So I flashed the stock JB ROM for the AT&T variant. Now, whenever I try to do pretty much anything I get a popup saying "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." I was going to flash back to stock using the stock ROM that's posted in the development forum but the phone also won't go into media sync mode when connected to my computer (it did before flashing).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which ROM specifically? There were some that had this issue (one of the Korean and one of the Canadian (e973 based) that were changed for the AT&T version had this issue. When you restored your apps did you restore data too? Several of the ROM's have this issue when data is included. If you restored data, then reflash the ROM and restore the apps without data.
The SnowJB ROM is the most stable 4.x rom that has all critical features (camera, GPS, etc). If you didn't flash it, you may want to give it a try.
Edit: regarding media sync, do you mean MTP? If you can't connect MTP can you connect PC software or Camera (PTP)? If those don't work then download the ROM via wifi. If nothing else, go to original development and download the CM or CFX (SR 14 or 15) roms. They are much smaller than the 4.1.2 ROM's (just under 200MB), so they'll transfer quickly via wifi (or your data plan and won't kill you plan limits, should you go the data plan root). They JB 4.2.2 and work great, but don't have working camera or GPS, so many people can't use them as DD's. They should allow you to connect MTP so you can copy a different 4.1.2 ROM to you device.

"debloated AT&T" is what I'm using (sorry I didn't make that clear, I've been fighting this all day).
Yes, I do mean MTP. I actually just tried to use PC software and camera with no luck. I tried wiping everything, reflashing the ROM and applying the permission fixes in CWM but the errors still occur.
I'm trying to grab CFX via wifi now. Thanks for the help!

Some other tricks that fixed similar issues for others:
1) use a different USB port
2) use a different USB to micro cable
3) reboot PC/Laptop (standard windows fix is to reboot 3 times, to see if it fixes the prob, before calling their helpless desk). I had to do this when I disconnected the phone without switching to charge only. I seem to recall that it took 2 reboots to finally get everything reset, so Windows would recognize the device was connected.

I actually tried three different cables and two different machines in completely separate locations but the problem persisted throughout all. I did try rebooting twice last night. Didn't go for a third.
I finally got CFX on it this morning and the phone was recognized by the computer immediately. I'm going to flash SnowJB onto it to see if the same thing happens.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I have a major issue with my WiFi and reboots.
Background: I am using an ATT phone within the UK on T-Mobile network.
Randomely, the other day, the WiFi turned off and when I turned it back on, it says Error....
I have tried everything I can think of; wiping and reinstalling rom, erasing everything in fastboot, updating the radio (further question on that) and also kernels! Finally I tried FruitCake to get back to stock, still no luck!!
Radio: Are radio's carrier specific, i.e. could I flash a radio meant for Europe to replace the ATT one? (I am on .36)
What can I do now, please. Thanks

If it helps, i accidentally formatted the PDS partition a while back and the reason for reboot is AP KERNEL PANIC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having similar problems. Just last night my phone started rebooting frequently after having turl's v8 build of cm9 for probably a week and it was working great. However, now I have tried wiping everything, putting on different cm7 or cm9 builds and what I have come to the conclusion is anytime I turn the WiFi on, it reboots.
It is not even connecting to anything, just turning it on makes it reboot. I was on the .36 radio with this issue, I tried using the .37P radio and it did not fix it.
Does anyone have any other ideas to try and fix?
Benny,
Do you get the option to turn it on? I'm on cm9 and it'll show up like the attached after it reboots.
No. I dont have that screen. It just says wifi error and Bluetooth crashes as well....

From the other threads I have read, I think we are boned. It seems like the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chipset is borked and the only fix other people have gotten is through an actual repair. I hope you are under warranty - I'm going to revert to stock and hope they accept it.

But, how come whenever I flash a new rom, the WiFi will work temporarily, i.e. it would connect, obtain IP etc for a few minutes then just not work until I reflash?
Surely that is not hardware?

Did you use Titanium Backup, and restore apps like Maps, Music, and YouTube? People are saying this can cause issues.
Also did you restore call logs after flashing? I experienced my wifi and mobile networking dying after doing that on only some of the new roms out there lately. It's a bug with one of the base roms, that a lot of custom roms are based off of. It was fixed with a new base rom version, but some of the custom roms have yet to officially update. Updates are under way though. Try out Morrison's 0.7 and see if you get the same result. It's been updated.
Although, you could be having a completely different issue. If you mean you can just leave it running after flashing and the wifi dies, I don't know what to say.

