Hey everyone,
I had a quick question, still new to this kind of thing. I am rooted , stock rom 4.2.2 sw. Last night, after my battery died, I plugged the phone in to charge it. Upon a full charge, I powered on the phone, using it as normal. I held down the home key, to visit my recently used apps, and realized that where my usual stock task manager is, to the right of clear all, was missing. I'm unsure why, no real changes since last night before it died.
Two questions; has anyone had a similar issue like this before, if so, is there a fix for it, or a way to re enable it?
Also, is there a list of the stock apps on this phone, as in what's already installed straight out of the box? I uninstalled a few system apps before doing a backup in twrp, and want to reinstall them, and then do the backup.
Thanks for any and all help, and if this isn't in the correct area, I apologize in advance.

Last night the nexus is charging for the whole night as usual.
But this morning the power button gets something wrong. There is no response after i press the button.
And about half an hour passed, the screen would be on and off incessantly with the power off menu.
So i have no ideas about this, did anyone meet this problem before. Help!
Thanks.
We need more information! Rooted? Custom ROM? Have you added an app recently before experiencing this problem? Have you tried to reboot the phone?
We need more information! Rooted? Custom ROM? Have you added an app recently before experiencing this problem? Have you tried to reboot the phone?
Rooted? Yes
Custom ROM? No, using the official rom.
Have you added an app recently before experiencing this problem?
Seems no, but the only one unusual is i used the headset to listen internet radio.
Have you tried to reboot the phone?
Yes, after i choose power off from the popup menu, it will reboot automatically.
and i have tried to remove my battery then put it in again, the phone still boot automatically.
And now I have already reset my phone to factory setting. The problem is still there.
I am totally lost!
I am having this same issue, it started when I flashed the Desire Rom but has since continued back to cyanogen's when I flashed back to that.
It only seems to happen when I run apps that are not google apps, that interact with the microSD card, such as twidroid or titanium backup.
Hey guys. I rooted my M a couple days ago (5th or 6th device ive rooted) and am having some trouble this morning.
Everything seemed to be fine, I got rid of some crapware, grabbed droidwall, font installer, etc. The only major(?) change i made was putting safestrap on the phone. Afterwords, I rebooted and seen that there was no "splash screen" show up like the directions said there would be, so i figured it didnt work. This was a couple days ago. I didnt have any problems with the phone starting up at all until I changed the font a couple times. The first time, I changed it, rebooted normally, and everything changed over and appeared normal. After a few minutes of looking through the options again, I found one I liked better and installed that one. Reboot - stuck on the boot screen. Bummer. Tried to get it to start back up and it always does the same thing.
So I did some reading and am currently charging up my phone and downloading the razr_M_utility to restore and start over. Not sure what I did or why this happened. I dont recall making any other changes that could have caused it. I did use uninstall master to uninstall some of the bloatware, and thought that maybe I got rid of something that i wasnt supposed to. However, I have rebooted a few times since then and its been fine until now. Plus I'm pretty sure that I didnt uninstall anything to cause a problem.
Any additional thoughts on this would be appreciated. Like everyone else, im learning as i go! thanks

Utility is gonna take care of it for you...I'm certain. I cant think of anything that caused it though. That's kinda weird. But if I were you I would just stick with the stock ROM with that issue and just troubleshoot it and if it happens again...hit it with the utility again
Also if you don't mind losing camcorder the 4.2.2 ROMs are great and don't require safe strap as Kong as you unlock boot loader through the utility. But will void your warranty.
Good luck! And follow those instructions on Matt's utility perfectly!

Hi, first time posting in here
I misused my phone and installed an infected app from the Play Store. After that, I was able to delete most of the ghost push malware installed on the phone using the app Stubborn Trojan Killer. For months I have used it with 2 irremovable adware apps but my phone gets slower, more glitchy and the battery drains faster day by day. Since yesterday, the process System UI crashes every 5 minutes or every time I hold down the home bottom. All of that is driving me insane.
Also, this phone was from my best friend who rooted it so my question is: will flashing the firmware and installing another version of android repair the damage?
Please, if someone knows how to solve this, tell me what to do. I will the eternally grateful.
If a custom recovery is not installed, flash a stock ROM using Odin, and that will resolve your issue. Otherwise enter the recovery, wipe data and system, and flash a custom ROM.
Hello people of the world,
after reading a lot of posts here I still can't fix my phone's issues, so I need to post. Bear with me...
I have an N910F which was entirely stock and functioning without problems. Two days ago I accepted the official update. After that, the phone regularly lost connection to the mobile net, froze, and restarted. It would work for a short while until it froze and restarted again and again. When I tried to use the camera, the live picture was completely distorted. The phone crashed and has then gone into a bootloop.
I pulled the battery, did a recovery start and wiped the cache. No difference. Factory recovery next, no difference.
I have since tried several stock and custom firmwares, always taking care to follow instructions and use the correct bootloaders, modems, etc. TWRP is working.
When I flash a stock firmware, it will go into a bootloop. With any custom ROM, it will crash during startup (logo) and switch off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Protect the eMMC?
So, after more reading I began to suspect that the eMMC had moved on to the valhalla of electronics. Sent my phone to service where my suspicion was confirmed. Luckily, they were able to replace the chip without having to put in a new board.
Is there any way to prevent this kind of failure again, or at least make it less likely?
Yes this is a known issue after latest update you could you install only one application called wakelock so that your phone doesn't reboot and CPU keeps awake

