I am an idiot, help!!

I was playing around with profiles in Tasker. I made a profile for the phone to reboot at a designated time. I unfortunately did not indicate an end time. Now my phone keeps rebooting. I cant boot into safe mode because the phone starts the reboot before I can get into that function. What can I do? I have a galaxy nexus.

Take the battery out for a few seconds and then put it back in. Boot in safe mode (sounds like you know how) and uninstall Tasker.

If you already have a shortcut to Tasker on your home screen you should be able to open Tasker (while in safe mode) and disable that single profile, instead of uninstalling.

Sounds like a mistake the Tasker developers should have anticipated and included something to prevent it.

I tried to boot in safe mode but couldn't do it before the phone rebooted through tasked and I couldn't get adb working on my computer so I just wiped the drive. Won't make that mistake again. I didn't loose root though! Woot!

Sometimes giving too much freedom to users is not a good thing from a developer perspective. But then from users perspective, hey why you developers restrict what I am trying to do. But when users get into a mess, they expect developers to help them. Life as a developer is not a bed of roses isn't it?
