Setup Wizard has stopped working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys!
Today I rooted my tablet (Android 4.2.2), but unfortunately I deleted some Google Apps so I decided to bring back factory settings. After that I always get "Setup Wizard stopped working" and can't get through it.
I can't even go to settings.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

FYI: Factory reset doesn't bring back deleted apps. You will have to restore your tablet with the original firmware or if you have a custom recovery like TWRP, then you might able to reinstall the missing apps that way. Without more details on what kind of tablet, we can't provide more detailed assistance.

My tablet is Lifetab (Lenovo) E10320.
I tried to install GApps for 4.2.2 (zip file) through recovery mode (I don't have TWRP installed) but after few seconds from start I get "Installation aborted".
E: Any ideas?

Gapps will only work through a custom recovery. Very unlikely that a random Gapps package would even work for stock software. Generally it doesn't. If you don't have a custom recovery, then you will need to restore your tablet to stock with whatever tool and firmware Lenovo has for that. This would be the easiest, best way to complete this task anyway.

You might check that forum out. I'm sure they have a lot more knowledge about these devices then most people here on XDA are going to have.

[Q] Just rooted, can't access recovery

I just rooted my Nook Tablet.
After rooting it I made the mistake of installing cm10.1.2 without wiping first. My first issue was that it stuck on the cm loading gif. I figured out I could get into recovery by holding the power and home button and do a factory reset which let me boot up fully, but it had a weird screen glitch right before the cm loading gif.
So, now I have all my problems. I want to make whatever I did clean so I don't have any issues come up in the future. First of all I can't get Google Apps set up. None of the APKs work for it. To counter this I tried to get Rom Manager installed directly from the CW website but within Rom Manager it tells me I need the latest version in order to download any roms.
To make things worse I cannot seem to get into recovery mode. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode I get the screen that says I need to reboot my tablet and if the problem persists I need to contact B&N support.
What I'd like to do is somehow get ROM Manager working and install a fresh version of CM with a data/cache wipe and then I feel like it would work but if anybody knows a better way to do it or what please let me know.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for pointers on how to flash CM10 internally on emmc.
If you prefer to stick with pure CM10.1.2, just use its ROM zip file in step 2(c) but in which case you'll also need to flash CWM recovery separately (e.g., flashing flashable_CWM_6.0.2.x.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery).
Thanks for the link. I followed his steps as close as i could and everything seems to be working flawlessly.

ZTE Nubia Z5s wrong Gapps

Well, it seems like I have ****ed up trying to flash Gapps onto my brand new Nubia Z5s (not the mini version)
The first thing I did was rooting it (using Vroot or Iroot) which worked perfectly. It installed Superuser just fine
Then I had some problems getting a custom recovery.
After ****ing up my recovery by flashing with the chinese tool most people seem to use, I finally got a working english CWM (using the program depicted in the first image of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2749259).
At this point I should have made a backup, but I did not. Retarded me installed flashify and used it to flash Gapps. That's where it went wrong. When the phone rebooted, I got flooded with error messages about google processes that had stopped. I did manage to get into my settings screen, where I don't get flooded. From there I can alter USB debugging and all that stuff.
I then made a backup from CWM recovery of this situation, which is the one I currently am in. I did try to flash another Gapps zip over the Gapps I flashed with flashify, but that just sent my device into bootloop. I got out of bootloop by restoring the backup I made. I also tried flashing MIU (http://www.needrom.com/download/nubia-z5s-miui-v5-2/). It looked fine for the first minute, but then it suddenly started rebooting at random, and it turned out most apps woulden't open. So I restored to the backup once again.
Could anyone please help me figure out how to get Gapps working? I frankly dont care on which rom, as long as it doesn't have buggs (The stockrom didn''t have any either).
Topic can be closed or deleted, already solved the issue:
I flashed a rom from Needrom,. which is the stock Nubia OS with Gapps built in. Works perfectly now!

Xposed Installer Help

Hi guys
Apologies if this has been posted in the wrong section.
I have recently inherited a Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) running the CyanogenMod 12.1, Android Version 5.1.1
I have spent the last two day trying to and failing miserably to install Xposed Installer V3.0 Alpha 2, I have searched Google and read through numerous forums on how to resolve this, but the more I read the more confusing it becomes. I would really appreciate any help/assistance in helping me fix the problem, so that I can run the app without any issues. When I access the app's log it states:
data/data/de.robv,android,xposed.installer/log/error.logpen failed. ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Also, when I try to run Titanium Backup 6.1.0, I get an error stating:
Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please very that your ROM is rooted, and try again.
This attempt was made using the "/system/xbin/su" command.
I have gone into Developer Options and set Root Access to Apps and ADB.
As I new to Android my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong) that the CyanogenMod 12.1 was actually a ROM and therefore Titanium Backup should work. FYI SD Maid not working.
Any help on both of these issues would be most appreciate, please bear in mind I am a noob where Android and Galaxy S2 are concerned.
Thanks in advance.
The forum for the i9100 is located here, but because it's so close to the i777 we can probably help a bit.
Sounds to me like your phone isn't rooted, as none of the apps you mention will work without root privileges. Install the latest SuperSU; you should be getting access prompts if you're correctly rooted.
If you are not prompted for root access when opening apps such as Titanium Backup, you'll need to install Framaroot and use the Aragorn exploit in order to easily root your device. Let us know if either of these work for you.
Hi Steve
Thanks for the reply.
I should have mentioned that I already have Super SU installed and for certain apps it does ask me to grant access. If open Super SU it displays the following apps:
Titanium Backup
Root Explorer

