LS670 is stuck in safe mode
My phone got a little wet. I've seen safemode before and deactivated it once in the past but I forgot how I did it.
I've tried
-rebooting the phone
-leaving the battery out
-holding down 'power off' on screen and waiting for options (none came up)
-holding down vol up/down while powering on the device
I CAN get into the phone diagnostics by holding home and volume up/down at same time while phone is booting but the only options I see is update and reset the device (which erases all apps and defaults the phone).
Can someone help me get out of safe mode?
Update (09/10/2017)
I successfully did a wipe and restore and the safemode was gone... but after restarting the phone the safemode came back.
I also notice I can use the camera but sometimes while recording the camera stops recording and puts me back on the desktop.
All other apps seem to work except during a few instances while playing chiptunes or mp3s, the phone has restarted.
There have also been a few restarts from pressing certain hardware buttons at certain times as well.
Looks like the water damage might be deeper than I thought.
It works fine otherwise though.
I read another website and one guy claimed he just used alcohol on the connectors inside the phone and he got it up and running normally out of safemode again.
I wonder if that will solve this?
Does anyone have any advice?
Update (09/11/2017)
I took the phone apart and cleaned it with alcohol and it worked better. Safe mode was off for awhile and the camera did work flawlessly for a full 30 minutes. It's minor water damage though, the phone needs some maintenance. After restarting the phone safemode did come back again.
Hoping to figure it out or replace it soon.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Hi John Weed, what do you mean by "a little wet"?

Hello. Thanks for your reply.
I dropped it into some grass and it sat through the dew over a night or two. The phone is fully functional though. It charges and shows touchable display.
I just can't seem to get it out of safe mode, even after a factory reset through options, and next a factory reset through system recovery, neither worked.
I'm at a loss.
