I decided to go ahead and reset my LG sunrise as I want to do an experiment with multiple devices, but after doing this the keyboard refuses to show. It is installed, it shows as an option in settings, but it doesn't pop up when prompted

Try installing another keyboard and see if you can get one to show up.
Now, I know you can't type because of this but go to the play store and look in "top free" and there's bound to be one in there somewhere.

Perhaps grab an Apk of whatever keyboard you chose and side load it? Have you tried that at all?

How would I do that?
Edit:
Decided to search and I'm thinking I should install through ADB, but if I do that will it install as a system app? Is there a way I can replace the stock keyboard or repair it with this?

Connect the device to a PC if you have one and put the APK on the phone, Use a file explorer and install it. If the device doesn't have a file explorer, Then grab one of those too.
If you really wanted too you could use ADB, You'll need root access though to get it in as a System app.

Ah so, after I install the keyboard I can't go through setup?
Are you stuck in the setup menus? Is that what's happening??
If so then you'd probably have to remove the current keyboard and ADB push a new one.
Have you tried restoring it again to see if it shows after?

Yes, I'm stuck there. I tried using a USB keyboard with otG to no avail, so it seems I'll have to push a new keyboard. How would I remove the old one?

With ADB you can easily remove it, However though, If your not rooted, Then I advise against this because you WILL NOT be able to push it or another app back without root.

Ok, as the rooting thread is getting overwhelmed with users not being able to find their correct deviceID, not being able to put java in their %path% or just having problems due to a 64bit version of java or whatever else could go wrong
All other valid questions are getting snowed in their so I thought i might be better to get a new thread to make sure it will get answered
After having my x10 succesfully rooted I no longer have my keyboard on any field, I also tried with long pressing the menu button (which normally would show or hide the keyboard) but with no success . Anybody have a clue how I can get my keyboard back again?
I did enable the HTC_IME btw in the language settings.
I had the same problem, just installed older version, v25 i think, and it works..
Hmmmm for some weird reason it just appeared lol.... I had opened up google search but didn't close as I wasn't getting the keyboard but just had put the phone down for a while as I needed to do some other stuff. When I got back the phone was showing the HTC keyboard and it now opens very quickly every time I go into a field or it at least responds on my long pressing the menu button while I'm in a field
Just install the HTC-IME again

in case it wasn't installed correctly you can also find it in your step4 apps folder from the root package, it's called com.htc.clicker.apk. Copy it to your SD and mount the sd back on the phone and install it from there.
Also make sure HTC_IME is selected in your country settings and text.
Thank you guys, found it in google and installed it. Keyboard is fine.

solution in post 4-5 root thread
I have read through all the previous posts, and still can't sideload any apps. The apk downloads into "My Files>Downloads", but when I try to open them the NT says the file is not in an acceptable format. I even followed the phone trick - downloaded to my smartphone and snatched the .apk file in backups through astro file manager. Man oh man, nothing will work! Can anyone help?
did you check the box to install from unkown sources (or whatever it's called)
I would factory reset and try again... did you ever root it or stock?
Did you download and install Go Launcher first?
I am not rooted. To factory reset, do I Erase and Deactivate straight from the nook? I'm thinking back to my old RCA Reb 100 days - and at one point, you couldn't re-register the darn things. I remember reading on this forum a one-step process to return to stock. Maybe I should find that thread again.
Are you trying to open it via the notification bar (arrows in the bottom left corner) or via the Library file browser? It only works via the notification bar for me.

You need to download "Appmenu", enable unknown apk source installations and then you will be able to side load. Fyi that apk is on this forum.
I've tried opening it both ways. I've also emailed myself an apk file and tried to open the attachment, but the attachment comes through with an unknown file type. And then NT says it's not in an acceptable format. grrrrrrrrrrrr.-
So when you use the nooks default browser to download an .apk....you click at the bottom to run it and the settings menu doesnt load??

The problem was that you used the wrong app installer the first time you tried to sideload. This forever makes the nook unable to sideload apps. after this happens you must factory restore and only use the bottom app launcher.
So I went a little app uninstalling crazy after rooting my phone while trying to get rid of the Verizon bloatware. One of the things I uninstalled was the default keyboard and now I'm having some trouble.
My work email requires the phone to be encrypted, but when I do that I can't get past boot encryption! I have no keyboard showing up anymore.
I've factory reset the phone a few times and don't have the list of things I uninstalled anymore, dumbass move I know.
Does anyone know the name of or have a link to the default keyboard that comes installed? Or know how to get a keyboard to show up on the boot encryption?

Installed and just added encryption and still no keyboard at boot :crying:
I'm thinking I might just return the phone today since I got it very recently.
Just an fyi, in the future use titanium backup, our something similar to, to freeze the apps not delete them. That way if you mess something up you can just unfreeze them. I suppose you're also on me7?
You could Odin back to stock and then re-root. I'd think that would fix the issue.
Try to Odin back to stock like wolfgrrl said and don't forget a nandroid backup,backup,backup..,lol
Don't Odin that's a waste of time. I did the same thing. Just download a ROM that is not themed and pull the SamsungIME.apk file then push to system apps via root explorer. Set permission then reboot. Super simple. I have an apk for it. Just pm me and I'll send you a drop box link.