Strange. In that case have you tried doing a complete wipe in recovery, then reinstalling the ROM? In your case you would boot into recovery, wipe /system and dalvik cache, then install ROM and gapps. Just make absolutely certain you're running a custom recovery before doing this, such as CWM (ClockworkMOD) or TWRP (TeamWin), or you could damage your device if you're on stock recovery. And, of course, make sure you have the ROM/gapps already on your device before wiping everything!
Because you inherited the device the best method would normally be to flash back to stock and start all over - if for nothing else it's a good learning experience. Hope this helps.
Hi Steve
Thanks for the reply and your advice/information, very informativinformativ.
I was trying to avoid a complete wipe and reinstalling the ROM again, as Android is new to me and I don't want to mess up the installation and wreck the phone, even it was free. However, I think I have no choice and will have to bite the bullet and do it.
Thanks once again.

As long as you have a custom recovery there's very little that can go wrong with a full wipe. I would suggest booting into recovery first (power button + both volume keys, then release at the Samsung logo) and make sure you're running either CWM or TWRP. While in recovery do a backup first, as a "just in case". You can always restore your device fully from a backup.
The next thing to remember is to make sure your ROM/gapps are compatible with one another. For instance, if you're installing a CM12 (Android 5.0+) ROM make sure your gapps are also 5.0+.
Best of luck!
When I attempt to go into Recovery Mode it does so, but opens a CyanogenMod screeb, it dies not show any options to backup/restore, it foes however have the complete wipe option. When I run ROM Manager I have done the following Recovery Setup, which now shows Recovery Already Installed:
ClockworkMod Recovery
TWRP
But I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, for neither option to be available in Recovery Mode?

Best option for you is to go to the i9100 forum and download a kernel for your phone that is compatible with the OS version you want to install (CM12, which is 5.1. in your case). With your device (as well as our i777), the kernel and recovery are fused together, so you cannot use ROM Manager to install a recovery to a separate partition.
Once you have an i9100 5.1 kernel downloaded on your phone you can flash it through the current recovery you have, then immediately reboot back into recovery. You'll then have the correct recovery and can proceed as normal with the ROM installation.
CWM absolutely has a backup/restore option, but it's hidden in a sub menu. My personal recommendation is to use TWRP recovery, as it's still being developed and is more robust/user friendly.
So as a general rule stay away from ROM Manager for system specific changes.
Thank you so much for the information/advice, I really do appreciate all of it.

Acer Iconia One 10 B3-A20 softbrick

Hey guys,
I just tried to root my Acer Iconia One 10 B3-A20 (not A3-A20!!!) with Kingsroot and it kinda worked. I could grant root access to apps and modify some stuff, but unfortunately after debloating something went wrong and my tablet is in a bootloop. I performed a hardreset so I could start from the beginning. After completing the android set up I was thrown instantly to another bootloop. After some researches I tried to do the android set up but without the last step and I installed another launcher via playstore and email. Afterwards I could start and do whatever I want to do. Unluckily I'm again in an bootloop after I did a restart. I can't enter the android set up procedure anymore and can't install any apps from the playstore.
Right now I can do following:
- I can access the download mode and try to do something with adb, BUT I'm unauthorized and can't tick the USB debugging think as you can imagine
- Try to flash something via recovery, but untill now I could not flash anything
Does anybody have a suggestion? Stock recovery is still accessible, but somehow I can't flash anything.
Hope anybody can help me out.
Thanks in advance. Best Regards,
GerasVille
EDIT: It's solved and the thread can be closed.
Thanks to Shreps I could flash the stock firmware via stock recovery. Here is his post.

Hello, need help whith
I also had problems with kingroot, and decided to reset tablet "factory default".
The tablet would not start, loop on the logo. I saw this post, and download the "OS" official Acer ICONIA ACER ONE 10 B3-A20 and install it from a sd card and stock recovery.
Everything went well, the tablet starts asking me choose language, wifi network and login with google account I had before the reset. And here is the problem: I was not which account google it had before the reset, the tablet is 2nd hand and do not know how to solve this.
there any way you can skip this protection?
It is possible to flash a rom with spflash clean and able to put a new google account?
I'm bored to seek and find nothing.
Thanks in advance

Is there any way to configure "ResearchDownload" to work with cyanogen recovery?

Is there any way to configure "ResearchDownload" to work with cyanogen recovery?
I've been trying to unbrick my lenovo A1000 (smartphone) for the past 6 hours. It got bricked after I tried to do the OTA update while i had Cyanogen recovery unstead of stock. I found the right tools, drivers, stock firmware to flash, but it can't be flashed with CWM. I keep getting "user cancel" without doing anything, and it just boots into cwm and does nothing.
So my questions:
Is there any way to configure ResearchDownload to work with cwm?
I can't find the right stock recovery for Lenovo A1000, given that its a relatively new and not well-known device. Any way to find that?
If i manage to find the stock recovery, how can I flash it?
I did a factory reset and cleared cache after the failed OTA Update, so I am not sure if I can find any files from within my device.
Thanks for helping!
