Error after flash - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I flash my I9300 with different firmware's (LUXALE5, DBTALE5, PHNALE4, EURALE1 XXALE8) when I start the phone I get this:
1.Unfortunetely, the process android.process.acore has stopped.
2.TouchWiz has stopped
3.Contacts has stopped
I cant' do anything with phone because he move to slow. The only firmware without problems is the last update from samsung XXBLFB but in Kies he told me that this version it will not update in kies.
Why I get that errors and what is the solutions??? In the picture is the old firmware before to update to XXBLFB but not working without that errors anymore! I don't know from were to take that version from picture to work
I'm from Romania, sorry for my english

YES, flash with Odin. And if I do that it will work?

First question i would ask is have you got a genuine I9300 International model .
Second if you flash with many firmwares you often have a problem Totally Confused Rom Flashers Syndrome .
Likewise Kies does not know what your phone is .
1.Unfortunetely, the process android.process.acore has stopped.
2.TouchWiz has stopped
3.Contacts has stopped
Are all symptoms of a bad flash .

Now it's flashed ok the Kies see him and told me this is the last firmware. I have XXBLFB original. I don't know how to look if it's an International model. I just take the firmware's from sammobile or xda and just flashed and I get that error's. Only this firmware XXBLFB it's ok without any errors.

I've try what you told me and is the same thing....still get that error's. Can you give me please a link to a good stock rom to try install and see if it's the same thing with error's?
Another problem is that in QUADRANT I get only 2200 !!!!

Do factory reset from cwm and reboot.
Go to samfirmware.com for stock rom LG6 is latest,but use lg1 that is fully supported here
To get root and cwm,go to cf-root thread and flash it from Odin..
but READ before flashing, to avoid problems

I have the same problem.
I flashed XXLG6 but I lost SIM unlock.
So I tried to flash some older roms, but every time I get the same error like you.
Only rom that works is XXLG6.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Ok so LG6 it's ok? But wich one I must get for Romania?

The answer lies in post 4 and 8, look for a Romanian rom on www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Odin. After that do a data/factory reset in backup and restore.

I don't know, FOR ME works only XXLG6.
I have a problem just like you, with this rom I can not use my phone because SIM is locked, and I can not flash any older rom because I get that error every time.
I hope someone knows how to solw the problem.

Hi.
The simplest way to sort out this issue is just click on settings - Application Manager - All - Contacts (Open Contacts and clear data and clear cache) - Contacts Storage (Open it and clear cache and clear data).
I faced same error after reverting back to XXBLFB from XXLG8. I flashed the LFB FW via odin. Even after clearing the Dalvik Cache and Cache via CWM the problem was not sorted out. This error is related to contacts sync. So once you clear this cache and data of contacts from given path, this error wont come again.
You have to act between the gap of this error flash. But it saves u from reformatting the whole device. Just little patience and the problem is sorted out.

[Q] How to revertback from rooted ICS 4.0.3 to official Android 2.3.6

Hi,
I have installed Android ICS 4.0.3 in my galaxy s2 two days back, but now i want to go back to the company provided version Android 2.3.6 for india.
I tried the official firmware given in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
but i am experiencing some problem and the mobile doesn't goes beyond the initial start up screen where it says "click on android logo to start"
Please anybody can tell me how to install properly the official firmware android 2.3.6 DDKL1 for Samsung galaxy s2.
Please let me know the exact steps to do and the link for files to download.
Thanks in advance.
The files you have should work fine. Did you flash.as shown in the pictures in the OP of the thread you linked?
If your getting to the android start screen your phone should boot fine. Did you click on the android to start?
Sent from my GT-I9100
Yes i did click on the android logo, It doesn't do anything rather some android process is getting stopped and i am getting popups for it.
while installing 4.0.3 i included all PDA,Phone,CSC and Pit files in odin manager and there by re-partitioned also.
the official firmware link above gives me only the PDA tar file rest of the other files i searched and downloaded dunno whether it is correct. so is it possible for you to give the full set of tar files, if u have?? or direct me to some links where i can download those.
I used the 2.3.6 xila version from remorema at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444651. Just make sure you wipe system/cache and delvik cache before you install from zip in cwm. Then it all should be fine. This presumed you have a CWM.
Hope this helps

It's probably interfering with something if you're getting all of the process close.
I suggest a factory data reset if you can, close your phone and go to recovery (even if its a stock rom, the original android recovery will also work) and do a factory data reset and try again.
If that still doesn't work, try re-flashing again and see what happens.

If you have only 1 file then don't download any others. Just flash it as pda as shown in the picture of your linked thread.

Hi, mani_vic2rious
If U want to revert back to ginger Stock roms, then this is your place :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444651
I recommend you to choose only from ginger ones, and remember thy are all from samsung, thus, not tweaked or anything. the only difference is that you can install them via CWM, for those who don't like to use Odin on windows PC.
Now if you want to stay in ICS 4.0.3 LP2 based rom, I recommend you Wanamlite V7.2 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436817
U won't find more stable and functional than this.
Keys to succes in any rom installation :
1- Backup all your personal Stuff;
2- reboot into recovery (cwm) and wipe every single thing : datas, all caches (use the advance menu to wipe more things like dalvics and battery stats)
3- install your rom
4- then restore your personal stuff
As possible as you can : Always reinstall your apps from the begining and avoid restoring them from the backup you did, this always cause conflits and that's why people are always complaining, only do backup your contacts sms and other things like that.
and voilà, always stay clean as possible, and every thing will work smooth, you only need to choose the right rom.
I hope this helps!

Also make sure you have flashed back the old Gingerbread bootloaders from that thread.

Hi kimifender,
The wanamlite installation says "signature verification failed" while installing, anything to do with it??
I've flashed data and cache and reverted to 2.3.6, now it is working fine. anyhow if i can able to install wanamlite i'll try that too. Please sugest me.
Thanks for all who have helped me in solving the issue
but now the only issue is my kies is not detecting the version. anything else i have todo for this??

Hi friends.
I have galaxy SII and just yesterday i update to official ICS (Greece) .
I didn't see any difference so i rooted , in order to be able to install customs ROM.
So i did but i don't like it and i thought that is good to revert back to official ginger , for my country.
I download from sammobile the following firmware I9100BUKJ3 and i uploaded to my phone through Odin.Everything is uploaded fine.
But the problem begins at the boot .....The first wizard for configuration of the phone cannot executed, throws an error and the android cannot tapped.
What should i do in order to make the phone operation again?????

[Q] s2 Camera Failed

Hi,
Just "upgraded" from an old Cyanogen ICS (didn't use the phone for more then a month) to the LPQ Samsung ICS through Odin.
I did wipe cache and dalvik.
Samsung ICS seems to work just fine, however the camera fails. Flashed back a recent Cyanogen rom (cm-9-20120318) and also here the Camera fails.
Camera worked fine when still on unrooted GB 2.3.6 last time I checked about 2 months ago, and I haven't dropped the device afaik.
My guess is that while flashing roms about 2 months ago I did something wrong somewhere... Maybe overwrote the camera firmware with something stupid?
Is there a way to get the camera to work again?
Thanks for listening..
Im not that technically minded but isnt there a firmware update for the camera on the "samsung apps"..er..bit of the phone? maybe installing that will fix it?
Thanks, installed it (on ICS) ...
But the update program crashes...
I think I am going to follow the bricked phone procedure....
Unless someone has a better idea
Well, unfortunately I can't find a original rom package with pit file and the lot (seems to me this comes most close to a very fresh install)
Thought to do this:

Like I said, I am afraid I messed something up while flashing some time ago. (got a Gnote, so didn't bother so much) Flashing a recovery won't hurt (if I can find the damned I9100XXKI3.rar with the pit and such) and I already flashed an official fw, with clean caches and so.
Do note that bricking and firmware aren't even remotely connected. What you're describing sounds like a camera firmware problem and flashing won't help you.
Call *#34971539# and check your Phone/Cam Fw version. What do you see?
Use a stock rom for your phone and try to flash new firmware via Samsung apps or take it to a service center.

Installed 2.3.5, and the Camera firmware update program. This program also force closes.
Now, I'll try to flash kernel and bootloader, as in the recovery post.
Flashed Kernel and Bootloader as in the recovery post, did not help. still "camera failed", *#34971539# still crashes Factory info, Camera FW Update program still force closes.
What more can I do to get the camera working again??
(I must have messed up something while flashing some time ago, I remember also seeing a "dead" android character with his belly open while rebooting in recovery few times...)
Oh, btw, even with non rooted official firmware and kernels, Kies says it cannot update the firmware (2.3.5 and 4.0.3)
Is this because my flash counter is at 4 now, or is there another reason?

I have the same problem, and bad news is that it is not the software issue, it is a problem with hardware. I just discovered (just now ) when i press the phone hard (around simcard area) the camera works fine! Hope this is just loose connection. Going to get my screwdrivers right now...
My E4GT has been acting identical!! I also tried reinstalling EVERYTHING. After reading your posts I starting pressing around on the back of my phone with the back cover off and the camera starting working. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...
same problem
Black screen again
Same problem again!
My phone accidentally spent some time in a bucket full of water (over a minute!). Took me almost an hour to get it working, but unfortunately the camera wasn't working again (black screen). As I have had some bad experience with the camera before, disassembled my phone, disconnected the camera, carefully cleaned everything and I put it all back together. Camera working again!
The whole process is very easy and took me about 20 minutes!
Same problem!
My phone after falling down the camera stopped working (black screen). I changed the camera did not work.
can you help me?
thanks

I tried this when I used the suggested firmware downloaded from Fuscheck (BTU) I'm on O2.
When I typed it in on the keypad I got BTU displayed, clicked it and install, then I got an error saying something like 'must be at least THREE'
It won't install I managed to resolve the situation by downloading and flashing a firmware from Sam-Mobile, but I don't understand my issue, every time I want to upgrade my firmware I have to completely wipe the phone,. (OK I have titanium backup) but that's not the point. Surely there is a way of ODIN flashing a new firmware then re-rooting, without factory reset every time.
Is Fuscheck the best place to get the firmware upgrade?
Any suggestions/ ideas on my situation would be grateful, I can't really be spending half a day trying to unbrick the phone every time there's a update

You can download roms from www.sammobile.com/firmware. Thats where I get them from. Install with Odin v3 3.0.4.
If you are rooted you can flash firmware with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root.

Thanks for that. Helpful post.
I normally use Odin on my PC, and just flash through PDA.
I am rooted so is it just a case of flashing firmware from Sammobile then rooting the phone again (I use CF Root)

[Q] No network acess, no power menu and yellow text appears on s3

Hey
I bought a used s3 so i dont have any idea whether the phone is carrier locked or not but it was rooted when i got it and was on 4.0.4 i wanted to update it and it took me quite sometime to figure it out
I tried odin and many other softwares in start but no success anyhow later on one night my phone was about to turn off and i had to keep it on so i removed the battery stats and the next morning whenever i made a call the call would last for about 6 mins and in the same time cell would show a message i.e. process.adroid.com.phone has stopped working when i pressed OK the signals would go away and after 2-3 secs they would come back on the same hand when somebody called me i wasnt able to pick their calls because the same message i.e. process.adroid.com.phone has stopped working would pop up.
Anyhow finally after 4-5 days i thought of flashing a custom rom becuz i though i had corrupted my modem so i downloaded this file
downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS3/roms/leaked4.2.2/Rooted-I9300XXUFME3-4.2.2.zip
and flashed it. It was in hebrew i guess and after flashing it i stopped getting sound on call both when i received one or made one. I got a YELLOW BOX as well on home screen and app screen. Rest was working fine sim card was detected, i could use whatsapp, listen to songs, wifi worked fine, in short everything except calling worked fine
Then a friend of mine told me that i had installed a wrong rom so he gave me a link and i flashed this rom this time
omega-roms.net/blog/?page_id=763
Version 43.5
I.e. Jb 4.1.2
After flashing this rom i am still getting the yellow box that i got when i flashed my phone to 4.2.2 and i m stuck with emergency calls only everything else works fine. I have checked emei it matches that on the back of phone
Information regarding my phone is
Model Number: GT-I9300
ANDROID VERSION: 4.1.2

1st of all next time buy the phone from someone trusted i bought mine from a close friend and it was almost like new
as for your problem i think it's the sim card doesn't work since the phone might be locked so try galaxy sim unlock from google play if that's the problem you should get the network back
Come on it was working fine a few days back there must be a solution!

You may want to go back to the stock rom using Odin and see if this fixes the issue. That is the only thing I can suggest at this point since you said you've done everything else. When you bought this phone did you swap the sim card? You may also want to get that replaced and see if that works. Good luck.

Yes finally i have removed the microsim using pin i want to see if the same issue persists with any other sim. The sim module must be fine becaue when i removed the sim card it showed insert sim card
About hardware problem. How can you say that? I could make a call 6 mins long and couldnt receive it on my prev 4.0.4 version then later on on Jb 4.2.2 i was able to make calls but with no sound but now i get emergency calls only So this is not a hardware problem and the baseband has changed can it be the reason?
The app says the phone is unlocked so is it actually unlocked or is there any hard secondary lock which this app is not able to detect?

Please read the rules this is not a fix your phone service centre . If you want help don't be rude . Start at the beginning the original post is confusing and much of the process carried out are wrong . Start by factory reset phone and then flash the stock firmware via Odin from sammobile.com that is for your phone and network .But not any 4.2.2 version . Alternative if you are rooted and have CWM recovery is to format sd card system cache data and preload . Boot to download mode and flash stock rom via Odin . Then check your IMEI matches that under the battery . Test phone . jje

You have been answered follow the answer.
You would be far better to read the faqs and guides first as you do not have a clue as to what is what .

Could there be some hardware issue with my phone?
In any case, do factory reset, you may use the full wipe script and delet Google Accounts.
ofic.fw.přes flash odin 4.1.2 and all login again

Possible
But biggest problem is that OP has not a clue due to not bothering to read faqs and guides .
Has probably messed everything up as every step has been clueless and wrong .
AGAIN

[Q] Galaxy S3 stuck at boot. Failed to mount Data, failed to mount EFS

Hello, I have a Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) phone that is not feeling so well.
On startup it freezes indefinitely on the Samsung boot logo.
I am able to get into recovery and download mode.
In recovery I get errors - unable to mount Data, and unable to mount EFS.
The phone is recognized by the computer, both in Kies and Odin so flashing is possible.
It is not rooted and completely stock. Problem is that I don't know what version firmware it had.
There is unbacked information on the phone I'd like to recover.
What I've tried: Within Kies>Firmware upgrade and initialization (second option under tools) I enter the model number and then the serial, but I just get a message along the lines of "please check your model" (I entered GT-I9300).
The phone is generic international version from 2012, untouched (version-wise) since.
I very much appreciate any idea that might fix this. How can I find the right firmware? will it erase my memory? how can I restore the EFS partition?
Stock Rom

Flash it through odin as PDA. Should work fine

Will it work even though it is intended for Android 4.3? The phone originally came with 3.0 or 3.1
Also I believe flashing firmware will not fix EFS?
Jup
Yes it does. It comes with 4.0.4 out of the box And it will work

YES! the new firmware fixed it completely. It is a bit slow, but alas that's probably the phone itself.
To anyone looking in the future:
This problem was caused by a faulty battery - the phone would turn off while working all the time, and eventually it corrupted the data and efs partitions. To my luck upgrading to new firmware fixed the problem.
Thank you.:good:

I have a very important question with this methode.
Is the phone going back to factory settings??
A friend is having the same problem with his S3, but there are some very impotant pictures of him and his wife on the phone that we try to save(she died a view months ago)
My excuses for the bad english
