Hello everyone!
I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas. I noticed that my Huawei Watch recently started to show some errors saying "Unfortunately, Android Wear has stopped" and also the same but with Google Play Services. Some days ago it was appearing maybe once a day, but today started to appear every 20 seconds. Now, I restarted the watch and I attempted to do a factory reset and left the watch doing the reset some minutes.
When I looked back at the watch, I saw that everything was exactly the same, no reset was done. I tried doing it again, and then the error alerts now are appearing constantly, interrupting the factory reset. When I dismiss them, they come again immediately, I can only see the watchface for 1 second and I cannot even attempt to do a reset again (which might even fail again).
I don't know what happened but now my watch is contsantly showing these errors and even a force reboot is exactly the same. As soon as it reboots the error white screens appear as soon as it boots.
Is there a way to do this factory reset via the computer instead of the watch itself? I have read some posts and seems that factory reset fixes the initial not-so-frequent alerts, but now it is unmanageable. Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hello everyone! Don't know what happened, but I got lucky and after one reboot the messages kind of disappeared and I could do a factory reset. Seems everything is OK now

Glad it worked out well for you.
I've suddenly started having this issue ... and I've done a number of reboots and it still keeps crashing. When I do get the watch running again, it will run with regular crashes, and when I access the settings menu, the watch immediately restarts. This means that I can't get to the settings menu long enough to request a factory reset. Is there any way to do a hard (factory) reset without going through the menu? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can get into fastboot then from there you can get into recovery.
To get into fastboot
Phone must be powered down (which may be hard for you because you cant get to shut down menu...
Hold power / stem until it vibrates. Release then hold again. This should get you into fastboot.
Next press the stem button until you see reboot recovery. Now long press the stem.
Now you should be in recovery and there should be a factory reset option.
I was thinking you may have to let your watch battery die if you cannot get into the "settings" menu to power down. If you have to do that then you know when you connect the charger the phone will power on. Same rules apply when the phone is powering on from the charger...
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Stock galaxy nexus, ui force closed. Powered off. Can get into recovery mode to attempt to reinstall stock rom. It shows a droid with an opened chest, with a red triangle above it when I try to go to recovery mode from the odin screen.
Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to flash using a mac? I have limited access to a pc.
Thanks all.
This is the hspa version.

The android icon you're referring to sounds like the stock recovery. In order to flash a ROM (even stock) from recovery mode, you'll need to load a custom recovery. This requires the device to be unlocked.
Not very often a stock setup needs to be restored. Generally, with the stock setup, only the /data partition is wiped (revert to factory default) and the issues are cleared. Not sure why a stock setup would need to be restore.
If you're still going to pursue reloading the system, without access to the normal android mode, the best route will be using fastboot. This can be done on a mac and the fastboot commands should be the same.
Hope that helps get a start!
This happened me earlier. I was able to factory reset it, which, unfortunately really annoyed me because I hadn't saved a backup..
Before the "Google" logo shows up, press and hold the power button and the volume up and down buttons.
Then go into recovery mode using the volume buttons.
When it reboots, you get that Droid with the hazard sign (which I know you're at, but just for the sake of others who need help) all you have to do is hold down the power button and WHILE it's held, press the volume up or down button and move to "Factory Reset". When you hold down the power button and press the volume rocker, a little menu will appear. It should only take a few minutes then.
Hope this helps. Apparently this is a WiFi issue. I'll definitely be keeping backups as of now..
I left it off, plugged it back in for a couple of hours and it booted right up. Strange.
I'm wondering if it had anything to do with juice defender and its settings that take effect at a lower battery level? Its the only thing I can come up with. Never had a stock phone's ui force quit and not reboot. The battery was definitely up to 25% given the time it was initially charging, but maybe it was still interfering.
Well, now that she's running, time to get root, recovery, rom and rejoice.
Thanks for the replies, very much appreciated.

I had the exact same problem happen last night with UI crashing and then the getting stuck at the boot animation. I was desperately searching online, looking to find a solution that didn't involve rebooting to factory setting and came across this post and did exactly what you did and it WORKED, very strange, I really wanna know what caused that!!!!
I've had the same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. I received it on December 21st, with stock 4.0.1 build. No root or unlock attempt at any time. On January 2nd I experienced this problems (UI process crash, screen not responding, reboot and stuck in boot animation).
The only solution was to do a factory reset and start over.
On January 10th same problem, same solution. Second factory reset.
I got the 4.0.2 OTA just two days after that. I thought that would resolve the problem. The phone seemed more stable, with less FC's and no trace of the UI crash. Indeed it lasted long...
Exactly until January 24th when I picked up the phone and seemed in the sleep of dead. Removed the battery, restarted the phone... and stuck in the boot animation.
Do you have any advice? Should I return the phone? Aside from those specific problems I am quite happy with the SGN and Android 4 in general. And I use it quite a lot (I have a very long train commute) without other problems.
Again...
It happened again!!
I don't know what to do anymore, this is not a usable phone when I have to reinstall and reconfigure every 3 weeks.
I may have found the problem
Well, not me exactly, but this bug report seems to fit the problem and the charging workaround. Seems to be a problem the file used to store the battery stats and draw the charge graph.
It also fits my usage (I try not to charge it up until 100%).
I can't post links to the forum, the issue is id number 24518 which you can find in code.google.com/p/android/
I need a bit of help with a stock HTC One X. As of this morning it won't boot up. I have made no changes to the ROM, everything is stock.
Tried entering the recovery panel and turning fastboot on then restarting but every time the system stops at the "HTC One" page after making a startup sound. Sometimes the screen will go black and hitting the volume keys will bring up the volume changer but that is it.
There was no warning of an OTA update or anything like that.
When charging the screen stays on and dims, but stays on the "HTC One" screen.
Factory reset HOX and it booted, but next day same issues. This is 3 times I've had to factory reset now.
Every time I restart or cold boot it freezes on the "One X" screen.
This exact same thing has just happened to me! Just 10 minutes ago
I have no idea what to do.
I have not attempted root or anything like that everything is stock (Optus from allphones).
All I did was restart and now I cannot get into the phone.
I can get to those options (fastboot) by holding down the volume down button and the power button but restarting it or powering it off there does not help.
I havn't tried a factory reset yet as I'm scared about loosing all my data.
Can someone please help!
Please please
I'm suprised someone else is having the exact same issue what the hell is happening
Have you tried using the Recovery option from the Bootloader?
Yeah I tried that.
It didn't do anything. I've since done a factory reset. That worked but I've now lost everything
Now that's it's allw whiped I figure I might as well root it and install android revolution. I hope it's just a software thing and this will fix it.

Fair enough, if you're thinking of Rooting and installing ARHD etc then feel free to use my Guide : The Stock to Custom ROM Awesomeness guide
It'll take you from Stock to having ARHD on your phone ok

Took it into HTC last night and had the firmware flashed. No problems now... 12 hours with numerous restarts just to make sure.
It looks like it was a corruption in the software. I noticed HTC turned off the fast boot option before giving the phone back to me. Took 30 minutes in total.
If it happens again, try to hold the power button and the "Homepage" button at the same time. You should see a grey box saying "Continue holding to restart".
Thats a full restart rather than a shell restart.
That may help.
So, after being rooted for a bit, i decided to do some things that ultimately messed up my phone a bit. so instead of trying the numerous fixes for the problem, i decided to do a factory restore. it goes off fine, and brings me to the setup. i connect to my wifi and now its searching for updates. i figured it would take a bit so i went off and did some other things while the phone was on my desk. now about an hour and a half later its still checking for updates. my only options is to go back, which yields no other options, or to skip, but the skip is greyed out and i cant press it. so im stuck in the software update screen while it forever checks for updates and i cant get out of it. Ive restarted a few times and also shut it off for a bit, but still its stuck on this screen.

*UPDATE* Still cant do anything... ive booted into recovery and factory reset, cleared cache, and all that and still nothing... i cant get to the home screen or any other screen other than the one that says "checking for updates". if i dont turn wifi on and then continue, all it says is "Just a sec..." and stays on that forever. If anyone has any suggestions please leave them here i dont have a backup phone and need this fixed asap thank you.
I reflashed root file but I'm not sure if factory wipe has taken the file off your internal sdcard but yeah, i just reflashed the system file. Best of skills

