in two words... its gone...
Windows 8 introduces the all new graphical boot menu with several troubleshoot and advanced options such as Refresh your PC, Reset your PC, System Restore, System Image Recovery, and Automatic Repair. i think its f8 after post and do a system restore like you would do on your cellphone and if you do a refresh then you need your product key so make sure you have it as it is required after it is done.

So, i'll have to hard reset it like my WM................
It's irritating....
The only way I know how to get into safe mode is through Windows 8.. kinda useless right?
Safe mode is NOT gone at all!
It's still available in windows 8, is too important to be left out in case of recovery.
Just press f8, search for it in advanced setting:

I prefer getting into safe mode in Windows 8 consumer preview from within the windows.

That is not safe mode.
That is safe boot.
They are not the same

nope, it is safe mode. You just select the safe mode option and than you will be prompted to reboot your system.
After that your PC will automatically boot in safe mode.
Go to "Windows 8 Development and Hacking"
You can do this by choosing Settings – More Settings and clicking Restart now under Advanced startup. The PC restarts and you get to a “Choose an option” screen where you can click Troubleshoot. Next, click Windows Startup Settings and then Restart. This gets you the familiar F8 options including Safe mode.

G928F stuck at upsm

Hello, fellas. My device is SM-G928F. Before few hours I've switch on UPSM. I found right away there no such apps or option to turn off UPSM. The only button available was the Settings, but very limited - airplane mode, wifi, brightness and etc. My mistake was to reboot the device and the result is persistent bootloop. No option to turf off the phone or reboot. I must wait to drain the battery.
The case is pretty lame, because of my Package Disable Pro. I'm not using auto disable packages, but everything of my choise. I was aware of disable com.sec.android.emergencylauncher, so I'm sure i don't touch any critical packages, because of weeks of no-problemos using.
So my questions: Is there any chance to turn off upsm via adb or enable all disabled apps via adb? My device is not rooted, so this is no way. Factory reset is no way out. Any suggestions?
Of couse Safe Mode is not usable method too, because of the bootloop? Any suggestions?
Best regards
PS - Botting into stock recovery, download mode or shutting down the device is ok. But what about debugging via adb in the download mode? Any chances to get working adb via download mode? Any suggestions? ^____^

Boot into your Recovery. It should be a custom one like TWRP.
In TWRP click on Advance -> File Manager.
There you have to find '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases'. This is the place where your settings get stored.
Just add to the 3 files inside a .bak to the end and reboot. This should have reset all your settings and it should boot fine

Thanks for the tips, but I don't want to root.
Under Windows 7, when I check the device, the console return me unauthorized device, but in debian I see offline.
I cannot get access to the data partition in this moment. I'm sure USB Debugging is enable. Under Debian, when I connect device to my pc, I get SIM code question. Any ideas?

If you don't want to root or flash anything, the only thing you can do is a factory reset...
Dear forum friends, the easiest way was rooting the phone and flashing the latest twrp. After that is very easy - enable all emergency packages via adb, which associated with upsm. So if you use Package Disabler backup everything and check twice before reboot the device.
Thanks for helping, @WerWolv!

Recovery for Galaxy Tab Active 2 sm-t397u

I purchased the sm-t397u from ebay, but the seller did not tell me the Tablet is MDM locked. There was no return warning and I am trying to ship it back but so far it's a no go.
The tablet get's to a screen to enter a PIN with a message "this devices is managed by your organization". So obviously MDM is enabled.
I can boot into recovery mode via home+volume up + power but can't do factory reset - MDM prevents that.
Download mode is "disabled as well" - volume down + power only gets me to the Enter PIN screen again. So I was not able to try Odin + combination file
Is there anyway to recovery this or is it a brick? Seems I should be able to put files on microSD and read from recovery and/or possibly ADB (so far the USB connection has not worked, but I had Huawei drivers installed and need to try on a different laptop with clean Windows and Samsung USB only)
Thank you
OK, no money back but made some progress. I can now boot into the kiosk mode and can get ADB working. But still unable to remove the KNOX MDM enrollment - I can boot, do the setup it will kick in and I end up in kiosk mode.
Factory reset from the recovery mode is now possible, but it did not help.
Need some additional ideas please.
Thank you!
Hi.I have the same situation for a while.I saw a solution by rewriting the bootloader via jtag pins but seems too complicated and i lack the tools for that.How did you manage to enable kiosk mode ? did you manage to do something beyond that ?

S10+ recovery using DroidKit

I succeeded in locking myself out of my phone. With no other option (no Google/Samsung accounts, no developer mode, etc), I am looking at using DroidKit.
The problem there is that they took my money very quickly, but I can't get any tech support response from them.
As I understand it, the point is to write as little as possible before recovery.
In theory, files can be unerased in the same way that they can in a Windows OS.
The question is this: The phone was shut down after being wiped. When I start it next, it will want to do a setup, but I'm afraid that process will overwrite data.
Should I leave it at the first screen and connect it with a cable ? Can the phone be reached on a clean start without specifically turning on developer mode ?
Should I go through the setup and then enable developer mode ?
Are there other steps I should take in order to avoid overwriting ?
