thanks
i just fixed it today

I'm having a similar issue with my g flex 2. I did a factory reset and now it does a loop on the setup wizard. I cannot get to the recovery screen by pushing the power button and volume down and I can't get it to connect with my computer with usb. Is there another way to do a hard reset?

If you stuck on Google Account , you can try this:
When you enter your email address, select all and hold your finger to showing option. "Cut, Copy, Past, Assist"
Use Assist, choose >> No thanks . And a browser will be showing.
Enter "Setting" And the settings icon will show up.
Go to Settings then Apps.
Disable every single Google app (Chrome, Slides, Sheets, Gmail, maps, Youtube, Hangouts etc. etc anything that is Google in origin.)
Disable all Google Play everything including Play Services and Store
Disable Google Account Manager and Google App
Disable Google services like calendar and contacts sync, text to speech I think, services framework, one time init, and partner setup
Also went to Security, Administrators, and removed Device Manager
---pretty sure I covered it...
back out of menu, reboot phone.
You should be able uncheck Wi-Fi and Mobile networks and still be able to hit Next at the bottom right, FRP check is disabled. Once it boots all the way into the interface, go to Settings, Backup and Reset and do a factory reset.

That was unsuccessful. Any other suggestions?
I put in my google account info and it worked fine, but it just keeps looping through the setup instead of finishing it. At the end, if I time it right, I can swipe down and get into settings so I thought I could reset it that way, but the reset option isn't even there.

Try to Reflash the phone with LGUP using "Refurbished" mode.

Thanks. I figured out how to flash it using these instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593
My phone is working great again. I'm new at this but that seems like doing pretty much the same thing. One question though. Supersu is still showing up in the apps. I rooted my phone a long time ago but I figured that would have been deleted through this process.

Same isseue

my phone keeps restarting!

hi,
i am not rooted with stock(one s), and all of a sudden my phone stuck and started restarting itself over and over again.
what should i do ?
i can access the special screen when holding the volume button, but i dont know what to do there.
can someone help me please?
Boot into your recovery and recover an old image or wipe ROM and reinstall. The Boot.img from the previous ROM you were using was probably messed up and this should probably resolve your issue.
Dude he has not rooted how will he recover an old image and flash new ROMs??
Go into bootloader(the special screen u mentioned above) and do a factory reset from there...

i have a crazy problem!
i made already 3-4 factory reset, and after the reset, everything works perfectly until i try do activate or de-activate the wifi. when i click "on" the phone crashes again and goes into restart loop, and in order to stop it i need to do factory reset.
I don't know what to do!!
Now,go into fastboot and flash the kernel(boot.img) and then do a factory reset...this should work...
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app
actually, i just find how to fix this problem.
(i don't know how to flash kernel or stuff like that cause i never did it.)
though i searched the internet and read about the same problem that someone had, and the fix is to cancel the "sync internet" for the google account in "settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Google -> uncheck Sync Internet"
than i can turn on\off WiFi how much i want with no boot loop.
the bad thing is that i needed to do like 4 factory resets until i got it.i think that if it happen that it is possible to clear somehow the storage data via the boot loader and re-configure the google account and imminently uncheck the "sync internet" check-box. and in this case a factory reset is not needed. but it's too late for me
this is the link where i find the solution:

does any one know what this "sync Internet" does in the google account? i

[Completed] Zopo ZP820 OS Corrupted-cannot reflash or reset

Ill try to be as descriptive as possible
Zopo ZP820 running 4.2.2
Phone worked fine the other day, went to use it yesterday morning, kept saying all running processes forced quit over and over, all google services, etc.
If i reboot the phone, it keep showing the same 4 Gmail emails, the same 4 text messages. If i go in and physically delete all of the emails and text messages, they are gone. If i reboot the phone, they all come back.
Also went in and uninstalled every single app on phone that was allowable, basically it went back to stock apps, even uninstalled all updates to all google services, etc.
Reboot the phone, everything is back to the way it was, apps and all, and this is after removing the SD card and powering off and rebooting.
Tried to do a factory reset from the settings screen, it reboots into recovery mode, the only options i had were to wipe cache and reset data/cache, when done, i reboot, and yet again it goes back to the same exact way.
It is almost as if the entire phone restores itself every reboot to the same setup.
Also tried using newest SP Flash Tools with 3 different versions of the ROM for my phone, the original stock one, the updated stock one and a custom MIUI one. I go thru the entire process for the two stock ones, it says it formatted and reflashed, but reboot again and it is back to same one that is corrupt.
If i try to use the MIUI one using the recovery option holding power and vol down, when i choose the zip file for the MIUI, it says installation aborted.And what is ieven more odd is that if i reinstall all of the programs or even new apps, if i reboot they are all gone as if they were never installed.
Is there a way that the phone can be totally wiped so that no trace of any files on the phone exist at all? in SP Tools there was an auto format and manual format i did both, but got the same results
Any help would be greatly appreciated

LG Spirit 4G LTE ~ h440n10d

Hello there guys!
I'm having a really hard time here and i hope you can help me
I have the LG Spirit 4G h440n10d. I had the phone rooted with kingroot and everything was fine.
After an application install that was taking a lot of memory (hearthstone), my phone started lagging before i delete it. After the app's removal, my home and open apps buttons didn't work and neither did the volume buttons. Only the "Back" button worked.
So i tried to reset factory settings from the menu. After the phone reset, i had the LG welcome page in which you insert phone name, wifi, google account, locking methods etc. so i thought everything was fine. But this happened with every restart of the phone. It seemed like the settings weren't saved and my home and apps buttons didn't work again after the factory reset.
After this, i deleted some android files (i regret it a lot) from kingroot application and... voila!
...
After phone reset i can't do nothing and it stays in LG welcome page (i get a small message that "settings" has stopped working) and phone closes by it self.
I tried to flash my phones .kdz version i found with LG flash tools 2014 but my phone stays in "update firmware" page and the program's bar doesn't move (even if i ignore the server communication error).
I saw that my phone has locked bootloader and doesn't have a recovery mode. What can i do now? How can i install a clean firmware to it? I'm willing to answer any of your questions and also i would much appreciate any help given.
Thanks in advance!

