So you've tried wiping and reflashing? Which version?

We here at XDA are pretty intelligent, but a far cry from "all-knowing"...so we need info about your device before anyone can diagnose a problem...otherwise we just hafta guess...its helpful if you include this info in your sig (you can do this by clicking "userCP" at the top left of the forum and click "edit signature" on the lefthand side...), as seen in mine:
Device
ROM
Recovery
SPL
Any theme you may be running
anything else you use that you think may be useful in diagnosing problems.
This way we can help you out faster, and without you having to retype this info everytime you post a question...please list these data for us and describe in as much detail as you can what the problem is and how (or how you THINK) it came about. Well try to help you out to the best of our abilities, have you tried doing a SEARCH to see if someone else has already had this problem? it could be the answer you're looking for...

[Q] How do I start Galaxy S in safe mode?

Hi,
my Galaxy S GT-i9000 got into force close loop and I am now stuck after Android boot. Before performing a hard reset (and spending a week setting up the phone and apps again) I would like to try with safe mode: unfortunately I was so far unable to find how to get into safe mode on it.
Anybody could help? Thank you.

I don't remember there being a Safe Mode. Although you can go to Download Mode and flash a new firmware. It should fix the problem you're having.

There is a safe mode. I've unintentionally ended up in it a few times. I have no clue how to get there willingly though.
Edit: That was easy... Just power on the phone while holding the menu button, just as on a bunch of other android phones.

Thanks for the suggestion. With menu button you mean the left-most one, right? I tried this already and seemed to have no effect. I will try again a few times.

Thank you. I already checked I can get to the recovery mode menu, but I understand this would reset everything on the phone, including personal settings and third party apps. I am looking for a way to avoid this, if at all possible: all I need to do is uninstall a looping application.
BB

Ok I found it. For some reason on my Galaxy safe mode is entered by pressing
Menu+Home+Power On
Thank you everybody for your help, the phone is in good shape again now.

Perhaps they've changed it in newer firmware. I hope so, it annoys me when I end up there unintentionally.

can you post your model number according to the sticker in the battery compartment?
it's weird that it uses Menu + Home + Power

Model: GT-i9000

Is this what you were interested in?

can some one try these buttons and see if it works?
i read on another topic and some people were able to get in
but i still can't get it to go into Safe Mode

I tried and no luck
i have a 3 button disabled phone

Seems random to me... Sometimes I get safe mode by doing a jig and perform some weird wicca rituals.

Today i restartet my SGS and on the reboot i swyped the Display over my T-Shirt to clean the screen. Even before the Pin-Input showed up, in the left bottom corner i had "safe mode" written. As my intention was not to go into this mode i restartet again.
After this, my widgets didn´t work anymore, so i had to take them of the screen and put them again. And all my well sortet apps in the menu are now unsorted.
But no big deal.

Finally i found out how to go into the Safe-Mode every time you need.
As soon as you start your SGS you have to press for a half a second constantly the left Softkey, meaning don´t have it pressed all the time, but touching it every half a second. When coming to the Pin-Input you cann stop it and you will see on the left bottom corner Safe-Mode!
Very usefull if a third-party Launcher or Widget makes some trouble.

i tried it, it didn't work
Which firmware are you on?

Really? tried it 3 times now and every time i was able to get in. I´m on 2.1 I9000XXJF5
You have to touch the button as soon as the screen shows the Samsung Logo, even when the Softkey only will light up 2-3 seconds after the Power on!
I´ve taken a photo. As my Phone is in german it shows not Safe mode but sichere Modus. But it is the same.

it might be another key for the JH2 ROM
i'll see if i can figure it out, but so far the few methods we've figured out doesn't work on the JH2

Ok thanks for testing. Maybe its like the Recovery mode that doesn´t work on some devices without patching.

i'm hoping that is not the case, but it might be true

weird message on recovery screen xcyalsa?

Hi, the image attached shows a strange message that flashes on the screen for a millisecond when booting into recovery, is this normal?
SpeedMod (latest)
Cheers

So... 64 people viewed this and not one of you has seen it, or can recreate it.
Hmmm strange

Does that only happen in recovery?

does the phone work as normal ?? have you tried re flashing the rom or kernel that your running.
if its not making the phone act weird i wouldnt do anything about it,, may just be a bug.

I was thinking that exact thought as well. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Mind you that is a weird message. I know when I was playing in cm7 I would get the "kanged" message to indicate it's a test release. But that x.... Message is a real hum dinger
I alsi noticed you have the extra "GT-I9000" popup covering the samsung logo.

