After I rooted my phone, I found out that the camera, video player and YouTube would not work. The video would not play, but the audio would be heard. Finding on a thread that its the ROM, I unrooted my phone.
This is where the problem starts. Heaps of background apps would keep coming up saying its not responding. These background apps are android.process.acore (which I stopped by clearing user data on the contacts and contacts manager apps); LogsProvider (which I may have solved by clearing the app out of its user data); Messaging (haven't solved yet) and most importantly, Software Update.
This may have been caused because I followed a guide on the galaxy s2 root website (sorry I can't link outside links yet), which unrooted my phone, but put me back to 4.0.3, when my phone was 4.0.4
Now I can't update my phone at all, with either Kies or the system app. May someone please help me? I really want to stay away from a factory reset, and sorry for the long details.
EDIT: Software Update just checked for updates randomly out of nowhere, but now it doesn't find an update for 4.0.4. It's really strange. And Messaging is crashing constantly.
Do a factory reset
BTW did u flash 4.0.4? If yes then flash another kernel via Odin

I am kinda a newbie to rooting, but I think I did flash it, but I kept finding unofficial leaked kernels of 4.0.4 on the net, which all looked suspicious.
And also if your advice is to factory reset, can you please give a quick guide on how to backup everything easily on a non-rooted phone, and also how to factory reset?
EDIT: I factory-reset my phone, with everything now back normal except for one thing. Before, I was able to update to 4.0.4 directly after updating to 4.0.3, but after this problem was solved, it bought me back to 4.0.3, and now won't find 4.0.4.
It's really annoying, as I liked 4.0.4's new features, especially the Wi-Fi connection bug fix and the battery level option. But now that it can't detect it, it's made it very sucky. I can't connect to Kies because the program won't recognise my S2 (even though it has Kies 2.0 compatibility)

Sup,
So, I flashed mutliple custom ROM's when I got this device like any other crack-flasher would but I then realised I much prefer it to be running stock with root access until an AOSP ROM comes along.
So I came from Omega 4.0 to stock LE8 in the UK, ever since I've flashed this stock ROM (Which is odexed) I keep getting the message "Sorry, messaging has unfortunately stopped" every time I open the app. I've tried wiping data/cache/dalvik and flashing in Odin again, same issues. I then went back to another custom ROM (HyperGalaxy) then went back to stock to test, still the same.
I have also tested an inverted AOSP 4.0.4 Mms app which worked on Omega, but didn't work on stock (Got the same message)
Data of the Messaging app has been wiped, i've disabled the app, rebooted, enabled again, still the same issues.
I've searched and I found 2 other threads with the same thing, but noone has been helpful enough yet.
It seems like the phone still thinks its running a Deodexed ROM but I need to get it back to full working order since I need to text something.
Any help is appreciated.
Try a factory reset...

Probably didn't make it clear enough, I did that already. 3 times to be exact.
i have the same issue. Need help.
i get this message with multiple apps.
all of them are standard run of the mill things like browser, messages, video player. My phone is only a week old and completely stock
some real bugs in this phone still that need sorting asap. poor effort by samsung really
Same issue here, has anyone found a fix for it yet?
I only encounter this in hyper x rom. So far so good in omega
Ok,I had this issue when I tried to install different firmware and modems using Mobile Odin. It fully resolved when I flashed back the official UK firmware and modem (le8) using normal desktop Odin. No force closes whatsoever since. Incidently, I'm now using LE9 firmware with UK CSC, rooted, with no issues at all. I used chainfires recovery, then flashed superuser to root.
Hope this helps.

i got this everytime i clear cache and or wipe data from recovery before flashing new fw's.
so never wipe anything before flashing. if u already wiped, then flash it all over again and it will be all ok
I am having real issues with 4.0.4, When I upgraded to ICS from GB I did the usual clear caches, factory reset and all the rest, but performance was slow, the phone would restart, the phone would lock up resulting in having to remove the battery to get it going again, I've had apps close unexpectedly, launcher crashing and restart, it was a major pain in the behind. I thought OK I will install a custom ROM so I installed CM9, did the usual reset procedure etc but still performance is not great, its like the phone is struggling with memory or something, and yesterday opened the BBC news app and the entire phone locked up again resulting in having to remove the battery, so the same issues are happening on a custom rom that I had on stock.
So I am wondering is it something with 4.0.4 or is it something with my phone? Memory problems etc.

