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

I have always noticed that it is a good habit to do a Hard Reset after Rom Flash, but I am wondering if I am doing this correctly, so can anyone help me out?
I have always flashed ROMs, then as the system reboots, I have allowed the boot... skipped all setup....and then went straight to settings>security and did the 1234 Hard Reset. Is there a better way to do it?
let the setup complete, turn off the phone , press and hold both vol up and vol down, press and release power (keep holding vol up and down)
on grey screen press vol up phone will restart and run setup again.

that's the way i also do it, no problems whatsoever. if you cannot access the security setting for some reason, you can always do it with the volume and start hardware keys. i think there is no difference, just like there's no difference between the red button reset and restart from the menu.

So as soon as it reaches 100%, the phone restarts itself. I am to stop this process? Sorry, I just want to be sure I am doing it correctly. When should I interrupt the normal restart procedure?

Ah, well... maybe I'll just stick with what I know.
It's also worked without issue for me, so...
I let out run all the way through setting up and then hard reset. (sounds off to me too but hey)
My Bell i9000 SGS has been locking up several times a day since I got it. Today I was installing Weather Bug and Weather Channel apps and it locked--now it won't boot at all.
I guess the phone is probably faulty and will need to be exchanged. Nonetheless, I'd feel better if I could factory reset the phone before returning it. I'm always happier when my private info isn't on the phone before returning it...
I tried all the key combos I could find on boot up, none of them do anything. If I keep holding any of them, it just powers the phone off and on repeatedly.

I can't boot up into Android at all.
try recovery mode
hold volume up key + big square home button key + power button key
when you see the screen light up with the B/W Samsung logo, let go of the power button key
then inside the recovery mode, you have the option to Wipe your data

The phone just keeps booting as per normal. It gets as far as the Galaxy S logo... then nothing.

hmmmm..... then you got one of those model where bell disabled the option to go into Recovery Mode / Download Mode
the only thing you can do now is to go back to Bell and have them exchange it or flash it for you.
similar problem, cant get into recovery mode, but if I remove the battery, then hold volume up + home + power then put the battery in, it will get to a screen with the little android dude and it says forced upload mode due to key press. how very odd.
First question: Not sure if it's the phone or the software but when I shutdown my phone and try to turn it back on by holding the volume button and the power button, it doesn't work. But as soon as release the power button, it decides to turn on. Can someone help me with this?
Second question: Does my phone need to be rooted to get Android 4.1.1?
NOTE* Currently on Android 2.3
1) Keep trying, you shouldn't have to release a button to turn it on. Are you holding the right buttons? Its down+power
2)Yes

First Volume down, then the power button, it should be on within 3 seconds.
Do you have ADB enabled? Plug your phone into your computer, if your computer recognizes it via ADB, come back
Help!

I would try pushing recovery img through adb. See if that solves the problem.
My galaxy s4 turns on automatically with out pressing the power button as soon as i put the battery in, then it dies after it gets to the galaxy s4 logo.. then nothing would turn in back on. i tried almost everything, idk what to do.
Is it hard bricked or is it soft bricked? I also cant get to the hard reset menu. When i put the battery i quickly press the power button and the down volume button, it goes to the boot menu screen. if i press up volume button fast enough itll continue to that but then die right away. And if i dont press volume up button it also dies right away.
Please help, with any suggestions.
Thank you.
It has nothing to do with a brick.
Your power button is probably damaged. You should replace it.

I activated art on my S5 and it restarted. When it was restarting it was saying optimizing apps. After that the phone turned off and now it doesnt even turn on. If i press the power button the phone will vibrate but doesn't turn on. I even tried a hard reset by holding the power button, up volume, and home button but nothing is working. Any body have any suggestions on how i can get it working again, at this point i dont even care about the data and apps on my phone I just want it working. Any help is appreciated.

Are you able to boot into the Download Mode? (Power + Home + Volume Down)
If so, try to reflash the stock firmware.