Last time I flashed bigmem speedmod I had a graphical blur where your message is displayed. Changed to non big mem and all was well. Happened booting into recovery and normal reboot.

Sorry for the lack of reply, didn't link for updates
The message appears on all reboots, it flashes up just before the standard Samsung Galaxy S screen appears
Yes the phone is working as normal, it just concerns me that 'something' is in there and if so, then my mind figures potential for virus?
Like other I flash and flash with little regards for just what could be in the data, I am trusting the originators a lot here, this is too easy for some 'insert your own obscenity' to place destructive code in there.
Thank you all for the replies, with such a specific name I hoped someone had come across the owner.
Maybe I left the phone out and some 'tard' graffiti tagged it LoL

Thats is down to timing, the 'name' appears so quick, by the time I hit the button, it was also displaying the next frame containing the normal logos

I'm not sure if you guys noticed it, but what you see on the screen is actually "GALAXY S" which wraps after the second A. It seems like you're having the normal "GALAXY S" message and a zoomed in version of it at the same time on the screen. The same goes for "GT-I9000" on the bottom.

Came across a new problem I can't find anywhere else.

I've recently come across a new issue on my T-mobile Galaxy Note 4 that I haven't seen before. I've been searching online as well and can't seem to find anyone else posting about this problem either. I'm not the best but I have some experience. I've recently rooted and flashed tekxodus hybrid n4 5 1 1 rom on my note 4 through TWRP recovery. It took a few tries but everything worked. After using it for 3 days, I decided to turn it off and hard reboot it which I've done plenty of times before. But this time, upon rebooting it starts up and shows the tmobile logo screen and turns black. Vibrates twice as if you plugged it into the charger but remains black, and stays that way. If i plug it into the charger it shows the green battery screen and charges normally. I can enter twrp recovery and download mode as well. But it just can't get past the logo screen. I've also tried using a different note 4 battery from other videos, clearing the cache, delvik-cache, but nothing seems to work. As earlier mentioned, I can't seem to find any other post with this exact problem so I've come to reddit for help. Thank you in advance for any feedback.

You try flashing backup/ Odin stock?

Yeah, I knew since I could still get into TWRP Recovery and download mode I'd still be able to reflash stock roms. After I did, I did notice that the first "T-Mobile" logo screen lasted a bit longer than it did while it was messed up. I'm still not entirely sure what went wrong, but my only guess is that Tekxodus roms incorporate a app called synapse(possibly rom specific). I think I changed options in it which allowed me to overclock the cpu. I did reboot it a number of times after I set that up, but maybe something was stepped on through game editing apps which create/change app data. But it definitely pays to have back-ups to everything. Thanks for the reply too btw

Try flashing another kernel, sounds like that could be the culprit

Note 5 Broke itself for no reason, won't boot to Android OS

Just looking for opinions. I have a stock note 5, no jail breaking or weird loads. Just a run of the mill Note with way too many candy crush saga apps. We weren't even using it a couple days ago when it turned itself off. Reboot just got it stuck in an endless boot cycle. Loading normal or safe mode gets you the android 'no command' blue screen of death.
I figured maybe bad update...possibly load new firmware. Samsung's smart link application doesn't work, as apparently I don't have a S/N, it doesn't exist and you need that for smart link. (It's not the IMEI.) Anyway, Samsung over the phone told me to try a best buy samsung rep, they'd flash it for free. I thought that sounds safe. But they couldn't get it to recognize my phone....Verizon won't help me, I'm past the year warranty. But still owe too much money to pay it off and get a new one through them...That leaves flashing it myself with Odin. So I did. It went ok, it said it PASSED, the phone rebooted....It started a little config in what looks to be a factory reset type screen...it got to 'erasing', refresh arrow spinning to show me it was going, then it just stops. The world stops and no amount of letting it sit every gets it to go again. Rebooting still has 'no command' and no signs of life.
Any thoughts on what might be going on? Anything else to load or try? The phone's no good to me ****ed, so I'm open to suggestions. Likewise, does it sound like any hardware related things? Is there any hope? would love to hear a first impression from someone more experienced with phones and Android.

Try flashing the latest stock firmware in Odin using "Nand erase all" ticked under options..
Let us know how it goes..

Same Problem it looks like. Odin does it's thing for about 3 minutes. Says 'PASS'. Phone restarts, does some initializing bar moving stuff for 10 seconeds, it switches to 'Erasing' then the phone just stops

That's unfortunate dude.
I'm really sick of Samsung phones. They're just terrible. As someone who's had to replace their screen twice and battery three times, it shouldn't be difficult to replace the motherboard.

