[Q] Strange problem with ROM, CWM not working - Sony Xperia M

Some time ago, I've tried to download some game from android market, but shortly after it finished, "process.google.acore has stopped" appeared. After showing up rapidly a few times, the error forced my phone to shut down.
After rebooting (CM 11 installed with 6.0.4.8 CWM) and unlocking the screen lock, the error showed up again. After dismissing it, I got another "google.process.gapps has stopped" and then "google Keep has stopped". Some seconds later, there was an error notification in the status bar (backup account needed) and another bunch of errors. I was unable to even get to the drawer, because the erorrs were showing one after another instantly. Finally, the phone crashed (I think...) by suddenly displaying cyanogenmod boot screen (it was stuck this way for 3 hours before the battery ran out). I tried rebooting it again a few times, but with the same outcome every time.
My first guess was to re-flash CM11. After full wipe and install from zip (no errors) the phone booted up... right into the system I was using minutes before, with the same wallpaper, pattern lock, theme and problem described above. Then, I tried some solutions found online such as:
1. flashing CWM (no effect; even worse, when I tried flashing older version to see if anything changed, it was still the newest one!)
2. flashing diffrent ROM (liquid-smooth, no effect, still CM11)
3. flashing stock kernel
4. flashing stock ROM
I gave up for two weeks, but today I tried again flashing CM11, but I received status 7 error (liquid-smooth got "some syslinks are missing")
I'm slowly running out of ideas, now I just want my phone to run ANYTHING. Please help me, because I think I tried every solution from XDA and nothing worked.

what happen when you flash stock rom via flashtool?

No effect, CM11 still shows up after boot

Isn't the syslinks problem due to a broken NAND memory? That's what I've gathered from the problems cropping up recently.
The best thing to do is contact the ROM developer.

Constant Crash & Loop

I have been running PA for months and have had 3.99 RC2 running for about 2 months and all of a sudden I updated an App from the Play Store which crashed the phone. (The App was Marvel Puzzle Quest)
Anyways the phone will load to the launcher and then crash after 5 seconds and this just non-stop repeats.
I then used WugFresh's Toolkit to install Stock 4.2.2 and I still am having the same issue.
Does anyone know how to fix this or has the phone finally kicked the bucket?

Wipe data, cache, dalvik and maybe system in order to start over. Install a ROM with less customization (e.g. CM) to verify if your phone's really fried.
Simply using the toolkit may or may not leave your data partition untouched (where your updated app is), which might explain why the problem persists.

Currently do not have a custom recovery installed and cannot ADB to install one... I assume I could fastboot install CM and that may work
Well I just tried flashing TWRP using ADB and I get this error: FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILUnknown Partition in my bootloader at the bottom of the screen.
Edit: Well that error was from a Typo and I do have TWRP installed now but still not getting past my reboot loops
Edit 2: Well I was able to sideload PA 2.99 RC2 back onto the phone and after about 10 seconds playing around on the phone it crashes and restarts still.
Edit 3: Installed CR Droid and still running into the same reboots after the phone is running fine for about 5 to 10 seconds. (Also get an com.android.phone has stopped)
Edit 4: I noticed anytime in Wugs it gets to "Running a modified boot.img to run privileged commands" the phone always crashes and restarts.
Edit 5: It looks like the phone doesn't crash when it boots if I don't touch anything. So I tried copying over a file to the Internal Storage and it just names it Local Disk
Edit 6: Installed CM11 and still the same issue, it looks like this phone has finally kicked the bucket after almost 3 years of use T___T
Edit LAST: Well my Internal Storage seems to work fine with CM11 so I have a 32 GB flash drive now, at least I have that going for me I suppose....

[Q] Stuck on bootloader after changing screen density with Rom Toolbox

Hey guys. As the title suggests, I can't boot my Note 2 (sgh-i317). It is stuck on the AT&T logo and while it's stuck there it vibrates slightly every 5-6 seconds. I tried changing my screen density to 240 and it worked for a bit but annoed me. then I went to change it back and got this problem. I accidentally set it to 360 I think though, instead of 320. I have wiped the cache. I have wiped the data. I have installed roms countless times already with Odin. I'd imagine my reset counter is at over 10 just from today.
I've been searching on google and these forums for hours and have seen many suggestions, but none of them have worked. The farthest I have gotten was to get the phone to boot, but once I start going through all the setup stuff I begin getting error popups saying that Touchwiz home has stopped responding. As soon as I push OK the error immediately pops up again. I seriously can not do anything with my phone.
Is there any way to get a stock build.prop file somewhere for this phone, and if so, how would I install it if I can't even boot into the device?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have no idea where else to turn here. Thanks!

