Looking for a little help please.
Trying to return to stock and I have flashed 2 different stock roms from samfirmware, nd each time when booted it tells me messenger has stopped working.
If I open the app it force closes.
Any idea what might be causing this? I need it back to stock ASAP as I am selling the phone.
It's starting to give me a real headache at the moment
Thanks in advance

Re root your device with cfroot. Before flashing back to stock run triangle away and then go into cwm, wipe factory reset and then go to mounts and storage and format system and then data. Go to advance clear dalvik cache and then go into download mode and flash stock again. This should help,I flagged back to stock following this procedure today and it worked a charm.

did you do factory reset ?

i did a factory reset but not sure if it all went through properly. gonna root and triangle away now and report back. thanks guys
sounds like it you didn't wipe data/cache!
I've gotten that error many times also. It has nothing to do with the wipe. Just install the same ROM over again. Installing again take care of it. Good luck!

Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB

Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.

Good morning guys. I'm having trouble with my Samsung galaxy SGH-I777. Every time I open an app that uses he camera (ie camera, barcode scanner, flashlight, camera) he flash goes off then it just reboots he phone. I've already done a factory restore. I even went into recovery mode and wipe cache and did a restore from there. I've also just downloaded the new ICS update and it still didn't fix the problem. Please help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
when you say factory restore does that mean you completely wiped the phone and flashed back to stock rom. If not, that's what I would do to determine if we're looking at a hardware or software issue.
No I didn't flash it back to stock. How would I even do that?

OK I flashed a new rom but it didn't work. Flashed back to ics still doesn't work

I would flash back to stock. If it still does it, bring it in to at&t service center and show them. They can give you a replacement. Or you can call them. Just make sure your on non rooted stock firmware.
a full wipe and reflash is required before posting any problems. because99 % of the time it's user error. Did you fully wipe system, cache, data, and run the kernel cleaning scriptbefore posting this issue?

Yes. I did a full wipe and restore. Installed a new rom and still nothing can I maybe install a new camera apk?

IF this is happening across roms, and assuming correct firmware, with a clean install (factory reset, no misc apps installed) then I'd say you have a hardware problem. If you've flashed incorrect firmware then a reset won't help you until you flash back to the correct firmware. Of course all of this moot if its physical damage caused by dropping the phone or maybe water damage. If you're completely stock and haven't subjected the phone to any physical abuse, then return the phone for a new one.

Try flashing back to stock ICS with Odin. Then root and do all necessary steps. After you do all that DL the ROM you want and wipe data, cache, wipe system and dalvick cache. Now flash the ROM. Reboot phone, let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Try that and see if it helps.

Just finished trying that. flashed the stock back in but now the stock has also gone unstable. even small things like accessing the settings menu causes a reboot. Almost turning into a nightmare. Thanks for your help
Are you using correct technique? A factory reset the wiping all caches? What baseband is in the About Phone?
The fastest way to recover is to use Kies firmware and initialization to clean it up.
I read through many threads and followed the technique described there in but seems like when I flashed the black star rom something messed up. I am unsure what. Is there any way to get the phone to the default state? Thanks in advance for all your help with this nightmare

I did put the stock back on using odin but the same problem is happening with stock now. I have the lg3 baseband now listed above could that be the cause?

Yes, that is a t-mobile modem. If you are at&t you want the LF6 modem.
Kies emergency firmware recovery will restock your phone.
Thanks to all for your help.
Whoa.....finally nightmare ended. I used the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731654worked like a charm and got back my phone.
Even though I have the ATT baseband LF6 Tmo calling sill works fine
Mods: please close this thread
I had the same problem but the AT&T guy had me call the AT&T support line and they sent a replacement without even asking me to do troubleshooting.
question..
why is it?...
that every time i use the return my phone to factory settings whether thru the "privacy" or thru CWM...
I GET BRICKED AT THE SAMSUNG VIBRANT SCREEN AND I HAVE TO KEEP USING ODIN TO BRING MY PHONE
BACK TO LIFE??
thank you all for ur time in this matter
Do you mean on a ROM like CM10? Or AOKP?
Sometimes this happens when you wipe because you wipe the necessary files that a ROM need. Sometimes a ROM(like stock) doesn't get affected by this. But most custom ones will
This is a universal problems with any phone.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Nah.. it was happening on stock. Apparently I can flash custom roms if I DON'T factory wipe first. I only need to wipe cache/dalvik and BAM! now I'm running cm7 wondering if I should try and flash an ics rom now or just stay on cm7 and count my blessings lolol...
Thanks for ur time

I have a note 2 that I kept stock for a long time. And decided to root it about a week ago. I used the latest casual one click root. And it seemed all dandy initially until i went between a few different roms and it decided it wanted to shut off randomly and not boot back up past the note 2 screen on its own. But the odd part was it booted while connected to the wall or to the computer. So I flashed to 4.1.2 stock via odin and the issue still remains. I can only use it fine on charger. Is there something else im missing on flashing back to stock?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
Hmm when you installed 4.3 did you do so wiping everything could be an app causing the problem. Try it from brand new with no apps installed and see if that helps. Could be also a radio issue as well.

Yeah I wiped everything. Actually used odin twice to revert to stock 4.1.2. I tried a few cm nightlies before it began. Is there anything else I should flash on top of whats already been done?

I've found that even after using ODIN to go back to stock 4.1.2, that there's still leftover data on the phone from custom ROM's. I've read where others had the same issue. I don't know why Odin doesn't seem to fully wipe everything ... but this has been my personal experience.
The way I've fixed this (and all this may not be necessary).. . is that after Odin'ing back to stock 4.1.2, I boot into stock recovery, then do a full factory reset and wipe cache. Then I booted into the stock Rom and used the bypass setup trick (touch the left side of the screen right above Emergency... then right side, then left, then right again, and then volume up... this should bypass setup to save time).
Then went into phone's settings and performed a factory reset from within the stock Rom too...
Finally... (because I'm a bit OCD... so this is probably not necessary), but I ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 one more time and then proceeded with using CASUAL again to root /unlock the bootloader).
I know this is a pain in the butt... but this has worked for me. Maybe others will have some better suggestions.
(Edit : Forgot to mention that if you're not wanting to return to stock to start over again... check out this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921) on how to flash a stock recovery for the purposes of doing a proper data wipe... then can you odin your custom recovery back to the device without having to fully restore to stock... this can be a real time saver. Please make sure to thank the OP for the helpful info).
So in the end I tried to reset from stock recovery and wipe cache. Than do a reset from the settings and the issue presisted. But now I have root and recovery as well. So I may give a rom a try.

This is totally a guess, but I'm thinking that you may have a battery problem... and it's just a coincidence that these problems started happening around the same time that you rooted. You may try replacing the battery to see if that fixes things.... (you can get one pretty cheap off ebay or Amazon).
Yeah thats odd. I had bought another battery from a phone store I use to work at and have no issues now, back on 4.1.1 rooted.
