nothing to worry about.. if you switched radio, check that the time on the phone is correct, sometimes its being reset to year 1903 which messes up many apps. Also if you switched radio/spl did you run fastboot erase system -w afterwards?
This exception should not be related to the recoveryconsole
easiest is just to wipe everything and reflash, dont forget ext. if youve used it.
If recovery is for some reason unaccesable you can reflash via flash_image() when the phone has booted android.
Also do a logcat

Which rom were you using and which rom are you using now. Did you change your radio or spl before installing this rom.
Load up into recovery and run fix uid mismatches. Reboot and see if that helps.
Does your app launcher work? If so run terminal emulator. Type in su and then enter
Type in fix_permissions and then enter. Let the script run.
Type I'm exit then enter
Type in exit and then enter again. Terminal will close. Reboot phone. If you cannot get to terminal emulator then run it from adb ( if possible )
And the other poster was referring to when you change radios there are a few commands. He wanted to make sure you ran them all

[Q] boot loop after updaing rooted 4.3 to 4.4

Hi
I record updating to 4.3 without removing root (I just lost it and the recovery asked if I wanted to redo it), so I decided to try the samething with 4.4. Well, things got very bad.
After I got the notification that 4.4 was available, I clicked to download it, the phone then rebooted and I installed it via the recovery.
Then Android booted and got stuck after Google's logo (balls moving) for more than 5 minutes, so I decided something was wrong and shut it down.
So far I tried going to adb shell and mounting sdcard (so I could make a backup), but apparently fstab had /sdcard datamedia /dev/null (huh?)
Then I tried to adb sideload 4.3 and 4.4 (from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images ), and both failed for different reasons (4.3 just said "(bad)", 4.4 said something with "set_meta_recursive").
Then I did a "fastboot oem unlock" (please don't tell me this lose all the data - including sdcard) and retried that. Also didn't work.
(I cleaned cache before trying)
Then I found some tutorials telling to "fastboot flash bootloader/radio/...", but those versions (4.3 and 4.4) from the site above doesn't have files named "bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img" or so. I could find it for 4.2 (makoz10), so I tried with that and it apparently worked. Except also got on boot loop (different logo).
Then I downloaded an image that was on a link for 4.3 that had makoz20, so I tried with that and got the same result (it worked, but got on boot loop).
Now even recovery isn't working anymore.
I was careful to not run "fastboot -w" (or flash-all.sh) and/or to delete userdata.img from the .zip, so I have some hope I didn't lose all data.
Any hints on how to proceed from here?
thanks!

I am facing the same problem. The bootloader is stuck in a loop. Is there any way to recover the stock android??

true! It's interesting how google doesn't show results if you put it on quotes ("set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed")
gonna try that, thanks!

hm, well
I tried flashing using fastboot now (following method D on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 ), so I guess set_metadata_recursive or something like that doesn't matter
it flashed correctly, but it still doesn't work (now I get stuck in black screen after google's logo)

oops, sorry. not black screen (I forgot to flash system), not it's stuck on the 4 balls animation, as it was right after the update ;(

you did a factory reset prior to booting and after flashing?

no, I'm trying to avoid losing data
since nexus 4 sdcard isn't removable (and now I'm regretting have accepted that), is there anyway to save my data?
as I said, I tried mounting it, but for some reason /sdcard is pointing to /dev/null no fstab.
Now I already flashed the stock recovery, so maybe I need to flash something else to try that again, but is there anything I can do differently?
thanks

stock recovery wipe data and may I ask you what do you think you are going to lose? You are only going to lose apps and app data not photos or files which honestly you should have a free dropbox and save everything on there for the reason mentioned before... NO SDCARD

hm, maybe it's related with encryption I'd set from Security? I know the password, but it doesn't ask me for it anywhere

