Recently when using phone, I think it was accidentially placed into ’emergency mode’, having not seen that screen before, it was ignored out of fear it was spam. Samsung A20s then would show a screen on boot up, but then disappear w/in a couple seconds. Previously I could touch the power button and get a few seconds of viewing, but then back to black – hence, I could never navigate far enough to do reset method 1 or 2…method 3 is apparently not available either (settings or offline or whatever). Now, it stays black. Occasionally I hear the incoming message tones, and can see drive via USB, but always black. Any suggestions?
