Hi I have just installed the latest update from settings - software update, with Jan security patch but when I turn off and restart holding power and up, it no longer goes to system boot menu which allows you to clear cache or factory restart.
I also have an error once restarted :
pdp back up fail set up wizard.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to reinstall the update or finding another way to clear app partition or am I forced into a factory reset?
thx
Hm, just checked and same here.
Did you try to do that using adb?

No it was a forced update through software update settings. Just done a factory reset (what a ballsache) and its still the same with same error with no access to clearing cache partition.
There is now a requirement to plug in the power before you can access the recovery menu. Works as just tried.
Confirmed by Samsung Members app incident which i logged.

I have been using the OnePlus One for about a month now, but all of a sudden the Youtube app stopped working.
Whenever I push the app icon the screen goes black for a second, and an error message shows for less then a second.
I have tried reverting the phone to factory defaults, but Youtube still won't open.
I have TWRP recovery and the device is rooted.
When I boot to TWRP recovery the log shows a problem with a file in the Youtube app, and the magazines app. I do not use the latter.
I get this in the log:
E:Unable to stat '/data/data/com.google.android.apps.magazines/cache'
E:Unable to stat '/data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/com.google.android.youtube_preferences.xml'
Any ideas of how to fix this?
Fixed
I have succeessfully solved my issue.
It involved encrypticting the phone first, and then afterwards formatting it in TWRP.
After this the phone was fully restored to factory defaults and now the Youtube app is working again.

Hi,
can you say something more about fixing this problem? I've exactly the same. What do you mean saying "encrypting the phone"?
I found an article on thewire.com called "Android's Factory Reset Doesn't Delete Everything. Here's How to Really Wipe Your Data"
1. Plug in your phone to charge.
This is going to take at least an hour, and will fail if your battery dies during the process.
2. Open the Settings Icon on your Android device
3. Select Security within the Settings list
4. Select Encrypt Phone
Wait about an hour.
5. When the process is complete, restore to factory settings as you usually would.

Hi All,
I did an upgrade to 5.1 (LMY47I) on my Nexus 5 and started facing some strange issues and have no clue on how to resolve them. Before the upgrade I had the following config:
Recovery: TWRP
Root status: Rooted
ROM: Stock 5.0 LRX22C
I used following method for the upgrade: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...e-update-rooted-device-to-5-1-lmy47d-t3050789
It was successful but post that I came across few issues as below:
1. Power button functionality was erratic. Sometimes it would lock my mobile but at other times it was locking and waking up my phone immediately. At times "Power Off" popup was also showing up. While I tried to figure out reason for that, trying power button multiple times, my phone rebooted and started the "Optimising Apps" sequence once again. It happened again a couple of times and so I decided to try out factory reset (since I hadn't done that after upgrading).
2. I did a factory rest from Settings. After factory reset, apps and other settings were gone but I noticed that user data in the storage was intact. I guess that also gets removed on a factory reset. Am I wrong on this one?
3. I wanted to install Cerberus as a system app and so I downloaded its zip from the website and flashed using recovery. I was surprised to see that the app wasn't showing after booting up. I tried couple of times more but got no success. So, I decided to install it from Play store and convert to system app using Link2SD. When I tried doing that, Link2SD gave me an error saying "/system: not enough storage space". I tried converting few other apps but got same error. Any thoughts on what could be going on here?
Thanks,
Anurag

1- Possibly hardware (power key) issue
2- Factory reset from Android OS *should* erase all user data.
3- Its just that, /system does not have enough free space to put more apps in there. Common issue after Lollipop. Remove some other app from /system, such as Maps, for example, to free up some more space. Be reminded that once you start messing with /system, this will (or might) cause issues with OTA updates.
So I managed to tackle (or at least figured the reason) for all the issues I was having:
1- Yes, there is some issue with the power key. ? But the other issue of optimising apps loop was because I did not do a clean install which disappeared when I did the factory reset after that.
2- After doing some reading on the Internet, I came to know that stock recovery cleans the user data but twrp doesn't by default. Since I had twrp, it just removed apps and settings but retained other data. In order to do a clean install I flashed stock LMY47I again including recovery, userdata etc. (used flash-all.bat). This removed everything from storage and made my phone as good as a new one (software wise).
3- Yes, it was the issue with storage space and was a surprise for me. Thanks for clarifying on that. Before I did a clean install, I tried removing couple of system apps and was able to install cerberus after that via recovery too. However, clean install solved everything.. ☺

