Hi. I was given a S5830 with a cracked screen and replaced the screen ok. I managed to root and unlock the phone fine but somewhere around this stage the phone started to constantly boot into safe mode.
It took me a while to figure out but eventually discovered the problem is the menu button, the phone seems to think I'm long pressing on it during boot, which starts safe mode. If I tap the menu button a few times during boot, it'll boot up normally.
At first I though this was just a dodgy touch screen, so bought another one from a different supplier and.... same problem.
I've tried checking all buttons cleaning all connections etc. I've reflashed a stock rom and tried it with cyanogenmod with the same result. Even when the touchscreen is connected but not attached physically to the phone it still does it.
I've ran out of ideas really. The only thing I can think of is when I first tried to root it with superoneclick it the program froze a few times before I tried a different method, not sure if that would have caused a problem, maybe with the kernal or something?
Any ideas welcome!

Hi Viper, thanks for replying.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the non touch menu button"?
The phone worked fine when I replaced the screen at first, it was only when I rooted and sim unlocked it that it started booting into safemode.
I've tried all the usual ways to get out of safe mode and if I tap the menu button while it's booting, it'll load fine.

Hi all, its very weird, the keyboard won't work at all in the OS. Still when the device is turned off, and i press Up (on keypad) + Power it goes to bootloader, therefore the physical keyboard seems fine. Nonetheless it would not work in the recovery, so i cant use d-pad to update.zip root and other shtuffs ... Please, any suggestions would be really appreciated. I tried flashing several SBF's, nothing helped.
just reflash it from bootloader then nandroid back to your backup that you made in the last seven days.
same same
Hi!Help!! I have the same problem: keyboard is not working but I can enter to the bootloader mode by pressing joystick up and powering the device... Any solutions how to fix it?

i couldnt flash it from there, cause it wasnt the triangle boot, it was the black one ...
Hi there,
I've read through the stickies and searched for a solution to this problem. However, I am still unable to find a solution.
So, I my Galaxy S was rooted with One-Click Lag Fix and I decided to upgrade the firmware on it. I did not think that I needed to unroot it before I performed the update though. When the phone rebooted itself, it would show the Galaxy S start-up logo then go black. However, it does vibrate..at random intervals for some odd reason even if the screen is black.
tl;dr - Anyway, my Galaxy cannot go into recovery mode through the 3 buttons method and I can't seem to connect it to Kies or connect usb and whatnot. So, am I doomed to send it back for repairs? Or is there some way.
Thanks in advance!

Since it did start to boot, you might try seeing if you can issue the command
adb reboot recovery
Hmm I thought I have to enable/disable some USB settings (USB Debugging) before ADB Reboot Recovery works.
Nonetheless, I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks.
EDIT: No luck =\
I've only way to actually fix it is going into the recover mode and doing a factory reset .
Volume Down button + Home key + Power
Volume up button + Home key + Power
one of them goes to recovery other goes to the android installing thing.
try them both not sure which is which.
Yes I know. However, my I9000 is unable to do the 3 button method (some sort of bug/defect).
Basically, I have to bring it back for repairs =.=
I finally found solution! Bootloader on my phone isn't nearly same as usual one, no white screen, just a few lines which designate modes. 4 are present:
-normal boot
-fastboot
-recovery
-UART boot
I accessed it by pressing and holding power button and volume up button at the same time during device boot.
I hope someone with a same problem will find this helpful!
I managed to boot to system but I still can't get in bootloader. No combos and neither adb works.
I got my HTC One from second hand several days ago and I instantly noticed that something wasn't right. System was naked, no bloatware, no usual settings, no proper identification so I decided to install custom rom. I tried to boot to bootloader which I wanted to unlock(I guessed it's locked 'cause recovery is stock) with key combos, adb but it simply didn't boot to bootloader nor it rebooted or sometimes it went to factory mode which is on chinese. Again, I tried to find which version of phone I own but I can't figure it out. Moreover, I downloaded and put stock rom on virtual sd card and booted to recovery, opened menu with power button and selected to install package from zip just like it's said in thread but it outputted 'Install /sdcard...' and nothing else for past couple hours. Recovery isn't frozen, It shows\hides menu when power button is pressed. I tried to force shut down it by holding only\in combination with power button\volume buttons but nothing happens. I don't know what else to do...
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: It eventually discharged but when I turn it on with charger in it I get blinking white screen on every 3 seconds and when long pressing power button phone just vibrates. In combination with volume down it keeps blinking on every 3 secs and with volume up on every 5 seconds. To me, it looks like it's trying to boot but bootloader can't find anything installed. Computer is recognizing usb device on the moments when I connect it with usb just like when device is rebooting.

