Hey guys, so I have a weird issue I've never had before. When flashing new ROMs, the email app force closes, when trying to fix permissions on recovery, it fails with an error message that says "failed to chmod com.android.email". I delete the app, and the data in the data/data folder, and then permissions are fixed successfully. This happens on any ROM that I flash, I've tried reverting to stock but the issue persists. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should Odin stock. Oh, and factory reset!
Ok, I've tried it before, but not sure if I wiped data before doing so. I tend to use mobile Odin because I'm not near a computer all the time, can one wipe data when flashing with mobile Odin?
Edit: yes I can, but only on pro version

Yep, it's under the Wipe area. But I would drop to recovery for a factory reset. I'm not sure what the "factory reset" in wipe data/factory reset implies, if anything.

You might have flashed a stock rooted one

Make sure you download the stock firmware from Samsung updates website and odin
Should return it to 100% stock

Yeah bro, Odin doesn't wipe everything. You need to factory reset first through cwm and I would recommend formatting /system. Then Odin to stock and you will be "unrooted"

i think that option is in "advance".
I agree wit the second post, flash with rooted ROM and then go TWRP to flash any other ROM.

Formatting /system is under mounts in CWM. And why the heck would you Odin a pre-rooted image first? He wants to unroot not re-root

Hello all I'm having a weird issue that I am Not sure if its normal or not. I am currently un rooted un modified haven't done anything to the phone since out of the box it is fully stock. I boot into recovery and it says no command then says error then the options popup. When I click the option to clear cache it just says error and reboots without accomplishing the task. Although when I hit factory reset it works. Is this normal behavior? This is my second s4 and I recall being able to do this with no problems on my other device. But I'm not sure why it's giving me error in stock recovery just from trying to wipe cache.. Anybody can confirm this being normal?

I never had any problem like that with stock recovery. Have you updated to the MDL firmware?
Yea I'm on the latest stock firmware..all official no root nothing. Hasn't been touched. I got the phone like this. Factory resets work fine.. Its just clearing the cache says error and causes reboot

I took my stock GSIII and rooted and installed hyperdrive, but texting was really awful, and battery was bad so I proceeded to reinstall. Didn't work. So I flashed one of the rooted stock firmwares from the root no tripping flash counter thread. Now its worse. i cant get in to the app drawer it always just says that android.core or something like that has stopped and proceeds to kick me out. At this point I am done and just want to have rooted stock then use triangle away and then flash pure stock and end up with a good warranty, pure stock phone, any help?
Did you wipe your cache/data factory reset every time you flashed?

Yeah...
repeat the process: wipe data and cache in recovery then boot into download mode. flash the correct stock firmware via odin with "auto reboot" unchecked. when you get a "pass", pull the battery. reinsert the battery and immediately press the recovery button combo. once in, wipe data and cache again. reboot. report back.
This has happened before 2 months ago and I posted a thread but nobody could help. My phone will get to about 15% and then cut off. When I try charging it, it will say its charging but the battery will just drop. I know its the phone itself because I've used 2 different chargers and 4 different batteries yet the problem continues. Yesterday it cut off on me and I couldn't get it to come on no matter what I tried. I am rooted running a stock ROM but I feel like this a hardware problem rather than software problem.

Right now its at 4% for like 5 mins while charging.

If Odining stock (+factory reset) won't fix it, and another battery won't fix it, not sure what we can do for you?
Factory reset will delete everything want it?

You need to be using CWM or TWRP to do this. And make sure it's up to date. 6.0.3.1 and 2.6.0.0 respectively. Also, ensure that your device is a SGH-T999 by removing the battery and checking the sticker. If it's not, you're about to brick your phone.
Make a nandroid.
Factory reset.
Wipe system.
Wipe dalvik cache (wipe cache also if factory reset didn't do this)..
Flash ROM (I like Dandroid, but if you're used to stock, S3Rx will work for you).
Flash LJC firmware from the firmware link in my sig (mnasledov). It's a recovery flashable Odin package, basically (without /system). It won't overwrite anything you've done to this point. Yes, we're using an MD5-based ROM with LJC firmware.
Reboot.
If it's still happening, you can install BetterBatteryStats and post a log for analysis.

BetterBatteryStats log.
I cant flash a rom and have it work. I have tried several ROMS like aokp, jedi, smooth, jellybeans, etc and they almost always brick. Jedi worked but google services crashed back to back to back to the point where i couldnt even use the phone. does anyone know of a 4.3 rom that works on att sgh-i317?? i basically went down the list on galaxynote2root.com and tried them all but no success.
I have root, have TWRP installed and flash the rom and it bricks. i factory reset first, then install and nothing.
any ideas?
All of the roms on this forum work.. What are your exact steps?

Have they been tried on sgh-i317?
I did these exact steps:
Rooted phone and installed TWRP recovery
put AOKP Rom on SD card and booted into recovery mode
Wiped/Factory reset through recovery
rebooted into recovery
installed AOKP ROM
booted and bricked- hangs at "X" aokp bootup screen
Have you installed gapps after flashing an aosp rom? I am running carbon rom right now... Earlier today I was on aokp. I have used them all and I have a I317. An att note 2

does not having the gapps installed prevent the phone from booting? ive booted a rom before without gapps and it booted.
was there something wrong with my steps? did you use the aokp milestone or nightlies? where did you get the carbon rom? its all good?
I used the latest aokp nightly. And right now I'm running the newest carbon nightly. I got it from the op of the carbon thread.

I'm using the latest version of twrp recovery. Try updating it?

Download your rom and gapps again using a PC...
Then place the files to your SD using a card adapter if no USB connection is possible...
Then fully wipe the device again from within the latest version of TWRP recovery and flash the new downloads ...
You may have a bad flash ...and you are not bricked...g

I did those exact steps and it did not work. i tried flashing pac man rom the last time and it got stuck in a boot loop too. I think there are some files that are corrupt or some temp files somewhere that are preventing a successful flash. my binary flash count was 9. and that was just on this run, ive tried flashing several times before. each time the only way to recover it is hooking the phone up to a pc and using kies to flash back to stock firmware. this sucks.
What version of twrp are you using? I have never had this issue you are having and I have flashed every rom on this forum for our device.

9 counts ??
Uh....yeh...not right ...
Have you messed with device partitions in ODIN ??
If so...something is definitely wrong ...
At this point ...you may want to consider a full return to stock and allow the PIT to properly restore your partitions..
Just follow the return to stock guide (sticky )...in the general section ..
Once restored to stock with a corrected flash counter you can begin again using CF auto root as your root method..
It sounds as if you have root issues and possible partition damage...
One other step you can try first is to boot into download mode and re-root using CF...
That may help....but certainly won't hurt anything...then attempt a clean flash again..
If it fails ...then the return to stock and rooting again seems prudent ...g

Ok ill try that. When I do the sticky method is that different than using kies to flash to stock? Kies is supposed to wipe everything and reload stock firmware. I agree the partitions are corrupt somewhere

Are u wiping data and system as well in recovery. If you're running TW and u switch to AOSP without wiping everything.....the results most likely wouldn't b pretty

Kies is not the method I use in returning to stock...as I don't trust it..
Odin is my first choice ...
Using Odin to flash a factory rom will wipe everything as well ...and is far more reliable ...IMHO...g

OK, so i followed these steps perfectly and it did not work. GOt Stuck in a boot loop again. something is corrupt. i used the latest version of clockwork mod and tried to install the latest AOKP nightlies. :crying:
Alright ...
Do you mean that you returned to stock ??
And have rooted again ...??
If yes ..we can dig deeper ...and if not ...proceed with full unroot...g

I used the sticky on turning your phone back to stock which used odin. I followed that list perfectly which said to flash stock using odin, root using cf then using triangle away, then super user to fully unroot. Then I installed clockword mod recovery, booted to recovery mode, cleared all cache and davlik and factory reset again, then installed the aokp and it got stuck in a boot loop

Here's what I do with twrp when flashing a rom.
Go to wipe menu and then advanced wipe and select dalvik, cache, data, system and internal(optional). I do it three times to make sure. then flash your rom with gapps (if aosp)
