Hello guys,
I need some help with my Lenovo K4 Note Vibe (3GB RAM version). The thing is it started popping up random "Unfortunately xxxx stopped working" a couple of weeks ago. That specific app would just crash and restart itself. It can be a system app or game or any random thing (GUI, Contacts, Messaging, Angry Bird and other games etc.). It would usually gets solved on by restarting the phone or stopping the app from setting or on it's own.
Now the problem I have is, I gave it a restart and now it just shows "Unfortunately Notification Center Has Stopped". I have two option "Okay" and "Try To Resolve" none of them does anything except the error goes away for a second or two and pops back up. I can not even see the usual "Enter you PIN" screen. Yes I was using Fingerprint so I had to enter the PIN every time I restart the phone. So now basically I'm stuck at startup screen without any options. The phone is alive I can tell, I can feel it vibrate when I call, hear messaging tones (whatsapp/text). If connect it with PC when turned on, I can see a Lenovo Folder option to browse but its empty since it requires the phone to be unlocked first with pin.
The mobile belongs to my sister and she is dentist by profession and have lots of important data including some research she did (photos) for journal she publishes in national magazines.
How do I get past this error ? I do not have root, I tried the recovery but it is a Chinese recovery and does not have an option to wipe catch partition. The phone was on latest version (Marshmallow) and there is nothing I can do to start it up. Tried booting in safe mode but still the same error.
There is an option to see basic details in Chinese recovery, it shows
Model No. A7010a48
Build Time : 2016 12 27 14:35:36 CST
Kernel Ver. 3.18.19+
Android Ver.: 6.0
along with various other details.
How do I save my data ? Can I recover it anyhow ?
1. Try wipe data and factory reset
if not solve
2. Use SP Flash tools to flash stock rom.
If you have unlocked bootloader, then you can try to flash/hotboot into twrp recovery as it shows all files and folders in pc while connected in recovery mode.
Even if the bootloader is locked, there is no harm in trying.

Bootloader is locked. And there was no custom recovery flashed, every recovery flashing method I searched required for data to be wiped and bootloader unlocked so I`m stuck on that front.

Like I mentioned in post, the data is important, I could throw away the hardware I just need data.
I`m looking for a method to wipe catch partition without getting my data erased or to extract data any other way. Please do let me know if anyone have any solution at all, this is really really important.
Enable usb debugging
Use adb pull command to get the data.
Edit: nevermind, saw you can't unlock the phone.
Pretty sure if you flash twrp it will wipe data data partition as soon as you reboot. So I wouldn't do that.
Other option is do a full nandroid backup using adb but the only way you are gonna get that working is if you flash twrp and like I mentioned it's probably not a good idea but I'm not certain.
Another option is mtktools/spflashtool and do a full firmware backup from that, reset the phone and then restore from the backup, but I have no experience in that but it should work in theory.
Do you see the error even when there is incoming call? If not try from InCallUi i.e. when you answer the phone, try to navigate from that such as opening contacts, if there is a chance pull down notification bar and enter into settings. If any of these happen, it will ask to enter your pin and then you can unlock your phone. Now connect your phone to your pc and backup the data you need
If the data you seek are images, google photos should already backup your images to your google photos cloud account. Check this by signing in from your pc.
If they are media from whatsapp, don't worry, it will be backedup daily to your google drive account and all your messages along with your media will be restored after you install whatsapp again.
If they are Docs, then probably they are in gmail account (PROBABLY) you can always search for required ones in gmail.
Any other files from these cannot be restored if they are inaccessiblefrom your phone.
Suggestion: Maintain a cloud account which you feel safe and backup to that account so that you have no need to worry about the important files. **** like these happen every now and then.
Edit : These are gonna work if you checked the online backup or sync in respective app.

I turned on my tablet and found that it had had the wrong password entered 110 times -_- i have access to custom recovery and i have usb debugging enabled im pretty sure but its asking for me to log into my gmail account which is no problem but it doesnt recognize my username and pass. i know there correct because i log right into it on a web browser. i cant access anything though and i need the info on the a500 as i have research on it for a project does anyone know of a way i can get all the info off of it i would create a backup but no sdcard.... please i need the info really bad worst comes to worse ill factory reset :/ im running thor recovery and thor ics custom rom by the way.
EDIT: Ive tried flashing another rom without doing the wipes and flashing them with only erasing the cache but no cigar still asks me to enter my pass and gmail account.
EDIT:I just solved it using advanced backup and restore i restored everything but data and was able to get all my pictures and videos back and then i just installed titanium backup and was able to restore all my apps
I had the update notification for 4.3 today and went to install it. Everything appeared fine. However, when the phone rebooted and showed my usual screen unlock, I swiped it in and then the phone crashes back to the X - so android is loading and I can see my wallpaper and the time and everything as usual, but screen unlock reboots the phone. The only other problem that I've noticed is that the forward camera doesn't work to use face recognition to get the screen to unlock - the screen is always showing as black when normally my face is there.
Any tips for a fix? I'd rather not wipe all my data as I'm on a slowish bandwidth connection for the next couple of weeks.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

Yes - why? Can I download the data somehow using adb? What difference does this make?
Got the same problem on my Nexus 4, updated via normal Ota, unlocked bootloader and rooted.
Any solutions apart from a complete factory reset?

