I recently purchased an Optimus T and rooted it with z4root and then installed Titanium Backup to delete some of the preinstalled apps, like the Pacman Demo.
As I was removing each app, (~5 at this point) the Home button suddenly stopped working, followed by total phone death. Even after factory reset, when I was trying to access the phone, eventually I was shown a "... setup.exe stopped responding..." (or something like that) message and my phone just stayed stuck on the booting screen (android) every time I restart (w/o entering factory reset).
Does anyone have any ideas, or know which apps can prevent the phone from booting properly? A list of safe apps to delete would be helpful too. I thought I was pretty cautious with removing only non essential apps, but it seem bricked. Thanks again!

About list off apps, I have to agree. Even it there is litle problem with dependencies, some minimum describe of these issue will be great!!
So, about your problem - I think, that you will have to download original ROM and do flashing with KDZ_FW_UPdater. (search on xda for more information).
But definitely, if it's possible I would try to install custom recovery throw adb shell (android SDK tools) and do backup of system for possibility to recovery or saving at least few data, and after try wipe and install one of custom ROM.
This happened to me after I tried deleting preinstalled apps on my Optimus One... Sent it in for repairs since it just stopped working. The tech guy said he did a "software update" and everything is good as new (except for the LGMITS error once in a while)
They didn't even bother trying to fix mine. They just told me to send it in and gave me a replacement.
So I finally figured out what I did wrong - basically when I was doing the deleting, I accidentally deleted the LG Home app, which effectively deactivated my (duh) home button and effectively stopped everything from functioning properly. For some reason I thought it was just a simple link from my phone directly to the LG website, as would happen with new PCs very often. Well... won't be doing THAT again.
However, my web2go button isn't working. I have to force quit every time I try to click on it. Can I just get rid of it or will it just give me more trouble later on?
At least you knew what went wrong with yours... I was just erasing CarHome and Layar and the LG App Adviser among other things i wont be using like Twitter and Latitude.
And they even gave you a new one x__x I had to wait 5 days before everything was good as new. After the first fix, USB debugging and mass storage stopped working so I sent it in for another "software update"...
I was about to update to ICS & found an app on the market call root uninstall. so I messed around trying to remove 2 stupid apps that came with the device...
suddenly there is no home screen & the home button no longer works. Now I'm stuck with only settings page & that is it.
I need some help...
edit: I also tried resting the software & trying to upgrade with the <b>AIO S.onyTablet.S [ALLinONE</b> was a complete failure even before the incident.

You must have accidentally deleted the launcher. Copy the launcher into /system/app/ and set its permissions to rw-r--r--.
Sony Tablet S
I am stuck at only the setting screen & nothing else appears.
Don't worry, I'm almost there trying to update to an official 4.0.3
I managed to get the All in one tool working on it.
Thanks for the advice guys
SOLVED
I managed to access it through the AIO tool & changed the region to my local & set it to update.
all happened so peacefully.
Again thank you guys...
Hi,
when I reset my Optimus One with VolDown, Power + Home something got messed up and I received a phone where the desktop is not starting any longer.
After the above reset the setup screen appears where I can choose my language etc, but at the last step I get a force close message for the Setup Wizard every single time. When I then force close, the screen goes dark except for the status bar on the top.
After a while the phone autolocks and I can see the lock screen with moving grass and time etc. When I unlock, again the black screen with only the status bar on top.
The phone receives SMS messages and calls and shows the appropriate screen, just no desktop to choose any apps to start. I can even long press home and then get the recent apps screen with no apps to start.
Can someone help me to get my phone functional again?
Thanks.
Binser
seems like problem with your launcher app. use adb push command to push new launcher in your phone.
no debug

Yes that would be a good idea if I could enable USB debug. But I cannot get to the settings where I could enable USB debug, therefore ADB push is not a possible option for me.
u can log into your google account on desktop and install any launcher app from playstore , it will automatically get installed on your cell if your data is on.

