Android is Upgrading at every boot - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I'm running [ROM][28 Aug] [UVALH2 v37] XquiziT TMO ONLY!...
Whenever I turn on my phone, I get: Android is Upgrading... Starting Applications.
Although I don't think it affects the phones performance... it started happening after flashing Wildchild's ROM.
Of course, I have Wiped data, Dalvik, cache... and re-downloading, reflashing.
I also tried Wildchild's Superwipe [wipes EVERYTHING].
Some see it completely normal [SEE THIS POST], while others think it's not normal.
Any enlightening will be appreciated.

could it be updating your apps and checking for ota, abd that why it says that a boot up?

Why does it bother people so much? It isn't a big deal and it isn't affecting performance save boot up time but honestly how often does your phone boot?

is your dalvik\cache being wiped before rebooting?

It sounds like its wiping dalvik on every boot for some reason. I would try reflashing and if that doesn't work try flashing a different rom.

What? Nothing is wrong.

Well, its not exactly behaving the way that it should. Its rebuilding dalvik every boot. Not supposed to do that, so if its not acting right.......
Additionally, (and I know this isnt a very big deal, but to others it is) thats a lot of extra writing that is totally unnecessary.

It's not... I don't think it is. No apps are being updated: 1 out of 85
It just says "Starting Applications"
nothing else.

I flashed and reflashed with triple wipe [internal SD/system/etc]
I guess I'll try a diff ROM. I'm just happy with the current ROM though.

Have you flashed any mods or themes?
Just a shot in the dark, but heres a couple things you could try.
Install the deodexed UVALH2 rom, see if it still happens. If it does try to use Odin to flash the pure stock (will lose root). If it still happens I would try a different release at that point, just to narrow it down.
If it stops happening try flashing xquizit over top of the full version and see if it starts again.
Something else to try is use a different recovery. If you're still up for troubleshooting at that point!
How did you update to UVALH2 in the first place? Did you flash one of the rooted versions, or did you update with the full firmware or ota via Odin?
Like I said, its a shot in the dark, but im just wondering if something happened or got left behind when you updated.

Sorry, missed that a minute ago. Can you get a logcat? Youll have to conect to your computer and run it at boot. Dont want to try to guide you through that from memory but there should be some good guides here on xda if you dont know how.

Dalvik?
This happened to me after I did a Dalvik wipe while in recovery. That is the only time it happened. For a minute, I thought I lost root. Have reboot many times and have not seen it. Mine goes to 205 applications though.

Because it happens when the phone is rebuilding caches and goes by the number of apps you yourself have installed..

pretty sure wild child's builds have the ROM fix perms each time you boot. this is the cause of this message. don't worry, you are fine.

Mine just came back to normal and i dont see it anymore. Also i think my phone boot faster than the normal.

It's usually from an odex file being put into a deodexed Rom find that file and delete it and you should be fine.

[Q] Paranoid Android ROM Help!

Hello all. I wish I could post this in the actual thread, but I am a new user with less than 10 posts haha! But I am having an issue with Paranoid Android ROM booting. I have tried like every way imaginable. Here is the logcat form my phone: h t t p :// pastebin.com/mukxdDDM. So does anyone have any sort of idea as to what is goin on? I'm starting to learn my way around Android code and I still don't have much of a clue. Thanks for your help!
Flash cm9 sign in the works.. I then wipe everything format system and flash are u on mtd or what?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm having the same problem, friend.
I am. I have been on cm9 for a long time. I tried flashing cm9 clean first and flashing PA but to no avail.
I had this problem when I tried restoring to the paranoid. I fixed it by clean installing aokp with nyan v5, then clean installing paranoid and Google apps nothing else in twrp recovery and it booted. It should work in cwm also but I have not used cwm for a while because twrp is easier although a bit buggier.
My recommendation would be odin back to stock and then odin cwm and flash
I got it to boot once, but it was missing the notification bar. I redownloaded it, but now it gets stuck at the boot animation, and the phone gets warm to the touch.
Edit: Tried CM9 first twice after fully wiping. I hope to get this working, because it looked pretty cool...