Tried all of the above and still nothing unfortunately. Just want to update on symptoms of the phone if that helps:
Everything eventually gets more and more buggy, even recovery is really laggy and slow
Data will stop after a few days use, and only fix that i know of is to reflash
WiFi does not work, it connects for about 30 seconds after a reflash, but then nothing.
Logcat says - Failed to Load WiFi Driver (after reporting WiFi HUNG)
The phone can crash when I plug in the MicroUSB to charge, when it restarts it says AP KERNEL PANIC.
I have tried everything except for flashing via RSD lite, do you think that could work?
Thanks
BUMP,
Any help at all with this unique situation would be very helpful.

I had USB connection working OK a few weeks ago but not now. It connects through fastboot and abd, but in normal device on mode, it will not show the internal or external devices anymore. I uninstalled the derives and reinstalled, but no luck. I also tried a different cable. I also could not mount the SD with 4Ext and tried different computer it was also set up on.
I am on latest Energy ROM (7-30-1012) but am not sure if I was on an earlier Energy ROM when I last connected. I was on the previous one when i tried to connect yesterday, so updated to the latest with no success.
Are USB connections working OK on Energy ROMs? If so, anyone have any suggestions.
I am making a backup and going to restore the OTA
Update - works OK with ICS OTA backup - so it is Energy ROM in this case.

Regardless of the Rom you are running, When trying to mount the USB in recovery, the rom you are running would have no bearing on whether it works in recovery or not. I myself run Energy Rom, and it work fantastic. If u decide to go with Energy Rom again, i recommend a full wipe. No phone is the same. Random issues do occur.

I thought of that with respect to recovery - wondering if mounting SD works with 4ext.
I restored Energy 6-19 and it connected fine, so probably a bad install of the latter versions. Good news in any case, as I was afraid I had a hardware issue (connection socket, etc.)
Just flashed 7-30 version again (without full wipe as before) and now see both SDs OK - strange....
Try fixing permissions in recovery. I had that issue once and fixing permissions fixed it. Not saying it will work with everything but its worth a shot.

i'll tried to full wipe the rom and install again ,but still same problem
I've been a lurker here for nearly two years now. But this time I wanted to make an account.
I installed JellyBam 3.3.0 yesterday which is based on CM10. It's an AMAZING ROM but unfortunately I have to go back to stock since I got the same problem than the OP.
I got the problem "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." While I was transferring my mp3s on my SDCard.
The problem occurs randomly and also occurs if I copy file on internal storage of the phone.
I tested my SDCard. There's no bad sector on it
I changed switch usb cable... the problem still occurs
I deleted the usb drivers and re-install it . Still no luck.
I went back to stock ICS 4.0.1 this morning and file transfert work perfectly.
That's crazy stuff...then again, crazy stuff happens.
Problem
Oddly enough, I am having the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. On my 5th? phone, but came with IMM76K instead of JRO03O (VZW). Unlocked and rooted and flashed updated image. Never have I seen this happen since I've been using Android (HeroC days). I'm going to reset, relock, and report back.

I'm pretty sure it's a firmware issues and not hardware.
As I mentioned earlier, I switched back to stock on my S2 and everything is perfect now (minus the fact that everything is not smooth as JB)
Yep, its definitely software problem.
Used a few roms on my S2 before, it didnt occur on any other, including last official JB.
On CM10.1 when copying files from PC into internal memory, i get same error - it copies few files, and the denies to copy for the next few ones.
any ideas?

@SystemC - I think I've found the reason, which is actually pretty stupid ,)
The problem was with Odin running in the background ^_^ it was somehow interfering with USB transfer. And I reflashed phone 4 times trying to debug it... hahaha ^_^ what a failure

I had the same problem, found one workaround that worked for me. I always copy my music to my music folder in my sd card. So after I got the occasional files that wouldn't copy, I just copied them straight to the sdcard, not in the Music folder. No error message. Don't know why this is happening, definetly a software thing.

