Hello Friends
Ive got an issue and couldnt find a solution .. My S5 is stuck in Safe Mode.
I already tried to Flash a new Rom, wipe evereything and tried to get out of it. None of it worked and Im not sure what to do..
I read something about a button..? and something else causing the device to boot up in Safe Mode but Im not sure ..
It all happened after I replaced the camera of my S5 because the original one was shattered .. Hope anyone can help ..

Hi,
Maybe you broke something while replace the camera. Does you "volume down" button work?
By the way, I found one thing on other forums which worked for some people:
"turn power off. Then push power button and volume 'up' button at the same time, until the phone starts up again"
Did you try this already?

Unfortunately it looks like hardware problem. Did you replace the camera by your own? Maybe you broke something by accident ....

Power off the phone and then power it ON by pressing Power button while holding Home button.
If you get into the download mode it will mean Vol- button problem.
It can be solved by replacing middle flame. Will cost you $12-15 if you do it yourself. You know what to do if you've replaced the camera.

The middle flame means the recent-apps and back button part?

No, it's virtually all grey and silver plastic you see.
Middle frame (example).
P.S. Samsung calls this part "rear case", but it's sold on ebay as "middle frame" or "back housing" or "bezel" (use these words for search).

Thank you very much again.
But does this means something there is broken or anything like that ? I am sure I didnt broke anything there.
The buttons themselves are inside this plastic.
I don't think you've broken something but nohing is eternal.
Look, for Vol+ and Vol- buttons to work, three "golden" connectors on main logic board (photo 1) should connect three lower connectors on bezel flex cable (photo 2) and three upper connectors on bezel flex cable should connect three connectors on middle frame (photo 3).
If you've replaced the camera then you know how to disassemble the phone and can check yourself what is out of order in this part of the device.

Hi All
My power button on my phone is stuck down, It not longer sticks out. I can still get it to work if i push it down with the stylus.
I stuck a pin down each side of the button to ensure the button was not wedged under any part of the case but this has not resolved the issue.
Im not sure what to do and it is starting to become annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did they fix it?
Thanks
Fixed
My button is fixed. No idea how. I just pulled it out of my pocket and went to press the button and it was back to its old self again.
So if anyone has a broken button in the future, just give it a day or two and it will probably fix itself
Thanks All

You are exactly lucky.....the power button on my device has not been working for more than half of a year and I have to use a programs to soft rest or hard rest my device. The only problem is that I can't flash the rom without the power button if I'd like to.....
i'm sure this has been done to death, but, through my searching, i haven't found an actual concrete solution.
i purchased a g1, knowing that it was stuck at the rainbow screen. i thought it'd be an easy fix, but, in my case, it seems not. i'm a uk user, so have flashed the rc7 update, and NOT the 29 one. yes, i pressed the camera button, and THEN the power button, whilst the g1 was turned off. once successfully flashed/completed, i press the 'action'/trackball key, take the battery out, and turn the phone on, only to see that the rainbow screen is STILL there.
what you might need to know:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.29
Sep 2 2008
Serial0
so, if anyone has a full-proof solution that will get my g1 working again, i'll be extremely grateful. if not, i'll put it on e-bay. is it possible that my g1 is permanently bricked?
How about NOT pressing the trackball?
However note that pressing the trackball during bootup SHOULD put the thing into BLUELIGHT mode (debug console).
Typically, if it turns on straight into the bootloader, it means that your CAMERA or BACK button is stuck. Try pressing each of those buttons a few times and then turning it on again. If not, you may need to disassemble.
but, i mean, once the phone says Update Complete
UPDATE SUCCESS,press action (trackball) key,that's when i press the trackball key, as it tells me to. the camera and back buttons certainly don't feel stuck, ...

He is right, if it boots into bootloader (rainbow screen) that means your camera button is stuck, even if it doesn't feel like it.
i just took apart my htc dream... im experience a similar problem.... i measure the ohms on the switch for the camera button, open, it shows about half contiunity on my multimeter(analog), and when the button is pressed, it registers a full short, as it should, on both sides of the switch. I will try unsoldering the camera button at some point tomorrow, and will try to post my results.
does anyone know if those switches are meant to be completely open when not pressed??
EDIT: will be heading out to my job in the next hour to use the hot air station to remove the camera button, and clean up the contacts on the board... if this doesnt work, does anyone else have any other ideas??

ok, so i just unsoldered the camera button off the main board, and it still comes up to the bootloader.... what next?? ive flashed the dreaimg.nbh file, and wiped the phone. i can press the home and pwr button and get the recovery menu, but even there, flashing anything *.zip doesnt make a difference... ideas now??
EDIT:So i just got another g1 with a cracked screen... i switched out the mainboard. with a different mainboard that worked from a different phone, it still came up to the bootloader screen... i then switched the buttons, not the camera button, ironically, the other buttons.. i switched the whole front plate(send, home, back, end, menu buttons/trackball panel). now the original mainboard works fine... just no camera button cuz my hot air station at work killed the button. try that and let us know here. see if that works for you....
EDIT2: Heres a thread that i just opened with that last explaination, as well as a story to how my day preceded with this phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781143 enjoy!

