thanks!!!

A factory reset won't fix things you accidently deleted. Factory reset deletes apps and data and returns things to default settings.
If you deleted something you would have to reflash your rom.

[Q] MAPservicesamsung process stopped

On stock ICS with factory reset. This happens randomy a couple of times each day. Never happened on GB.
Same on my friend's phone. Any suggestions?
I had the same issue when I tried sending text messages or opened my inbox. It caused a lag of 10-15 seconds.
It seems to be related with bluetoothmap.apk.
I never use bluetooth, so I wiped the bluetooth appdata and deleted all the bluethoot apps with titanium backup (made a backup first just in case).
This fixed it for me.

Download the package file, Reflash your official rom via odin, not over kies.

I'm not sure if that will work for borchgrevink.
In my case the problem started to occur because I flashed the original rom with Odin.
For me this issue was caused by restoring data using Titanium backup for SMS. To fix you MUST never restore data this way. Instead use SMS backup and restore app.
Better still install go SMS and uninstall stock SMS app using TB for good!

Well this happened to me when upgrading to ICS without reset, and also after a factory reset.
Never happened on GB. Is it an OS bug or rogue app?

It's something to do with changes to the SMS storage database as far as I can tell.

AFAIK, this apk is "useless" and can be freezed.
I may be wrong but no FC on my S2

Hehe, yes, but I don't want to root...

I don't want to root either and I keep getting the same problem. Anyone who has the this should contact Samsung until they fix it, they should treat us better after we buy their expensive phone. The Chief Exec of Samsung Mobile is at [email protected] they'll fix it is a few people email in.
Just emailed [email protected] let's see if they reply back

Question about flashing back to stock.

Hi, I recently flashed back to stock Rom and all was good. My device status was normal, flash counter reset. But today after a week it says modified. Can any one help me out on this. I don't wanna keep flashing stock every time it says modified.
Thanks.

I've tried that but it still says modified.:-(

Just an update. It's gone back to normal by its self. I haven't installed or installed anything. I find thing kind of weird. How is it possible to do this?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
use triangle away from playstore
There will be no triangle away without root...
THe only thing you can do is:
Root, triangle away, reflash stock if youd like to have an out of the box phone
I have done all this. But it changed by its self to modified and has now gone back to normal :-$ that's what I find weird lol

Tab asking for a password after boot up

I tried flashing to stock with Odin and obviously messed up.
Tab goes thru boot up process to this screen.
No clue as to what password is asking for as I've tried all of mine.
Please help before my wife kills me

Tried flashing this with Odin and the 2nd pic is what I get them it boots into the same password screen but in German.

Ok, figured it out. If anyone runs into this same problem reboot into stock recovery, do a factory wipe, wipe cache, then reboot.
If I'm able to help anyone that may run into this issue don't hesitate to pm me.

SOLVED: Having some data issues

So I got my S4 rooted, installed TWRP and downloaded Foxhound only to find out that it caused all my mobile data to stop working. So I went ahead and downloaded Synergy ROM, did a factory wipe, installed and now I get data but I have lost 4G. Any idea as to why this is happening? Thanks

[Q] Rooting and Factory Reset problems

I was rooted via Jcase method and did a factory reset yesterday, after that I noticed that my phone goes into a sleep that can not be woken up unless I pull the battery out and the camera does not work. I only unrooted via Voodoo before I did the reset. I did another reset and did not install any applications and it seems like the sleep of death stoped but the camera is still not working, since jcase method removes Spritebud, is that the reason why I'm having the issues and if I return the phone to tmobile for a replacement will that pose as a problem?

I recommended performing a kdz flash to start off fresh. A factory reset will not remove any changes you made to the system image. Just use jcase to root and install busybox.

Do you think that if I reroot now, that the problem will stop? (Via jcase)
Edit: Nope that didn't work
