[Q] Repair Galaxy Note N7000 SystemUI / TouchWiz home stopped working errors?

Hello everyone,
I've been literally 12 hours searching for possible answers on how to repair my Galaxy Note N7000 which from what I've concluded, has a problem that can be easily repaired but I've found nothing but limitations when I have a go at it. It doesn't seem to be bricked as I can still access recovery mode, download mode and it effectively boots, it's only giving me errors.
Here's what happened:
1) I tried rooting it using UnlockRoot PRO. Paid the PRO version, detected the device. Later I find it says the N7000 with 4.1.2 is not compatible so the rooting process was never completed, so I rooted it using Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed and it worked just fine.
2) Everything worked fine, downloaded Andromizer to customize the phone.
3) Changed the DPI size to test it, then went to Developer Options and changed the Animation scales to 0.5 to make it all run faster.
4) Rebooted the device. Once I did, I got nothing but "SystemUI has stopped working" together with "TouchWiz home has stopped working errors".
I checked around the web and so far, what I've found (and tried) is this:
1) There seems to be a bug related to TouchWiz and the Animation Scale option (or perhaps the DPI size option in Andromizer). So I tried to do a wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode.
2) When trying the wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode, I rebooted the phone, only to find the SAME errors after I registered everything.
3) First option that came to mind was to wipe everything and immediatly reinstall the Official JellyBean 4.1.2 firmware (at this point I want to pretty much unroot the device as I didn't know it was going to give me so much trouble). When I tried that, I realized that SUDDENLY, Odin (nor Heimdall) are NOT detecting the phone in download mode. I'm guessing it's because USB Debugging is turned off but, I can't access the phone settings. It's my only logical conclusion, although it should be turned on given I could install PhilZ Custom Recovery later.
4) I search around the web and it says it's a driver problem. So I uninstall everything, run CCleaner, USBDeview to uninstall everything related to the Samsung Galaxy. Reboot. Install drivers again. Reboot. Plug booted phone and let Windows detect the device, installed successfully. Reboot in download mode. Let windows detect the device, installed successfully. Run Odin: DEVICE NOT DETECTED. (It does detect it while it's booted though, only it doesn't work for **** obviously).
I've literally tried everything. I've tried checking for a way to install the firmware via Recovery Mode instead of Download Mode. I've tried checking for a way to remotely access the device and mod the settings from there using ADB, and I get the same problem in ADB, doesn't detect the device.
Also tried to reset settings to normal via PhilZ Custom Recovery which I managed to install later.
Isn't there just a way to reset all settings to normal? Shouldn't a factory reset do this? How can I get SOMETHING to work and try to recover the phone? Any Aroma Recovery Script? Any way to mess with the system folder and modify settings manually via notepad or something since due to the SystemUI / TouchWiz home errors I can't access the phone settings?
I'm barely awake at this point. Can't believe I've stressed myself this much. Please help. This is beyond retarded.
Thank you,
Z

i had the same exact problem just few hours ago.....first of all you should boot into recovery mood by pressing vol up+ home button+lock button until samsung logo shows and then wipe all data/factory reset and wipe all cache partitions..........if that didnt fix it you should try rerooting it againg after re wiping

I read the post but it seems you have done a lot of things and nothing worked. So what is the situation right now? You can boot as normal but cannot get any icons or settings as sysUI and TW crashes?

Try installing GB ROM then wipe/cache first. If good, root GB ROM then do full wipe. Then test ROM for crashing.
If good then install JB rom and test. Let us know.

unable to enter phone setting ？ then just simply look for a secsetting.apk for ur version then replace it n set the permission rw-r--r--

Bwahahah, now I see why you guys enjoy calling newcomers "noobs".
It was a computer problem. I just reinstalled JB 4.1.2 from my netbook and it worked.
Weird as hell though, given that I updated my GT-N7000 to JB 4.1.2 through Odin in this computer and it never gave me any problems.
I AM going to learn some ADB / Android SDK though. I'd rather learn everything before something like this happens to me again.
I appreciate everyone's concern, and thank you all for it.

nice to hear that you had this one fixed

Glad to hear its working now.

