[@iqrashahid71]

Thx alot

[@Itjungles]

You are welcome.

[@Itjungles]

I assume you already try to take the battery out for a minute and put it back it. I guess if all else fail, you will have to reset the device.

[@monkeykid2010]

was I the only one who was watching this on my phone, and turned it off while watching it?

[@Itjungles]

haha, you should see it completely before going ahead with the instruction or at least watch it on the PC.

[@Bawskee]

Uhhm no :)

[@octimuspreme]

thanks

[@270trevon]

It does not work even after I tried the steps it's still in safe mode and I haven't downloaded anything yet on it

[@veronikamayawibowo4569]

Oh my, thanks , i thought something was wrong with my phone

[@mixfashionista5083]

If you restart does data get lost

[@Itjungles]

If you are playing a game or using an app, make sure you save first before restarting. Otherwise your other data will not be lost.

[@Bossboy577]

thankyo yhankyou workson duos too

[@heamrob]

When I press my power button, it shuts off. No option to restart

[@Itjungles]

Yes it does.

[@briennaash90]

Thanks it off safemode now :)

[@Psythik]

Doesn't work. Phone still boots in safe mode. Know of any other way to disable it?

[@Itjungles]

Did you take out the battery for 30 seconds and put it back in?

[@TheGreatWhiteNorthEx]

Didn't work for me! What did work was (1) Shut phone OFF (2) Remove Battery (3) Re-install Battery (4) Reboot! - Normal!

[@salekantoz.p]

oy ma man i didnt understand how to bring it back to da NORMAL MODE. !!!!! someone plz plz plz help me out here.

[@Itjungles]

Try take out the battery for a few minutes and then put it back in.

[@Itjungles]

Sorry to hear of your mishap, I hope it's still in one piece.

[@bazmania1000]

could be an app doing it

[@reybendelrosario6480]

Why it still there??

[@Itjungles]

Try to take out the battery for a few minutes and put it back in.

[@Itjungles]

If it still doesn't work then post a question here for another solution:

[@Itjungles]

Is your phone in Safe Mode? Try to call your network carrier for assistance.

[@jeanietong93]

It doesn't work for me :((

[@hithimbodes4095]

I cant just turn it off and on again and again

[@Itjungles]

Maybe you have to take out the battery and wait for 30 seconds, then put it back in again.

[@johneskandar4257]

just if you wanna exit, restart

[@scarletwilson2562]

-_- my volume down button is pushed in and stuck,

[@flamedragontoh3643]

Me too

[@scarletwilson2562]

Yeah the people at bestbuy could fix it unless the sent it in for like $40 then there would he a repair fee so the guy suggested getting a new one so I traded it in

[@Itjungles]

You are welcome Briennaash90.

[@mquell1hb]

Im not going to restart my device thats insane

[@Itjungles]

Restarting your device take no more than 20 to 30 seconds, and you do not loose any data what so ever.

[@Itjungles]

Restarting the device is not the same as resetting the device.

[@bazmania1000]

i had to remove an app to make it work

[@Itjungles]

No it will not erase anything Jaydee.

[@olivermacahilo292]

Too much exhibition. ..... just remove the memory card as its almost full aready.... feel free to argue but it works for me.....

[@briennaash90]

[@Itjungles]

Hi Russell, there are few ways of doing it. One of the way to do it is to remove the battery, as already mentioned in the video description.
