Fc 99% of the time

For the past 5 months I have been using cm7 with no problems. But in the last month or so problems have been slowly coming up. It started with phone freezes then it slowed down greatly, then I got fc on EVERY APP! So then I switched to synergy hoping to fix the problems but there still there. I need help quick because I can't even make calls with out it freezing.

have you wiped everything (data, cache, dalvik) in recovery BEFORE flashing?

I just went through the same thing with the stock rom (rooted without the verizon crapware).. Had it since Day 1 of availability.. then a few days ago.. force closing all the time..
Even when switching roms. Even when NOT restoring with titanium.. Did everything fresh (ugh.. you have no idea how many hours).... and photos were disappearing from it
My first thoughts were "frak... I really screwed up something" (my niece dropped in on the floor a few days earlier.)
Then the IT in me decided to fall back on my experience. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid).....
If even changing roms didn't fix it.. what did everything have in common? The SD Card.
So I formatted the card making sure to take everything off I needed. Put it back in.. and put a fresh rom on.
No problems since. I'm guessing the file system of the SD card went a little wonky after a year of putting files on.. taking off.. putting on.. etc

Yep I cleared everything, data, cache
D cache and batt stats. Im going to try the SD card thing right now

Just gonna throw this out there. Try also formatting /system in the "mounts and storage" menu.

So far so good. The SD trick worked. But I want to put my titanium backup folder back on my SD card to get my apps back but I am not sure if that was the problem.
Also about the format /system l, I was thinking about that too. But if I can't get things working in the end I will format the system, data and cache.

Glad it worked.. after 3 very frustrating days for me and trying multiple roms and losing a few pics... glad I was able to at least past the info on to someone else

I am having this problem now with apps that are not installed on my SD card (which I just upgraded to larger size). All the Google apps are fc and some other ones here and there.
Were the fc apps all installed on SD?
I was thinking about a fresh gapps flash but may try the SD card first.

Glad I found this thread! I've been having same problem and couldn't figure out if it was a rogue app or not. It seemed like right after I flashed a new rom it would run great but after a few days I would start having trouble and eventually I'd have to flash another new one or try same one again.
I have a question though....I know most things on sd card are ok to delete since any app will put new folder on there if it needs to (obviously keeps pics, titanium backups, rom backups etc.)
But I don't have a way of formatting the sdcard OUTside of the phone. I don't have a card reader on my computer. Would it be ok to do this while the phone is plugged in? (something tells me no but...)
My only other option would be to put the sdcard in my old HTC ozone and try it that way...

You can just plug your phone into your PC, mount your SD card and reformat it that way. It works for me.

This ^^
OR
Random thought
You can try to repair the SD card before you format( if the repair doesn't work). Mount SD card to the computer via usb. Right click, properties, tools tab. Run error check. Just like a computer files get corrupted.

Phone is randomly rebooting on phantom hacker blazer rom v 3.2

My phone was running great for about a week with this rom but today it has shut itself off twice. I am also using the ics theme. Any ideas as to why its doing this all of the sudden? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

First off are you undervolting? Secondly if you have an issue like this it can be the cause of a few things. Did you restore data with Titanium Backup?
Also, even though it may not be specific to this rom if you do a search on here or google for random reboots you may find solutions that others have had. I understand the rom may not be the same but quite honestly this is a semi-common issue with custom roms and this question has been asked quite often.
Good luck and when in doubt wipe/format all and just load the rom and run it for a few hours without any apps

Did you put that theme over a stock rom?
odexed?

I put it over the blazer rom which it was made for. I cleared delvic cache and cache partition and it hasnt rebooted since and that was hours ago. Is that something you should do every once in a while to keep it running good?

Also no I am not undervolting or overclocking or anything like that. All system settings are default.

Well I thought everything was ok with the phone but it is restarting again! I am getting really frustrated I love this phone but I dont know how much more of its bull**** I can take! I am getting ready to throw the ****ing thing out the window! How would I know if I am undervoltin or anything like that? I did not mess with any system settings when I installed the rom.

I did not do a full factory wipe because in the directions he said to just flash the blazer rom 2.0 then a modified calkulins wipe then flash the 3.2 He said no data wipe was required.

Hey I was just wondering could this be caused by a faulty sd card? I noticed yesterday that when I went to access my sd card it was unavailable. Could the sd card bieng faulty cause a system crash that would lead to a reboot? I do have some apps installed on the sd card.

If you really want to fix your issue you have to troubleshoot to death. Do it all, format sdcard, do a clean install and anything else you can think of. Thats the best way to troubleshoot. Just nandroid your setup now and use TB to save data and go for it....
Don't worry bout asking us since a response may not come fast enough so just jump right in and get your phone up to speed. Or your can odin a stock EL26/13/30 rom..

