So i have just tried to install AOKP 25, whiped everything in AOKP and then installed the rom.
Everything worked fine but then tried to access ROM Control and it crashes instantly.
I have gone back through CWM and whiped again and done another install (3x now) but still the same problem.
So i did a full data erase in settings and the phone resets, brings up the android picture and then after some time boots back in to the phone exactly how it was prior?
Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Hello!
I was running a rom (rooted etc.). wanted to do a complete restore to defaults in order to give my phone to someone else. fistly went and erased my sd card from the settings menu. seemed to have done the job (later found out that nothing had been erased). secondly tried to do a system restore to defaults. was waiting and waiting with a message "rebooting". after some time i removed the battery. then went into recovery (s-off) and after wiping everything tried to install a new rom (i had already found out that the sd card was still full therefore i erased everything prior to that). everything seemed to work fine. but. when it booted there weren't any menus etc. tried to reflash rom and tried other roms as well... finally after inserting a sim card as well (was trying without my sim) i got the dialer etc (no initial setup no nothing) i got a menu but settings was missing, market was missing etc. whatever rom i have tried same thing. i can't do anything because settings menu is missing.
any suggestions on how i can fix everything ? (i don't have a nandroid, i know i know, stupid me).
thanking you in advance
This morning I found my battery dead. When I got it to boot, it was bootlooping. I tried flashing, wiping, everything. Bottom line is if I sync to google, my phone goes into bootloop. Full data wipe in recovery does nothing, all my apps are there and work fine, flashing works fine. Tried installing twrp, same thing.
Any ideas?
Anyone got any ideas? Could this be a hardware problem?
Guess I'll try going back to stock when I get home. Unfortunately I could never get mtp to work properly.
Sounds like a bad ROM you are using.
Does it use the CM GAPPS file?
You can try flashing CyanogenMOD's latest GAPPS and i bet that would fix it.

Tried many different ROMs, that was not the problem. Wipe didn't work, even the native factory reset. Went fully back to stock and rerooted and it seems to be fixed. Still working on restoring things.

Last week i was having issues with the phone not booting, or just locking up not responding etc. A wipe seemed to help, and wit work for a while. I'd get my phone setup to where I wanted it again, and then the issues would come back.
I found a post that said it was possible EXT4 formatting issues because of a bad poweroff. So I downloaded all the stock 4.04 images, fastboot erased system boot recovery. Flashed the latest radios, stock system boot userdata and clockwork recovery 5.5.0.4. Booted seemed to be fine.
Rebooted into Clockwork and installed Vanir v7, ran fine for a few days. I thought the issue was gone. Until this morning when I got a text message and went to unlock the phone and it was locked up. I pulled the battery and that is when everything got extremely bad
Would not boot past the boot animation. I tried the following
I reinstalled the ROM,
i treid to wipe data,
wiped data and reinstalled the ROM.
although I was able to make a nandroid backup before I tried all of this
Then as a last resort I went into the mounts and storage and FORMATTED /system /data and /cache in CWM. Reinstalled the ROM and it actually booted.
What greeted me there is the last thing I'd EVER expect to see. I don't know how, what or why but all my data was there... every app text missed call... all of it.. even tho I had wiped AND formatted several times and did NOT restore my backup. EDIT: Even more oddness... My user apps didn't get wiped, they are all still there, but they are all acting like I had cleared their data through the applications menu....
I still don't know if this is because of a NAND issue that formatting fixed both times (flashing stock and using format in CWM) or if it will ever come back. Has any1 else had any issues of this sort? I really don't think this is a ROM issue.
you're probably causing more damage by flashing this, wiping this and that. best option is to leave it stock for now by flashing the factory image again. if it is a NAND issue then it would have stopped booting when the issue occured. but if it is still causing problems then send it back for a replacement.
I've been trying to get a Rom on a S3 that the wife likes, so I've recently flashed the latest versions of Hyperdrive, Synergy and Wicked. I always follow the proper procedures of data wiping/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik, format system, and format data between each flash. I tried Hyperdrive first but had google sync errors, so went to Synergy. Synergy wouldn't connect to the nectwork so I went to flash Wicked v10 but the device wouldn't wipe/format data. I let it set for 20+ minutes and it never progressed. Pulled the battery and tried again but same result. I was able to install Wicked w/out the data wipe and it seemed to boot up ok but I was determined to get that wipe. So next I tried to restore to a backup from a week ago and it also stopped progress at the formatting data step. I re-flash Wicked v10 w/out the wipe. Once it did its thing and booted up I used went to the Factory Reset option under Settings but now the phone is stuck on the screen with the Android figure and a progress bar. Pulling the battery and trying to boot into recovery or even a normal boot all results back on the progress screen. I've managed to thoroughly piss off the wife by disabling her phone. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I don't care if its reset back to factory rom or just anything to will allow the phone to work. Any help is appreciated.
Have you tried using Odin to flash a new original factory ROM?
IDK if you can get into Download Mode, but, if you can, it's worth a shot.
i agree with that statement. try flashing stock and unroot with odin. i have use hyperdrive since march, and i have not had that issue, so maybe its just a bad download or something. just try odin,
I recently rooted and flashed a recovery on my M8.
I was experimenting with the Fake GPS Free app, and mock locations. Worked great.
But when I turned it off (developer settings, mock location-->None), Actual GPS doesn't work right.
Turned it off, removed mock location setting, deleted app, re-installed app, made sure it was turned off, deleted again.
'High Accuracy' sorta works. It gives an approx position. But using something like google maps navigation gives the message 'Searching for GPS...' and never finds it.
I tried a couple of apps 'GPS Status' and 'GPS Reset Com' which reset A-GPS, but it hasn't worked.
'Device Only' fails completely.
Tried clearing cache.
I even flashed a new ROM (Android Revolution HD (6.0)) but no luck.
I do have a factory reset option - but I'd rather avoid it if possible.
Anyone have any ideas of what else I can try?
Restore the nandroid backup you made (you made one right?) before flashing a new ROM or playing with apps from /system
I actually did not make one. I've just been reading up what it is and what I should have done and now I feel a bit silly.
When it said 'backup your phone' I thought it was just the contents (messages, data, media, etc).
Oops!
It's still all a bit new to me..
Anything else I can try?
Backup your data and sdcard content then flash appropriate RUU, if it's not gonna work it's probably an hardware issue.
I have exactly the same problem with my M8. I tried exactly the same steps and still have the GPS issue. I also restored a previously made backup and did a clean flash of CM13... this couldn't solve the problem.
It can't be a hardware issue
UPDATE: I don't know if it would have worked before, but after reflashing I placed my phone on the ground outside, started GPS Status & Toolbox and waited for a GPS signal. after ~1 minute GPS signal was found and it works fine since then. Maybe I was just too impatient before.

Looks like you are new to the modding world. But if you are modding the phone (root, custom ROMs), you should always be prepared to recover from a factory reset (have your data backed up).
And if fact, if you are flashing ROMs without doing a factory reset (within TWRP) you are inviting all sorts of random bugs. In other words, the default wipe in TWRP (data, cache, Dalvik) is always recommended when flashing a new ROM.
