My galaxy s3 has been stuck in safe mode for two days now which is frustrating as only the stock apps can be used. I have tried different solutions, which I list below.
How it happened.
I was initially on 4.1.1 and when I woke up I saw a notification to upgrade to 4.1.2, after that it did its thing and rebooted into safe mode.
solutions tried
1. Reboot - didnt work
2. take out battery for few minutes and reboot - didnt work
3. boot into stock recovery to try to factory reset phone, Volume button not working so cant select other option apart from reboot. - didnt work
4. Download stock rom from samfirmware and flash using odin - didnt work
5. Flash CWM using odin, didnt factory reset and flashed custom rom (omega). It boots into safe mode as well
6. Downloaded stock ics firmware, flashed using odin . it boots but stuck on samsung logo.
I dont know what else to do. Although am thinking downgrade the bootloader to one meant for ICS the try to flash to ICS stock rom again, would try this later in the day.
p.s Ignore more signature I own a galaxy s3 as well.

Press the power button..
Once you see the logo screen press and hold the left capacitive button..

It's Volume button work fine??
The problem has nothing to do with reboot. As you can see have already mentioned reboot as part of the solutions I tried.
My device is fine with ICS firmwares but has issues with Jellybean (stock and modded rom including CM10.1). Currently am running ICS on it as thats the only way the phone works properly.
I installed 4.0.4 (XAALF2) via Odin, but it got stuck on samsung logo. Then turned it off and flashed CWM to do factory reset as the volume key doesnt work on stock recovery. After that everything worked fine. I was able to update to the latest 4.0.4 via OTA.
The problem is hardware, so you might want to contact Samsung.
I found some information about "Safe Mode".
It seems that every Android phone has a safemode.
"On Samsung’s devices, almost all users will be able to access Safe Mode with by pressing and holding the menu button during start up. If it’s a capacitive menu key, make sure to release and press again each time the LED under the key comes back on. You don’t want to miss the catch for Safe Mode because the button released itself."
Here is the link where i get the information: http://www.tested.com/tech/android/...ds-safe-mode-to-save-a-phone-from-boot-loops/
You can try it this way, maybe it will work.
Good luck.

I think u missing the point, the phone works fine with 4.0.4 firrmwares, it only get stuck in safe mode when updated to Jellybean 4.1.1 and above. No amount of key combination, factory reset or even custom rom was able to fix the safe boot.
The best option is to send it back to samsung, its definitely hardware issue.

I'am sorry for misunderstanding u. I think you could be right. Maybe it is a hardware issue.
Don't forget to "unroot" and reset the "flash counters".

i did a reboot and it removed the safe mode :good:
My personal experience, i overclocked my SGS3 with Boeffla kernel on ARHD then i got freeze screen and phone reebot into safe mode, I entered into recovery and reebot then everithing was fine again.
Safe mode occurs when something in the phone is not working properly , could be hardware or software, however, stuck on it is not a good signal.
my advice is to send the device to service.
Do not forget to reset flash counter via Triangle Away and flash stock factory firmware.
Good Luck! :good:
note 3 stuck in save mode window
This problem occurs after changing to a new simcard not already installed before in the device.
1. Power off the galaxy note 3.
2. Remove the micro simcard from the slot by sliding.
3. Power on the device without the simcard.
4. It will run in a normal mode, if so, this will actually diagnosed that there is a simcard defined by the administrator as default. In the security setting in setting menu and for protection against theft, the original simcard must be insert to unlock this choice of detection of any change in new simcard. New simcard is defined as strange and theft suspected.
I hope this make you reach some solution for your trouble.

Same issue here, it is hardware
I went through a lot of threads and not one had a solution. So I will post here what worked for me.
Customer came to my store with Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710T) that was stuck in safe mode. I tried everything on this thread, nothing worked. Luckily I had a older Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) with a broken screen, so I switched over the motherboard from the customer's phone to the old one - I did connect the customer's original LCD to the motherboard since my old phone had its LCD broken. Powered it on, no safe mode.
So at this point I just transferred the volume buttons flex cable to the customer's phone. Powered it on, no safe mode again.
Hope it helps someone!
Yesterday I rooted my LG Optimus L9 using LGpwn tool, after that it worked just fine.
This morning I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery. Using this post. It explains how to download and install CWM Recovery from app that you downloaded in form of APK.
This method did not work 100%, but I was able to reboot normally, so in post it said that sometimes it does not work and you need to download and use Busybox installer Link to busyboxx.
After this I managed to boot in too CWM using app from mentioned thread.
Then problem occurred. After I saw CWM was working I selected reboot device option.
Except now when it started to boot it stops right after Second LG logo (First is static one second one is animated).
I get white screen with "Encrypting" on top and gray line. And one Reset Phone button. IMG they are Dropbox links.
This is followed with Error : Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. IMG
I am able to boot in too CWM and I have tried flashing something like Cyanogenmod but I get error Status 7. Tried removing line that checks model, no use.
Tried clearing every cache and fixing permissions, nothing. Formatted everything still no use.
Dear XDA community That you in advance.
I fixed my phone by going into SW upgrade mode, and using the Upgrade Recovery function of the LG Software Update tool or whatever. Be sure you don't have any http servers open
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got the same problem, but when I try to access to SW mode and connect to LG Software Update tool to restore my phone, the phone keep disconnect and the phone screen will turn off, so I fail to restore my phone, I have already re-install the USB driver and changed a several USB cable but the problem still, but I tried to restore my phone with SW upgrade method since last night and is was OK, can anyone help me?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Problem Solve Finally, the solution is I plug the battery back to the phone after access to LGMobile Support Tool, and after finish the restore process, the phone will restart but keep boot loop, then I perform the hard reset (Remove the Battery and insert it after few seconds. And now do the 3 button HARD RESET. First press VOLUMEDOWN and HOMEbutton. Then Press Power button only for 3 seconds and release power button but dont release VolDown and Home button and KEEP BOTH PRESSING until you see a Bigger Green Standing Android and circulating Molecular structure above it. DONE! ), then the phone begin work~~~