You have a fake phone
I agree, you've probably got a counterfeit One, but you can't flash custom roms from stock recovery anyway.
Firstly, thank you for any answer. How do you mean 'fake'?! I got it in original box and IMEI's are same(on box and device) What can I do with it then?
I tried to flash stock rom designed for stock recovery, at least that's how I understood.
MIDN07100 (Europe, a guy from which I got device claimed that it's from England so this should fit)
IMEI:354436053103493(same on device and on box, checked with IMEI checker it appears as valid HTC One device)
Hopefully you guys can help me with my problem. Recently, I downloaded the new Marshmallow app drawer from Android Pit's "Here's how to get Android Marshmallow's new app drawer on Lollipop". It was successfully installed and seemed to be working fine. However, Google Now gave me a message saying that it was not connected to the microphone and that I should reboot my device. Thinking that the actual reboot key combo was power and volume down, I did this and this brought me to the fastboot page. I selected and entered the power up normally option on the top, which the booted my phone to a completely black screen, from which only the "power off" option would show if I held the power button down. I was confused and concluded that the app drawer somehow soft bricked my phone. After reading up on the web, I went into recovery in the fastboot screen, then selected clear cache. Two lines of orange text appeared at the bottom saying that the cache clear was starting and that it was finishing. I hit the power button, tried to boot my phone up, then, recieving another black screen, brought back up the fastboot menu and tried to enter the recovery screen again so that I could factory reset my device. The recovery screen gave me messages about how it could not load the cache, and since then has been flashing on a set interval on my screen (going black, showing the broken Android with "no command" then going black again).
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem?
note: (I have not rooted my phone)

What is the actual model of your phone. Did you have an unlocked bootloader with TWRP?
The black screen problem can only be fixed by doing a factory reset. After you get into the screen with the dead android and an exclamation mark. You need to press power and volume buttons to make a menu appear. Then choose factory reset. Unfortunately you will lose your data, but this will fix it.

I have solved the issue... I believe it was stuck in some sort of loop with the revovery mode, because that was flashing periodically on the screen. I was eventually able to get the recovery screen to actually stay on the screen and then reset it. Thanks for the quick reply!

I have solved the issue but the actual model is the Moto X 2nd Generation Pure Editon without the bootloader unlocked for anyone with similar issues. Thanks for helping out!
I'm having the same issue today with a Moto X Gen 1 after accepting Verizon's OTA upgrade to Lollipop. Only I can't boot to recovery.

I'm still having the problem that you were facing and cannot get out of that loop sequence. I've booted over and over, tried to launch recovery and nothing... I see some yellow text at the bottom only briefly staying that something couldn't load, then back to the dead-droid/red triangle (no command) for a split second, over and over... I am stuck.

I'm having this exact same problem too! The 'dead droid' just constantly flashes over and over, so I am unable to do anything. There was one time when I held power and the low battery icon showed up with a yellow exclamation mark triangle, but I haven't been able to get that screen again. I contacted Motorola and they told me to try and go to settings and do a factory reset... I just told you I can't turn on my phone! What the hell man. I have tried so many things online and none of them worked. From what I'm reading the only was to fix this is to flash a blank bootloader, but those files haven't been released yet.
The worst part is that I have only been using this phone for ONE DAY!:crying:

How did you get the screen to eventually stay on?

okay so after several guides and steps, i finally got my Moto X (1st Gen) working again using the tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWDwyqUF6k4
Essentially i flashed a custom recovery like the PhilZ Touch recovery here http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/40132571/file.html by renaming the "philz_touch_6.58.7-ghost.img" file to "boot.img" in fastboot mode and rebooted after that.
And that was it, phone rebooted and is working fine.
Hi everyone. I have read the many threads on how to unbrick my Galaxy Note 1 and nothing works.
The problem appeared suddenly when I was trying to close an application called voice recorder.
The phone started to get on a boot loop. So I removed the battery, put it back on and tried to reboot it and was presented with a welcome menu set up in spanish. I shut down my phone, then removed the battery again, put it back and rebooted and since that my phone is no longer working. I have a completely black screen with no activity whatsoever.
I have tried the recovery option: volume up, home and ppower buttons with no response from the phone. Looks like it is completely dead
I have tried the flash odin option volume down, home and power button and none of my odin programs (odin 3 v3.07/ v1.85 or v.1836) are picking it up on the port.
What are my other options to revive my phone.
The last flash I used was Jelly Bean N7000XXLT9_N7000XXLT3_N7000OXXLT3_HOME.tar.md5.
I am also waiting for a jtag to come in the next few days.
Many thanks for your suggestions if there are any.
First make sure you have a charged battery. Then try recovery or download mode

Battery has been fully charged and is brand new and as I said nothing happens. No recovery, no download mode possible. Looks like it is all flat and dead!
