Help Can't remove safe mode

[Blowfelt]

Hi guys

I hope someone can help with this as i've no idea whats going on...

A few days ago i got a samsung galaxy ace from a friend at work for free. The digitizer was cracked and the battery was holding a charge of about 5 minutes so naturally i got a new batt and digi from the net. They've been installed without problems and work nicely. The phone is PAYG and was originally O2. I am using an old T-mobile sim and again it works with no problems without having to unlock it. The only thing is i cannot get the phone out of safe mode, no matter what i try.

I did the usual: take the battery out for a few minutes, reset to factory settings, remove the sim and SD cards... everything. And yet it is still stuck in safe mode.

I havnt done much research into it, but does it need flashed/rooted?

any tips on how to sort this out is much appreciated, as its a nice wee phone and i want to have full functionality.

Thanks

After nearly a day of messing around i got it working.

Ended up i had to root the phone, THEN pull the battery out for a few seconds. so much hassle and such a small solution.

no safe mode, and apps work now!

in case anyone else has the same problem and cant sort it, here's the website i used.