Thanks again for ur input: But the VolDown Menu Power thing did a complete reset and therefore the phone is completely virgin, i.e. no google account is set-up.
While during initial boot the setup wizard comes up, I get the error message:
"The application Setup Wizard (process.com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
So I cannot setup a google account for this phone.
u may be able to go to contacts screen while on call. there u will have an option to add google account. try this n if this doesn't work try resetting your phone again.
Thank you! That did it! I called myself with another phone and during the call via the menu button I was able to go into the account section and add an account. Then the play store updated (some time is needed for registration to take hold on the play store web site) and then I installed the Go launcher via web install.
After I got access to the launcher, I immediately activated USB debugging in Settings > Application Settings > Development and also install from unknnown sources in Application Settings.
I wrote these details so that people with the same problem of corrupted launcher or setup wizard know what to do.
BTW before I tried numerous phone resets but none solved the problem.
Now I still have the following problem: To root a reset is suggested to have a clean file system. A reset however again gives me the above problem. How can I break that vicious cycle?
Again, thanks a million for your help.

No need of reset or so, just root and install clockworkmod recovery via ROM manager app, choose optimus 1 old baseband even if u r on new coz the recovery for old baseband is much more stable.
NOTE:-
do not choose to boot into recovery from ROM manager,u might end up at emergency mode. instead use the key combo to enter into recovery.
don't choose to factory reset from phone menu once u have installed custom recovery, instead do that from recovery.
Thanks, hephappy's ICS CM9 is running well now.
There is only one problem, possibly because I did not get your advice about old baseband in time: Cannot make or receive calls/texts, but I am being asked for SIM PIN and the phone shows the carrier ID in notifications.
My phone has the 20d baseband - is that the problem? Do I need to upgrade to 20g or would that not matter?
Regards,
Binser
OK, I flashed the 20G baseband and the problems are now history. I can make an receive calls.
There was a problem when flashing: The phone did not reboot into recovery mode. I had to do that manually and disable the LG modem. Then when the process was done I the phone showed 20G baseband, but no IMEI and network. I solved that by using the saved NV2 file in a subdirectory of the LGMDP.exe and the NV Restore button on the program icon bar.
Now everything is fine.
Again, thank you for your help.

i have a note for work and they have it locked by surelock is there a way to bypass or turn the software off?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
If you aren't allowed to install a root explorer app ..the odds aren't good ..
But depending on how brave you are ....you could push an entirely new rom image ....if you can get into download mode..
My initial thought was to push clockwork mod via Odin ...then install a root explorer apk and delete the surelock apk ...but it's likely going to block that ...so I went back to the new rom idea...
I suppose you could do an emergency restore through kies ...but you would need to block data from restoring the apps again ...
Gosh ...that's a tough one to be sure ...g
How about instead of getting fired, leave it alone.....
LOL ....
Well yeh ....there's always that option ....but mine is a lot more fun ....
And you can plead insanity or a virus attack ...g
they locked keyboard options and we log in thru password with spell check and autocorrect so it makes inputing a password very difficult .cannot log into phone to use annoying

It can be bypassed by restarting the smartphone in safe mode. I'm not sure how to solve that.. maybe complete encryption of the device?
how to unlock surelock??
Hello community!
I have a lenovo Tab 4 10'. it is locked by surelock. I tried resetting by entering in to safemode-->wipe data. but there is no such option in the recovery mode (wipe data/factory reset). Is there any other way that i could reset my device?
Long press the poweroff option to enter safemode, provided safemode is not locked in surelock (if safemode and recovery is also locked, then no other option to bypass surelock). Then in safemode disable admin access for surelock and then clear default for surelock in apps settings. Go to playstore and install any launcher (google now works better) and set it as default home in settings. Finally restart the tablet. Now you have bypassed surelock but surelock is there with its settings intact. Launch surelock and follow onscreen instructions to enter surelock if there is any inspection or in situations to hide your bypassing. To bypass surelock again, follow the steps once again from beginning. Hope this helps
I rooted and installed custom recovery on my HDX7 using the HDX Toolkit according the the given instructions. After a few days I decided to uninstall recovery and moved the TWRP backup to external storage. I hadn't installed any custom roms or created any rom slots. I had no problems for days until these changes I made last night.
I uninstalled towelroot, reading that it was safe to do so. I installed a flashlight app. I installed Greenify and auto-hibernated some some third-party apps - including ES FileManager and Safestrap, which I considered safe since I had already uninstalled recovery. I installed NOBLOAT and disabled (not uninstalled) a few other processes and preinstalled Amazon apps as well. I also turned WIFI off before shutting down.
The device is now stuck at the second splash screen with the animated white and gold Kindle Fire logo. The screen is also slightly dimming and brightening repeatedly. I can't get into safe-mode/ recovery mode. I looked up what I was disabling but think I goofed using NoBloat and Greenify and screwed myself by uninstalling recovery.
What should I do and how? Will uninstalling nobloat, greenify and flashlight through adb RENABLE the disabled and hibernated apps and revert to previous settings? I have the TWRP stock rom backup on my computer! Can I flash that if nothing else works?
I'd appreciate the help and instruction, thank you.

