he don't believe you because you're using internet explorer. lol
btt: I can't do anything in safe mode. no laucher. just notification bar. and toggles.

Only system apps are loaded in safe mode, that's why it's called safe mode
Maybe your home app is not a system app

Several posts on Google suggest there is a safe mode for X8, but the typical ways of enabling it (power/menu/volume button combinations) either get me to xRecovery or do nothing at all. Might be a ROM/Android version thing, seeing that -HuntDX- managed to access it.
Nice thing to have, and useful too. Might not have to resort to full wipe/restore backup every time something goes wrong.

If you reboot again without pressing the keys it will boot into normal mode.

[Q] Partial brick on SGH-i897? I can't find any help I DID SEARCH

Hey guys I need a little help, well okay A LOT of help with my old captivate I had been running Serendipity VII ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107894&highlight=serendipity ) on it for almost a few months then loaned the phone to a friend when I got my S3 after about 6 months the boot loops started then after it bootlooped one last time and went black, the device wouldn't charge or do anything really. I could get it into download mode and I think recovery, I tried flashing back to stock and now it boots but after the purple/blue S screen it goes black and nothing happens except the capacitive lights turn on. I made a video showing this I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what is wrong. I think something very important got deleted. Thanks in advance!

After trying this it started boot looping then I tried wiping data and doing it again and got back to boot looping.
I took a couple of pictures on the recovery screen to show what it is saying. It almost seems like the internal sdcard is shot.

Seems indeed like the sd is dead.
Do you have a external sd that you could use to boot on? I'm not sure if would work but worth giving a try.

I wouldn't know how to go about even setting that up to boot from extSD. I have another "broken" captivate. One of the color correction resistors (i think) came off the board so not the screen is yellow but still manageable. Maybe I can use my reflow station and get something going by making a frankenstein phone.

The internal sd is within your motherboard so if you can swap the MB from one to another, it should work!

Were you running a custom ROM or custom kernel before you tapped on that update message?
So what happens now when you try to turn your phone on? Does it vibrate? Does it show the Samsung Galaxy.. logo atleast?

Updating your phone's firmware is a very risky process; if your phone gets interrupted or loses power then it has a chance to get permanently bricked!! So, what happens now when you try to turn your phone on (by holding power button)? Does it vibrate? Does it show the Samsung Galaxy.. logo atleast?

Mine just working fiiiine... seems more faster than JB(4.3), mine open in like 1.2 secs and change back to front in like 0.8 seconds.
My Z1 is super fast now after this update!
Try wiping cache and Dalvik cache, that maybe will help you.
Hit Thanks Button if i helped you!

Pressing the yellow button on the back for about 5 to 10 seconds will indeed make it vibrate three times but after that it should be completely off.
Try it a few times. It will eventually work. Make sure the charger is not connected though!
Your phone will need to be completely off before you can start using flashtool.

you can flash any ftf file, I prefer using Generic. If you want the one for your carrier just repair with PC companion again

Any ftf for your device model will work, but don't flash any ftf for a different model. Doing that will brick your device.
Example:
My phone is C6903 then I'll flash C6903 ftf
If I'll flash C6902 ftf to a C6903 phone then my phone will be bricked.
You can use seus (Sony Ericsson update service) for updating our reinstalling Sony phones firmware (locked bootloader only ) it helped me when i bricked my device first time

booting device into android safe mode

hi guys, is there any hardware buttons combination to boot the device into safe mode ? I know the usual way is long pressing "power off" in power menu, but if you are in a bootloop that won't help you

press the power button, then long press on power off. then an option for safe mode will pop up. that's the only way. if you're in a bootloop, safe boot won't help you. reflashing your ROM should though.
@simms22 I did a Google search and other devices from Samsung, LG, Oppo etc seem to have the hardware buttons combo to boot in safe mode, motorola shouldn't be an exception right?
It would be useful in case I have to uninstall a theme that wont allow the phone to boot, it hangs on the bootanimation, maybe not a proper bootloop

other devices are just that, other devices, not a nexus. for the nexus, thats the only way. and to solve that issue, just reflash your rom, dirty, and you wont lose a single bit of data. thats the right way to do it on a nexus.
lmao , just ask the right questions and google will spit it right out for you
can confirm pressing vol up and vol down simultaneously while booting will get you safe mode on our device

less invasive than reflashing system and screwing up your mods, if you have a third party rogue app that is

#1 and #2 we know of, as the op asked for another way from power off. #3 and #4 do not apply here, there is no motorola dual core screen on the quad core nexus 6. so, reflashing the rom is the only solution.

yes those instructions are ancient, but if you press vol up and down simultaneously when the phone starts booting(as soon as the splash screen shows up), device will boot on safe mode
try it out, I did it and it worked [emoji41]
edit: also step 1 and 2 has nothing to do to long pressing the power off option, is just the steps to power off/on the phone

@simms22 I did a Google search and other devices from Samsung, LG, Oppo etc seem to have the hardware buttons combo to boot in safe mode, motorola shouldn't be an exception right?
It would be useful in case I have to uninstall a theme that wont allow the phone to boot, it hangs on the bootanimation, maybe not a proper bootloop

If you have TWRP you can go in and delete everything in /system/vendor/overlay. That'll uninstall your theme.

if you are using a ROM with CMTE that won't work, although is possible you can delete another folder where the offending theme is?not sure
still booting into safe mode with hardware buttons and uninstalling said theme is easier in my eyes
