Running TWRP, restoring back to FreeGS3, which worked the other day but now it appears that the restore process is stuck. It's been stuck in the same spot for close to 10 minutes. Not sure what to do. Advice please!!
TWRP version 2.2.1.1.
Its okay to pull battery and just make sure you go straight to recovery. I've done it multiple times on all different phones. Vol up and physical home button and power

That is far from being bricked :silly:
Was taking the phone out of the case and it says now "skipping MD5 check base on user setting"...looks like it is moving now...wow...thank God. I think it's working...hopefully it restores.

Is it? Lol...stupid NOOB I am...I get paranoid. Lol...thanks for clearing that up. Still have a lot to learn.
Ok...still stuck. It moved but it appears to be stuck at the same spot it was stuck before so I will try to remove battery and boot into recovery.
Thanks guys...scared the crap out of me. Restored AOKP...and it's running fine. Thank you all for your help.
Hello,
I have a fairly new samsung S3 on AT&T. The phone is rooted and the new jellybean update applied.
Everything has been fine until this morning it started showing "UNFORTUNATELY, NFC SERVICE HAS STOPPED".
I can hit OK and it goes away but within 5 seconds it's back. It is making my phone unusable.
I went into titanium backup and froze all NFC services - that didn't help anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Did you have the NFC google wallet fix install before updating or installed it after?

Not just yet - I'm reflashing the jellybean rom at the moment to see if it works after that.
Same thing after rom flash. Argh!

that fine that you reflash but go in to 3e Recovery by holding down Power+Vol Up+Home until you see the blue writing in the top left corner of the screen. Then let go. From there Factory Reset/ Wipe Device (Warning this will wipe data/pictures). Then Reboot.

About to do a TI backup ... otherwise once I wipe it will take me forever to get this phone set up again.
Then I will wipe the phone. Ack. Thanks for the suggestion.

Whenever you have issues like this. It is best to Wipe. Not really any way around that. I am willing to bet this will resolve all issues.

Well you were definitely right - thanks for the help!
Ti Backup couldn't back up with the error popping up like crazy - so I wiped the device, re-rooted, and now I'm restoring from an older Ti Backup.
Hopefully it won't take me too much longer to get all set up.
Thanks again for the help!

I'm having the same issue, but wipe does not work, I am unable to turn the phone on really, it just gets to Welcome screen, where you choose your language, followed by Unfortunately, S Note has stopped, I press ok, then Unfortunately, NFC as stopped, and it does a few others and then repeats, over and over.
How can I fix?

How were you able to by pass the "Unfortunately, nfs has stopped working" pop up? I'm guessing you need to download the zip file they provide at this link onto your phone, no?

Well, I never had this happen, so try this:
1: BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP. Nobody wants to lose data.
2: Grab the CyanogenMod you want (I recommend the latest, based on Nougat, catching cats is another reason)
3. Grab Odin, I have a copy BUT my computer is out of commission (Using my Pi 3 )
4. GET A RELIABLE USB CABLE. Any issues can make you own a Samsung brickwich.
5. Flash CM using Odin, and also flash TWRP for good luck.
Done, and hope it works.
On my stock T210R I experienced the system freeze and reboot just a few seconds after power up, it was all stock.
I installed TWRP 2.7.1.0, then wiped it off. Installed gr8nole's ROM (Nov '13 deodexed, rooted). After doing so, there was a Kernel Panic on boot, so I installed Blackhawk kernel 2.1.
After doing all of the above, it still boots up, comes to the initial setup page, runs a few seconds, freezes and reboots.
Do you think this is a hardware problem?
Any suggestions before I sell it for parts on ebay?
Thanks in advance
logs?

does it stay long enough to get logs? even if you have to boot a few times to get them onto your pc and check them out from there?
also with twrp there's some unexplained issue of /data getting corrupted on flashes, the only remedy for which seems to be using the format data option.

Sometimes it goes for several minutes before it freezes, especially if the battery is full, even then apps just randomly close without a notification... Maybe storage related?
Care to share how to gather logs?
Thanks
I would use ODIN or KYES to flash it back to OEM stock firmware. Also remove the micro SD card if you have one in there, sometimes corrupt cards can cause boot loop.

fyi- you can get a lot of different info from files that have info to give with
cat /directory/file > /sdcard/output.file
mostly from /proc and digging through /sys
when you get something crazy looking that goes on forever press ctrl then c to stop.

The tablet did the same without the sdcard, and I tried a couple times to do a factory reset with no luck.
The fact that it does the same with a different ROM and kernel is what makes me think it's hardware related

Cool, i'll get syslog installed and see if I can find anything.
Weird thing... It's been up for a day now, I have catlog running and recording; the only different thing is that I enabled battery saving mode, and batt is 94%; I have not used any apps other than checking battery and running catlog, but I did not have to use it for it to freeze and reboot...
If it is still running by this evening, I'll enable one thing at a time (GPS, sound, etc...)
Thanks @moonbutt74 and @dsilx
awesome

Ok, it seems to be hardware, as soon as I disable Power Saving mode, the tablet freezes and reboots.
As I understand, power saving mode limits the CPU to a lower performance tier; so I think the CPU is having troubles.
Oh well, as long as I don't try to mine bitcoins with the tablet, I should be good to go.

I'm running rooted deodexed stock ROM with Blackhawk 2.1 kernel.
But as I mentioned in the OP, the problem was there with the full stock device, the new ROM and kernel were installed after the problem started.
ouch
i think you pegged it right with internal storage being damaged.
only thing i can think of besides getting your money back is do a full data partition wipe and format
and a full system wipe and format
either way that has to suck. sorry i couldn't help.

So a friend of mine updated his G3 to lollipop and he's facing two main issues:
Settings isn't opening at all. It FC's right when you open it
Messages app also force closes many times
the most annoying problem: Alarm if set, phone only vibrates no matter even if sound is set to full.
And force closes of apps frequently.
Can you borrow his phone and reflash everything with a fresh download from one of the XDA threads? Perhaps it was a bad flash?

He didn't flash, he updated OTA and I think I can, he's pretty busy person though.
Was looking for a more easy solution.
Yeah well it still has some degree of flashing I think. Just try a factory reset to stay on the safe side. Then alternately try reflashing. A factory reset shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes.

Just take out the SD card. I dont think it would. I haven't had this phone for long but I dont see why it would do that. It hasn't for any of my other phones.

I'm pretty sure this has been asked a lot, but I'm trying to install the "TeamSPR Rom" and i'm following the steps exactly. I still get stuck on the bootscreen with the logo with the blue LED glowing. What am I doing wrong, and this happens with TeamSPR and Renegade.

Make sure that you are rooted (goes without saying) and using the correct version of TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Saafir said:
From the information in your post, you seem to be on the right track. That ROM has taken upwards of 25 minutes to boot for some folks. As long as the blue light is slightly pulsing, it's doing it's thing. As long as you have TWRP installed and working, you should be good to go.

And I'm using the latest TWRP.
p.s. Thank you guys so much, I'm skepticle when it somes to asking for help on forums, cuz usually people are short tempered and or a-holes. I really appreciate it though.
1 last thing, do i install/flash the OTA part after it optimizes all the apps?
finished everything, it's booted up now, but my screen is spamming "unfortunately, "APPNAME" has stopped" is that normal?
EDIT: Can't get into my text messages either.
Saafir said:
You shouldnt receive any errors. I would reboot to TWRP, do a wipe and reinstall the ROM. Let the device boot and set it up. Once all is good with the initial install, reboot to TWRP and install the update.zip. This should ensure a nice clean start.

1. Flashed ROM, waited 20 is mins.
2. Phone loaded up, restarted into TWRP and Flashed the OTA zip.
3. Phone loaded up. This is when I start getting a popup saying "Unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped working." and my message app still won't open after i cleared cache and data.

I did exactly that. Im currently reflashing the Full ROM taking longer at the samsung screen. But I'll wait. If all else fails I'll probably go back to stock.
I'm now back to stock 6.0.1, going to give this one more go.
Would anyone mind giving me specific step-by-step directions. please?
I feel like im forgetting something crucial.