Thanks! I had read about that.
Got my phone back from service today, they had flashed stock 5.0.1. After checking that it worked I flashed RR 5.8.4 and installed Wake Lock Powermanager. I searched for a comprehensive tutorial on what the settings do and which to use. Right now I set it to PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK (4) but I'd like to read more about it. Any tips on that?

installing power wakelock and setting up on partial wake lock is enough.if you get trouble in starting your phone remove its battery and put your phone in refrigerator for five min.and try to start your phone.this problem also related and happens after the latest update
Good day everyone, i am going to report my delicate and infuriating problem that has been haunting my head for two months
I'll describe my problem in extreme detail, hoping you guys able to identify this disaster.
My android phone is Lenovo A6000 Plus, i've bought it 2 years ago and it's running on latest Lollipop version 5.1.1 I never alter the system files, since i only use my phone for games and communications, and i'm not really into tinkering android's software. so i use my phone like a normal person, do the updates when the settings asked me, update the apps, etc. and this phone running smoothly in my service. i wanted to ask both WISDOM and HELP in this thread.
1. The Bootloop disaster symptoms started on april 2018, when the phone boot SLOWLY AS HELL, seriously.. it took about 1-2 hours to boot, and it also shows the (ANDROID IS UPGRADING 0/132 apps) like wtf? , i haven't update or install any new android apps before this symptom happened. So i leave my phone plugged in and wait it to complete the upgrade; then it worked normally as it should. Unfortunately, it happened EVERYTIME i turn my phone on, EVERY SINGLE TIME.. T_T. so i struggled to avoid my phone from running out from battery as i can. This symptom happened for 3 weeks and it got from bad to worse. I wonder what kind of problem is this?
2. The worse part came when my phone is running at high RAM usage, let's say, i game on my phone alot in my spare time, using the ram up to 1800mb everytime i play game or open chrome browser (Lenovo A6000 plus have 2GB ram). When i close/task manager the apps, my phone launcher wont appear normally as it should (long pressing bottom left button) and it FORCED me to restart the phone and suffer the 1-2 hour LONG BOOT. That's unusual, i cleaned my phone regularly (using cleanmaster) and preserve both of my internal and external storage with 3-4GB free space. I wonder what kind of curse is this?
3. So the bootloop disaster finally got me this May when i turn my phone off and tried to reboot. And... no Android is upgrading 0/132 showed up, i waited for 4 hours and reboot my phone again and again and again. And its finally STRANDED on BOOTLOOP :crying:
Im on panic mode when problem 3 happened, then i searched the almighty Google for help, and found that i can backup my data with TWRP recovery, so i do as it said, followed the guides and BACKED UP all of my data.
For once i felt relieved my data is now saved. Now onto the main problem.
I've had enough of this problem so i format the phone into factory reset, wipe the Dalvik ****s, cache, system and data. All of it. thus, making my phone virgin again.
4. Now im trying to resurrect my phone, and tried my effort by downloading Stock Lollipop 5.1.1 OS again along with its prerequisites. I tried to zip-install it using TWRP but it said that "has not switched carriers and cannot be upgraded" i scratched my head and searched almighty Google again then found that i need to do ####6430### thingy before doing that. umm.. so my phone domain need to be changed, how can i do that with a phone who can't boot? (I'm from Singapore btw). What did i do wrong?? did my phone just turned into useless BRICK? but i've read that bricked phone can't even start the recovery, yet my phone still able to start either with Lollipop stock recovery or TWRP (if i adb fastboot it with adb tools from .cmd), so it's not totally fuc.. uh., BRICKED and i got the chance to fix it.
TL;DR
So, Guys.. i desperately need help. i'm a peon both in work and college, and a dead phone will not make a great company for a person like me.
I searched for enlightments and breakthroughs but always ended up failed resurrecting my phone, can you guys PLEASE :crying: tell/give me a SAFE and WORKING walkthrough to re-install my Lenovo A6000 Plus with Lollipop 5.1.1? And does it running a custom OS like those Cynadrogen thingy is good and worthy enough to speed up my phone? is the chances of getting bricked is unavoidable when running custom OS? I thought its going to be easy like reinstalling Windows, but i was wrong.
FYI, my phone now is UNROOTED and running on TWRP 3.0.2 and i can easily revert it back to Lollipop stock recovery if needed (does it considered rooting if i install custom recovery?) I also need a valid info if my phone would never turn like this again if i resurrect it again.
PLEASE HELP ME PEOPLE
THANK YOU.. ! :highfive:

When 5.1.1 update arrived?
Okay lets get to the point. Just don't panic. You have the stock rom file, extract a file named 'system.zip'. Now go to TWRP, perform advance wipe (wipe dalvik, data, system and cache partitions) and flash that file from TWRP. You'll be on stock rom with a fresh new experience.

Custom ROMs are amazing and far better than the stock lenovo rom. Believe me, no one here is using that crap stock rom. You just need some instructions to flash and your phone will get a new life. We are here to assist you.
