Hi,
My Sony Xperia Arc S (LT18a) has been stuck in SAFE MODE, i.e. none of the apps installed explicitly from Google Store are showing up. Only the ones those are default with the handset are working. Apart from this, the phone is working perfectly fine.
Though, the Menu key isn't working at all.
About 2 weeks back, it started with flickering of the menu options as if the menu key has been stuck. So I restarted my phone and since than it is in safe mode.
NOTE: The phone was bought from US and is currently being used in India since around 1 year. Also, the phone was upgraded to ICS using Sony PC companion.
Here are the things that I've tried:
1. Taking the battery out for sometime and than trying rebooting.
2. Rebooting the phone with Volume Down key.
3. Rebooting the phone with Volume Up key.
4. Rebooting the phone with Back key.
5. Reseting the phone to Factory Settings
and ...
6. Taking it to SONY Service Centre.
NONE of the above has been a success.
The Sony Service Centre guys kept the phone for 3 days and I guess that they must have checked the hardware for any faults, but didn't reported any. They updated/flashed the software and the phone started working (NOTE: they MENU key also started working in normal mode, so it might not be a hardware issue) but its again going back in the Safe Mode. And they don't know why. Moreover they told that USB cable is not detecting my phone, so it took them more time to flash it. Since they couldn't help further and they returned it back.
(The phone is getting detected by USB on my machine though)
Am I left with any other options that I could try? Any help would be great.
Somebody asked me to Try the Update Service executable from Sony website.. Will let you guys know if it worked.
I'm not sure about India's laws, but in certain countries, law says, that if the repair is not finished and problem still exists, you may proceed to file a complaint against them towards certain agency. As I said, I am not sure, if such things exist outside EU.
Now, if you said that Menu button does not work even after repair nor flashing firmware, then it is hardware level issue, which means you can not do anything about it.
Well, first of all many thanks for your reply.
The law do exists over here too, but since this was bought from US and I tried to get it repaired with the Indian service center; they might not consider it as case an International warranty (or support) kind of a thing.
My model is LT18a (a for America), where as their International version of Arc S is said be as LT18i. Not sure if I can file any complaint for this.
I'll check that scenario.
BTW, I think you missed it:
"They updated/flashed the software and the phone started working (NOTE: they MENU key also started working in normal mode, so it might not be a hardware issue) but its again going back in the Safe Mode."

Phone goes into Safe Mode only, if Menu button is pressed during boot. If you are not pressing it, it is hardware level issue, because it does detect the press, although not being pressed.
Well, I'll ask the Service Center guys to give it another try with the hardware thing (which might be the root cause of it), but was just curious to know how things became normal (for a while) when they flashed my phone?

Flash it with stock firmware using flashtools. if it is hardware error cant help. if not flashing always helps
Hi guys! I want to send my Nexus 7 (2013) to warranty service because it's bricked and I think the motherboard is destroyed. Will the service understand that the device is unlocked (bootloader) and rooted?
I could be wrong so wait for confirmation from someone else but if it won't even power on I don't think they would know, however if it powers on as far as the white Google logo you can see it is unlocked by the white padlock that is opened at the bottom, or closed lock for locked boot loader.
Sounds like it won't power on though if the main board is dead so I doubt they could know...
If it helps i had an iphone 4 that i jailbroke and it ended up bricked. It wouldnt connect to the computer or anything else. I had the same worry you have and when it was sent off i thought theyd find out. They didnt, and i got a replacement. If it doesnt connect to a computer they just dismantle them for parts. A repair engineer is more expensive to employ than a few idiots with screw drivers.
May be I am wrong about the mainboard. Yeah, I can turn it on, but I can go only to boatloader. It can be connected to computer (only fastboot mode) and there is unlocked padlock.
I guess need to lock the bootloader. But the device does not see any space (free or used) - I was connected it to computer and used a recovery mode with Skipsoft application. May be the memory is dead. It shows that cannot mount any partition. I don't know. Is there any way to lock the bootloader?
I am guessing you used Wug's root toolkit to unlock. I have seen others relock there's when there has been problems similar to yours, maybe check his thread out and ask in there.
Yep, I used his toolkit. But I tried every button in the application but nothing worked. I'll try to search deeper. I'm so afraid because I bought the device 1 month ago.