So I feel like this is different from a typical bootloop (certainly different from ones I've had in the past). Any ideas short of factory reset would be very much appreciated. I just need it to load once more to do a Titanium Backup (and I guess I should install TWRP and do a nandroid backup)!
I've been using my Tab Pro for years now, rooted, works perfectly, and I always leave it on. I thought yesterday, perhaps this is a bad idea, I should turn it off every once in a while. But I wanted to play a game before I did. I click the game icon and then everything froze and it restarted itself.
It gets stuck at the SAMSUNG logo page. Sounds like a typical bootloop. After 20 minutes of waiting, nothing changes, so I hold down the power button and it restarts and actually loads to my home screen! Great! I swipe the screen lock, click on my game -- it restarts, rinse, repeat. Each time it restarts itself it stops at the SAMSUNG page, forcing a second manual reboot that fully loads, but doesn't go 10 seconds before restarting. I try to load different things each time and finally give up.
So I look some stuff up online. There's a suggestion to go into recovery (I could've sworn I had custom, but apparently not?) and "Wipe Cache/Partition." I look up that this is safe and do it (Sidenote: Power+Home+Vol Up only works around every 5th try or so. It glitches out every other time, there's a quick flash and a horizontal line and it restarts again). Now I restart and it worked! It loads and no reboot!
But now, a third of my apps/games have the android guy as an icon and even more of the real icons are all grayed out. I figure one more restart and it would come back. Now I'm back into my weird bootloop. I try wiping cache/partition again and again and it no longer works as a solution...
TL;DR - Tablet keeps restarting to SAMSUNG logo, requires 2nd manual restart. Home screen loads, but then restarts 10 seconds later. Clearing cache/partition made things worse. HALP!
EDIT: My current build is KOT49H.T520XXUANAE. I can't even find the stock ROM for this! Does it exist?
EDIT 2: After letting it charge for an hour (it was already 93%) I went back to it and it had loaded! But the home screen was blank save for the Google search and the Apps icon (which found no apps....). I was able to get into settings and attempted to click Application Manager and then it froze again.
Update: Still in need of help if anyone has any. A wonderful person on the forums linked me to my stock ROM, I pushed that through ODIN, it worked and did the "Android is Updating App XX of 200" thing.
It loaded and didn't crash! Most of the icons came back, but were still grayed out (I have a second partition via Link2SD which, when not rooted, doesn't load!)
So I went to Settings to see if USB debugging was enabled... and it froze. Kind of. It let me bring up the task bar and close settings, but not reload anything. Eventually I was forced to restart because I couldn't do anything. I tried booting into safe mode and still nothing.
Now when it loads, I get repeated "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped working." and then the touch screen stops functioning and it restarts. I'm having a great day.

Few of this probs I did have too.
I would recommend to start from scratch and wipe also your data and sd-card (with TWRP). Install either stock or Custom, but put out your sdcard before re-booting.
Just play around and after that (with no probs hopefully) insert it again.

I appreciate the response, but as I said, I'm looking for anything shy of factory reset. If I lose all of my apps and data and configuration, I might as well throw out the tablet and buy a new one.
Still trying to figure out the pattern. I got another attempt of it not restarting for 10 full minutes. The keyboard failing is annoying because it doesn't stop, but I can live with it if it means being able to backup my tablet with Titanium Backup. I only got 6 apps backed up before it froze, but I'll get through all of them eventually (I hope). It's just going to be incredibly frustrating.
I recently bought a new device and decided to give my HTC U11 EYES to my sister-in-law. So I did a factory reset through the recovery mode (rather than through the Android settings). Now the phone refuses to proceed through initial setup. I can get to the Welcome screen where I choose the language, then it asks me to connect to a WiFi network (which it does successfully, and I have to do so otherwise the "Next" button is grayed out), then it goes to a screen that says "Checking for updates, this may take a minute or two" and it just sits there forever. It never progresses beyond that. There's no "Skip" option anywhere, there's no EULA to agree to, and the WiFi icon shows all kinds of constant activity. But the setup never progresses beyond that update screen. I tried leaving it on overnight, it's been 10 hours. Still nothing. I tried doing another factory reset, same result.
I've owned two of these devices and never had an issue doing initial setup before, but I've never done a factory reset on either of them before. Normally a factory reset is supposed to SOLVE problems, not cause them. I have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it. I've been unable to find an original RUU that successfully flashes to the device.
try to wipe the cashe
Go again to download mode by pressing power and volume down together, then check for wipe Cashe drive
And you can try again factory rest later after restart
