Help stock or any touchwiz rom bug - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So I've tried every rom that was based off the official jellybean. I even tried the stock rom by using Odin and it is still giving me problems too. So far, on every rom, it skips the welcome page after it boots and goes directly to the system manager popup. After that, my homescreen is all messed up. Someone please help
I'm using TWRP btw

I've already tried stock lol. It doesn't work. I keep getting the same results

After you flashed stock on Odin did you do a factory reset? Try that. It should solve your problem.

I tried that. It gives me the same thing. It skips the welcome screen for the tw jb roms and then the system manager randomly pops up. After it pops up, I get these random texts shown in the picture on my home screen and sometimes I can't pull down the notification bar when that happens. It was working fine yesterday though.

Never mind, I found a fix. Just had to restore back to my old ics touchwiz rom and delete root. Then I used kies to update to jellybean.

Only have download?

Hey, I rooted my GS3 and installed cm10, but it was very buggy so I tried to reflash stock. As of right now I can get into download mode and that's it. I tried reflashing stock but idk if I'm doing it right.
How are you doing it?

Thanks for the quick reply! Through Odin, I've managed to hear the start tmobile sound but the screen stays black.
I'm not really sure what the problem is, but did you use the correct stock rom for Tmobile? And you did it through the download mode by holding down button, home, and power right? Just making sure it wasn't clockwork or twrp.

Did you do a factory reset in recovery?

I uses the unrooted, plain old tmo firmware. Yes, I see the "Downloading, do not turn off target!!" message.

I am unable to access recovery.
If I could get to CWR I'd be okay.
I flashed an insecure boot and now it just stays at the glowing samsung logo.
That's one of the reasons flashing back to stock can be hard. Try flashing the stock image that is injected with a custom recovery (cwm I believe) found in the developers section.
Wiping during this operation is crucial so as not to get stuck in a boot loop

Barret,
Be patient. Wait for 3-5 minutes after boot.
Once it's done, see this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999922
Thanks everyone, here's how I fixed it:
I flashed the stock rom without auto reboot and then pulled the battery.
Then, I flashed CWR without auto reboot and pulled the battery again.
After that, I could get into CWR so I flashed cm10 and a different google apps package than last time.
I don't have any cm10 bugs now. It would crash acore alot and stock apps like messaging wouldn't work.
Thanks for the help everyone, I'm set now.

Do you know what was wrong with the first Google apps package that you flashed? Did you get the 4.1.2 one from goo.im?

Yeah, that's the one I used. Dialer, contacts, and messages would crash immediately and process.acore would stop responding constantly.
I tried Defy GAPPS instead and that worked.

I tried with PA, Codename Android, and CM10. They all pretty much don't stay connected to the wifi. I installed a touchwiz based custom rom cause those are the only ones that don't seem to have that problem. help please!!!
I'd really suggest you try and narrow down the issue. Really Odin back to stock and set up your phone. Do some speed tests with the stock ROM. And trst the WiFi. Don't just flash to stock and flash a ROM right away.

Lock up and restart alot?

anyone else having this prob. sometimes i will use a app and the screen will go black and unresponsive i can still turn the screen on and off wit the power button but it eventually restarts however it does the startup animations but does not make the sounds. any fix?
some history:
tooks some time but decided to root, once rooted the factory os would not boot. so i did the restore to factory flash with counter reset uploaded by a fellow member of xda and then did the flash to root.
now i have this prob.
What Rom did you flash to? Stock or something else? Also, Root method? Odin CVM, Flash root zip? just trying to see if there's anything that sounds odd or off other then the issue you described. I rooted with CVM Flash (odin) and zip root method.. Flashed The People's rom, No resets here.

Link me the rom please.
I have seen this a few times recently. I did not have that happen when I read on ICS. It only happened after I updated to lj7.
It is interesting to note that the phone appears to restart and recover but when I look at the uptime for android I see that it was not a full reboot.

Try flashing a different rom since you should have Recovery. See if it persist. Should be ok. My phone was stock for about 20 min lol.. So i couldn't tell you how stock runs or if it had any issues lol

See my latest post. I ran this on my OG Epic.. running it now. LOVE IT.
I've been encountering this lately also. I thought maybe it was just my phone. My back button becomes unresponsive sometimes as well. Maybe I'll do a full wipe and reflash a rom.
maybe sumthin up with super user? i noticed that when i open up flip board it says shell granted super user a **** load of times and wont let me do anything in flipboard.
I have lockups in landscape mode. And had to.pull.battery. is that when it happened?

Help I think my Note 2 is on it's last leg

so I don't know how it happened
but over the past couple weeks I've had a lot of trouble with my phone
I didn't notice any issues until I flashed Skynote
it started out as just my computer not recognizing it when connected via USB
but problems have escalated further now
for some reason if I try flashing touchwiz roms 1/2 the time TWRP crashes while doing it and if it doesn't it constantly hangs up during flashing(it took me almost 1/2 hour to flash ultimate internation rom last night)
If I get a rom running the phone is constantly hanging when going through the settings menu.. or if an app is installing it will lock up totally for like 5 seconds
I've formatted thru twrp, I wipe the system every time. I've tried countless factory resets
nothing seems to be helping
anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Probably something corrupt or misplaced. Flash stock to using odin. That should fix it

I have faced similar issues twice after changing a rom. The only way back to stability was to odin a stock firmware on to the note II and then to re-root, re-install a custom recovery and reflash the rom.
You can use this thread to get the files to odin back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844
Give it a try. . . it helped me!
thanks for the help guys
seems to be running well on stock......I'm gonna put it through it's paces for a while before I get my hopes totally up though
I think I'm just gonna keep it like this until we get some 4.2.2 touchwiz roms
hopefully with 4.2.2 coming out in the coming days the wait wont be too long

Try CWM recovery, not twrp....I never use twrp, , always hearing issues with people using that recovery method...Some phone's just don't like it..lol
And like Greg stated...most phones need a thorough cleaning every now and then to get the bugs out.
With TWRP its always good to have the latest version... it can really make a difference
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I prefer using CWM to flash ROMs on my device. I Always had problems flashing zips on my phone using TWRP recovery. It gave me a headache that I had to use the emergency firmware recovery in kies to revert to stock and reset my flash count. Do try flashing in CWM recovery instead and see what's the result.

Having issues with stock rom

I have my sisters s4 and it has given me nothing but problems. It was set to stock and it wasn't rooted or anything and I'm still having issues. It freezes and hangs on forever and the background screen turns black even though I don't have a black background on it. After a while it resets randomly. I tried everything I could to get it running. I flashed the stock rom through odin like a million times and it's still having issues. I don't know if it's the phone or the stock rom or what but I just wanna get it running. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure what is wrong with your phone but you can root your phone and flash a custom ROM and it might work.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you still get issues after factory resetting and flashing with Odin, also try kies as a last resort or flash custom ROM as kriptik stated