Yeah I know the feeling
I am always worried about devices failing but after I have had it for about a year I wont be so scared and will take more risks with it usually. Only had mine for around 2 weeks and am also worried it could go off at anytime as mine is unlocked and rooted. Lots of people seem to have had problems with this device, my Xperia S never had problems

Try this... http://www.android.gs/restore-un-br...4-3-jelly-bean-twrp-and-root-guides-included/
It might at least get it locked for you....
Thank you! I will try that as soon as I go home...
This is pretty much what danvee posted but still..
If you can use fastboot that's a good sign. You probably don't even need to send it in. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469508&highlight=stock
You say something about no space? If the above link doesn't get you running again try this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380913 Worked for me.
You can just flash twrp with "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img"(without quotes), wipe, then use the steps in the first link.
If that doesn't work it probably is some kind of hardware problem.
I just locked the bootloader. I used the command fastboot oem lock and there is no padlock now. Also Lock state changed to locked. I think now I can return the tablet in the shop.

heres a funny story but what it resulted in and how i fixed it seem to apply to the problem you have.
i have a cracked screen on my nexus and it was registering a touch at intermittent intervals making the device unusable. i posted in here about the same time you did for help. while i was waiting to see if anyone knew if i could just disconnect the screen and use a bluetooth mouse with a hdmi adapter (slimport not mhl, thanks meekrawb) i connected a usb mouse with an otg cable. the mouse worked but i couldnt see how to turn off touch screen as an imput. as kitkat has been release and i hadnt updated i thought i would give it a try and see if that would reset the screen and stop the touch. It downloaded the update and when it rebooted it opened up a mod recovery screen (i forgot that i had rooted it). it asked me to slide a bar on the bootloader screen to continue. The usb mouse cursor was not present on this screen and the touch screen doesnt work so i couldnt get past it. i turned the device off and on again (what else do you do when your stuck) and it would open the google screen with the unlocked padlock but then just stay on a completely black screen. same as yours. I connected it to the computer and it recognised it. i opened wugfresh's root tool kit (old apple jb's sometimes had recovery abilities built into them so i thought this may aswell) i clicked on flash stock and unroot with the radial button on soft bricked and followed the instructions. now my device is unbricked and even the touch has stopped. Happy days hey. you'll need to unlock your boot loader again but its worth a try before going to the store, you can always lock the bootloader again if it doesnt work.
i know it didnt need all this to say "connect it to the root tool kit and try that" but i thought you would enjoy a laugh
Funny story. But my issue is hardware. The device doesn't show any space in it. No free nor used. I think the memory is dead. Also I relocked the bootloader, but now I cannot unlock it again because there is no space
Now when the tablet is with locked bootloader, it is unrooted, right?
Tommorow I will visit the warranty service and hope they don't understand about rooting and unlocking.
according to an email from "google play support India" , the device will be accepted under warranty as long as it has a stock firmware installed when you send in the device to claim the warranty.
Can't load into recovery or system, only fastboot mode. In fastboot, I get these errors:
https://imgur.com/a/bBdbnvH
It was previously unlocked until I tried flashing the recent December update.
Any ideas on how to get it back up an running? I haven't seen Secure boot: NONE and NOS Production: Error posted on here before or a state where it can't determine if it's locked or unlocked. I'll try ubreakifix otherwise. Thanks!

Don't start a duplicate thread dude! Starting to sound like a Google FRP workaround to me. What does Google support say??
Same here (with Pixel 3 non-xl).
I don't know what to do. Recovery doesn't work, only fastboot mode with "device state: error!" .
Bootloader is locked, and I have no way of unlocking it, because fastboot times out.
It happened shortly after I took it in the shower (it's never a problem). Maybe it's not that waterproof.
Google support says the phone is probably done, but they can't help with the warranty because apparently I got scammed buying it second-hand, the invoice doesn't match the IMEI.

