Hi, I received a Samsung I9000. Would not go past "s".
Used odin to flash to Gingerbread- still would not boot. Flashed to stock 2.2.1.
Takes long to boot, then force close keeps on popping up for all applications installed. After startup, I noticed the same user data and applications on phone. I tried *2767*3855#. No luck. Booted into recovery and wiped cache and formatted, no luck. What else can I do?

AFAIK as long as you still notice same user data on phone, you won't get any luck repairing force closes.
Try to wipe data/factory reset first, then do flash any stock Gingerbread with repartition checked using Odin.
After that, you should have a clean ROM without FC.
Then it is best to redownload your installed apps from market.
If you would like to restore your apps using Titanium Backup try just to restore app only (without data).
Good luck and cheers...

and also try to format the internal SD memory for more clean rom flash...
but dont forget to backup it 1st...
I have the same problem ,, the problem is that the internal memory won't format on any way or another ,, I used alot of methods to format it but nothing change .. I still able to read my memory and copy whatever I want but not able to remove anything or make any changes ,,,,,,,,,,, sorry for my bad english
ok...so heres what happened. I recently updated my rom to thunderhawk III EI22 and dont get me wrong its a nice rom and very clean and snappy. but when i installed titanium backup pro and it said reboot required. when i rebooted and everything came back up and running again my home button and my search button (the ones built into the phone) just those wernt working. and ive tried to reboot again and they still didnt work, i tried removing the battery and that did nothing either, and i even tried to reinstall the rom and that did nothing as well. im kind of at a loss...any thoughts?
What did you restore with titanium? What rom were you previously on? It is best to restore apps individually, and only restore data on apps that you really need to.
Edit: did you wipe data before reinstalling? The rom will backup data before wiping itself and restore on install.

i was going to restore the app data but when i installed the program to do that it wanted me to restart my phone so i did and thats when things stopped working
Hmm, I think that happened to me (asking to reboot) once when I clicked too fast and didn't allow titanium root access. Usually it never asks me to reboot. I have never seen the keys stop working, and have flashed countless versions of random rom, and use titanium pro all the time. Have you tried clearing data in titanium? If all else fails, wipe everything and start clean again.

Go to the market and download titanium.. the go to ur apps one by one, and reinstall. When u flash the roms, u have to make sure that u do a clean wipe 3x

Don't update titanium untill after u have installed ur apps.

First off, I am aware there are other threads regarding this issue but there appears to be an issue with my phone that is not mentioned in other similar threads so I am starting a new one.
I just updated one of my apps and then all of a sudden my phone keeps rebooting. Having read other threads, I figured I will go in and uninstall the app and see if that fixes it. However, whenever I even try to open something like task manager or applications in settings, it freezes and then reboots again before I even get the chance to uninstall. I was able to use titanium backup to uninstall the app but still no luck, it still reboots.
So I go into cwm recovery mode and I am just going to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, etc. since I have a backup of the rom ready. But the phone freezes and then reboots right when it begins the factory reset process.
So now what is there left to do but to download the stock ICS rom or a custom rom, whichever, and use odin to install the md5 file.
Is there anything else I should try before I attempt to just flash to stock (or custom) rom using odin?
Thanks for your help!
Try this;
Download and flash tdj's darkside super wipe
Flash Jedi Mind Trick v3 ROM
Flash tdj's darkside cache wipe
Reboot and Wait for like 10 mins for the ROM to settle and then reboot.
And don't restore app with data in titanium. First try restoring apps only. Later on restore data for important apps.

I decided just to odin back to stock. Better to work with a fresh OS again instead of restoring what was still probably a buggy rom.
But thanks for your input.
Alright. You're welcome. Good luck.

This is something that's bothered me since upgrading to 4.1.1. Doing just what the title says. So far, I've tried clearing the dalvik cache, wiping the cache partition, uninstalling titanium backup and restarting, as well as uninstalling ROM toolbox and lucky patcher. I'm rooted with chainfire's "quick" method but I also had root before upgrading from ICS. I also tried bin4ry's universal ICS/Jellybean method after upgrading before finding chainfire's, witch, I am suspicious of bin4ry's causing the bug in the first place. The message shows briefly after the glowing "Samsung" boot animation. I have scoured to the bottom of the internet looking for an answer, but I really, really do not want to re-flash the stock rom again. Any reason why this happens? Any way to fix it without wiping my phone; if that works?

Sounds like it's wiping dalvik on each reboot. Wipe and re flash.

It's not wiping the dalvik cache. The system displays the message briefly with no application count. I just assumed it was normal on 4.1.1

Several people seem to claim otherwise, Google shows. My tenant's and several of my friend's phones don't do it. I'll try reverting to factory and upgrading again in a few days if there are no other solutions.

Mine showed up after the Google wallet mod. Also had it happen after removing some stock apps although I'm not sure which caused it.

I've removed a lot of at&t's bloatware, along with S-Suggest, "help" and ypmobile. I've also frozen s-voice and the samsung keyboard in favor of SwiftKey. I've removed bloatware in both so far. Maybe once I revert, I'll try to find out more about the problem. Until my phone is sick of the cache partition wipes and ruthless dalvik cache destruction, I will continue to try in vain. For the good of my OCD.

