[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.

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.

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.

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.

How do I "clean slate" my S3???

Here is the deal, I have flashed everything out there, and then some. Batt life is down from when I first got it and now I am running into issues when I flash certain Roms. One rom I have flashed previously, now I cant open or access messaging. Another Rom gives me boot loops, while no one else seems to have any issues. I think I now have little gremlins in my phone. ok maybe it is just bits and pieces of code remaining behind, but regardless I really want to just wipe everything and start fresh. Do I hear people yelling Odin??? I have tried that. Back in my vibrant days, we had .pit files that seemed to do that. I only have found .tar files for the S3, dont know if that even matters. Do I re-partition? Did a little research and read that might brick my my ****. when I do odin my phone it seems like it doesnt work, if i am running wicked red rom everything is still red in the status bar, is that normal after odin, it states pass.

Do you wipe everything when you flash? Maybe try that with a fresh install? I use titanium backup and restore apps and data that I need. I've also been running SD maid which helps clean up duplicate files and crap that I don't need. I'm very new to this so I am sure there will be better advice.

Yeah, I usually factory reset x3, then wipe cache partition x3, then wipe davlik cache x3, and finally format system x3. I have read the x3 helps, not really sure if it is necessary or not. Seems to me that a data wipe either happens or it doesnt so should wipe on 1 try but have read multiple peeps stating that wiping 3x's helps.

Ok I odin'd to stock LH2 and it is weird. My status bar is stock, my wallpaper is what I had been using, I have titanium and SU on my app drawer but I am not rooted. Facebook pulled right up no restore or login. I also have a double boot animation, I get a brief circular samsung and then a partial tmobile boot. Seems like I still have stuff left behind??? And no I did not lose my data on internal SD. I still have songs and Roms.

Before or After you ODIN back to stock, you NEED to do a factory data wipe in recovery prior to first boot. You will lose internal SD< so back it up to your PC now and do it all over again

It seems that you didn't factory reset first somehow, ie. didn't wipe data, so all that stuff stayed.....

Thanks guys, The factory reset was it, I forgot that was even there, and assumed when I used Odin it should have done it.

Cycle Reboot issue after Killing Task

Hi,
Two nights ago my wonder became very slow and task killing, unlike usual, didnt help. So i decided to take deeper action and using zedbox, i chose system programs (via root) and ended almost all the tasks (system and non system). I had done this before and i didnt have any problems but, this time the system started rebooting. It keeps rebooting as soon as i stop using it or make a call, so i literally cannot keep it on; it is Cycle Rebooting.
What do i do?
Thanks in advance

You might have accidentally removed or changed a certain periodic settings.
Certain programs or processes tends to run not at all times but at certain time and month only.
Try to wipe dalvik and cache. Then reflash your ROM and gapps(if needed). (this is if you're using Custom ROM's)
If it is stock ROM. Simply do a restore using ODIN.
Then use seeders in your device to reduce lag.

If you're using CM9 based or CM10 based. Just reflash it and wipe dalvik and cache.
If you're using Stock GB ROM (original samsung) restore using ODIN.
Seeders can be found in the General Section of Galaxy W.

well i guess i can say the prblm is solved. This is what i did, if you have a better opinion state it here so others can use if need be in the future:
I took out the battery bcuz there was no other way to turn off the phone, then i went into stock recovery, deleted cache partition and did a factory restore... and now im back with a new stock rom!... well im gonna have to install everything once again...
guys... remember! Never touch smth unless you know what ur doing and ALWAYS backup... sigh. Thanks for the help everyone

[Q] ROM or phone glitch

I haven't posted enough to be able to ask this question in the development section - I usually find the answers I'm looking for and never feel the need to post - but I started having a lot of problems w/ my phone today.
First off, the ROM I just flashed is the latest Wicked Sensations. Everything was fine for the last 2 days, but this afternoon, the thing started going haywire everytime I would touch the screen. It's like there were multiple screen presses within the same area that I had just touched. When that wasn't happening, it would take a few moments before it would allow any touch input and be ok for a few seconds before going haywire w/ the ghost screen touches. (I know, shotty description.)
Just wondering if it's possibly my phone, the ROM, or if anyone else experienced this. I saw no one else that had in that thread so I'm wondering where I should go from here. Reflash, new ROM, throw the phone against the wall...?
Thx!