Hi guys,
i updated my galaxy alpha to lollipop but i found a little big problem: recent button doen's work anymore. It doens't even light when pressed. I read some threads here on xda about people experiencing this issue and i decided to open a new thread to try to fix this kind of problem.
As first "fix" i found helpful enable the super sensitive touch.
And you guys?
if u a using the G850f model, try to backup your data. Then do a complete data and cache wipe (hard reset) then install a clean lolipop update and see if it will work.

I have same issue. And tried to backup my data and install a clean lollipop. Doesn't work.
Yes i tried it too but doesn't work.
tried it all. Flash, reflash, downgrade upgrade but no luck. it only works if i downgrade to 4.4. I also tried dowgrading to a xef csc kk then upgrading to lollipop xef but the damn key doesnt wanna work.
if i wipe from recovery then it goes through but givea an error saying somethibg **** E: cant find storage

ok i just finish flashing android 5 ...im from iran and my recent butten worck fine..my phone was not rooted before
I know exactly the answer to the Recent app keys not working after lollipop update. It only doesn't work when phone is in high temperature. I also experienced it but when i let my phone cool down. It worked perfectly fine

Yup you are right - however my phone is cool but still no left key. if i put it in the fridge then it works for a few mins.
on 4.4 never had this issue.
xef personal conclusion
hy, im from romania and flashed in odin the xef lollipop last night
till now no problem, works like a charm, slightly more performant than kk and more battery saver, recent app button works, im happy, so far no issues! ...finger cross....
fore the ones with issues try to update like me, with odin in these steps:
!!! charge phone battery to 100% with wall plug and make sure your phone is a free carrier type - the SM-G850F. download the france lollipop xef from samsung firmware site and download odin 3.10 from same place. unpack odin to a folder and then unpack the firmware downloaded to same odin folder.
1. backup to pc, cloud, etc. all you need - optional, but dont cry after for loosing your naked girl pics
2. shut down phone and make a factory reset - enter with volum up+home+power
DO NOT RESET THE CACHE - ONLY RESET DATA/FACTORY RESET
3. start odin and after this restart from earlier bootloader, let the phone start normally like after every normal reset but when ask for setup (first window screen where asks for language, accessibility, etc) dont begin anything and shut down the phone - press power and choose shutdown
4. start phone in download mode with vol. down+home+power and when in, select continue, a window with odin mode will appear
5. now connect phone to pc and in odin should appear as recognised, the square become blue and shows the com port number
6. in odin select the AP button and choose the firmware unpacked, unzipped, with the .md5 at the end of the name
7. make sure the RE-PARTITION checkhole is unchecked and the freset time and autorestart are checked, and hit start to begin flash
8. be patient and wait to finnish, it has several steps like copying (a blue line in download mode), restarting and upgrading/deleting things, restarting again and showing the galaxy alpha logo - DO NOT TOUCH IT, LET THE PHONE TO FINNISH, and after few minutes the amazing setup window appear !
9. disconnect the phone from computer, close odin, and shut down the phone!
10. start the phone in bootloader with vol. up+home+power and make a factory reset/wipe data but do not delete/reset the cache after, just data/factory reset
11. restart phone and enjoy your lollipop
if all this is made like i said then you should encounter no issues!
give feedback for help or if issues appear!

Mine also not working when phone is high temperature. Try cooling it down
I have updated to lollipop without any reset.
Have not found any bugs jet.
I was wondering maybe it has something to do with the region your phone comes from, according to the recent button not working?
I had the same problem, and I did this:
Went to Chrome - Settings - Combine Tabs and Apps. I deactivated the option, and by mistake, hit the back button, and started working.
Eventhough the option is Deactivated, when I press the left button, I can see Chorme's tabs wtithin the Recents Apps.
After that had to install and app from Google Play, and after doing so, the button stoped working again. I restarted de phone, and 20 minutes later, the button started working. I have no clue of what's going on.