This is a ROM problem (I have this problem too) so don't worry about your device. I'd recommend switching to ParanoidAndroid (where WiFi works) and connecting to your network, then flashing back to CM11. If you care about data then make a Nandroid backup and after reinstalling CM do advanced restore and just restore data.
Step-by-step:
1. Download PA 4.4.2 (in the Original Android Development forums for this device)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Full backup
4. Wipe, and install PA as per the instructions on the original post in the PA thread
5. Boot into PA, set up, connect to WiFi
6. Boot into recovery
7. Install CM11 but don't wipe. This is a little risky but mostly you shouldn't have a problem, since you haven't done anything on PA . 99% of the time you can restore to a backup if anything goes wrong.
8. (Optional) In the recovery choose advanced restore and restore data ONLY. this will restore your original apps and shouldn't cause any problems since the apps are originally from the same CM11 environment.
Hope I helped.

If this is your problem, and flashing a radio works for a while, then try more radios. There are a few lists of hybrid radios in the general area for the e970. Though, I doubt this is a radio problem as when the stock ROM is flashed WiFi works with pretty much any radio, so I find it somewhat weird that using a new radio fixes the issue for you.

Same is happening with me(CM11 M4)
when i turn on the wifi it scans n shows all the available networks.
when i select mine to connect, as usual it asks password.
after entering password; all that happens is it shows "saved" in wifi list.
nothing else happens.
i have tried connecting all types of wifi networks.
Also on the same line, i cant start the Wifi hotspot as well
after clicking on Portable hotspot it keeps on showing "Turning hotspot on..." for infinity.
I was also having wifi issues. For me, it was because my phone still had the ICS radios. Once I flashed the JB radios everything started working great. maybe that is your issue?
Would like some help. I have flashed CM 11 and can't make calls. It says mobile network not available. Tried flashing AOKP rom as well and same thing. Mobile data works fine, although i have gotten a popup twice that says 'Google Play Services not supported by your device, please contact your manufacturer' (no noticible issues from this, google stuff i've tried so far works). I have included a screenshot so you can see my baseband and rom version, etc.
Now, i had a great deal of trouble getting a rom flashed to start with, CWM put me into a bootloop and TWRP wouldn't flash anything because it said it couldn't mount /storage when i tried. Used Philz advanced CWM (love it btw, will be using it from now on). Still wouldnt flash the hltespr specific CM11 version so had to use the unified hlte version (it gave me the status 7 asserts issue, but editing the asserts out just gave me a bad file error when flashing). I wiped data/cache/dalvik between each flashing. I don't know if any of that would have bearing on this problem, just including any details i can. Any advice?

Have you upgraded your bootloader to NH7? I know most of the newly-updated CM-based ROMs require you to be on NH7 before flashing. That's most-likely why you weren't able to flash the htlespr ROMs. The unified ROMs no longer include the correct APNs for Sprint, so that's why you don't get service on it. I don't know why mobile data works on it.

No, didnt realize that i needed to do that. I'll do some research on it because i don't have any idea how to update the bootloader. If you have a link to a good tutorial that would be wonderful! Thanks!
Ok so i tried that, found this tutorial, followed it, no luck. Tried full wipe/reset after that to see if it would let me install the hltespr versions, still no dice. Same situation, mobile data works, calls don't. Will have to wait till daylight to try texting so i don't wake anyone up but i suspect that texting won't work either. Has anyone experienced this and fixed it? Lol i really didn't drop $100 on a phone to be saddled with all the Samsung and Sprint baloney that it comes with, don't wanna unroot....

Anyone have ideas on this? Have continued to try fooling around with the udater-script file to resolve the status 7 problem so I can install the hltespr variant, still no dice. Please someone help!

Sorry, I typically don't have access to XDA forums on the weekend, so couldn't answer your question till now.
You flashed only the baseband/modem, not the Bootloader. If you want to update the Bootloader, you need to use ODIN to flash the Complete OTA NH7 Update.
In order to update the Bootloader, you need to make sure that you use the PC ODIN (not the mobile one) and that you completely power off the phone before you enter download mode (don't access download mode by using the extended power menu when shutting down the phone). I don't think you need to do the battery pull that Freeza had in his instructions (I didn't do it when I ODIN-flashed the NH7 OTA update), but it wouldn't hurt to do it.
Thanks for that, I will try it as soon as I get home tonight! The next thing I had decided to try was to unroot, to back to stock, then try flashing that before I start with the custom recovery and ROM. Do you think I should do that first before doing the whole thing or could that work just flashing that with my phone as-is?

