Wikipad 7 Stuck in Setup Wizard Loop (More Info In Thread). - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently purchased a Wikipad 7 tablet and have been using it for a few weeks. I rooted the tablet using KingoRoot and the root was successful. Using a app included with the root called Superuser I deleted some system files I considered safe to do so in order to speed up the tablet and free up some space and the tablet worked fine after doing so. A couple of days later, I decided to perform a factory reset in order to get rid of multiple large files I had downloaded but could not have the effort to find. The reset went as normal until I tried connecting to wifi in the setup wizard. A screen showing 'Connecting to wifi' appears for some time before the message 'Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped.' appears and I'm taken back the first screen where I have to choose my language. I have tried multiple times to connect to wifi successfully but to no avail. I have tried things such as turning off the router in order to bypass the process but the screen that appears after skipping wifi configuration (the one which asks permission to let google access your location) shows the same message after tapping on the left or right arrows located at the bottom to let me proceed through the setup or go back.
I have tried to search the internet for a solution to this problem, but the solutions were unexpectedly complicated for me to get around as I not understand some of the terminology used and the steps to fixing the problem seem to be specifically for one kind of device.
If anybody could have any knowledge on how to solve this problem then help would be greatly appreciated. It would be preferable if the method to fixing this problem would be as simple as possible to perform and understand. If you would like any additional information regarding the tablet in order to help with solving the problem, please to not hesitate to ask as I will provide all I can.
Yet again, any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Lenovo Lemon 3 - irritating problems with stock ROM

Hi!
I'm new on XDA, so I'm sorry if the thread is placed in wrong subforum - if it is, I'm asking mod to move it in more proper place.
I bought Lenovo Lemon 3 - it was advertised as Vibe K5 Plus, but apparently the seller wasn't that reliable as I thought. As far as I know, the differences beetwen these models are little or none, but I have pretty big problems with the phone.
First of all it has some preinstalled software, which isn't in Play Store and some of them I can't even find in the net. The apps I would like to get rid off are KingRoot, MaxxAudio and SecurityIT. I successfully managed to disable MiBrowser - with help of KingRoot tool Purify actually. I tried to disable SecurityIT also, but if I do that I can't enter Settings->Apps. When I try the com.android.settings is stopped and it's not working till i enable SecurityIT again.
Second of all is that process com.android.phone is stopping randomly. Sometimes I click "ok" and I it starts working again. But sometimes it keeps crashing until I restart the phone. Since it's a dual sim phone and I'm using only one sim I thought that maybe this is causing a problem, but inserting second card wouldn't work, so currently I have no idea what is causing the problem. I tried cleaning cache and appdata with no effect. If the process is crashing and somebody will call - the phone restarts itself when I try to answer.
Thirdly it's hot. Even if I'm not doing anything and all apps are off and Im charging the phone it sometimes says that it can't be charged because of too high temperature on battery. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it's too hot too touch and I don't know why.
Oh, and one more thing. Something is installing random software. It looks like every time I open Chrome something is opening new tab and redirecting to PlayStore. I am trying to close these tabs while they're loading, but sometimes it loads too fast. Every morning I uninstall some new app, which is apparently installed by night. And those apps aren't added to my Play Store Account. I have disabled unknown sources, but I can see that phone is checking for updates around 2 a.m - so maybe those apps are from there - but I can't see any possibility to disable auto-updates. I have disabled auto updates in Play Store and I have "Lenovo Enhanced Experience" unchecked. Most of apps I installed from Play Store are games I had on the previous phone so I am sure they're not dangerous. Any ideas to prevent the installation of this unwanted software will be appreciated.
Since I used KingRoot to disable MiBrowser I apparently rooted it, but I was reading that this works only with KingRoot installed and with internet connection. And it's sending some data to China, which is not nice. RootChecker says it's rooted.
Lenovo Launcher it's not great either, I downloaded Lollipop Launcher from store and it works fine, but I had to block Lenovo Launcher from autostart, because it was very irritating and was enabling few times.
I am living in Europe so I was thinking is it possible to put on this phone Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Stock ROM? Or is it this "trashy" like the one I have? I really like specs of the phone and I don't wanna return it, but I don't like the software behavior. Can you tell me what I can do to improve this? I don't care about warranty and I would like to have pure, non trashy Lollipop, so if it is possible somehow I would be glad for any help.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Lenovo Lemon 3 K32C36 > Cyanogenmod 14 - 7.1.1: SUCCESS
Hi
Did not know where to post this, I was not allowed to post in developer forums:
For those unlucky enough to have bought a Lenovo Lemon 3, I offer hope. My daugther's 'Lemon' now runs cyanogenmod 14 near flawlessly.
Here's what finally did it.
1st you have to unlock the bootloader. I found this page, google translated it,
http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t717648-420.html
and near the bottom is this link to a 'one-click bootloader unlocker'
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56376
[All this is similar to the Lenovo unbricking described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/how-to/unbrick-vibe-k5-plus-qfil-qpst-method-t3467830
but a lot of that is not what you need now.]
You have to install and run QPST from this on a Windows machine, and the Lenovo and Qualcomm USB drivers and the Visual C thing too to set it up.
I fiddled for a while but eventually got QFIL to recognize the Lemon. Keep in mind Win is pickier about USB cables than Linux.
Following instructions carefully, that one click then worked!
I moved back to Linux and adb and did the second part (pasting instructions from the Win .bat file into a root terminal). Sure enough, when I booted into recovery I had TWRP! But it showed no files on the Lemon and said there was no OS there! Nevertheless I was able to boot back into the awful K32C36 system with no problem.
So I went back to adb and did it again, but this time from the info and links on this page - but I did not at that time see the need to root.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-lenovo-vibe-k5-t3391100
Beyond all expectation TWRP then booted and all was visible.
I then picked this ROM page because someone had wrote that they had it working on K32C36
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/unofficial-cm14-lenovo-k5-k5-plus-t3478288
to get this
http://moto.shreps.fr/Lenovo Vibe K...cm-14.x/cm-14.1-20161213-UNOFFICIAL-A6020.zip
Then onto SD card with it and pico 7.1.1 gapps
Install with TWRP (after backing up lame old ROM and wiping system, data, cache, as advised).
Long wait during 1st new system boot (I thought it was defeat) -- but comes the little blue man bringing very good Nougat.
Hope someone gets helped here .

Asus Zenfone 2 Laser, remote reset = bricked?

My girlfriend had her phone taken (Asus Zenfone 2 Laser) so I did a remote reset using her Google account. It was successful but the phone was returned and waiting to be setup again - we get as far as "Verify your account - This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device" which would be mine and/or my girlfriends account as it was my phone handed down to her.
After selecting "Verify Account" I get a screen (below) "Google - 403. That's an error. - Error: disallowed_useragent - The user-agent is not permitted to make an OAuth authorization request to Google as it is classified as an embedded user-agent (also known as a web-view). Per our policy, only browsers are poermitted to make authorization requests to Google. We offer several libraries and samples for native apps to perform authorization requests in the browser." with more afterwards with links to mail.google.com and what looks to be API's.
Why am I not able to reach the login page where I should be able to enter my email address to confirm and unlock the phone? Since this happened I gave her my newly purchased Zenfone 2 and bought the one I really wanted in the first place, a Zenfone 3 but it would be nice to get this one working again and give it to someone or sell it.
I am new and unable to embed images or direct link but here are screens of what I am running into tinypic.com
/r/11rydjl/9
Or at ImageBB which seems to load more often - ibb.co/nyiaqk
Thank you for any input.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks a ton for this link, it worked for me after returning to stock firmware!
what a PITA in first place to have such issues!
This no longer works. I just get a verify account button and when I press I, it goes straight to that stupid error. I have no way in getting around this.
I still stuck on this problem, did someone find a fix ?
You have to factory reset after signing in ,then it works. Another workaround is manually update to lollipop v4.0 from asus website threw recovery adb sideload.
I was able to fix it! I know this is super late response, but had the same issue where after the hard reset it wouldn't allow me past the verify. Not all steps may be necessary, but this worked for me.
Pull down top drawer and click on settings icon before going to verify
Scroll down to Accounts and log into Google account (click + Add account and go through the steps)
Go to Backup & reset
Factory data reset
Once it rebooted and came back on, I was able to go through all the way to the home page. I didn't stop to sign in or connect to my wifi before I got to the home page.
Hi, I haven't access to top drawer like the video above.
Advice pleeease!!!!

Adrian

Rooted, factory reset, now no wifi/BT?

Hello all,
I recently rooted an old Samsung Stratosphere in an attempt to turn it into a mobile Kali device, and after rooting it using a custom ROM ("root zImage" that I found via googling and a forum post on rootzwiki) and then performing a factory reset, I now have no wifi or BT, and no MAC address. Attempting to connect to my wireless network results in the phone starting wifi, attempting to scan for a few seconds, then returning an error message of "unable to scan" and turning the wireless radio back off. Also, now the phone tries to activate every time I turn it on. I can bypass the activation by enabling soft keys (I googled that also), but how can I disable the auto-activation?
I installed CWM recovery and did a factory reset, no change. I removed the SIM card (I even tried a different one from another one of these phones I had laying around with a broken screen), no change. Why would the MAC address disappear? Isn't the MAC address tied to the actual hardware?
It's a shame that this perfectly good hardware is so difficult to re-purpose to use as something else. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I am willing to learn Android development in order to figure this out, but I'm really not sure where to start, and I expect this will take some time to get to a point where I can develop my own ROMs and apps. I have downloaded the Android Studio; where should I start? Thanks.

Can't use Face Recognition, can't set unlock pattern after Root (Galaxy A6)

Hi there,
so I put TWRP on my phone (link to the tutorial), installed Magisk and everything was fine. That was until I noticed that I can't set a Screen Lock Method other than "swipe". If I enter a Pin, I get to confirm it and then it's immediately shown as incorrect. So I needed to delete some files in TWRP to get rid of the pin again.
Tried pattern unlock next. At least I don't need to delete anything, but it just won't stay saved or applied to the lockscreen.
I highly suggest goddamn Samsung is messing with me here. I can't log in to their stupid services. "Processing failed", every time, and it asks me to log in every time when I set up a Pin or Pattern.
According to Google this isn't so uncommon. Problem is, there's no real solution. Someone mentioned freezin the "Samsung Experience" app with SD2Link. Didn't do anything. I tried uninstalling some Samsung Apps, which was stupid of course but I was desperate. My phone was in kind of a bootloop lite, so I wiped it again.
It's working now for the most part, but I still can't use any other lock method other than Swiping. I highly expect this to give me some additional trouble down the road. What can I do?
Thank you in advance!
