freakin out a bit
okay so, on my pc right now cuz my phone js shat itself and i need heeelpp.
bit of context cuz youll probably need it, i have no idea what im doing
i have a TCL T779W, was writing in the local notes app when it froze. turned it off and then turned it back on by just using the power button and when i came back there were a few errors along the lines of "android....." has stopped working with the wait and close app options. im not sure what they were, but my widgets and the notes app both stopped working at the same time.
as far as im aware theres been no recent software updates but i think it might be possible, my phone was fine all day until now. maybe it was my keyboard..but idk. im dumb i dont know lol
okay the actual issue:
i tried restarting it to see if it would fix itself but now its boot looping and ive already tried tapping and seeing if something mightve gotten loose...no luck so far, but ill keep trying 😭
i got into recovery mode and its not giving me a whole lot of options like i t should, right?..
it only says reboot system now, factory reset, or power off. theres an error at the bottom that says
E: failed to clear the BCB message: failed to fsync /dev/block/by-name/misc: I/O error
really hope my phone is able to be saved, im pretty sure the notes app is only local save and i dont want to lose all the things i have on it, pleas e help mee 😭 thats the only reason i care a lot. otherwise i wouldve just factory reset it 🥲
