Hello there. Just flashed Slimkat 4.4.4 today and it was working great until I restored all of my backups from Titanium backup. Now it will boot up but it keeps saying the process com.android.systemui has stopped. It won't let me do a thing and when I try to boot to recovery from the phone being off it won't boot to recovery. Any help is appreciated. I think I might have to flash the stock rom from odin but I can't find a forum that shows it clearly.
Dont restore system apps data. Factory reset will probably fix it, but theres tons of guides on Odin, and its actually a pretty easy process. Read the sticky threads and you'll find several guides.

Have you tried a wipe from cwm?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i wiped data/cache/dalvik and still nothing.
:'(
anyone please, i dont know whats happening
Now that you've wiped it, you won't be able to make a nandroid anyway, you'd be backing up... nothing. When you say you can't restore a nandroid, what exactly is happening when you try? Do you try to restore an existing nandroid and an error stops the process? Does CWM not find any nandroids that should be there? Have you ever restored to a nadroid before that you know there *should* be one that works?
Based on what you've written here I'd suggest just restoring to factory installation and picking up the pieces from there. Before you do, you can try to backup what's on your phone using the command "adb pull /sdcard". If you have a nandroid that might be good but for some reason unusable by your phone right now, it will be copied and you can try to restore it after reverting to factory settings. Otherwise, it should pull off any personal stuff like your photos etc so it's not a total loss.
If you're on a GSM Nexus, follow instructions here.
If you're on a CDMA Nexus, follow instructions here.
It is really the exact same process for either, but you want to make sure you've got the right set of files. This will basically leave you where you were when you first unlocked the bootloader.

yeah, i ended up unrooting and flashing factory image back. but i did however root and unlock bootloader again.
now, whenever i finish flashing my new rom. it gets stuck looping on the boot animation, not the google logo. is there any reason behind this? could it relate back to what happened before?

When you say "it gets stuck", how long are we talking here? Sometimes, depending on what you just wiped/what you're flashing, the phone will just take a longer time to boot. If you assume something's wrong and pull the battery you might just mess it up when really you just needed to be patient and let it finish.
These are probably questions best addressed in threads for specific ROMs, though, where people might have had similar experiences, or the ROM dev might be able to use your feedback. It's especially hard to formulate an opinion that might be useful when you provide barely any specific information to what you're working with.
Hello everyone,
first of all, im kind of new to rooting phones and stuff, what surely brought me to that problem i have.
I have an old HTC desire where i wanted to install a custom rom.
So i searched for a tutorial, i rooted the phone using unrevoked 3.21, worked fine. Then i wanted to install the custom rom, installed a backup tool first (something like "ClockwordMod Recovery") and made a backup on the sd card.
Then i wanted to install the custom ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403113
Worked mostly fine, but when i wanted to start my phone i got stuck in the startup screen forever.
I searched for this issue and found some tips about clearing caches and clearing the sdcard, what i did - so here is the problem. The sdcard wipe propably killed my backup file and now i am pretty screwed, i still get stuck in the loading screen of the ROM, so i dont have access of the phone, and backup tool has no file to recover from.
So what to do now? I want to reset the phone to the rooted status and try to install the ROM again, but as i said i cant access to anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT:
Allright, i have no idea why, but suddenly the phone starts up with the new OS. So this thread can be closed / deleted. Sorry for that
Checked bortak's troubleshooting guide??

