I rooted my LG G2. After it rebooted my phone I have no access to my home screen. It will flash a couple of
times and goes to open pages screen and stays there. I can't get to any apps or other parts of my phone. Only
thing I can do is a hard press to my home button to get to Google search

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
If you have Google Now as part of the home long press, you should be able to tell it to open Settings app (tap the microphone and say "Open Settings"). From there, go to Developer Options (if not listed, go to About Phone and tap Build Number 7 or 8 times), and turn on ADB debugging (if not turned on already). From there, you can push a launcher to your device.
If no Google Now (or an easier alternative), Play store may still be active and can download apps in the background (including launchers) if one used a PC and set that app to install to that device.
So a couple of options.
For more options, or if you need clarification on what needs to be done, can post to this thread explaining your predicament (once you have registered for an XDA account):

Hi, I am having Samsung Sm-G7106. Query is that when I dial the call or the recieves the display goes off till other side persons cut or ends the call.
Hi,
Some devices you can turn the screen back on by shaking it a bit.... Or you can press the power button quickly.
There may be ways to keep the display on completely, but I'm not sure. Other than setting the screen timeout longer in display settings. Try phone app settings for a keep screen awake option too.

Hey guys!
Interesting problem I've been working on, my friend's sister has a tablet (did some research, 99% sure it's the Ubox A13-MID) that has a pattern lock. She forgot the pattern, and also doesn't know what the main gmail attached to it is. I've attempted several unlock patterns, no 'forgot password?' prompt comes up. The tablet also doesn't appear to have a fastboot or recovery menu... pressing power+vol up, power+vol down, and power+vol up+down doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold the buttons, no matter if I let the power button go after a couple seconds, nothing happens. She's not tech savvy, so I know USB debugging isn't enabled. The tablet has an SD slot, and I'm not certain if it supports OTG. But even with these considered as possible ways of restoring the tablet (by any means possible, including root), I don't see any way of doing anything with them without any system menus.
By the way, I hope this isn't a violation to ask this (any kid could come on here and ask how to unlock a stolen device, lol), so please forgive me if it is. If it would be of any aid, I have two rooted androids of my own, both support OTG. Just throwing that out there in case either of them may be able to aid in unlocking this crapplet.
Safe mode doesn't help, and launching the 'power off/airplane mode/sound' window DOES reveal the back button, home button, and screenshot button along the bottom of the device's screen, as well as the option to increase/decrease volume (I was hoping there would be the tiny chance of a settings icon there to bypass the screen). Been swiping up to see if I could launch something to bypass it, as a bug. I can take screenshots this way, but that seems to be all.
I was able to bug out the tablet by dragging the clock to the trashcan, the 3 dot icon came up on the bar but when I clicked it, the tablet just powered off
When it came back on, the clock was back, and the same cycle occurred when I did it again.
Is this a lost cause?

Hello everyone, Hope all is well with you all. I bought the Boost Mobile Lg Tribute 2 [LG LS665] [android v5.1.1] about 3 days ago now and as with any new android based device I get, gaining root and installing a custom recovery becomes my first priority. Well gaining root was no problem at all for me using the KingRoot app but the problem occurred when uninstalling some system apps\ bloatware. I uninstall the same system apps every time I get a device with no problems whatsoever. On my new Lg Tribute 2 I didn't uninstall anything I haven't before except this time when I restarted my phone I was(and am everytime I restart now) greeted with the usual phone initial setup accept it starts at the accessibility screen. Now keep in mind that my phone is already setup and has apps installed. When I continue the setup it goes through as normal and all my apps and wallpaper are still there accept my status bar won't pull down and my home and menu buttons don't work anymore. When I restart as stated previously I'm confronted with the initial accessibility setup - choose language - choose wifi etc ..... What i have found today is that instead of going through the initial setup at each restart I can instead access the settings through the lock screen and when i choose Settings \Home screen\Select Home\ and pick 'Home' it simply bypasses the setup and loads the home screen which is great accept when I go that route my Home and Menu soft keys are still disabled (not highlighted and unresponsive) plus my status bar still wont pull down unless the phone is locked. What did I uninstall to do this. I can't remember what apps i uninstalled off the top of my head and can't find a list of preinstalled system apps on line to compare with. I know this is long so I apologize but I am stumped. Google search comes up empty as the Tribute 2 is fairly new as is 5.1.1 so any help would be appreciated very much. Also I for the life of me cannot find anything for the lg tribute 2 that could help me such as a working custom recovery, a stock image or any custom roms. Thank you for taking the time to read this very very very much.
Summary of problems:
1. Confronted with initial phone setup at each restart even though phone is setup.
2. My status bar won't pull down unless phone is on lock screen. (luckily because this gives me access to the phone settings and homescreen).
3. My soft home and menu buttons don't work at all ( only back button still works).
4. Cannot find stock image on line to reflash.

It sounds like you just need to complete the setup screen, is it connected to a Google account? I had a similar problem when I needed my Google password to complete setup. It's called Google FRP factory reset protection
I have a Moto G2 recently updated to android M. Since the last few days, I'm facing the following issues,
1) Notification Panel does not come down completely, the quick settings don't show up on the screen, only shows, "no notifications".
2)Home button does not work when an app is open, it only works when I'm on "recent apps".
3)Even though I have set up password lock, when i press the power button to unlock the phone, it unlocks without asking for password.
4)It won't let me factory reset. The "reset" button in settings doesn't light up (simiar to a button you arent allowed to press) so when i press t, there is no response. Resetting through recovery mode doesnt work, it shows the resting android saying "no command" and eventually starts up with the same files, apps and settings I had before.
These problems did not start immediately afer updating to marshmallow.

This phone doesn't appear to have a way to factory reset it, by using the hardware buttons. I've tried pressing the power button and the volume up at the same time, as well as pressing the power and the volume down button at the same time. I've even tried pressing both volume buttons while pressing the power button at the same time, all that got me was into "safe mode", which doesn't do a thing for me, or the phone. I've even gone to "live chat" with Kyocera and Boost mobile, they have both told me that there is no way to get in and reset the phone. (Unless I want to send the phone and $29 to some address they'll give me, and they will load the "original software". ) I don't want to do that, I bought the phone for only $10 from a thrift store.
Is there any way I can find, and download the "original software", or whatever else might work on this phone, from anywhere?
thanks for any help you can give me!!
