My phone is running in safe mode and I cannot exit from this mode, I tried a lot o key combination and nothing works. I canno enter in download mode too, the phone always stops in the warning screen ask for flash custom roms and the volume key doesn't works in this screen.
Any one have a ideia to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.
My samsung galaxy s4 volume goes down without turning it off or mute.. You'll see it in screen in action the volume animation went down to mute. Then the turn off button can't use in about 35minutes.. I factory reset it but now.. When you turn it on.. The screen has message of installing custom os can damage your system or application.. Choose volume up to continue.. Volume down to restart.. When you choose down it goes back to that screen again.. When I choose up.. It goes to safe mode.. It open but in safe mode and It only has bundle app.. No app that I installed and can't be install any app. Pls help me.. Is it hardware, button, etc. Malfunction error or its the operating system
Anyone know of a custom rom for the Nexus7 (grouper) that removes the built-in android feature to enable safe mode via volume down key?
Reason: I have a nexus 7 with a broken volume down key.
Therefore it always boots into fastboot, and then then on start, boots into safe mode.
Steps taken to rectify button problem:
1. I have already replaced the Power & Volume Button Cable and it did not fix it. I am assuming that it is a mainboard issue.
2. I have also re-flashed 4.4.2 (KOT49H) factory image, just in case something was stuck.
So I was thinking if it could be solved via software (custom rom), by either disabling safe boot entirely or remapping keys early enough in the boot sequence.
Seems a shame for this thing to be almost useless (no 3rd party apps) just because of a broken volume button.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

BUMP: I am having the exact same problem. I also replaced the volume button cable and that didn't solve it.
Hystrix0 did you ever solve this issue?
Nope, dhowell1, I did not.
I had to tell my sister she can use it for.... browsing the web? It's almost useless.

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9505) and I'm currently at the official 4.4.2 (XXUFN88).
Yesterday I was listening to music and my volume started to go down by itself. I has annoyed me but ok. Today, at the morning, I've noticed that my volume down button wasn't working. So I restarted my phone. So the phone went to the recovery screen. Volume up to flash a rom or down to cancel. I tried so hard but none of the options were available.
After a few tries I succeed to enter in safe mode by turning on my mobile with the volume up pressed. At the safe mode I noticed that the volume up was normally working.
I thought that it could be a hardware issue. Then I head to a place to have this fixed. But after opening the phone we noticed that everything was alright. The technical assistance told me that the problem was at the software. Ok, I came home to reset the s4.
I did a factory reset through safe mode but the problem is still here. Now I'm planning to reflash the rom with Odin, but since I can't choose 'continue' at the recovery screen I don't know what to do.
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

[ATUALIZATION] Hey guys. I had no answer but here I am again.
I'm trying so hard to fix this problem. Now I'm pretty sure that my problem is software related. Just because when I turn on my phone it goes automatically to download mode (and i should been pressing power volume down and menu for that). And if i press volume up it goes to safe mode (but for that i should been pressing volume down and power insted).
Do somebody know how can I accept the option "CONTINUE" at the download screen with volume buttons unresponsive? I do really want to reflash the ROM and check if it works.

Can you not use the up button to loop around to continue then select it with power ?

No. When it reaches the Download screen any buttons work.
See, I found another guy with the same problem. Another evidence that it's software related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678489
Hi guys,
My friend has a grand prime 530FZ and it boots into safe mode by itself. Soft and hard reboot dont have any effects.
After many tests, i saw that the volume down button was broken so i think it is constantly being pressed while booting, thats why it boots into safe mode.
Now i would like to know how can i disable these volume buttons or how can i manage to get normal boot without changing the motherboard.
Otherwise the phone works well, i can access to download mode but not into recovery because of this constant volume down during boot.
Thanks for your help guys