I think currently I'm more worried with not losing data than with getting my phone back working.
Sorry, but I find it ridiculous that it isn't easy to extract data from your phone easily. Even if it's encrypted, as long as I know the password there should be a tool to help with that.
Apparently there might be something like "recovery --set_encrypted_filesystem=off" (on adb shell), but I'm getting "sh: /sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh: not found", so no luck yet

wipe/data factory reset from custom recovery has nothing to do with sdcard based files. Its only going to delete any files in your data portion of your rom and not your sdcard. area... two completely different things, have you done your research on android and how everything works. Its good to search and read up on this stuff especially since its interesting and you apparently need a few answers to your questions

come on man this aint my first rodeo and do you think every time you did a factory reset it was going to delete your music? Do some research my man there are multiple wipes and an Internal SD Card wipe will delete everything but a factory reset with a custom recovery or factory will only reset your settings to factory

hold on let me take a look now that might be a different procedure I am referring to a wipe from recovery but in your case a full wipe may be necessary

hm, I didn't try any kind of wipe
so which one is safe (so I can try at least)? "wipe data / factory reset" from recovery?

How do I recover an encrypted phone stuck in a boot loop and which is 'oem locked'?

My OnePlus2 phone keeps rebooting and won't give me access to the Android OS after a recent update (OxygenOS 3.0.1 Community Build). The phone has never been tampered with (rooted etc..). I have access to fastboot but not adb (as the phone won't boot). I wish to get the phone working again or at the very least obtain the encrypted data. A data wipe where I loose all my files is not what I am looking for although this would likely fix my booting issues. I have wiped the cache but this did not solve the booting problem.
How do recover the data on my phone?
I have tried to boot and flash several images such as the previous version of OxygenOS (OxygenOS 2.2.1-2 hotfix), recovery.img, TWRP etc... but this keeps failing as fastboot tells me the phone is locked. I try to unlock it using fastboot but the command 'fastboot flashing unlock' is not recognised (despite claiming to be if you launch the software only by typing fastboot) and 'fastboot oem unlock' gives me FAILED (remote: oem unlock is disabled) .
The problem would be solved if I had access to Android and could enable oem unlocking in developer options, but I can't.

Can you get in recovery? Y guess you could flash signed full zip, any fastboot method won't work

Yes I can get into the stock recovery. That is how I wiped the cache and launched fastboot. At the moment I can't flash anything as fastboot tells me the device is locked. The only way I know of to recover the phone is a complete wipe... I hope there are new things I can try first though...

Same here. After yesterday's update, the phone is stuck rebooting. I also wiped the cache, to no avail. It starts booting (spinner), then shows a blank screen for a while (30 seconds), then prints "android starting" and reboots again.
Any idea? Do you know what gets deleted on "wipe data"? Will it delete all photos etc. or only the apps?

Wiping the data did not help. Due to firewall restrictions the OnePlus people were not able to remotely help me. I will speak with them in a few days when the firewall issue has been resolved.

I read this too (afterwards). I saw it on the thread introducing the newest cyanogenmod OS here on the forums. How stupid to launch an update incompatible with encryption!

If developer options were active before you updated your phone then you can use fastboot to recover your (encrypted) data. This is done by booting into twrp which allows you to recover the data. For instructions here. If developer options were not active prior to the update then fastboot is pretty useless (at least to me) and it seems to be very little you can do. I am still waiting an answer.

Boot into fastboot and flash custom recovery. Recover personal data if possible by mounting data to USB... then flash 3.0.1 again
PS: May be this is not even possible... I know nothing about encryption, before you all bash me out.. try this. I had done this, when I had this problem. I don't know about encrypted data and all

Your idea probably works but only if you have activated 'developer options' prior to the problem as I explained in my last reply. Since I did not, I can not use fastboot to flash my device.

