If you can get into theme customizer without a crash, you might also try the restore defaults option.

Indeed, Snap to Grid was really the failure. I thought that 0 would work because I thought i've set to 0 once, but no, it was 1.

Thanks for all your help guys, it's already fixed (managed to do it via xterm, i had a backup of the transitions file)

Moral of the story: Don't be stupid like me :p

Will disable R&D mode now.

Basically:
Code:

flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset
This should kill the watchdog, and you should be able to boot up fine and reverse the changes.

Thanks for your help.
I managed to get out of the mess I have and managed to back up everthing...

Never set snap to grid to 0 in transitions.ini, either with Theme Customizer or any other way
If you do, you'll find yourself into a big headache :D

I did the same mistake.

The problem is that I have no more USB port
to flash the device.
So my phone restart again and again.

Is there a way to solve this difficult situation...? :(
