Hi Everyone, I need some serious help - thanks in advance!
I have a LG Enlighten phone - I am a tech, although I am new to the whole smartphone thing (ya, I know, where have I been lol). Anyway, as you probably know it has limited internal storage. So I have a Sandisk 32gb micro sd card installed where I move things over to it to keep space open on the internal. The phone is rooted.
Ok, things were going well - and I am not sure what happened precisely, but obviously I must have moved something over to the sd card I shouldn't have. The phone went wonky on me after a reboot. I got stuck in a boot loop I could not recover from. So I did a factory reset (power button, home, and volume up). That went just fine. I activated just fine to. Problem is after that all I get is: Sorry! the application com.android.lgsetupwizard (process com.android.lgsetupwizard)has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
You can press the force close button a million times (I probably have) and nothing happens. I have tried EVERYTHING to try to clear this and I can't get passed it. I've spent two days online reading forums, web pages, watching youtube videos - nothing has helped. Problem is, since I did a factory reset its back to defaults (I am assuming) meaning USB debugging and mounting is turned off because it is turned off as default. I can't get passed that infernal screen to turn it back on.
I don't have any data on here that I care about I just want my phone back. I don't mind flashing the rom but for the life of me I can't get at it!
When I go into restore mode, at least with the enlighten it doesn't give you options - it just shows the picture of the android for a few seconds then reboots. No idea what it's doing there.
I tried re-formating the micro sd card thinking maybe it was picking something up from there, that didn't seem to do anything.
I have Android Studio installed, I was hoping to do something through it - but again the phone isn't mounting when plugged into my laptop (windows 7) - it was before - no doubt because that feature is turned off because of the factory reset.
If you have ideas, please speak in small words with lots of steps. Thanks.
HELP!

Hi
Please I need some help. I’ve used link2sd program to save some memory in the phone but it seems that I’ve moved something and now it doesn’t start anymore or if it starts after a couple of attempts I can see only locked screen and when I do unlock I can only move the upper bar that has the wifi Bluetooth etc.
I’ve tried the button combination and cleared user data, cache, but nothing had changed. I don’t think Ive made or there is a back up (or I can’t find it). Is there a solution or any programs that I can download to bring it back to life????I’ve only had it for 1 month
Thank you for your consideration
The phone was left out in the sun for an hour or so. Once it was brought inside the phone was off and would not turn on. I had to hold the power button down for about 15 seconds before it rebooted and turned on. The phone seemed to be fine for a few days. Then we noticed it would keep rebooting randomly, or so we thought it was random. Turns out the internal storage is inaccessible. You cannot add or delete anything from the phone. If you try, the phone will reboot. If you deleted something (an account, a picture, icon from home scree, etc) it will return after the reboot. I have went to recovery and attempted a system restore but all that happens is the screen goes black with a red triangle. When you force it to reboot everything is the way it was before. I have tried to access it via astro file manager and through win 7 and win 8. No matter which way you try you cannot delete or add to storage.
Any ideas or is it a brick?
Thanks for any advice or replies.

