I rooted my nook, tried to change the screensaver and turn off images but it messed up with my ADW.Launcher settings. Unfortunately I didn't made a backup file from framework.jar.
Now I'm stuck with the B&N Home and I can't launch the ADW, nor the Button Savior nor nothing outside the stock B&N app.
I've tried to restore everything with n2T-Recovery (the both methods) but didn't work. At all!...
I'm needing some help here
I think if you used n2t you need to reroot since that triggers the 8 failed boots which causes a rewrite of the system date.
I rerooted, but that didn't seemed to help...

Did you expect triggering Factory Restore would help you fix your broken root?
Trigger Factory Reset by going to Settings -> Device Info -> Erase and Deregister
This will clear all your settings, including broken ones, then reroot your NST.

thank you very much! that solved the problem
or if you have a backup file you can format the nook and write the backup img, your nook will be new as fresh

hi guys, would really appreciate your help..
i was trying to fix my nexus 4's problem of unable to sync with google servers so i deleted the data/data/com.android.providers.settings and it indeed fixed the issue.
unfortunatley, after rebooting, i'm now:
- unable to get a lockscreen
- unable to get home button to work
- swipe down settings are gone. and so are notifications
is there another way to restore this other than a factory reset?

Factory reset wil not help, reflash a factory image or custom rom if you are rooted.

He only deleted the data so of course a factory reset will fix it this.
You will probably take ages trying to fix and end up having to wipe anyway. I take it you haven't got a backup of any sort (nandroid/ti backup) etc?

Yup, my bad. So many users wiping the entire sdcard nowadays that i took it wrong and didn`t read correctly
I thought I did but I searched my PC and couldn't find any previously backed up data. So I guess I've no choice but to factory reset and reinstall my data

