Droid razr vol.down/ safe mode stuck

I read a lot about how I am not the only person stuck in "safe mode" because my volume down button would not cooperate. After a lengthy process I concluded that the alcohol solution logically was my most logic solution. wait I have no isopropyl alcohol so I used ronsonal lighter fluid....came in a squirt bottle and stood out in bright yellow. I merely removed back cover and with problem area (mostly) downwards for drainage cleansed safe mode away. Took 5 minutes(depends on amount of fluid used) and voilà like new I even did my charge port and headphone jack. Warranty was null and void and I did not tell you to do it, but it worked GREAT  and was easy with little drying time. Thought I should share.

Press the power off button and reboot your phone.  Should be back to normal after re-starting.  Hope this helps.

  • Droid Razr Maxx HD Boot Loop/Factory Reset

    My Droid Razr Maxx HD has been stuck in boot loop on the eye animation. I did a factory reset from the boot menu, but it is still stuck in boot loop. HELP PLEASE!

    I'm very sorry to see that your device is causing you grief! I can see that you've already attempted a factory reset. I'd like to know more about that step. When attempting to process that reset, did it appear to complete it only to return to this 'boot loop'? Can you describe what you did, and what you saw? Also, has the device been damaged or has it's operating system been fundamentally altered (rooted)?

  • Droid Razr  Maxx stuck in boot loop

         A few days ago my droid razr max essentially died . I went to my local Verizon and purchased a new device but  I have
    been  unable to recover all of the photos and other data  from the old device. I've somehow managed to get the device to turn on but it is now stuck booting and will not load past the red eye. I am wondering if there is anything that I can do to get out of the boot loop without deleting or damaging the file saved to the device.

        Chela2004,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your device not starting. We certainly want you to be able to retain the information on the phone. What exact information are you looking to extract? If you had an sd card in the old phone, pictures should be saved on their. As for contacts, those would either be saved with your google account you had with the phone, or with our application Backup Assistant plus.  You can try to run the phone in safe mode to bypass the red eye screen http://vz.to/159K41E. Please fill us in on how this works and what you are needing to move from phone to phone.
    Thank you,

  • My White Macbook is stuck at the loading screen, and disk utility, safe mode doesn't work either. What should I do?

    I went on vacation a few days ago and in El Salvador, they have this mobile broadband sticks. Well, I was using one until it gave me a network error. After that, it shut down my computer entirely. The first time it happened, I didn't think much of it. I took the battery out and put it back in for it could work. It happened another two times, and after the third time, my MacBook stays stuck at the loading screen, and it will take 5-10 minutes on that screen, before it shuts down, or it wouldn't turn on at all. I've tried booting into safe mode, but it appears to not boot into it. I've tried resetting the Pram, and using disk utility, but that still won't work. I don't know what else to do to make it boot into  OS X  Lion.
    I'm an AP student, and the majority of my work is in that computer, and it is very important! What can I do? Not only that, but I enter school in a few weeks and I need the AP work by the time I enter.
    What can I do? Can someone help?
    Thanks

    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • MacBook Pro- Stuck in safe mode!?

    Hi, I am a first-time MacBook user and need a little help...
    I am running lion software and recently performed a software update (pop-up screen general update). Since doing this, my Mac is now:
    - Only allowing me to type in Shift Mode i.e. I cannot type '1' but it types '!', '3' becomes '£', etc etc
    - Stuck in safe mode
    - Will not recognise any USB's (however i suspect this is because it's stuck in safe mode!)
    Any help would be much appreciated??? I cannot use it any more, and it makes me just want to get rid of it! :-(
    Thanks in advance....... :-)

    Try resetting the SMC - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - see the drop-down menu on "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own."
    Good luck,

  • Mac stuck in safe mode start up loop

    Hi everyone,
    it seems I have run into a problem and can't find answers online.
    First off I have a MacBook intel core duo on the latest snow leopard and mac software is up to date.
    It all started when I had to restore my iPhone and it had some problems and got stuck in dfu mode, so when I decided to reboot it I unpluged it and went to reboot and problems started. Finder kept crashing. When I started up in safe mode I decided to save some important files and when I was done the finder problems persisted even while in safe mode. When I rebooted it would start up in safe mode and the loading bar on the bottom would get about a fifth of the way and stop, it would try again and get the as far as before and then shut down.
    I tried taking out and putting back in the HD and ram as well as verbose mode. It says
    Disk0s2: I/o error
    invalid node structure
    (8, 12827)
    **the volume mac HD could not be verified completely.
    /dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) exited with signal 8
    When I decided all was hopeless I tried reinstalling the os but it got stuck on examining additional disks.
    If you need any info let me know. HUGE thanks ahead of time as I am writing this from my iPhone 2g and have a useless MacBook and dfu'd iPhone 4.

    Restart from your installer disc. Do not run the installer. Instead, from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility & run its Repair Disk step. If it can repair the HD, try reinstalling the OS again. If it cannot, you can try a more powerful (& expensive) disk repair utility like Disk Warrior, which may or may not be able to repair the damage. Otherwise, you will need to reformat the HD (losing all its data) to recover.
    You should always have a backup of your data. If you do not, it may be worth gambling on the price of Disk Warrior, but remember that there are no guarantees it can repair the damage.

  • Windows Stuck in Safe Mode - mouse won't work - need my data...

