[Q] Phone unusable - Launcher Pro (android.process.acore)

Hi everyone,
I was using my nexus one with low battery, and then it shut down.
I went back to car, attached it to the recharger, and pushed power button.
At this point it turned on and a setup similar to first boot appeared (selection of language, date & time, google account)..
Once the setup was completed, I pressed the home button and associated it with Launcher Pro.
At this point a popup message appeared, saying (translated from italian):
"Sorry! Sudden interruption of the application Launcher Pro (process Android.process.acore). Retry.", with a button named "Retry".
- If I press the "Retry" button, the same popup message appears on and on again.
- If I shut the phone down and restart it, it asks for the SIM pin, the unlock pattern, and then the popup message appears again and again..
- I can't access the menu through the button, and I am stuck in this situation!..
- I tried to uninstall Launcher Pro via appbrain about two hours ago, but with no luck..
Any help would be much appreciated..
Thanks!

Assuming you aren't rooted, I just want to let you know you always have the last resort of resetting the phone back to default, so the phone itself is still fine.
With root, you can ADB and remove LauncherPro.

Hi cigar3tte,
I'm not rooted, so I could "reset the phone back to default".
Do you mean reset it to factory default (aka hard reset)?
Note: If I press the menu button at the bottom of the device, nothing happens and the popup keeps showing up
However, the procedure I found for the hard reset is this:
"With the phone shut off, while holding down the volume button on the side of the N1, press the power button briefly while maintaining the volume button pressed in for around 5-10 seconds.
You should be presented with a menu that allows for: Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. You can release the volume button at this time.
Select Clear storage with the volume button up and down, then press and release the power button to make the selection.
It will ask you to confirm this decision. Press the yes button using the volume up."
Should i proceed so?
Thanks!

Yes, I meant a factory reset. Before doing so, check for any data you might want to save.
As for the method, what you found should work fine. I've never done a hard reset from the default recovery. I've only done it from the phone itself (which you can't access) and custome recovery.

Hi cigar3tte,
I followed your suggestion and did the shut-off-and-on procedure.
After that, I was asked to complete the initial configuration (time, google account, etc). and I am now on the home screeen!
Thank you so much for your help!

For future reference, you would probably have been able to fix this without wiping... turn the phone on, then when the X appears hold the trackball, it should boot in safe mode and you can remove/clear data as needs be.

AuraxTSense ROM - I know someone having this issue, anything they can try short of full wipe?

[Q] Can't Get Past "LogicPD Zoom2" setup

I rooted my color nook and it just didn't seem to be working correctly so I did extensive reading here on how to unroot it. I did a hard reset and all seems well through the B&N registration process but then the Android character comes on the screen with "Welcome to logicPD Zoom2" at the bottom of the screen and it makes me go through a google registration process BUT the software thinks the Nook is a phone and so of course can't connect to complete the registration.
I can cancel out of that but the "extras" screen still shows the "Market" App, Superuser app, etc. whih o course means that it is still rooted.
I have tried cancelling out of the google registration process and activiating a wireless connection (which works fine) and then signing in through gmail and I get a screen that says "Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to set up your account. This may take up to five minutes." This is then followed by a screen that says "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporay problem or your phne may not be provisioned for datat services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
So it is not unrooting and it still thinks it is a phone. I have ttried the "8 times" powering up and can't get past the fifth time without it just continuing through the boot process.
Thanks for reading this far. I would appreciate any guidance.
Robert

I would keep trying the 8 times reboot process, then after that has completed you have to erase it and de-register it.
You can also try the 2nd method of 8 times reboot through adb,
Set the Boot counter to 8 by typing
If you have installed adb to your desktop, and if your computer is in a state where adb is working, you can go to the directory where you have adb.exe installed and type the following three commands:
adb shell
echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
reboot
Part two: ReImage the /data part. This is called Factory Reset
After re-imaging /system in step one, you need to perform a SECOND process to clear /data.
Method 1: Hardware Key Combination
With the NOOKcolor powered off hold down the n button (home) and Power Button until the NOOKcolor powers on.
You will be prompted with a Factory Reset dialog.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
Press n button (home).
You will be prompted to confirm.
Press POWER key to Exit
Press HOME key to continue
Press n button (home).
A Clearing Data dialog will show. NOOKcolor will reboot automatically once complete.
Method 2: "Erase & Deregister Device"
Go to Settings
Select "Device Info" under the top "Device Settings" section
Select "Erase & Deregister Device"
Select the "Erase & Deregister Device" button
You will be prompted with the following confirmation dialog
Are you sure you want to reset your Nook?
Doing so will return your Nook to factory settings, erase local content and deregister this device.
Cancel Reset Nook
Select the "Reset Nook" button
A Deregistration message will appear and NOOKcolor will reboot.
Upon reset a Clearing data message will appear
Clearing data...
A reset is being performed.
This may take a few minutes.
NOOKcolor will reboot again once complete.

