[Q] Surefire download mode, is it safe?

[Rexdango]

I've tried all the variants of battery pulling and button comboing, but the most surefire way that has worked first time every time for me is pulling the battery, holding down volume + and -, plugging in USB, and inserting battery.

Now is it safe??

The only difference I se between what you're doing and what is typically reccommended is you are inserting the battery last instead of the usb cable.

The normal method is with battery in and power off to hold both volume buttons and insert the usb cable. I really don't see that its really that different and the only thing I would say could be unsafe is if you were to insert the battery incorrectly considering you're trying to hold buttons and whatnot while inserting it you could potentially bend one of the contacts. Other than that I would say do what works for you.