I might be a bit late, but I had exactly the same issue, lost hope and all. I have tried multiple chargers and cables but nothing helped.
How I fixed it is:
1) Left the phone on in fastboot mode, until the battery died (unplugged obviously).
2) Left the phone unplugged for about 8h.
3) In the morning, keep pressed power button and plugged in the charger.
4) After few seconds it started up.
Hope this is helping you guys.
This just happened to me. Has the problem returned on you? Assuming I can get it to boot again, I'm wondering if I should do a factory reset to give myself a fresh start and clear out whatever software issue may be causing it, if it is a software issue.
Thanks fixed it
Thanks NathanTan...
It fixed my issue. I left it overnight with fastmode displayed. After it ran out of battery powered on and boom phone was back to normal. I never thought it will sort without replacing handset. Thank you
Hey guys. Please help. I am facing this issue in Pixel 5a now.
Only the end user can set the user-settable root of trust. It cannot be set at the factory or any other point before the device is delivered to the end user.

Hi, I recently bought this new phone (Galaxy A50) from the official Samsung Store (11/7). The phone came with a software version:
PDP: A505FDDU1ASBD
CSC: ASB7
Security Patch: 1 February 2019
After sometime, I decided to start rooting my Galaxy A50 following the steps in a thread on XDA (created by @geiti94). Unlocked my bootloader and rebooted to the system, I setup the phone without my Samsung and Google Acc, and I switched off the phone then entered the download mode. I put the TWRP Magisk Patched file at the AP section in Odin and unticked everything except Flash Lock. Warranty void (Knox tripped). Everytime I restarted the device, I have to boot rooted with Magisk (Recovery) or else I will lose magisk. It turned out to be true and bricked my device:
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be installed".
I then downloaded the stock firmware files (ASBD) from Sammobile.com and reflashed it back to the device. Success flashing stock without any problem then I set up the device, plugged in and went to sleep. I didnt know what did happen while I was sleeping and when I woke up, my phone had the OVERHEATING WARNING (device was hot) and the system was already switched off my device automatically. I took off my phone casing and I found out that my phone casing was wet. I didnt know where the water came from and I didn't even know when it got there. I'd never thought that the water could flow into the phone since it was very little. I switched on my device without hesitation. Right after it switched on, moisture has been detected in my usb port. I switched on the device and took out my sim card and ext mmc, I put it in front of the fan and let it sit for like 5 hours. The phone was okay. Phone rebooted normally and I didnt face any unusual behavior from my device.
Within 30 minutes of using the phone, I received Device Overheating Warning again, apps were closing and device was shutting down (physically the device wasn't really hot). It was warm. I let it cool and I received no more overheating warning. Suddenly, the device was being abnormal. It went to:
1. Screen locked itself and display lockscreen. I unlocked it back and it locked itself back. It happens frequently.
2. Screen locked itself and display lockscreen and the screen will on off like something was playing with the power button. It got crazier when I tried to charge the device, the 'display on off' went faster. Then, i could no longer use my power button to unlock since device didnt let me get to my unlock screen.
When it happened, I couldnt shut down my device using the normal way. I had to hold my power button and (-) volume button to restart my device. Device rebooted, 3 minutes and it went strange again.
I was frustrated and clueless. Went into safe mode and getting the same result. I tried reflashing the firmware again and it was being normal until i finished device setup then it happened again. I thought it happened because I tripped my Knox.
Tried different method. This time I downloaded and flashed stock firmware (A505FDDU2ASH3).
PDP: A505FDDU2ASH3
CSC: A505FDDU2ASH1
Security Patch: 21 August 2019
And same issues occured. This time:
1. From getting locked itself and display will 'on off', this time it eventually went locked itself (noticed 'screen lock sound') and nothing i could do to unlock it because the power button had no function! But I could reboot manually by holding (-) volume and power button! Stock recovery mode everything was okay. Display, power button and volume up and down button is okay. No issue in that mode.
2. Attempted factory reset and tried setting up again. Right after it displayed 'Phone is starting' it locked itself again. Reboot again. I quickly swiped my finger trying to not let it locked itself again. It worked and prevented the device from locking again. I realized that my UI didnt respond when I used the volume button to increase/decrease the volume. Power button only responded to lock screen and didnt respond to unlock it back but the device was still on.
Since Knox had tripped, I tried another solution. I rooted the device just like how I done it before. I still believed that it was firmware error not caused by any faulty in my hardware component. I installed TWRP w Magisk Patched, multidisabler, and flashed a stable custom kernel (SkyKernel V1.2 by @AlexGeek3) that worked w my device, and yes device worked normally. Magisk installed. Safety net verified. I disabled some pre installed Samsung Apps and Services (e.g. Find My Mobile and screen lock service) that maybe would be the caused. Just when I set up my Google Acc, the issues occured again. When I checked my CPU and battery temperature using kernel tweaker (installed alongside SkyKernel V1.2) and noticed that the temperature reading was so high (70°C-90°C) but device wasnt even hot. This had become very strange ?