Nandroid complications?

For the record, running amon ra 3.0.7...(I forget exact version, it's blue and uses capacitive back button) and I wiped everything 3 times before flashing the following ROMs.
Ok so the other night I went ahead and tried Deck's ICS ROM alpha 5. For the most part, a very beautiful port and can't wait till it stabilizes a little more. I can tell It's going to be a beast. But prior to flashing, I did a full nandroid like I always do, and TB backup. Flashed said ROM, tried to restore apps, few complications; couldn't restore games, certain apps such as zedge, or maps. Had to install from market because it would hang, but still restored data upon install. Figured this was due to the ROM having bugs....
Albeit beautiful, couldn't live without calendar, and certain apps wouldn't work. So I restored my decks 1.3d nandroid and instantly got hit with problems. Half my apps showed as properly installed, half of those actually worked without FC'ing. Downloaded maps cuz again couldn't restore, and instantly FC. So I reboot, and get constant FC's from random apps. So I wipe again, this time everything beside sd 4 times, still same problems. So since I wasn't on wifi to pull the ROM I uploaded to Dropbox, I simply did factory reset. TB now restored fine besides games which still puzzles me, but maps went fine.
I've had similar problems with Nandroid in the past. The only use I seem to get is just maintaining the ROM, everything else is fubar.
What is causing this? Is there a fix? Is it simply a pebkac? (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair)

I use that version and flash a lot. I've never had anything like that happen. Are you wiping everything except bat stats and SD? Did you try and fix permisissions? Do u run an ext3 or ext4 partition? Could there possibly be a problem with your SD card. Perhaps back everything on it up reformat and partition and restore your stuff to it. Maybe you could run a disk diagnosis program on your computer to see if there are physical errors?
Just a few suggestions

Haven't tried fixed permissions as I just factory reset from in the ROM itself and restored apps as if a fresh ROM, but I will next time issue arises. I have no partition, but have considered doing so but keep putting it off. Been wanting to format my card and one by one out things back on it, but yeah, I wipe everything but bat, unless full, and sd. But I have noticed this issue usually only arises when I have already done a full wipe of everything and try to flash back. If I were to just flash over my current ROM, then restore back, everything works fine....kinda confused...

[Q] E4GT FI27 Boot Loop

If I'm posting this in the wrong place I apologize in advance. I'm also a bit freaked out since my phone seems to be kaput right now, but I have faith this is fixable. I need some of you professionals to give me your advice on how to go about fixing this.
Okay here we go...
I have in the past rooted my phone without any major issues by just reading this awesome site. I recently used "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_NoData" to root my phone using the one click method and everything was working fine. I realize now that I should have backed up all of my user data on the phone prior to updating to ICS from Gingerbread.
So, I think I made a newbie mistake by actually using Titanium Backup Pro (updated to latest version) to restore 1 file called wallpaper from the date 03/2012 (March 2012) which was when my phone was using Gingerbread 2.3.4 I think. I remember hitting the restore button and getting an option to restore only the data, so I chose this and a notification said, "Reboot phone for changes to take effect". Once the phone rebooted I unlock the screen and see the wallpaper I had from earlier this year. Now, I think the main problem is that I'm now using Ice Cream Sandwhich 4.0.4 and restoring the wallpaper from Gingerbread 2.3.4 has caused some underlying issues which is causing my phone to constantly reboot.
I went to the Sprint store and explained the issue and the Sprint representative said my phone needed to be reset because it seems to be glitching out. I informed him that I had files on my phone that I wanted to try to backup to my computer before I completely wipe the phone. Now, I'm home and I'm trying to get my phone to pop up in Windows 7 x64. I keep getting USB connection errors while connecting my phone to my PC because the phone keeps constantly rebooting while the drivers are trying to install then as soon as the phone reboots the driver installation fails.
USB Device Not Recognized
SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device failed installation
So I've tried uninstalling Samsung Kies and the USB drivers and then re-installing them and rebooting. Still no joy because my phone keeps constantly rebooting. It is never going to complete installing because the phone is completely unstable at this point in time. Further research led me to updating the MTP from Microsoft. After installing this I rebooted. Problem is I'm still getting connection issues while trying to connect my Epic 4G Touch to my PC because the drivers are not able to install because of the constant reboots, even though they were installed previously. This is how I was able to root my phone to begin with.
So basically what I'm trying to do is backup my files on my phone to my computer (which it now may be too late) before I just completely reflash a fresh ROM (Full Restore on FI27) and start over from scratch.
I had the idea of actually reapplying "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_NoData" to hopefully reset the kernel so I could backup my phone to my computer. This hasn't resulted in any changes whatsoever either. I'm completely stumped and would really appreciate some wisdom here.
I hope all of this makes sense and I hope someone out there is nice enough to take a little time to point me in the right direction.

I have just placed the phone in download mode with the idea of re-downloading "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Kernel" and USB drivers have been installed successfully.
Nice to see this thread is getting some views, but no one has any advice to give me?

What files on your phone do you need?

I just got the Phone to show up in Windows Explorer by plugging in the USB cable right when the Yellow 4G came up and I was browsing the phone and I noticed the SD Card was not showing up, but before long the phone rebooted and I'm still trying to access the phone but the damn thing keeps rebooting constantly.
I'm just trying to backup photos I don't have backed up anywhere else. Other than that I'm hoping I can do a full restore using "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore" and that will at least get my phone back to operating normally right?

Just go into the recovery menu and do a factory reset. It won't format your SD card.

m4xwellmurd3r thanks for the advice.
I got impatient and went ahead and flashed "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore" and my phone is back to operating normally. My SD card is still intact as well! What is really surprising is the fact that the pictures that were on my phone are still there. I don't understand, I obviously did something wrong. Also no longer having USB connection issues so that is a big relief as well!
Of course all the applications I had installed are no longer present, but why are my pictures still intact after using a Rooted Restore.
I want to completely wipe my phone and then create a backup with Titanium Backup and call it Stock_Version#. Then after I root the phone and get everything setup the way I like it I want to create another backup called something else. Is this the correct way to go about doing this?

Because none of your storage gets wiped by factory resets. Resets only affect the rom portion of your phone not storage. Glad you got it working
By the way rooted restore already wiped everything on your phone and rooted it so you're good to go

Really? Okay, so I shouldn't see any empty folders for apps I no longer use?
I swear everytime I start looking at the folders in my phone I see things I don't recognize and it just bothers me. This is one reason I wanted to reset my phone and start over fresh.
Also is there a good tutorial for using Titanium Backup?

Any folders made on the SD card and internal storage will remain since factory resets won't touch the data, even if the app is gone

So when you install an app just to test it out then you un-install it remnants of that app are still left behind. This I have to say I don't like. There has to be a better way to keep the file structure free from accumulating garbage. Is there a better way or not?

You could always delete the /data contents for the APK but not if it's in android.secure.... you won't know what is what in there.

@garwynn - What is the difference between SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore.exe, and SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore_v2.exe?
Also I want to completely reset my phone now that I have everything backed up to my PC that I care about. So do I need to do a factory reset on the phone and then flash one of the files above?
The plan is to get a fresh start and use Titanium Backup like I should have been doing from the start!

No, you do not need to factory reset when you use an Odin one click.

Lol. So your google account settings remained? You didn't have to setup anything?? If that's the case, either it was the no data version or it didn't flash.
And if you're taking about formatting the usb storage, like blues said in the other thread you asked, it doesn't format it.
But feel free to get other opinions.
:edit: And the only way I'd ever suggest to "factory reset" from the privacy menu, would be to use a gb build. But don't take my word for it, read the brick bug thread.

I'm just getting confused here I think your right. So basically if I do a factory reset via the settings menu, that will reset everything but keep the same model FI27. Then all I'll need to do is reflash the SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore.exe, right?

See my edit above. I'll never suggest using that option with an ics build at this time.
Now, having said that, i have done it but with the brick bug, that choice is yours.
What i try to do is just format the drives (both internal and external) when connected to my laptop then power off, then use a one click.
Safe method - use a gb one click, factory reset via privacy option in settings and format usb, then use the fi27 one click.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2

Okay tell me I understand this correctly.
Format both internal/external drives via settings > privacy > Factory data reset (this does not touch the SD Card, right?) while USB cable connected.
Power off phone and boot into download mode, then flash a "Stock Gingerbread Rom" (matching the model #, will it still be FI27 or not?) then at this point if I'm still on FI27 all I'll need to do is reflash "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Restore" to regain root.
If after doing a factory reset and flashing a stock gingerbread rom I may have to wait for updates to be pushed to my phone, or not?

[Q] unfortunately the process android.process.XXX has stopped

So I'm having a problem I can't seem to fix.
I'm rooted, have been running the stock everything but with a few tweaks and some bloat removed. Everything works great but I am hoping to improve battery life. So I researched a few ROMs and pick a couple to try. I can flash them just fine with no problems, get all my apps back and set up with no problems. and I can use the phone all day just like normal.
Now the problem: if ever I have to restart for some reason, or even after I make a nandroid back up, when it restarts and boots up I eventually get several messages where processes are one by one stopping. until the phone is useless and froze up.
So it goes through 10 or more of these:
Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped
Unfortunately, the process android.process.phone has stopped
etc, etc,etc
I have tried everything I could find on here to fix, but it seems all fixes are for a single process failing. This happens to me on all Roms I have tried, but I am just wanting to run Sonic. Even if I restore the nandroid I get the messages. If I factory reset or restore my kid-of-stock backup I am fine. If I start over and reflash a clean Rom I can set up and use but as soon as I restart it happens again. Sometimes when restarting I get a message about android updating but can't figure out how to stop that from happening.
Thanks in advance for any help!!! This is very annoying.

