off, then hold down the power button and both volume buttons. That will take you to the bootloader screen where you, or the toolkit, can do fastboot commands."
I've attached a CWM Recovery image for your device.
Place it somewhere on your computer and open the Terminal application on your computer. Run the following command:
fastboot flash recovery <image location>
Then you can backup /data using advanced backup, perform a factory reset, CREATE A FULL BACKUP, then restore /data using advanced restore.
My Verizon GS4 won't boot up unless I hold the VOL- and Home button. This wouldn't be a problem if I could boot into Download mode, however I cant. VOL+ Key doesn't work because I dropped my phone, and it says in small blue letter in top left corner of the screen "Recovery Booting" when I don't hold the VOL- and Home button when booting. Please help I cant root or install custom recovery or rom!! I need to downgrade my current firmware but can't do that without download mode. Thanks for the support!

if you can boot into the rom then you need to setup adb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
once you have adb configureded and have a shell running type "su" then "reboot download" into the shell
if you don't already have root you are pretty much screwed until you get the button repaired
I know how to get to safe mode when booted in android, but what button combos do it from an off state?
I've tried holding power down until I see the boot logo then waiting 3 seconds, then holding down the volume down key. This just puts me in fastboot menu

moto g power - Power Up in Safe Mode | Verizon
Here's how to boot your moto g power into Safe Mode to help determine if an app is causing it to freeze, reset or run slowly.

That doesn't seem to work on the 2021 model, although it would be quite convenient if it did.
Really I was dealing with a magisk bootloop. So here are the steps I did in order get into safe mode while retaining magisk root to remove modules.
I couldn't find a way to enter safe boot with the physical buttons. What worked for me is flashing the stock boot.img entering the os, long holding the onscreen "Power Off" button until prompted to boot into safe mode (this queues safe mode for next boot).
It's important to enter fastboot (hold volume and power down while the restart for safe boot is occurring) before entering safe boot mode to reflash magisk's patched boot.img. Then finally reboot into android's safe mode. In safe mode you can finally issue:
Code:
adb shell magisk --remove-modules
