Is there something like SAFE MODE in wildfire. I think i have seen it once or a couple of times while i was using it with official eclair. It entered accidentally by key presses while restart (i expect). Don't even know the key combinations now. I do remember, there was a transparent SAFE MODE text logo at the left bottom corner of the screen. Is it true or am i dreaming.....
And if it is there, what it is for. Is it just like the WINDOWS SAFE MODE (just opening the system programs) ..?
Never heard of something like this. All I know is of a Recovery Mode. :/
There is actually.. When you start the phone, just when it says Quietly Brilliant, press the Silver Circle at the bottom.. Keep it pressed till phone boots into Safe Mode.. Useful for uninstalling third party software...

I cant believe this feature is not more publicized. Will take a look if I go back to stock.

yes there it is. I rechecked it again and it is there. The way to get into it is, we should press and hold the trackpad only when it shows the HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT LOGO. We should hold the trackpad untill a long vibration occurs and there it goes into safe mode. [And if we hold the trackpad before the quietly brilliant logo, it wont go to the safe mode]. And yes, there will be a transparent SAFE MODE logo on the left bottom corner of the screen. This is confirmed in stock roms.
And yes this safe mode is similar to the windows safe mode. So, there lies the solution to diagnose most of the software problems. I wonder why this is not highlighted yet.
Thanks a lot lol.....

Hi,
I have recently installed a new ROM and then used a mod which doesn't seem to be compatible as now the phone is stuck in a loop. When the phone turns on, it comes up with the HTC-Quietly Brilliant screen then continues to the HTC One (with beats audio at the bottom) screen. It won't move past this. I have tried to get into recovery using the vol down+power button but it just repeats the above. I don't think there was a huge amount of battery (maybe around 40%) which I have read can be a problem.
What can I do to get the phone to boot? I currently have the phone on charge on the HTC One screen in an attempt to get it to work as I cannot do it when turned off however if I take the cable out, the red light stays on making me think it isn't actually charging. Any advice you guys can give would be great. I think if I can get into CWM I'll be ok
Cheers
press the volume down + power for 10 secs, and keep them pressed while it reboots untill you get to the hboot menu
Thanks. I was trying to do that but obviously let go before the 10 seconds. It did it once earlier on but couldn't replicate it. Many thanks-phone is now ok again
Cheers
Can't get past fastboot
ignore me
Try holding down volume down, then while holding it down, hold down the power button for 7 seconds until it turns off, it should then restart into hboot. I had to do it twice in a row to make it work.

Yeah it can be a bit fiddly at times. Grrr
Hi All,
Please help me if you can with the problem I am now experiencing
HTC One X is my first android phone, i have had it for about 3 months. It has been brilliant ever since i had it
However last night I installed the Amazon APP Store as its now available in the UK. Ever Since my phone has gone absolutely haywire
Its a real stuggle to get it on, if you hold down Power it vibrates and the 3 lights flash a few times, then nothing. Sometimes it comes on! Then when its on its DEAD slow, like really really slow, also after a minute or so the resolution changes and things are all in the wrong place; then the touchscreen doesnt respond, so i turn it off and the cycle continues
I have managed to get back on it, and to get rid of the Amazon App store but I am still facing the same difficulities.
My HTC One X is UK version and is on stock ICM.
Do you have any ideas how I can return it to working order?
Also: DAMN YOU AMAZON
EDIT: BTW, when i press power, the lights at the bottom are on, and i can hear the volume sound change, but no screen. I am trying to factory reset but cant get the phone working long enough to find it
If you press and hold power button + volume down at the same time the phone will boot into Bootloader. From there you can do a factory reset. Navigate with volume keys to Hboot and use power button as confirm. There should be an option there for factory reset..

Unfortunately i cannot get the PC to look for it, and i cant get into the thing where you hold down power and down arrow
I think the screen has totally given up, which i dont understand; this was always a software issue
Install a RUU matching your device and then see what happens. If that doesn't solve it, then MAYBE hardware issue.
Hi there its really hard for me to explain but ill post a pic of what I need help with.... Help now would be better.... How do i get my phone to start up and work again? it wont reboot... It just gets stuck at HTC screen... It wont factory reset, or recover anything.....