Not sure why there are so many problems just to get it to boot. If one way works for the majority of people, shouldn't it work for everyone if the steps are followed exactly?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Nope...too many variables. Every phone is different, bad downloads, bad flashes. If everyone Odin'd to FC09 stock then rooted with cwm 5.0.2.7 then flashed CM9 98% would be fine but still 2% would have trouble.

Just in case anyone stumbles upon this thread, the booting issue for this ROM has been solved by the ROM porter. Anything passed the June 30 build has this issue resolved.
Also, anyone willing to help me with another issue? Or should I start a new thread? I want to post all these in the main thread, but I can't for 5 more posts. My issue is that I can get this whole ROM running, but I have no statusbar at all. I am not sure why. Can anyone be of assistance?

Did you do a clean wipe ? Sometimes when wipes aren't performed things like no statusbar happen. And until the dev work out the kinks I would stay away from the rom. I really like Paranoid Android myself

The way I did it was full wipe including wiping /system, then I installed cm9 and correct gapps, then did not install any extra apps, then installed PA and correct gapps, and all went well!

[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

It had JB on it when I got it almost 2 days ago. I tried to do an OTA when I got it but it said I was up to date.
Let me do a restore to stock and see what version it is.
Edit: Restored stock. Says android version 4.1.1, Kernel 3.0.31-370274se.infra, Build number JR003L.T999UVDLJA

It was new, out of the box. I watched the guy unrap it. It is one of the newer grey metal color looking ones. It was not rooted. I did that. Should I do an Odin to bring the device back to complete stock and start from scratch?
Will take a while since I have no idea where to start with all that

Hey thanks again for your help. I ended up falling asleep but installed Wicked V6 (tw based rom) and liking it enough that I will wait on a aokp/cm10.x rom until I get up the motivation to try again.
I'm sure I'll get an itch for a different rom in about a week though

flashed multiple Roms on this, the only way i can get rid of the info on screen is by going back to 4.0.4. has anyone come to figure out where this is coming from?
Little late
Okay so i know its late but if anyones feels the need to go back to stock heres the fix:
-Have root access
-Use titanium backup to find Systeminfo 4.1.2
-Clearing data will remove that
-You should only need to do this every boot
Not sure if you can remove this program, but that would eliminate the problem

I know its an old thread, but i am wondering if any one can shed some light as to why this system info screen appears, i was able to get rid of it by just deleting the file from titanium backup, no visible problems what so ever , data, phone, mms, every thing works as it should.
Just wondering why it popped up after odin back to stock..
Also I've read a few other samsung forums, and they relate this info screen to either; permanent safe mode due to imei faking, or corrupted efs drive/partition or some what.
Fyi, with the imei faking there would be no data/cellular services.
So I'm going with that something might be wrong with my efs? Maybe?
I had the same issue. I fixed it by restoring efs from a TRWP efs backup.
When I had this system screen show up it also flashed below it on startup that factory mode was on. If you go to youtube and search "Samsung Galaxy S4 : How to Get out of Factory Mode" it may help those without a efs backup

Going to flash this weekend.
I found I had to flash a new gapps to get the play store working. I also had to uninstall and reinstall several apps that were force closing or not loading. But otherwise it seems to be as stable as 10.1.x for me.
I could not successfully flash back to any 10.1.x version (at least without doing a factory wipe) and I had actually flashed to 10.2 by accident (thinking it was a 10.1 nightly). So make sure to backup before you go ahead.
I'm also sad to see I'm still getting a runaway usb_otg process after disconnecting from a computer USB port requiring a reboot. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. The connected to USB notification also remains active sometimes after disconnecting.

If you make clean flashing a religion you wouldn't run into any problems.... clean flashed every nightly and never experienced 98 percent of problems others have had.

I had similar issues with GAPPS. Had to upgrade to most recent.
Overall, its a nice build. I am still having issues with phone reboots every so often. Only seems to happen when I am using GPS and BlueTooth
i.e. on my commute home. But the reboots are so fast, they may occur at other times when I don't have the phone up in my view.
Happy that I upgraded none the less.
Nice cant wait to try it out. I heard there are problems with the camera though.

If you make clean flashing a religion you wouldn't run into any problems.... clean flashed every nightly and never experienced 98 percent of problems others have had.

you clean flash every nightly? what a huge pain in the ass. at most i clean flash once a month or so, anything more defeats the purpose of customizing your setup since you have to keep redoing everything.