As stated above, you can't just do one or the other, you have to do both the 8 resets and then the factory reset.

This worked!!!
I was able to get through the "eight times" method using the power button (which is a good thing and the adb option is likely beyond my abilities). It seems that the power button needs to be held down for at least ten seconds after the scrren goes dark each time.
I then used "Method 2" of data clearing and I am back to out of the box condition.
You guys are rock stars. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

i have this same error and am not near my PC, bummer .

Variation of this problem - troubleshooting suggestions?
Can someone suggest a way out of THIS problem?
NC will not boot if SD card is inserted. (Tried 2 different cards with clockwork).
NC boots to LogicPd Zoom2 welcome screen if started without SD card - but icons are unresponsive.
Tried 3 button reset and then restarting 8 times from LogicPd Zoom 2 screen - no luck.
Tried the same from the ANDROID welcome screen just before Logic PD Zoom screen - no luck.
Loaded SDB on my computer but can't get it to recognize the NC; no device is detected. (Tried changing up drivers with no effect).
Tried letting the NC power run down to zero. Won't start in this state and when I recharge, it puts me back into Logic PD screen.
The only progress I've made is that if I let the NC run down to 15% battery power, I get a low battery icon. Clicking that icon will take me to the android settings menu.
Any ideas on what's wrong and how to correct given the limited control I have?

LogicPD Zoom loop - one solution
I finally was able to get out of the loop AND install CM7 by following directions found here -

For whatever reason, this clockwork image DOES boot from SD card. Previous images I had tried, including a recovery image, did not work...

[Q] Easy Mode - Call waiting

I searched but couldn't find anything on this. I have a user who has the AT&T Note 3. She likes to use easy mode. However she cannot use call waiting. It doesn't allow her to. If she turns off easy mode, it works just fine. Her boyfriend has the verizon model and it works fine for him in easy mode. Is there something i'm missing on the AT&T version. When i put her phone in easy mode, i checked to make sure that call waiting was ticked following these instructions:
From the Home Screen tap Phone.
Press the Menu key.
Tap Call settings.
Tap Additional settings.
Tick/Untick Call waiting.
If anyone can assist would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: If someone with a Note 3 on AT&T can test with their phone to see if it works, would be much appreciated. Just put your phone in Easy mode and then see if you can put a call on hold. This would help me out quite a bit and would let me know if its her phone or just AT&T stopping it from working. Thanks!
2nd EDIT: I contacted Samsung and they said it should work but doesn't. This is what Samsung said "If the Call waiting working in Standard mode and it is activated from the Carrier, we request you to reset the app preferences by following the below steps:
From the home screen touch menu or apps > settings > more > application manager > swipe the screen to left till you see “All” > touch menu > tap on Reset app preferences.
After that, please perform the soft reset on the phone.
Soft reset refreshes the device internal circuitry.
1. Turn off the handset.
2. Remove the battery and wait for 30 seconds.
3. Reinsert the battery and turn ON the device.
If the issue persists, please clear the cache of the device by following the below steps.
These troubleshooting steps will not delete the data of the device. However, the cache files and bug files will be cleared.
1.Power the device off (remove and re-insert the battery).
2.Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key, then press and hold the Power key.
3.When the device vibrates; release only the Power key.
4.When the Android system recovery menu displays; release the Volume Up and the Home key.
5.Navigate with the Volume keys to the “Wipe cache partition” option and press the Power key to select.
6.After user data deletes, press the Power key to reboot system now. "
None of the above worked. Went to Bestbuy and had the Samsung tech try it. He had an AT&T Note 3 and we tested. It did the same thing for him. I believe it maybe an issue with the KitKat update but not 100% sure. I will let Samsung and AT&T know and see if they can fix the issue.