Regards

OK so my friend tried to unlock my phone but in the middle of the process the internet got cut and ever since then my phone wont turn on all it will do is go to the HTC white screen and stay there until i hold the power key and the volume down button down then it brings up that page i posted with my original question.... I have tried downloading a bunch of the links off this site but none seem to be the full ones.. or something because it wont let me do anything.... It also wont connect to my computer I have updated drivers and everything but i have the memory card that im going through...
What tool / method did your friend try to use when the internet got cut off?
When it goes to the white screen does it vibrate, how many times does it vibrate?
Edit: as bixscotte said, don't post in multiple threads. Not only does it lead to confusion, it's frowned upon.

I didnt realize the first one posted... So that's why there is 2 posts... Im new to this site and I still need to learn how to use it... So as soon as i figure out how to delete the other add i will. When just pushing the power button it vibrates once and turns on right away to the white screen with green htc Writing....
First we need to make sure your computer recognizes your cell phone.
Search for the fastboot commands to check if there is connectivity.
If not, delete the htc drivers, reboot, install the drivers again or just download the standalone adb drivers which ought to be roaming around xda somewhere.

It meana you have custom recovery installed but because your bootloader relocked, you cannot mount any partition for flashing custom rom.

Hi
My Nexus 7 recently ran out of battery and as per usual, died.
When i plugged it into the charger, I thought it would charge and be ready to use again.
After several hours, nothing happened. No display saying it was charging, nada.
I then went to power it up into recovery mode, by holding down power button and volume down.
This then seemed to 'reboot' the system and I now see a droid with a red triangle and the words 'No command'
Having a look around online, people have suggested holding down power button and volume up.
Whenever I do this, the screen goes blank, the Google logo appears then the same droid with a red triangle appears.
I cannot seem to get past this step.
Has anyone come across this before and if so, how I do I get past this and actually use my Nexus?
Thanks

It's a little tricky actually. You shouldn't have to hold the power + vol up buttons for very long. The most important thing is that you have to make sure you push them at the EXACT same time. I kind of figured this one out on my own when I was having issues flashing a custom recovery.

When I press them at the same time, the only thing that happens is the screen goes slightly darker (i.e the icon becomes less visible)
I've pressed the buttons together so many times and nothing happens.
I tried to get back into recovery mode using a bootloader from androidrootz.com. I managed to get back to the step where i can select 'Start, Recovery Mode, Power Off' etc I ran 'Recovery Mode', which then rebooted and I go the same icon. I can't seem to run the program again though, so I'm still stuck with the lying down droid

Were you completely stock when this all happened? What bootloader from androidrootz.com? If you can flash a bootloader, why not flash the factory image?
Sorry, charesa39. Just as you'd posted (I'd posted same ). I'll just add it can be tricky. Maybe try power first then continue holding while hitting vol +. You do this when you're at the fallen Andy screen.

I also had some problems to access recovery. Finally it worked after many tries. So far i remember you have to press the buttons not too short and not too long ;D... perhaps 3-4 seconds. Then Release one of the buttons and the second one half a second later. I don't remember which button i released first, but there are only to possibilities. Hope this helps... in my case the recovery appeared.
So I rooted my Lg G2 just fine, I've done jailbreaks and such in the past and consider myself tech savvy. However after trying to install a custom ROM on my phone, I got these white lines to where I couldn't see my screen. I found a fix for it and tried to conquer that myself as well. As I proceeded to flash a jdi kernel onto my G2 to get rid of the white lines and lack of display, I got an error and put myself into a boot problem. When I turn my phone on, I get a secure booting error everytime and my screen goes black. I have tried countless times to use the hard reset feature but I cannot get the it to come up with pressing with volume down and power buttons. I can't get into download mode either. My screen goes black within seconds and just sits there. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.
Please.
I really need any sort of help or direction. I've tried everything I can think of.
How did you try to go into download mode?

Greetings, here's what I did, I booted my phone into download mode by pressing and holding the volume up button, and quickly plugging the usb cable into my phone(make sure it's connected to the computer), wait until the device is charged at 100%(you will know it's fully charged when you see something like this "B100", turn off your phone and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time until you see the LG Logo, once you've seen the LG Logo, QUICKLY press and hold the power button and the volume down button at the same time adain, and you should boot into recovery mode.[emoji4]
If you made a backup of your previous Rom, you can now restore it.[emoji106]