Just like the title says. I'm using mm 6.0.1., stock, non-rooted. This started after I uninstalled Good Lock App from Galaxy App store. I already wiped cache using the up/home/power button method. I wiped the cache in Galaxy App app, I wiped the cache in Googles App store app for S'n'G's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And thank you in advance.
Update: Just reinstalled Good lock from the Galaxy App Store to see if it would restore the power button and recent app. It restored the recent app, but not the power button. To clarify, when I hold the power button down, it does not give me the option to power off/ restart etc. It just reboots and starts at the Sprint Screen. Trying to find solution before I have to do a factory reset.
Update: Will probably do a factory reset. All sorts of problems now. When I try to transfer files, open other programs, it all leads to a reboot. A real FUBAR. Not sure if this has to do with it as well. I use the Package Disable Pro App, when I upgraded to MM 6.0.1, I forgot to enable all my packages. I re-enabled them now to see if that would solve my dilemma, but it does not. So I will go through a factory reset and update how it comes out.
Update: I was able to finally do a factory reset after some trial and error. Will probably not use that Good Lock app until there is a more stable version. Everything seems to be back to normal, power button works fine and no more reboots by accessing apps or settings.

For future reference if you open the good lock app from the app drawer there's an option to uninstall it.

I knew that already, and I did. That is how this whole problem started. I mentioned that I did uninstall in my original post. Thanks for the obvious.

Yeah the same thing was happening to me after I updated to marshmellow. What I did to fix it was just reinstall the tar file here on XDA and it works fine after

I tried to remove Uc browser from my system. For some reason when i uninstalled it it fully crashed my system. Previously i had inadvertantly removed some of the cached files in its internal app folder. I tried then to uninstall it by using an app called Root Application. Still did not work. So tried reinstalling by directly going to website to get the apk file. Reinstalling was success but uninstalling or launching the app still crashed my system. Even going to app manager under setting to force stop it would cause system reboot.
Then i found out that i could not even go into recovery mode of twrp v.3.0.2-1. So i downloaded latest twrp for my p5110 v3.0.3 to try out. It seemed that it has replaced my older version since i could see the new version number but it still would not go into it. Right after i saw the splash screen it would go back to boot.
I tried going to setting and reset my tablet but everything seemed to come right back to original state. Nothing got wiped or cleaned, which i suspected it crashed before even getting to that operation.
Everything else seems to work with the machine. I could uninstall other app. I really do not know how to approach this problem. If i cannot go into recovery mode. What could i possibly do to revive my tablet.
Should i just use odin to flash a stock rom back? Would that wipe out twrp as well?
Please give me some suggestion.
are you going into recovery by holding the power button and volume down just checking
I did some experiments and here what i have found so far.
1. Uninstalling ub browser app will reboot it by any means.
2. I have managed to replace twrp with cwm. When i go and try to reformat /data partition it will reboot it as well. No factory reset can accomplish
3. Bring up application manager and while it computes statistics of memory usage it will reboot it
4. Test memory using emmc brickbug check app says all 16g healthy and problem free and it found no emmc bug saying it is sane
My next trial would be to flash back the stock rom but i am so afraid it will crash it while being flashed given my experience above.
Right now the machine seems to function well in all aspects. I suspect it is infected or some nand flash is damaged but not sure what that would be.
I won my battle. Here is what i have done. Revert to stock kernel to wipe over old system partition then whereupon i was able to factory reset the data partition. I suspect oc browser is playing havoc here since i had no way to eliminate it before i did all that. I advise against deploying it on your android
I really need help! Friend was messing with my phone and selected to factory reset it. I quickly grabbed it away but it already began to reboot, however I did not let it reboot. I forced it off.
Any chance I can still stop the factory reset process? I have TWRP installed but seem to be getting the factory reset splash screen when I hold volume down+power.
Has the damage been done, or not yet? Please tell me there's a way to bypass the reset. I do not have a removable battery.
Get to recovery mode and backup your phone and reboot. That's the last option I guess

How do I enter recovery without the factory reset from starting?

If you turned off, you already stopped it. It will not try to continue when you reboot the device. But, there is no way to know if anything was wiped or not, until you reboot the device and find out. If it wiped anything, it's gone, unless you can use any of the various data recovery programs on PC to recover the lost data, if it is possible to retrieve it.

I heard that the factory reset is "locked" into your phone as soon as it turns off, but it doesn't begin the process of wiping until after the first boot. I think I have partially confirmed this because when I try to boot, I get the android updating splash screen, which I guess means it is about to wipe. I force it off as soon as I see that screen, but before the phone has time to officially begin any process, so I am unable to boot into android or recovery.
Is there a way to mount my internal partition to my PC without turning the phone on, like through fastboot?

The reset was already started, you originally interrupted it before it could "finish" the "wipe" then, when you rebooted, it is starting the "reload" process(android is upgrading) where it loads the system and whatever personal data is still there, if any personal data remains from the interrupted wipe.
As I said, all you can do now is let it finish booting, then use data recovery software to hopefully retrieve your lost data, or take it as a learning lesson if the data is irretreivable.
