Please follow the steps below to be able to solve the problem
Soft Reset :
Remove the battery, then re-insert it.
Note: Soft resetting your phone deletes all unsaved data.
safe mode:
Press power key then press and hold the menu key
1. Press " power key " for power on device
2. Wait until "HTC logo" appears on screen
3. Press and hold " Volume down key " until entering OS
4. " Safe Mode " text will appears on the lower left of screen.
1.If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on.
2.Unlock your phone if the Lock screen is displayed. See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter.
3.Press and hold the POWER button, and then tap Restart.
4.When asked to confirm, tap Restart.
If you can’t restart the phone following the above steps, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, reinsert the battery, and then turn the phone on.
### END

Using the above procedure the DHD does NOT go into safe-mode. have you tested this ?

thats becuase we dont have a menu button.

Yes we have. Take a look at the button that says "Menu" on your device.

That is not actually a button its touch sensitive and that doesn't work when your booting

After many attempts I was able to run a safe mode
1: Turn on the phone power button
2: If you see the HTC logo on white background press and hold the "volume down" button
3: Still hold until the phone as vibrate
4: Release the button if you see in the bottom corner: Safe Mode
work on my phone and checked several times

how do you get off the safe mode????

this method is tried and tested. To get out of safe mode all you need to do is turn the phone off then back on in the normal way

[Q] help getting into download mode

Hey all,
I just bought a Note 2 N7100 for my husbands Bday gift and we are unable to get it into download mode to root it. We're no strangers to rooting but this one has us both stumped. After making sure usb debugging is enabled we power the phone off. Then pressing vol down & home & power but only get an android guy with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it. Any suggestions on what we may be missing or need to do?
Thanks.

It is recovery mode. If I press the home button I get the android recovery menu. No way to post a pic at the moment.

recovery - Vol up+ Home +power
Download mode - Vol down + home + power
If you are getting recovery menu by pressing vol down+home+power then you must have rule out device is not a replica. can you tell what you can see in recovery menu?

Try the volume up button + home + power instead. Or you can download the toolkit in the original android development tjread and have it do it for you.

[Q] Getting problems after failed flashing CMW

Hi everyone. As title, I tried flashing Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy W using Android Terminal Emulator...the flashing LOOKED successful so I tried rebooting into clockworkmod recovery. Here's where the problem starts :
- after the Samsung logo, the phone automatically goes into the page before download mode (the page with the "Warning!!" and a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark within it) regardless of what I press ... (pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home / Power Button + Volume Down + Home / Power Button alone also takes me to this page)
- Once at this page I have 2 choices : either press volume up or down... pressing Volume Up (which is stated as "Continue" freezes my phone)
Pressing Volume Down (which is stated as "Cancel (restart phone) ) will just make the phone reboot itself and then comes back to this screen
Is there any solution to this ?? as I dont thik I am able to enter Download mode since pressing volume up will just freeze up my phone

Can't even go to download mode when you switch your phone off and use the combination of power home and volume up?

pull your battery out.
insert again, go to download mode
and try to reflash CWM via odin, make sure you tick the "auto reboot" in odin.

What is the secret gesture to enter into Download/Recovery mode?

Hello,
Can someone give me the EXACT procedure to enter into Download and Recovery mode please?
If my tab (SM-T830) is switched off, and I switch it on by pressing Vol down + Power and I keep pressing both buttons, it will boot until the first splash screen (Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Powered by Android) then after this screen, it will reboot..
If I release buttons during this splash screen, it boots up normally
I already succeeded to enter to download or recovery modes before but I have no idea how. I guess I must release 1 or 2 button at the point but when ?
Thanks

Hello,
Hopefully this will be helpful, the following procedure worked for me:
make sure the tab is off
plug the USB cable in your tab (but not in your computer)
hold down both volume buttons together
plug the USB cable in your computer
then the tab start (you may release the buttons) with a menu allowing you to choose (Vol +/-) between download mode and reboot.

It works perfectly, thank! That's a weird way to go to DL mode but it works!
And once I'm already in DL (and flashed a tar with Odin), do you know how I can restart directly to Recovery mode without rebooting to system?

This is really late, but go to recovery and select download mode.
Power off
Hold down all three buttons (power, vol down, vol up)
Once it vibrates let go of power and vol down, continue to hold vol up. Never fails.

Did this several times exactly the same way it's described and it fails every single time. Other way worked perfectly and easily on my first try.
