Reboot when trying to change user

Hi there,
I have an annoying problem with my N7.
Everytime I try to change user, the device reboots... Even when I delete the old user, and try to create another one : same issue.
I'm with CM10.1 Experimental (stable one) and already had the same issue with the stock rooted 4.2.2 one.
Any idea?

[Q] Icons and Folders dissapearing after reboot of flashing

Hi,
I have a N7100 running the latest nighty of OmniROM 4.4.2 with stock kernel. It's a great rom and would like to thank you for all your hard work. Just one thing.. Whenever I reboot my phone or flash something, something from my homescreen disappears. Either a entire homescreen or a folder or an icon or two disappear after restarting. I tried searching for a thread related to this but couldn't find any.
Any suggestions/solutions as to what the problem might be?
Oh, also I'm using the stock Kit Kat Launcher. Also have Action Launcher Pro installed as well.

[Q] Advice Please - Mobile Odin - Could not detect device model - USB not recognizing

Hi all, hoping to get some advice in regards to a brick wall I've hit.
So background, my Galaxy S4 (i9505 running 4.2.2) has had ongoing USB recognition issues and thus I haven't been able to upgrade to a custom rom for a while. After following a couple of very detailed and useful guides on here, without success I had decided that it was likely one of two things:
A hardware problem (I have a third party charging port installed after the OEM stopped working)
Or when I was playing around with settings I derped and uninstalled the MTP application or some related core service.
So I left it for a while but today I decided to do something about it and discovered Mobile Odin (4.20), bought it and clean flashed SlimKat 4.4.4 (http%www%slimroms%net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1182-jflte). Took a while but the rom booted, really liked the look and I tried to install 3rd party apps and set up phone as usual but noticed that Google Play Store was missing. Manually installed V4.9 but it kept opening and closing so I uninstalled and the flashed the normal gapps and the AIO gapps through Mobile Odin (with and without clear cache), both processed OK but upon reboot none of apps ever installed.
So I decided to re-flash the SlimKat, I had to re download as I performed a factory restore in amongst things and had the original rom stored on internal. When I flashed inject root was checked as were all the other default options but upon reboot Mobile Odin is giving me "Could not detect device model" which after looking around basically means I lost root .
So my questions are: Without connecting via USB (because it's still not working) what are my options for flashing another rom or regaining root? Is there a way to get to stock 4.4.4 without USB?
Really appreciate any advice, currently the phone has network service and WiFi so in the mean time, without Google Play store it is just a significant inconvenience, but still operational.
Regards,
Marc
#Update
I don't know how but my root has been restored while I was playing around clearing app cache's etc. So now I have SlimKat 4.4.4 but unfortunately still no Google services/Store etc. When I manually install it, it has this issue where it automatically opens and then closes, so still working on fixing that. Again appreciate any input.
Hello, I've been flashing ROMs for a while now and I can't think of a way to regain root from within the ROM itself. How did you get root on your device in the first place to install mobile odin?
I have never used a play store application for any type of flashing, was never sure if it would be reliable or not. That being said, have you installed a custom recovery into your phone whilst you were playing around with it? If you did then you can fix this without fixing your USB connection.
However if you still have stock recovery, you probably need a USB connection to regain root. If that is the case, what have you actually tried to fix the USB problem?

Hey @lichking21st. Mobile Odin is allegedly just odin without the need for USB. I have tried to fix the USB to no avail
Actually just about to update my original post, I don't know how but my root has been restored while I was playing around clearing app cache's etc. So now I have SlimKat but unfortunately still no Google services/Store etc. When I manually install it, it has this issue where it automatically opens and then closes, so still working on fixing that. Again appreciate any input.
Problems solved!
Clean flashed stock rom then clean flashed back to SlimKat. Google play and root carried over.
USB still not working have to put it down to a hardware issue now. Oh well, so happy
@MOD you can close this. Thanks again for the help LichKing

Glad to see your problem is fixed, I would still advise you to get a custom recovery so you have some options if you really get stuck without root for next time. I recommend using TWRP but CWM works too.

[Q] Little help needed from a Defy+ & CM7.2 user

Hello,
The accelerometer is defective on my Defy+, as a result it stops working sporadically. With the stock firmware it could be reactivated by restarting the phone, but now I have CM7.2 on it, and CM deals with the problem differently: at the first occasion the device file disappeared ( /dev/kxtf9 ) from the system, probably got deleted automatically by the OS. Now I'd like to recreate it manually hoping that it could be a workaround, but unfortunately I don't know the device major and minor numbers. Could someone please tell them to me ? Thanks.

Terrible mistake

Hi folks!
I did a terrible mistake on my rooted SM-G901F yesterday, maybe I was drunk or something!..
I noticed that the settings process was draining a lot of battery, so I decided to do a backup with TiBackup, and then uninstall the settings.apk to see if it makes any changes. There was the mistake...
The changes are that the phone boots properly and seems to work well, but it's not the case anymore with the touchscreen wich doesn't work at all, so I'm totally unable to use it.
The only thing I managed to do for now is to retrieve the settings.apk backup but I need to force the installation by USB I presume.
Any clues? It may be quite simple but it's out of my knowledge, your help would be greatly appreciated.
After some research it seems possible to install an APK in a .tar container with ODIN, but I'm unsure about that.
Or the other solution is to re flash the 5.0.2 official ROM, am'I gonna loose all data if I do it?
