I tried the recommended remedy but it doesn't work. My phone won't go into Safe mode. The screen just turns black and then goes back to the LG screen. This phone came from Boost with Marshmallow 6.0. Boost sent a Nougat 7.0 upgrade which I installed. The phone wirked but was quirky and now this happened. HELP !

If it won't go into "Safe Mode" then your options are to either do a "Hard Reset", which will wipe the device and then bring it back to what it was originally (before you used it), contact the manufacturer or carrier/service provider (if it is under warranty) or try a local tech.

NOTE: Doing this will clear 'all' the data on your phone, so it is suggested you not choose this option unless you have to, or aren't worried about losing anything on the device.

Be sure you back up any data you want to keep, to a computer or cloud account, before doing the reset.
