I did a restart and it went away. But i never seen this before.
It happened after I pulled my phone from pocket and I guess I pressed a combination on the screen.
I have seen this safe mode once on my galaxy s 2 Lte

Only time I seen this was when phone was damaged internally ...only way to get it off is to get a new phone

That happens when you hold the menu capacitive button as you're booting...
It's the exact same as safe mode in windows, only needed apps are loaded, so if you have an offending app that is severely messing your poop up, you can uninstall it without it interfering.
You all are welcome for the Android lesson

I had never seen this till just a few minutes ago, i'm on an epic 4g touch and had it alllll the way apart to solder in a wire to do the touchstone mod, got everything plugged back in and put back together and pushed power and saw SAFE MODE right away and then it rebooted itself, was all like what the hell did i manage to screw up now?!?!?! thankfully it rebooted normally and works fine... first thing i did though was google android safe mode...learn something new every day.....

I just turned my phone on and now all it's showing is a gray screen (see image) below.
Even when I pull the battery, it "boots" into this. After some time I do hear the booting sound.
The phone is unlocked/rooted/s-off'ed.
When I boot with the volume button down it does show something, but it's unreadable (only showing the top 1/2 part of the 1st text line)
Anyone here who might have a clue what is wrong, and how to fix it?
Thank you.

Lol no you probably need a new digitizer/lcd panel. That's my guess

Try booting into the boot loader and see if it still does that if not your rom has gone corrupt. Superwipe and reinstall.

Looks like the LCD is damaged or the connection ribbon for the LCD is loose.
What everyone's said so far is right. Your LCD is either broken or has a loose cable.
Send it in for repairs.
I don't see why they wouldn't repair it even if you are rooted, as this is their flaw, not a result of your rooting.
But to be safe, try and flash an RUU on the phone, for now.
Thank you all for the input.
It's still withing waranty, and will be picked up tomorrow for replair!
It's still rooted.. Let's see what they are going to say.
Will keep you guys updated!
re: Will keep you guys updated!

good ole HTC....
What's your point?.... I didn't think they fully removed it on the last OTA anyway?...
If they did and its back, its not necc a bad thing at all so lets be sure to not jump to conclusions and assume its all bad too...
Last time they had issues with it configured poorly and would shut off data if phone is asleep after midnight or whatever...so far I haven't seen this behavior... So maybe they fixed the issues it had before?

True, and a very good point. I just thought i'd point it out just in case
I hate it. Every time you plug your phone in to a computer it tries to install the software, and if you let it it'll fubar your adb and fastboot drivers. Not to mention I prefer my phone to not whore out all my information to every computer it gets plugged in to.
But anyways, now that I've removed some of HTC's bloat I'm liking the update.

Replacing the screen works. Although I have seen on one occasion where it didn't fix it.

Try replacement parts? Have Sprint replace your phone? $150 to Asurion? Buy a new phone?

See if sprint will fix it. They can't tell if its rooted anyway until they fix it. I doubt they would make a fuss. If that does not work I can supply a screen for $60 shipped.

i eventually managed to get it into download mode (took about 3 hours of pressing the same buttons time after time) and flashed a ROM via odin, after the apparently successful flash the phone reboot, time and time again for around 30 minutes, like the clown i am i removed the battery (i know i know), so now it gets to the carrier logo, then the samsung logo and thats where it stays, it can enter recovery (stock i believe) but the volume buttons do nothing, i cant for the life of me get it into download mode again, should i cut my loses or is there anything else i can try?
Sell it instead of opening multiple posts on the same subject .
not really the same though is it as it now freezes on the samsung screen.

A coworker had some strange GPS problems. He had bought a used S3. It wasn't obvious at first, even with my real S3 next to it.
A look behind the battery cover showed it's true face, a fake S3.
On youtube there are enough videos that point out fake form real. Have a quick look and know for sure. It could help you find the error.

im 100% positive its genuine (yes i have checked the vids).

I would say, download the rom again and flash it again.
tried a couple now, always gets stuck at the sansung screen
So I've an S6 Edge that was in a case, but accidentally got put on top of the car after the dog park, fell off the roof, and was ran over by another car. Didn't actually realise that until I got home, and couldn't fine the phone. Searched for finding a lost Android phone, went to https://android.com/find and sure enough, the phone was somewhere only 10 minutes away, and seemed to be in a shop close to where I had been driving.
Got the phone, after nice people had handed it in, but also after it had been literally run over by a car, and now looks like

The phone *wasn't* insured, and after calling a few repair shops, not only did they quote €250-300, they also all have the policy of wiping the phone before / during after the repairs (been through this before and it's an absolute PITA).
Nearly worse than that, the phone had Google Cloud Backup turned off, didn't have the Samsung Account connected to the phone, (don't know if the bootloader is locked or unlocked), isn't rooted, and has adb turned off / my machine isn't authenticated to adb to it.
I've tried booting into the bootloader or whatever Samsung's thing is, but no matter what no device shows up on fastboot / adb devices. The devices shows up in Odin, after I do some combination of key presses, but I get no confirmation of anything from the phone.
What I want is, somehow to get the photos on the phone off (specifically the pictures of my puppy who's 6 months, and my niece who's 8 months ), and run a WhatsApp backup to my Google Account, before swapping the sim card to a backup phone.
Here's what the dog (when small, medium and current sized) looks like, and the niece,
I would really, really appreciate the help. I *know* better steps should have been taken when the phone was working, but we are where we are now, and I can only take steps from here. If someone, anyone can get me to being able to access it via adb, there are plenty of apps around which let me control the phone remotely via adb, but how to enable adb from the state it's in? I really, really don't know.
Thanks guys, again, appreciate any help.
