Stuck in "loading" homescreen and apps
Good day.
I'm hoping to find a little help around here. I recently used WPInternals to unlock my Lumia 650, Windows 10, to extract some data. Everything went successful, flawlessly. Then, the last thing I remember, after rebooting my phone back to normal supposedly, all the apps seem to be non-responding, stuck in a "loading" loop. The phone itself is still working, as the phone boots up to the homescreen, and the notification area are still responsive. But when I try to access any of the apps, they won't open, stuck in loading, even the homescreen tiles don't load.
I was hoping not to go through the hard reset or the WDRT phase (because if I read it correctly, everything gets erased), as I'm still aiming to extract some more data from the phone.
The specific things I did are these:
- I am migrating to an android phone
- I began transferring my photos, files, documents, SMS to the new phone, with success
- Transferred my contacts through the cloud, but there was a catch (later on that)
- Now, when I was needing to migrate my Whatsapp messages, I learned that I had to unlock the phone to get the encrypted messages
- Used WPInternals for it and successfully got the messages.db for Whatsapp and successfully transferred the messages
- Now, (the catch from earlier) I noticed that my contacts are incomplete. The recent ones are missing, so I assumed they were not backed up to the cloud (as I searched everywhere on my accounts already). So I thought, I had to boot up my Lumia again and just try to extract them from there (either through the messages+contacts backup app, or just sync them to the cloud)
- Then, when I booted up my Lumia, there you had it, the problem.
- I can still change it to different modes through WPInternals, (flash, mass storage), without any problems and can see the folders in explorer, but the phone itself, again, doesn't load the apps, even settings, or whatever, so I can't do anything with it.
Things I tried numerous times already:
- enabling / disabling root access
- unlocking / relocking bootloader
- soft resets
So, it seems like there's something corrupt in there. And I was hoping someone knowledgeable about this can help me. This is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
