Suspended Twiz - can't get it back - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys,
I recently had the terrible idea to suspend touchwiz with romtoolbox. Upon doing so things went a bit wonky so I unfroze it but nothing seems to have changed. My camera apk has vanished and things are just running poorly.
I have attempted the normal device reset as well as a hard reset on the boot loader screen.
Does anyone have any ideas what else I can do since resets doesn't fix it? I've heard of Odin, but that just seems pretty drawn out when compared to the HTC RUU process.
Thanks in advance.

Use odin and here is the link if the link works.
Please READ the stickies on this and other threads before doing anything with odin.

In process of flashing Aosp rom my camera is now broke(black screen)

Hello everyone
I had flashed an Aosp rom I can't think of the name right now, it was a newer one, anyway I noticed the camera was force closing so I pointed out to that developer it was an issue. He wasn't why it was fc so I just moved on and tried another Aosp rom. Camera was still the same. I then decide to try and flash all the newer radios ect. Thinking that might fix it but it didn't.
So I went back to a sense rom to try to update prl and profile but didn't help.
Iv tried other camera apps with no success.
What's happening is the it goes immediately black screen and that's it. Sometimes the force close thing pops up other times it just sits on black screen.
I don't know what else to try. In other threads some have mentioned it could be an unfixable problem, this would really suck because they Just had to give me a new one due to a seperate issue.
Can anyone give me an insight into this? I would really appreciate it.

Have you dropped it lately? it could be loose on the board.
I know if you flash the wrong kernel, it'll break the camera among other things. Happened to me when I flashed aosp kernel on a sense Rom by mistake. Try reflashing Rom only after wiping everything except sd card.

Dam I did actually drop it recently. What would I do? Is that covered under the $7/month I pay?

Pretty sure I tried that already and it didn't work. Seems like anything I try hasn't helped.

Just have them take it apart and push the camera module back down onto the board. It takes literally like 2 minutes. I've done it in 30 seconds before.

Does this happen to you ?

Lately I've been really annoyed with phone, for some reason it just randomly reboots for God knows what reasons! Is this common or even a known issue ?
Are you running stock or a custom rom and kernel? I've never had a reboot with stock or on Starburst with lostkernel.

I dunno man, if that isn't happening without some 'aftermarket modifications', umm, I'd swap the damn phone. That isn't normal. I never get reboots unless I am overclocking on perf gov with everything maxed out...and that's pretty much it. If you are getting reboots just sitting there or dicking around on the internet that would be more than enough reason for me to take it in and swap it out...especially if you can reproduce the it for them.
Thanks for the replies guys, to answer your questions no I'm completely stock running stock kernel and it happens whenever I'm online or some apps will trigger it. I'd hate to restore but I think it's the only way
Ive had it a couple times.
It started after uploading app from market installing it while I was deleting one at same time
device crashed reboot took place.
From that point a had a couple reboots within days Touchwiz error displaying automatically going to phone keypad no escape from it.
I ended up doing factory reset fixed it all is well
did you by chance take an SD card out if another phone and pop it into that phone? if so, back up whatever data is on it, and try formatting it (if that cures the reboots, obviously something on the sd is corrupt and not cooperating with the system... dont restore anything from that backup you took after formatting) I would then try a facotry reset if the previous doesn't work. if the factory reset doesn't cure it, I'd swap the phone.

Thanks guys, I installed all the apps I could to the sd card. In other words all the apps were in the internal memory and that seems to fix the issue.
I'm not rooted and I'm getting random reboots.

[Q] Galaxy S 2 keps crashing! Help!

Okay, so i had the balck galaxy s 2 and it never had this problem, but i just got my white galaxy s 2 and every time i reboot, it freezes, and then comes up saying that power manager has crashed. Then nothing works, so i reboot and it does the same thing. I figured there was something wrong with the system, so i rooted and installed the Dewizzed rom, after 3-4 minutes of using it, it freezes, turns black, and then goes to the lock screen and it lost all conections to t-mobile/wifi. changed the rom to the juggernaut and the same thing happened.
Can anyone help? I don't know why this is happening. Never happened with my balck SGS2
probably just a faulty device dude.... return and get another is what I would do

Did you try factory reset? Wipe all data and cache before you flash a different rom?
I agree with the secobd person that posted an answer but theres another solution to it.... just get into download mode im sure you know how to do that... and use odin and flash back to stock... stock rom... that should fix everything.. thats what i do everytime something goes wrong with my fone...

There were problems on stock too. Plus for some reason, stock had a terrible lag. I gues if it doesnt resolve itself i will have to do another exchange (this is my 4th exchange) hopefully with mwc next month, t-mobile will get a few new phones and i will be able to get a working device . Anyways thanks for the help

Random Reboots

So I have been having some random reboots and my phone has been freezing and wont turn off unless I pull the battery. I am completely stock only rooted I have never flashed a rom on this device either. I dont know what could be causing these problems the only root apps I have is super user and wifi there. Anyone have any thoughts please chim in. Thank you.
P.S. I have done 2 factory resets as well

Define "factory reset". If you have truly reset all the software, then it must be hardware, in which case, time to visit a Sprint store.
Reset through recovery wiped everything 3 times

I was using Juice Defender and this was causing my reboot and unstalled it and reflash the MA7 return to stock Rom and my problems have been solved. In my case it was software or some tweak that I did that caused my problem. My phone has not restarted ever since this has been 5 hours.

Various problems on phone.

Hey guys I'm having some problems on miui and my phone in general. I have no root permission in miui and it force closes when I try to enter the app. Also I can't log onto xda if I'm not on WiFi.
This is probably my fave ROM and want to avoid going back. I don't have 4g and if I do its very slow and also my phone will cut in and out. I was wondering if there's any work a rounds to my problems, I flash correctly and fix permissions after I flash so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm scared of my imei corrupting cause its happened a few times and can't back it up with miui cause I don't have permissions. I just reflash it and that works. I'm using cwm. Seems like literally nothing else I've tried works, flashing wise. Could it be my version of cwm is out dated? Also wondering if anyone has ever replaced their screen with one that's $14 off amazon and if the 7000 Nah battery is real. Thanks if anyone is able to answer my questions