[Q] LG L90 D315 bricked without recovery access etc

So this is my first xda thread. I spent hours searching without finding a solution for my particular case.
I am using a LG L90 D415 (T-Mobile version) and I got bored of it and so I started playing with the system (not the first phone I'm doing that with, so I know a bit about that sutff). So I tried to install the new Android L home launcher from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2796019
I did everything like explained, installed it and changed the build.prop like described. But after I rebooted my phone, expecting a new home launcher, the phone boots, I am at the lockscreen, but after like 4 seconds I receive multiple errors (like gapps stopped working) and than everything freezes and it reboots.
Unfortunaly I didn't install a recovery or unlocked fastboot. So I can access download mode, but that's it. My computer doesn't see my phone (because usb debugging deactivated?) and so I don't know what to do. I think that's a pretty tough case but I hope some smart person can help me
Thank you

No custom recovery and no fastboot? Factory reset is your only option. See this post. Scroll down to Q14. Even though it's titled something else, the same button presses apply for your device in it's current state, ie; no recovery, no fastboot

First thanks for the fast answer. So I figuered that I only need to delete the build.prop file and replace it with my backup file. Isn't there any way to rescue my files and/or access the /system folder? I'm an exchange student now and I don't wanna lose my picture memories
And btw I know that I build the perfect worst case scenario right now
Oh and in the L90 faq it says that when you flashed a recovery and you navigate to factory reset it won't reset but boot into recovery. Does something like this work even without recovery, so I could try doing stuff with adb?

If adb isn't detecting the phone, no. There isn't any other way.

Unfortunately, no.
Factory reset will not erase your sdcard. It will however erase internal data. It will return the phone to the state it was in the first time it was powered on.

(NEED HELP!) Evercoss A65/Sprout 8 - Doesn't Boot Up, and Cannot Access Recovery..

Hello guys,
I'm using Evercoss A65/Sprout 8. And I'm using CyanogenMod 13 (Official Nightly - January, 21 Build)
And, I'm using TWRP as Recovery.
Last night, my phone is on low battery, and then I charge it.
Then, I leave it charged when I'm asleep.
In the morning, I check my phone and it was on the black screen, just like a boot loop.
I tried to reboot it several times, unplug the battery, sim, and sdcard. But, these things just doesn't work out.
I have try to going into Recovery, and it shows standard menu which has; reboot normally, reboot recovery, fastboot mode, options..
I've tried every single option, like normal reboot, reboot into recovery, etc. and it come back again into the blank black screen.
(So I can't get into Recovery)
I try to find the solutions, but I have found nothing
Can I use USB Debugging to reinstall the ROM and start the phone normally?
I never have this problem before, need to solve it very soon..
I need your help,
Any helps is very appreciated!
Many Thanks! :good:

Does it has Android M or L ? Is it rooted or unrooted ?

Click to expand...

It uses android L, and yes... I rooted it

This is nothing to do with the ROM, ur battery has completely empty that y when u power on it blink then off again n if u goto bootloader,then select any option also it will blank
Solution- Charge ur handset leave it for more than half an hour,and check again,if still problem persist,try to power on with other battery.

I tried to to root evercoss A65 with Android 6 using "android one toolkit (updated)".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...oolbox-android-one-toolkit-one-click-t3030165
Rooting was successful as per tool and device rebooted. Device got hung at the android logo and did not come up. I waited for 2-3 hr, but no success. To recover the device, I did, factory reset but nothing help. It got stuck.
No clue what went wrong
Thank You!

well if you formatted user data and everything is clean you can go ahead and install a custom rom or flash a stock rooted rom that is provided in the dev section and the wifi issue should fix itself.

I would suggest the following:
1. Read up on fastboot. This will allow you to recover from most things with this phone.
2. Use fastboot to flash a custom recovery.
3. Use the custom recovery to flash a custom rom.
If this doesn't work... Download the nexus 6 factory images (google will help with this). Then just reflash stock and see if it works.
There's literally 0 reason to root stock before flashing custom roms on this phone.
Also, make sure that you unlock your bootloader.

