[Q] Samsung I9000 force close

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...

Cyanogen mod, cannot get google apps to load

I am loving cyanogen, but I am definitely missing something when I flash google apps. I get to the installation, but when I try to install it always gets interrupted. I try to skip it, but I cannot get back to it later, opening market does not work. How am I supposed to come back to install gapps later?

Re-download the gapps.zip, put it on your SD card, go into cwm > flash gapps.zip > reboot.
It should work. If not, then extract the zip and copy the .apks one-by-one to your SD card, and push them to your system/app. Not sure if that would actually work, but it's possible.

Reflashing doesn't do anything I just tried it again. The only way to get it to try installing again is to wipe data, then I have to sign back in and I get interrupted again. There is a way to cancel it to come back later but when I hit cancel I can't figure out how to come back.

you're making sure to flash the gapps.zip from the cwm recovery, right? it has to be on the root of your sdcard, then boot into recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip" -> scroll to gapps.zip

Yep I am doing it that way, just tried again right now and nothing happens on reboot unless I do a factory reset. If I just knew how to come back to it later it would be ok

1. Clear data, dalvik, cache - rinse and repeat 3 times total.
2. Re-odin EH17 stock, found in the dev forum. Let the phone boot to startup.
3. Boot into CWM recovery, flash the GAPPS file.
4. Restart phone - check to see if the flash took.
5. Boot into CWM recovery, clear dalvik, cache 3 times, flash CM7 over EH17 stock...
Let me know if this process works for you.
May or may not work, it would solve the problem temporarily for me but would soon have problems. I shortly moved away from CM7 to Urban Metamorphosis.

OK, thanks I might give that a try, if it was just a temporary fix for you though it will probably only work for a while for me too. Doesn't anyone know how to postpone running it? It says to do so right when the app runs, but no one knows how to do it?

You don't need to flash the GAPPS pack - only if you want to use the market, sync contacts etc. and use voice/maps so on. If you continually cannot get past try ODIN'ing a different modem. EH06 worked much better for me over EH17.

I'm uing eh06 modem. Never went to eh17
Anyways, I downloaded all the gapps from the market one by one. I flashed the zip and they didn't show up so I did it the long way

Not sure if you are doing the install correctly
Lets review...
You run a Titanium Backup backup [or other app based backup not talking nadroid here].
You restart to recovery
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvick Cache
Go to Mounts and storage [CWM] and format /System AND /Data
You go back to main menu
You Flash the ROM
You Flash GApps Pack [there is a 2013.01.08 I have seen that is specifically for 4.2 and not 4.1 BTW]
You restart and let it boot and wait at least 5 min before touching the phone
You then download and install Titanium Backup Open it, grant root
Then you Restored ONLY User apps and data [be sure to NOT RESTORE ANY SYSTEM APPS OR DATA]
This should have you running fine if this is your process.
If you are using TWRP and used the advanced backup/Restore to restore only /data by unchecking the other stuff this WILL NOT WORK it will restore the original /data and anything new your new install placed in /data will be removed and prolly why there is a problem.
If this is the only type of backup you now hoave if you download titanium backup pro [like $6 USD] then it as an advanced option can read out things from a nandroid backup done by either TWRP or CWM and restore apps based on the data there and the only way you should restore from that back DO NOT use TWRP to restore /data.
Basically TWRP images the entire partition and just puts that back exactly as it found it before whereas runnin titanium installs the apps back WITHOUT affecting anything that is new and already present [unless its a user app that exists in the backup and was installed by the ROM then you may end up with an older version, but then if that does happen don't panic open market and go to my apps [open market hit menu key tap my apps] and it should list any and all updates based on what is currently installed and can then update the affected app maintaing your user data that was restored by the titanium restore process., but it should warn about newer and older apps I believe.
TWRP method is good, but only if using same exact ROM and you had an issue [you deleted something wrong and caused a problem or otherwise need the data back EXACTLY as it was before, and disregarding any changes since].

Ok I did all that besides the go to mount part in recovery an when I reinstalled my user apps an data I rebooted back into recovery after it sat for an 5-10 min

Do the mount part and format both /system and /data. After restore to be absolutely thorough if you restart to recovery then have it wipe cache and dalvick cache one more time [should not be needed but may help].
You should ALWAYS format /system [and cache and dalvick cache] when flashing ANY ROM [ be it a different one or an updated version] and you really should do /data as well; though as long as it is a compatible ROM [JB to a different JB for instance] you may not need to wipe /data, but if you notice odd issues not helped by usual fixes [like my Swype stopped using the user dictionary and re-installing the app completely did not help only re-flashing my ROM and being sure to wipe both /system and /data and re-building from ground up [re-downloading my apps via market>My Apps [swipe My Apps screen to the left and there is a list with EVERY app you ever downloaded in the order it was downloaded which can help] fixed it [usually happens about once every month-ish little issues build until I can't stand one and format /data on an install]. Kinda personal pref on that, but if moving to a New ROM you really should try to do a Titanium backup and still wipe /data as ROMs do install some things there.

Ok I'll do that an thanks

[Q] I think i softbricked my galaxy s3.... help please?