Hi there! I had had the same problem l33chpda had, but the factory reset fix worked just one time only, today i was about to resell my phone so i wanted to factory reset it, after that i've come across with the problem i had that time, again.
Don't know what to do, i have same issues mentioned by l33chpda, cant get into settings, swipe down settings neither, etc; when try to, phone just do nothing or stays one second and goes back home screen.
I have made nandroid (both clockworkmod and TWRP) of the phone when I bought it, but with online nandroid so i don't have any custom recovery installed.
While checking those nandroid backups, I've discovered the deleted folder backup in the clockworkmod nandroid folder.
Could it be possible to paste it back into "\data\data" folder? should that be the fix? Or I'll have to reflash all even though I dont wanna take that risk because is just that, the other things of the phone are intact and work great.
In case of reflashing, could you tell me about any easy tutorial on how to install clockworkmod recovery?
I own an LG G2 D800, KitKat d80020y rooted with stumproot.
Hello!
1) Is it necessary to ensure that the NST has setting restored (from the Nooks setting menu) before rooting?
2) Does restoring settings from NST Nook menu deregister the device with B&N? I ask because I've read it's important to register the device before rooting or else face reduced battery life - If restoring deregisters the device then I'm concerned about restoring settings before rooting.
3) Once rooted, is it still 'safe' to restore settings from the Nook menu? I only wonder as I'll be giving the device to a less tech savvy person and I'm concerned that in the future they may attempt to use this menu and encounter difficulties.
4) The 'Restore to factory settings' option in NookManager - Does this reset settings but keep root? Or does it restore the Nook to a factory clean image? If the former, I'm wondering if it might be an idea to 'Restore to factory settings' after rooting to ensure everything is in a known good state.
Thanks.
Hey guys, new owner of the Verizon Note 3.
Love the phone and everything is fast and great.
I'm on 4.3 MJE and rooted. Safestrap installed with no slots, just the stock. Wanted to be able to make backups and have the recovery option.
Just this morning my Note 3 stopped letting open the settings from any angle. From notification panel or anywhere else.
It immediately closes and shows the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped"
I tried rebooting to safestrap and wiping cache and dalvik cache.
no fix.
I have some system apps frozen with Titanium backup, but have defrosted the ones I very recently froze to see if that helped. And still not able to get into settings.
Any advice? I'm sure you all appreciate how much of a pain in the butt it is to factory reset or flash and start over! I hate reconfiguring my apps and settings! So if that can be avoided in any way I'd be soooo happy!
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you need to reboot after unfreezing; you didn't mention if you did that.
The best way to avoid this kind of situation is to make Nandroid backups before you start tw3aking. Sure they are huge, but look at your situation now. You can always delete them after some time after it is clear they are not needed, but you can't create them out of thin air when it is too late.
So, before you make things even worse with further experimentation, make a Nandroid right now of your semi-broken setup. If you break things even further trying to fix this current problem, at least you can go back to where you are right now. You might want to make an TiBu market app/data backup as well and get the TiBu backups onto external media in case you need to go all the way back to Odin.
Dump your logcat after the "Settings" crash. There will be further clues there (possibly undecipherable, but hey.) Post that up to pastebin.com for others to look at if you don't grok it. (but scrub any personal data in there first). If you don't already have USB debugging turned on, you can use a terminal emulator or a Logcat capture app.
# logcat -c (to clear the log)
( force the settings crash)
# logcat -v threadtime > /sdcard/my_logcat_after_settings_crash.txt
There is a chance that it is something simple, e.g. one of the sqlite databases in /data/data/com.android.settings is corrupted, but the various Activities that are launched from underneath "Settings" touch stuff all over the /data partition (e.g. /data/misc and elsewhere). From where you are right now, there is no way to know whether your problem is due to:
(1) a problem in /system
(2) a problem in /data
(1+2) both
your turn.
Restored nandroid backup
Thanks for all the tips!
With some reluctance I managed to move to a much older backup i forgot I made and the settings works fine again!
those backups are a life saver.
Thanks again.
tw3ak.
Glad you got it fixed.
I had something similar happen last night - I accidentally fat-fingered a language change, and every time I went back in to fix it (Settings -> Language & Input), Settings would crash. (This is on MJ7)
Took a while to manually figure out how to fix it (Doh, /data/property/persist.sys.language) without restoring a backup. I didn't mention it here right away because your symptoms sounded different - Settings was crashing for me only when I went in to the Language & Input sub-menu)
Try using SS 3.65 and not the newest version and see if that fixes the problem.

i have the same problem. setting was crashing everytime i went to language & input. can u help me to ix it?
To preface,
I'm running an AT&T LG G2 rooted (with a couple of Xposed modules). I'm running 4.2.2
Today, I rebooted my phone after updating some apps from the play store, and then all hell broke loose. Here's a list of what went wrong
1) ALL of my settings were reset. Sound settings, call settings, screen on settings, etc. EVERYTHING.
2) My home button doesn't work. It lights up - it knows I pressed it, but it doesn't send me to the launcher. I have the home button programmed through Nova Launcher to open my voice search when I'm on the home screen - that doesn't work either.
3) My notifications panel stays empty - nothing shows up. On top of that, the little "gear" icon that should take me to settings doesn't work. There's a gear setting above that for sound that DOES work.
4) When I go to "About Phone", my phone name was reset to "G2".
4) Here's the kicker - When I go to "About Phone", the "Software Update" button has disappeared. What the hell happened?
If anybody can solve this issue, I have a small bitcoin prize for you...
Edit: Noticed something new. I went into Titanium Backup and it gave me a notification that my "Device ID" was changed. It states that this commonly occurs after a factory reset or ROM change? Here's the thing - I've never factory resetted my phone or even installed a recovery for that matter.
Notice #2: Volume keys don't respond. Although changing volume manually through the settings does work.
Quick note: I changed a value in settings.db using SQLite manager. I tried changing "tether_entitlement_check_state" to 0. And then I exported the DB and saved it. Would that have caused an issue?
well all hell really did break loose here, have you tried entering download mode and flash back to stock(I'm pretty sure this isn't you want to do) but it might be the only thing to do

