Android Central Question

Hello I had a Lenovo k6 note that came on default with an Android 6 and at some point I got the setup wizard bug which the phone would disable these stuff that are disabled when the setup wizard is running
1- notification bar won't get pulled+ no notifications are showing
2- recent and home buttons don't work
3- developer options won't appear after tapping the build number 7 times
4- can't switch to guest user
5- can't access my clipboard on Gboard
And many other stuff that are disabled when setup wizard is running when a phone is being setup
There was a solution with the Nova launcher where I can open the setupwizard through widgets

The solution worked perfectly

However a few months later I updated my phone to android 7

And while I was playing my phone overheated and rebooted itself

And then when it opened
The bug happened again

But with Android 7
The Nova launcher solution won't work
And I can't open the setupwizard through adb because I can't access the developer options

Any solutions?
 
Welcome to Android Central! Does it still happen in Safe Mode? https://www.hardreset.info/devices/lenovo/lenovo-k6-note/safe-mode/

Side note -- that's a 5 year old phone running an outdated Android version. I would strongly recommend upgrading to a more recent phone running a more current Android version for security's sake.

My guess is corrupt firmware or failing hardware. I would say the same thing as before -- if it's a really old device, best not to continue using it as one of your regular devices for security reasons.
