LGL15g unable to get passed setup - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted LG sunrise, Ever time the device is turned on it runs LG Setup Wizard, once I finish the setup it loops back to the begining. before this i removed some bloat ware (guessing i may have removed the wrong thing). I am unable to access any apps, only one i can is messaging which is done through LMT. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I have managed to get around setup and froze the app in Rom toolbox pro, now none of my notifications show up, home and task buttons dont work, and has no lock screen (even with pin set up)

How did you root the LG Sunrise?

You can root the LG Sunrise with king root. Not Kingo

[Q] Cyanogenmod not booting anymore

Hello all,
I installed CM7 on my vibrant a few weeks ago and have really been enjoying it.
I ran in to some trouble yesterday and my phone will not complete booting.
I ran adb logcat and have attached my logs. The SQLite exceptions related to settings keep printing in a loop.
I am able to boot in to recovery, so I'm sure I can recover the phone by reinstalling CM7. I would very much prefer not to do this, because I had just now got things setup how I want. Unfortunately, I had not setup Titatnium backup on a schedule, so my latest backup is prior to my CM7 update. Reinstalling would be pretty painful for me at this point.
This is what happend to my phone prior to getting in to this state. Not sure if any of this is related:
I installed a bunch of new apps (google $0.10 promo) including Beutiful widgets
At some point Go Launcher became unresponsive and I had to force close
Go launcher restarted but lost my config/layout, I tried restoring an old config but this was not waht I wanted. So I reset to default
I added a Wifi toggle widget from Beutiful widget to my home screen
Turned wifi off with it,
Decided that it was redundant since I have CM7's widget in the notficiations tray.
Uinstalled the wifi widget
Tried to turn wifi back on with notification tray widget
Wifi would not turn on, went to settings and tried it there and was still not turning back on
Gave up fighting wifi, tried a reboot
Got stuck on CM7's boot animation.
I am hoping to recover my phone's state and would appreciate any help with the following:
1. Any ideas as to what could cause this?
2. Is it possible just to reset only the system settings? It looks like the sqlite db related to settings (if there is one) has got corrupted.
3. Is this the best forum for this post?
Edit: fixed a typo.
Mods, can you verify my account please?

[Q] LG Thrive (Optimus) Semi-Bricked?

Yesterday I rooted my LG Thrive (part of the Optimus One family) and everything went fine. I was playing around with overclocking and removing bloatware using ROM Toolbox. Eventually however, I realized I wanted to remove some AT&T bloatware apps from initial startup. I was able to disable some through the program, but when doing so the app was freezing and I would just press the zoom button to return and then continue disabling additional apps. In doing so however, I'm certain this messed things up big time. I restarted my phone to see if these disabled apps would still start. The unlock screen came up but the touchscreen was inactive (it wouldn't respond to touch anywhere) as were any of the buttons on the phone (even the power button). I'm guessing I disabled quite an important startup service somehow along the lines. This is the same situtation in safe mode.
I was able to unlock the phone if I receive a text or call, then the touchscreen becomes active and allows me to unlock and use the phone. However, there is no desktop - it's a black screen with taskbar on top. The messaging app works as well as the device receives emails. But aside from the taskbar on the top, there's nothing.
I don't know where to go from here. Do I just try to install cyanogenmod over everything - if so, could someone point me in the right direciton? (I'm running a linux system as my desktop in case someone suggets a program to use for flashing). Or is there a simple fix to this issue I caused?
Thanks everyone!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Problem

Hi
I have an unlocked samsung galaxy s4 gt-i19505
Recently after i updated to 4.4.2 kitkat i started having problems. After the phone is not being used for a while, when i press the unlock button the unlock screen appears but the circle with the lock inside it is missing and the phone appears to loose touch i can't unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel. When i press the lock button again the screen goes black and the phone just freezes completely. It doesn't react to the unlock button any more or to the home screen button. I have to take out the battery and then everything is normal again until the phone is left unused for a while again.
I tried reinstalling the firmware again but it didn't help. I didn't factory reset the phone as I don't want to be setting it up again as it takes me a while. Does anyone have similar problems knows how to fix it ?
Thanks.

It sucks to reset, but you gotta do what you gotta do. That is often the first step of troubleshooting as it eliminates lots of other possibilities all at once. Especially if you updated to 4.3 to 4.4.2 without wiping. I know Samsung says it's cool and give OTA updates and all that, but I've worked on dozens and dozens of Samsung devices and they always seem to run best if you factory reset after updating (or downgrading). There are tons of apps that can back up your call logs, texts, apps, contacts, etc that you can use to restore afterwards. Then you just gotta log back into your accounts and set up your home screen. It's annoying, but will probably be quicker than trying to troubleshoot one little thing after another. Just the nature of the beast with stuff like this. It's not Samsung's fault per se, just how software is. It seems to run differently on different phones without much rhyme or reason.

Hey i reseted my phone and the problem seemed to be fixed but it happened again. Do you know what can I do to fix it ?

Urgent Help!!

Guys! I need help please! I have an Lg Optimus F3, and today early in the morning i downloaded some random game to play, don't remember the name, but it kinda froze my phone, so i hit the home key, and then all these messages popped up saying, "This application has stopped working" for every single app.
Then, my phone turned off, and now every time i try to turn it on it takes like 30 minutes to show the LG logo, then after another 15 or so eventually loads the actual boat up menu, and after about another 5 loads the home screen.
Settings are also being stupid. I try to go into Security and they force close. And the home screen won't load.
I've only had it since like september, so it's too early for a new phone.
I did a factory reset when it wouldn't turn on, so now it's in stock, just like when i first got it. But it still won't work.
Anyone have any suggestions please? I just want it to boot up fast, and start working like normal again.

You will have to flash a kdz (stock firmware) file via LG Flash tool (R&D Test Tool). You will find the needed informations HERE.
Also, if you aren't sure what the name of it is, you should be able to go to the Play Store via any browser and log in and look at your apps. You should be able to tell from there. This might not help you get your phone running again, but if you let others know you had trouble with it, it might be helpful to others.

Thanks for the help guys. Didn't work thought. I just contacted LG, and they told me to send in the phone, and they should be able to fix it. Thank you though.
What didn't work?

Stuck in guest mode or something like it

Can't figure out how I activated this mode on my phone but now everything is limited.
My lock screen is disabled, no notifications will show in the drop down (but will vibrate and LED light up when I do get a message or an app update), home and recent apps button do not respond (only the back button), some settings are disabled (developer options/factory reset/lock screen). I can still access most apps/information.
Never plugged my phone into computer nor tried downloading any 3rd party apps.
Any help besides master reset would be great!
Wondering if you found a cause or solution to this. My wife's phone just started exhibiting the same symptoms, and so far I've found nothing. T-mobile's only suggestion is to do a warranty replacement, but I'd prefer not to.
If you did a hard reset, did that work?
FYI, after doing some more research, I found a solution to the problem. Apparently some kind of setup activity was stuck, and there is a workaround that gets things working again. I did the Nova Launcher workaround found here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-e-2015/673227-problems-marshmallow-moto-e2-any-help.html
Hope this helps.

Is there a solution that doesn't involve the use of Nova Launcher and it doesn't involve dealing with the Setup Wizard apps (short of a reset) as I don't have the Setup Wizard appear in Nova Launcher.