Interesting. Thanks for the link. I wonder, other than hiding the "root" flags, how is this different from performing a factory reset? I would be opting to restore 4.2.2, not Kit Kat.

well tis is different to a factory reset as in it makes everything the way it used to be like if you were just powering on your phone for the first time while with a factory reset- if you have lets say deleted bloat and modified anything in the /system or other areas they are gone forever, the factory reset is more like a wipe your phone and start again(sometimes if you are rooted it remains rooted just without the su app)

I'm pretty sure it does but I have always had doubts about that(I usually always wipe with custom recovery so I don't remember when was the last time I used factory reset option, plus I upload a most of my backups into onedrive/goole drive/dropbox) also using the flash to stock method will wipe everything from the phone like I said its like powering it on for the first time just in case you were wondering

Okay, so here's my plan. I'm currently ADB pulling my entire SD card (with the titanium backup contents) onto my laptop. I plan to factory reset (the default android one that's in the settings). If that doesn't work, I will use the other flash-to-stock method.
Once I'm done, I plan to use Titanium backup to restore everything including settings. Here's my question:
When I'm restoring everything, will it be 1-click? In the past when I had other phones, the only time I restored TB was when I flashed different ROMs, so it caused havoc with my settings. Since I'm keeping the stock-ROM software, will I be able to 1-click "Restore" and have everything be how it used to be (Except for the Xposed Modules of course) ?
Also...I really don't like how MTP hides the Titanium Backup folder...

well I don't think you can one click restore with titanium backup(I don't see that as an option) you have to restore everything manually
as for mtp hiding the backups, I'm on the same boat as you

Referring to TB, you can set it to restore your backups with 1 click through "batch mode", but I believe you need to have the paid version.
Anyway, everything's fixed! I actually just put a recovery on it, and then deleted data and cache. That way my internal sd card didn't get wiped.
And I did a little more searching, it seems like modifying the sqlite database when you try to remove AT&T's tethering check causes the weird issue. I wonder if it's a secret backdoor program that makes your phone unusable...

I I have a Galaxy S4 with KitKat 4.4.2 and TWRP installed. I have been using Nandroid for backups.
Today I (stupidly) deleted the CSC.apk file with Uninstall and the phone started acting really strangely. I tried restoring the CSC app but it wouldn't do it (I tried multiple times). So I booted into TWRP recovery mode and did a full restore which worked fine...until I rebooted the phone.
I have quite a few apps that continually crash with:
Unfortunately, (App Name) has stopped
and then all I can do is tap the OK button. After tapping OK the errors popup continuously.
Is this normal? How can I fix this without reflashing the phone? This is my first restore ever done with Nandroid Any ideas? Annoyingly I also lost the activation for my GPS app (CoPilot). I thought Nandroid was an exact clone/backup so when you screw the phone up you can restore back to EXACTLY how the phone was when the backup was done?
Anyway, appreciate any help or thoughts on how I can get my apps to work without the constant stopping popups!
Thank you!
Can anyone help please?
Go back into recovery and wipe both the regular cache and dalvik cache.
As to the lost CoPilot activation, you'll need to contact CoPilot, then explain the situation to them, and they should be able to help you.

Thanks! I tried that but after wiping both caches and rebooting the phone and entering my SIM PIN, I am still constantly getting the "Unfortunately, (App Name) has stopped".
Is there anything else I can try? I'm a but confused by this as I thought Nandroid was an exect image of the phone! I'm not worried about CoPilot at all but the rest is important
Do a factory reset from within TWRP, then restore from the nandroid backup. How old is this nandroid?

So I tried doing a factory reset from TWRP and then doing a Nandroid restrore but after rebooting the phone I was still getting LOTS of errors with applications not working. Even the firewall wouldn't work as it couldn't find the config file.
I don't get it, I thought Nandroid made an EXACT image of your phone so if something went wrong and you performed a restore, your phone would be back to a working state?
