[Q] MIUI 2.3.23 to 2.3.16 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have installed MIUI 2.3.23 on my wife's epic, and the text is not working. I saw where this is an issue and it was recommended to use 2.3.16. Do I need to wipe data and cache to flash 2.3.16, or can I just flash it? Sorry if that is a bonehead question; just trying to save a few steps, but don't want to mess this thing up.

Wipe everything and flash clean other wise you'll end up transfering the corrupt data

Thanks for the quick reply. I did this.
I've flashed 2.3.23, 2.3.16, 2.1.16, and now 1.12.23.
I wiped everything (cache, dalvik cache, and data) each time. I cannot get the thing to receive texts. Sends them fine, but won't receive them. I have searched the forums, but can't find the answer. What have I missed?
Thanks,
Sam

You're on miuigb? I flashed 1.12.23 over 2.3.16 no problem, didn't even clear data, Odining could always help but maybe just flash another rom and go back, to MIUI...

Yes, I am currently on the GB version. Started with the most recent ICS, and I have been working my way back through the versions thinking one would allow texting to work, but none have. I'm in the process of restoring the CM7 backup to see if that will work.
Thanks for the input. I'll let you know how it turns out.

[Q] factory reset clear framework error?

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?
NOTE - everytime i did the restores and flashes, i did do a pre-rom wipe with acs recovery.

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
so does that mean that i have to go into recovery and repartition the sd card?
update - heres what it says on bootup - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

None of that will touch your sd card. And you don't need to. The errors are in phone memory.

Awesome good work. Just out of curriosity...did you try the reccomendations here? What were the results?
Glad u got it up and thanks for the update.
sent from a phone using an app
yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

I have used marcusant and sleeper rom at the moment, and they usually shut downs completely with the screen, but yes I make sure the light on the kb are shut. I don't know much about journaling, I guess I have to read about it.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.

It work before it was rooted i also see that my messaging is doing the same thing im able to open email and messaging but as soon as i go to send something it FC's and email sometimes won't even open.
cwm
when you installed calk do you wipe data , cache , dalvik , etc ....this can happen when you dont wipe .... if so go into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik reboot ...see if it works if not then try to install rom again or go to your backup
I have the exact same issue. Just started for the first time yesterday.
I cleared my email app data in settings and now I cant even open up the app. Once I launch it the error pops up and then forces close. I have just tried to reflash the rom (without a wipe) and that didn't even work.
I am also on Calkulin's rom.
I'm pretty much out of ideas. I guess next step is to do a full wipe and flash a new rom, but I'd rather not do that yet.
I too have the email FC and messaging FC just started to happen this week

Were you able to solve the problem ? Or did you have to do a full wipe ?
I decided to try a full wipe and reflash seems to have worked for me
Fyi for everyone... When having multiple fc's issues usually mean a bad flash of a rom. Either the rom wasnt flashed correctly, or its a bad download of the rom... Downloading the rom to your pc (NOT YOUR PHONE) is the safest way to ensure a good download of a rom (and even these downloads are sometimes bad). A telltale sign of this is when you are the one percenter from the thread having the issues... Hope new people read this and realize that reading the roms install instructions and following them is important and making sure your download is a good download are necessary steps in flashing happiness...
There isn't anything wrong with my download or how I flashed the rom. I always perform a checksum before I install any rom. I was on the rom with no problems for several weeks before the issue came out of no where.
I did have to do a full wipe and reflash of the same rom. Things are working fine again. I took a backup of the email app and will restore if the issues comes up again.

Q: Why am I receiving multiple error messages?

Hi
I am new to the forum, and being the noob that I am would like to ask some help from you guys. I have been receiving multiple error messages ranging from "Unfortunatley, Camera has stopped" to android.process.media has stopped as well. I have tried installing different roms, kernels, fixing the permissions all the way to completely formatting the SD card and using Odin to install the stock ROM again. I am at a loss as to what to do, any help at all would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks for your time!

