I turned my Hero on today and its in safe mode. I can't access all of my apps from safe mode unless they were already on my home pages. I have tried rebooting my phone but it starts up again in safe mode. How do I get my phone back to normal? For reference I'm using an un-Rooted Hero with stock 2.1.

I turned my phone off like normal last night. The phone is rooted with 2.2. I have anti virus etc on it to make sure i dont do anything nasty to it. I went to turn it on this morning and it got into a loop when it got into the main screen it got to a loop where it loads up all services and then vibrates and retries to start all services.
I shut it off and have rebooted it and same thing continues to happen. I cannot get into the apps screen to reset the phone and when I try to reinstall the root pkgs in the recovery screen i Get a red message saying cannot find update.zip or whatever the extension name is. I am not sure what to do here. I Keep pulling the battery out and resetting it but same thing is happening its booting up but keeps looping in the main screen.
1.not a dev subject.
2.let us know what rom. What you have installed latley and what kernel. Ect...

you must have installed the wrong modem or kernel.
Hi,
I was wanting to perform a nandroid backup of my phone so that i can upgrade to the latest baseband as I don't really want to wait for it to be released in the uk.
So I turned the phone off and then powered the phone back on. I have read through this forum and on google and found I need to press The power button and volume down until android appeared. So...
The first time I did this the first screen I got to was the updating screen. I let go before the screen appeared as my htc hero (phone before my O2X) booted straight into recovery mode after holding for a second or two. I had to pull the battery and let the phone reboot.
The second time I did it I got to a box with an arrow pointing out of with the android outside of it so I let go again. This time it has wiped the phone back to factory defaults.
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong please. Obviously the nandroid backup is useless now I have nothing to backup but I'd still like to know for the future.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction

If entering recovery reset your phone you didn't install clockworkmod recovery. Install CWM from a thread in the O2X development forum or download ROM Manager from Market
Oooooo that makes me feel like a right n00b.... cheers for that. Do i need root access for cwm?
If i was to get rom manager does that do the same job as cwm to get into recovery mode??
thank you so much for your help!!

Yes you need root, if you use the one from my thread, it gains a root shell to flash it, but doesn't perm root the phone.
Use SuperOneClick if you want proper root.
Cheers for that rusty. I might just perm root it tbh then i can also do a titanium backup and use that. When you say it needs root to flash, does Cwm flash something onto the phone to make the phone enter recovery? If it does, what does it flash?
Thanks again!!

It flashes itself so you can boot into it.
You can use ROM Manger to boot into it, vol- & power, reboot apps from the Market etc
I just got a samsung galaxy SII epic touch. like an idiot I went to this forum to try to root it. Now I can't get back to the hboot menu. It just sais that it is downloading and hangs. How can I undo this??? Since then I have rooted the phone. Please help!
Try installing a rom using odin..guess an official rom will be good..this shud work if the phone can go into download mode..

I wish I could but I cannot get to hboot. Every time I try to get to the boot menu it goes into the download kernal mode which does nothing.

So I cannot flash any roms

But if it goes into download mode, install odin on you computer and you should be able to see your phone?
then you install a rom for your phone trough Odin, i notice that you say you got an SGS II this for instanse is the forum for SGS 1
no hboot
ok. but if I do this will it only root my phone? I have already done that. what I need is to stop the phone from going into this download mode instead of going to the hboot. Now I have a rooted phone that will not go into hboot mode. Is there some sort of startup folder that puts me into this mode? Is there a file that I can delete so I can get into hboot when I reboot?
About a few months ago i rooted my captivate and installed the cyanogen mod and ics with cwm recovery... at first everything was fine my phone was moving a lot faster and i liked the new look and feel to it. But recently all hell broke loose unfortunately... probably for two weeks i kept recieving a notification saying " low on space" so i started to uninstall some apps and rebooted my phone and it went away but it came back like days later. So today i did the same thing but went into my file management and deleted some useless files that i didnt really need (such as pictures and etc). Then i rebooted my phone once again and this time it got stuck on the ics animation screen where it shows those colorful tiles all over the screen but it won't boot at all i took the battery out and everything but nothing. I thought draining my battery would work but it didnt. So ultimately my question is is it possible to flash back to the stock and restart the whole process? Or do i just do a factory reset on my phone? Confused and angry cause ive had problems with this phone before i rooted it PLEASE HELP!!!

If you can get in download mode, you could flash back to stock KK4.
From there, if you wanted you could get the Corn kernel and flash it through Odin 1.85 and finally flash the ROM you want to use (ICS/ or JB)
Do you have the links for them??
Here is Stock KK4 with or without bootloaders...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912

whats the one with bootloaders??
In order to run a GB firmware/rom, u need the i897 gb bootloaders. They are backwards compatible and once u flash them there is no need to flash bootloaders again. If u need to flash back to stock again, use the kk4 without bootloaders.
Be sure to use a reliable micro usb/usb cable, have a constant power source, etc., because u don't want to lose connection while flashin the bootloaders...that's where the potential for a hard brick is (bad bootloader flash...mix matched bootloaders...).

Ok so basically flash back to stock without bootloaders then after that flash the ics again? i believe i flashed bootloaders the first time
And do i do a factory reset before i start?
If u have never flashed the i897 gb bootloaders then u will need them. Those kk4 one clicks will do a full wipe...so back up ur apps and whatever else u want.
Odin or Heimdall Stock KK4. Odin KK4 Corn Kernel. It includes cwm. From there u can flash ur dev rom of choice...same as what BWolf56 had suggested.

ok i gotcha but the weird thing is right now it wont let me go into download mode im holding both the volume buttons but it only takes me to cwm recovery mode :/
Download is with phone powered off, hold volume down and up and plug in micro usb, having already opened Odin or Heimdall and with the usb end of the cable already plugged into pc.

Im just laughing at myself right now cause i went into recovery mode and reinstalled the ics zip and it came back again lmao it booted up it didnt say cyanogen mod on it just google guess i gotta reinstall that too
Tried installing the OTA without thinking first. The rom i was running was digital dream vzw debloat. amazing rom btw. ANYWAY, now im stuck in recovery mode and no matter what i do, nothing makes a difference. i tried restoring my original rooted stock software, i tried flashing the old digital dream rom, all the while being completely unable to get into download mode. then i read that if you format you have a better chance to get into DL mode. this did not solve my problem. so im left with twrp recovery 2.6.3.3.. anyone have any suggestions? My next solution is to run the phone over and claim it on insurance LoL!

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
