HTC One X will only boot in safe mode?

Hey all,

Preface: I'm a novice Android user, so my phone isn't rooted or any of that good stuff.

I installed about 7 app updates yesterday. Prior to doing that, my phone was working just fine. Restarted my phone this morning and it booted into Safe Mode. I'm assuming this happened because I accidentally hit the Vol Down key while rebooting.

Well, several (a dozen) reboots later... avoiding the volume keys... my phone still boots in Safe Mode.

Does this imply that one of the App updates was bad or corrupt? If yes, do I have to go in and roll-back one by one and reboot until it's resolved?

Or is it a larger problem with my phone? I just want my phone to boot normally, darn it!

Thanks in advance,

Joe

Google told me that if you turn your phone OFF, then press and hold the power button until the three capacitive buttons blink and the phone turns off again. Then power on like normal.