Are you doing full wipes and factory reset? If you are doing this between each flash then it sounds like you are restoring bad data into your apps.

Try re-flashing the latest Gapps and seeing if that will help.

Thanks, I'll try to find the latest Gapps now and report back if it helps out. But I'm not real familiar with the Gapps part so it may take some searching to figure out what theya re for Sonic Rom if it matters the rom.

This is the reason why I do not do any backup.. Most stuff on my phone is not important enought to require a back up.. If I have issues, I just reinstall the rom and my apps from the market.. I have only reinstalled my current rom once, and that is because I was not able to change my current prl...

Sounds like you need to do a FULL Wipe before you Flash. Also make sure your Downloading the Rom over WiFi, or Hardline.

Do not restore anything with TB whatsoever and I can assure you it will work. There is corrupt data somewhere.

The process I use for Flashing Roms is the same one I've always used. It's the one that's in my Sig. I'll also relink, in case your on the mobile. I have used it for a very long time now. It avoids a lot of the hassles of a bad flash.

Thank You All
Thank you all for your help!!!
So far I have managed to flash the rom and reboot several times with no issues.
I have only had this GS3 for a week now and I feel I can finally play with some roms and see what I like. I usually find one I like and stick with it. On my EVO Shift I used the same rom for 2 years.
Here is what I did for anyone that may have same problem:
Wiped everything, per-normal.
Loaded ROM.
Loaded a few of the apps I wanted to keep some settings for (like GO Launcher and Handcent) using Rom Toolboxes App manager.
I then rebooted to see if I had any problems... none.
Used Rom Toolbox to install just the apps and no data for my other 50+ apps I wanted to keep.
Made Nandroid backup, which forced reboot... no problems.
Installed Titanium Backup, this is where I was nervous because I thought it might be that app causing problems with asking about new ID and such. Installed just 2 apps that I wanted to keep data for that Rom Toolbox for whatever reason didn't have, maybe I didn't have a recent backup. 2 apps were Tasker and GO Bookmark widget. When asked to change ID I selected "later" and after restoring 2 apps I imediatly deleted TB.
Reboot to see if I got errors... none
Setup all settings and tweaks I wanted.
Made Nandroid backup... no issues yet
I then deleted all TB backups I had on SD card figuring one was the culprit.
I am still nervous to re install TB but at least as of now I have a working nandroid to revert to so after a couple days I will reuse it.
As of now I have had no issues what so ever... and I can tell battery life on this Sonic rom is much better.

Glad your all sorted out . I do not think that Titanium Backup the App itself is was causing the issues. Although I do recognize somethings that could. Restoring GoLauncher with settings Data could cause issues. Especially from one Rom to the next. Hopefully your not trying to restore the Data settings you had on the Shift. Also with Handcent, I would not restore settings across different Roms.

Now the problem: if ever I have to restart for some reason, or even after I make a nandroid back up, when it restarts and boots up I eventually get several messages where processes are one by one stopping. until the phone is useless and froze up.
So it goes through 10 or more of these:
Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped
Unfortunately, the process android.process.phone has stopped
etc, etc,etc
I have tried everything I could find on here to fix, but it seems all fixes are for a single process failing. This happens to me on all Roms I have tried, but I am just wanting to run Sonic. Even if I restore the nandroid I get the messages. If I factory reset or restore my kid-of-stock backup I am fine. If I start over and reflash a clean Rom I can set up and use but as soon as I restart it happens again. Sometimes when restarting I get a message about android updating but can't figure out how to stop that from happening.
Thanks in advance for any help!!! This is very annoying.

I had the exact same problem with a reoccurring message that would flash on and off every second or so. I did both a data restart then a reboot of the android software by pushing the down volume button then holding the power button. When the LG logo appeared I released both buttons and followed the instructions for an android factory reboot. Apparently it is the SIM card. The android com.android.phone communicates with the SIM card and allows calls and texts to be sent and received using the android software. My SIM card got damaged somehow and could not receive the call from the android app com.android.phone. I had to buy a new SIM card for ten dollars and had my stored files on the SIM moved to the new one and no more problems. Telus and Bell move the files to the new SIM for free i'm sure other major service providers offer the same free service.

@pokey2000 Thanks for that info. But this is the Sprint S3 section. And the user you are replying to has a Sprint S3. Sprint phones are Cdma and do not have a removable sim card.