When I installed the Stock ROM again using Odin, I performed all the steps you listed above before I installed the Rom in a last ditch effort, I will try it again. Thanks for the information, but are there any other suggestions?
I had this problem using tge beats installer from the market. I had to go back to stock and reroot. Doing a factory reset help. If that fails, i noticed uninstalling the failed apps and reinstalling worked but of course doing that for stock apps isnt as easy

[Q] Anything other than a TW and my camera just wont work, Help?

Hi there!
I have had an s3 for a few days now and love it!.
Any TW rom and my camera works just fantastic.
Any cm10/aokp/miui/etc rom and I just cant use the camera no matter what app I use to try it, whether it be the built in app or camera360/etc.
Driving me nuts and would love someone to help me. Anyway research I have done hasnt told me what I'm doing wrong.
I wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before each rom. I have tried different kernels but nothing has helped.
Any gurus out there have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Your install process would be and please link the files you are flashing... I'll try and help you. I've seen a few people mention this the past couple days.
The most recent I tried to flash was Illusion v1.1.18 - (d2tmo, d2att & d2vzw) - 1|18|13 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037028
I downloaded Illusion-v1.1.18-d2tmo.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
I went into recovery which is twrp and the most recent version. I installed it with the goo.im app.
When in recovery I did:
1) Factory Wipe
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe Dalvik
4) Wipe System
I would then click Install and select the rom file, and after it succesfully flashed I would then flash the gapps file. All were successful.
I would then reboot and the rom would boot up fine. I setup my google account and all that then for the heck of it I would reboot.
I then would try the camera app and it would complain that it couldnt connect to the camera basically. I went into the play store and tried a free version of camera 360, puddle camera, etc and all would not work.
I went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik again, hopped on one foot, faced east, and clicked my heels together. Upon reboot the camera does not work.
I have wiped all that and tried to install [Kernel][JB] Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel for D2TMO/D2ATT (AOSP) v2.3 [1/17/13] which flashed fine. Upon reboot I could change voltages to undervolt, mess with governors but cameras still do not work.
I have a backup of two TW roms (one stock) and both of the those roms work beautifully with whatever camera I try, including the built in/stock camera.
I hoped I didn't leave out something. If there is something I missed than I'm an idiot because it seems like I am really missing something.
Thanks for your help.
I don't see any reason your steps lead to that, the exact steps I take every time to flash. I'm researching but in the mean time, go to app manager and wipe cache and data from gallery... Are you using the same Gapps over and over on each try? Might wanna try a different set.

I did that earlier with no luck.
I just force stopped on gallery, wiped cache/data, rebooted, and I tried the camera only to get the same message.
Thank you for that tip but I will continue my research also.
Just because I looked at about phone.
Model of phone is SGH-T999 (just in case someone thinks I'm in the wrong forum"
Baseband version is T999UVDLJA
Kernel is of course 3.0.59-leanKernel
AOKP Version is Illusion v1.1.18 d2tmo
Build number is aokp-d2tmo-userdebug 4.2.1 (I truncated the rest)

I have downloaded this gapps twice for the last rom http://goo.im/devs/itsmikeramsay/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
For the miui rom there was a gapps that was specific to miui and had miui in the name. The miui rom's camera didnt work.
I'll look for a different gapps if that might be the problem but since I have tried a couple roms and a few different gapps I feel that might not be the issue.
I still will give it another try though. Just have to find another gapps to try.
try these just in case they're corrupted. http://d-h.st/dtk these are the ones I use

I never have that issue even with dirty flash. Have you tried to wipe system, data, everything? I think you can try to Odin back to stock, then root it and start everything fresh. Sometimes the old files are still left over and mess up your phone.

The sad thing is, that's all I've been doing. Using Odin and keep going back to stock, update to ICS with Kies, and then hope to try and run another version of the ROM, and still no luck. It's quite frustrating. And yeah, I wiped system, data, everything. Did a full on wipe.
Also, has anyone have been getting call issues? Like you sound muzzled to your callers?

Here is solution for your issue:
1. Upgrade recovery, or switch to TWRP.
2. Clean flash rom again.
3. Flash the newest radio UVLI4, or LI1.

DO NOT do that if you are on the latest TWRP or CWM 6.+ cause Darkside super wipe was discontinued. For AOKP and CM 10.1 Nightly I just did a data/partition wipe and flash gapps.
