can you get to the performance page (/admin/config/development/performance)? if you can get there, try clearing cache and see if that helps.

And there might be some good tips in the following threads:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/134314

And you can probably follow Moshe's advice here:
http://groups.drupal.org/node/77118

Or you could try adding a bit of php within your index.php page, such as:

variable_set('maintenance_mode', 0);

If you try that, just open your index.php with a text editor and stick it right after the call to bootstrap. I just tested and it works. If you set it to 1, it puts the site in maintenance mode. Then you can take care of whatever caused this issue and try commenting out that line (leave it for dire situations, ... i.e. if this should re-occur).

Hope that helps. :-)

See you at the Drupalcon!

I had the same issue and solved it by changes the file permissions for the settings.php file through FTP. Change the settings to 755 and the site should come out of maintance mode on all browser types.

I just updated our client site form Drupal7.37 to Drupal7.38 after updating this issue came into picture i.e. "site in maintenance mode even though NOT in maintenance mode"

Those who are facing such issue Clear Cache it Helped me.
