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 have the Ainol Novo 8 Discover with android 4.1.1, I tried upgrading it recently with a file the company provided, alas, I can't get into recovery anymore. Going into settings and doing factory reset it simply turns off the tablet. Adb reboot also shutsdown the tablet.
Is it possible to fix? I didn't do a backup. I have tried accessing recovery by holding at the same time Power Off + Vol down like I used to with no avail.
I have looked every where but I haven't found a solution.
fixed
Well I have solved my problem. It is difficult to find solutions because everything that I encountered was in Mandarin.
I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.2 successfully, I will test if the stock recovery is working. If anyone needs help let me know. I cannot put links to outside websites.

Okay. I got this phone off amazon as an unlocked phone. I has been working fine for several months, but it is short on internal memory because the internal memory it is almost completely consumed by bloatware. I rooted it using Super One Click 2.2 so I could delete some bloatware. After rooting I could not connect to my wifi (which I always have been able to connect to with this phone without issue). All I get is "Acquiring IP Address". Here is what I have tried so far that has not worked.
1. Factory Reset (4 times).
2. Master Hard Reset with wipe.
3. Router reboot and unplugging it.
4. Clearing Router mac address table.
5. Unrooting phone and factory reset.
6. Custom "ADD WIFI Network"
7. Using "Static IP" workaround.
8. Changed Router SSID and network security to OPEN (no security).
None of the above have worked. I think I know what might have caused the problem. I performed the root with the Super One Click app. During the rooting process it came up and said, "Busybox not installed. Would you like to install it." I figured it was needed for rooting so I let it install Busybox. After doing some searching on connection issues after rooting, I found other people blaming busybox for the problem. I have no idea what Busybox is or if it is the cause. I assumed that if I did a master hard reset that it would fix the phone, but it remained rooted even after the master hard reset, which tells me that some of the things that rooting the phone did cannot be undone by a master hard reset. I used Super One Click to unroot the phone, but the problem still persist.
I believe the only way to fix this problem is to flash the phone with the original rom (or other good rom). I need a walk through on how to do this and a source for the rom. Can anyone help me? Thanks
Hello. I ordered an android tablet recently on Craigslist. To make a long story short, there is a program limiting mostly anything and everything. Through various loopholes however, in a very roundabout way i can access the play store and download apps, however my goal is to factory reset the tablet and i haven't been successful. I seem to be at a wall and i can really use your guys's help
Things i tried:
-The standard factory reset with power button an volume keys, doesn't work
-Rooting the tablet, unsuccessful because the administrator blocks usb debugging
-Downloading programs from a browser to root, doesn't work because i can't allow unknown downloads
-Random apps that factory resets device, tablet just ignores
Does anyone know of any other ways i can unlock this tablet? Thanks guys
I performed a factory reset / wipe data. It boots but doesn't boot to home screen. it gets stuck on (update check failure to connect to server) though connected to wifi and internet working.
I have tried rooting with jmz package after installing Pdanet v5 but the rooting fails and says phone not connected / drivers not installed.
device manager says phone connected and drivers working
Please any help on how I can bypass this update check or root the nabi device??
Thanks for your solutions
I'm in the same boat. I had to do a factory reset, because all of a sudden, I was asked for a password that I never set up, after a reboot. Online the only solution I found was to factory reset. But, after the factory reset, I found out that Nabi is no longer supported by Mattel. They supposedly released a final update to remove unsupported apps and basically turns the Nabi into a normal android tablet, but my tablet will not update because it fails to connect to server. Have you tried to contact Mattel to get any support?
