hello everybody, so lately i have my galaxy S3 to my sister which was running CM13.0 latest snapshot.
One day she came at me and said about being in "safe mode", i told her to reboot the phone normally and it should be fine. Unfortunately it didn't work, so i went to try fixing it myself.
1. wiped cache + dalvik, didn't work.
2. wiped cache + dalvik + system, still didn't work.
3. Factory reset, didn't work either.
4. while everything except internal storage and reinstall the rom and gapps, and still in safe mode.
5. i just wiped everything including internal storage, then i install CM 14.1 unofficial + Android N Gapps, and it was still in safe mode.
there is no notification telling that i an in safe mode in the nitridation tray. just the "safe mode" text on the bottom left side. Anyone would know how this problem could have occurred? Where is the main source of the problem? and is it hardware or software related? how should i fix it?
thank you in advance for an answer.

Here's what I did when I got the same issue:
1. I booted into Clockwork recovery. Once there I wiped everything incl. "Dalvik Cache" and "Battery Stats" in advanced menu.
Manually formated every step in "Mounts and Storage" menu (EXCEPT FOR SDCARD of course!). Even tho that step might not be necessary
2. Did a factory reset.
3. Removed SD-card and put it in my putor. Then copied a ROM to the card.
4. Booted into download mode (hold Volume down + Home + Power buttton) and flashed a kernel with Odin.
5. Booted into Clockwork recovery and installed ROM from zip.
This worked like a Clockwork for me, No guarantees from me tho!
Hi,
Please give me some help guys,
After installing an app from a torrent (dont know if its related but it happened after installing and opening it) my phone keeps restarting every time, it boots up normally but after just about 5 seconds in the home screen it reboots again. I need to pull out battery to get it stop rebooting.
I've entered in CWM, but cant wipe data/factory reset, when I choose that option it appears "wipping /data" and it just reboots again. I cant also format /data from advanced options. Also, when /data is mounted I cant unmount it also from advanced options. Can wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data. Cant use the phone!
I have Omega v36 with superSU and CWM touch in it. How can I solve this?
Happened to me once also. Idk which app you installed but I had installed privacy guard and it resulted in a boot loop. The 5 seconds it gives you at start, try to go in settings then applications and uninstall the app which caused this. Took 15 minutes of me trying and I lucked out and uninstalled it. Phone been fine after that

I've tried, but as soon as I hit the "unninstall" the phone reboots. I guess trying to interact with something in /data makes it reboot.
App + torrent = probable malware .
Flash stock rom via Odin is the first step .

flash latest i9300 stock rom via odin and after f-reset.find rom here

Try safe mode.
Safe mode will boot only stock apps, apps which were installed by ROM.

Well, things have gone worst, i've entered in safe mode and choose factory reset from settings, now the phone keeps rebooting, show the green robot of factory reset for 2 seconds and then reboots again. Now cant even get in the samsung logo neither in recovery or download mode.
Now, is there a solution for this? Have removed the battery for about 5 minuts but it stays the same.

I am having this same problem with my ACE 3 Duos, and it is DRIVING ME NUTS!
I searched all over the internet
- It starts up normally then reboots within 2 - 4 seconds
- I managed to let it start on SAFE MODE it didn't work! still rebooting!
- I wiped the cache and it didn't work
- I am leaving the Factory Reset as a last option ((cause I didn't back up my data and I have bad experience with back ups))
- much important info on my phone ((about my work)) and don't wanna lose that
- I think I can save it cause it is booting normally then something goes wrong
HELP!
Hi, I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and everything was working fine. A couple of months later, I put the tablet in airplane mode because I didn't want to drain the battery when I wasn't at home. When I got home and removed it off airplane mode, the device appeared to be frozen so I held the power down to restart it; this normally fixed most issues I've had with it.
Only this time, it boots to the screen with the Samsung logo and is just stuck there. I was wondering since I did root my tablet, is there any way to restart it properly without doing a factory reset which will cause me to lose all my data/apps, etc...
Did you try to restart device from recovery?
Could you please describe what you mean by boot to recovery?
Hold power+volume down, you will be directed to recovery, there choose reboot device, if that wont help try factory reset, or flash stock rom through Odin
Any solutions that would not wipe the data?
If not is there a way for me to access the data and save it prior to me doing the factory wipe like hooking it up to my pc and transferring the data?
I have recovery but noticed I never took a backup. I am wondering if I did a backup now and did a factory wipe; would it wipe out the recovery/root? If not; would I be able to restore the backup and get my data back?
I tried the wiping cache but no luck; still just goes to the logo screen and no further.