    New Mac User, well two months of trying to get it to opperate correctly. Unbelievable! I've re-installed XP SP2 too many times to count, finally had it up and thought it was running fine for the last week, then I went over to the Mac OS tried accessing windows through boot camp, it shut down the Mac OS, then when I tried to go back to boot windows directly, I received the damning <windows root> \system32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt - again.
    I've gone through a bunch of posts, tried a number of the instructions, and now have a worse issue, my computer is now stuck in safe mode with Windows, by instructions, here, I'd disabled everything for start up in Configuration Utility and checked start up in safe mode there too, so now I can't get it out of it, and since my mouse and keyboard won't opperate in safe mode, I get to the log in page to select user but the mouse just won't move and pressing "CTRL ALTDLT" no response.
    In the Recovery Counsole when I rean CHKDSK /r this is what it came back with...
    "The volume appears to contain or or more unrecoverable problems."
    97638572 kilobytes total disk space.
    90877508 kilobytes are available.
    406 bytes in each allocation unit.
    24409643 total allocation units on disk.
    22719377 allocation units available on disk.
    So what does that mean? Not sure what the " volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems" means when it's not telling me what they could possibly be. Thoughts anyone?
    If anyone knows or has some good advice on how to get windows back up and running correctly, and without wiping out my data - as I can't get it backed up, I would be tremendously grateful...
    2 months of this is really enough, dying to use my system, and praying that I can...
    Thanks so much,
    Kitti

    Here's what worked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330184
    I followed the instructions above and once I finished, After re-booting, I selected Microsoft Windows XP Professional and the System Configuration Utility came up.
    On the “General” tab, it shows that the Start Up Selection is on “Selective Startup” with everything checked, but what’s marked “Using Modified BOOT.INI
    Tried to change it to “Normal Startup – load all device drivers and services” then re-start.
    Windows came back up, but so did the System Configuration Utility and still showing that it was starting up with “Selective Startup”
    Now just need to figure out how to start it up in “Normal”, if in fact that’s possible. Will keep you posted and if anyone has any further suggestions, that would be much appreciated.
    I do hope this will help all the others that have run into the main issue, which I have found is caused by the Parallels Desktop by they way, not Microsoft, and that start having issues by getting the dreaded " hal.dll " file is missing or corrupt on a direct Boot to Windows.
    Very long and sleepless night….

  • I wanted to trouble shoot, put comupter in safe mode , now its stuck , closed FF 3 times, re-started computer, still in safe mode.how do i get out of safe mode

    Hi,
    Please see this article: [[Firefox is stuck in Safe Mode]]
    I hope that helps. Post back if not.
    --Edward
    EDIT: Just noticed that you already rebooted. You say that you "put computer in safe mode". Is firefox in safe mode or your whole computer?
    If '''Firefox''' is stuck in safe mode despite reboot
    * Check that the shift keys on your keyboard are not stuck down.
    * Uninstall firefox and install again (your settings will not be lost as they are stored in your profile folder).
    Let me know if neither of those works.

  • YT2 Pro Volume button stuck/boots into safe mode

    The Volume down button is stuck on my YT2 Pro and I think this is the reason it now only boots into safe mode.  At first I thought it was an app so I cleared the cach and uninstalled the last 3 apps.  That did not make a difference.   Stil thinking it was a application problem I did a factory reset, nope, still boots into safe mode.   Thats when I noticed that the volume down button is not working.   Anyone else have this issue?   I am calling Lenovo today, w/ the Hard Reset issues and now the volume not working, I think the tablet needs to be replaced.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you experience a problem with the volume key or button on a Yoga Tablet 2 model, please contact Lenovo Service for support.
    A solution is now available.

  • IMac just shuts down after a safe mode run

    Hi,
    Suddenly after years of 'normal' run, my iMac is booting into safe mode continuously (spinning cog and progress bar). I did a PRAM reset, made sure the shift key is not stuck, unplugged all my USB/ethernet peripherals.
    But the more curious thing is, after the progress bar finishes, my mac just shuts down ! If I restart it, I go through the whole cycle again !
    Is this a known behaviour ?
    Thanks,
    Avinash

    (editing for clarity of thread)
    Yes - just did that. Ran the Disk Utility -> Repair Disk (in Recovery mode) and I think I see the problem. It says,
    "Error : Disk Utility can't repair disk... disk, and restore your backed-up files"
    I am assuming it is asking me to restore from a time machine backup ?

  • Home Screen Stuck in Landscape!!! Droid Razr HD

    I have tried everything I can think of the auto rotate works for all apps the rotate, the auto rotate switch is on, I have tried configuring levels. I have tried all but a hard reset which I am willing to do I just don't know how and I don't want to do it if its not going to fix the problem.  The screen wont rotate in any normal phone function texting, home screen....etc...????

        Hello Jamesd5784, this is definitely out of the ordinary! Was the Razr HD connected to a dock or separate accessory that had it get stuck in landscape mode? We can place the device in safe mode first to rule out any 3rd party apps from causing it to stay stuck. Here's steps: http://vz.to/PtCCtS The last resort option would be the hard reset to get the phone back to factory settings.

  • Hp Pavillion windows 8 stuck in safe mode- no display

    My girlfriends pavillion notebook has the win 8.1 upgrade on it.  It came with win 8.  The display is broken and she has been using a monitor connected via the HDMI port.  She was having performance issues, freeze up, delayed response type stuff.  Bad enough I decided to restart in safe mode to work on it.  I did so without thinking about the HDMI port not being enabled in safe mode. It was actually a Safe mode/minimal restart. So now I can not get it out of safe mode because I have no display without the HDMI port.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I have tried a hard boot, where you take out the battery, disconnect everything and hold down the power button.  Though highly recommended several times she did not make a start up disc or recovery disc.

    Hi
    Please refrain from using caps! looks like you are shouting.
    You say that your machine is stuck in safe mode. when you boot does it go straight there?
    Good read on accessing the advanced options and repairing your machine.

        MrMJG,
    Let's get your phone back up and running. Have you been able to try to press and hold the volume down and the power button at the same time for approximately 10 seconds? The phone should reboot for you. Is there any kind of physical or liquid damage to the device? Please keep me posted.
