[Q] Locked Up Phone Even After Reboot - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is pretty much locekd up, I can not go onto my phone to text, or call or whatever. It keeps saying "Sorry!" and I have the option to force close. When I press it another one comes up, non stop. It says "The application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." And I press force close but it does not work.
Phone: Epic 4G
ROM: Syndicate Frozen
Kernal: Twilight

If I wipe data +factory reset will i have to re install my rom?

Nah man

I agree with Jadden -- wipe and reflash (if you have the ROM on the SD card, you can reinstall from there).
I seem to run into this problem anytime I try the wireless tethering.

You dont have to reflah rom u can just wipe data and reboot but its better to wipe reflash and reboot

Find wireless tether 2.0.7. It doesn't corrupt data.

What happened was a result of a "no journaling" ROM. You had an improper shut down, battery pull, phone drop or something that corrupted the data. To avoid this, when your phone is stable again, make a nand backup in CWM and then restore it right away. This will turn journaling on.

~~~~HELP~~~~~

I have some major issues!!!!
I have tried everything that I can think of and I still have problems!!! I have flashed several different radios, Different Kernals, Different ROMS ASOP and Stock and I don't know why my phone keeps restarting randomly! Sometimes it will go for an hour and sometimes it will go for 30 seconds but it keeps restarting itself. Currently I am running CM7 with the new GB Radio leak. Still happeneing please can someone help ease my frustration with this god forsaken phone! Thanks for any Suggestions!
Just a thought, are you undervolting your kernel at all? If undervolted too much mine has constant reboots.
All I can think of, but by no means am I an expert.
Are you wiping all partitions before flashing?
Full Wipe:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
Go into Mounts and Storage
3. Wipe System
4. Wipe Data
5. Wipe Cache
Go into Advanced
6. Wipe Dalvik Cache
7. Wipe Battery Stats
8. Install zip (ROM)
9. Power off/on, the boot back into recovery
10. Install zip (GApps)
11. Power off/on
*These are not my instructions. Saved them in evernote but I can't remember what thread it was from.
SD?
Had this same thing happen w/ a friend's DInc.
Copied all SD files to PC, removed and reformatted SD to FAT32, copied files back to SD, remounted, problem went away.
It was a guess on my part, and worked for her, idk if that was the issue, but the reboots stopped.
does it do it when you just install a rom with the stock kernal it comes with? Try running just 1 thing for a while to see what is causing it.
Or it may be a hardware issue.....you can search these threads for 'random reboots' and see that you may just need a new phone. I had the random reboots issue which originally lead me to rooting......which still didn't help. My problem started when I let the phone get way too hot on a car charger, does it seem heat related? Just a thought, would seem more likely than a kernel issue as every time you flash a new ROM you get a different kernel....
I had the same issue and had to get a replacement. Just make sure you put everything back to stock before you take it in. There is a great thread in develompement that will walk you through it. You may want to even try going back to stock anyway and see if the problem persists.
I can run stock everything and I still get the same problem I'm going to try and format my sd card and see if that works.....i don't know what else to do. And yes i have wiped everything before installing new ROM...

I thought it was $50? and I also thought they ran out of Incs?
What I meant by back to stock is unroot, s-on, ect... You mentioned that you have tried different roms so I am assuming you are still rooted.
They are not out of incs, but if they were you would get an upgrade anyway.

Either way give it like 5-10 min see what happens. Toggle airplane mode off then on..
May need to back up your stuff and do a reset

yes, i am rooted (CM7). ive tried to toggle airplane mode on and off but it sits there and does neither.
ADW Settings > Backup and restore? im completely new to HTC/rooting and im confused. i will be going back to Froyo soon...this isnt for me. TIA.
Did you restore data with Titanium Backup?
Try clearing data/factory reset
im not familiar with Titanium backup...he did use Clockwork mod...i really dont know what im talking about. sorry.
Have you tried a data wipe/factory reset?
will i lose data, apps..?

Hey man pm me and ill try to help. I'm at work for 8 more hours though...first thing is to download titanium backup and backup all apps. Then in your recovery you need to wipe data, and dvlik cache. Then flash cm7 again
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
Yes. Hence data wipe lol. Install Titanium Backup from the market and backup your apps+data under menu -> batch -> backup. This is the most essential app for root users.
Then, after your data wipe, redownload Titanium Backup, menu -> batch -> restore -> missing apps. Then just restore your apps and the data associated with those apps.
Edit: I am currently unrooted, so my terms in TiBu may be a little different
how am i supposed to download this without internet connection on my phone? im at work and i cant do much here. i tried to download the latest nightly but its too large to send from my work email. i may be stuck until i get home.