Dude, i just did the same mistake and remembered a really EASY solution. As my phone was rooted i just downloaded a stock keyboard zip into phone's sdcard and installed through recovery mode. Rebooted and voila! keyboard was back to decrypt phone.

Hey man,
Can you got the solution for this issue?
Since 2 hours, I got the same problem in my S4 (KitKat). I tried installing stock keyboard zip (androidfilehost.com/?fid=23032113221600607), but it doesn't work.
Pls, help me. I have my phone unavailable.
Hey guys, I got the tablet yesterday to get rid of that "too many pattern attempts" screen. The owner of course doesn't remember the credentials to his google account, so he gave it to me to get rid of the lock, without hard-resetting if possible.
I have no idea what the Android version is; I can't get past the log in screen. I can't root it/delete that one small file responsible for all of this since ADB isn't enabled. The Android recovery seems to be the only option, but of course, I can't use unsigned zips like AROMA File Manager... or can I?
I'd like to know if I have any options besides resetting to factory settings from the recovery screen. And what does it delete? Only apps, their data and system settings or pretty much everything?

Try an update as it may removed the lock (although I think it will stay in place) Have a look at my stickied FAQ for how to and look at my signature for update zips.
Stifilz
Knowing how Android works, I would expect the update to either delete all the data or keep everything. I thought more of running something from the recovery, but I see how it may not be possible.

The update will keep all the files. You can ONLY install Sony signed zips anyway so this is the only hope. Or a recovery of the password for Google... Which you stated is a no go...

Downloaded the update from your thread (Polish version) and I can't seem to be able to open the zip... is it supposed to be like that? I'd see if I could modify it by any chance to delete/overwrite that one file.

It is encrypted and signed by Sony. You can decrypt it, modify it and re-sign it but IT WILL NOT WORK. We do not have SONY'S private key for sigining... Otherwise we could ad SU etc, this is not the case.

Use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log after the update fails. USB debugging is always enabled in recovery

Weird, the device wasn't visible through adb devices...
Anyway, it doesn't matter much now since I tried updating to an older update (revision 1a? Sth like that) and it didn't fix the problem, so in the end I had to wipe data. I could probably experiment a bit if I didn't have to give back the tablet yesterday.
Just wipe the device via recovery, the key files are in /data/system so unless you have root and ADB then a wipe will have to do.
A wipe via recovery will not wipe the emulated internal or just external storage such as SD and USB.

my phone has been doing weird stuff lately like apps that i specificaly turned off will now turn on by themselves, my battery drains faster too, getting more calls from a "private number".
i updated my phone to the latest update and it runs android 9 pie.
all apps are up to date aswell. i check that often.
i scanned with malwarebytes but it found nothing suspicious.
bootloader is locked aswell. not rooted.
any ideas about what might be happening or how to fix this?
thanks in advance.
If you turn off an user-app it only gets stopped for the time you have Android actually running. When you restart Android then it's brought back to life again.

I have this phone for like 2 years now, those apps that i disabled have remained disabled for 2 years now even when i restart phone or shutdown and boot up again. now suddenly 3 of them enable themselves while i am not doing anything.
1: Youtube app
2: Google News app
3: Google Photo app.
These apps were disabled for at least 2 years. i have no clue how they can re-enabled themselves without me pushing the enable button.

no need, i am glad you tried to help. maybe it sounds a bit dull but it has been like this for a whole week now where i have to make sure i dont update these apps and disable them first before using google play to update all apps.
i changed launcher now to Evie launcher. maybe that work since these apps dont enable themselves for a full day now.
seems like its still going even after launcher change. its only those 3 apps that were disabled and now get enabled automatically.
Why not simply uninstall the apps in question?

You can disable them with adb commands. It effectively hides them. When done right the system no longer sees them as installed or running and they dont get updates from the play store anymore. Should sort out your problem with them re-enabling automatically. Not sure if you have done this already,but if not,give it a try.

Oke i have not tried it via adb, what i recently tried tho was unlocking my bootloader, but in adb my phone was only detected in normal usage mode where all the apps are, but in downloadmode it disapeared, even with the right driver installed.
So i have to run a few codes via adb when my phone is turned on with all the apps visible?

Yes,connect your phone powered up to your usb port of your laptop or p.c. and open adb command. Then run the command adb devices to make sure adb picks up your phone. If it does,you are good to go. Do you know how which command lines to run etc to uninstall apps in adb?

Bloatware is stored in Android OS partitions /system and/or /system-priv. Hence one needs ROOT privileges to remove it.

Yes,to remove the app and its files entirely root is needed. If you bothered to read the post,he is battling to keep the apps disabled. And by disabling them with adb the way i suggested,it should fix the problem for him.
