My phone upon reboot usually gets stuck on a "Sorry! Process system is not responding" "Force Close" or "Wait".
Neither option works and I have to do a battery pull.
It doesn't matter what ROM I use it always happens.
Would someone be able to tell me how to get a log from bootup? And would someone be willing to look at the log for me?
Thanks guys!

I don't mean to sound like a tool by suggesting this, but, have you wiped? Wipe cache and dalvik to start off with see if that works...and if it doesn't do a full wipe and get back to us.
Again, I'm not trying to be a ****...if you are beyond this level of help, well, we're gunna need more details.
i can tell you how to get a log but i cant tell you whats wrong using the log
plug your phone into your computer, using adb type in "adb logcat" and press enter and you should see a whole bunch of text start appearing
before you flash a rom do you do factory resets and make sure to wipe your cache and dalvik cache? that could be the problem..
I have done it all, wiped dalvik, cache, and everything else. I even tried using CWM instead of twrp and the issue remains.
Thanks everyone for trying to help...

If you've done a full wipe and tried different roms then I would be inclined to believe that the issue is likely hardware.

I would use TWRP and do this:
Go into wipe menu, then Wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data (factory reset). Go into advanced menu (I think) and there should be another wipe menu. Wipe /system. Then flash the ROM of your choice and it should be fixed. Wiping /system manually is the key since some ROMs don't do that (mine does, however)
Thanks ill try the advanced system wipe.

In a word, yes. Are any of these 'bargain' cards you got online by chance? If not and they are from a reputable vendor I would put them in the computer, copy data off and format them....and if that still doesn't help find a 'known good' card and go on from there. The stock card would be preferable, but, if you can't find that a 'known good' card is the next best thing. If the stock card or a 'known' good card doesn't help I'm still inclined to think it's a hardware error...but after hearing about the SDcard I'm leaning towards the phone is fine the card is screwed.

ok I appreciate the help and I will look for a new card.
Went to a sprint store, they said its probably a hardware issue and they ordered me a new one.
Here's to hoping the new one one won't have any issues....

It all started when I tried to update busybox and it told me that multiple versions were present. I reflashed KH3 (which brought me back to basic busybox) and the problem still persists. I can download FINE over 3G. Never had this problem before.
Factory reset the only solution? I've read online that it works, but I'd like to avoid it.
I've decided to go for the hard reset, but I'm worried that I won't clean everything that's necessary.
I think busybox may be installed in /sbin which is outside of /system. I was planning on flashing the leaked KH3 (NON FRANKENSTEIN), but doesn't that only wipe /system?
How can I restore the absolute root of my device to stock? By that I mean the parent "directory" (if you can call it that) of /system.
Thanks!
So I wiped absolutely everything, have basic busybox installed, and I'm still getting the issue. Sometimes I can get an app to install, but more often than not the download fails to start on wifi.
No one else experiences this? Anyone have any idea why this might be happening? I'm so frustrated!
I also think that the wipes may not have worked properly because somehow PowerAMP remembered my settings and Tasker didn't revert to the default notification icon. I can't figure out how this is possible if /system and /data were wiped.
Does flashing a stock ROM not wipe all of /system?

Hi All
Is there a way to "format" your internal memory so that I can start fresh? When i load a new rom all files are still there.
Thank you
Llewellyn
Got the tab a few weeks back and after a bit of playing around I did a factory reset in settings / security.
When it rebooted I lost everything, folders, apps, pics etc. It was like I just took it out if the box.
I was a bit surprised because I have used the wipe data/factory reset function in cwm recovery a thousand times before on other android devices but SD card files always remained.
So try from settings.

I have noticed that doing a factory reset from a stock unrooted rom results in a clean format, while doing so from a rooted rom will reset the rom and still keep all files that are on the sd. I am not sure why it's like this, but that was learned from personal experience.

I had to return my Samsung for repair before I could root it. As posted above the factory reset will do the trick for you. I would guess if you root or rom your tablet it would not remove these as well. Not sure about that though.
Questions go in the Q&A section

i have the same problem on my GTP1000, restock not working, cutom rom not working, i try so many way but no success
my internal memori is Read Only, any body can help?
I created a backup because I wanted to try a mod ,I didn't like the mod because it messed up the system UI.
So I tried to restore the backup however I ended up with the Samsung logo flashing?
I advanced restored the boot image and the phone started but all my apps were force closing , then I tried the full restore however the /data section wouldn't restore because it was corrupted
what's my best option? I've currently decided to boot to the nandroid menu and go on wipe data/factory reset , the phone has restored and I'm restoring using Titanium Backup. This will bring back my user apps I think?. But is there any way to restore wifi passwords and bookmarks and calendar appointments?
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance
I am pretty sure that by signing into your Google account it should restore your WiFi passwords and bookmarks automatically

Before flashing anything.. go to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache, when done "fix permissions" ,this option is located in advanced menu in recovery. Now reboot.
Use "titanium backup" to backup BT WIFI and other settings.
Ps. Don't restore system apps, only the app data if absolutely necessary.

I agree with zodiaxe66's suggestion always try something like this before you just go flashing away.

And I tick:
Enable everroot .Inject SU ,Inject Mobile Odin.
And I select
Wipe data and Cache

Then I select flash firmware.
the mobile Odin screen pops up and it shows the progress when it flashes the
kernel recovery system hidden
and wipes the dalvik cache
However the Message App still force closes!

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

Did u download the additional file beside the app itself. Either from mobile Odin thread or if bought it from market,then turn on wifi and open Odin again and u be asked to download additional file.
remember to grant superuser permission.
Update from the idiot, partial success achieved .
I ended up flashing the stock rom using odin on the desktop then I flashed CWM recovery rooted supersu etc
Then I started the phone, memory card is intact, however phone memory was wiped. Luckily my titanium folder is on the memory card. So luckily I was able to restore the apps and data. No force closes now
The stuff I lost on the internal memory was music (now restored) camera pics (most restored thanks to dropbox) ringtones and bookmarks.
However I have much more free internal memory than before, so I was wondering whether I could be missing an important folder or something than may cause issue with apps or is there anything important I might have lost?
Thanks once again for helping an idiot out

No your probably not missing anything
Important in fact when your phones internal storage was wiped it very likely got rid of the traces of any file that could cause problems.

I think if you long press on the options that are green it should bring up a list of options such as backup, restore, etc. try that and see what happens.

So anytime I flash a new rom I keep getting the same bookmarks I've already deleted, but they seem to come back for some reason. I've used root explorer to look wrought my device but can't seem to find anything related, it must be a folder that I can go in and remove permanently. Anyone know of a solution? Only happens when I flash a rom, just flashed back to stock and bookmarks I previously removed are gone makes no sense. Thanks

It makes some sense, as the emmc (internal storage card) retains all files previously flashed to the device, or downloaded.
With the exception of (android /secure , dalvik, cache , system , and other files that are deleted by using the recovery during a wipe.
The rest of the files, including data, remain on the emmc partition of the internal storage.
The method by which you wipe the device is very important . And just as important, is any type of data restore you perform after flashing a new rom .
Most developers clearly state a "FULL " wipe when coming from any other rom, and full includes the following :
Wiping data
Wiping cache
Wiping dalvik cache
Wiping system. (Bear in mind that many new roms clean the system partition for you while the flash process loads the new rom )
Based on the above method, the device is rendered "clean "
But even then , data from previous builds "does " remain on the device in the emmc partition.
Book marks being left over is a pretty basic leftover, and can likely be found in an internal folder named " thumbnails ", or "bookmarks " etc. And it can be deleted with a long press of the file and the problem is gone.
If you have no obvious folders showing these bookmarks , then a more complete wipe is needed.
My method for this is very simple, and is performed prior to flashing the new rom. I simply go into recovery (I only use the recovery to flash, never rom manager etc) and I format the emmc partition in the advanced menu.
WARNING !!!
Formatting the emmc partition "will " erase all data from your device ...
So any valuable files , pictures , hot chicks phone numbers etc ...will be gone.
To save this data, simply copy/paste it to your external storage prior to wiping and flashing, and you can move it back once your new build is up and running ....
Sorry for the long reply, but I hope this helps you, and other users to perhaps better understand the flash method, and what causes these little hickups of data always coming back ....g

It's a format of the emmc partition in the advanced recovery menu..
It effectively wipes "everything " from the internal area of the device. And eliminates all transient data from the phone.
But remember, to "move " any files of value ....or their toast ...LOL

If I remember correctly ....another user some time ago ....went to their Google account and shut down the sync option for the browser , but left the contacts and other stuff on ...
If you have a stock type rom using the stock browser ...you can kill just the browser sync option and the other sync stuff can still be used.
I'm sure several other roms are capable of this also ...but rooted stock builds for sure ...g