Many ROMs and Kernels are set to ziplalign apps on boot to improve performance.
I want to say this was also implemented in stock JB, or its set in CWM's init.d script for the newer versions.
This also happens each time you wipe dalvik and/or if you have Titanium Backup set to intergrate sys dalvik into ROM
I just did the HOWTO root after upgrading to stock JB, and after reading this post I did a quick reboot and yeh, the message appears for me as well.
Never integrated sysdalvik w/ titanium backup. I've also rebooted the phone without clearing dalvik, and never had cwm. Probably a few things I should have mentioned earlier, but they never crossed my mind.

Fixed the problem. Turns out you do need to re flash the whole phone. Reset to factory in recovery, then wipe the cache AND the dalvik, then reset to stock using ODIN. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU RESET TO FACTORY. The phone will remain soft bricked otherwise. A tutorial can be found here: http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-unroot/how-to-unroot-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/. The only tried and true way to get the bug out. As far as I know. If anyone has any more ideas as to how this problem occurs, I'd still like to hear them.

I rarely reboot these days. I do my CWM backups online.
But when I do reboot, I do get that updating message and have been seening that from as far back as I can remember. It bugged me at first but not now. For me, it only does it for about 2-4secs so I don't bother trying to fix it.
I have the cause in my case but I don't have the solution. I flashed a mod I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044449, apn_editor_1.1.zip. Now every reboot I get Android Is Upgrading.... Starting apps.
How do I stop the phone from trying to add this mod?
Just got the same problem. Had super SU on the phone (soft root), so i tried to fully root (i installed xblasttools, and had to flash pa-icons, so i could change the color of the battery, but i couldn't because it said signature failed). Downloaded philz kernel/root, flashed with recovery. Then i uninstalled the Super su rebooted and there it was; Andriod is upgrading ...
I'm on 4.1.2, Samsung GT-i9100. Help !
P.S Uninstalled the superuser that i got with the phil kernel and installed Super SU. Also i did wipe the davlik and cache. Same stuff.
I got the Android is upgrading message before. It was because I tried to convert a user app to a system app. Converted it back to a user app and it went away. I think it had something to do with having an apk file but no corresponding odex file for that app in /system/app
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I have found why this happens, issue is with lucky patcher, when you patch application it creates <appname.odex> this odex file is somehow diffrent than real odex, so when you wipe dalvik cache it caches all your apps and then you have Android is starting apps on each boot. The solution is to delete all apps odexes wich you patched, reboot phone, this time it will not display "android is starting apps" and will work until you delete dalvik again. It is possible to apply patch with Lucky Patcher to dalvih cache instead of creating odex, but you loose your crack when you wipe dalvik again.
This is the solution, if someone have better way of doing it post here, also sorry if thread is old.

Thank you for pointing out Lucky Patcher. The "android is starting apps" notification started when I deodexed my rom. I uninstalled those patched apps, reinstalled and re-patched normally with Lucky Patcher 3.9.9.1 and that notification is gone.
:good:

Next time just cut odex files to other location, reboot phone and copy odexes back, this should be alot easyer
Try to reflash your rom that may help some how

I finally decided to root and install a custom rom today
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 2, SGH-i317M
The root went fine, but when I flashed in Carbon, it wouldn't let me look at any of the apps and just said "Unfortunately, launcher has stopped."
I waited a bit but this didn't go away. So I decided to reboot and see if it would fix it. It didn't and the next time something else stopped working and I couldn't get back to the homescreen, and the home button did not work. I tried going into recovery and using my backup, but it said there were no files found, I think they got deleted when I wiped the cache by mistake instead of the davlik cache
So now I wanna go back to stock. Right now i'm downloading the stock firmware, should I just use ODIN with this and it'll fix it? Do I need to do anything different in ODIN or is it the same as when I was rooting it?
Which recovery are you using? Did you factory reset, wipe partition cache and wipe dalvik cache?

really should read before posting because a lot of people had the same problems. but dont be discourage because as long as you can get twrp then you are good to go. trust me i am not a developer just a flashahaulic once you get to using custom roms you will understand how great it really is.
alot of times the first time you flash little things might hiccup you panic or reset to soon just turn your phone off then press the volume up, home button and the power hold till the recovery comes up then. now if your did a back up before you started then you can just restore and it will fix the problem. now if you didnt do that trust me i have done it plenty of times before till i relised how important it was to do. just go and down load another rom ( like jedi x} real stable. wipe every thing twice and wipe rom. install new rom and wait it might take a while but wait then you should be good
Thank you everyone, I managed to get my stock back and i'll try to flash a different ROM this time. The issue with Carbon is that I needed GAPPS or some random thing, it didn't even say on the front thread and they don't even have a guide, so it's super newbie unfriendly. I should have realized that before I did anything.
Good deal in most cases if not all you'll need gapps when flashing any cyanogenmod based ROM. Good luck my friend!

Okay, now I got GAPPS and flashed in Beanstalk rom.
This time, the Android Keyboard (AOSP) is constantly crashing every 5 seconds. I can't even get into Google Play to download another keyboard. What is wrong here? I searched all over and no one else is having this problem.
Which version of gapps do you have? Be sure you've downloaded version 20130301.

sounds like you need to do ALOT more reading, and ALOT less flashing, until you know what you are doing..