Still doesn't work.
I always do factory reset, dalvic & cash & than flash new rom,ater instalig it I wipe dalvic again .
All working ,except in new Eudemony V4(5.0.2) deodex break recovery & stack on EULA Data conection.
possible solution - NONE, till region versions come out
i start to believe more and more that this issue has to do with region scrambling software glitches - scientifically said
probably some regions are compatible and some aren't
I tried to change the settings in display settings by increasing the sensitivity and it works. Eureka!:victory:
Try it for yourself.. go to settings under display.
Same issue will it work with other 5.x roms?
I have the same issue. I have not rooted this phone yet. I sent it back to Virgin and they downgraded it back to 4.4.4 then sent it back "fixed". Since I got no feedback I thought it must have been an issue during the update. So I updated again and Recent apps is still not working. I am using an app that brings up the menu for now. I am hoping that 5.1 will fix this issue anyone know the odds on that? Also I am willing to root and loose warranty IF it will work under a custom Rom (or will it not because the ROM would be based on 5.0.1?) Is downgrading pretty risky? I have only rooted with my nexus 4 and moto G and only ran Cyangenmod. so I am not sure of the risks of downgrading. (I remember it being risky in my iphone days). Any thoughts or suggestions?
So today I finally got notification for Oreo update on my Galaxy A8 2018 version.
I updated it via Smart Switch with original USB cable from Samsung, but after update was done, my phone was stuck at reboot mode.
It just keeps rebooting all the time, and even after 1 hour of reboots, it doesn't do anything usefully.
I went to recovery mode, where it still says it's android 7.1.1 firmware … I tried to wipe cache partition and that didn't help at all.
Next step was apply update from SD card but that just returns me errors: E:footer is wrong, E:Signature verification failed and E:failed to to find misc partition.
I tried to wipe all data/factory reset, but that didn't help either.
I can't start it download mode to use Odin, and smartswitch doesn't see my phone either.
I have no idea what else to do
Hi , let your battery to be completely empty , put in charger for about 2 hours don't power On!
After that take out the charger hold at the same time Vol - , home and Power taster , but to skip reboots , try when you hold those 3 buttons to press fast couple of times Vol - while you are holding other two buttons . If you are able to go into Download mode reflash the same firmware version Android 7.1.1 .
It turns out, that I was able to get in download mode, but I had to press volume up + volume down + power button all at the same time.
After that I was able to flash my device with stock 7.1.1 Android. After that was a success, I tried to update to Oreo again via Smart Switch … again same problem and phone would boot.
Then I downloaded Oreo firmware for my phone, and tried to flash it. It wasn't working at all. Program finished in 4 sec, and phone was stuck back at reboot.
After banging my head against the wall, I found some article on web, that this is a know issues for Odin 3.1.2 version, and that 3.1.3 version is working.
So I was finally able to flash my phone with Oreo Android, using Odin 3.1.3 version …. flashed my device at least 7 times before I got result that I wanted.
I still lost all my data, since I didn't have any backups enabled. This time I'm downloading all my apps, and do all customization, and then I'm making backup, so I won't be stuck with that problem once again.
Sometimes I regret going from iOS to Android, and next phone will probably be iPhone for me.

Can we get a translator here so I can understand what the [email protected] you're saying please? Its bad enough I've been dealing with this goddam boot loop for hours and hours but now I can't even get an answer I can understand ****!
After I updated to C.49, my phone is acting weird...
1) Power Button is not working properly
2) Random emergency Call Screen and Power Reboot/Off Screen.
3) When I tried hard rebooting to go into recovery....it shows recovery mode at bottom for 10s and the reboots again to recovery mode text at bottom. It does not go into Menu of selection of English and Chinese language. This continues infinite times...Until finally it decides to boot to main home screen. But the Power button and Emergency screen/Reboot screen issue continues..
4) I tried factory reset of system setting...Same issue remained.
5) I finally tried factory reset wiping all data..Since the Version is latest C.49, which I believe has issues, the Emergency screen and Power Reboot Screens and Power Button not functioning properly continues..
6) I downloaded CPH1861EX_11_OTA_0490_all_sWtP8RDIvyoU.ozip from realme support. Tried updating that software in the phone..
But it lead to point (3) which I stated above...Same vibrating/rebooting after every 3 to 5 secs but not going into recovery Mode..It continued for 1 full day until battery died..Then I charged the phone for sometime and it continued its same funky routine of infinite rebooting and stopping at recovery Mode text.
But, eventually, after few hours, it booted normally to main screen.....But the problem was still there.
7) Now, even if try to shut down..from Power reboot/off screen...It shuts but in few seconds reboot again to main screen. So I cannot even shut it down.
8) I may try to download C.48 version (2.16 GB) and update from SD Card somehow..I don't know if it will revert back to different Version...But gotta try.
Or if there is enhanced or latest or custom update newer than C.49 available in market. maybe I should root or install that.
Frustrating...
How to get rid of this bug? I guess have to wait for new patch or something or next update. Service Centers are not open..because of Lockdown in Mumbai.
Please help, if someone knows the solution or had to deal with similar issue.
