Hey guys,
a few days ago i checked out apkupdater and out of curiousity i checked for updates on system apps and installed em with no problems.
After rebooting my phone today I've been wondering why my phone is rebooting after a few seconds in lock screen.
And I was sure these "updates" are the cause for the problem.
This also happens in safe mode by the way.
I don't even have enough time to open Apps.
I tried to reflash with home csc to keep my data and hopefully replacing the bad system apps.
When it booted it showed a notification that its installing updates and I had a bit more time to spend on lock screen but still not enough to uninstall which most likely meant it was installing these "updates".
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to prevent the phone from updating its system apps after a reflash.
The solution itself is simple.. Get rid of these updates.. or factory reset.. but I'd like to keep my data.
I've read about several boot looping problems over the past few days, myself included. I'm starting to wonder a lot of phones were infected affected by an update. just out of curiosity, are you able to mount your partitions? Some of my partitions were messed up, including /data and /sdcard
I fixed it with the command:
adb remove com.dsi.ant.server
It is necessary to enable developer mode and adb debugging. My phone was booting and briefly restarting, so the only way to do it is by being quick.

Hi all
First I'd like to apologise if this thread already exists but so far I cannot find anything (please link me it if it does)(this is my first post as well)
I bought the phone a couple of weeks back. The phone had Android 6.0 marshmallow on it out of the box. The phone has been working perfectly up until today. This Morning i got a notification to say there was a new security update available. I downloaded the update (6mb) and installed it. I went off to work and when i took the phone out of my pocket it was rebooting. I waited for it to boot and after about 20 seconds of using the phone it became unresponsive, i.e. the screen froze, and a couple of seconds later the phone restarted. The phone rebooted constantly throughout the day when I tried to use it. When I got home I searched online for help but didn't find anything, although a factory reset can solve a lot of problems and so that's what I did. I setup the phone as a new phone but after about mins it froze and rebooted again. I have just turned the phone off and I am using a spare atm. I am considering a re flash of the software, however if any of you have had the same problem and have had an easy fix, please let me know. Any help is appreciated

It is odd that even after a factory reset it did this. Maybe try another factory reset and put your Google account on the phone but not any of the apps from Google restore. This will tell you if an app that you have installed is clashing with the new security patch or if the phones software is the culprit.

@TechGuy82 ... Go to the "General" thread (if you haven't already) the whole matter of installing the update is being thrashed out there.
Yeah check out the thread in general... Also just wanted to confirm that I'm having the exact same problem you are and have tried factory reset with the same results. I'm currently attempting a complete software flash with the CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPH24.49-18_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip using the flash all bat

After the factory reset, the phone is rebooting before i can even set it up.
Same issue. I even rerooted and flashed a different rom and it will do it. going to try flashing back to stock before the update and see what happens.
I have the notice for this update - I am not rooted nor have I installed TWRP (I'd like to, eventually)
What I do need to know:
I don't use the phone like most do - services except for buying apps are not necessary. I have downloaded and paid for large data base nature and astronomy apps which a dumb phone won't run. I like speed on the phone so a program opens faster.
Given that - I have disabled 95% of the social type apps on the phone. I've disabled all the extras from Motorola. I don't use, want or need them. What will happen if I apply this update? I
1. Will it refuse to run if something is disabled?
2. Will it override disable and open whatever it thinks it needs?
3. Will it just install where it needs to?
4. Will it bugger the phone?
I just read through what's in Google services and I don't seem to need that. The only thing would be verification of a bought app from Play Store. I disabled Maps, Location, Hangouts, Photos -- There's better paid apps in Play Store and that's why I need to be sure that Play Services doesn't do the checks to see if you bought the app.
I like the feel of this phone, the performance and I love the camera. I just want to use it my way. If I could carry all my reference books with me, I'd use a feature phone. I like to take nature walks and birdwatch.
Guys can anyone help, after full restore on 6.0 I can't normally reboot or turn on my phone .the trouble is when am turn on my phone it loads bootloader instead boots up, and in bootloader when I click "start" it booting up. Reboot do the same thing .

Clear data and cache in recovery?
(Warning, do you have a backup?)

