I have an android smart box c968s rk3188 the other day the telly was playing up and I had to power it down by switching the mains plug off, now however my android box won't let me into settings also chrome, google maps and launcher 3 all say they have unfortunately stopped working when I reboot the box. Will pressing the reset button fix this? or will this mean I need an android image?

I've googled plenty, but most advise going into settings(which I now can't do) and clearing cache ans data of the affected apps.
 
When you use the toothpick method to factory reset the box does it not give you the option to clear the cache/data without factory resetting ?
 
I've not tried it @bigbadblue05 as I've never done it before, and at least at the moment kodi works and most of the other apps. Not being able to get in settings is annoying though.

I would try the toothpick mate and see if it brings up the clear cache/data and try that,worst case scenario a factory reset will wipe the lot and box will go back to the way it was when you purchased it.
 
It didn't seem to do anything, I'll hunt down the instructions tomorrow to see if it has to be done a certain way.
App installer allowed me to access my apps, but not clear cache and data, is there not another program that does this bar settings?
 
I always back my data up so if I have to factory reset I can just restore everything that I had previously installed. I also delete data cache periodically as this builds up over time.
 
Lol

Tried that @idrob thanks, unfortunately it does not work with mine, but although it uses the same chip it looks different and wasn't bought from entertainmentbox, mine just hangs and won't power on when I tried, had to pull the plug again.

You may need to try several times @sneaker. I have messed with cheaper boxs in the past for friends and they have needed several attempts. Hold the reset button in power on and keep the reset button pressed until in goes into reset mode.

I thought I would update this thread, I managed to get My box working again, once I found the rktool and drivers. I then used an ebox image so thanks @idrob, and now My settings are back and some nice ebox apps.:jumpinghappy2:
