[Q] Everything crashes can anyone help? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I rebooted my phone while there was no keyboard selected and following reboot everything crashes!
Apex launcher crashes, settings crashes (so I can't go in and re-enable a keyboard)!
I am really stuck, and I really don't want to do a factory reset.
Thanks

[Q] Verizon Tab won't perform factory reset

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 and I woke up today and it was missing some programs that I had installed the night before. Launcher pro keeps crashing so I had to put the Samsung Launcher back on. Now random programs all keep crashing and locking up the device. I performed a factory reset through settings -> privacy -> perform factory reset.
It restarts and goes to the samsung bootloader and I performed wipedata/factory reset.. It says it does it but when it restarts its in the same condition as before.
I've booted directly to the bootloader and tried it too (volume up and power key). I've also tried to wipe cache with no luck..
Any ideas? Can I root it and put a custom rom on it? I saw that there really aren't any roms for the Verizon tabs.. Any reason why?
Thanks for any help..
I just did a restore with all the stock verizon firmware using heimdall and it flashed and everything went through properly..
I booted into recovery and wiped data/cache and restarted...
SAME THING! It will NOT wipe out my existing data.. It restarts with all of my old programs installed and NOTHING will work.. The OS is hosed. How can I wipe this thing back to factory??

Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue and don't have ODIN setup for it.
Same Issue
Same Issue
I changed my passwords on Facebook, Twitter and Gmail. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped bringing up my information.
Need help!
Same to me...
I've tried to uninstall some apps several time, GTab automatically rebooted and these apps are still there...
Could anyone solve this issue?

I'm in the same boat..half my apps crash when you try to open them. I've wiped the data partition 3 times, and the cache as well..not avail. Apps are still on the device after a master reset!

I had that problem, and I wound up sending it back to Samsung. It appeared to be a bad part on the board, so they replaced it and it's on its way back now. Not the answer you want, I'm sure, but call it in and get your RMA number.

On your new Tab can you perform a hard reset and have it actually work?
my sprint Tab seems to be in the same boat

How can i reset my device

Hi,
I rooted my device because mine was not accepting many market apps. But after i rooted it and tried using market enabler, the market app has started crashing with com.process.vendee and now even when i wanted to unroot the gingerbreak apps is also crashing although it gives super user permissions.
Any idea what to do? I am still stuck at HC 3.0.1. Will a factory reset take it back to factory settings i.e the way it was when i purchased it. Is it like pressing reset button or something else.
pl advise?
Settings -->>PRIVACY -->> .... etc

I am having the same issue, after I did a factory reset. My device will boot into the AT&T setup screen but the settings menu crashes and I cant get out of it.

I am having a very similar issue as well. I have the Sprint version - SPH-L720 - and I rooted it using Motochopper. Everything was fine and great and wonderful, but after I downloaded and installed a font installer from the play store, it seems to be softbricked. I can get into Download mode and Recovery mode just fine. I have wiped the phone twice now -- but every time I just try to wipe the cache, it says there is an error and reboots.
I applied the Chainfire Auto-Root too (successfully) and it still stays stuck on the Sprint screen.
I'm guessing I won't be able to fix this issue until the firmware is leaked... but I am crossing my fingers and hoping that someone has a solution sooner.
Since the last update still can't do a wipe cache

[Help] Factory reset

i made factory reset by going to Settings > Backup and Reset > Favtory reset. Once it was done, the keyboard didn't show up when register. i skipped all stuff and wrote my name by saying random names via mic. i installed google keyboard I had. Any idea on how to fix this ? I want to re-do factory reset again.
Hi,
Do you have a custom recovery installed ?
Yea of you don't have a custom recovery installed, best just to try factor reset again, I had the same problem once.
nope, i dont have it. Anyway, i did flash the stock rom again. My friend said that it might be the mod i installed for keyboard from Xuimod from Xposed. Maybe. Anyway it is fixed now ^^

Yes, you are right. Factory reset does not help to fix a system modding.
Only re-flashing the stock firmware may help.

[Q] Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

I'm a root user, Titanium Backup installed and that's the second time i flash Android 5.0 and after a while i got this error. Tried factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache/dalvik and didn't worked out.
Tried entering in Safe Mode and the error is persistent.
Is there something i can do?
I'm using GalaxyS4 Settings for Froyo~JB (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ion.setting) and with it i'm able to got into some of my settings, but the stock app doesn't work by itself.
Is there some way of flashing the stock Settings app again?
Another weird thing is that my SPen does not take screenshots anymore and that only happens with Android L (5.0).
