MacroDroid Stuck in a boot loop, help !

[Golem64]

Hello, it's been 3 days now since MacroDroid is stuck and cannot open properly.
Basically when i open it, it just spams the accessibility required notifications and stays on the black opening screen forever, then after a while it doesn't respond and starts spamming the notifications again.
It started after i watched Netflix i think : the thing that caused that is the music player trigger as from the android report, i think my shitty phone ran out of ram and MacroDroid was just closed repetitively in the background while I was watching.
But still ! It's been 3 days and it hasn't fixed itself : i have tried everything, rebooting, cleaning cache and forced kill, even adding back the accessibility permissions doesn't work !
I don't want to uninstall it because I'm not sure of my backups and i don't want to lose anything.
Can someone help me please ? Thanks !

Try to disable MD in your system settings, reboot and enable it again, might work

If that don't work, check the date of your last backup, then consider a uninstall and reinstall again

I'm wondering if it will let you inject a macro that backup your macros and disable MacroDroid from another device

Yeah if we can somehow get a macro like that in MacroDroid, it should work :



Also, have you tried booting in safe mode? Or quickly go in MacroDroid after reboot? I had a similar problem a little after installing Macrodroid, and I asked on the forum, for me, quickly going in MacroDroid after reboot worked fine and I could disable it.

Disabling apps is only for system apps, i can't do that

Opening a macro file is just opening MacroDroid and continuing the notification spam

I don't know how to enter safe mode, besides i don't think that'll solve my problem since it just spams the notification when you start it, even at the very start of the phone. It's just stuck

 

[Endercraft]

it just spams the notification when you start

Maybe you can... disable notifications then.

I don't know what phone you got, but I can disable run at startup for MD (and other) in settings

Maybe @Golem64 meant that it starts when launching MD ?

Disabling notification doesn't work I've tried already, it just hides them that's it : the app is still buggy in the background

I can disable auto startup yeah but that won't change anything either, as soon as I open the app myself it does the same thing

Why not reverse the steps at dontkillmyapp.com. Also, you may be able to do ADB backup

 

[Endercraft]

If you are have a pro version and have enabled cloud backup you can safely uninstall MD and reinstall it.

I think that'll just make it worse

If you don't have a backup and don't want to do an uninstall/reinstall, it might be a little hard to solve the problem, but this might help

It requires "SetEdit" or something similar with permission to read/write system settings
Reboot your phone without MD launched, go to your settings and disable notifications from MD
Open SetEdit, go to enabled_accessibility_services in secure settings, take a copy of the value just to be shure
Now you can delete everything witch has something to do with MD
or
just delete it all, that will probably affect other apps

Reboot and try to open MD and see what happens, if it works
EDIT
Disable all your macro's, grant permissions again and enable macro's one by one to find out what is the reason of the issue
And if it don't, I think your only option is uninstall

 

[Jacob L]

You could put MacroDroid on a new device or another profile on the phone-sign in to check if Theresa recent cloud backup. However, if you restore the backup, unless you create a catch to prevent the crash then you're going to be in the same predicament
