I need help getting the wife's phone out of safe mode. I rooted the phone and its on a stock rooted 2.2.1 rom and if you do a restart it loads the the boot loader screen and I can pick recovery and then restart but it still boots in to safe mode says it in the bottom left corner. She has apps and stuff on there so trying to get everything back but not really sure how to get this fixed. Also have pulled the battery out and still no luck going to safe mode. I guess if I can't get it fixed can I install a factory stock rom back on it to fix this? I know if I do she will lose everything. Just need the best option to get this fixed.
Thanks
"Safe mode"???? I've never heard of that.
Yeah it the bottom left corner of the phone it says safe mode it says it down near the home icon and over top off the circle with the up arrow. It looks like it may only load mainly core apps and some others but not all kind of like a windows pc in safe mode. And like I said I've pulled the battery out and rebooted and still says it and also from the boot loader screen picked recovery and then restart and once booted it still says it in the bottom left corner.
I gotta ask... Are you sure this is an Inspire?
Yes this is a inspire. I'm at work and once I get home I will use my inspire and take a pic of the screen with it saying it and upload it here. Mine I just got and haven't rooted it yet still a little unsure on the new way so you may see some questions from me on it a little later.
I have seen people stuck in safe mode . The guy was stuck in hboot and would not boot up. somehow he managed to boot it up but he said it was in safe mode. he was going to flash the gingerbread ruu, but havent gotten an update.
you posted in the thread gene it was titled bricked.
as to the question isse here. you might have to flash a new rom, though not ideal. But google does a good job of backing up apps/settings
I'll be damned:
http://www.technipages.com/htc-hero-start-in-safe-mode.html
This seems more applicable to the Inspire:
http://www.myvusers.com/forums/htc-thunderbolt/7426-safe-mode-htc-thunderbolt-adr6400.html
I'll try and see if one of these works. I think I read some where about the hero and tried it but may not have. So will give it a shot.
Thanks

Apparently the hero has a "hard" menu key. The Inspire does not so you have to ue a different "hard" key. I tried it and the thunderbolt method works for the Inspire (using VOL "hard" key).
It was mentioned over on #liberatedAria that you may have a stuck VOL-UP key so it goes into safe mode every time you boot.
Ok thanks Gene I'll try it for the thunderbolt method. Like you said the key maybe stuck. So when you powered back on you held power and vol up key and it turned safe mode off for you then? Just checking cause not sure if vol down does any thing or you always use the up vol.

No, I just rebooted. That's why we thought the key might be stuck.
yeah I think it is the vol key stuck as soon as you try to turn phone on it just goes to hboot screen. Sense I do believe the volume key is stuck does anyone know how hard it would be to fix this problem? I'm sure I can order a new volume button on ebay but not sure that will fix the problem. I need to get it fixed so I can get it back to factory rom so I then can take it back to AT&T cause I do have insurance on the phone but don't believe they will take it back cause of it loading to the hboot screen menu.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do to get this fixed? And would it be possible to use the stock rom or stock exe file to put it back to stock form to take it back to AT&T to get it repaired or can I repair this problem myself by ordering a new volume key off ebay.
You should try gene pooles s-on tool in the Dev section. Since you have insurance I would just have it replaced
Hey guys,
I wondering if anyone could help me out?
My problem is that my phone isn't allowing me to start into Recovery mode. I take out the battery and re-insert it, then hold the Volume down + Power button, but it just normally boots the phone. What's frustrating me is that the first couple times I attempted it, it worked, and now all of a sudden it doesn't. I've had other Android phones, and I've never had a problem like this. So, any help would be grealy appreciated. Thanks!
Can you get in recovery from ROM manager?

I dont know if the same thing that happened to you, but but I was having the same issue. I'm used to my G1 just barely holding down home and power, with the Sensation I had to hold down vol and power for like 15 secs.

Go into Settings -> Power and disable the Fastboot option. That is what is preventing you from booting into Recovery. You also will want to enable ADB Debugging under Settings -> Applications -> Development
You could also try the other way by going into the bootloader then into the recovery.
Whilst the phone is on, reboot the phone. Once the screen turns off, hold the volume down button for a while until the bootloader screen pops up. Select the option to load recovery. I've been doing it this way.
Now that I think about it, maybe there's a way to skip straight to recovery instead of bootloader =\
It worked! Thank you guys for your help!
Damn, I used to know all this stuff, too. I didn't think it's been that long since I've tried to mess with any Android device. Errr
But anyways, thanks, again!