Hello, i am a new user here i came into this forum to get help from people.
I was messing around with r/w and r/o related stuff and accidentally moved something in permissions in a folder named /system i think it read something like rw-r-r after i moved it but that wasn't the format i saw before i moved it also everything started not working as soon as i pressed apply for example (Unfortunately -insert any app or program here- has stopped working)... please help
Also my phone vibrates when its connected but no LED lights are on.
Although the orange light did turn on ONCE and the charging battery too when i rebooted or turned phone off from recovery mode... i don't know how it happened
Here is what is happening to my Galaxy S III phone (SPRINT 4G LTE)
I can go into download mode
I can go into Recovery mode
Odin3 doesn't detect my phone (i assume its cuz i moved the r/w and r/o stuff... and jacked everything up)
Wiping data doesn't fix anything
Neither does cache

Does your computer recognize the phone? You have recovery, which 1? if you can see your internal memory and external sd, you should be able to copy ROM and flash. after wiping completely. of course.

Since you can get into recovery just wipe cache and davlik and reflash your rom.

Thats the thing i dont know how to wipe davlik and reflash a rom

Wipe dalvik cache: Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe cache: Mounts and format > Format /cache
Reflash rom (you really shouldn't be messing with stuff if you dont know how to reflash your rom):
Boot into recovery and go to Install > Navigate to folder where your rom is stored > Select it > Confirm / Hit yes / Hit install and slide the bar (TWRP only)
Wait for it to finish, then reboot

It's all in recovery. And just some advice, you shouldn't do anything to your phone unless you know how to fix it. I use twrp recovery and all wipe options are in the wipe menu.

problem is that there is no Advance option. I think my phone goes into its normal Recovery mode. i think the root that it had doesnt work anymore.

The root can not change because you messed with permission, also you should be able to go into your custom recovery, which one do you have? Do you know how to 3 finger into recovery? If you can get into recovery first thing I would do is wipe dalvik, wipe cache and fix permissions and see if it boots. If not then what everyone else said flash a Rom.
Are you sure that is all you did?

Yeah I think he means that he has stock recovery...
If you can get into download mode, just flash a stock rom and start from scratch. Or you can ODIN a custom recovery and then make a backup so that at least your data is safe

Oh ok that kind of gives me hope i guess... and as for the the root i had Supersu. I do know how to go into recovery mode/ODIN mode its volume+/volume-, home and power. Odin3 doesnt detect it though. Also i cant go into advance there is no option for advance like i mentioned earlier. There is only 4 options
Rebootsystem now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

Volume down power and home gets you into download like you are now., you want volume up, power and home to get into custom recovery. If you rooted your device properly you should have CWM or TWRP installed as one of the two available custom recoveries.

Ok i installed odin3 1.85 and got a CF autoroot.tar file (idk if i can post full file name)
Odin detected my phone perfectly, applied the .tar file using PDA i just waited how it told me i never touched the boxes on the left unless it told me to.
Then my phone went black and some letters came just like a normal successful root.
My phone rebooted and went home rooted.
it worked perfectly i was satisfied until today i accidentally moved those permissions dealing with r/w r/o Rw-r-r on the folder /system.

Ok to clear thing up you rooted your phone for the first time so you were on stock rom and never applied a custom recovery . Correct?

Looks like when i connect it. it vibrates and every time it vibrates it disconnects or something cuz the messages of (Device not recognize) Keep popping up and the computer makes a noise as if something connected.

[Q] 4.3 Update, Stuck in CWM Recovery Loop

I woke up this morning to find that I had a system software update. I thought it might be the new 4.3 update that's been getting pushed out so I select to install the update. After the phone turned off to reboot, my CWM recovery screen popped up and stayed there. I recieved a message telling me that the update failed to complete and now I'm stuck in this never-ending loop. I've wiped the Delvik cache, I've done a factory reset/wipe cache and have rebooted the system multiple times. Does anyone know what I should do? Anyone else had this problem? I've heard that Nexus users are experiencing issues with the new update.

It's not 4.3

It might be CWM that's causing the update issue.
Press and hold the Power button for 20 sec. That should turn it off. If it still loops, turn it off again, try to get into recovery or download mode. If recovery, flash a stock Rom. If download, well you know.

I tried what you suggested but still not getting anywhere. I'm pretty new to rooting and recoveries, so not sure what I'm doing wrong. The only screen I get is what reads 'CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5'. I'm not positive that I have a download mode either. The options I have are as follows:
-reboot system now
-install zip from sdcard
-install zip from sideload
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
Any ideas?

If you have a backup on your SD you could restore. If you have a ROM, install it. Make sure to wipe /system, /cache, /dalvic, and /system. I'm not sure about CWM, but the wipe system might be in mounts and storage, or advanced.
If you have nothing on your SD, you'll need to sideload a stock ROM. Get the odexed or deodexed roms.
If nothing works go to the teeny bin thread, under Additional info will show you how LGNPST.

OK. If restore won't work, then try installing a stock ROM. If not on your SD then use that "install zip sideload. " Your other options are to use teenybins or zvb/zvc.bins through LGNPST.