When connected to Wifi apps download and install automatically

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy SPH-P500 Android ver. 4.1.2 Build JZO54K.P500VPBMB3 Kernel 3.0.31-929664.
It was never activated. I tried to have Ting and Sprint activate but both were unable to. One day it started downloading an upgrade. Since then every time I connect to Wifi it downloads and installs dozens of apps. I have uninstalled them and have done a factory reset 3 times. I have installed Malwarebytes but it doesn't find any malware. Nothing I do seems to stop the downloads. So many apps are downloaded it makes it hard to use the tablet and it slows it down. This tablet was rooted before trying to activate and I thought that may be the reason we couldn't so I unrooted it. I have tried to root it again but it won't root. I have tried to boot into safe mode but it doesn't work by holding the power and volume down buttons. When Ting was troubleshooting, they had me use the calculator to boot into the safe mode but I forgot how we did it. I think I may need to flash the factory rom but I not quite sure where to start. Please help!! I am just learning where things are on the tablet even though I have had it for a couple of years so please don't use too technical terms.
Thanks
this is done by google play
go in parameters & disable this option

Thanks for your reply. Is this Google Play Store that does this? Sorry to be a noob but how do I get to parameters to disable this.
Thanks for your patience.
start google play (not wifi connected)
choose parameters option
regards
I have rooted the tablet with Kingroot and have uninstalled or disabled almost everything, but still have the issue. Everytime I connect to wifi, apps are downloaded and installed automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions? If I should install the factory rom, please direct me to where I can get the file and the directions to install. Thanks
OK
Thanks for all the suggestions. Nothing is working. Now when I turn off Wifi, after a second of two, it comes back on so I can't stop all the apps from downloading and installing. The apps use all my memory so if I try to do anything the tablet is slow and there is always some screen popping up. If I install the factory rom, will that get rid of everything and put it back to original? Doing a factory reset doesn't help.

Boot loop on optimizing apps

I have the US 32gb unlocked version. Tried to do the downgrade to install CM using the method mentioned several times that changes the version from a command put in twrp.
First I unlocked bootloader, then installed twrp, then did the command line thing to lower the fw version, then put the v1.12 firmware on zip then rebooted to install.
Well, the install failed so I decided to stop there and try to put everything back to stock by using the latest ruu exe from HTC. The exe started sending a file to phone, then locked up and threw an error. I restarted the exe and it finally passed. I got everything set up and went to bed while it was updating apps.
This morning, shut off phone to put in SD, and when turning on it was optimizing apps then when done, would reboot and optimize again. The phone was stuck in this loop until I let the battery die. I couldn't do anything with it.
Battery finally died and tried to run the ruu exe again. This time it would not pass at all, no matter how many tries. I wanted to try to run the zip from SD but the latest firmware I can only find as exe.
Finally decided to just do a factory reset from recovery mode. This let the phone boot normally and I could do set up again. I tried doing a soft reboot, and it booted fine. Then I disabled apps I don't use, and did a full power down, now the phone is back to doing the 'optimizing apps' bootloop.
Right now I'm waiting for it to run its battery down again so I can at least get to download mode/recovery. Maybe I will try a full power off and app disabling separately, to see which is causing the loop.
Anyone have an idea what's going on? A link to the latest ruu in zip form? I really need a sure fire way to get this thing full clean stock (remember the exe is failing for me) to eliminate if thats the cause. Is it because I edited the version number?
Edit: just realized I put this in the wrong section
Update: Once battery died, I did factory reset again from recovery. Went through setup, and I then immediately shut the phone completely off and turned back on. It booted up fine. I then went to disable the same apps as before, EXCEPT for the "Google App". Phone still powers up fine, so I left it there and phone is working fine. I didn't want to see if disabling the Google App was causing the phone to boot loop. I had that app disabled the entire time I've had the phone, but don't think I've ever completely shut the phone down, so maybe that's why I never had the problem.
Still don't know why the ruu exe didn't work. Hopefully it was the computer, and I can still take updates.
I have the same problem, can't disable apps without phone going into bootloop on restart. Can you tell me what apps did you disable? Facebook, Instagram, Google docs, HTC apps etc,etc...

I think what caused my problem was disabling the app called "Google App". No problem disabling all the Facebook and Instagram apps.
What about Google docs, slides and news apps? Can those be disabled?
Same problem with my A9 bought a week ago. Like Rouyal, I recall disabling the Google App and then came the OTA update and the bootloop. Tried alll permutations of buttons and even when I could get to RECOVERY MODE, all the options looped as well, returning to the same screen: no bootloader, no recovery. The only alternative screen was the "Enter your code to decrypt your drive" after leaving RECOVERY MODE. It looped as well. Copied the stock RUU to an external SD card; did nothing (with HTC Sync).
SOLUTION: Enter wrong codes for the "decrypt your drive" screen 30 times; that is the limit before the drive gets a factory reset. After the 30th it was factory reset. On restarting, the systems asks for the SAME email that was used previously.
