Hey all, I have a rooted LG Stylo G (MS631) running Marshmallow (T-Mobile Variant - installed before the metro Marsh was ready) and I super messed it up last night and I hope someone can help me.
So I was half asleep and touching things I shouldn't have been. I had a Disable-Service app installed and was looking for something. In my inattention I actually clicked on Android System, and un-checked an option in there. Something about backup is all that I can remember. I kept trying to get it to re-enable but it didn't seem to be doing it. What a major f/u eh? Ok so I can't remember how, if I did it or something else automatically, but the phone rebooted, and that was all she wrote.
Now the phone does ultimately try and boot, it acts like there was a refresh or something and goes to the preparing apps part where it's pre-compiling the apps for ART. It goes through them all (apparently 255 or so which I didn't realize) and then reboots and starts over again.
Now in the past I would have just hooked it back up and thrown on the OS again (mean to do that anyway so it has the Metro 6.0 as it has a slightly newer security update) and would have been golden. But my SD card (and the system itself, but I don't think that matters) are encrypted. So if I do just throw a new os on there, I believe I will lose access to all my files on there. I can reassemble them again but it would take time and I would like to avoid that.
So with my long winded explanation on here, I suppose it boils down to - is there some way to connect to it and slip under with adb or something and undo my f/u and re-enable that particular service? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for helping a moro who got himself into this stupidity