If you make a backup of your data partition, you can clean flash, restore your data partition, and be fully up and running in 10 minutes.

He's not talking about system data, he's probably talking about just your apps. I'd rather take an extra five minutes to make sure I have no problems than run into problems.

[Q] A lot of things I do makes my phone unbootable

This started about 6 months ago. Every now and then when flashing a new rom, or updating a rom, my phone would get stuck on the screen before the boot animation starts playing. It has been getting a lot more common. Especially on the new CM10.2 nightly. What happens is this...I updated from 10.1.2 to 10.2 (dirty flash), and then it got stuck on the splash screen before the boot animation. Whenever this happens, the only remedy to make my phone bootable again is to wipe the "data" partition. Thats really annoying as I lose all of my podcasts, and more importantly all of the pictures I have taken.
So I decided to just wipe everything, and start from scratch with the cm10.2.zip. Let me take the time to show you my process of installing a new rom, I have done this probably two or three hundred times, but maybe I forgot how to do it along the way or something.
1. Boot into TWRP (v2.4.1.0)
2.Wipe Factory Reset 3 times, System 3 times.
3. Install ROM.zip, install propper version of GAPPS.zip
4. Reboot System
5. Wait for it to boot, reboot again, wipe cache/dalvik 3 times.
6. Good to go
Did that exact thing for cm10.2.zip, and it worked great. Did some app installs, and had to reboot. Bam, stuck at splash screen. This happens on cm10.2 no matter what after a reboot. If I do a clean install of 10.2, not touch anything afterwards, just restart, it will be stuck on the splash screen. But as I said before, it happens randomly when I am installing any rom/update. I am not messing the kernels anymore, haven't for awhile.
Any ideas?
Few things get the latest version of your recovery secondly as I just did recently. Re-Odin everything back to stock through DocHolidays thread I chose DLJC and then Odin your recovery just get it from twrps site and then go about your business. I too was having the weird boot up and hang on bootani with every ROM I installed, I would just hard reset via holding power button but finally cleared it all up by doing the steps above.

And just in case, don't restore system data such as accounts, settings, etc from a backup such as one from titanium. Imo its best to restore as little as possible this way. Some of it may be incompatible.

I only do apps+data, no settings or anything.
Sorry to be a bother, but I can't find the thread mt3g was referencing anywhere.
Stickied in development, and linked in my sig.

Sorry, I looked at the stickies in a few categories, and Googled for a few minutes and couldn't find anything. Wasn't sure what the actual thread was about. The link in your sig was pretty obvious, but I didn't think to look there.
It's gonna take an hour to download the stock firmware, so I will probably work on this tomorrow. Will update then.
Def do and ask questions in this thread or search his thread as it has more than likely been covered a few times I suggest downloading the needed files and putting them in an easy place as well using 7zip and having it ready for use as well.

Are you downloading it from me? Or the sammobile/Samsung-updaets links I put with them? Afh should download that a bit faster than that I thought.

For the Odin firmware, all the links I see are hosted on Androidfilehost and Hotfile. I was only getting about 100kb/s on both sites.
Just tried this morning though and its downloading at 7mb/s. Guess they were just bogged down last night.
Ok, glad its better now! the whole reason I host them on afh is because hotfile is sooooo sloooow! If afh was going that slow they may have had some problems.

So I had fun this morning...
After flashing the root66 DLJC, I got stuck in a bootloop. I know its supposed to take up to 10 minutes according to the thread, but I let it go for a good 30 minutes before I decided to try again. Tried the root66 DLJA, same thing. Finally decided to try completely stock unrooted DLJC, and still the same thing. Booted into stock recovery for the hell of it, and factory reset/wipe cache and it booted up fine. Not sure what the deal was there.
I got my recovery installed, and all seems to be working on cm10.2.
I did try updating my TWRP last night before going back to stock, and it didn't help the problems I was having.
But it seems to be all in working order now, thanks for your help.
Anytime! Glad you figured it out. 99% of bootloops and boot hangs are solved by a factory reset. Its because some previous data was left over that was incompatible with what you were flashing.
