Tried updating NFC Service via APKMirror and NFC isn't showing up

[mike489]

Every time I held an NFC card to the back of the phone, I kept getting "NFC Services has stopped". I tried different things, including updating the app on APKMirror. This sent NFC services into a loop of it crashing and then I got message saying factory resetting, so I shut down the phone (vol+pwr buttons) and wiped cache. I rebooted and now NFC is not an option in the settings. Any way to fix this? I'm on the latest October update rooted. Would I be able to reinstall the OTA without losing everything?

I'd flash the factory image with the -w removed from the batch file. You won't lose data that way
