X crashes all processes upon startup

Hi Xda,
I was working on putting a custom ROM on my one x as a result of it being slow.
everything started out fine, bootloader was unlocked fairly easy, gaining perm root as well.
however after a couple of tries I haven't been able to get a custom rom working properly. it will start up the system, passed the startup, then as soon as the first start screen opens up, every possible process starts crashing. (the only really visible crash is com.android.phone, however as soon as I click "ok" it will pop-up again within a second)
I've done the following:
Remove lock,
gain root access,
install CWM
downloaded ROM and Gapps (put it on the SD card)
performed a full wipe (Dalvik Cache, factory Reset)
install ROM and Gapps.
after this the problems started occurring.
a few solutions i tried:
1. I've retried the above process and included the boot.img loading using fastboot, then clearing the cache again.
2. I've wiped all possible data using the "superwipescript"
3. tried a different ROM which gave me the exact same errors.
atm i'm getting desperate because I've run out of options.
Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks in Advance!

Have you flashed boot.img via fastboot?

this might be a silly question, but it's not an AT&T one x? there have been a few of those here who shouldn't be here.
if it isn't...then check your HBOOT version

Does your hboot meet the required version for the ROM You flashed ?

No i'm on the international one x (Dutch, T-Mobile)
my HBOOT Version is 1.39.0000
I've tried installing Paranoid Android 3.10 and 3.15 and ICJ422
Is that the correct version?

Yes. You have the latest hboot.

Make a clean wipe manually twice
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache, data, system
Then install the rom

I've tried the above but it gives the same exact error. as soon as the systems has started up it gives: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" when i press ok there is a second error about messages but i'm not able to read this since the first message will pop up again.
should I start to get worried by now?

Which roms did your try??? :S
I was having the same problem on Paranoid Android... not all the time like you but 4-5 times a day... Changed to ICJ and everything is stable now! Also make sure you have flashed the proper gapps...

felt only happy for a while, but back to problems now.
the ROM takes an hour to boot on average and won´t let me make any calls. besides the settings menu will crash as soon as I try to open anything.
I´m going to try another Sense based ROM now and will see what happens next!

[Q] My S3 is stuck on the logo after using CWM. Odin not working please help

Alright, im not completely new to rooting but I have encountered a new problem.
I rooted my phone through odin (galaxy s3 T999), had some hiccups with that so I ended up downloading the stock rom tar and reflashed using that, problem solved good to go still rooted. awesome.
So, I attempted to flash the cyanogen rom using clockwork mod. it wouldn't come past the load screen, went into clockwork mod to recover my backup but for some reason it wouldn't let me access the SD card to get it. next thought was to go back to odin and flash the same file I used previously to get back to where I was, for some reason this is not working, I can get to download, use odin to flash it, says success and all that, then upoon rebooting it stays at the Samsung loading screen.
So from there I went and downloaded the GS3 toolkit and tried all of their recovery files, all having the same issue. about 18 flashes later I tried reformatting from the phone itself, same issue with the samsung logo being stuck. And now, I am currently baffled, anyone wanna help me out? I have a feeling it has something to do with the .pit option on odin, but I am not that advanced and its just a hunch. so...thanks in advance guys!
So I understand not to touch pit, roger, reading other posts makes that clear, but still cant find a fix, the top right of my download says
ODIN MODE
Product Name SGH-T999
Custom Binary yes: 19 counts
Current Binary Samsung Offical
System Status Custom
Qualcomm secureboot Enable

Okay, what is the current state of the device?
Whst do you see when you boot into recovery ( take battery out of phone the put it back in and do the following: hold volume up, home button and power button, let go of all buttons when you feel the phone vibrate and blue text flashes in the upper left corner of the screen)?

I just tried to send a rom over that had CWM 6.0.2.3 and it installed that, but still stuck on logo. going into recovery I am in CWM 6.0.2.3
have the standard options wipe/factory, install from zip etc.

You flashed a rom that had cwm 6.0.2.3 or did you flash a rom while on 6.0.2.3?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'd say about 98% of the time, when it hangs like that you just need to factory reset.

Flashed a rom that had 6.0.2.3. I do not have any roms on my ZIP, been doing everything through ODIN. Very confused as to why it suddenly stopped working.

tried to factory reset and it does the same logo stuck business. That was the last thing i tried after attempting to back up and reflash numerous times. tried flashing again recently, it will install CWM if it is attached to the rom but still gets stuck on the logo. tried re installing odin as well, it is working as usual, starts, restarts the phone, sits awhile, success. then i restart the phone and never get past logo.

I would do what Doc said.
If it still doesnt work, download a rom of your choice (in the t-999 section) and do a full wipe before flashing the rom you picked.

When flashing a new rom, you have to do a full wipe or youll run into problems like you are currently having.
If you dont know what a full wipe is, then stop what you are doing and put your phone down. Just about every rom thread here on xda explains what a full wipe is, it will be in the first post of the thread.
Like I said, find a rom you like in the t-999 section and flash it after doing a full wipe.

Looked it up, that is what I do by default, didn't know thats what was considered a full wipe, just tried it with similar results, didn't know about the dalvik cache though. im on a work computer so I cannot currently DL a new rom from the site, I hope thats what the issue is, but I still cannot see why my other ones would suddenly not work.

I'm just not sure what you mean by it installing CWM attached to a Rom? Recoveries shouldn't be included with a Rom.
Odin flash the root66 firmware, then reboot to STOCK recovery and factory reset. This will wipe all user data, including your internal sd card. Then try rebooting again.

Have you tried booting to recovery, then doing an advanced wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik) and reflashing rom/gapps?
What version of recovery are you using?

yes, i have. I also got back to stock, used an older recover, flashed with an older version of CM and nothing. I first was using CWM 6.0.3.7., after that I used 6.0.4.3, then an older version of TWRP but nothing. I also tried booting to system without flashing gapps.
With stock ROM everything works just fine.

Well, thank you, but it didn´t work.

it happened to me the same thing months ago. never had solution. still in waiting. attempt internal and external SD format. and followed the same. I hope someday they can come up with the solution! : (

i have the same problem too

I try to install multiple ROM 4.2.2 and I could only install one version AOKP Milstone JB1. I also worked the other. however all 4.1.2 rom if I worked. I could not install any 4.3 and 4.4 now does not know what is the problem but I've tried everything! anyone found the solution yet but I see I'm not the only one! (excuse my bad English, not my language )

Well you all are right, I am also using shadow mastery (stock rooted rom). Just because I had the same problem sometimes stucking and rebooting and sometimes after going in gallery. Even I can't use 4.3 and 4.4 roms. Anyone have to contact with room developer or someone who know about this problem.

You might want to find an Official T-Mobile or Telus 4.1.2 or 4.0.3/4.0.4 rom that is Odin flashable, not one that has been custom made/flashable from recovery - then just start over after getting back to true stock, change to TWRP or CWM recovery that is 4.3+ compatiable, root and then flash rom/gapps etc.

Problem with twrp, Lots of fail to flash

Lately I'm getting a lot of fail to flash in tarp recovery, the latest one for flo.
I have nothing spécial on it , only plain stock rooted.
Sometimes when i want to try another ROM or whatever that needs to be flashed in recovery I get a fail to flash.
I don't know why, any advice?

What is the specific error you encounter?

Wipe cache, dalvic, data, and system. Then back out to main menu. Go to reboot, recovery. When it prompts you to root, click not now. When it re boots into recovery, flash away.

I too find that when I try to flash update from 4.3 to 4.4.2 using twrp, it fails.
Is there no way to do it without wiping my data? That would be a pain!
I'm on rooted stock rom.

How can I flash new rom?

Am I out of luck with the OPG? Is there a way to flash a new rom or am I stuck with 4.1.2?
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

Addendum: I started with my phone showing E98010p. After the grand f.u.b.a.r. my phone shows E980g.
But I've not been able to flash.. It was easy to do when I had the otherwise insufferable Samsung <blech> Galaxy Note 2.
With the OPG, I place the rom file on my external, I go into recovery (cwm 6.4.7), I wipe it all, toggle loki, install).
Then after reboot, phone stuck on LG screen.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

Why are you toggling loki?

Because that's the only way I can get the zip to install. Without toggling, the install aborts.
But even when the rom installs, I can't actually reboot to the new rom, it just gets stuck on LG screen.

Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I got it working but only after using madmack TWRP. And I had to toggle Loki to disabled INSIDE the TWRP recovery before installing the zips.
Noticed that I capitalized the word " inside" ? ?
Some of the people here, if they were trying to explain, would not think it important to include that Nuance.

What recovery are you using?
I started with CWM that FreeGee puts on. Install aborts. Then using that same recovery, I toggle Loki to disable. Rom will install, but after rebooting either hangs on LG screen or keeps going back to recovery.
Then I used the TWRP that came with Freegee, but none of the touch buttons would respond while trying to use the TWRP.
Fortunately, I was told to use madmack's TWRP.
I first had to install that one which I did successfully by using the CWM recovery by Freegee. Freegee's CWM doesn't bootloop whenever just installing a recovery.
So once inside this TWRP, I was able to flash rom by toggling Loki to disable, then after flashing rom and gapps, I toggled Loki back to enable and everything was good.
I must add though that my battery life with CM 10.2 is just downright horrible. I'm considering just going back to stock.

I've used both CWM and TWRP... Both from FreeGee, never any problems. As far as battery life, have you tried madmack's modem?