You could start it in bootloader mode and restore factory.
You could also try another wifi connection (go somewhere else).

As someone mentioned. You need to read up on fastboot.
You softbricked your phone it seems.
Gonna need a PC/Mac/Linux to fastboot it and fix it.

If you did a factory reset, all your personal data was lost, but the stock ROM should still be present. Your phone isn't damaged based upon your posts, but you do need to do some reading and understand what it is you are doing before you do damage your Nexus. Start at the Nexus 6 Sticky Roll Thread and read the tutorial on ADB and Fastboot. Then read the Nexus 6 All-In-One Beginner's Guide.
To resolve the "Checking Connection" issue you're currently having, take out your SIM card and try pressing "Skip" at the WiFi connection screen. If successful, you won't have any connectivity but will have fully booted into Android. From there you can access Developer Options, and enable OEM Unlock. Actually unlocking the bootloader requires a computer, and until the bootloader is unlocked, you won't be able to flash anything to the device. So, start reading.

I don't think that would work.
After factory reset, he'd need to log in to his original account. So needs wifi or internet connection for that (or another phone which can share the same account credentials via nfc). Failing that, as others mentioned flash a useable system to get working wifi.

Shoot, I keep forgetting about factory reset protection. Likely because I have Enable OEM Unlock active.

Random freeze and data wipe at every reboot

So, as I say in the title, I've got this problem and I don't know how to solve it. I already looked on the other thread but I couldn't find anything really helpful.
It all started when I installed this module from Magisk (®FDE.AI, a battery optimizer). At the time I was using the xiaomi.eu ROM. When I rebooted the phone, as required, the recovery showed up, with the "/sdcard/" folder empty.
From then, I tried changing ROM back and forth, but the problem is always the same:
-When I install some apps and I reboot the phone or it boots in recovery or erase everything (showing me the initial setup screen)
-If the TWRP is installed and it reboot in recovery, I get either random error (in the data folder) or something like "Unable to mount /cache" and "Unable to mount /data"
-Random apps, at random condition, freeze. (Ex. Whatsapp, Telegram, Volum Control, Settings, Launcher, etc...)
ROM that I tried:
-xiaomi.EU
-Lineage OS
-MIUI 10.3.6.0 and MIUI 10.3.8.0 by fastboot (both messing up with the phone sensor: I had to flash persist.img)
-MIUI 10.3.11.0
What I already tried:
-Lock/Unlock bootloader
-Change TWRP
-Flash with Mi Flash the stock ROM
-Wiping Data/Cache/System and Format Data
-EDL flashing (without opening the back, but with the command "fastboot oem edl-mode"): it gives me an error, saying that my account is unauthorized
What should I try to do? I'm very desperate. Could be that the module I installed is still in the system?
You guys are my really last chance, I don't really know what to do.
EDIT:
We didn't find any kind of solutions, so some of us send the phone to get repaired.
Conclusion: DON'T EVER EVER INSTALL FDE.AI ON YOUR K20 PRO
EDIT2:
If you find to have the same problem as us, please write that on the FDE thread. Maybe the developer will do something!
EDIT3:
Mine K20 Pro got fixed by the service center by replacing the motherboard. There are no solution via software for now.

Same issue ! I dont know what to do

if you have already open the back cover, try this:
- unplug the battery, connect the phone to computer with USB, wait for the phone to power up, connect the battery cable again and test.
if not, you should go to service center for warranty.

As you can see this is a serious problem.
I made a post in the FDE thread, but since no one has responded, could you make one you, too? Or just quote mine (it should be in the second-last page).

Anyone found a fix for it yet?

Nothing. I'm talking via email to the seller to send it to get repair. It's really sad that nobody help and the developer of FDE didn't care at all

After installing this mod on mi9t(not pro) also brick. Even EDL flashing didnt help
