Hi!
I have a problem with my Epic. My phone stucks in safe mode, I can't start apps and turn on download mode. I don't know how to get out from safe mode. How to do that?
Hello,
To get into safe mode the procedure is to hold the menu button on the keyboard while booting up. Maybe the button is stuck?? ( top left button on keyboard above the back button)
Yes, this button is stuck but my phone is in safe mode and i want to get out from safe mode. When phone is running there is "safe mode" on bottom left corner. Rebooting doesn't work, factory reset too. I only want to get phone into download mode but it isn't working.
So I would suggest getting the button UN-stuck, that would probably do it.
How to un-stuck this button?
Alcohol with a brush, mini flathead screwdriver, wiggle, pry, or take it apart and clean the button, or take it to sprint if your not rooted and have insurance. But it sounds pretty easy to fix yourself.
Menu button don't work, 5,t,g,v and space also.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Take it to a Sprint repair store.
Thank you very much for help. I will take Epic to repair store.
What can you do under safe mode?
I can use pre-installed apps, internet, watch YouTube videos.

I ve recently bought a broken screen G900F ,an galaxy s5.After i repaired the screen i switched it on to see there s a pattern lock.once i tried to put it to download mode to reset it,screen comes up with push volume up to get into download mode but volume up button doesnt work.I think volume down button is stuck thats why it doesnt work.when i switch the phone on its always on safe mode which indicates volume down button is stuck? i even have replaced the volume flex but didnt help...
is there any other way i can get this phone restored or volume button sorted?any help will appreciated...
thanks for your help
Sounds like you need Something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Back-Hous...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item43cae3361a
You could try using some alcohol to clean the inside of the volume buttons, in case an dirt got in there, since, I'm presuming, the phone was dropped, hence the broken screen.
i have manage to locate a i9100 jig to put it on download mode for now.but still have to get the volume sorted somehow.
thanks for your help
A JTAG jig will put you into download mode.
For a malfunctioning volume switch, check to see if the part is stuck, bent or dirty.
If you can't restore operation, then replace it.
It's not clear if the parts are available separately. They appear to be included with the rear frame.

I have searched and searched for a fix for this problem,
no keys are working (volume up, volume down, lock/power, options, home & back), after losing its IMEI number during a flight (no idea how) I took it to a repair shop to which they said they couldn't fix, but as I left the shop walking down the road I turned the phone on, only to see a 4G connection and software from a custom rom flash.
Feeling happy as they didn't charge me for the repair I try to use my phone as normal, send a text message and tried to return to the previous screen via the back button, not working.... I then went on to try every other button, still, not working..
I get home and try to boot in to recovery mode, it worked... The volume button worked?
I also booted in to download mode and put a different rom on, still not working whilst phone is in normal state.
Any one else experienced this or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Rafiki.
Immediately after unlock,at times,my screen goes half black and after pressing home key i am able to get the full screen.This does not happen all the times but sometimes it does.
Did you try restarting to safe mode to see if the issue persists

Does it do it in safe mode?
Are you stock? if not, what mods, rom, kernel, etc?
I am on stock unrooted.How do I attach screenshots with my post?I have a screenshot wherein the problem is seen.
Does it do it in safe mode? To get into safe mode hit the power button to shut down then tap and hold the on screen power down button rather than tapping. An option to boot into safe mode should come up. Then you can test app by all to see what is causing the fubar.
I also have exactly same problem in my Moto x play.
Did u find any solution?
Hey everyone,
I'm having a problem with my s8. It fell down and now the vol down button is stuck. Wasn't a problem before my battery went to 0% and the phone shut down :laugh:. Now when i turn it on, it always goes into this "safe mode" and I can't start any 3rd party apps.
Now I was thinking about a thing, but before I try that I thought I ask here first. What happens when I factory reset the phone over the settings menu? Since I will have to "install" it new will the "safe mode" still turn on then?
Hope you can help me and sorry for my bad English :laugh:
Thanks in advance

Yes safe mode will turn on after factory reset. The reason its turning on safe mode is because the button combo for safe mode is vol down + home together. Now as your down button is stuck.... when you press power to turn on its actually going to safe mode as down + home are pressed together.
You need to find a way to get the vol down button un stuck.

Damn, was hoping that after that after the Factory reset it won't go into safe mode because of the let's call it software reset :laugh:. Well the phone has an insurance so I have to call them. Thank you anyway
Hey guys! I have avast! anti-theft and virus installed on my s7. I was on a road trip and out of no where my phone started alarming saying that it was lost or stolen. The avast! anti-theft lock screen is displaying and my avast! pin won't unlock it. I tried disabling it from the avast! website but it still wouldn't work. I put in a ticket with avast! but since I didn't have the pro version they cannot help. So pretty much I'm locked out of the phone. I can get to the regular lock screen and phone dialer, but if I try to go to notifications and then click on settings it won't allow it. Is there any way I can reset with Odin? I can't power it off so I don't know how to get to safe-mode or anything like that. ANY help will be appreciated. :angel:

power + volume down + home . hold them for about ten seconds......be careful at next menu you see....don't format your phone
you will see safe mode listed
If safe mode is able to disable Avast! anyway, possible it won't being a security software but worth a try:
Turn on and use safe mode
Safe mode allows you to turn on the device with third-party apps disabled. Then you can easily unistall apps that may be causing a conflict or software problem.
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power key past the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge screen.
When "SAMSUNG" appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
Uninstall apps that are causing a problem.
Turn off safe mode
Press and hold the Power key.
Tap Restart.

Otherwise boot into recovery (Volume Up & Home & Power) and factory reset (Will wipe everything from the phone)