Well, I always recommend a full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) when flashing ROMs. I haven't wiped my internal storage or external storage since I got the phone, so that's not really necessary.
I don't think that unrooting your current ROM is necessary. Flashing the ODIN OTA update will automatically remove root access, so that's not an issue. Here's the steps I took when I updated to NH7 and installed my current ROM (see my sig):
Make a Nandroid backup.
I always do this just so I have a "record" of what I left behind. It also allows me to have all of my app data that I can restore via Titanium Backup (you have to buy the Pro version in order to restore specific apps from a Nandroid backup). I always store a copy on my ext. storage and on dropbox.
Do a full wipe
As I mentioned above, I always wipe data, system, and the caches when flashing ROMs. While I have to take some time to get the new ROM exactly as I like it, it minimizes any potential FCs and errors that some people get when dirty flashing.
Install NH7 all-in-one via ODIN
I installed the NH7 via ODIN. Please note that this is the fully stock, unrooted ROM and will also install the stock recovery.
Let the phone boot and connect to Sprint. Update Profile and PRL.
I do this periodically whenever I go back to stock (from AOSP). I rarely have connection issues, but updating the PRL an profile can help with those.
Install a custom recovery using ODIN.
My recovery of choice is TWRP, but others have found just as much success with CWM and Philz. Just make sure that you're installing the correct version of the recovery (4.4.X version, not the 4.2.X version). I always reboot to the main system after installing a recovery, but that's up to you. In the rest of this post, I'll say "TWRP," but I really mean "custom recovery."
[OPTIONAL] Make a Nandroid backup of the stock ROM
I always do this, but I recognize that it's not necessary, especially since we can just ODIN back to this image at any time. I just like having the option of having a stock backup on the device (in case catastrophe strikes while I'm away from a computer).
Use TWRP to flash your AOSP ROM of choice.
If you haven't installed any apps or messed around with the settings, you shouldn't have to wipe before flashing, but (in case you haven't noticed by now), I tend to err on the side of caution, specifically: wiping everything (data, system, and the caches) before I flash anything.
Set up the ROM how you like it and [OPTIONAL] make one last Nandroid Backup
Whenever I set up a new ROM to the exact way I like it (statusbar settings, accounts set up, apps installed and configured, etc), I make a nandroid backup of my device. This allows me to go back to that "fresh" image whenever something happens to the device and I don't have to muddle around fixing those minor tweaks. Again, I tend to err on the side of wiping the phone too often and taking too many backups, but I've rarely had issues with my phone and ROMs because of it (to the point where I can spend most of my XDA time helping others with their phones), so it might be prudent to follow the advice.
Anyways, that's how I upgraded to NH7 and installed a custom ROM. Others may take a less conservative approach and you're welcome to adjust any of the optional steps.
Hope this helps!

OK, did all that successfully, when it went back to stock stiil had the same issue. Mobile data functions, mobile network for calls/SMS doesn't. Did the whole update prl/profile and even tried reactivating from settings, still nothing. Was able to install custom recovery (Philz) and the hltespr CM11 variant instead of the unified generic version. Still has the same problem, mobile network not available. Everything else works perfectly. I did verify in settings that it still wound up as the NH7 after everything I did. Note I did a full reset before each thing that got flashed in this process, and one more for good measure after. Let it boot to the system between steps too.
Lol I've been rooting and switching between ROMs for years and have never encountered anything like this. I'm stumped....

Dumb question but are you a Verizon customer or Sprint?

Sprint, I've had big red before but when they did away with unlimited data it wasn't worth paying their high rates.
Bump!
Anyone have any ideas on this? I am just confounded as to why this continues even after being reset to stock.
Same Issue!!!
I have the exact same issue and have been trying to resolve it for the last 2 days... Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem on a Samsung Mega. LTE and 3G data work but phone won't dial if LTE is active. It WILL voice dial if only 3G is active. Sprint. CM11.
I had this problem after flashing ROMs as well, but went into Settings>Connections>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode and selected LTE/CDMA....no network had been selected. That fixed me right up. Weird part is, I could still avcess the web without WiFi....but couldn't make calls or ise my bluetooth headset until I had performed the above steps. Hope that helps.
thanks forget the little things reset wifi and sprint cell extender