Make backup in recovery
Then wipe EVERYTHING, system, data, internal sdcard (if you have nothing.you.need) and cache
Note reflash your rom and wait a day or two before restoring any apps/data

I will reflash, but I have a question about making a backup - if I make a backup of it as it is now, won't it save whatever may be causing it to glitch like this?
FYI - When I flashed the ROM, I wiped everything through TWRP but don't remember if the option for the internal sdcard was checked, or if there was an option. I didn't save any old apps so I didn't restore anything. Once I had what I wanted, I made a backup within the hour. Would that be a possibility next to reflashing the ROM again (restoring from this backup)?

Hmm, you could try that, add long add it was a full clean flash
And in TWRP when you choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe, it gives you a series of check boxes to choose what to write and if you choose /data, it wipes /data/media too which is the internal storage

Guess I didn't read enough
Well last night it took all of about 2hrs before the touch sensitivity went haywire again, so just for the h3ll of it I tried another ROM. That time the bad effects were immediate.
I'm now on the backup I made of the stock and rooted ROM which gives me no problems. Not sure what in the updates could be causing the problem but I would hate to hear that I'm up the creek w/out a paddle.
Going to try installing the system updates after I remove root unless there's another suggestion.
Thanks for any advice.

Hmm, could have been a bad download

could have been a bad rom download. try re downloading the rom. maybe transfer it to your phone with a diferent cable. heck, maybe restart your computer first and try doing these steps again. something you might want to try also, after you flash your phone and restart it let it sit 5 minutes or so before touching it as the rom needs to finish building caches doing it's thing,

I don't think it's ROM related b/c when I went to recovery after that latest flash...Well I just happened to be using the latest TWRP and since it's touch operated, well it was a fun time trying to work w/ it while the screen was going haywire. Point is, it did it in recovery, too.
My thoughts are this - try installing system updates like 'normal' and if nothing goes wrong w/ the screen, then try a ROM but skip the part of clearing the system data and only wipe cache and dalvik.
How does that sound?

I was going to throw out hardware issue too. @ the op, does stock still not give you the ghost touch issue still? If it doesn't, then I'm not sure entirely. I'd recommend using a different recovery and checking the md5 of your rom then do a completely clean flash. Maybe your phone just doesn't play nicely with twrp
Sent from my SPH-L710

Yes, I was thinking hardware too but I'm just confused as to why it's only w/ updated software that it goes goofy. That's why I was thinking of trying the updates on the stock ROM to see if that was where the problem was. If it is, then I'm insured and should be able to take it in to the Sprint store.
With the original ROM I first tried, I tried 4 different downloads and when I first noticed the problem, that's when I went to the Wicked Sensations ROM. These all included the most recent OTA.
Btw.. I mostly download to my phone via my WiFi. I did try pc to phone in that ROM that I downloaded several times, but it was still the same.

I've only tried TWRP in the last couple days b/c it was suggested in the installation instructions of the particular ROMS. Would like to know why.
I like it, but CWM has never done me wrong.
Flashed the updated stock rom from this thread and kept root w/ the zip that's on that thread. Nothing's happening, of course, which is not only confusing but irritating.
Just downloaded the last ROM I tried last night onto my laptop and will transfer it and try it again after I make a backup of its current state. Will also take the suggestion of letting it sit for several minutes before seeing if the ghost is still following me.

Always check md5 of Rom downloads, that will rule out a bad download

Personally, I would resort to odin and start from a fresh slate. See if you can wipe the system and internal storage from twrp(or cwm), then flash the stock image and go through the whole rooting process (using the toolbox). That way, you can rule out software related issues if it's still a problem. Also, I'd see if it's still there before rooting..that's what I would do...

My bad... You JUST said you basically did that...

I did as I said I was going to do and flashed the stock. Lost my recovery so I tried Odin for the first time and put it back on there and proceeded to make a backup of its current state.
A few hours later I went ahead and flashed the new from I transferred over and I'm happy to say that everything is allll good... so far.
Never had any problems on the updated stock so it doesn't seem to be hardware related but it took a couple days later on one rom which is when I originally posted.

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!