I had this same problem on my tab. However, I just got out of it using the RECOVERY mode as was explained above.
It will not wipe your data. Just choose the option to reboot the system and that will fix it for you. I had same concern about wiping my data so when I saw that reboot option, I selected it and it has helped to rectify my issues. My tab has finally boot completely and I'm once again able to use my tab.
Hello everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-9100) that has a dorimanx kernel and cyanogenmod 10 (nightly... I don't remember the version).
My problem is that the phone won't boot up.
If I turn the phone on I get the Samsung galaxy s2 screen with the yellow warning icon and then the screen of the dorimanx kernel but after that the phone blacks out and nothing happens.
I don't get the cyanogenmod boot animation.
But the phone is on, I know this because if I press the power botton of the phone, the lights of the menu and the return bottons turn on. It's weird.
I can make the phone boot in download and recovery mode perfectly (manually, pressing the physical bottons of the phone).
I have considered going into the recovery mode and installing cyanogenmod again but I'm not sure about what could happen to the files of the phone as I have some pictures thst I don't want to lose.
I have some questions about what to do with this situation:
- If I can install the rom again from the internal sd of the phone, it would fix it?
- Do you, guys recommend md to do a full wipe and format before I install the rom? I have once installed a rom in an old phone without doing the format, only doing the wipe and the filled of the phone were still there after the installation.
- Is possible to get the files from my phone in this state? I mean if I connect the phone to my pc, could I get the pictures back?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
So you've booted with this rom before? You could try flashing the rom again, or just try wiping cache/dalvik cache(or both). You won't lose photos or data doing this. If this doesn't work you can do a full wipe and install again(if you don't want to lose photos etc, you should be able to backup from recovery to your pc)
Just in case its your first time trying to flash this rom/kernel combo, make sure they are compatible too

+1 Great advice. Seems you've been actively helping out members. Keep up the great work! (Final year of high school now so I won't have much time to contribute as I would normally do).

To add on to noppy's advice, you can still access your internal storage while in recovery mode by going into mounts and storage and selecting mount mass storage. A full wipe (factory reset, wipe all cache partitions and format system) is what I usually recommend to people if they want to install a new or different rom. And installing the same rom might and might not fix your problem. I think it's better off doing full wipe then flash.
I have gt 19100 may be affected by charger so nows shwing only samsong screen but not open and my laptop could not recognize it plz. any one have an idea about.
Follow my tutorial to get back to Philz Touch recovery. Then TWRP with IsoRec Kernel :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-tutorial-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-t3538601
My daughter's i9300 started resetting itself without control. Today it got unmanageable and a successful boot became impossible.
Looking around, I found a thread suggesting that the power button switch is the culprit.
Indeed, after removing the switch, everything worked fine. Had major issues starting the phone, but eventually it started, so I was good to go.
I rooted it, installed latest TWRP and Resurrection ROM. The ROM was a random pick more or less, I had it on my LG G3 at some point and I wanted lollipop.
All fine and dandy, I was able to get into the phone. However, data wasn't wiped even though I selected it for wiping in recovery (probably didn't select the right thing...). So I went to settings and chose factory reset with wiping all data.
This lead to phone rebooting to recovery, but TWRP logo just flashes every few seconds without ever getting to recovery itself.
How can I make this phone work again? Any ideas?
Boot into download mode then flash a full stock rom with Odin. If that works then factory reset in recovery before testing.
You may find the firmware won't flash, as it sounds like your nand memory is worn.
