How do I fix the error Android setup keeps stopping?

I’m stuck in a loop during a factory reset because Android setup keeps stopping. Has anyone found a workaround for this?

Most of the time, this is caused by a corrupted cache or an interrupted installation. The first thing to do is to restart your phone. If that doesn't help, you can clear cache/data by going to Settings > Apps > Android Setup/Android Setup Wizard > Storage, and then reboot. Also, ensure that Google Play Services is up to date. If the problem persists, you can try booting the phone in safe mode or, as a last resort, do a factory reset.

Go to Settings → Apps → Android Setup, then Clear Cache and Clear Data. Restart your device. If it persists, update or reinstall system apps.

How do I fix the error Android setup keeps stopping? I'm stuck in a loop during a factory reset because Android setup keeps stopping. I have attempted re-booting the machine on numerous occasions yet each time I get to the WiFi screen, the message appears. It does not allow me to complete the first setup process and access the home screen. Have you discovered any workaround to this or a particular setting that does not trigger a crash?

This occurred to me last week and the only thing that proved successful was not connecting the WiFi at all at the beginning. If you don't connect to a network the Android setup keeps stopping error usually doesn't trigger because it isn't trying to check for updates.

Have you attempted to reboot the phone through the recovery menu and clear the cache partition? Usually when Android setup keeps stopping it is because of some leftover junk files from the previous version of the OS that didn't get wiped properly during the reset.

Simply turn a blind eye to the prompts and do not even input your Google account until you are at the real home page. I found that the Android setup keeps stopping loop happens mostly when it tries to sync your cloud backup before the phone is fully ready.

Attempt to remove the SIM card before switching on the phone. Sometimes the cellular data activation interferes with the process and results in the Android setup keeps stopping message appearing over and over.

You might need to re-flash the original firmware using a computer if the Android setup keeps stopping error is persistent. It is as though your system partition can be a little bit corrupted that cannot be easily remedied by a normal factory reset.

See whether there can be an accessibility shortcut or a button of vision settings on the first hello screen. Sometimes opening those menus and then going back can break the loop where Android setup keeps stopping and let you proceed.

Most likely it is a bug in the version of Google Play Services that you have in your factory build. If you can get to the screen where it asks for permissions try toggling everything off so the Android setup keeps stopping error doesn't have a reason to pop up.

I simply kept on clicking on the close app button in a quick succession and at some point it allowed me to just keep on clicking on the next button after the error window. It is annoying but that is how I got past the Android setup keeps stopping screen on my old tablet.

Ensure that the phone is charging in a charger as you do this. If the battery is low or the processor is throttling it can cause system apps to crash and you will see Android setup keeps stopping until it has enough power to finish.
