| FIX | Setup Wizard Has Stopped Working

i am unable to even complete sim card setup after flashing asop 4.1, as soon as i hit set up as new, setup wizard has stopped appears and begin from language selection. please help me..!

I leave this here, as it may help someone :
After flashing Resurrection Remix v5.8.3, I had the same issue with the setup wizard. The method of the first post didn't work (clicking on home button would not do anything). I worked this out by simply connecting to a wi-fi network. Once you have internet access, wizard setup doesn't crash anymore.

Glad it helped. Sadly, I can't help you further with your reboot issue. Have you tried reinstalling the ROM ? You should go to the forum section dedicated to your device for more information.

Flashed Lineage OS nightlies 18-04 for Xiaomi MI5 and I get the same issue but there is only 1 setup wizard (without android logo) and I can't select permissions on the one that is available, any ideas?

Try connecting to a wi-fi network before going back to setup wizard.

setup wizard is not working phone is not rooted lex526 how should i flash new rom

can't pull down notification bar.
it keeps stopping on the screen where it asks to either "restore app & data backup" or "Set up as new"
as soon as i click on "set up as new" it crashes and when i click on "keep your apps & data" it present me another screen to ask to bring data from "google account" or from "iPhone or iPad device", clicking on any of those crashes the setup wizard.
and i can't pull notification panel anywhere.

I am using resurrection remix nightly kenzo latest till date, on a redmi note 3.

PS:long pressing the home button brings up the google search option. i can't pull notification in that screen either

it doesn't bring me the option to connect to wifi, now what ?

The bove instructionsdidn't work for me, but here's how I fixed this on my old Nexus 5:

1. Wiped out the System, Dalvik and Cache partitions
2. Installed the atest Cyanogen/LInage OS Nougat ROM
3. Installedd the latest Open Google Apps package
4. Wizard wrked like charm aftrwards

I managed to get it to work for me. The original post saying to pull down the notification shade but I couldn't manage to do that. Here's what I did:

1: Select the Accessibility option in the bottom right
2: Attempt to go back/home and enter the Google app
3: Search with Google for "Hidden Settings App"
4: Select "Hidden Settings" and log in with Google
5: Download and install that app with Google Play and open it
6: Select just Settings from the list
7: Connect to WiFi in the now-accessible Settings app
8: Go ALL THE WAY BACK and try Setup again

Hopefully this helps somebody, worked for me.

i could not get it to pull down the notification drawer at first, here is what i did:

1 , go thru the wizard again.
2, right after it crashes hurry pull down notification drawer
3, go into settintgs,
4, connect to a wifi (your wifi)
4, go all the way back and try again

Thanks for that! You definitely saved me, but not exactly by your steps. Here's what I did... ---As soon as it shows the app crashed message, i immediately tried to swipe down the notification drawer (this was hard, took a few attempts, but worked). Then i switched on the wifi there and then came back and hit the "setup as a fresh device" button (Unfortunately, the settings button was not even there. weird ). it then asked me to connect to the wifi since the wifi was now ON and thereafter it worked just fine---.

Absolutely lucky to see this post.

I was hoping the solution posted here would solve my problem as well, but it did not.

Clicking the "OK" on my "Setup Wizard" screen dismisses the box for 0.25ms. I have NO chance to click anything else or get to settings to Force Stop it.

Sigh.

Any other suggestions?

i dont know why but after doing this it works

ps: select restore from google account in setup wizard

Thank you! This savedmy phone. But after some frustrating tries, i skipped the connect Wifi-part. It was after wifi-connect it always
crashed for me.
When skiping this, i got through the setup without anymore problems. After finishing the setup, i connected my wifi :good:

thank you very much

Hey all, I've been dragged pillar to post with this issue...

I'm flashing latest lineage (this time for gtelwifiue - Sam Tab E) and micro gapps. About a month ago was able to do this flashing easily on Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (now deceased). But this time it went into the 'setup loop'.

Lots of questions popped into my head... did it have something to do with the (samsung required) odin flash of twrp? Was it a recent los build issue? Was there an open gapps issue? Why does connecting to wifi work for some and not others? Someone suggested boot recovery, mount 'system', delete lineage setupwizard directory (didn't work), etc etc etc.

/rant on
I kind of hate when people post things like "FIX!!!" and "SOLUTION!!!!" in headers about this issue. When really all they've done is found a work around, that worked for them. It hasn't been tested on other devices and they have no idea if it will work on other devices. And yet they don't hesitate to yell "FIX!!!!!!!!!"
/rant off

After researching bugs and issues on the open gapps site, the documentation makes it pretty clear that the issue is technically complicated one. It's deep in the bowels of the messaging systems (and deprecated systems) that are conflicting between ea other. It seems as though some modifications have changed *what* message gets set (when some part of set up is completed), without realizing which apps are looking for which message (i.e. how it might break something else). So essentially, there are conflicts between the ROM build and Open Gapps around these 'Messages'.

That's as far as I dug into it. I don't get paid to tear apart code anymore, and I'd like to actually have a life, before it's too late.

So after having tried all the 'work a rounds' people were calling "Fixes and Solutions", I stumbled upon a work a round that (I'd bet anyway) should work for everyone;

First: I have only tested this on my own device! But, the posts I read indicating it would work had used other devices (don't remember which ones, sorry).

And! the work a round fly's in the face of documentation of how to flash a rom we've probably all read. But, I'd become frustrated and decided to try it anyway...

1) Do the normal wiping etc, then flash the LOS rom.
2) Boot the ROM, skip the things the setup lets you skip.
3) Back to recovery and flash the Gapps.

Now boot again and all **should** be fine. It was for me (again, Sam Tab E).

** WHY ** does this sound like it should work? Because, as mentioned, the different 'setup wizards' aren't playing nice with ea other. And the real fix would be fixing that. But I'm sure there are some very intelligent people who have looked at that code, and it seems there's no simple fix.

So, if you've tried all the other SOLUTIONS!!!, and they didn't work for you, my bet is this will work. No guarantees from me though, caveat emptor.

Setup wizard gets started again

I tried force stop the SETUP Wizard and allowed permissions as you said. But after that its not going to Home screen after tapping home button. And if I press back, the setup wizard gets started again.
Please help me out.

Thanks.
