It says 'carrier load service has stopped' and then 'carrier configure has stopped' pops up. It's brand new and I've only gone through the set up menu with it once before leaving it to charge.

  I'm having the exact same issue with my Lenovo Tab 10 TB-X103F. Setup was easy but it immediately updated Android and froze up on install. Factory reset is in Chinese and nothing says emmc. It's about to get sent back. It's useless now... To me anyways.

Nothing happening .My setting app is getting unfortunately stopped sl i cant open setting app not even able to use internet through BT and WiFi hotspot. And i also tried factory reset and wipe cache then also setting app is not opening at all .Is this because i rooted my phone and then unrooted it or because i removed busybox before unrooting?
