system UI has stopped. gravity box - Moto X Q&A

ok i jacked something up.... i have been using PIE controlls for weeks and randomly my nav bar came back so i went to gravity box and turned off the nav bar and rebooted like it prompted me to do. now i get a constant string of "unfortunately, system UI has stopped" and in between the FC i can get into gravity box, but i get a pop up that says "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting"
as a side note, i was not thinking when i made the change and was not booted into recovery mode like is recommended for root changes
am i screwed or can i fix this without a factory reset?

hmmm i cant seem to do a factory reset either from the setting area. i say erase all and the phone reboots but then im back with nothing changed and force close loop.
i assume i need to do something from the computer... anyone know what i need to do?

Normally when you install xposed framework it leaves a cwm framework disable flashable zip file but I have no idea if it would work with pwnmymoto

It works, I flashed it in Safe Straps to go back a few times, so that should help him,,,look for it in your sd card.

I don't have safe strap ...

If your rooted go to hash codes thread and get the apk and run it like you would any app. Just know that it will hijack your stock recovery and unless someone unlocks the bootloader you cant go back. But once you have Safe Straps recovery you should be able to go into it and flash the xposed disable-recovery.zip

Same problem, slightly different situation
So I'm following the steps that solved OP's problem but having trouble installing safestrap. When I open the app it doesn't give me the option to install recovery. It is just grayed out and won't let me choose this option. Any suggestions?
Edit: Nevermind, Im dumb, figured it out. Thanks regardless

Update failing

I just tried to search for this and didn't find anything useful...
I've been trying to get up to date tonight while maintaining root. I'm on .886 with 43V3R root and the update for .893 downloads successfully, but it has failed to install twice now. Is there any reason that it would be failing? I'm sure I've missed something obvious, but I'm kind of stumped.
Any help is appreciated.
Where does it fail at?

Have you deleted or frozen anything?

Remember to hit the "Thanks" button when someone helps you!
When I tell it to install, it reboots to the open box/android progress bar and gets about 25% through that before the triangle with an exclamation point appears. Then it just boots like normal and a message pops up telling me that the software update failed.
I don't remember deleting anything and nothing is frozen. The only "mods" I've done are CWM and a boot animation, but I didn't think those would have caused any problems.
And just to double check, this is what I should be using if I want to maintain root, correct?

Is this the update that pushed to your phone or did you download from one of the forums? If downloaded from a forum, maybe you got a bad download. Redownload and try again. I'd go ahead and put it back 100% stock but keep root...

The boot animation mod is the culprit. Revert to stock boot animation and I'll bet you'll be fine.
same here. it's droid update that they do. i guess i'll have to set it back to stock.
Thanks for the ideas so far... I switched back to the stock boot animation and still had the same problem. It's the normal downloaded update. I'll probably wait a little bit to hear more suggestions before I restore to a clean start... it's always a little annoying to go with a completely fresh start.

Hmmm... you're positive you didn't mod anything else? Maybe try using fastboot to push stock system image (you'll have to reroot). You can do this without affecting data if you know what you're doing. My guess is you made some other change that you don't remember/realize.
What part does it fail at?
Ex: verrifying system, verrifying webtop, build.prop, etc
Right before it fails it usually slaps an error out at you.
If it was literally installing and then stopped mid way then you have bigger problems.
The fix for that would be to back up everything with TB or My backup pro, then flash a fxr.
I hope that helps.

Be careful with Font Installer/ROM Toolbox

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you a quick heads up; be careful when using "Font Installer" or ROM Toolbox (the Font Installer within it is the same tool by the same person).
I installed some fonts that were different from the Samsung ones, and used it for a while. The font didn't apply to all text, which kind of annoyed me but I lived with it. Today I tried to switch back to a Samsung default, but it didn't override the one I had selected. So I simply deleted those fonts I installed in Root Explorer (ONLY the 3 I installed) and rebooted thinking it would revert back to a default font.
I am now stuck on the boot animation. Oh well, I'll reflash but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. (The only things I should lose are a few pictures)

Before I force myself to be stuck on MF1, I am trying to repair what I did. Does anyone know if I can use ADB to push the files back to system/fonts?
I'm have the phone in stock recovery, and I have ADB up, but I get "device unauthorized" unless I select "send update from ADB" to which it wants me to sideload. I can sideload stuff, but that doesn't seem work for me wanting to push a few TTF files. Any ideas?
This doesn't help you now. But next time use ifont. I did the same as you did my friend.