Did you try hard reset? Press power button for more than 20 sec. Your kindle should then restart itself hopefully without bootloop. I was once messing with rooted stock fire OS trying to add one app to system apps (live wallpaper support I think), after restart I get neverending bootloop, but I was able to get out of this by doing hard reset, then Safestrap showed again and I was saved.
If you can manage reverse all your changes on system through adb, good for you, but without installed Safestrap ... well, maybe someone with better skills can manage you through this ...
I have tried but hard resets aren't working.
Can you still access it through ADB?

No, looks like I am having trouble getting adb access. Command adb devices is returning nothing. Windows is recognizing the Kindle, however, but only as a portable device. Definitely had adb access before (established to use the HDX Toolkit). Now, I am wondering whether I disabled adb support on the kindle at some point beforehand.
On a sidenote, I just unplugged and reconnected the usb cable a few times and was able to hit the lockscreen for a few seconds before falling back into the bootloop. I have been able to repeat this.
I have tried to follow GSLEON3's steps, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608&page=8, to regain ADB access. I haven't had any luck - windows keeps recognizing it as a portable device. Any other suggestions for driver installation?
Again, occasionally the lock screen comes up. It was up long enough for me to swipe open and see my installed apps on the carousel, at one point, before falling back into the bootloop!
I'll keep reading and trying to establish ADB, but I have a question. Given that I have only rooted and disabled some processes, without any other serious modifications (no build prob edit, no new partitions, no roms, no custom recovery anymore) do you think a factory reset would be safe at some point if I can't get adb access?

From what you're saying, a factory reset does sound sensible but I honestly don't want to guide you in the wrong direction.

doing a factory reset do not believe will remove something from system files if that is where he has pushed itand may cause complications. I do know from personal experience a factory reset with xposed framework gets really nasty really fast.I would keep trying to get ADB back...once you see it on your PC in any mode you must go to your device and device managers and uninstall all drivers. and reboot PC. Do not plug your device back in 2 PC till you have installed correct drivers
if nothing has been pushed to system and you have not install xposed framework...greenify will work with and without it I'm not sure about nobloat. Hdx signature bypass module requires xposed...did you attempt gapps installation? but if you know those two things for sure and for sure nothing pushed to system files you are safe to do a factory reset under factory recovery. The opposite button combination for recovery will result in safe mode boot...
more information?

Thanks.
I did not install Xposed nor GAPPS. The only system modifications to device were 1) manual update to stock firmware 13.3.2.4. 2) Towelroot 3) Super SU 4) Safestrap, which is no longer installed 5) Disabled OTA updates using HDX Toolkit and 6) Greenify and Nobloat to disable 3rd party and system apps.
I havn't pushed anything else to system.
I am currently on Ubuntu trying to get adb access. I am NOT familiar with linux but I have gotten JDK and Android SDK installled. Still, no access and no device id number listed. Should I go back to windows and try again?
Also, I can't get into safe mode. And one more question - is it normal that the HDX can only be powered off while unplugged? If I plug in any power it automatically turns on and starts bootloop.

well it definitely would not hurt anything to try Windows again don't bother with a factory cable does not apply to this device we do not have the proper tools / softwareware
you might do a little reading over in toolkit thread at last few pages anyway I do not believe that you will get negative effect from just having OTA block with a factory reset. personally a factory reset per stock recovery that would be my next option.. as long as you know the only thing that has been pushed to system is su, and no xposed framework.
you may even have to re disable OTA updates.
remember plug in your device. Allow it to boot as far as it will boot if you can get it to boot into the running system that would be great just do not attempt to unlock it if that what crashes it. Go to Device Manager and uninstall all drivers for your device.
unplug it from PC and reboot PC. Then install correct ADB drivers and reconnect

