IPhone 3GS :: Jailbroken Frequently Puts Itself Into Safe Mode?
Apr 5, 2010
I'm running the PurpleRa1n JB (the 2nd release, the one that was more stable, RC2 I think it was called) on a launch day 3GS and it's 3.0 FW. For about a month now everytime I install something, be it from the official App Store or the "other" App Store (I'm mentioning it to give full details of the issue, not to be lectured on the rights and wrongs of said program and what it "stands" for please) the phone will reboot/respring itself as soon as the app installs and it will always be in safe mode and I need to restart it again to return to normal. Curiously enough, EVERY SINGLE TIME it does this my camera icon, which is just the stock icon (not any changed/themed icon), is always moved from my home page to it's very own page. My home screen will look the same except no camera icon, and then page 2 will be JUST the camera icon, then page 3 and on are the same as I had them set, they are just one over (since the camera icon is now page 2).It also does this upon updating apps through the app store, and sometimes when I'm just browsing Safari it will slow to a crawl or freeze up (like when I try to scroll around it will be unresponsive or just move the page SUPER slow) and then it will restart itself into safe mode. I'm not sure if it does it when installing/updating Cydia stuff, I haven't used Cydia in awhile.
Normally I'd just restore and re-jailbreak but that's not an option here as Im on 3.0 FW and do NOT have my files backed up in Cydia. Basically I held off on upgrading to 3.1 then re-JBing since there were reports that it was buggy initially. I pretty much forgot about it after that since I have the 3.0 MMS enabling network profile from Cydia. I hadn't used Cydia for awhile around that time and when I finally did I noticed the "make my life easier" thing but didn't click it because it said it was for 3.1 and I was (am) on 3.0. I didn't click "no" though, it still asks me everytime I open Cydia. Then I started noticing a lot of cool new games/apps require the newest FW, or newer than 3.0, so I decided to upgrade to 3.1.2 and re-JB, but I literally decided a day too late as 3.1.3 had just come out so I couldn't get 3.1.2 signed anymore.So that's the rundown of my problem. My 3.0 3GS JB reboots itself into safe mode every single time I install ANYTHING, apps, games, updates, whatever, and also occasionally (maybe 5 or 6 times since this problem started a month or so ago) when browsing Safari. Any ideas as to what it could be and how I can fix it (WITHOUT restoring/re-JBing since I cannot do that given the FW I'm running, the lack of files stored in Cydia, and the lack of a 3GS JB for the newest FW)?Sorry for the long post, I wanted to give as much detailed info on the problem as possible.

I bought an official Samsung S6 Edge flip case cover for my phone. The S6 Edge fits very nicely and it looks professional. However... when I put my phone in this case, it immediately goes into sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I take it completely out of the case. And even then the touch screen doesn't work and I have to do a hard reboot by holding the Power - Home - Volume keys.

I have tried looking before posting this but I can't find anything to help me. I upgraded to 5.0.0.545 and my mute key no longer puts my phone into standby mode. How can I lock the keyboard when I put my phone into my purse now? Is this OS filled with bugs or is it actually better?

Ok I bought an iPhone 3gs 16gb yesterday. it was jailbroken and unlocked when I bought it. after installing some apps I decided to reboot. when the phone turned back on it went into recovery mode. I didn't know what to do and kinda panicked since I am a real newb to the jailbroken iphone world. so I decided to restore the iphone. I downloaded blackra1n and jailbroke the iphone. but I wanted to see if I could reboot without it going into recovery mode again. nope samething happened again. so I jailbroke again. is this normal? what should I do to prevent this from happening again? also I have not unlocked the phone yet. I have only jailbroken it as I don't care to use the iphone with any cellular service just with skype. is this ok to not unlock the phone after jailbreaking?

Everything has been working fine up until about thirty minutes ago I downloaded five column springboard from cydia. Now my phone won't exit safe mode no matter what i do. And so i figured I would just delete it. But it wont let me delete it, or anything.

ive got a htc one m7 and a couple days ago i dropped it in water so i dried it out and left it. just turned it back on now and it goes straight to Hboot so i thought the -volume button must be stuck so i turned it off and back on again holding the +volume and it took me to my homescreen but in safe mood ive tried multiple ways of restarting the phone to cancel safe mode but nothing seems to work and the phone for me is practicaly useless without 3rd party apps..