Sounds like you're sorted, can happen sometimes if it was your first CWM (nandroid) backup
Hello, I tried to post this in the developer forum but I am new so not allowed. I currently have a Galaxy S2 White t989 from t-mobile. Two days ago I upgraded my phone to official ICS via kies, I was already on Stock GB before and ICS made me phone practically unusable. I read a thread with directions on how to flash to stock from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
I followed those procedures to a t and now when my phone boots I can't get it past touch "android" to begin and a million things begin to "force close..g,apps,etc) Is there something I am missing? Just got this phone and I hope I haven't forever messed it up. If anyone has a link to a thread already solving the same issue...please let me know. I am a newbie with flashing so please have patience.
factory reset data
Thanks for your reply, but how would I go about doing this...I can't get pass the set-up screen to access the phone features. Is there another method to performing this.
Happened to me also, what I read was install clockwork recovery via ODIN (look for the thread in the other sections). Then you'll need to wipe cache and dalvic cache. Then you'll be able to continue to set up your phone.
OK great, will try it out, please wish me luck everyone. Love my s2, would be terrible if it is unusable.
Ok, so I installed clockwork recovery and still having the same issues...how I didn't anything with the recovery prompting to clear those caches?
yay!! back on stock and everything is working great..much thanks!!
Hello
I'm having the same issue that was stated above. I used the SGSII toolkit to do the stock rom flash and that is how I got to this point. I just wanted to know if using the process shown here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858435 ? I skipped number 1 since it says it is optional. I now cannot find the "T989UVLH1.tar.md5" and all I can find is a file named "T989UVLH1_T989TMBLH1_T989UVLH1_HOME.tar.md5". Am I supposed to rename this one? Thank you very much.
edit.
I used the file T989UVLH1_T989TMBLH1_T989UVLH1_HOME.tar.md5 in odin>PDA>start. Then had an com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly problem. Used the toolkit to do a factory reset and everything is fine now. I'll have to do a little more research before I try rooting again, gave me too many headaches.
I have the sigh-i747 withe the debloated factory 4.3 rom found on another thread here. However this seems to apply to both cwm recovery and twrp. When I restore a backup it boots to the AT&T screen and stays there. I've tried everything I can think of and no luck. Needless to say after four or five manual restores I'm hesitant to try anything else. I've googled it extensively and only found the problem mentioned once and no answers, lol. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx
Hi all,
I ran into an issue while trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S III. I used a tutorial from Max Lee on Youtube (can't post link) to help me get through the process . There was a step that used Titanium Backup to check if you rooted your phone correctly. However when I downloaded Titanium Backup and tried to open it, I didn't see the superSU request window like it appeared in the tutorial. It was stuck on "asking for root rights..." I decided to reinstall Titanium Backup to see if it would help. After uninstalling it, I realized my Play Store would not load anything. I looked at some other apps and they wouldn't load either (Gmail, Hangouts, some games, etc). I tried logging out and back into my Google account but that didn't work either. A lot of my apps aren't working after attempting to root my phone and I'm not sure what the issue is.
I'm new to this sort of stuff and I couldn't really find an answer for my problem (at least not that I could find on Google). Sorry if this has been asked already! Could anyone tell me what I could do to get my phone back to it's original state at least? I'm kind of afraid to try and root again if I do get a fix for this. Also, factory reset is going to be my last option ;_;.
Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-T999 running Android version 4.1.2
Thanks!
If you can, back up your internal sdcard data. It's very likely you may have to do a factory reset which can erase it.
(BTW, when you get it going again, consider using the free unlock method in the General section. Once you update you can't do it free anymore)
OK, so first, only use what info you find in the T999 forums. Everything you need is here and it's hard to help fix things caused by info gained elsewhere.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? (Twrp or cwm) if so boot recovery and factory reset. This will wipe all apps and data (except internal sd...at least it shouldnt). With luck, this is all you need to do. Reboot and hopefully it'll be working so you can reinstall your stuff. If you have stock recovery, still do this, but it WILL wipe ALL user data).
If that doesn't work, the easiest and most reliable next step is to flash your current firmware build via Odin, and factory reset from settings or stock recovery. (wipes all data).
Then you can unlock and update if you so choose. You can find your firmware and instructions in my firmware thread stickied in the development section. (You'll probably want to use the root66 versions)
If you have any questions feel free to ask. Better safe than sorry. But keep in mind just about everything you could possibly need or want to know has been covered, so don't forget to search for your answers first.
If you still want root after all that, we have several extremely easy options.
Good luck!
