Exactly a week today, I updated Podcast Addict on my Alcatel One Touch M'pop 5020D. It shut down immediately I opened it. And then other apps started shutting down too. So before going to bed I restarted the cell. I woke up at dawn to realize it was stuck in bootloop. I've tried wiping the cache partition and performing a factory reset in Recovery Mode, but that hasn't helped. Fortunately or unfortunately (I'm currently in a state of confusion as to whether or not this was a good decision after all) my phone is not rooted. I therefore can not apply several options in fixing this. I'd like to know if there's any way, any medium at all, that I can boot into Safe Mode so I can uninstall the Podcast Addict. Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the disappointing news, but there is no way to boot into safe mode without USB debugging enabled and already authorized by Android, and root access or a custom recovery.
The content of the file named persist.sys.safemode must be set to 1 for the device to boot into safe mode. The file is located under /data/property, is owned by root user and is part of root group only. If only the root privileges are granted, the file can be edited.
