Hi There,
To get out of safe mode, do a firmware update from your PC. This will install the latest firmware and your configuration. Safe mode is a bootstrap designed to recover from firmware corruption issues so about the only thing it knows how to do is reload firmware.
However, if the remote fails to communicate with the PC when it is stuck in Safe Mode, please try the following.

1. Remove the batteries from the remote & check for any stuck buttons especially the Power button that may be causing the remote to stay in this state.
2. If it still will not apply firmware to get out of safe mode, then still without batteries hold down the #2 button while plugging into USB, and it should exit Safe Mode, and say something similar to 'Firmware Upgrade Success'. Even though it says this, still perform the Firmware upgrade since it was stuck in Safe Mode to begin with.

You can try this solution to your Harmony 550 Safe mode problem:

Harmony 550 Safe Mode Fix Safe Mode is a diagnostic tool in the Remote used for troubleshooting purposes. If the words "Safe Mode" or "Safe Mode Requested" appear on the remote, complete the following steps:

1. Ensure the Remote is in "Safe Mode Requested" by taking out the batteries, and disconnecting the remote from the USB cable.
2. Hold down the Off button and plug the remote into the USB.
3. Continue holding down the Off button for another 10 seconds. The remote should then display the words "Safe Mode Requested".
4. With the unit in "Safe Mode Requested", re-install the firmware by clicking Support on your home page.
5. Click Firmware in the Downloads section and follow the online instructions to upgrade the firmware.
6. Once the firmware upgrade is complete, click Update My Remote.
7. Insert new batteries into the remote.

Hope that helps.

I can help you with your Harmony One Remote Control.

Replacing the firmware in your Harmony One is the way to get it out of Safe Mode.

To help you make sure the firmware update is successful:

1. May I suggest you make sure you are running the latest Harmony Setup Software (V 7.7.0).
2. Replace your remote's batteries with fresh ones. It is important the remote has sufficient, unvarying power when updating firmware.

I hope that helps.

I realize this is a stupid response but I dealt harmony for a few years and most of the time removing the battery, waiting overnight and putting it back it fixed things.

If that doesnt work connect it to your computer, download the newest software and update your remote with the same settings and it will update the firmware.

Cheers,
