Someone faced this also. Can you try this? Turn off phone, unplug battery for 2 minutes, place battery and boot.

I already did a factory reset but it still comes up in safe mode + the menu button at the front is not working. I'm trying the software update(repair) through PC companion now, but it's taking forever to finish.
Its been a couple of hours now and the pc companion phone software update is still not done processing. I don't have anything in my phone how come its taking so long? please help me.
I think I know the reason why
I think I found out what's causing my phone to be stuck in safemode. I did everything even the software update in pc companion but it's still stuck on safemode. I think I know why. my front menu button I think is stuck that's why no matter how much I reboot its still on safe mode because its like I'm still pressing it. does anyone know how to clean the back? Please tell me 'cause I don't know how...

Contact Cleaner
I fixed it a few weeks ago, figured all I needed was a contact cleaner, there was dust causing the front menu button to be stuck, that's why the phone thinks I want to go on safe mode because the menu button is being pressed. >_<
I wanted to post this so that if ever this happens to you don't freak out immediately and check if its clean before you restore factory settings or whatever.

i tried to install an update of ROM on my wildfire S..
during the setup it said there is connectivity problem.
the phone went off at that time.. after that it never went live again in any mode..
neither volume down + power worked.
i am very much beginner to android or htc. please help me with a full tutorial or
guide how to fix this.
here is the link to ROM update that i was trying to install
dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.01.573.2_us_cellular.exe
plz...
and one more thing. its orage lite on front screen starts flashing when i plug in the charger/data cable. i check the battery voltage, they're 4.02v, so i guess the battery is full charged. if i remove the battery and the reinstall it.. the orange lite doesn't blink unless i put the charger again.
i've gone through other threads that seems to have same problem but i could not understand much of the terms used in those.. so plz i need a detailed help
Can you feel 3/5/7 vibrates when holding power button?
What did you try to do actually?
It's a phone sync software and not a ROM update which you have mentioned.
It seems that there might be problem with your battery. Check it first.

Did you root phone earlier? or
Is your phone's Bootloader unlocked?
If your bootloader is unlocked and your device rooted, install CWM Recovery via ADB, then download your ROM as a ZIP and install using CWM.
If you're not unlocked/rooted, do that first, again via ADB.

i guess the phone it is now useless because another guys says that
"Its bricked if you cant boot to hboot with vol-d + pwr. Srry only way is to send to htc"
so i guess that's the end of it
today i pressed both vol + and down and pressed power button.. the phone gave 7 vibrations and its LED turned on.
what does that mean? is there way to fix it somehow?
Hello guys !
I have done something terrible and phone is not booting up part recovery now.
I had rooted the phone with one-click universal method without any hasstles and then try to reboot into bootloader by pressing VolDown+Power button.
Eventually ended up rebooting in original android recovery. I tried rebooting with option in that but it was not responding.
While trying it out, I mistakenly wiped cache partition.
Now NO MATTER WHAT COMBINATION I TRY, phone doesn't boot up past the recovery.
Please help me sort out this mess. I need to sell the phone.

If you don't mind maybe loosing data, LGNPST back to stock, and try again.

I posted this in the other thread you asked about this in, but here it is:
I wipe my cache partition all the time. I am rooted but still locked (I don't think that will last much longer). Anyways, in the android recovery with jelly bean, I found that you no longer use the power button for selecting or confirming. It's now done using the menu button below your screen (on the right) . At least that's how it works for my phone.
I hope this works for you.

Mate.. after getting the phone booted up I installed FreeGee app from Play store to get bootloader unlocked and flash recovery , but downloading recovery stopped due to an error. So I rebooted the phone and since then Wifi is not detecting my home wifi network.
I then tried to do erase cache partition and even factory reset but nothing helped.
Do u know what else I can do to get it right ?
Cheers !
I haven't fully unlocked my phone yet. Only rooted it. However it sounds like you might have to LGNPST to set things right. Maybe someone else that is more knowledgeable with this issue could chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that might be your only option.
Sorry I'm not of much help for you on this one.

