Ever heard of it?
Later this day I got my phone out my pocket and it asked for my pin code. I entered it and my phone got to the home screen, the original one ( normally I'm using go launcher ex) with the (white) letters safe mode down at the left corner... I tried to click on apps but my phone got stuck and when it booted back up the letters were gone...
Have you ever seen that before? Where is the safe mode for?
Safe mode happen when you hold menu when boot your phone, " generally it lets you boot your phone without starting 3rd party apps to let you uninstall any apps that runs amok - probably in an fc loop. "
People can use this option when they got probleme before try a wipe data/factory reset

Short story: Checked the wrong app without looking twice, didn't back up, hit "delete apps" button, and ... screen went black (except for notification bar)
Now, I can't boot back up, and its stuck on my custom boot logo....
Any way to fix this without losing everything ? >.>
boot on recovery and reinstall CM7 without wiping, it might fix the issue without losing anything
Envoyé depuis mon LG-P999 avec Tapatalk
yeah install cm7 again without wiping. It'll fix it. P.s. try hellfire 2.1, it uses cm7.2
Going to Play store on your PC and installing a launcher like ADW from there will also fix it, it will get pushed to your phone and when you hit home key it will go home. Assuming data works on your phone of course.

He did just say it won't even boot... Just stays at the boot image...
Being unable to boot because of having deleted the launcher is still weird...Can you at least boot into recovery (power + Vol. Down) ?
I want to reset my tablet due to I'm going to be selling it. I've unrooted it, but SpuerSU is still on the system. I've gone into the backup and reset and selected factory reset and it asks for a PIN number, which I thought I knew, but I guess I don't cause it doesn't like anything I type in.
I have also booted holding power and volume up/right. I get a warning menu about pressing left to flash new rom or right to cancel...
What do I do? I want to reload this to like the day I unboxed it...
Thanks,.
No one has any knowledge of this????

Based on it asking for a pin number it sounds like you setup a pin at some point. I run a pin number on my superSU but I'm not sure what happens when you forget the pin number.
I know inside supersu there's an option for full unroot.
Maybe message chainfire the dev of it. I looked at it just now and there's nothing that comes up if you forget the pin number

The pin number is for the android factory reset, not for super user app.

Dude calm down, it is not a big deal (at least I don't think so). Just go back to recovery (twrp or cwm). Re-flash the ROM you used or if you have a backup then restore from there

Hi,
So i decided to install NOVA launcher and kept it as default launcher.
No when i wanted to go back to google launcher the system was getting crashed and some error like : "systemui" is not working was poping up.
Meanwhile i was getting notifications of whatsapp messenger and i could use it but when i was trying to exit the app , again the problem occured.
Thats when i decided to reboot the phone to my bad luck it is not going further after "FOUR CIRCLES(red,green,yellow and blue) which comes after google logo.
I had previously owned S2 and when i used nova launcher and tried to switch back ( aftr uninstalling nova) it automatically use to use google launcher.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,

If it won't boot you may have to fastboot the factory image can you get into recovery and do you have a custom recovery If so try clearing cache in it

I need you to answer a few questions before anyone can help...
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Eg. TWRP or CM?)
- If not, are you rooted?
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery?
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty?
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone.
Basically, if you have a custom recovery installed or are not rooted with warranty, don't panic.
In not an advanced user but I know done stuff... And there's always a way!

Gave good 10 + mins
Will try it one more time.I guess it should hardly take about 30 secs or so.
Oh, and also, see if you can fastboot by pressing the power button and volume down whilst booting up. If you can't, then try pressing power button + volume up + volume down whilst booting up.

- If not, are you rooted? NO
- If you do, have u made a Backup through your custom recovery? NO,I dont mind if my data is lost
- If you're not rooted, do you have warranty? YES,but now i stay in different country.so count it as NO
- If you don't have warranty, how long have you had you're phone for, because Google provide warranty for a certain amount of time with your phone. have been using since 2 months

If factory reset doesn't work then you option is to flash the factory image. Have you unlocked the bootloader?

This is probably why it crashed. Your phone doesn't have a launcher to boot into. That's the reason it is boot looping. As mentioned earlier, you'll have to flash the factory image.

Yea, i feel the same. I forgot it was google launcher and its a nexus phone.
If it would have been some other trebuche launcher(like in samsung) , this problem would'nt have persisted.

That is the stock recovery. You can press both volume buttons at the same time, to show the recovery options.
Flashing the factory image is very easy. You put your phone in fastboot mode, plug it into your computer, and simple run the Flashall.bat (or .sh depending on your OS.)
Touchwiz Home in Samsung devices does not rely on google search. Our Nexus has a launcher that requires google search to run. Otherwise you can install AOSP launcher.

@vzuwOw if you run into this problem again just fastboot flash the system.img, not the flash-all.bat. it would have kept the rest of your settings and you wouldn't have to redo your while phone.

Try booting in safe mode. If it still reboots, then flash a factory image with fastboot. If it still reboots then, you've got a hardware problem.

If you flashed a factory image and it still does it, then it is likely a hardware issue.
Replying to your PM- Boot into safe mode by pressing the power button, and when the reboot menu comes up, press and hold "Power off" until the option to reboot to safe mode pops up. Then just hit OK.

Safe mode boots your phone without any 3rd party apps or non essential software. It basically only loads the stuff your phone needs to run which will help to eliminate any apps as the culprit. Yes you'll still get calls, but any apps you use won't be accessible. It's not something that's meant to be used all the time, just for troubleshooting. So, if you still get reboots while in safe mode, that means you either have a hardware problem, or a firmware glitch. But since you said you already flashed the factory image that pretty much rules out the firmware, leaving hardware as being your issue.