And here I was just trying to prevent problems. Ugh, non-recovery recovery. All I want is a simple "let me copy to the /system/fonts." Is that too much to ask?

I wish I had seen this thread before I tried to use Font Installer to install a new font. I now have "Unfortunately Samsung keyboard has stopped" popping up every 5 seconds, and I can't access the keyboard to type anything else at all. I can only reboot using Recovery mode. I cleared the cache and did a full factory reset...still getting this error. The phone is rooted. I rooted following a very basic step by step procedure, so I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area, and would appreciate any help in getting access to the keyboard.

Finger touch area to small?

So I tried to update TWRP and it said unsuccessful because I probably had the latest version. (Using TWRP manager) Then a box popped up asking if I wanted to boot into recovery, I hit ok because I had to install something.
When it loaded it was stretched out and I ha had to touch above the buttons to use them. Figuring it was just TWRP being silly I rebooted and now the whole phone is doing it. It's like the area it registers touch was shrunk. The pen works fine, and that's how I'm typing this now.
Any ideas on what happened/how to fix it? I've tried rebooting a few times, and changing the dpi.

If you can, try taking a backup using TWRP and then ODIN to stock to see if that changes anything.
Does anyone have the stock firmware for the T3? I can't find them

Odin the base and it'll be removed
I don't have the files to Odin.
I just got my replacement, can anyone tell me how to pull the files I need from it to flash to the old phone?

Think I bricked my phone... "your device is corrupted...", then shuts off

Okay, I was trying to root my phone and I guess after the first step of "fastboot oem unlock", I did the reset, and after it booting up to the activating sim card screen, I turned the phone off and booted back into the bootloader.
Then I downloaded the Auto-Root file. And when I ran it, it gave me some errors.
So now the phone doesn't boot at all. I get the error message, then the phone either powers down or just goes black and it never finishes loading.
Every thread I have searched talked about "restoring a factory image" or what not. But the problem is, now I don't have USB Debugging Enabled and can't enable it anymore since I can't get into the phone menu.
Recovery Mode leads to an error.. I can get into the bootloader, but can't do much from it since USB debugging is disabled.
any ideas? or am I just screwed.
I think I figured it out, after finding this thread.

its not an error, its a message that google put into marshmallow to show up when you are modifying your phone. there are VERY MANY of these threads here on xda.
Yep, there is lots of resources on this issue. I'm guessing you used an old auto-root file. The fix would probably be to manually flash a system image.

I deleted my SuperSU and some other backup files on accident. I re-downloaded the app on the playstore and now the SuperSU app says that root is not detected. I am trying to fix it and I can't figure it out. Someone please help me, I need to either unroot my phone or somehow get superSU back. Again I am new to this I tried to flash a zip in recovery and cannot seem to figure it out. Anyone know how to fix my phone???

Flash the unSU zip from here to unroot, then make the same that you did to root it again.

Well I wanted to use some of my apps such as PokemonGO, and with the root it wouldnt let me. I read on this site that deleting 3rd party apps and then signing into the apps would work. They made it seem like all I had to do was redownload SuperSu. However all the rooted apps are gone and a lot of other files are gone, and I still cannot use the PokemonGo app. I cant seem to flash the zip file that everyone says to do. When I try to open SuperSU it says it root undetected, but my bootloader still says custom and when I reboot in recovery it says custom. Also rootchecker says that I am not rooted. I just want to get my phone working either with the original software, or rooting all over again.

How on earth did you delete the Play store when trying to remove third party apps?
Anyway... I'd nuke the phone and start from scratch. Have you searched through your device's forum for advice? Feels like the more appropriate place to go... Good luck.
My phone loaded into recovery mode and factory reset the phone and now there is nothing on it. I cant get it to load what can I do

Your phone did that by itself? Seems unlikely...
And that doesn't sound like a factory reset, it sounds like compete wipe.
Like I said, go to your device's forum, find the stock firmware (here's one guide) or a custom ROM and flash it to your device. If you need further advice, those forums is the place to go...
What you really need to do though is read, read, read about what you're doing, before doing it. "Sir! Put the device down and step away!" :laugh:
