I'm not a developer, so please don't ask me what the use of it is. That is for the developers to find out.
Thanks

I don't know. I thought some developers may look at it.. And may be even find it to be useful in some way

I think it was just like in windows. Some apps are not accessible during that time, i also encountered that sometime this week, you can play, call/text and browse but there is no way you can browse your storage.

It doesn't work for my Xpeia Mini..... but what does safe mode do on windows? :S

On windows most of the drivers aren't loaded in safe mode. It's normally used for troubleshooting.

even it worked in my mini tooo...

By accident even I entered the safe mode. All my 3rd party apps and widgets were disabled/not shown.

It is used to restore system incase of bootloop. Pointless because we have Recovery for that. You can't do much in safe mode unless you have added file manager to system folder, so that it can be used.

I'll be damned, it really works Thanks for the info!

I can't seem to get it to download straight from the phone. Keeps saying its an unsupported file. Also tried to send it through Bluetooth to my phone and that also didn't work.
How did you guys get it to download and install?

Anyone know any screen recorder that's for non root. Pm me plz if u know
Try ASC apk instead - it is free, works on all devices without root access and can take not only screen shots but also record video in ral time from your device's screen (benzul.com for details and google play links)

[Q] [HELP] [WTSR/SMPL] Bricked SGSII by removing Gmaps

Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?

GT-P7510: Can only boot into Download mode. "No Kernel" and no Recovery. HELP!

GT-P7510: Can only boot into Download mode. "No Kernel" and no Recovery. HELP!
Title says it all. My tablet will boot into the Recovery/Download selection screen if I do it right, but selecting Recovery mode does absolutely nothing.
If I try to boot the tablet normally, it will go directly into Download mode on its own.
I'm reaching out everywhere I can for help. This is beyond frustrating.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Edit:
Here. This is what happens every single time I do ANYTHING in Odin. I'm seriously at a loss and have no clue where to go from here. ****.

Problem twrp a405fn

Hello i create this thread cause i have a big problem about twrp on my phone my phone is : SM-A405FN
I have followed this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a40-t3968586
But when i flash twrp (i have uncheck "reboot" on odin of course) i can't get access to the recovery mode, when i do power button + volume up it doesn't do nothing and show this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(I have already unlock my boot loader)
I think its DM VERITY who block the access to recovery mode but i can't disable this, cause i can't get access to twrp :/
Thanks for any answers c:
I exactly did the same - with the same result. I also have a SM-A405FN - I still can enter the green download screen & the phone is still accessible with Odin - but flashing twrp_a40 again does change nothing... the phone is still in the boot loop. Any ideas?