Hey, first time posting anything here. i have an HTC Inspire 4g and i rooted it and installed the RCmix3d Bliss sense 3.5 ROM. Everything worked perfect until this morning i woke up to a black screen. everything was fine but, the screen wouldnt turn on except the lights on the touch buttons. I took out the battery and restarted but nothing, eventually it showed (Once) and i thought everything was fine but when i put it to sleep and the screen wouldnt turn on anymore.. i came home and did something(i think) very stupid and tried to attempt to re-root it and now the lights on the touch buttons dont light up. i can tell its on because i have 2 text messages and the notification light keeps blinking. I also tried holding the volume buttons and power, it vibrates and the notification lights turns green and just stays that way.
Please if someone can help i would really appreciate it. I love this phone and its not going to be easy to replace...
Thanks,
AMiiGOE
P.S I read that leaving it without the battery for 12hours will fix it, and im doing that now.
I would boot to recovery and perform a wipe then reinstall the rom.
If you deleted the files, you can mount the sd within recovery to get the files back on the sd card

Np..
1. Turn phone completely off
2. Press and hold volume down and power for a few seconds. You should see the white background with colored text.
3. Select recovery
4. Make sure the rom or any rom you downloaded is present on your sd card..
5. Select install from sd. Card
6. Browse to where the rom is, usually in /download file, unless you moved it to the root directory
7. If the zip file IS there, let's try reinstalling the rom before doing the other fancy stuff
8. Assuming you are still in the directory where the zip file is for the rom you are flashing, select that zip file by pressing the power button when it's highlighted (navigate up and down with volume keys).
9. Select yes you are sure you want to whatever it says..
10. Wait for it to complete, hopefully it says the rom installed correctly.
11. Go back to the first recovery menu _ you should see back arrows at the top.. Select those arrows until you see an option to reboot.
12. Select reboot
13. Profit?
If this works, then you are golden.. You may want to see if the rom you are using is over clocking the cpu - your cpu might not like to be o/c
Let us know how it goes!

Hey, i been trying to research all day and no go :/ ... thanks for the step-by-step but im not sure if im explaining myself very good
my phone is completely black. i used this link here to root it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
when my black screen was going on for the first time, i went home thinking if maybe i try n re-root it itll fix. well now im not sure if the process got interrupted but now its only black. no lights on the touch buttons and now i feel its getting worse and i really hope im not losing this phone :/ ... nothing shows at all no more. when i take the battery out and put it back in, i can turn it on (it'll vibrate once) but thats it... nothing more. again when i take out the battery and insert it back, if i hold the up volume key and power, the led notification light will flash orange and one vibration pulse will occur and the led will keep flashing.. holding it down, it'll just vibrate.. nothing on the screen shows anymore.. i want to call HTC but im not sure if i will be able to replace it :/ and im not sure if they can tell that its rooted..
Tonight i just pressed the power as if i were turning it on, and i will leave it over night to see if miracles happen..
please if you ANY suggestion, im alllll ears .. i hope to maybe solve this and learn my lesson to just not root it no more lol
Thanks AGAIN!

so it wont wake up. Well i would pull the battery then put it back in. Now hold the vol button down while pressing the power. Now you are in recovery. Wipe everything (partition, data factory reset, and dalvik located under the advanced menu) now relash the rom or another rom. Make sure you download a rom and place on the sd card first.

Replacing hboot may fix it. But if your board is going bad it will probably happen again. I would just replace it while you can. Refurbs aren't bad, especially if they are in better shape than your current phone.

Hey everyone I have a HTC inspire which I flashed jelly time onto, before that my volume buttons worked but now they don't work and the button is complety gone HTC did a very bad job with that it easily came out... So recently when I boot the phone on it boots the normal jelly time startup and the black screen. I have seen the only way to fix this is either factory reset or reflash ROM. But I am unable to do that since ,y volume button is broken. I have read that you can get to recovery via adb and or flash via adb can someone help me out please?

you can connect your HTC phone to your computer via USB cable, and use the command below, before that you need to install adb shell on Windows.
adb reboot bootloader
Also, you could enter Recovery mode through ROM Toolbox and if you're using TWRP, its touch, so you dont need hardware keys.

