Could you perhaps mean Download Mode? Recovery Mode?

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but did your sk4g start to act up and lock more often after the update?

I have had that happen, it's kinda like safe mode on a computer it's when your launcher crashes unexpectedly. I rebooted and it went back to normal if that doesn't work for her then switch to a different launcher and remove then reinstall the launcher she wants

You literally see "safe mode" in the bottom right hand corner of your screen, I dunno what is disabeled during it but it is annoying when it happens