It definitely looks like a hardware issue, you might want to return it for servicing.
So I totally jacked up my phone and I don't know what else to do. I have the Galaxy S3 tmobile (sgh-t999). I had rooted it over a year ago and everything was fine until today. I had used Odin and set up the clockworkmod... rom... thing. Of course now I doubt I even did that correctly, maybe I'm just in over my head...anywho...
I was trying to transfer some files from my pc to the phone. (kies air never worked for me) Well, I had plugged in my phone and in windows explorer it showed something along the lines of 'samsung mtp phone' when I opened it up only 2 folders showed... media and data. The data folder looked like the list of files/folders I would see when I'm in the file manager on the phone but everything listed were showing ad unknown file types. No option to open anything up. The media folder was the same but only listed my pictures and music.
Well, i had rebooted phone and computer, reinstalled usb drivers, same result. So I guessed that maybe my rom version was outdated or something. No luck on figuring out how to update, so I had the briliant (sarcasm) idea to try a different rom. Long story short on that mess, the new rom didn't improve anything with help of transferring files from pc. Then I decided maybe factory reset would fix the issue.
Here comes more ignorance on my part, apparently the new mod I put in was removed but the original stayed. Fine whatever. Here's where my phone it jacked up...
First off, I don't have my notification bar (I've checked in every setting menu, no avail)
I am also missing my web browser (tried downloading from play store which leads to next issue)
I cannot download anything from the play store, I click on install and nothing happens, no error message, nothing (I had attempted to download the .apk file for google chrome and move it onto my phone via memory card but when I click on it to install it says 'unable to find application to perform this action')
Now trust me, I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, app permissions, force stop, uninstall updates and I've done a factory reset 5 times. I apologize for the long post, but I just want to give all the info I can and hope to no end that I can get my phone functional again. What else can I do??
wow such a long letter
ok let me think about it
and tell about it soon as possible
Update....
I got the idea to flash the stock rom back onto the phone. After I flashed it and did another factory reset, I have been able to get my phone functional again. Everything is working fine. Even the phone doesn't know it had been rooted. Currently I am getting everything updated while it is still stock, I'll then just root it to get rid of the bloatware... no more tinkering.
Hello all! I registered real quick in hopes this community could help me out with something.
So quite a while ago I rooted my Lenovo Tab 2A 10-70 tablet with KingoRoot in order to generate a logcat file. That went fine and dandy, and then I disabled some misc. apps (like Kindle for Android). I can't remember exactly what I messed with, so please bear with me.
The issue is that a couple of days ago I tried taking an image with my tablet with the default Camera app, when suddenly it started giving me some errors with generating thumbnails. Worse yet, my computer could not open these and they were seemingly corrupted. The camera started acting up as well, and claimed that "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working." whenever I attemted to record. I tried clearing the cache based on some recommendations through others and force stopping the app, and this seemingly worked for one recording/picture, but then would stop again. I found deleting the DCIM folder entirely from my Android's Internal Storage helped, but it'd quickly corrupt again.
Frustrated, I asked a friend for help on what to do figuring he had more knowledge in Android devices then me. He suggested I tried another camera app, but I couldn't get Google Play to download anything to the internal storage or my SD card, despite clearly having enough space.
As a last resort, I tried updating through the official "Updates" app to see if that would help me, and it claimed there was a new ROM available. I tried that, but then suddenly it failed and now my tablet seems to bricked? I can now only get the "No command." screen to show up.
I've tried using the following options while on this screen:
- reboot system now - this takes me back to this menu after it shows a Lenovo screen twice, which makes me think it's having trouble booting into Android itself.
- Apply update from ADB/sdcard - Both did nothing for fairly good reason, but I checked these options out of curiosity.
- wipe data/factory reset - Tried these the very first time I got to this screen after a failed installation. It seemingly hasn't worked for me.
- wipe cache partition - Tried this a bit later, but got similar results.
- root integrity check - Scanned a bunch of .apk files, but then later threw up some errors after that was done and said the check failed.
So, in short, I'm stuck in this menu and I'm getting kind of frustrated/scared. Is there anything that I can do to save the tablet at this point? Is there something I did wrong that might have bricked it? I'm not terribly experienced with Android, so I'd love to hear some thoughts from others! I'll gladly take anyway to restore the tablet back to a point where it can actually boot into the OS, and I understand I'd lose some data doing any sort of clean install.
Thank you!

Quite a late reply, but thank you! That ended up working quite nicely! I upgraded my tablet from Lollipop to Kitkat too, which seems to be working a bit better app performance wise for me.
Hello,
I had a small storage in my phone (in description was 4GB, but 2GB takes Android, 1,4GB original apps, and I can't uninstall it, and I have got 0,6GB to use. But phone needs 200MB free to run, so I have got approximately 400MB of storage :/. So I decided to use ROOT to uninstall original apps, and move apps to SD card. All was OK, unlocked bootloader sucefully, ROOTed it using KingRoot, uninstalled apps, moved all to SD card using LINK2SD. All was OK. But I looked for some other app to move to SD card. I found any. Started it, it took about 20 min. and after that 80% apps doesn't run. I thought it moved ALL to SD card, before that I can't use it, It is in SD card, but what can I do with that? So I used that app to give it back. Nothing. So I uninstalled app, and I decided to factory reset. I reseted it using menu (settings), when appeared last button to start it, nothing happened, so I clicked it several, I closed and opened settings, but nothing. So I placed phone on the table, and after 5 minutes it started (Phone was very laggy). I saw Android robot, and after few seconds it took off. After that, I saw "SONY XPERIA", "POWERED BY ANROID" and blue screen. I thought all is OK and device is reseting. But no. Few seconds after blue screen it stopped, and took off. And again. Start, "SONY XPERIA", "POWERED BY ANDROID", blue screen, and OFF. I left it for about 3 hours, but still the same. I waited until it runs out. I turned it ON, and again. I tried many tools using PC (SONY PC EXPANION, EMMA, FLASHTOOL), but nothing.
I think it can't run because:
a) Some important data are in SD cart, but phone doesn't use SD card when reseting.
b) I clicked it many times, so it lagged because that.
I think I can't use tools because I can't get to the recovery mode. Phone can't do anything besides "Turn OFF, ON, OFF, ON,...
Please help me, I am noob and I'd like to save my phone.
Is there any way to uninstall all from mobile, and install new android using PC?
Sorry for my English (It's so hard) and thank you very much for reply. Sorry if I choosed bad part of forum :/
EDIT: All is OK, I reinstalled my android using XPERIA flashtool. Please LOCK.