Please help! : Error "Unfortunately EVERYTHING GApps) has stopped" error

I bought my nexus 6p from this seller and the seller said that errors would pop up, I got home and thought I would fix it, I unlocked bootloader, flashed a custom recovery (TWRP), and flashed a custom ROM (Pure Nexus) and Open GApps ARM64 6.0 Stock (I believed that GApps was the problem) I thought I fixed it. It was working great, I was re downloading all my apps from my old phone then the errors started coming back and got sad I flashed it again to stock (MDA89D) and now updating it to the latest version, hopefully it would be fixed. The phone was at 6.0.1 (MTC19T) when I received it.
Errors that would pop up are all of the google services apps such as gmail, google keyboard, camera, play store, etc.
Also the processandroid.process.acore has stopped
It would also reboot randomly.
Please help.

Go to my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Follow the instructions in section 10 to flash the latest (MTC19X) factory images. Make sure you flash all images except userdata, and make sure you format userdata too. See if that helps.

Phone stuck on 'Phone is starting...' screen

I am stuck on the 'Phone is starting...' screen. This is how I landed here
1. Added Finger Print Customizations when the phone was working and they did work as expected.
2. Noticed update from 9.0.10 to 9.0.10
3. Flashed stock 9.0.10 image over Bluespark and Magisk rooted image
4. Flashing stock 9.0.10 caused getting stuck in the 'Phone is starting...' screen
5. I can hear my phone ringing on this screen, but I cannot answer any calls since the phone is stuck forever on this screen
6. I tried flashing bluespark and magisk in the hopes of being able to boot, but that just cases my old boot screen to show up and then going back to restarting in a loop again
I believe OPSystemUI.apk (file that I replaced under /system/priv-app for getting custom finger print animation) is causing the issue. I do not know how to restore the stock version of this file without wiping all my data clean. I am not sure if this is the file causing the issue. Is there any way to get the phone started by flashing some files via adb?
Appreciate the inputs in advance.

I am getting this while trying to sideload apk
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb install launcher.apk
adb: connect error for write: closed

If you use bluespark TWRP then you're several weeks late, use officially working TWRP check in ROM section
Sideload the whole ROM to go back to normal, with temporary boot TWRP in fastboot mode

I have the 9.0.10 downloaded from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/official-oxygenos-9-0-4-ota-oneplus-6t-t3860953
I unzipped them found a .bin file. Is there any guide on extracting the binary files and flashing the entire rom via ADB?

Use fastboot ROM in that case. See relevant threads

No, I've never had to use that, and all is explained clearly in the threads giving fastboot ROM
Ultimate tool is msmdownload, there are dedicated threads also

Sorry for being so naive but I couldn't find any ROM that would have fastboot support. There is very less stuff for 6T to comb from.

Silly me, I was looking in the ROM section. I will use this and update the thread again

Hey! It worked. The phone is up and running now. Only thing is I lost all the data on the phone

Solution
Next time you face this issue in any ROM, you can do the following to come out of it. However, you would need to have a customised notification panel, which will allow you to go to settings and security option. Also, ensure you do not have a default launcher, if you have more than 1 launcher in your phone that you use.
Just long press any icon which leads to settings, or click on the settings icon from the notification bar.
It will open a blank settings page. Do a scroll up and down, and it will refresh.
Then go to security and privacy and delete the fingerprints.
You may also need to delete the security pin or swipe or the lock screen settings.
NOTE: Do not delete the locksettings.db from Recovery mode. It will break everything and the above steps might not help.
BTW, I am facing this issue for the last 3 days. Have been doing clean flash everytime. I was searching this issue on internet, but yours came up just now, and I read, FingerPrint, and it stuck me. Now it worked. Rebooting now. But posting the comment here in case I face any issues. Want to help you, as I know what the feeling is like. Frustrated and tired, wanting to kill someone.
Edit: Rebooted without any lock pin or FP. Shows phoe is starting, and starts in 2 seconds and allows access.
Will set a pin and check now.
Then will set one FP and check.
Edit2: Set pin lock and rebooted. Works okay..
