[Q] Safe mode problem... - General Questions and Answers

Hello to all,
Have an issue that i have trawled the forum for but have not found any solution, not any that work anyway.
I have a rooted Cooper, currently running CM 10.1, 4.2.2 and the problem i have is that every time i re-boot
or indeed boot from off, it loads into safe mode (shows in bottom LH corner) i've tried the button pressing and
the battery removal, cleared all, reset til the cows come home and yet safe mode is still active.
Has anyone encountered the same problem and has found a permanent solution????
Appreciate any input.....
Thanks
*Update*
I have just flashed the SGS III/IV JB V12-BETA and now instead of safe mode i have cocaine found ;0) same problem different rom.
*Update 2*
The above Rom has a feature in the power off screen= Reboot then hot reboot, phone reboots into normal running.
Not really a fix but a easy way to get out of safe mode...Still would like to find a permanent solution.

I'm having the same issue. Hopefully any input can help?

See OP, update 2...
If you wanted to install a new rom then, it'll provide an easy way to turn safe mode off.

Sensation screen not longer responding AT ALL after update - halp :(

Hello all,
First, I'm gonna say I'm very very very sorry if this issue has been seen and spoken about before, but I've used search and I couldn't find any problem like this one...
My Sensation was working perfectly, no touchscreen lag, all was fine. After latest update touchscreen, and every button except for power, completely died on me - response-wise. Phone turns on, but not a single button (except power one, like I said) is not working... I've seen threads about rooting, S-Off-ing device etc, but major problem is I can't get into USB debug so I'm kinda out of (known) options
Tried factory reset, no help.
My idea of problem is that updated ROM is the problem, and if I somehow manage to flash stock ROM I would be good to go. But with all those S-Off/On, root, BRICKING issues, I wouldn't want to risk it
Thanks for any help you provide in advance, and I must say sorry again if this problem was answered before - I couldn't find it with search...
Update
If I were you I would exchange the phone and run the update again. It sounds like a freak accident to me. As for myself I've noticed a major improvement in performance since the update, to disregard it would be detrimental.

Galaxy S2 not booting to recovery or download mode

I am a novice. Please excuse if my forum etiquette is not upto the mark
Issues:
1. Phone not booting into recovery or download mode
2. USB Jig not working as well.
3. When turning on from power off, skips Samsung boot screen as well as ROM boot animation and directly opens home screen.
Background:
Followed instructions on this thread to get rid of yellow triangle (As far as I know, followed instructions to the dot) :

Ever since, I face the three issues listed above.

Thanks for your response, Aramil:
I've tried multiple times to:
1. Boot to recovery mode - Black screen, only the two soft buttons light up.
2. Boot to download mode - Black screen, only the two soft buttons light up.
3. Turn off phone and connect USB Jig - No response.
4. Removed battery and then replaced it while simultaneously pressing volume down+middle key+power on - No Response.
SOLVED!!
Alrighty. I solved it myself!!
After more than a week of very limited help from members, I stumbled upon the solution to this issue.
The problem was with the bootloader. I flashed a stock bootloader, and all my issues were fixed!!
Thanks to those who attempted to help!!
Any suggestions on how I can get more people to post replies? Almost 200 people saw my post, but just Aramil replied! I must say I felt a bit letdown by the community. Anyways, Thanks Aramil!

no recovery or download modes and irregular bootup
I have this trouble also and think it is a bootloader problem. Rinuvimal says problem solved by flashing a stock bootloader. How is that done please?
My problem is:
1. I think it started when I bought a USB jig. To use this I needed to flash an old bootloader which I did through Odin.
2. Now I cannot access CWM by using up volume, home and power buttons. Nor can I access download mode using down volume, home and power.
3. Inserting the usb jig does not now load the download mode screen.
4.From off, when I press power, it does not go through usual boot process (nothing showing on screen) but after the soft key lights come on I seem to have booted up and can then use phone as normal.
My settings show Android 4.0.3, Baseband Version i9100BVKJ4, Kernel version i9100XXLP6-CL72050 and Build number lidroid-resurrection remix ics 9.4 black edition by westcrip XXLPH.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem please?

[Q] Safe mode in HTC Sensation

Hi guys,
I am currently using ARHD 6.6.2 with custom recovery, radio, etc.. Recently I contacted HTC to ask them about the problem with wifi and mobile network auto turning on, and they ask me to check in safe mode (an option in the bootloader). Since I am not running stock kernel and using a custom recovery, I cannot find that safe mode option any more. Can any one tell me where I can find or get that safe mode option?
Safe mode?? I'm running s-off on hboot 1.18 with a revert back to a stock recovery and see no option for "safe mode" in either the bootloader menu or the recovery menu...
Maybe someone smarter than me will come along, but are you sure they said "safe mode"??