Do you have a backup to restore from recovery ??
If not....then power down the device and remove the SD card and place it into a PC card adapter...
Then download or copy over a suitable rom...
Then place the SD into the phone and boot into recovery...
Fully wipe the device and flash the rom of choice...
Reboot....set....profit....g
Edit:
Are you certain that your power button is not stuck ?
If the method I suggested fails... and rebooting occurs with vibration...then your power button is suspect....g

Thanks. Well I got it to boot finally, however there's been a couple issues since. It's on 4.1.2 right now...
1. Whenever I try to officially update to 4.3 through the settings, it downloads, then when installing it ALWAYS fails at 25%.
2. This is a big issue. My data connectivity is gone. I have no 4g access period. If I'm not using a wifi network, I can't do anything online, period. I've reflashed numerous times, and can't get it to recognize the network. I can make calls just fine, just no data.
I've tried wiping data and going to factory reset, but this doesn't help in any way whatsoever. I've popped out the battery and sim card and reinserted after a few minutes, still to no avail.
The funny thing also, last night my friend, who has the same phone, updated to 4.3 and got the EXACT issues I've been dealing with. The ONLY thing in common is that we have both rooted our phones in the past. When I first got 4.3 it worked fine. It wasn't until I rooted that these issues began. My friend's phone was not rooted, however it had been in the past. I'm thinking that this 4.3 update has an issue with phones that are rooted or have been at some time. I don't know how it can tell, but that's all I can think of. his phone now is also a doorstop, like mine.
K, fixed data connectivity from another thread here. For some reason, even if I wipe my system, it seems to still keep settings intact. In this case, nothing set in APN. Seems the more I try to fix my phone, the more problems show up.
If you updated to official 4.3...then yes ...a whole new host of problems are yours until the devs figure out the locked bootloader and it's knox flag...
Backups won't restore....and so forth...
Read around ....you'll see...g

Phone rebooting

I am having a weird problem,
I was using B513, it was working fine for a couple of days but then suddenly the phone started rebooting itself. The reboots went on for a while and then all was normal for a while. I used it and it was fine.
Then the reboots started again,, so i decided to change my rom. I installed B132 but it didnt even go to the phone setup. It rebooted after the Huawei logo. So then i installed B508 (chinese version),, the phone now boots up but whenever i try to unlock it,,, just placing the finger over the unlock sign reboots the phone. I have installed TWRP recovery but even in the recovery mode it is doing the same thing,,, whenever i touch any icon in the recovery ,,, the phone gets stuck and restarts...
Any help will be appreciated... Thanks
Hello
have you found a solution against rebooting ??
I had the same issue with B513 rom.
I tried to install a custom rom (omnirom) and i hoped this will solve my problem but not.
The phone with omnirom keeps rebooting, reboots 50-60 times / day.
in recovery mode my phone is stable, or if my son plays angry birds on it the phone works well. I tried to do some stress test, the phone became hot, but it was stable, so it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue.
I dont want to throw away my phone, but i cant use the phone anymore
Currently using B512,,, it is working but not that good
Reboots when i try to hold an icon on the homescreen or sometimes randomly reboots

I have half solved the problem.
try to go back the earlier firmware as possible..
if i remember well, the chinese B111sp1 worked me..
and upgrade step by step through factory upgrade process.. it will take a long time, go through B111-B112-B113 and so on.
and when the system says, there is no more upgrade package, i installed omni rom 4.4.4.
Now its running almost fine.. if i start the system the system say: google calendar has stopped working, clock has stopped working.. i have to press ok a few times, and all error message disappear..
then the phone works, only the settings freezes
settings - language input - advanced options - then i press back, i get: unfortunately, settings has stopped
but i can live with it, because i can make and receive calls.