So you're stuck on booting and your hardware buttons dont work?
There is a way to get into the recovery in such a situation but that usually relies on the hardware buttons. What device do you have? What recovery?
Try this
Remove battery n reinsert it
Now connect the phone to charger.
Don't do anything keep the phone as it is for 5 -10 min.
It will automatically go to recovery

Im assuming you have android sdk installed
Connect your phone, locate adb using cmd prompt (change directory) (RUN AS ADMIN), type 'adb reboot recovery' (no quotes)
I will try this in the morning. What screen do I use the command at? Anytime?

Follow these fool-proof steps:
Locate your android sdk folders-> navigate to the folder where adb is located ->hold shift + right click on the folder containing adb and select ''open command window here'' ( this will automatically take care of pointing the directory to that location) -> 'adb reboot recovery' ENTER
This will automatically enter recovery. I suggest you restore your old backup .
As for your volume buttons, you should be able to fix it easily if you know a little bit of soldering and know-how.

HTC Desire HD hard reset without volume buttons
I have htc desire hd and my volume buttons is broken ,my phone is much dispute and have lots of bugs i want to HARD RESET no factory reset only hard reset with rebote. Please help me how to reset my HTC DHD without volume buttons!!
!!sorry for my english!!
SOLVED! (At least for me)
To whom may still be interested, I found a way to get into recovery and subsequently wipe data/factory reset the HTC Inspire 4G/Desire HD without using the volume buttons.
Phone background: the phone that I used had the internal volume buttons broken. It was rooted and unlocked using the effen hack kit, then I flashed a custom ROM on it and I forgot to do a factory reset before I firstly boot up the phone with the new ROM. So it was stuck on the boot animation forever.
Steps for getting into recovery mode without volume buttons:
1. Take the battery off
2. Plug the phone to a wall charger for at least one or two minutes.
3. Put the battery back on along with the battery door and don't touch any buttons.
- The orange led on the front will light up and stay on for a few seconds before the phone automattically gets into recovery
Note: use the touch capacitive buttons to manipulate recovery:
- Home/Menu buttons to navigate up/down
- Back button to go back
- Search button to select
That's pretty much it. At this point you can do anything!
I hope this can help someone out there... If it helped you please hit the thanks button!

You can use adb commands to enter in recovery mode. Connect your android to PC. Enable adb debugging and open command prompt in PC.
Type "adb devices" without qoutes and enter then type "adb reboot recovery" and enter. These commands boot your android in recovery mode.

You may need to uncheck usb debugging in developer options then reboot and go in and check usb debugging again then try adb tools using adb devices and see if it works then. Some m8's can be a real pain that way you just need to keep trying.

I would run the newest ruu that dottat has posted in the android development section for this phone, put it on your sd card using your computer, then put it back in your phone and boot to fastboot and let it pick it up and hit I believe it is yes and it will restore your phone. You are on 4.4.4 right ? If you are having problems getting to fastboot hold power and volume up until you see the lights change and or it vibrate then quickly switch to power and volume down and it should take you to fastboot, it may take you multiple tries to get it there. This sounds like the screen of death issues people have had on viperone which the fix for that so far has been to reverse the 4g handoff fix as most people that have the sod they had used the 4g handoff fix but if you cant get past the black screen then you cant do the fix for that. Have you tried leaving your phone sit for a while to see if it comes out of it ? Also most people only had that issue in weak signal areas so a good signal area could get your screen working again if you had done the 4g handoff fix. If you did some have said that the change can stick even through a ruu, but I cannot verify that either way.
Can I say I'm having an almost same problem.
I wiped my phone in prep of loading a new rom.
RUU the firmware for 4.4.4
Loaded twrp
and then it rebooted to the htc screen.
Now I can't get past that screen. I can hard reboot but it only comes back to that screen. and if I try to access it through the computer it can't load the driver so that I can sideload.
Help please

it's tricky to get it back to hboot... but you can with practice. Hold power a both volume buttons until you think it finally has rebooted. Switch to only holding vol down to enter hboot. Timing and practice makes perfect.
It took about an hour of trying. But I did it. Plus I had to do a few other things to get things remounted.

Once I was back in recovery I reformatted before rebooting and then from recovery I installed the rom.

I agree with Dottat, faced the same issue when trying to flash ARHD 22.1 on my Verizon M8. I think I sprayed some **** in my pants with that loud fart .
After trying several times I got the trick and could get into Hboot. The issue I think was I was holding Power + Volume up & down for more than required time and it Rebooted. We need to Switch Off the device by Holding Power + Volume UP & Down button for about 8-10 secs and then just remove the finger from Volume UP button. It takes you to Hboot mode..