Touche, I never thought about that.
Since you said "he" used CWM, I assume you did not flash CM7 yourself? Did you have your apps back when he gave your phone back to you? If so, you might already have TiBu.
i was able to download and transfer nightly19 to my phone via USB, rebooted and the good news is..airplane mode is OFF but i am not connected to the mobile network (although the data enabled box is checked).
i have MyBackup Root installed.
I'm not familiar with MyBackup Root, but am assuming it's like TiBu. Make a backup of your apps (and data for apps), then wipe data. When you go to restore with MyBackup, only restore apps and the data for the apps, not system data. Do this when you have wifi so you are able to redownload MyBackup, just in case it doesn't work.
im getting aggrivated. i just want to go back to Froyo minus all the bloated crap. this rooted life aint for me. let the research begin and hope i dont brick my phone.

You won't brick it, but you may have to sacrifice having your apps for a re flash

Take a deep breathe.
Make sure you have a Rom on your SD card.
If you do boot into recovery and do a complete wipe and reflash

[Q] Samsung I9000 force close

Hi, I received a Samsung I9000. Would not go past "s".
Used odin to flash to Gingerbread- still would not boot. Flashed to stock 2.2.1.
Takes long to boot, then force close keeps on popping up for all applications installed. After startup, I noticed the same user data and applications on phone. I tried *2767*3855#. No luck. Booted into recovery and wiped cache and formatted, no luck. What else can I do?

AFAIK as long as you still notice same user data on phone, you won't get any luck repairing force closes.
Try to wipe data/factory reset first, then do flash any stock Gingerbread with repartition checked using Odin.
After that, you should have a clean ROM without FC.
Then it is best to redownload your installed apps from market.
If you would like to restore your apps using Titanium Backup try just to restore app only (without data).
Good luck and cheers...

[Q] Rooted phone...now some issues

HI Gang....I rooted my note 2 from sprint using the toolkit.......worked well for about a week....then I downloaded a rom for the S translator......Ever since I did that, I cant download anything, the play store force quits and rom manager is not working as well..... I used the toolkit to reflash the root image but no luck...I have deleted the previous apps and reloaded with same results......help! I was using cynaogen 10.1......now i cant do much HELP!!!!!
My suggestion, go into the app manager and force close google play store and clear data. Then reboot to recovery and fix permissions.
If that doesn't Cut it, flash a TouchWiz rom. My recommendation is macksrom 5.0 with perseus kernel.

I got the file to be pushed to device...but it states it is unable to find a program to open file....
You need to boot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik and then reflash your rom (unless it's a rom that says not to flash data). When you have problems with force closes, as the person above says, you'll need to manually go into the app's info from Application Manager and delete the data for the respective apps you're having trouble with.
Then boot into recovery again, clear cache and dalvik only and fix permissions then reboot into system.

Sounds like you have a corrupted system partition or some other sort of data corruption. You'll need to sbf back to a stock setup and start from scratch.

GS3 Reboots In Clockworkmod

running PAC ROM for the last few months, very few issues. yesterday, phone randomly reboots & stays in bootloop. I manually reboot into recovery, do a clean wipe & re-flash ROM. phone works fine until i try to restore apps/data via Titanium, the phone goes back into bootloop. figured i possibly waited too soon to restore my phone, so i held out until this morning. go to run Titanium & phone bootloops again. but this time when i reboot into recovery & try to do a factory reset, the phone reboots as soon as i select "Yes" & goes back into bootloop. Google produced nothing, help!!!! Thanks.
Reflash rom and try to determine which app youre restoring that may be causing the problem. Do you let apps auto update? Do you have backups set to rerun on a schedule?
You could also odin flash the official firmware and start over that way.

thanks for your response! I believe I found the culprint; a theme I downloaded yesterday. I was able to wipe everything except data & reboot, which caused the phone to "optomize" all of my apps. So far so good, but I'm not so sure if this is a temporary or permanent fix.
I dont auto update anything on my phone. Should I?
EDIT: spoke too soon, phone worked for about 2 hours & went into bootloop while idle. froze while deleting dalvik cache but rebooted & is back "optomizing apps". Looks like I may have to odin flash.

Dont auto update, I was just asking because if you did, it could point to a recently updated app as the problem.
It does sound to me like odin is your best option though.

Wow armond, the EXACT same thing happened to be while running Illusion. I couldn't factory reset in recovery, b/c that led to a bootloop when i pressed "yes". I wiped, cache/dalvik and phone worked for a little, had a hot reboot, and bootlooped again. By any chance are you running Ktoonsez kt747 kernel? And i eventually got it fixed thanks to Doc through ODIN. Best of luck!
