It seems like some applications break access to the stock fire OS Settings menu.
I used rootjunkie to root, stop ads, stop OTA updates and Google play.
I installed a deadpixel tester app, and settings didn't work afterwards.
So I had to reinstalled the 5.1.2 firmware using the Hold Volume Down button & Power button recovery mode.
Then later tried installing xposed-v80-sdk22-arm.zip using FlashFire v0.24, same thing, the Settings menu just flashes a black screen.
Anyone else have the Settings menu stop working?

I had this same problem...I assume like me you installed mts rom and with Titanium Backup and rooted permissions deleted or froze the setup wizard app...then reinstalled a rom and it tried to run the set up wizard?
You have to be on the "select language screen" to do this factory bypass of the setup wizard...I'm not sure if once you pass it(ie: selected English and it goes to the next screen) if you can get back to it simply by turning it off and on...try that first...if not...
*boot into recovery (turn screen off then on...should be on "lock screen" now
*long press power button and that will get you to the recovery boot menu...you can reinstall rom now if neccessary(again not sure if you have to go through all this)
The point is to get to the language selection screen DON'T select a language instead press these buttons in this order
Volume up
Volume down
Back button
Home button
This is the factory bypass for the setup...Then you need to reinstall or unfreeze lg.setupwizard.com or it will do it the next time you change roms...
Hope this helps...sorry so long just trying to be thorough...
Thanks for the info jtmessimer. I ended up doing a clear all data then restore data. Reflashed ROM and that seemed to work.
Recently I installed maverick 4.5 using safestrap 3.05. Now I am completely unable to access safestrap and the rom is unstable. As soon as I installed safestrap so I could back up my working rom, it automatically switched to the previous broken ROM slot. Is there any way to access safestrap now? When I hit the menu button it just boots into maverick 4.5. I really need help on this as I don't want to lose any of my data from the stock rom I was running. The phone is currently using the XT883 radio so I can use the phone on AT&T, but the acutal model is XT862. It's also running version .906. I know I could just sbf back to .906, but I really need to be able to access safestrap.
EDIT: I actually managed to fix it by using the BP tools option. I'm sure others have had this issue as well, but a mod can now close this.
"The EASIEST and most DEPENDABLE way I've found to boot into the new SS 3.05 is;
Shutdown the phone
Slide open keyboard
Hold M and press the power button to boot the phone (still holding M, release when it boots the next step)
Immediately a menu pops up
Press Volume DOWN to highlight "BP Tools" (tap several times, be quick, if you wait too long, it'll automatically select what is highlighted)
Press Volume UP to select it.
Phone will reboot showing the M logo, then proceed into SS Recovery."
This is a fairly known issue. The steps you've posted are what most of us do. I've also heard if, when the safestrap splash screen comes up, you wait a few seconds and the screen dims, to then hit the menu key. Some people claim to have a fairly good success rate using this method, although certainly via BP tools is mist dependable

Hi,
I'm using an One M7 with latest OTA stock rom (5.0.2 with Sense 6.0 and kernel 3.4.10-g6388905) and it "loses" my wifi passwords after some hours after booting. The password entry in the connect list is then empty and it is not possible to enter a password there. I then have to reboot and then for some hours all passwords are there (without reentering them!) and Wifi works. The next day it is unable to log into Wifi.
Sometimes even the telephone is unable to make a call then.
I tried a soft reset, but it doesnt helps.
Is the only way to factory reset it? Are there newer stock roms, than the one I already got via OTA? It came after the last OTA, I think.
I don't want to miss Sense, and as I found there are no working Android 6 roms out...(even without Sense not).
Regards,
Stefan
Hi,
I did a complete factory reset and now its the same...
Has anybody any idea to not throw it away?
I found out, that sometimes activating the Wifi Hotspot and then deactivativating it (when it is not completely on, which doesn't work then) and activating Wifi works again ithout the reboot. But this doesn't do the trick always.
Stefan
Has no one any idea what to do?
Updating firmware?
Man I dont think anyone's alive in this forum. You can see if it's an app doing it by booting into safe mode. But you should just wipe the cache. So turn off phone. Hold volume down and power button until you get the boot loader. In boot loader scroll down using the volume button to recovery. Then press power button to select. The screen will go black but wait it will eventually boot into recovery. Then scroll down to delete cache. Hit power button. Scroll to reboot, hit power button and you are done. See if that works. If not in recovery you can do a REAL factory reset. Good luck.
My home button has stopped working on my TP. I'm currently stuck on the mobot 0.35 screen. volume rockers work to move cursor up and down to select webos or Android but home button to select wont work. Seems I can only wait for the battery to die and then let it reboot naturally since holding the power button and the volume rocker doesn't seem to reboot in Mobot screen.
Going forward I'd like to restore home button functionality. it stopped working some time ago. Should I open up HP TouchPad and see if I can fix the issue with the contacts of the home button? Don't know if thats easy or if I'm capable of. Or is there another way to install a newer Android version for me without a functional home button? thx!

Android should be the default boot option for moboot. You could try using the older install methods with the ACMEInstaller5 here if you're desperate to get android working again. Try using a newer rom below.
Download Android 4.4.4 Kitkat install files(Rom, Recovery, Gapps):
Rom:Download the latest Lineage11 build
Recovery:TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612b.zip
Gapps:gapps-base-arm-4.4.4-20170902-1-signed.zip
Note: Do Not unzip the files.
Repairing the actual button could be tricky but there's an iFixit guide here HP TouchPad disassembly guide on youtube here
Hello,
I've left my wife phone aside for awhile because I'm stuck for the first time on an android Phone :
RR android N v5.8.5 (7.1.2_r29)
I can't access recovery either through :
magisk > modules > reboot recovery doesnt work
button press combination doesn't work
adb reboot bootloader doesnt work
It seems ADB disable itself phone side after each reboot.
Fastboot through volume down + power does work but the phone is then not recognised through adb
At the time of writing magisk says my version of magisk isn't recognised and I cant therefore use it.
So I cant su root in local terminal.
From MIUI to RR i never had any trouble but it seems at one point in 2017 a firmware or something else broke something.
Any of you could help me ? I read different thread closely related but didn't found the solution yet.
Hope to read from you soon.
Have a nice day.
[UPDATE1]
I installed an old magisk manaer (6.1.0) my magisk version is 17.1
As I havent got recovery I cannot update magisk even through flashify
[UPDATE2]
I was about to install windows in a VM to try smth with MiFlash when suddenly I could finally communicate with the redmi through fastboot.
From the beginning the problem has always been with connector which led to this problem.
The connector constantly connect and disconnects so it's quite hard to maintain or gain connection from adb or fastboot aswell as charging the phone.
I'll look into changing it.
I am quite confused about what is going on with your device and cant understand what exactly going on.
Anyways what is current state of your device? which ROM it has now? is your device able to boot into fastboot mode?(to enter fastboot mode turn off device and then press and hold volume down + power button together) and then flash latest or your choice of recovery.
you can enter into recovery mode by turning on power menu buttons. if you are on RR then it should be in RR settings or somewhere there.
Just look for advance reboot turn that on and then you will see new option available when pressing and holding power button. choose advanced reboot > recovery and your phone will reboot into recovery.
also there is notification toggle is also available if isn't there then add it by using edit icon on notification shade.
if you are on MIUI then go to update and choose reboot to recovery by tapping on three dots on top right corner. if reboot to recovery does not shows then tap MIUI icon several times and then it'll show.