This happened to my NOTE 5 (SM-N920V) as well
YOUR NOT ALONE! THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY NOTE 5
I was fishing, this morning at about 7am when my phone rebooted all on its own to the same Samsung Boot Logo screen then stuck as well. NO RYHME NO REASON, I have never, ever cracked, hacked or smacked this phone either,:highfive:
"The only updating that has been done has come via Verizon/Samsung..." But none recently ...that I recall as in, the last week or so.
While I will admit doing "it" (hacking,cracking,modding,) to other android phones (Obviously or I wouldn't have a membership here). But this Note 5? No... Maybe perhaps that's why its broken now? LOL...
It does always seem that my continued membership here is not in vain though, ......
For now, I will do whatever it takes to get it back... .......next to buying a new phone or it not coming back on ever.
I will share here what I did to resolve the issue. And I will without a doubt utilize "EVERY" resources here at XDA-DEVELOPERS to do it, and happily without the help of Verizon or Samsung.
So far I have determined that my Note 5 version is not commonly referenced here which is: the SM-N920V (Verizon U.S)
Thank you XDA-Developers this is why we need informational communities like this in our lives! :victory:
Even though I may still go nutz during this repair... if it happens.... Wish us luck!

might be bad emmc look into booting from sd card not possible on all devices but may be a start,I had a note 4 do the same thing and most def was bad emmc

Unfortunately, my sd card is internal on the Note5 the unique thing is the Note5 does not have an pop of back plate that covers the battery as, like previous versions which allow the back cover to be removed easily, I mean yeah I can take this thing apart, but its not conventional.

What you need to do is in Odin options... Uncheck auto reboot. Find the exact .PIT file for your model and put it in odins PIT spot and ignore that it says it's for developers only just add the PIT anyway and in options again where you unchecked auto reboot make sure you check NAND erase all and then add your firmware and after odin flashes it and finally says PASS then disconnect the phone and then hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and when the screens turns off let them go and as soon as it comes back on select nothing but factory reset and when it gets into the recovery mode if it list options and you see factory reset a few lines down use the volume down button to move down to highlight the factory reset option and hit the power button and on the next page again go down to YES and hit the power button again and then let it finish and reboot and least give the phone a good 20 minutes after it's rebooted to get itself setup and to the point where you can start setting it up the same way you did the day you turned it on for the very first time.. Let me know if this works and don't skip any steps.

The newer Samsung's do not use eMMc they use the newer UFS 2.0 which is why the note 5 and S6 never got micro sd slots. I could be wrong here but I don't think so.

Well ****, we're worse off than when we were before. I don't know if this in indicative of a hardware problem, but now that the battery has had time to drain, I plugged it in and left if for a day, but any time the cord is plugged in the phone is stuck in an infinite no command/reboot loop, and I can't get to download mode with up arrow + home + power like I could before. With the phone unplugged it has no life whatsoever.
Could this be a battery issue the whole time?

Yes and it sounds like a hardware issue by draining that fast.. Did you try holding the volume down button and power button until it reboots?

So When it was plugged in to my comp it would not go into download mode...If I unplugged the cord, it would not turn on.
I got a wall outlet charger instead, with that plugged in I could get to download mode, and when I tried to turn the phone on without the wall charger it gave a 'battery 0%' warning...
Anyway, I got it to down load mode, unplugged the wall charger, moved it to the comp and did the flash with the pit file...Odin said it passed. I restarted the phone, picked factory reset. It installs a few quick things, goes to 'erasing' and after about 20 seconds, freezes, same as last time. Now it's back to no command

How long did you let it sit there? Do the factory reset again and let it sit there for a little bit and see if it eventually goes. If not boot into recovery again and read to see what version firmware is listed.

It kicks itself off and goes to a 'no command' after the erasing screen gets stuck and quits 'twirling' for awhile. I don't know how to see a firmware listing. I can't get to a recovery mode(using that terminology to google some screenshots, I don't have that). The phone boots to maintenance mode only...any option I pick there goes to no command. I can use the vol down + home + power to get into download mode so it will be seen by the pc. That's about it

It kicks itself off and goes to a 'no command' after the erasing screen gets stuck and quits 'twirling' for awhile. I don't know how to see a firmware listing. I can't get to a recovery mode(using that terminology to google some screenshots, I don't have that). The phone boots to maintenance mode only...any option I pick there goes to no command. I can use the vol down + home + power to get into download mode so it will be seen by the pc. That's about it

That means that it didn't flash fully.. What firmware version did you flash in odin? And you can see the phone version again by going into download mode too it should be right at the top after pressing the volume up.
