I suddenly got this pop-up (see the attached screenshot )
It says, would you like to boot into safe mode?
At first I thought it is some random ads but for sale of safety I cancelled.
Please reply is this possible to boot into safe mode or it is just a gimmick.

This is no gimmick, you can actually boot into safe mode. Long press power button and than long press power off. You will find this option

Yesterday i bricked my phone about 10-18 times. In the process, all of a sudden my phone would not go into download mode! I started playing around with the buttons. Long story short, THERE IS A DIFFERENT Button COMBINATION TO THE ONE EVERY THREAD TALKS ABOUT... the conventional volume up+volume down+ power button and you hold them for 3-5 seconds and blah blah blah....
Plain and simple, IDK if it works and ALL phones, someone with the newer batch of phones please try this, tried both of these methods after a BATTERY PULL with the phones still turned off!
DOWNLOAD MODE
VOLUME UP+ Power button Takes you straight to download mode!
RECOVERY MODE
VOLUME DOWN+Power button, When the screen comes on, count to 2, let go of the power button but still hold the VOLUME DOWN button until you find yourself in recovery mode.
Im not sure if this is the right section... mods, feel free to move to right section.. im a noob, sorry..
IM PROUD TO SAY THAT AFTER SO MANY BRICKS, I MANAGED TO FINALLY GET MY PHONE TO RUN AT 1.54 GHZ!!!! THIS THING IS A MONSTER!!!! BENCHMARKS OF 2900-3100!!
Apparently you are having gingerbread bootloader. This is already known as mentioned in gb bootloader thread.
ummmmm lol
this has also been known to work with stock as well
good find again there are about 6 ways to get to dl mode

sorry couldnt resist, I know your not a noob
I had a hard time getting to download mode before but after reading somewhere on here I learned that this trick always work.
a) take out your battery
b) plug usb in
c) hold both volume up and down
d) put your battery back in while still holding volume up and down
BAM!!! You're in download mode.

Lolz I thought it was another tutorial video that shows you how to reboot so I ignored it the first time. But nice find dude! That video is funny!
Hello All,
Had to send my A500 back to Acer after it failed; since they returned I have not been able to use Power + Vol Up to get into APX mode... any ideas on how to get this to work again?
The way that I get into APX mode is to press and hold the reset button then press and hold the power button (don't let up on the reset button yet) for three seconds, release the power button, then after one second more release the reset button. The timing is a little touchy, so really, 3 seconds on power and one more on the reset... You probably already know this but the screen will be black, the power button will be lit and unless you are hooked to a pc there really isn't anything going on that makes you think that something meaningful has happened...
One other thing. I think that the power/vol+ combo starts a install of update.zip if it exists. Power/vol- boots into recovery.

Did you mean you cannot get into the recovery?
If you sent it to Acer you probably have to re root it.
As stated above....apex mode is achieved with reset and power button from powered off state.
Hi CyaN1de,
I typed that wrong... I did mean APX mode...

I have tried this method several dozen times with no luck... STUPID ME... I have always had the power cable plugged in while doing this... NO WONDER IT DID NOT WORK.
Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it... and I am very sorry for wasting your time :-(

Uhm, not a waste of time. You are very welcome. If it helped at all it has been my pleasure.
Check this out.. I have never seen this before or found anyone report it or talk about it.
If you, no matter where you are at on your Note 4, even works in Download mode, if you hold down the power button and the volume down button and keep it there, your phone will reboot, keep holding it until you see this new screen I have never seen before.
It's called the Maintenance Boot Menu !!
You can boot into Safe mode and factory reset, etc.. It is Not the recovery menu or obviously download mode..
Cool huh ??
Wonder if there is anything we can gain from this ??
Interesting

does it let you wipe cache

Not that I could find. If you hold volume up button, power, and home button it will take you to factory recovery where you can wipe cache.
I also noticed that if you hold the return/back button, you basically get the edge's side curve without the curve xD I'm sure people knew this already, but I found out by accident last night haha
That feature might be bad if the device gets stolen though x:
Edit: is just shortcuts though d:
Safe mode basically disables all installed apps so if you are having a problem you can determine if it something you installed or not.

Hey, that's how we all learn my friend...
I could do it and try to figure it out but to save a needless reboot...I did what's quoted below a couple times to clean the cache. I am wondering what the OP's thing is besides less of what's below? I think I did the OP's thing once when I forgot the home button in the process below and I think all I saw was no clear cache option but most of the rest of what's below.

Had my phone in my pocket pulled it out and I was in this mode. I tried for days to duplicate it and didn't know how haha. Wanted to tell everyone about it
This menu is actually quite cool and fully functional as far as I can see..Hold home button automatically enters recovery TWRP 2.8.4.0.

Thanks for reply, and sorry for late response from me.
I try this but somehow I don't start safe mode.
Can you explain me a little more "step-by-step" to se when I go wrong.
Please.
P.S.: I hope that is wasn't april fools solution
Sure sorry for explaining so bad
When you boot up your device double tap the home button, let me know if it works! :good:

I'm so so so sorry for late reply. I'm totally forgot for this post.
Phone OS was crash down so much that even mobile operator service couldn't repair him.
After couple angry discussions with them, they give me LG Spirit G4 for replace.
So we still don't know if you method works.
Again sorry for late reply.
I think that this was the biggest late reply in history

No problem
So, my wife sadly dropped my new Moto X Pure before I ever even got to see it, and shattered the screen. Display comes on fine but touchscreen is nonresponsive.
Other than just waiting for the battery to die, is there a way to turn the phone off while awaiting my new screen from China?
Nothing else you can really do .. Just wait a few days & let it die ..
On the 3rd or 4th day if you want, you can charge it while it's turned off, while your waiting!
Hold power button....

If I hold it down long enough it eventually reboots, but doesn't actually shut down. If I get it to reboot, can I get from there into download or recovery mode, and can I get from there to shut down without using the touchscreen?
adb shell halt?
I guess I will need to experiment to see if I can get to download mode without starting from "shut down", but from the middle of a reboot.

Hold Power + Vol Down. for a long time. It'll boot to bootloader. There is a "Power Off" option you can scroll to with vol keys.
Sure she wasn't mad because you bought a new phone and slammed it down on purpose?

If so she put on a pretty good act because she was very very apologetic even though I told her it was no big deal. In fact she just saw your post and was a little insulted.:laugh:
