Google sync causes bootloop, wipe does nothing?

This morning I found my battery dead. When I got it to boot, it was bootlooping. I tried flashing, wiping, everything. Bottom line is if I sync to google, my phone goes into bootloop. Full data wipe in recovery does nothing, all my apps are there and work fine, flashing works fine. Tried installing twrp, same thing.
Any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas? Could this be a hardware problem?

Guess I'll try going back to stock when I get home. Unfortunately I could never get mtp to work properly.

Sounds like a bad ROM you are using.
Does it use the CM GAPPS file?
You can try flashing CyanogenMOD's latest GAPPS and i bet that would fix it.

Tried many different ROMs, that was not the problem. Wipe didn't work, even the native factory reset. Went fully back to stock and rerooted and it seems to be fixed. Still working on restoring things.

[Q] Factory reset disabled wifi performance?

I'm going to double check it's not just the specific relationship with my router (which continues to work fine with all other devices)
but for now, since doing a factory reset my GN lost the ability to connect to the router.
No bars, not even grey. Changing SSID, turning off security, nothing helps.
The phone is TAKJU. Unlocked. Stock ROM. Was rooted with SuperSU.
Never had this issue before. I factory reset to be able to pass the phone along to someone else.
The only other thing I can think of was I installed Busybox before factory reseting, as some app needed it that was going to sync apps off to the new phone. Never ended up using it. Though I tried from within the app to uninstall Busybox and it said it was not successful...
But beyond that I'm sorta at a loss. Besides factory resesting what could I do? Re-flash the stock ROM?

Nevermind. Fixed it with stock re-flash. PROBABLY related to Busybox. Woops.

[Q] Updated to 4.3, now GApps continuously force closes

I went through from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, no problems, phone ran fine after update. Then went to 4.3, same thing. The phone was running fine so I booted back into recovery and removed Knox as well as manually rerooted by flashing SuperSU. Rebooted after that and still no problems, phone was running great. I then make a backup so I have a restore point of stock 4.3, rooted, and without Knox. I then go on and try to flash Dandroid and get a status 7 error and the phone was acting up after I rebooted.
At this point I go back to my backup and simply restore it and reboot again. The phone boots up, so that's a good thing. The problem is the GApps will not run and it continuously has a pop-up notification. The phone is rendered unusable like this. I got lucky once and was able to try and launch ROM Manager to see if fixing permissions would work, but it also closed. I tried flashing a 4.3 GApps package with no success and even tried reflashing the 4.3 update but got a status 6 error.
I'm at a loss here, does anyone have any ideas on this?

Not sure if this will help much, but even when plugged in via USB my computer will not recognize the device. The S3 states that it is connected and it does show up in Device Manager, it just won't show up as any kind of readable memory.
Trying to ADB sideload a rooted stock 4.3 ROM now. Any advice at all would be a help.
EDIT: I took a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ-eaQ_9mVI) of the problem so everyone can see what I'm talking about and I also found a fix.
I'm not sure what was causing it, but after a solid day of researching it online the closest thing I got was resetting app preferences and also trying to clear any data of Google apps. This seemed to sometimes slow the popups down for me or create a longer gap before they just came right back in full force. So, going off that small success I had managed to navigate my way over to Settings -> Accounts -> Backup and reset -> Factory data reset and ran that. The first boot after that took a very long time, I'd say a solid twenty minutes but it did work. No more error and everything has been going smooth for me since. A restore of apps with Titanium Backup also did not bring the problem back up again, so the device seems to be good as new again.
I apologize if any of these is out of line, I just thought I would follow up with a solution in case anyone else has this problem and can't seem to fix it. Maybe this will help them.

[Q] [Help] I was on the Davandh Rom Kit Kat 4.4

I have a UVUEMK2. I had to get the phone encrypted for work, little did I know it would cause issues. I would have to go back to stock for the work email to work. Wouldn't sit well with root.
I backed up everything and tried to remove encryption before doing ODIN to no avail. No one really knew how to remove encryption. I tried factory data resets, and finally I tried to ODIN my stock firmware but now that's stuck on the T-Mobile 4G LTE Boot Screen.
I went into recovery and tried to factory data reset from there, but somethings fail because of the encryption. I did it anyways, wiped data at least. Reboot > Still Stuck, but no encryption screen this time?
Now I flashed the same stock firmware again, if anyone knows what to do or how to remove encryption that would be awesome. Right now I can only access recovery and download mode.
I don't need anything from the phone, everything is backed up.
It was rooted, on Davandh 4.4.4 Kit Kat. Encryption from the security settings. Baseband UVUEMK2.

[Q] System UI has stopped working

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum. My HTC Desire 300 is not rooted in anyway. Lately I've been experiencing problems with the System UI. It suddenly stopped working one day, and from then on, the notification bar never worked properly again. It comes back at random times, but even trying to pull it down will make it crash. Swiping a notification away and even just doing nothing to it will cause it to crash. I don't know why this is happening. I've tried factory reset, hard reset, battery pull, booting in safe mode, scanning for viruses, literally everything I can. Nothing works. Booting the phone up will show the error message and sometimes the error message will come up every few seconds then eventually stop and I never see it again until I restart the phone or shut it down and turn back on. Can somebody please help? I'm running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

I know that this in not best solution but you could try factory reset. You'll lose all of your data but you mobile should work normally.
Right now I have problem with Bluetooth and planing on doing same thing (or maybe try different ROM ).

I wish I could fix it by factory reset, but I've literally done it like 5 times. Nothing works. I still get the same error. I've also tried clearing the cache for system UI app in the "all apps" list, but there is no data on the System UI app, it says 0.00B. I can't clear any cache or data. And I also notice that sometimes System UI app will run in the "running apps" list, but it is "restarting", and it seems like it fails to restart because it is always restarting.

How can I fix my ROM? My phone is not rooted and I have never modded it and installed any ROMs on it. Right now I'm just using 2 notification apps on the Play Store so that I get some sort of notification. But it's just not the same as the notification bar itself. I'm tempted to buy another phone, but when I was looking this problem up on the Internet, it seems like many phones, even the new and good ones get the same problem. So I'm really hesitating.

Did you try to do factory reset from Android or boot loader? Maybe other reset will do the trick.

Uhm what do you mean by bootloader? I think I've attempted to unlock my bootloader but I never actually did it. So I don't think I unlocked my bootloader. But I don't know how to factory reset by bootloader or by other ways that you are talking about. The way I do the factory reset is through my phone's system settings > Backup & reset > Reset phone. I've also tried hard reset.

I mean from default recovery not bootloader. Sorry, my bad.