- update your apps to latest versions via playstore for best compatibility.
- don't restore app + data using titanium backup after upgrade, or flashing CM9, it will drag down the performance. You can however, restore apps only.

You might be onto something, I used TB to restore app & data on CM9

and that's the reason why you have sluggish performance.
If you read the warnings on CM9 thread, first post, it's categorically started there too

If you have been rooting in the past then it might be a problem for you my i9100 has ics 4.0.4 no problems flawless.Try downloading a stock rom from samfirmware.com
Hi folks:
I have a GT-I9300 version of the Galaxy S3. Recently let it do updates (from notifications area) to 4.1.1. The phone now has a constant error of "Samsung Cloud Data Relay has stopped working" Additionally I can no longer use WIFI becuase it keeps saying that the netork is disabled due to a poor connection. (Prior to update never had this issue)
How can I revert back to 4.04 android. Can I simply do a reset to factory defaults, or must I flash the rom somehow?
any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this is a bit of an urgent problem.
Best regards, Dave Melnyk
Try factory reset first and see if it fixes your problem if not flash a new rom using odin

if factory reset does not help, flash rom of ICS SamMobile for your country.

backup sms and contacts before reset
Just a further part of question. Prior to doing the reset / flash is there a way to backup sms messages and contacts to an external SD card or a PC WITHOUT using some other app that needs to be downloaded (for restoration later) - i.e. without WiFi impossible to download a new app. (Dont have data available)...
Best regards and thanks to all in advance who offer suggestions... Dave Melnyk
I believe the Vodafone UK 4.1.2 update has only become available this week, updated mine last night OTA - previous update was OTA and worked fine. I constantly get the 'Unfortunately android.process.media has stopped working error' and it's also not keen to load the keyboard, and the battery life is now hopeless.
I've googled the error message and I can see that it's a common problem, and the poor battery life is linked to the error message I'm constantly getting. I've tried to raise a thread on the Vodafone Eforum, but there seems to be some problem trying to login at the moment (the forum software has always been hopelessly slow and glitchy).
After all my googling, despite it being a common issue, I can't seen any real solution - can anyone help?
Re-flash the 4.1.2 firmware via Odin. But this time go inte Recovery and wipe data/cache and Dalvik cache if necessary before flashing.
You're right it's a common problem, and wiping usually fix it. Try it.
Cheers.
Thanks, I presume Odin requires the phone to be rooted?
This is the first android phone I've had where I've been happy with the standard rom. I've connected to Kies and it seems to think there's a further update available, I'm backing up and I'll try this first.
If that doesn't work I'll be looking to root and try some of the custom roms.
Ok try Kies update.
And NO, Odin does not require your phone too be rooted. You can although root your phone via Odin.
Cheers.

I installed that very rom using mobile odin had no problems at all. After which you can keep it as stock but you able to remove all the bloatware, bock adds etc as you always have root privileges.

Hi everyone,
I have an original Tablet S which is running quite badly (it's very laggy, and apps stop responding regularly), and it's getting worse. My first thought was to do a factory reset, but I'm wondering whether that will fix these sorts of problems, or whether I need to reflash the firmware to start completely from scratch (or does a factory reset have the same result?)
If a reflash would be worth trying, how would I go about doing that? Can I use the ALLinONE tool to do it? I'm running unrooted, stock 4.0.3 R5A.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks!

These issues are in the firmware, factory resetting will remove the issues but then it will do the same thing again.

In my opinion, your problem is more likely being cause by the apps you have installed. A virgin install of 4.0.3r5a is fairly responsive and has very few bugs. Do a factory data reset via settings or system recovery to erase all non-factory installed apps and data and then sparingly re-install your apps until you notice the problem again to find out which app or apps are causing the problem. Free ad-based constantly-running-in-the-background-and-calling-home apps are the ones most likely to cause problems.
