Samsung S8+ stuck in safe mode - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi, my phone is stuck in safe mode, since I had it in water and it got water damaged causing the vol buttons and power button not to work properly. Here comes the question - is there any way to overcome safe mode? I tried every possible solution there was, even factory resetting didn't do anything. Help would be appreciated.

Phone resets randomly - occasionally will not turn on or respond to any inputs - help

Got a weird problem with my Photon Q
Occasionally the phone will freeze up and reset - tried narrowing this down to a possible app crash but it doesnt seem to be any offenders
Occasionally the phone will freeze and turn off - after this it will respond to no inputs (power button has no effect, plugging it into the computer or wall charger will not lightup the charging light)
Battery life seems to be ok - nothing drastically different than normal
Once the phone is dead the only way to get it to turn on again is to hold volume up and the power button which gets me to the screen with the little android laying on his back with the exclamation point
At this point I do a soft reset (power button plus volume down) and the phone resets and turns on.
Hardware issue? Would a factory reset possibly fix this? I was thinking about a custom rom anyways.......
I have same situation with one with my phone, but was with "sim modded phone " and that was a fault of bad conneciton with mb and sim slot ( i add capacitor and problem was gone )

My phone has been stuck in a boot loop all night. I tried doing a factory wipe but that didn't change anything. I get stuck on the second Motorola "M" boot screen, and then my phone will just reset. Any help is appreciated!

I did, but still no luck. I wiped the data and cache a few times, no luck. It just freezes on the animated Motorola logo screen.

You seem to have thread jacked, but I would suggest using RSD Lite to restore a completely stock setup.

I tried wiping the cache, which worked for me one of the times I got stuck. On the recovery screen (with the little android dude on his back), press vol up and down together. It will bring up a menu that will give you the option to wipe your cache. I don't know if this will have any adverse affects, but since I was desperate to get my phone back up, I tried it. Good luck!

Nexus 5 - Hardbrick ?

Hey guys,
I need some urgent help.
My Nexus 5 device is not booting. It stucks at the bootlogo then powers off and restarts again.
Normally it wouldnt be hard to fix such an issue but the problem is :
I can't boot into bootloader (bootloader appears for 1 second then phone powers off)
I can't boot into Recovery mode (Recoverymode appears for a second then phone powers off)
I can't get my phone into fastboot mode, - it appears for a few seconds durign the bootloop as an "unknown device", but I am not able to flash a new bootloader/factoryimage.
I tried like every possible option what I can do, but nothign worked for me.
What else can I try since I can' get my phone into fastbootmode?
Bootloader is unlocked
Secureboot is enabled
(from what i can see in these 2 seconds where the bootlaoder pop's up)
Is there a way to recover my nexus5?
Symptoms of broken starter button
Posté depuis Nexus 5 / Miui7 by Miui-France
Remove the motherboard and clean around the power button. When you have cleaned around the power button, quickly press and release the power button using more pressure than normal a few times, try to boot again.
Thanks for the tips!
I never thought that a broken Button could cause this issue.
I will check it as soon as I am home.
But how am I supposed to clean the motherboard, and I don't understand how cleaning the button from the outside
of the case should help to solve this problem.
Can you guys explain it a bit more detailed please? ^^
Are there good and very detailed tutorials for this?
And yes, you ideas definitely make sense because some days earlier when the Nexus5 was still
booting fine, I remember that I sometimes had the issue when I turned of the display with the power button
it instantly turned on again and I had to turn it off like 3-5 times until it really was off (standby).
To clean around the power button, you'll have to disassemble the phone which is not hard to do it you take your time and use the right tools.

I noticed that the issue really was the powerbutton, - however the button was broken and
not repairable by cleaning. To repair the phone I would have to purchase a new motherboard.
In the end I decieded to purchase another phone, just saying that if someone will have the same issue in the future
try to clean first, if that wont help the powerbutton is most likely broken, and this results in a new motherboard-purchase because
the button is not repaireable by hand
The power is replaceable if the damage is confined to the power button itself.

Stuck in safe mode

I Have a SM-G920P that only boots into safe mode, i've tried lifting the volume down button up thinking it was stuck causing it to boot into safe mode, but no luck. The volume does not go down at all while using the phone nor can you use the volume down button.
what can i do? i've been searching high an low, im very limited in safe mode with what i can do with this phone.
can i root it? can i remove a file that registers the volume down button? any help would be greatly appreciated!
also this phone is a sprint phone, i no longer have sprint. this phone has a bad imei and is no longer under warranty or any repair service.
anything? is this just a paper weight?
Sounds like you have a hardware related issue here, unless you can get that fixed there's not much else you can do.

Safe mode bootloop - stuck volume down button

Hi guys, my s6 edge keeps bootlooping in safe mode, because the volume down is stuck. The problem though it's not with the actual button, but with the phone's motherboard. Does anyone have a hardware or software solution, ie permanently disable safe mode?
Cheers

S8 Plus Recovery Auto Boot

Hi guys, this is my very first thread so here goes nothing,
I recently damaged my S8 + power button and it is no longer operational, however i have been able to boot to download mode and reset device after it going flat and not turning back on and staying in a bootloop while plugged in. Any way so my new problem is that it went flat again and i plugged it into charge and it automatically boots into recovery mode and when i manage to get it into download mode pressing volume up or down does not work. Any way to fix this and get my phone back up and running?
I can definitely see that being a ***** because you need the power button in sequence with Bixby and a vol button to get to download mode or recovery. Id prob root the phone and install quick shortcuts app that gives you on/off/reboot/restart/ options it might help you. But replacing the power button is a simple procedure and I'm sure it's very cheap to. Id fix that button and problem solved.