I can't help you with the safe mode as I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist if you have a custom recovery flashed.
But as for the wifi/mobile bug, it's actually quite a common bug at the moment which there doesn't seem to be a solid fix for yet.
If you have a look in the Dev section there is a thread designated to this fix. Hell, I'll even get it for you.
If that fails to work, users have reported back fixes that have worked for them, if you have a look in the Android Revolution HD thread, there has been a lot of them posted there. Just use the search.
Hope this helps.
They confuse Android with the Windows Mobile

I also didn't know such thing as safe mode exists, but because I was using the chat support from HTC, there would be no mistake about it. On two separate occasions, two HTC technicians prompted me to go into the bootloader (power + volume down) and select safe mode to see if my wifi problems still existed.

Thanks for your help. The reason I want to contact HTC is because I have searched around many threads and there is no definitive solution for this wifi problem yet. This problem exists on stock ICS ROM for the Sensation, so I guess I can report this problem to HTC so that they can fix it in their later updates (which will benefit normal users who do not even know there is such a forum called XDA).

I'm still curious about this... I wonder if anyone can find the "safe mode" on their device??
SAFE MODE - restart the phone, after it has turned off it will boot, as soon as you see the white screen with the green htc logo, press and hold Volume down until the phone vibrates/buzzes. It will take a while so do not let go of the Volume down button.
If succesful you will have the text "Safe mode" in the lower left corner of your screen.
To exit safe mode, reboot the phone.

Oh ya, it works, so this safe mode exists with ARHD as well. Thanks a lot!!!

[Q] AT&T bootloop or suddent reboot

Hi, i have been looking for answers on the forum, and i learn new things but not how to fix this or what is causing it.
I have buyed i997 from a reseller. He sayd it doesnt work because it have bootloop, but i thinks that is not too much problem getting it working again, so i started searching for the pc drivers n software, then i find here in the forum the stock rom with and without root, i tested them both with odin and the bootloop stills present. I wipe cache and do a factory reset but it keep bootlooping, then think maybe if i update to latest AT&T rom, but no luck.Sometimes the phone just start and theres no bootloop but its very rare and most of the time when i get to the lock screen or setup manager suddently a gapps or something crash and my phome freezes and reboot. I flashed the carbon-jb-v1.6 and suddently it worked fine, no more bootloop and everything smooth,no crashes etc.. then i installed Facebook app and when i was ttyping a message the phone froze up and then restarts, and the bootloop came again, and im stuck on it, and when i pass it, which is very rare, i start typing info in the startup manager and the phone freezes and reboot.. I wipe/format cache, dalvik, factory reset, formated system and data before and after flashing the carbon rom again and it keeps bootlooping. Somebody have similar problems or know how to fix it?
Thanks
P.d. sorry for my bad english.

Thanks man, but you think it can be the power button? When i unplug the battery and put it again the phone doesnt turn on or something, and when it boot up when i lock the screen with the power button it works fine. I set the cpu governor to conservative and since yesterday i didnt have any problem, but sometimes the phone reboots when typing, i think its someting with the processor or when the phone have little ram or something.
Thanks.

If you ran the phone on complete stock GB or FROYO and you are getting boot loops, it may be a hardware issue.
One of the few things that will give you boot loop with the samsung logo while using the phone is the power button.
Either way, it's no big deal to open it and clean it up to see if the problem goes away.

Thanks bud, I will try cleaning the button. Also I want to ask, is there something to log everything when the phone start? Or something to test the hardware functionality?

Bootlog Uptime will keep a record of all boots from an Android OS perspective ... It will also track crashes... It won't track events outside of a complete restart (i.e. power button bootloops.. But those are pretty obvious when they occur)
For hardware testing, try Z Device Test... That won't tell you about the buttons though... If your screen turns on without pressing power button or from any other standard event (like receiving a text or a phone call), or the phone restarts by itself, time to get cleaning..

Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) not booting into Download Mode

STORY
I installed a stock ROM for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) and it was stuck at the flashing SAMSUNG logo (the one with the tune) and so I just left it there and went to sleep. The next day I tried turning on the tablet but it didn't work so I booted into Download Mode and did a NAND erase. I was planning to install a stock ROM from SAMMOBILE but now I can't boot into Download Mode. When I try to, it goes into the warning screen and after a second or so, it becomes black. I figured it could have been out of battery or a button is broken. I have tried charging the tablet with wall charger (2.1A) but it doesn't seem to work. I could occasionally get it successfully into Download Mode but it will turn off itself for no reason.
PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CANNOT BOOT INTO ANYTHING NOT EVEN DOWNLOAD MODE SO PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME GUIDES ON HOW TO FLASH.
I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A GUIDE ON HOW TO ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE WITHOUT USING PHYSICAL BUTTONS.
THERE IS NO ROM INSTALLED SO DON'T TELL ME TO GO THE TERMINAL OR ANYTHING. IT IS ABSOLUTELY EMPTY ONLY HARDWARE AND DOWNLOAD MODE IS INSIDE THE TABLET.
Anyways, please help. I am trying to get daniel_hk's cyanogen mod on this for my friend and I don't think he would expect me giving a bricked tablet to him.
Dead battery maybe?
Do you guys think I joined the dead battery club?
HELP
HELP please I need it working by Monday.
WORKING
Nevermind it is working now.