First off im really impressed with the things you can now do with jail breaking the iphone..i never did it to my 3g just cause of all the crashes people were having but i finally said wow this is too easy thru jailbreakme.com so i took the plung on my IP4
seems im having some issues though:
lockinfo:
can get the weather to show--says zero degrees and im in florida tried a wipe and reload...nothing...
iRealSMS:
for some reason this app is making my phone go into safe mode when i reboot.ive done a reload and a remove...when i remove i no longer get this error.tried using bitesms but a couple of text i never saw cause they were under the app itself.mywi has worked great ! tethering my ipad and my macbook pro...no problems here...like i said i love that you can now do all these things...

My xperia neo was working fine all night then suddenly it acts weird like it doesnt open up apps, then qwerty keyboard always popping up. When it gallery it keeps on flashing many options. Then, i noticed that it's already in safe mode because of the safe mode message at the system tray. I wanted to get rid of safe mode so i tried updating software using pc companion, restarting it, removing the battery, and also i did a factory reset. Same thing i'm still in safe mode! Does it means that there is already something wrong with this mobile phone? How should i get out of safe mode?

I've seen that on some other Xperia phones, you hold down the menu button as the phone boots, but the Ray doesn't have a hard menu button so.... I tried holding the home button, then the volume buttons, and neither worked. Is there a way to boot the Ray into safe mode?

Xperia Z5 won't load into safe mode. Tried connecting through the micro USB cable, while holding down the power off button, and up volume key, it vibrates 3 times, but does nothing.
I've tried 3 different methods, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I've not unlocked my phone, or done anything its a standard Z5 Compact, no bootloader unlocked, or custom kernal etc installed.

I am using Z3 Dual and yesterday I was with friends for a picninc and while using the video mode it was showing the message that the camera temperature is going high and will shut down automatically. My main concern is not that, I used the phone in water (maximum 30 -50 cm depth) for 2-3 times and after that my sim both card was not working ( was not showing the signal bars) and friends tried to call me and came switch off. Then I restarted the mobile then the sim card start working and the mobile was on Safe Mode. I tried to restart the mobile many times and still the problem exixts. Then I tried one option which I found in the web, i pressed the power buttern and when the vibration comes I pressed the vlume up button. I tried this option for severeal times, but the mobile is still in Safe Mode.

I can get to "start, recovery, bootloader (?)" page, but cannot select with volume button. When i press start, it just starts in safe mode. tried to shut down and start again (both by pressing power off by touch screen and holding the off button down). Did get to the menu that offers factory reboot and the like, but again, couldn't select anything with the volume button.

I got this Blackberry 9900 on Orange two weeks ago. I went to bed and it was fine- woke up and it was switched off. I figured the batt was dead but when tried to switch it on it would fully boot but show the home screen. I security wiped yesterday because of a problem with App world. Now it only works in safe mode.

I am owner of a Blackberry 9800 Torch for about a year and now it does not startup. I turned the phone off last night and this morning it does not start up. I didn't make any changes to the phone so very strange. The behaviour is that when I take the battery out and it turns on, the load screen start but the little white line only starts a little (2mm line) and then it restarts and does the same thing and loop over and over again in this till battery runs out. I have tired to enter Safe mode by holding in the Escape bottom when the load screen starts or when the red light turn off but it does not enter Safe mode.

I bought my xperia play about a year ago. All of a sudden it has been acting up . I first noticed that my menu button wasn't working, so i switched it off and on again, it turned on in safe mode (still with the menu button still not working) with all of my downloaded apps greyed out. I thought it might have been an app acting up so i uninstalled them all. Alas no luck, now even if i am to download an app, and install it it doesn't even appear anywhere on my phone.

I had issues with the power button on my phone and had to hard reset it. It rebooted in safe mode and so I reset the phone and then deleted all of my apps.
I tried to reboot again to take it out of safe mode but it just stays in safe mode. I can't download any of my apps anymore.

I had to do some bug hunting, and found out that after reboot from safe mode pinned widgets (here: Sony calendar, Sony Gallery, WeatherPro) were gone, and dropbox account was deleted. I've read in this forum, the phone (Z5P, btw.) will return into normal operation mode after reboot, but this is not the case.
