Joe Bowser resolved CB-10705.
-----------------------------
    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

I can't reproduce this on the latest version of Cordova.  It appears that you're using a very old version of Cordova, and that may be why you're experiencing this problem.

>                 Key: CB-10705
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10705
>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
>         Environment: android 4.4.4 using cordova 6 
>            Reporter: Grayson Kleine
>              Labels: triaged

> The issue is that when you have the an error page set to be displayed in the cordova config xml and you get an error and the user is on that page the backbutton hardware key will not work anymore.
> This is how to reproduce the issue.
> Preparation:
> You need atleast 2 page one normal page and 1 error page
> Turn off the wifi (so you will get error -2 (easy to test and reproduce))
> One page 1
> The a link on page one to google or some other site.
> Add a listener to the backbutton event (js) with something like alert('1') or console.log('1').
> One the error page
> Add a listener to the backbutton event, again set the function to do something that you can easily see like an alert.
> Compile and start the application in android.
> Execution:
> On the first page click the hardware back button, you should see an alert if you have set the function to display an alert.
> Now press the link
> You should now be on the error page
> Press the hardware back button, nothing happens.
> Issue and Solution:
> After some debugging I found out wat was going on:
> When an error page should be displayed the function loadUrlIntoView in the CordovaWebViewImpl class will be called. In normal page navigation the pluginManager is not reinitialized by the CordovaWebViewImpl but that is something that happens when an error page is displayed. The problem here is that while the pluginManager was reinitialized the variable hold the reference to the CoreAndroid object was not. Meaning that after the initialization  CordovaWebViewImpl would try to fire js events using the wrong reference to the core plugin (CoreAndroid). 
> So the solution in here is to set appPlugin = null just before the pluginManager is reinitialized.
> If this is accepted as a bug and my proposed change is accepted  I would like to make a pull request my self.
