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.

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.

What methods have you tried?
adb reboot recovery is the easiest way to get to recovery
Maybe try flashing CWM, seeing if that works, and then flashing TWRP (I've never flashed TWRP through Goo Manager so I don't know how that works)?
If you don't have adb set up, get quick boot from market and try recovery through that.
If that doesn't work, I honestly don't know. I'm assuming you've done the power off then volume up+home+power at the same time trick already.

With the goo app, I can boot directly into recovery, but my issue is that I get to the Recovery's splash screen, it hangs there for a second and immediately reboots back to system. I'm thinking to get the stock recovery back and try again I'm really not sure what the Hecks going on

I would highly recommend putting TWRP back on there. The CWM was more for testing... people have reported issues using CWM with certain ROMs. Glad you were able to get CWM on though.
Nothing wrong with CWM.

There are a number of ROMs that do not support CWM so that statement is false. FreeGS3 loses update functionality, for example.
Also, there have been complaints in the case of CWM touch of it being too easy to wipe your entire device.
Not to mention there is no Goo Manager functionality without TWRP as well.
Lots of benefits of TWRP versus CWM. I used CWM for years then had to switch to a modified TWRP for my MAXX and was more than happy when I found out the SGS3 used TWRP as well (although I wish we had the ROM slots like the MAXX though - that was actually cool)
The statement is not false. I think FreeGS3 hasn't been updated for 4.5 months? Maybe not the best example. And I still think you should use as few automated tools as possible where flashing is concerned (Goo/ROM Manager).
It can be easy to wipe the wrong partition in CWM, if you are careless or illiterate. In the 6 months that I've used it (nearly every day), I have never once wiped the wrong partition, or my entire device. Never had a backup that wouldn't restore.
I like some of what TWRP offers. But I still experience showstopping bugs with it on my device. At this time, the devs are unable to track down the cause of the problems.

Don't get me wrong, I've used CWM on many devices for years and even have a premium license for ROM Manager but I've seen a number of ROMs explicitly say not to use CWM, FreeGS3 was just the first that came to mind. I don't flash often because quite frankly, I have no problems with Wicked v8 and see no reason to switch to anything else.
And I am neither careless nor illiterate but I have accidentally borked things using CWM before in the past (it was a modified CWM Touch recovery) and I was not happy.
I think most of the complaints about CWM these days though come from CWM Touch, not regular CWM. Sorry TWRP has issues for you.
OK, so I'm getting a new issue, I changed to AOKP and I had problems with the ROM saying I needed to wipe data, I did, the issue persisted for few reboots, now apps won't install, and for some reason the /data folder still displays apps from my previous ROM ugh I don't know what's happening

Which recovery? Try erasing data, cache, and system three times each and reinstalling the ROM... If that doesn't work you might consider doing a back up of everything internally stored on your phone and then wiping the internal storage entirely and starting over.

I flashed an AOSP Rom (SuperNexus) on my LGOG. Now when I try to flash a Stock (ZVB) based ROM, my phone reboots every time data connects. I tried Stock Rooted and Lifeless. The ROM's will flash onto my phone, but I can't get any data.
I tried installing LGNPST, but every time I connect my phone and open the LGNPST software I get a message that LG USB/Parallel dongle is not detected. I flashed back to Super Nex and my connection is fine.
And I am re-flashing, not restoring a backup. I ran a backup in TWRP before I flashed Super Nex so that I could get back to my Stock setup, but TWRP can't see anything to restore.
Ugh

This happened to me a couple months ago.
Easy solution:
Go to TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced -> make sure you wipe all four options data, dalvik, cache, and system.
When you factory reset you only wiped data, dalvik, and cache. You forgot to wipe system, then you can go back to flashing normally.
Dont worry this wont wipe your SDcard.
Well I ****ed up. I formatted the data partition. I am now hard bricked. No recovery, no boot, nothing. glad I purchased that insurance.

Are you actually hard bricked because at this point normally I'm pretty sure you could just LGNPST back to stock? I mean I've wiped everything before to rule out dirty flashing related bugs on ROMs and I don't think TWRP actually touches any of the really critical low-level files.

I had the same issue with LGNPST. The solution is very simple. Uninstall LGNPDT completely from your computer. Go into start-computer-c drive and delete folders labeled LG electronics off of there and inside program files. Then reinstall LGNPST but right click the .exe file and select install as administrator. This will solve your issue and flash back to stock. Make sure you follow the normal process of selecting the .dll and .bin files.
Let me know if this helped.

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.

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.

Something weird happens when I try a different ROM or updating the current ROM I'm on.
Everything changes to "unknown" imei, network, etc.
I restore a backup and everything is perfectly fine.
I have tried going back to stock and re-rooting the device, once I flash a ROM everything goes to "unknown".
What I've tried:
Returning to stock and re-rooting
Switched recoveries (tried both cwm and Twrp)
Made sure downloads weren't bad (both ROM and gapps)
Made sure recoveries were up to date

Almost certain it's a known issue with 4.3 and our device.

So I guess its flash a ROM, cross your fingers and hope everything doesn't say "unknown"? That sucks lol.

I second this.
Some reported that after rebooting several times, everything returned to normal. It is very weird, but in this case the IMEI is not lost, it's just the O/S isn't reading it for whatever reason.
If rebooting doesn't eventually help, you could try using nvrestore. But just about everyone has said an Odin flash back to stock solved it.

I'll have to try rebooting a few times the next time it happens.
Yes going back to stock does resolve the issue. I was going to Odin back to stock (once again), instead I tried restoring from a back and everything was back to normal.
I was just wondering if this common, I will definitely try rebooting a few times the next time. Thanks Doc.

I decided to flash the ROM again and still had the same issue, went through the setup wizard and rebooted the device and everything went back to normal. Thank you DocHoliday77.

Anytime! Haven't seen him much lately but mt3g had this issue and it seemed that once he ran the reboot nvbackup command, it would fix itself after the first boot, whereas for others he said it was taking several attempts.
I think it was aerowinder that was also in that discussion with us so I credit the two of them for educating me on it. The two of them are usually who I learn the cm/aosp stuff from!
