Good day all.
As title states the leaf is in boot loop after deleting a system app. I was rooted via Magisk patching of the boot.img from decrypted 3.2 update file.
Was able to enter fastboot via CLI and all was great till i removed one to many system applications.

Now I am in perpetual boot loop.

SO my question for those that are in the know is
How the heck one enters fastboot mode or recovery while the device is in continuous boot loop?

I do have the case with page buttons and i have tried a ton of combinations
I've seen a violet led light up
I've seen a pale blue LED lite up
and I am fairly certain the device shuts down after 10 seconds of long press.
Im at a lose for ideas, I am certian itll be a simple combo of steps. Ive dug around this great resource of a site but as yet nothing clear on the actual steps needed for entering recover or fastboot.
Any assistance would be much apreciated.