Well, you could make a nandroid backup. That way, you will have your data saved. After that, install a stock rooted 4.3 ROM and only restore data from recovery.
Or, Adb could work too. It would backup your data to your PC, and you could restore after you reinstalled the ROM.
I don't really know why, but many updates to 4.3 failed. That's why a data wipe is always recommended.
I always use Titanium Backup. It's very simple and easy to use.
I've used Nandroid before - not sure why I didn't think of it - thanks.

I had this exact same problam and was able to fix it without losing data, settings or installed apps.
My Solution:
Download factory 4.3 image and extract system.img. You need to untar the gzipped file and then unzip the included zip file to get system.img
Flash only the system.img and reboot. (fastboot flash system system.img)
When the phone is rebooted, root will be gone, but all installed user apps, data and settings should be preserved.
Background:
After the 4.3 OTA, my phone would reach the lock screen and receive notifications. Sometimes a call would make it through and I would be able to answer, but most of the time calls went straight to voicemail. Callmaster might have contributed to this behavior.
However, if I attempted to enter a pattern on the lock screen, the phone would immediately reboot.
I was rooted using SuperSU prior to the OTA. My Nexus was also affected by the issue were attempting to access the 4.2.2 Security Settings resulted in an error. I never got around to fixing that issue, but suspected that the 4.3 and 4.2.2 problem were related.
solution that worked for me: keep failing pattern until prompted to type in google account details to login, it then worked for me after that, no longer rebooting when unlocking
i checked manually for upates, 15 minutes ago. It showed me that an system update is avaible.
Update installed, rebooted and here starts the wierd things.
-Phone boots up but the only thing im able to access is the ''edge'' bar where is the edge people and other fun features.
-Pressing volume button down will bring the boot menu with : reboot, shutdown etc..
-Tried to boot in safe mode. no luck, only the safe mode bar appears in the left.
-Wiping cache, no luck.
-Not rooted. Stock.
Only thing that i installed outside the play store is the samsung lab application wich is shared here in the forums because its not avaible for s6 edge+ for some reason in the samsung's app store.
I managed to boot in recovery mode and this text took my attention : mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 (frimware codename?) 6.0.1 android version
Made factory reset, works now but lots of important data (pictures, music etc..) lost in that.
I made an google search with mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 and found nothing.
(edit: In the download folder, there seems to be a file with the rom build number/number)
Yeah I had the same problem, posted about it in the general forum. I flashed another stock ROM ontop of it from Sammobile and it saved me from doing the factory reset.

they are still sharing it.
Someone who's phone updated correctly needs to make these guys a firmware they can flash back with Odin otherwise they won't be able to find anything that works. (no downgrades allowed)
Make sure you backup what you can. Export contacts, everything on Phone when you connect your computer can be copied in/out, if you didn't know. App data will have to be individually backed up.
SOLVED
Hi. Long story short, my gf's lg l fino decided to stop systemUI and now we can't do anything on the phone. She asked me to at least backup one app bc she doesn't want to loose its data, so factory reset is not an option.
She didn't install/modify/uninstall any app before it happened (no memory, lol).
Phone is full stock, without root or TWRP - clean.
Is it possible to do such thing? I think I can get into recovery mode (first time I failed, but it was bc i didn't know which button had to be pushed) and then wipe cache or install TWRP but still:
Is there any way to backup one app with its data and restore it on another phone without doing it with systemUI? Or there is a way to repair systemUI?
Also if its possible i should backup all contacts from her phone. Without UI i cant do it ;/
Thanks for any help.
Edit:
Phone is dead right now, if there will be a need, I will do factory reset.
By far I restarted phone in emergency mode, turned off Google app and after reboot I was able to copy the apk and contacts.
Looks like Google apk is causing this problem.
Sry if it's too late, but you could flash the kdz for your device via lg flash tool.
No data will be erased if you select 'normal flash'.
Yup, too late. I took what i needed from the phone and now its dead.
But what is kdz?
So I rooted my phone following information on this site/a video guide from youtube (I dunno if I'm able to post links but I can PM if you need to see what it had me do etc) so I did a fresh root with TWRP, RMM bypass, no-verify encryption, magisk. All worked great the phone was rooted etc, I then stupidly removed google play services to try get an early date APK which caused issues so I thought a wipe with TWRP would fix the issue but the startup wizard wouldn't work, so I then removed startup wizard via TWRP got back into the phone and put the new version of play services on, yet still had issues so I got the default firmware for my model at samsmobile and put it on via odin - all worked great phone booted fine etc but some apps said a boot was detected, so I made sure to go into developer options and make sure the OEM was locked, did a wipe via the default options when holding power>bixy>up however some apps still say the phone is rooted.. I checked with a rootchecker and I pass the safety and it says no boot detected. So I dunno what the problem is? The only thing I did see was when I did the wipe this came up
"remove failed dir '/system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttIqi_ATT' (no such file or diectory)
e:[libfs_mgr] is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid: '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible: no such file or directory"
Really dunno what to do from here.
