Cannot get into Download or Recovery mode from Power Menu..

Hello ppl..
I got a strange problem. My phone is able to go to recovery mode and download mode after I power-off my device. It's ok till this stage.
But when I long press the power button when the phone is running I got some options like silent mode flight mode etc.. and reboot,recovery and download mode. When I choose recovery or download the phone just reboots and does nothing. Do u got any idea about what's wrong with it? Ty for your help..

Can you write more about ROM which you use?
As far as I know there isn't any options which allows you to go into recovery or download mode from running OS (but I might be wrong). CPU detects signals from buttons: vol up, vol down, home, power and decide in which mode run phone (download, recovery or standard boot).
Do you really need recovery and download mode working from power menu? Do you flash your phone so often?

Its the extended power menu application that is faulty .
You have installed it so reinstall or reflash the rom it came with .

Im using insanity v.0.5.3
I never installed extended power menu app. Yeah im flashing my phone so often Kernels new roms etc. I think I broke something on root but dunno what..

If you have more than the stock power menu then its from a cooked rom .

Reflash the rom mate.
The power menu you are using is a part of the rom you are using, its obviously not working properly.

I tried to reflash, installed another rom (doc's rom) but it wasnt working on the other rom too..

[Q] com.android.phone crash

I have it in any CM7 based rom until now ...
I did find a way to fix it.
Boot phone
Go to Airplane mode
Reboot to recovery
Apply my country baseband
Reboot back to phone
Exit airplane mode.
But its really annoying to do it every time i enter airplane mode or reboot my phone.
Is there any other way ? a script\update maybe ?

Can I disable Safe Mode ?

Hi
I have 3 year old Captivate, which now has an issue with the volume down button which seems to be making the phone boot into Safe Mode. I'm guessing vol down and power on force Safe Mode. My question is, is there a way to block Safe Mode when I power on.
Phone is running CM 10.1 and apart from this H/W issue is running great.

what do you mean safe mode?
that is a windows term that doesn!t mean anything to me in my android experience.
do you mean recovery mode with only text prompts?
can you please describe the screen you see?

Android has a safe mode, it is used to troubleshoot if a problem is caused by an app you installed or a base Android issue. If you want to learn about it see, http://www.howtogeek.com/130327/how-to-boot-your-android-phone-or-tablet-into-safe-mode/ or similar articles.
This thread is asking how to block Safe Mode.

hey, thanks, I had no idea that existed. I am on a 4.2 rom, cm10.1, and it is there as you suggest.
Back to op. can you get into unsafe mode at all?
if you clean the volume rocker, does it help?
you could also try the reboot menu app in google play. you won't need to press any buttons to power down or reboot. powering would still be trouble, though

But can you turn it off with your power button?
Look at the screen timeout settings, maybe there is something there that you can change.

screen timeout is set to 15s and the screen continues to remain open until i press the power button to close it.!

you should try to reflash thst latest rom, or just do the factory reset. if nothing works then just download any other stable rom and then try to flash again (ofc wipe cache and dalvik cache). its very recommended do the backup before you flash any ROM, so if something happens you could restore your pre-flashed rom/backup

Boot loop after Ultra Power Saving mode

Hi All,
I was hiking with my dogs and was running very low on power so I enabled ultra power saving mode. When I got home and charged my phone fully I couldn't find a way out of this and back to my normal phone. I re booted the phone and now it is stuck in a boot loop. I was running Nova Launcher which I think is the reason I cannot see the option to disable Ultra Power Saving.
The phone has never been rooted, I can get into recovery mode and I tried wiping the cache but it didn't work. Is the only option now to perform a factory reset from the recovery mode?
I thought I would ask here before to see if there was any way out of this
Thanks in advance for any help
Regards
Richard

Were you running a package disabler by any chance?

Yes I was running package disabler. I wasn't aggressive with what I disabled though. Mainly the bloatware apps that came with my phone and no services.
I ended up booting to the recovery and restoring from there and got a working phone again. No matter what I did I couldn't get it out of the boot loop.
At least I know now and will think twice about using the Ultra Power Saving Mode

That explains it. Even the basic package disables the ui for the ultra power saving mode and causes bootloops. I think there is a warning about that in the thread of package disabler itself. And they do mention the only solution is a factory reset.

I had package disabler, I re-enabled a few things and same issue. Bootloop even an odin flash wont fix.
there must be a way to flash custom recovery like twrp and then modify system in order to disable the program and get back in.

I found a Solution for those who are still Stuck in Ultra Power Saving Mode.
If you are stuck at Samsung Logo, call your own number and you will get option to answer or reject the call.
Reject the call.
Send an SMS to your number with Text "google.com"
Notification will appear.
Open the SMS and click the google.com link
Browser will open
Search for a Package DIsabler Software apk -ez disabler or package disabler pro etc.(You should pay the developer later)
Download and Install the app.
You will get Open Option right after Installation is finished.
Enable Emergency Launcher.
Press Home.
Voila, You can now exit UPSM without Factory Reset
