The mystery of entering Safe Mode, which you may have accessed by accident, or have been trying to access.

The trick is to be holding the left/menu button during the transition from the animated "S" screen to the screen that follows. BUT, the key must also be unlit. Because the LED automatically turns on again after 3 seconds, you have to tap and hold the key every couple of seconds, and do it quickly.

Just like Windows safe mode, only use it if you need to.

  • you are the man! i was about to throw my cell out the window!

  • @rischonw You are welcome. Just out of curiosity, what actually happened that required safe mode?

  • Woah woah wee wah, you just saved me several hours worth of re-installing apps (ADB wouldn't work for me for some retarded reason)

    Mind if I repost this video in listed mode? It is very helpful to others.

  • @stevles Sure, although I got it back in listed mode now - not sure why I had changed it