Phone Hard Bricked after Android 11 update

Hi, as of this morning (July 10, 2021) i received an OTA update notification and obviously proceeded with it. Well, after finishing and rebooting the phone screen would turn on and off a few times in a second and i couldn't use the lockscreen at all. Calls and alarms still worked tho.
After a quick search i saw someone suggesting to format data, so i proceeded to do just that, after almost finishing at the last stage (like 1% remaning) it prompted an error and turned off.
What i can do and what i can see:
-Pressing Power Button
-Screen turns on with Realme white logo and powered by android underneath
-after a few seconds phone vibrates turns the screen off and on and the realme logo is back again
-after a few more seconds the screen goes totally white and doesn't turn off
-pressing any button once doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume - doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume + for 10 seconds turns off the phone

-after a few more seconds the screen goes totally white and doesn't turn off
-pressing any button once doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume - doesn't change the state
-pressing and holding Power Button and Volume + for 10 seconds turns off the screen then it flickers for an instant to white and then turns off

Obviously the phone is not recognized by ADB

Hello I have the same issue. After applying the Android 11 update, my phone was locked and flickering with a lock icon. I rebooted into recovery and did a wipe and format. I got an error message format failed. Now the phone restarts and falls to boot into recovery. I have a white screen.
I have tried to use ADB to to boot into fast boot mode but I get an "unrecognised device" message. I have tried installing ADB USB delivers to no avail.
Would appreciate getting my phone up and running again.
Many thanks!
Irshad

I've exactly the same problem after applying rmx1931ex_11_f.11-Update (Android 11). First flickering screen and after wipe a white screen in place of recovery.
I was trying to contact the realme-support via email without answer.
On ebay is somebody who offers an unbrick service which if already contacted, but he needs remote access to my computer.
Did you have some progress on your phones?
regards windigo

Hi Windigo,
No luck mate I have sent multiple emails to Realme and have not heard back. Please let me know if you are successful and I will have my phone done as well.
Thanks!

At the end I got my phone unbricked with the help of that ebay-guy and a remote-session on my laptop - check article 402661557038. Sadly they made it more expensive now.
But I will try to explain it, what he did and found also a good explanation in 4pda which I will translate into english.
see https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=986690&st=3240#entry103410894
1. Download the files from google-drive, which are hidden in the 4pda-post spoiler "Ссылка". You will need everything except the excel-sheet
2. save everything in one folder
3. install the qualcom-driver for edl-mode.
4. next start the program auth-flash and push the button "register", after that push login. buy 1 credit via the program.
with credentials you can also login at http://auth-flash.com/ - at this website are also contacts to buy this one credit (minimum 7$)
=> this step has done the ebay-guy for me. so I can't help here
5. after charging this one credit on your auth-flash-account you have to open the msm download tool from google drive and enter the credentials (region non-europe)
6. unpack RMX1931EX_11_C.32_200918_1cb40e2f.zip and choose the included ofp-file from msm download tools
7. connect a usb cable to your computer
8. your smartphone has to be switched off
9. hold volume up & down pressed and plug in the usb cable in your smartphone. this will boot up your phone in edl-mode. the screen from the phone keeps black
in the windows device manager you should see under ports something like "qdl 8000"
10. press refresh in msm download tool and you should see an entry in the list like "COM3 connected"
11. then start the flash by pushing the start-button
12. after the flash in edl mode is finiahed your phone should start up normally.
I had to switch once more into bootloader mode an wipe all data, because otherwise I couldn't switch on wifi in android
13. after that I upgraded via ota to android 11, made once again a factory reset in bootloader and started to restore my apps,...
So the tricky part in my opinion is to get that 1 credit. But I don't know really how it works. The guy in 4pad paid it via paypal.
The auth-flash- and msm download-program can only be started as admin and with deactivated virus scanner. For sure there are virus inside so made a full scan after you finished this procedure.

Seems hella sketchy... Btw I contacted Amazon and after some checks that the device was indeed not working they offered me a full refund!
Went to buy a new phone after that and had a few possibilities: OP9, ZenFone 8, Realme GT...
But after this sh*t happened with an official OTA update I literally noped it from the list... Went with Z8.
Good luck to you guys.

Hi Windigo,
I appreciate you sharing the methodology you used to unbrick your phone. I am unable to locate the files that are required for download or the MSM download tool. The instructions are quite difficult to follow.
