[Q] Launcher pro bricked my phone

Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.

First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?

Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x

Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.

If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.

Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.

Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!

No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.

I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks

a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

You used free version of launcherpro, right?

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.

idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

if that doesn't work you, and could open the browser type this in:
(it should download adw launcher)
bubiloop.com/download/org.adw.launcher
ps. my cousin had this problem and search for a solution and found it, just thought i would share since. xda always helps me out

Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

Is this assured to work with both LRX21M and LRX21V?

Worked perfectly, and now StickMount is working too. Just played a video off USB in XBMC.

Does anyone know a way to remove the su app from showing in the leanback launcher. Can't find it in the settings anywhere.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does this do exactly? ...aside from the obvious "gives you root"...I mean how, what does it do to the system?

Well be in next version, if you set icon to invisible, it will also disappear from leanback launcher.

Do you just download to phone or PC and put the extraction on the Nexus Player to gain root?

Are you referring to the launcher settings or SuperSU settings there should be an option in SuperSU settings to set the SuperSU icon to invisible.

I just happened to check my system today and had the OTA update from LRX21M to LRX21V waiting. I tried installing it but Recovery stopped halfway through the install with an Error. I got back into Android with a power-cycle, so things are fine, but it's still on 21M.
I'm guessing this was due to having rooted the device. Is there a proper way to remove SuperSU to allow for a system update? I see there are 3 different options for cleaning up; does it particularly matter which one I choose? I could just pick one and try it but I'm kind of curious what the differences are between the options. Anybody know?

Update: I tried the second and third cleanup options (new superuser app and full unroot) and neither got me into a state where the OTA was successful. So I just downloaded the factory image and flashed the system.img from it, then reapplied the original root process.

probably a full unroot and flashing the stock boot.img would fully unroot, I wonder when LRX22C (5.0.1) will hit the nexus player

The root is fundamental in all devices for many things, and thanks to Chainfire and others independent developers we can consider Android a semi-open platform. (semi-open because not all is open source)
We don't want Android like the Apple walled garden, but we are not even against the sale of the software, we just want a common garden in which the user can choose and is not obliged.
For example with the root, it was easier to start this project:
Nexus Player with a Full Version of Android Lollipop https://plus.google.com/103019026671039069038/posts/V5XaLxK3vN8
This is just the base rom with all hardware components working, on this base that is very usable, i want add many other options. like external usb webcam and mic, improving the audio part that have fixed volume and many other things useful for the use in TV.
Nexus Player is not just Android TV, but is the first Nexus device with an intel cpu. Is a milestone in the evolution of Android.
This is just the start and I am very open to sharing and collaboration on this project.
Thanks Chainfire for the root and for your "How-To SU" guidelines.

Out of interest will rooting prevent OTA updates from installing in the future?

I did this, despite the warning it gave me. Now although I still get permission dialogs etc, I can not run the main program to delete apps etc from SU access. Is there anyway to go back to the main screen? I went to the apps sections of the NP and unlike other apps it didnt have an open command.
To get it back do I need to uninstall and then re-CFroot?
Thanks. I should pay better attention to dialog boxes but its not a huge deal.

Hello guys. I have the Mi Max, the problem came when i root my phone, after rooting, i install a good app from playstore that gives you the opportunity to unistall system apps( always i know which apps i must unistall , like gmail, weather etc ) .. in this phone when i unistall some apps the phone after reboot get in to a loop .. and never opens.. that means i must flash again the rom .. makes me very nervous because with every phone i had i done the same but never i got bootloop from this .. please tell me what to do to prevent this bootloop next time .

For miui freeze is the same that uninstall, when some critical app from system don`t work make a conflict with system. One time same it happened to me, I went to folder data with TWRP and deleted file relative TB, then reboot normally.

of course, you have two types of apps by saying someway, from Google you can delete almost all except PlayServices, PlayStore and look at in your list of apps in setting most necessary have a simple icon of green android, not a special logo by i.e. PlayMusic, those apps don`t delete cause are neccesary to download, sync or other functions relative to PlayStore and in second place you have chinese apps, strangely those with chinese letters you can delete like reader, music, books, shopping but don`t delete micloud or yellow page. This app tell you what you can delete, just be careful, don`t sweeps with all..

