Its one of those 3rd party pornography app that got installed on the phone and theirs no way to uninstall it on safe mode.

You factory reset while on safe mode

You don't need recovery either, just factory reset while on your phone. Go to settings>Then Backup and Reset>Factory reset and your set

And that's all you have to do and your problem is solved

AndroidJD · Dec 25, 2014

SuperRooter · Dec 25, 2014

I'm sorry I thought it was gonna work

Where exactly are you having the problem?
Can you boot in safe mode?
Can you get into settings?
Apps?
Can you find the porn app?