i checkey my system with stress test, etc, everything was fine, i thought this must be a sw issue,
the final solution:
backup what you want to keep..
Install twrp.
download omnirom 4.4.4 and gapps 4.4.4
and copy to sd card
boot to twrp
format the system partition, wipe everything except sd card..
wipe all. the wipe and format is the most important thing, without wipe and format, the system will be unstable again.
install omni rom and gapps
reboot
and enjoy
My problem is a little more complex....
As you said to install a custom rom but that is the problem,,, not even TWRP works for me anymore. It reboots when i touch anything in TWRP,,
so i am assuming something else is the problem

Random restarts and then asking for a password (that doesn't exists)

Hello,
I'm having a weird issue with my Note 7 that I didn't have at all until tried to root for the first time....
It randomly restarts, sometimes is very often and sometimes it take a few hours to do it, but when it does it just restarts out of nothing and when Android loads again it asks me for a password that doesn't even exsits
"To start your device, enter your password" (Picture attached)
This started to happen after used the rootable kernel that was published before SuperSU 2.77 Beta but even reflashing the stock firmware, bootloader, modem, CSC it keeps doing it even when my Android is not yet configured (at the first Welcome screen before setting the phone up), so there is no password at all at this point. I've tried my Google account password, but it doesn't work.
This message is the same that comes up when you select "Secure Boot" so you need to enter a password or PIN to decrypt your data and be able to load it, but I don't have that option checked, and could not be checked when the phone is not even configured.
The way to work around this issue is flashing the no-verity-opt-encrypt mod that is not supposed to be needed anymore after SuperSU 2.77 has been released. So flashing this mod will get me into my Android home screen but it will eventually restart again and I need to flash this mod again.
This is what I've tried so far and it keeps happening:
- Flashed the rootable kernel when it was published and the no-verity mod. I formated data as indicated in the post. Then this problem appeared.
- Flashed stock firmware, bootloader, modem, csc thinking this would remove any trace of the mods I flashed, but kept happening.
- Factory reset from the Samsung recovery, had the "no verity" errors sometimes and sometimes not.
- Flashed other firmwares, bootloaders, modems, csc from other countries but for the same model N930F and kept happening.
- Flashed custom ROMs, formated system, data, everything.
- Flashed stock firmware again.
- Flashed custom ROMS again with the new SuperSU 2.77 and keeps happening.
I have done every single flash that actually exists for the Note 7 and formated everything with no luck....
Has anyone have this issue or had it at all at some moment? If so... How did you manage to get rid of this message?
I hope someone can help, If it was faulty phone I think it would restart at any point even in Recovery or Download mode, but only happens inside of Android.
Seems a common problem I think?

Yep, saw that post... But never seen anyone complaining about the phone asking for a password when reboots (only when it crashes) its like it was asking for a password to decrypt the phone.

[SOLVED] sprint SGS3 stuck on bootloops and crashes (tried everything)

I disassembled my phone lately for maintenance reasons, The battery was out for about 30 minutes, (My phone already had a trouble keeping the clock even though the battery was taken out for a short period), after assembling the phone, it booted up properly till the lock screen appeared and it all became black. software and hardware buttons were working properly, but the LCD itself was totally black.
I booted-up the phone in recovery mode and wiped everything from system, data, to cache, and then installed the newest version of Lineage. After booting the system gave me "process system isn't responding" and close and wait options with infinite bootloops.
I tried installing the full stock Rom and it gave me "setting has stopped working" and "google play services has stopped working".
My guess then was the time on the device, so I went back into recovery opened a shell session and fixed the time using "date" and "hwclock", but it never worked.
After searching online I found that this might be a battery issue, so I bought a new one, and guess...It didn't work either.
I really need help with this device! :crying:
_____________________________________
Solved it by installing the NJ2:
Wiped everything, then installed the stock rom using odin 3.10, after that the system kept telling me the same messages, so I went back and installed twrp 3.10 .. I guess .. then wiped everything except for the system and internal memory, then I corrected my clock using this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-sprint/help/how-to-edit-time-hardware-time-using-t3621875
and frankly it worked! and booted up normally.
Sadly I wasn't able to install any linage version! ... I hope that I find the solution so soon!