But how many apps did you delete, you don't more that 4 or 5 from system, wich can uninstall normal don't make conflict. I was lookinkg at this app and it seems a little extremely, says that contacts provider could be uninstall, I think that not is good, don't follow it blindly, use common sense or things go bad. Solution: this app put deleted app in a folder in sdcard, go to recovery, go to files manager and put again certain apps on /system/apps, probably just 1 or 2 be necessary.

Excuse, I was so busy, sorry for recommend this app, it`s a shame, it`s incredibly what apps could uninstall according this app.
What I mean is that this app put deleted files in a folder with same name in sdcard, you can restore them going to recovery and putting them via adb in system again and setting necessary permissions to go on again for not to flash all the rom but probably you`re not familiar with that.
Now "borned" a new build 7.1.12 that it`s better than this version, I flashed it on my device and if you install via fastboot I tell you what apps I remove and I have no problem just that system every time you power on devices warns a security risk, just click understand and go on.
All the apps that you can remove normally from settings/downloaded apps can be deleted, and the next apps that I removed if you want; From /system/app; Chrome, Drive, Duo, MiDiscover, MiPlay..From /system/priv app; MiDrop. Mipub, MiuiHome (if you don`t like, just you must have other launcher), velvet, YellowPage and these that inttegrated with system but I don`t use; Google Photos, Music, Movies, then go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache

I disabled Hiboard made my default screen my second screen and put Google news and Google's search widget on my first screen similar to the Pixel's or OnePlus launchers. You could try something similar to this since Hiboard might pull their news from Chinese websites.

Well it doesnt crash anymore, but it doesnt pick it up when I hit check device, and when I hit uninstall it tells me the phone isnt in adb mode, which I presume adb bugging which it is, so I give up, I uninstalled all the Chinese apps using adb shell so if thats all this does, I already removed everything Chinese off the phone.

Plss can you put a new link with hiboard apk?

So.. Pie is here, but no new navigation bar?

Even in moto gestures or system gestures there is no option to enable.. I'm the only one?

i also didn't get the new navigation and got the notification about the system integrity is corrupted and cant able to get new updates. as i am on bootloader unlock

After this pie update here in UK , the phone lags a lot , it sucks.

motorola didnt put gestures. it is so unlikely that you have something missing withing your update. if you cant find the option, it means we dont have the option.
system integrity problem ain't a real thing.

Can it be rooted after this pie update ?

It comes with March update on pie. Got one button nav and digital wellbeing

Really? One Button Nav on G6 Play? I thought it'd never be implemented.
Edit: I wonder if it's possible to install One Button Nav without having to update, can anyone shine a light?

I got it with March patch. Jeter g6 play. But I imagine the rest will get it too. It's in Moto actions.

Is it possible to update while being rooted in a way it wouldn't require me to format my system? The OTA notifications have stopped now that i froze the Motorola Update Services but now they're glitched (as in they don't open anymore and keep force closing whenever i try to open it(Yes i unfrozen the services)) and i can't even see what update it was. Pretty sure it was march?

To update while rooted, you have to flash the full firmware package. Don't allow it to boot to system. While still in bootloader mode, re flash TWRP. Then boot to TWRP and proceed to root.

I would suggest that you factory reset your phone manually after the update. There is some kind of bug that retains system files and cache from the previous firmware version, Increasing the size it takes up on your internal storage and drastically reducing the speed and not to mention the countless other bugs that come with pie on the g6. Factory reset after the update works wonders

Thanks mate, if I'll do factory reset I'll loose everything on the phone !! ,I really don't want to loose all my stuff and accounts , unless you can you can suggest something to back it all up and restore them with a push of a button ,that would be great.

Google does most of it, contacts, apps, even photos, and you can try titanium backup. It works and you can restore it on a per app basis or all at once

nav bar pie by sesture
mmm i'm from chile and i don't speak english, but i will tray to make this...
I only can think in one solution, and root it's required with Magisk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-play/how-to/guide-t3929928
... after root, and using Magisk, proceed to flash "Pixelify" mod in downloads option, after reboot, change in Settings->System->Gestures->Swipe up on Home button, for new pie navbar
pd: if you don't like this mod after test, be carefull if you wanna uninstall pixelify, cause if you make this directly on Magisk options, your cell will bootloop, you must reinstall mod, this detect previous install and will proceed to uninstall automatically

Use Moto App for new gestures using fingerprint sensor. Not able to close recent apps.

As I was looking at the "Rest of Europe" Moto Support Site, I notice this: https://support.motorola.com/in/en/solution/MS141660
I guess they are doing a second roll out for some?