Then I decided to bring it to the mobile repair shop. He said it may happened when I downloaded the firmware files using Mobile Data, so the files downloaded weren't accurate since the network is unstable and told me to bring it to the Samsung Service Center. Then I tried to get help from Samsung Official:
1. Chat through Live Support: He told me that Sammobile.com wasn't authorized by Samsung. He told me that maybe hardware faulty issues because it had contact with water. Told me to bring it to Samsung Service Centre.
2. Called Samsung Hotline: She told me it happened when device had been root. And nothing I could do to unroot it back and asked me to go to Service Center instead.
3. Called Samsung Hotline: He told me that it might occured since I downloaded the files using Mobile Data and even that I had successfully flashed the firmware, the problems existed because the downloaded files had corrupt. He told me to just go to official service centre and tell them to flash the official stock firmware and check if the issues persisted.
4. Called Samsung Hotline: He told me since device had been rooted, warranty was voided and there would be NO WAY TO UNROOT THE DEVICE. Hence, I would have to replace the motherboard to be able to use the device again.
Each time I called the hotline, I spoke to a different staff. I explained thoroughly to each of them the issues I was currently facing at the moment and how/when it started to occur. All of them had a different explanation and the same solution. I called them again & again because I wanted to find the most least solution I could find to the major solution to fix the device. I was trying to make sure if the issues still happen after clean flash install official stock firmware, only then I will take further actions to check on my hardware.
Concluded myself to bring it to the Samsung Service Center and flash the official stock firmware for my device. (60 Km away from my place). I called them a day before going to the SSC to ask about the process and cost to do it. Next day I went to the SSC. Cut it short, I explained to the staff from the beginning. I wasnt really satisfied because she didnt pay attention to what I was explaining. And because of that, she printed out the agreement and asked me to sign it. I read it patiently and I was confused when I looked at the Details of Problems section and my warranty status was still VALID but device stated that my Warranty was already voided ?
Problems: Phone can't switched on. Scratch on the side housing. Water damaged.
I looked at her again and asked her if she really confirm about the problems. She said that the technician will check the hardware and told me to wait an hour for them to check the hardware. She called me again within 1 hour and I was really disappointed by the fact that they said my hardwares were water damaged and the repair cost is 3/4 the price if I buy a new same device. If that would be the cost, it would really better if I just buy a new phone ? I disagreed for it and asked if they could reflashed the official firmware for my device. She said yes but my warranty status will be discontinued, and they would take no responsibility if the problem still occured. But if I agree w them to repair it and pay 3/4 for the replacement, my warranty will be extended ? such a an idiotic way to make your customer pay you such costs.
W/out further due I told them to reflash/clean installation full official firmware for my device and they kept repeating the same thing again that they took no responsibility blablabla and I just nah just do it la haih ? and ended the call.
Arrived SSC later after 30 mins, I thought that they had done the job. No. Another disappointment, most stupidest reason that I had to accept from them. They were telling me that if I flash the official firmware, my warranty will be voided and they take no responsibility for it. What the heck? I already allowed them to do so, and that was the reason why I came to the SSC, and even my warranty was voided because I had tried customization using unauthorized firmware for my device. I asked them to take a picture of my device hardware or maybe bring it to me because I wanted to have a look at it but they denied my request (That repair cost is to replace new motherboard, new usb charging port, new lcd display and new battery).
Exhausted, angry, and disappointed by them, I requested them once again to flash the official firmware and I didn't care about what would happen afterwards. They told me to wait a couple minutes until their technician completed the flashing process. Such an utter bull****, they told me that my device couldn't being detected by the PC since my USB Port was damaged. I took the device, left with frustration. I have wasted my time, energy and money and didn't even get what I wanted.
To sum up everything:
Samsung Service Centre:
1. SSC: Phone couldnt boot/switched on.
Truth:
But even until today I still can switch on my device.
2. SSC said the charging port had been damaged but until today I still can charge the phone. Its only couldn't be charged when it is switched on because device will detect overheating and stopped the charging progress.
3. SSC: Charging port is damaged so USB data transfer to the PC cannot be used. PC won't detect device.
Truth:
But still, up until this day I could still make a data transfer, flash firmware using odin.
4. SSC: LCD Display is damaged thats why it doesnt display correctly.
But recovery mode and download mode didnt have the same issues only. Issues happen when device boot the system.
Firmware:
1. Firmware wasn't downloaded correctly using Mobile Data.
2. Security services provided by Google and Samsung could be the reason.
3. Knox had tripped (e-fuse) and forced the firmware to crush itself causing damage to the system. (I am not sure abt this, based on what I had read)
4. Replace a new motherboard because the current motherboard could no longer be used after device has been rooted (?)
Hardware:
1. The water may have caused little damaged to the hardware.
2. Flex cable connectors (LCD Connector, Charging Connector, Power/Volume Connector) need to be replaced.
3. Check the CPU and properly apply a thermal paste and check if the problems solved.
Any help is really helpful and appreciated ???

