I would suggest disabling the tablet of the apps you are not using and install greenify which will hibernate the apps until you are using them.

Try flashing the full stock firmware from sammobile; then boot into the stock recovery and do a full factory reset. If that doesn't work, then you may want to install a custom recovery and re-format (not wipe, but actually format) the data partition.

Ok will try that. After wiping the data partition what should i do?

I would boot into the complete stock system and see if you have any problems. If everything works fine when completely stock, then you can install a custom recovery and try some other roms.

Ok cool i really hope this works bud because I've tried everything even used twerp recovery to advance format system, data, cache and internal storage

still no luck gr8 i tried booting into stock still i get random app stops, like "unfortunately playstore has stopped"., "unfortunately systemui has stopped", "unfortunately touchwizhome has stopped", and all other apps depending on which one i'm using. they still come on back but its really annoying also i get random reboots. i feel like i have tried everything.

Did you ever get this fixed?
Did you ever figure out a fix? I'm having the exact same problem.

I've flashed back to the stock fimware from sammobile and I still have errors and random rebooting. So I rooted with CWM ad did a full factory reset, still the same problems. I've re-formatted the data and the data/media (/sdcard) partition,still the same problem.

Even a completely stock system, I'm having problems. I've tried wiping everything (cache, dalvik ,data/factory reset ) then flashing back to the stock firmware using Odin3 v3.09, and I'm still getting errors and random rebooting.
Has my t210 bit the dust?

Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with the new updates. I would try to find an older version of the stock rom and load it thru Odin 3.7 and see if you still have the same problems.

Same thing I'm thinking but I still have hope

Did any of you all clear your cache and dalvik-cache as part of the flashing process?
The 4.4 ROM is an update to the stock 4.2. If you use a custom ROM, you will probably need to reflash stock 4.2 in order to flash 4.4.

But this tab never had 4.2 only 4.1 and I did a complete wipe before flashing anything

Here's what I would do then:
Reflash 4.1, then try 4.4. If that doesn't work, flash all three consecutively. Gotta test around to find out what works.

We have got a V4.2.2 Version, but this was ported from the Tab 3 sm-t110 lite.

Format and wipe all folders using none stock recovery like CWM this will empty all junk left behind

Should I erase all this everything I've included in the screenshot?

Flashing Woes

I don't know what's going on here. I have the SM-T800, and I've tried flashing two different T800 ROMs but each just results in being stuck on the boot screen. I'm on 5.0.2 rooted with the latest TWRP installed. Am I missing some key step that's specific to this device?

If you are already on lollipop you need to flash another lollipop Rom. If you flash a kitkat Rom you will need to wipe cache and data in recovery.

Sometimes you need to update your base firmware so ROM, kernel, bootloader & modem etc all work together. After that, go through the process needed to flash the ROM. Best to search the ROM thread first of pre-installation requirements and if no luck, post in the relevant ROM thread with your entire firmware details and exact steps used to reproduce issue

Both were 5.0.2 ROMs (Iron, yTab). I wiped cache, dalvik, and data before flashing, maybe wiping data is what was hurting?
Thanks guys.

If you wiped data then it will take at least ten minutes to boot.

mine took fooooooooooooooooooooooooooorever. I actually thought something was wrong. But it eventually came on. weird.

Help. Bricked(?) t999l

Hi,
I don't know what happened because I didn't do anything out of ordinary, but my S3 (TMO LTE) seems bricked. It was unlocked, rooted, and was running pacman lollipop ROM. The recovery was TWRP (the latest). I was going to sell this phone, so I turned off, removed sim card and microsd card. Powered it on. Everything was working. Then, I went to setting and hit factory reset from there. The phone restarted, but got stuck on the blue teamwin screen (the one that gets displayed before TWRP loads). The phone can't get past it. Not sure what caused it because it was a simple factory reset from the OS itself. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Just flash stock rom from sammobile.com using Odin. After flashing, boot to recovery and perform a full wipe.

If I flash the firmware from there, I'm going to lose root, right?

The phone will go back to completely stock, no root.

Is there an alternative fix that will maintain the root TWRP? I know I can just root it again, but if possible I'd rather not go through all that because I am relocating in 3 days.

Do you want to sell the phone with a custom ROM? If you do, you could download and flash another custom ROM after re-installing TWRP.

Yes. I'm trying to make it more appealing with Lollipop on it lol So, just to double check, I should just install TWRP using Odin then install custom ROM, correct? By the way, do you have any idea what why my S3 got bricked? Did I do something wrong???

Sometimes, things just happen. Could be a several factors, one of which is the fact that cm12.1 may not have reached a stable state on the device. Also, the latest bootloader for the T999L is 4.3 while KK is the latest for T999v. Maybe the KK bootloader makes the phone more stable? I really don't know.
Yes, just flash TWRP, boot to recovery, do a full wipe of the system, cache, dalvik, data, flash ROM, flash Gapps, flash supersu if the ROM is not pre-rooted, and re-boot.

After Factory Reset, Phone is Slow as Hell - HELP!!

I'm rooted on my Galaxy S3. Last month I made a backup through TWRP recovery. Yesterday when I restored to the backup, the restore wasnt complete. I tried to restore again and I encountered the same incomplete restore. My customized settings in the apps were gone and some of the apps I had backed up weren't included in the restore. Looks like something got messed up.
I then wiped cache, Dalvik, data and system. I even formatted the phone. I also did a factory reset. This messed up my phone so I installed a new rooted stock rom. So now, the phone is slow as hell and apps arent very responsive. Everything is laggy and slow. And the play store and youtube have slow connection speeds.
What should I do to fix this stupidity??

Did you try restoring a stock ROM via Odin?

I had the same thing happen before. Odin with a stock rom is all that fixed it for me.

Yes I did. But Playstore downloading speed and wifi speed are slow as hell. What do you suggest?

Are you downloading over WiFi or cellular data network? The phone is running the latest rom without root? After flashing, you you immediately go to b recovery and do a full wipe?

Yes I'm downloading over wifi and its slow. The phone is laggy too. Its running JB with root. I tried a full wipe of dalvik, cache and data or system. It doesnt help.

This is really strange because a factory reset usually does the trick.
This may be a redundant question but was the phone flashed with the correct ROM? I see different variations of the T999 on sammobile.com's website.

Hi audit.. Its not a dumb question at all. The rom was the correct one for my phone. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Its possible that my phone fell and maybe that caused damage maybe.
Not only that but restoring bsckups through TWRP doesnt yield perfect restores. All my restores have not been complete. Customized settings all returned to default and apps were rearramged differently.
Anyeay, just to make sure, how can I do a proper wipe without wiping out my custom settings and apps? Do I just wipe dalvik, cache and system?

You would wipe dalvik and cache only.
Wiping data wipes apps.
Wiping system wipes the rom.

Thanks for a speedy reply. Can you explain why my backuo restores through TWRP dont yield perfect restores? Custom settings return to default and apps are arranged differently.

I am not sure why that happens but I have used twrp on several phones, including the lg g2, nexus 4, note 3, htc one x, and Samsung tab without issue. Maybe you need to do a full wipe before restoring? Does the phone have the latest twrp?

Hi audit. Yes the phone has the latest TWRP. I downloaded it from the play store yesterday.
I got an important question. I backed up my rom a few days through TWRP as I said. Is it possible to open up the backup on my laptop and search for specific pics? I dont want to restore the rom, since as I stated, I have problems doing so. I just need to get those pics. Is this possible?

I am not sure but it is worth a try.
Humour me but is the twrp 2.8.7?

Thats right, current version is 2.8.7.0.

I don't know why it doesn't restore properly. Maybe try re-flashing twrp from Odin? Can't really think of anything else.

How do I reflask TWRP through odin? In doing so, would I risk losing my data, apps, etc? Is it safe?

You download the tar file for d2att, open Odin, put phone into download mode, put the tar file in the pda box, and flash.

Wait, when you say the tar file for d2att you mean the TWRP file, right? Hope thats what you mean because the way you describe it, it sounds like instructions on flashing the whole rom.
Where do I get the tar file for the TWRP app?

I took your advice, and just flashed the ROM, however, the Firmware i downloaded and flashed was KitKat not Lollipop. So now it just gets suck on the Samsung boot logo. I wiped cache partition, but it still does the same, should I try to find a 5.0.2 Firmware? Would that even work? Thanks
