How to recover a broken environment in Termux NO ROOT
Hii Guys Welcome back you my new post in this post i will show you how to recover a broken environment in Termux
Let's go
What is the problem U can see
If Termux exits immediately after launch or cannot properly start shell, it is likely that your environment is broken. The cause of which is most likely a a fatal error in a dotfile read by your shell, which causes it to immediately exit. To recover from such errors Termux provides a Failsafe Session.
if you got like this problem so need follow this steps
1. Force STOP Termux application.

2. Either long-press the Termux launcher icon and then press "failsafe" (only works on recent android versions) or long-press the "new session" button in the left drawer inside the Termux app.
You are now in a Failsafe Session. It launches the default Shell of Android /system/bin/sh with access to the Termux directory. Despite the fact that Android shell is very limited, you can still save your files to /sdcard or perform some recovery steps.
Let's go Fix the Problem
If you don't know which dotfile is broken read the section about about
possible broken dotfiles below. It's most likely the one you tinkered with
the last. Once you have identified the broken dotfile, move it to a new
name. Example:
mv .profile .profile.bak
After This
Try to launch a normal session again. If it still doesn't work, you'll have to check the other dotfiles again.
Otherwise, since you now have access to your Termux programs again, you can edit the file with your text editor and fix the problem.
After that you can move the file back to it's original location.
Possible broken dotfile
- profile
- bash_profile
-
bashrc
For Zsh:
- profile
- bash_profile
chsh and set a broken shell
You used chsh to set your default shell to something that doesn't work as
a shell your environment will also be broken. In this case use the
Failsafe Session to remove
~/.termux/shell
and launch a new normal session.
rm -rf /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.termux/shell
The problem is not with the .dotfiles he problem isn't with your dotfiles,
you may have a broken
$PREFIX. This could have happened in various ways. Maybe there was a broken
update, something crashed at the wrong time or you messed around int
$PREFIX
yourself. In this case, the best option is to use the nuclear option.
Remove
$PREFIX
entirely.
rm -rf /data/data/com.termux/files/usr
iF aLL are steps are not working follow this
After that you can restart your Termux App completely
After that you can restart your Termux App completely, which will
trigger a reinstallation of the default
$PREFIX
contents. You'll have to
reinstall Termux app , but
your
$HOME
folder remains untouched, so all your dotfiles are still there.