Hi,
A sensor will probably have been damaged, since the A50 does not have any IP protection in that case I cannot help you
hi guys
I need help. I have a galaxy a50 with firmware version as A505FDDS9CUI4(android 11) but recently after an OTA update I have started getting issue where in the device restarts automatically and sometimes even gets stuck in the booting process. So I thought of downgrading the device for fix but I am not able to downgrade as the firmware that I wanna downgrade to, is A505FDDS7BUB5(android 10) and the binary number for both the firmwares is different so I am getting error in odin. So if I root my phone and install custom recovery(TWRP) and flash custom rom, will it work? or will it get bricked in the process? is there any way that can fix this issue because as of now samsung has not recognised this issue officially and many other samsung device owners of A and M series are facing this issue. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks.
So my phone is stuck on this issue. I haven't done anything wrong. My phone was just peacefully charging then the phone switches off by itself then the bootloop happened.
This showed on the screen:
dm-verity corruption
your device is corrupt.
it can't be trusted and my not work properly.
press enter button to continue.
Or, device will power off in 5s.
(written in white)
Although it does turn off by itself if I ignore it, after I turn it on again and press enter or power button it boot until lockscreen and if I try to do something like unlocking, scrolling down notifs bar, and sliding through different page on home screen it will turn off again. It seem like it's crashing. The thing is I am not trying to root or flash something. I haven't done anything on my phone. I only have one phone and I badly need your help. I hope wiping or reformatting the phone is my last resort. My phone is updated to Android 11 and lateset MIUI (provided by the system itself and not downloaded somewhere). Thank you.
Well seems like something is corrupt.
It reboots when you touches the screen(or do anything)?

It's more like it turns itself off again and if I try to press again power button if the problem show again, same thing happen. Sometimes MIUI logo appears and shuts down again it can't even go to lock screen.
Is there any chance you can unlock it?
It seems like your internal storage is corrupted.

At some point I did manage to unlock it but it happened only once and when I tried to open the notifs by scrolling down or tried to different part of homescreen it just shuts down. After that, it can't even go to the lockscreen after reboot. It's a never ending cycle. I can go to fastboot mode but I don't know if I can do miracle with that.
Well immediately plug into a computer and pull photos amd videos from it if you get it unlocked.

Do you think service center can help me with this or they'll probably just say to replace the phone if a bad chip is the case?
Maybe they will replace the motherboard with some fee. Or they will try to convince you to buy a new fancy phone just purely because xiaomi could earn more.
Thats all about luck (and problem is on xiaomi side, not your fault)

He probably doesn't have his bootloader unlocked.
Fastboot OEM unlock wont work as oem unlock is probably not enabled in settings dev options.

Do you guys think I need to go to the service center because I don't know what to do. I really don't want to brick my phone. But a while ago my phone booted. I set it up just like buying a new phone but after I finished setting up, I just wait for the phone to catch up because I was afraid the phone will just shut down suddenly. And then, it happened again the phone shut downs without me doing anything. Now I tried to boot it up again but it is currently stuck at Redmi logo (plus "powered by android" at the bottom").

SPFT enables when phone is a brick, so there's no need in service center.
they will flash it like we are going to do
Help, does anyone know how to fix dm-verity corruption? I was using my tab normally, then it suddenly shuts down and this error keeps popping up whenever my device boots. It goes on a loop unless I press the power button again.