I have got answer for my own question.
It happens when before flashing in terminal type "fastboot oem fb_mode_set" , thats kind like bootloader force mode , when you reboot it always boots to fastboot. So after flashing i forgot to type "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" to exit force mode.
Sorry for too many "reboot" words)
The only way I was able to resolve it was to do a full restore using this factory image. Leave it in fastboot and reflash. I tested before had wiping my sd card, removing my sd, wiping the internal, cache. Figured at that point easier just use a full stock image and see what happens.

Thank you for this been struggling for hours
Hi everybody,
I bought Yotaphone2 on TinyDeal in two weeks ago. Yesterday, somehow I got virus/trojan. I have install all my app from Play store, not from any different sources. Didn't upgrade Android (it was 4.4) or root phone. I tried to stop and uninstall virus but I can't :crying:
First tried to reset to factory data but with no success. After that I tried recovery mode but it can't do anything, said something like E:\ is missing and after that I can't reboot it with recovery command - reboot system. Somehow I success to switch it off and turn it on again and there's nothing happened - same thing, got little hand on top of the screen, a lot of new stuff in app drawer :crying::crying::crying:
Can I somehow repair that so I can get working phone back? Can someone give me advice how to reflash it and how to make phone more secure? Thanks in advance!!:good:
Try updating your phone and download an antivirus app
Hi,
A few days ago I experienced a boot loop on my Nexus 10 with Lineage OS 13, build 20170909.
I broke it down to a recent update of Nova Launcher - going back to an older version and preventing Google Play automatic updates fixed it for me.
There are a number of reports of the same symptom pointing to Nova Google Companion, TeslaUnread, IFTTT, and Action Launcher.
I don't think this is an issue in those apps, but rather caused in the OS - an App should not be able to bring down the OS to a reboot (and even worse, due to the automatic restart of the launcher, causing a reboot loop).
any ideas of a fix in the OS? something else to prevent this from happening again?
Regards
sthones
I confirm the same. Constant bootloop with Nova Launcher
I am also experiencing this on an older version of CM13. Clearing cache does not work. Any quick fix possible via recovery?

I had the same problem with a Galaxy S3 running OctOS (CM13 based Android 6.0.1). The Nova Launcher update caused my phone to crash and reboot as soon as it was unlocked.
I was able to disable Nova in recovery (TWRP) using the built-in TWRP file manager. navigate to /data/app/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/ and delete base.apk. This will keep Nova from loading on startup but will not delete your data. My phone worked fine after that, albeit without Nova.
Thanks a lot, removing base.apk stopped the reboot loop.
My device has just started a bootloop too, but I don't even have Nova installed on it (though I do on my phone), just the stock launcher in CM / LineageOS.
I reset it to factory defaults and then it boots, but when it restores my old apps it starts looping again, so one of them is the cause. I didn't learn anything from the log via adb.
Any ideas?
I discovered it was one of my apps causing this. I removed it and it boots ok. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.realestate.app&hl=en

Thanks for the hint, it was a real estate app from germany (immoscout24) which caused the problem at my device. Deleted the base.apk and everything works fine again.
Happening to me now, ffs im on the latest nightly and thats not fixed it.

