Help - Locked safe mode topic

Hi there. Im Dante, from Argentina.
I own a LG G2, for a year now, and I never had a problem. Never installed a mod, just the stock configuration. Yesterday the phone screen got stuck out of nowhere, so I had to reset it holding the power button. When it reseted, it entered safe mode and now I can't get it out. I reseted several times, uninstalled apps and I did a software factory reset. Nothing, it still starts in safe mode.
I tried to do a hardware factory reset but when it asks to confirm by pressing the power button, nothing happens when I press it.
It's getting to my nerves and I don't know what to do.

Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Returning to complete locked /stock from CM11 BigPart topic

This is my first post as I have been an avid XDA lurker but I wanted to get some community advice before I potentially brick my Xoom.

I am currently running CM11 Wingray with TWRP 2.6.3 BigPart R.A.H.05 Edition and want to unroot my Xoom, return it to stock OS / Recovery, and re-lock the bootloader. I have found many ADB tutorials in this community http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1468298 as well as some youtube tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT8NF-_nLCo. My concern is all of the tutorials are from the pre-KitKat days and would potentially not account for the new partitions required.

So my question is, do these tutorials re-partition my Xoom just fine or will I end up bricking my device since my new partitions would no longer work with the old stock roms?

Thank you for the advice.

[Softbricked] HTC ONE MINI TAMPERED LOCKED SECURITY WARNING S-ON topic

Hi all, first time in this forum and i hope someone would save me!

I have an HTC One Mini 2

i'm **TAMPERED** **LOCKED** **SECURITY WARNING** and S-ON
so from hboot and fastboot i can't do anything (also enter in recovery mode)

via usb in hboot i can use fastboot command but not adb command (for that i have to turn on my device which restart in 30 secs so it's very hard)
in that way no fastboot command works always say security warning failure or something like that

as far as i can understand
i have to get it back to stock state but for doing that i need a RUU (fastboot flash is useless and as i sayed i can't do anything with adb in fastboot mode) with the same version of my device (correct?)

in order to do that i have downloaded from htc the mem_ul source to compile with AOSP but on the phone there aren't the proc/
config.gz file and i'm stucked here.

these are the fastboot getvar all instruction.

(bootloader) version: 0.5

Please help me you would be my hero!

p.s. i'm now using other ruu.exe and changing the rom inside with one of correct version but if not signed it don't allow me to unbrick

[Q] Knock Code locked broke screen topic

Hello All
I have a VS985 G3. I dropped it flat on the face and shattered the glass. I have a replacement ordered will be here tomorrow. I have a backup on my device and can access twrp using power and volume keys.

The problems begin here. I can not interact with the phone via the touchscreen to do another backup to my external sd. I can not for the life of me get my device recognized by adb. I can not transfer the current backup to my computer either because with the phone locked, I guess it wont read the storage on the phone, Cant unlock because welll I cant interact with screen. I have sdk installed and done so correctly because that is how I rooted this device to begin with. I know ADB was enabled in settings also. Yes path is correct to (C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices #
Usage: adb devices [-l]
C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices [-l]
Usage: adb devices [-l] ) is all I can get.

I downloaded LG USB drivers from LG site and still no dice on being recognized by ADB through command prompt.

My original thought was to disable the knock code through ADB ( dont even know if it possible)???
Second I thought I might be able to get my backup done through twrp but cant interact with screen to change storage location to external SD in TWRP. Im lost and dont know what to do from here.

[Q] locked? topic

So my wife bought this unlocked sph-L720. Checked the IMEI online and it said the device was clear with Sprint, and was not blacklisted. So after we leave she factory resets the device, which royally f's it. When it restarted, the baseband version, imei, meid, all the information aside from the model number and android version were unavailable in the setting menu. no wifi would work. had no sim card for the device. After looking online for a solution I just flashed the sprint stock firmware for the model number and andriod version with Odin to restore the phone back to normal. Now sprint says they wont unlock the phone because a past balance owed on the phone. I just want to be able to use the thing on verizon. Is there anything I can do?

[Q] Reversing Bootloader to locked topic

Hi guys,
I just updated my HTC M8(european) to Lollipop and after updating i hardreset the phone, which caused that all my photos and videos are wiped out. As I understood, undeleting files requires access to root and rooting is not possible without unlocking the bootloader. As I found out, it is only possible to unlock the bootloader by the HTC provided token and my question is:
1) is it possible to re-lock the bootloader as the original?
2) if re-locking requires S-OFF, is there any other option then the 25 USD sunshine?

Thanks in advance!

[Q] ZOPO ZP998 passcode locked topic

Hi everybody,
First, I want to apologize if I put this thread in a wrong section. I'm a rookie in smartphone world. I did do the search before I posted but I couldn't find the answer.
I have a big problem with my ZOPO. Its a pass-code locked. Did I do it? I really dont know. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. The problem occurred when I came back to my country. I've changed the sim card and since then its asking me for pass-code. I have no idea whats my pass-code is. All I see on my screen is "My Name - Please enter the Privacy Protection password to unlock" message.
Power button+Volume up button instructions, which I found here for a different model of ZOPO didn't work. It just boot to unlock screen. Only 3 physical button are there....Power, volume and camera.
Please can you help me to unlock my phone. If you need any other info, please let me know. I really hope you can help me. You would make old man very happy.
Thank you very much.