yes unfortunately.........its better bein safe than sorry lol.........i took mine apart around 2 months ago,due to abit of the same prob,my power button wouldn't work all the time or i had to press it down quite hard and i wanted to check my battery pins also. the hardest part is getting hold of the right size screwdriver to undo the phone lol............the rest is easy........if u do take it apart,whilst your there,it wouldn't do any harm to check the pins that connect to your battery,checkin they're not bent or dirty,cos that is why people have a battery drain lol and then they go to all these places to find solutions,task killers etc,when most of the time,the problem is right infront of them.........
HOPE THIS HELPS.............FEEL FREE TO HIT THANKS

how do i clean it? vaccum cleaner or air blower?
since yesterday, i have this nasty problem with my touchscreen. when i press the power button to wake the phone, or to get into the power-menu, the touchscreen stops working. this does no happen if i press any other button.
sometimes, i can use the phone again if i wait until the screen turns off and then wake it up by pressing any other button, but most of the time i need to pull out the battery and restart the phone. even when i pull out the battery, the screen won't work sometimes, and i have to restart the phone again.
when i first experienced this problem, i was using the nexushd2 v2.0 rom, i then updated to the v2.1, which didn't help. i tried reinstalling the rom, wiping the /data/ , the cache and the dalvik cache (multiple times) and eventually changed to the typhoon cm7 rom (with repartitioning and reinstalling the magldr), the problem is still there.
the phone did never get wet, fall down, or anything the like. pulling out the sd card makes no difference.
i hope someone can help me there
May be it´s a hardware problem, some HD2 have it.
You can test it, if you go back to windows.
its the good old digitizer its right under the power button press the end button hard and it should work again but if you press it again it will corrupt use softkey or remap your hardware buttons

@OP, in future please use the search button before posting. There are far too many threads in this forum with exactly the same issue as Kamerius has just proved, so why couldn't you save both us and yourself some time and search first? Anyway, what you have is a digitizer issue, but a quick temporary solution is to simply press as hard as you physically can on the end call/power button. The screen should work after that. Use a button remapper or some sort of widget to enable you to use the phone without ever touching the end call button, and make sure to use other buttons to wake the screen.

i have the same problem with the endkey but with the rom in my sig
it actually has a softkey button that can be setup with a power softkey ..longpress on the softkey and it pulls up the power menu
just like it would do if you used the hardware power button
Yeah I thought there were softkey power buttons but I wasn't sure and I'm on my phone so couldn't be arsed to search

I am facing the same issue except no matter how hard I press the red button....LCD doesn't works. I have even replaced the thin metal strip which rests under hardware buttons.
Anyone?
Exactly, the same issue started to happen yesterday!!!

I have successfully replaced the screen on the HTC HD2 Leo, but after assembling the phone the volume button is not working. I am not sure if there can be something missing as I cannot feel the 'click' when it's pushed. (not sure if it was there before though)
As far as I remember the volume button consist of two parts: the printed circuit and the plastic button. Or is there maybe something that needs to be connected that I have missed?
Thanks for any hints

dismantle it again, it can be the plastic button its self, it acts like a spring under its own tension, when I re built mine the first time the lower button had stopped worked well, and it was simple because I hadn't put it back right, it was, and it looked right, but it wasn't quite right
I would a agree with dazza9075. Sometimes when putting the phone back together it may look right but sometimes its not. If i remember correctly there is a little spot it fits right into but you need to make sure it goes in in just the right way,
both on the top and the bottom. There is a complete how to guide to replace the lcd screen on the HD2. If i find it I will post the link. It may clear up just how you need to place the vol button back in place. Worse case you can always find a
cheap volume button for only a few dollars on ebay to see if maybe you broke this one when trying to replace the screen.
Hi, I did not manage to fix the button, but managed to get by without it.Till now. I was looking in google for a solution and found my own tread from ages ago...
Now, I would need to put the button together again. I looked into it and I guess I am missing a piece that the plastic button is supposed to be pushing. Before I order something, can anyone please confirm and possibly post a picture of what the button it should look like under the plastic part. Also if you know what the part I need is called, please let know. Please see below how my button "circuit" looks like.
Many thanks for any help

Thanks for your response. I could not find the buttons separately and have therefore ordered the button ribbon for the 5 hw keys for under $3, which hopefully will be possible to dissemble and transfer. I would rather not buy the whole flex cable, where's the button is attached to, as this is quite expensive $20+.
I let you know if I was lucky. If you know where I can buy only the small pieces I am missing, please let me know.
A pic of what I ordered is attached fyi
i can confirm that you can use buttons from that tape, I've had the same situation, just pick up the circle button and add it to volume tape.
Mine was damaged during assembly, you have to be very carefoul
You can actually do lcd & digi removal & refit without need to remove flex ribbon completely thus keep the volume button & cables running to mainboard all in place and those small button caps are safe still wrapped in original tape & it all goes back together factory style ...