Thanks mate.. will try this
OK.. mate I tried the LGNPST method. Downloaded LGNPST and stock v9 bin file. Used it to flash the stock rom back to stock.
howvere even after full completion of the process without any errors , the phone stucks at LG logo forever. I have tried the process twice.
Is there something I might have missed. I followed the instruction to the line from the pastebin link. Do we have a different Dll for the stock rom then whats there in the LGNPST repository named LS970_LGNPST.dll or something ?
Hopefully this will get you going.
If you downgraded from ZVB to ZV9 heres some needed info:
If you're stuck at the 4glte screen: To get to stock recovery - Power off phone. You need to hold power button for about 20 sec to get it to turn off. Then press and hold vol down+power - The LG logo will come on, then the capacitive lights. Immediatly let go when the capacitive lights turn on.
It takes a few seconds to work. Data wipe/Factory reset. Reboot.
And if you happen to reboot into recovery after this upgrade? Use the "menu" button on the led lights (far right when holding it) to get it to accept your commands. power button won't work.
---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------
If that doesn't work try this.
Get into DL mode and run "teeny bin" from the post I sent you to, to get LGNPST. Try the main one first, then the optional one if it still doesn't get you into TWRP. You just might have one of those "haunted phones" that seem to be poping up.

Thanks again mate.. I was able to install Teeny bin and then flashed a AOSP rom. Now I have my wifi working again without any issues.
Do u have a link of any stock based rooted deodexed rom for this ? I don't want to flash bin images via LGNPST but want the stock look and feel
Imperium and Lifeless are our only 2 stock ROMs so far. In the Development section. Both are very nice.

Okay, I've had my Xperia ion (at&t model) for a few weeks now. I decided to root it awhile ago and everything went well, no problems. I also flashed CWM and still found no problems with the phone. I didn't get the bootloader unlocked so I couldn't flash any ROMs. But my buddy wanted to use the phone so I factory reset it in CWM, and rebooted it. It wouldn't go past the sony sign so I did a soft reset and went back into CWM and set my phone down. My buddy thought he was doing me a favor and wiped everything for me because he knew I was having troubles. Including the system. Now I cannot get into CWM, the phone is either just a black screen with a red or green LED, or stuck on the sony screen. I can't really think of anything to do. Sony update service and sony companion both won't work. They have some sort of error when I try to use them. Oh, and the flashtool won't work remembering I can't get into fastboot. Can someone please tell me what to do? If I wasn't specific enough I will try and give you more details if possible. thanks in advance!!!

Who think he/she can help me?
I was trying to completely clean my DHD for my girlfriend. So I wiped is all off via all the information on this forum.
Tried to flash ROM, RUU, Bootloader and Kernel. (after some advices)
Now I have a big problem I think....
I cannot get into my bootloader anymore, my DHD is starting with HTC logo and then continues with Android startup and keep hanging in there.
Vol. down + Power is not getting me into bootloader.
Flashing from CMD does not seem to work either because I cannot get the DHD to connect via USB. (cable is connected to DHD and laptop)
If you can help me.... my girlfriend and I would be much gratefull.
Greetings,
Remco

what i know is accessed to the phone bootloader it just have two optional way..
first...with pressing and hole volume down+power
second..with adb command while the phone is already booting inside the rom..and off course with already enabling USB debugging too in system settings..
if both way doesn't work to access your bootloader...i think the last change is you must flashing it again the from beginning with RIFF BOX hardware and JTAG software if you have it..or take the phone to services center of HTC..
sorry...can't help more than this..

yap..RIFFBOX is a flashing hardware..
yes i know..if you already broken your phone cause of changing software by your self..htc will not recover your phone under they warranty
you already had loosing your phone warranty.. but i think that's not mean they can't help and fix your phone..off course without warranty (if they already know or detected that you already fault your warranty) then they will charge you with some of cost..
if so..with the hope of luck..then you can try brought your phone to the htc service center..then let they're analyst your phone and make decision about your valid warranty..who knows you already lucky then they don't know what are you already do it previously to that phone..
note : this all mean that's if your DHD is still recover under warranty by time..right..
hopefully your DHD will fixed soon..and good luck..
Hey..
I was trying this service that sony provides at myxperia.sonymobile.com
This helps users to locate, lock and erase their device from anywhere.
But when i tried to lock it i just heard the notification tone from my phone. Then when i was trying to turn on the screen it was not responding.
Then it started rebooting.
And till now its just stuck on the boot animation screen.
Dont know what went wrong.
I did try to flash it using flash tool. But even thats not happening.
When i try to flash it, it exits flashmode and turns on [boot animation].
I am flashing without wiping cache or data. [i need those]
Phone is not rooted.
So is there any method that will help?
WIll unlocking the Boot Loader help?
I am using :
Xperia M C1904
Firmware : 4.3 15.4.A.1.9
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks
