[solved] com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly and no network connection

hello everyone,
i'm a newbie and just tried to flash the rom of my phone to a newer version and then i got to the point where i needed help.
my phone is x10mini baseband m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015 with kernel 2.6.29 and 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware.
first i root my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833722
then i install xrecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878426x and copied everyting to system/bin ...
after wiping the settings (factory settings) in xrecovery, installing MIMICM6 1.00 and restarting, i got an error message saying "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" repeatedly (each time two messages) and also no network (gsm) connectivaty.
then i though that maybe i need another rom.. so i tried xCyanogenMini - Gigglebread - v10 and got the same thing. same with Srom-2.3.3Gingerbread-v1 and then ... i decided to try to go back to factory-empty-backup and i got network connectivaty and no error messages whatsoever.
so it seems that my phone dont like non-official roms?
any help in this matter ?
thanks,
elad

1)use SEUS to clean up and install the official FW.
2)root and then install Xrecovery
30backup your fw using Xrecovery
4)copy to your sd card and rename the downloaded CM1 as update
5)install through Xrecovery using the update zip option
6)only then do a factory reset---REMEMBER only after you install your custom ROM
7)reboot
NOTE---ensure that you format your sd card(and avoid having any partition) before you start all this but of course after backing up the contents of your sd card so that you can copy all of it back again.
Best wishes.

how to make partition of sd card?

Click to expand...

very easy--start by reading http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
....download to your pc the free software,connect your phone with the sd card in it,mount and then use what you have read carefully.
One thumb rule to remember is that the size of the partition that you create should be not more than 10% the size of your sd card---eg if you have an sd card that is 2GB in size.don't make a partition larger than 200MB....
For most of your needs,it is better to create and ext 3 partition,of course PRIMARY.

hello sathkartha and thank you very much for your quick answer !
what you described is just what i did... step by step... without success so far.
i will try to do anything again from scratch (starting with the SEUS) and hope it will do better this time... will keep u posted.
thanks again
app2sd
btw, i wanted 2 ask - according to the root article in the forum there are two main stages, the root itself and then the installataion of app2sd usind the adb shell... so.. i wanted to ask what is the app2sd for ? is it required ?
thanks!
hey,
sorry about the multiple posts... i've just tried to redo everything frmo scratch.
i payed extra attention to what i actually need todo lol since i'm still little new in this.. and i think that everything was done right (root, xrec, update rom ...) but i still get the same result. right after the initial (2mins) boot when i get the android logo and the 'click to begin' text, i'm getting the same annoying com.android.phone error and i see no network connection on the icons on the top bar.
what can be the cause? the phone seems to be working fine with the original sony rom and the other roms seems to be working fine... only with no network which brings those annyoing messages.
any ideas???
thanks
ohh this is annoying! no computer have come to defeat me so far (i'm a pretty advanced user hehe).., and as u can guess i'm still playing with this thing.
currently the biggest progress that i could make (same on every rom) is that if i'm able to tap the phone into airplane mode the errors stops (but still no network connection ofcourse). then if i leave it on airplace mode, reboot and disable airplane i'm able to go into the network setting for a sec before it crush and even get the list of providers. for a sec it seems like its connecting and then.. the same error. i tried to disable network data, to set only 2g providors.. and any setting i've tried so far gave me the same annoying com.android.phone error.
from what i can understand.. the error that i have is related to the sim card somehow? so i tried to take the usim card off and see whats up.. the result? no error but still no network connection (duh), but this time it seems like everything is working fine? i'm able to get into all of the network settings without airplane mode and etc and list the network providers but nothing more as u can guess because i dont have a sim installed.
anyway, i'm hopeless, dunno how to continue from here.
needs ideas!
thanks again everyone! and btw: this forum kickass!

just wondering---after installation of CM1 and when your phone boots and you see the opening screen with a green android with the text,you click on the android to begin okay?On the following and subsequent screens,click on 'skip' button instead of sign in etc right upto the stage it ends with 'finish'.
You will then see the launcher and the home screen from which go to 'settings'---wireless networks----mobile networks-----now on this list check and enable data traffic.By default,this is not enabled and it will not facilitate data.
This is the only thing I can think of that you may have to redo properly and wish you all the luck.
Best wishes.
no success yet...
i tried also cm2 and cm1 without success (everything is same), on each of the versions that i've installed i could somehow skip the initial setup and make some testings and all of the versions gave the same results - whenever the phone isnt on airplane mode there is an error message repeating twice each time with about a sec delay between the 'double error popups', in the sec between i'm able to use the phone.. until what i do is being halt by the error message.
once or twice (when starting the phone on airplane mode - aka starting airplane mode and rebooting) i was able to use the phone for a min or so each time with airplane mode off and with network connection (coudlnt make phonecalls but received income calls).
it seems like there is something going very wrong when the phone tries to read the usim card, the only thing i can think of is something related to the service proviers here in israel ? dunno ?
anyway, for now i gave up testings... because it doenst seem to work :-( but my phone is rooted and xrecovery-ready for future testing so please if u have an idea ... lets try! ;-) hehe
thanks again,
cheers,
elad
hey dude
the problem is as you said
the phone trying to read the usim card but it cant
i bet you are on Cellcom
the only way to fix this problem is to replace your usim card
as you know , cellcom holds yellow and white usim cards
and probably you got the yellow one
changin to the white usim will solve your mystery
if you try orange sim it will work on you phone without that error its
throwing at you

[Q] Phone keeps crashing, unable to open anything!

Hey guys, this is my first time starting a thread on this site, so please bear with me for a bit. Earlier today my S2 was working fine, i was browsing the net, chatting and etc. But when i started my "whats app" it started lagging for a bit, because i was chatting to a group. Then all of a sudden when i lock my phone and later on unlocked it, it said the phone was running on "Safe Mode". Soo i google'd "how to exit safe mode on galaxy" and it gave me a few solutions, one of them told me to switch off the phone and remove the battery for a minute. I did that, and all of a sudden when i unlock my phone, applications keep crashing including the interface itself ("TWLauncher" i guess that's its name) Soo please help me as i don't know much about this. My phone is not even rooted, i could manage to open the task manager but that's all. I can't even use the usb as it will crash again. All help would be greatly appreciated =)
*small update* I could access my settings and i could switch to the ics launcher but i still can't use the net and stuff =S
Basically I've noticed the default apps that comes with the phone are acting up :S

I can't do that really =S Because i have alot of important data on my phone, this problem came out of nowhere. I hope i could find a solution before referring to that
You have not backed up your data ??? Nor do you have a nandroid backup ???
If so you need to access the internal storage of the phone via USB mass storage and copy off what you can .
Alternative methods such as rooting and installing a no wipe custom rom will probably keep your data but void warranty .

Problem is, i never backed up my data =S
And i can't access the USB mass storage, the thing keeps crashing and telling me to "force close" even if i try reporting the wifi isn't connecting to the network soo things are really messed up =S
I don't mind rooting my phone, as long as you could provide me a step by step guide on how to root my phone without loosing my data.

If you are not worried about your applications you just do factory reset of the phone and try
settings/privacy/factory data reset
if you are not able to do this,
Volume Up + Home + Power brings your Phone into Recovery Mode.
Volume up: Highlight up
Volume down: Highlight down
Home: select
Power: back
select wipe data factory reset
if your phone keep crashing and you will not be able to factory reset... then you can did it from recovery mode from stock ..
Just hold power-menu-vol up from off condition then chooswl wipe data from recovery mode
if u thank me then i will thank you ( 이 승 기 )

1. To see your firmware version go to system settings/about device
2. Might be you have corrupted files on your internal sd card.
Try following:
- connect your phone in UMS mode (not MTP) to PC via USB cable
- check the sd card for errors from PC: /right click > properties/tools/error-checking

[Q] Can't install app. Says out of storage

Hello I'm new to android and am fascinated with this phone however I'm having a weird issue come up. I'm on mi1 and whenever I try to install WidgetLocker lockscreen 2.4.1 anywhere except the Playstore it stops the install and says I'm out of storage even though I have over 6gb of free space. May someone help me with this issue? It's only with WidgetLocker lockscreen. Thank you in advance!

Android box - Two problems one created another..

Hi all,
I have purchased a T3 Mini Android box running Android 7.1.
I initially had no problems with it however the box for some reason stopped being able to write data to the SD card I am wondering if something I hit in developer options messed it up. To be honest if I ever change anything in there I change it back if it causes and issue so im not even 100% sure thats the problem. I have already tried all methods to get the SD card going and still am unable to write data via the android box to the card however when I use WinSCP and get into the box I am able to drag and drop data to the SD card just fine the card also works normally on my Windows computer aswell so I can confirm there is no problem with the SD card itself.
While trying to work out if it was an dev option I had changed I turned off USB debugging thinking if its off I can turn it back on. Sure enough it created a new problem for me that being that the remote will no longer work with the box.
All I would like to do is get the remote going and basically reset this box to how it was when it came in the box I got it it (when the remote was working I did try the reset function in the settings menu to wipe the box which had no effect to solve the SD card issue). I would really appreciate it if someone could please help me.
I am able to ping my android box as it was connected to my wifi prior to the remote disabling.
Thanks in advance,
Bandit.
Ok the remote issue has been solved but I still can't get the android box to write data to the sd card any help please?
