Nexus One Booting to Safe Mode

[mpmilestogo]

Somehow, my new nexus one now boots to the boot loader and following that to safe mode. Blue light glows and I cannot figure out how to take it out safe mode. What are the key combos to get it to boot normally and is there a way to stop it always booting to the boot loader first? Don't quite get what I did with my fat clumsy fingers.

How did you geet into safemode?

Good question. Had the phone in my hands and suddenly the trackball started going blue. I powered off the phone and now it goes into safe mode only and only with some coaxing. Has to be operator stupidity. Still trying to figure out exactly what I did since I was doing a conference call for work at the same time. It did not seem in retrospect I did anything unusual but the trackball thing glowing blue was a new touch. To go into safe mode, some stuff mentions holding the menu key down while it boots. I gather that its a one-time thing and that normally after the one boot you get back to full featured mode.

It appears that the trackball is faulty on my phone. It no longer does much of anything. Perhaps I screwed it up or it was just bad. Going to send it back I guess.

According to this page, http://www.friendskorner.com/forum/f56/nexus-one-tips-tricks-159691/
you must have pressed the trackball after boot started while the logo was up. I would try the reverse and press teh trackball after booting (as opposed to at the same time) and see if that works.
Good Luck

That is correct, hold the trackball after the booting process has already started to get into safe mode.

It Lives!

Yes, the blue trackball of death was averted. By some cosmic accident of fate, my Nexus One decided to come back. I think I must have splonked on the trackball when it was booting. Then after splonking, I just screwed the pooch even worse by punching buttons, fat fingering things, etc. No wonder I run Ubuntu on my computers. I could really screw up Windows given half a chance