Mine just started boot looping yesterday, but I hadn't installed any new apps in a while, and I have automatic app updating turned off (I also don't have any real estate apps installed, German or otherwise). Any hints on how to track down the culprit? Is there a boot log to look at?
Thanks!
Folks, there is a defect open in the official lineage bug tracking system. please add your comments there - maybe this needs some more support to get looked at:
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1075
Same here. Started happening after it updated my apps yesterday. Removed nova launcher and all other Teslacoil software, problem remains. Can only start the tablet in Safe mode.
Seeing this on my device as well, except I am not able to remove the base.apk file because the app I installed somehow corrupted my bootloader such that I cannot get into recovery mode.
The culprit app? LinkedIn. Automatic app updates were turned off, and just before the bootloop started, the last thing I did was install that app. It finished, it rebooted, and hasn't stopped rebooting since.
When I put it into bootloader mode, it stops the continual rebooting and displays the "open panel" robot and "Downloading... do not turn off target". From there, all I can do is press power to start, then it goes back into rebooting. There is no way to get into recovery mode from there.
Also, attempting to keystroke into recovery mode just restarted the lineos infinite reboot.
Can't get into recovery, can't get the bootloader out of "Downloading" mode, and lineos continually reboots... Any wise sage souls have any ideas on this one? It looks like my device is bricked
It got me too - I don't have Nova Launcher installed. A few weeks ago the device started bootlooping with a build I had installed since september. I updated to one of the latest builds and had the same issue again. At the moment i got it working most of the time, but when i start certain apps it just reboots.
Seems to be independent to build version and can occur with different apps (at least thats what I've read here...).
Is this a Lineage Os 13 only thing or can I throw the device away now?
Greetings
I started having this issue this week as well. Oddly enough, I was still on CM12.1. In the middle of watching Plex and it rebooted, and has been boot-looping since. I did a factory wipe and while installing apps, it started looping again. I then installed the latest nightly of LOS13.1 and again, once it got part-way installing apps, it started boot-looping again. So this is not just a LineageOS thing, it seems to be an app update (I do have auto-update turned on).
I´m having the same problem without ever have the Nove Launcher installed. The bootloop started on my device several weeks ago. I tried to fix it by wipe partly or total and reinstall the latest nightly of los13 (20171126) and opengapps micro 27.11.2017 (and everything else).
As soon as I reinstall my apps, los goes back to bootloop. Sometimes, when I manually install only few apps, the system seems stable, until die next updates come by the play store.
So now I went back to stock rom until I´m getting aware of the problem beeing solved.
workaround, maybe
I wouldn'n call it a bootloop but rather a startloop
Anyhow, in my case I was able to break the loop by entering android's safe mode by simultaneously pressing vol up and down keys during startup. In safe mode, I was able to delete offending apps. After reboot, system is running again. Apps identified so far to make lineageos unhappy: open camera, yalp store, YouTube(!).., oruxmaps.
Removing offending apps works
Thank you!
I did the same with your advice... removed some apps and it works. I went back to September ROM, then update to Nov ASB ROM and it works fine.
ShevT is on it, here https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1052
and here: https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/197386/
Hope it gets fixed and merged soon... as this has been a pain the neck for a while, possibly related to a similar problem earlier this year.

I'm running CM13 and I have the same problem. I am not tech savvy with installing ROMs but managed to get to TWRP and did a reset to factory. Got part way thru optimising apps and the problem came back. I could only turn the tablet off via TWRP!
I don't mind going back to stock rom but not sure how to do it..best I look on here and start to educate myself..I'm 73yo so might not get finished before my time is up
Hey guys, so my phone has since day one run into an issue where whenever I go to update certain apps, my phone instantly reboots after downloading but before installing. Im on Nougat with Batstock V1.2.0 kernal and I am using Magisk v14.0. I have been googling around and all I have found is reference to booting into safe mode and uninstalling. One of the most prominent apps to give me trouble updating is chrome and I can only roll back the updates with that app. Even still the problem continues. I have factory reset a handful of times but whatever is causing the issue seems to persist from reset to reset.
As always I really appreciate the help!
After I applied a skin, it instantly crashed with a message saying "the system ui has stopped".
I can't get in to my phone. Only the always on display is available as of right now.
I have tried ejecting the sim, booting it in to safe mode.
My phone is not rooted and I don't plan on rooting it. I haven't registered bixby so I can't put it in to max power saving mode.
I don't know what adb shell is. Please can anyone help me save my phone? I am so desperate.
PLEASE HELP. MY PHONE IS A BRICK.
Can I save my phone without a factory reset?
I was on Oreo Beta.
Please help. Thank you
once in safe mode, see if you can disable substratum or perform a factory reset.
Ok dont panic i also had trouble after applying substratum, First my phone became very laggy and then apps stopped working with constant crashes. Eventually the phone became unusable. A factory reset solved the problem for me, if you cant get into the phone use samsung smart switch you should be able to reset it from there and try back up your data.
You could also try flashing a rom to see if this would help.
If you can't delete the overlays from safe mode then you'll have to perform a factory reset. The only other way I would assume is unfortunately uninstalling the overlay apks through adb but then you need to know the full name of the apks you want to delete. by using adb you could find the names of all installed apk but then again.. could be a reason to learn to use adb
Thread cleaned No need for rude comments guys Lets keep it on track....