Ok, good to know about the power.
Yes, I have used the Minimal Adb and Fastboot utility before and couldn't get access.
I can get into stock recovery for a factory reset.
I can not get into SafeMode. It ends up booting to the lockscreen for a second or two before falling back into bootloop - sometimes flashing the lockscreen again.
okay well I do believe you have run out of options..in a nutshell you are looking at a replacement device anyway so you should be on the go for a factory reset
So, I tried establishing ADB in Windows and Ubuntu again with no luck. I went ahead with the factory reset. Now, it is just flashing the lockscreen repeatedly without the kindle fire logo bootloop.
Thank you for the help but I guess there is nothing more to be done?

nope you are out of options before you got to the factory reset.apparently something was done to the system that nobody knew about. Or there is a hardware problem anyway.you can try to hold the power for over 20 seconds or another factory reset but sounds like you need to give Amazon a call anyway you might have had a bad unit. Because nothing you described in above paragraphs should have gotten you to this point.

Well, I think this is the main reason for your problems. In the past, when there was no alternatives I run modified FireOS + gapps from cpajuste and after a while I find that running all this amazon bloatware consuming so much memory and cpu power, so I did the same, installed greenify, some utility to disable running background services, through another utility (I dont remember the name) disabled several amazon apps I didnt use ... I was trying to make more space for running google tools ... Ofcourse I didnt do changes on stock rom, only on extra slot always with backups in case something went wrong. And it always did. FireOS is sure not your typical Android - at some point we all learn this.
So after several mostly not successfull experiments with disabling amazon apps (fireos ends in bootloop, or didnt start at all) i decided to give up and later when alternatives from ggow was available I completly switch to his rom and (not using amazon services at all) I am happy with his Nexus 2.0.2 till today.
So from my point of view you disables some (one or more) critical process which fireos really really need to complete startup sequence and thus bootloop you are experiencing. Without safety net (safestrap + using extra slot) there is not much to do, unless you somehow gain adb access, but this is now probably not an option after factory reset you did...

the loop he was in would not allow him ADB either ,something was done here other than what has been stated whether it was known or not.
correction I also use greenify it on all my devices. And to be able to do anything to system you must have had exposed framework installed....in which case I would have never have recommended a factory wipe. as stated several times already. simply hibernating a few apps even hibernating a few apps ( which is about all you can do without framework) would have not gotten him here. he had to have permanently removed something from system or permanently disabled iteither way without knowing exactlywhat service he appy that too it would be a guessing game even with adb.in short like you said lesson learned for another person that bothers to read this thread not to tamper with your stock system without safestrap at bare minimum and a backup
I wonder if he has had any luck with ADB now that he is no longer in a perpetual boot loop. May be able to come up with a reenable command for system apps? Su should still be in systemat least the binaries will be in case the app wasn't. And I think in this case it would be better if the app was not in system but the binaries remained since he cannot get into the OS he will not be able to grant permission..but without. su command should work still
Thanks for the input. Wiithout a doubt, lessons learned here. At the very least, I never should have uninstalled Safestrap even if I wasn't planning on doing anything else to the system. I have the TWRP backup of my rooted stock, but with no way to use it now - useless.
I must have disabled some critical app or combination of apps that lead to the conflict, despite the care I thought I was taking. As far as Xposed framework goes, I never installed it manually. Maybe it is packaged in with one of those apps? The other thing I wondered about was whether disabling wireless could have led to a conflict. Using the Toolkit has been reported to lead to a bug where the system can crash when trying to enable wifi without first enabling bluetooth.
Either way, all I had to do was leave safestrap alone, just in case. F.
All of your help and feedback has been appreciated!
Wow. Well, I have adb access. After mutliple unsuccessful attempts on Windows and Linux, I was able to fire up an old MacBook and established an adb connection in 10 minutes. Unbelievable! The list of installed packages doesn't show any third party packages. Can I push and install Safestrap through adb to get my backups up and running? Whar is the correct syntax for those commands? I have already got a replacement on the way, but I would like to try to bring this one back and unroot. On second thought, maybe I should just leave it?
