Alright guys I need your help, and I couldn't find anything that helped. Anyways I was messing with my phone, and I got a system notification that wouldn't clear in the notification bar. I usually just click on the app and click "force close" from the settings app. Unfortunately I accidentally clicked disable instead, and now I can't seem to re enable the settings.
I'm currently running the venom Rom from kit Kat 4.4.2. Hopefully someone can help, and not laugh at me too much. Anyways thanks in advance.

just re-flash the rom
Ya I just tried that a little while ago and it didn't work. Although I didn't wipe anything I just flashed. Do you think I might have to flash?
What is it that you disabled?

Like clsA said, just re-flash the rom, you will have to wipe everything, possibly your internal storage too as if I remember right, Venom Rom stores the settings there, I know for sure it stores themes and mods there, this will leave your phone completely empty apart from Bootloader and Recovery, you will then have to push the ROM to your internal storage and flash it.
Place the rom in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, put the phone in recovery (main screen only), plug into the PC and open a command window in your fastboot/adb folder and type adb push (rom name).zip /sdcard/
Then flash it.
Alright I'll try that now that I'm home I'll see if that works thank you.

I disabled the settings app. You know where you can see app settings and such. I'll have to wait a bit before I can use a computer. But I was wondering, after using the app you suggested (didn't seem to work on my problem) I was able to find the "settings.apk" file. Wondering if uninstalling and reinstalling the "settings" app would fix anything with out having to lose any of my data. But I'm also not sure if uninstalling the settings would damage my phone, or if I do uninstall it might not let me install it again.
I tried installing the apk with out uninstalling it first and it just said application not installed

I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help
Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.
Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.
It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me
Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.

It is not listed in the "All Apps" section of the apps manager.
Symptoms: When my phone rings the notification to tell me who is calling does not pop up. I have to go into the phone app to even see who is calling, much less answer the call.
My notification bar is gone.
When I get a text message my phone will vibrate, but not chime.
My wall paper is gone.
I have found threads about rooted phones where people have removed the systemui that this are the same symptoms they have. The problem is that they had the original rooted program they used, so can reinstall that. I cannot do that, as my phone is not rooted. That is why I think my systemui is gone.
Install root explorer and check in /system/app folder for the apk, or in /preload/symlink/system/app. If it's there in preload, you will need to create a symlink for that in system/app.

You won't be able to install it as you're not rooted and it requires administrator privileges. But it's there anyway so I don't think that's the issue.

Thats really strange... Try rebooting into recovery (Vol up, home and power held down until you see samsung logo) then choose wipe cache and reboot. I doubt that will fix it though.
Only other options I can see are to root device by installing phillz kernel, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery, or root device, reinstall the app and make sure permissions are correct, or wipe device and start from scratch.

Stop playing with essential parts of your system if you have absolutely no idea of what you are doing.
To get back to a reliable configuration:
download a stock rom and install it following the instructions in Dr. Ketan's thread here.
After that: start to read and learn. High probability this will protect the life of your device.

Without y'all, I would of sold this phone.
KNOWN ISSUES:
No Aroma installer support. This is due to the stock Note 3 kernel framebuffer. To build a recovery which worked, it needed QCOM patches. So will Aroma.
If you try a .zip file with an Aroma installer, it will most likely just hang.
If you're stock ROM is modified then the "Reboot Recovery" function from inside Safestrap APK may / may not work.
Right now flashing / booting ROMs on rom-slots is broken. I'm debugging best I can.
EXFAT support seems broken right now (64gb SD cards)
Here is how we are using it now, but please read and follow instructions.

Well, I downloaded the theme again and booted into recovery. Selected the Stock Slot (already checked).
I installed the theme and went to select the slot again but its already selected so I just wiped cache and dalvik cache.
Rebooted phone and nothing. Same stock look.

You have to turn the phone off or just regular reboot and then the option will pop up to boot in recovery. This will happen if you clicked "install recovery" inside the SS apk.

Once installed, open up the Safestrap application as you would any other app.
Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
I installed SS as soon as it went up and everything has gone smoothly. It's worth mentioning that I used the original De La Vega root and never updated because I had zero problems afterwards. I never tried any of the dirty workarounds to flashing roms. I rebooted into recovery from the app (flawlessly) and made a backup. Then decided to g3t ballsy and install galaxyman's theme while wiping caches. It only appeared to partially work. Then I remembered that I had partially themed my phone using Wanam/X-Blast. I turned those off and viola! My phone looks ultraslick.

Also SS is meant to be a failsafe recovery, meaning your active slot should be your current setup. You should not flash anything to your stock rom slot unless your comfortable. If you want to flash a rom like Encore that's in the development section , create a new rom slot and flash to it; Then if **** hits the fan you always have your stock rom to switch back to.

I started with Mj5....Did the install ROM without recovery a couple of times.
Did the restore Mj5 Thread a bunch.
Before I installed Safestrap, I restored back to stock rooted and installed SS.
Can't flash themes yet.
Maybe I should start all over again but this time restore twice and go to system settings/back up factory reset.
The last time i did the factory reset option after a restore, the phone was perfect.
Maybe I will just do that and start over...Will report back.

At the end of all steps, the last step is an easy "put files here" and it rooted. (after a reboot twice)
Just follow instructions
When I reboot and the safestrap screen comes up where I can choose to enter recovery or enter regular system. In red it says safestrap disabled. Is this typical?
I know safestrap is installed and running as I created a backup did a factory reset then then did a back up from the recovery I created.

Have you got an unlocked bootloader and rooted already? If so, then you can get into the file Explorer with root option to delete the apk files directly from the folder..

Btw, could be a stupid question.. Did you check the option "Allow installation of apps from Unknown sources" in the setting option?

I had a similar issue but I had to completely wipe the device and flashed the custom rom later it worked..

It's not a stupid question but yes I did check and it's set to "Allow from Unknown sources"

I wanted to avoid that option, but I'll give it a try.
There has to be an options in settings or security somewhere which is blocking it.

Well doing a factory reset fixed my problem.
Hello, ours been working while since I've rooted a phone, so I'm rusty. I did manage to unlock my phone, then install TWRP and SU-v1 1.25. I realize nite that's old and outdated. First the TWRP didn't work, so I swapped to clockwork, and that works fine. Problem is my sure is not on and phone isn't rooted. I'm guessing I need an updated SU. Where do I find and do I just copy it on my phone? I'm sure there is a post for this, I just can't find. Any help or direction to proper thread would be great, thanks

When I go to.... ''flash from zip'' only options I have are
o/
clockworkmod/
Legacy/
Obb/
But I can see the zip file if I look in phone with file viewer. I'm stumped lol. I'm thinking it has to be something simple I'm missing. Strange seeing how clockworkmod works, but still s-on.
Thanks for the help
