Hello,
during the last weeks I have massive problems with my S3 it freezes all the time, also when I just restart it freezes at pin stage or lock screen. Its horrible especialy when you use it as Navigation system and you are not noticing that it crashed but it still shows the screen from the moment it crashed.....
So I want to completely start fresh, but I have installed Avast also on root to protect my phone. So do I have to deinstall it first or which is the best way to completely reset?
Thanks in adavance!
Best SKYY
Boot into recovery and do a wipe/factory reset. You're rooted, so you probably have a custom recovery, you can do that easily. Else, you can also reset from the settings. I'm not sure if Avast prevents it, I don't think so.

If it is not working you can flash superwipe (factory reset) or mega wipe (wipes anything, no files on phone or internal whatsoever). Both done via recovery. You can find them here in the forum.

You can also flash stock rom via odin and start completely from the beginning
R: Complete Wipe to Stock while Avast is installed?
You dknt need the antivirus if you flash from scratch. once you flash your phone will be virgin, therefore not capable of being instantly infected (unless u do some stupid things or have some sort of infected kernel or stuff) so u can just go and install avast from play store again.
Thou i do not believe an antivirus is needed on these phones yet...

hi frined i had installed some lock scrrens using recovery and from the time after instaling it is showing the message that tthe process%1$has hasviolatedits self enforce strict mode
and now all the apps are not running properly now plz help me coming out from this problm
I'm not sure quite what happened there but it sounds like you may have to reflash your phone. Unless you backed up first with CWM?

i already tried the re flashing
What did you reflash? What you might have to do is completely reflash the entire phone by using either SEUS or Flashtool.
SEUS will take your phone back to standard stock. Stock rom, stock kernel, stock everything. It does mean you'll have to reinstall your apps, contacts, recovery and so on but it does reset your phone and should fix whatever problem you have.
If it doesn't, then something has gone seriously wrong.
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.

Since i have rooted and installed the Siyah Kernal, i am experiencing random crashes where apps stop working and the screen goes black for a minute and everything reloads again like as the phone has been restarted. i used a fresh made recovery and everything was ok but i had to reload everything from scratch. it has happened again but this time i can not even get past my pattern lock screen before it crashes and freezes. therefore i cant titanium backup my apps.
i have tried
- Boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- reboot phone
I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.
just in case it matters am using go launcher and just before the phone went funny i was browsing and using apps fine. however today i did use extweaker app and ticked the option to force usb storage, if this makes any difference
thanks.
i was wondering has anyone else had this problem and is there any ideas on why this may be happening.
it may because the phone is trying to do something that is causing a conflict. I believe the only way you are going to resolve the issue is to do a factory reset, to unfo the issue with the force usb storage.

Thanks. For the reply. I was wondering what would be the best way to factory reset with out loosing root but giving me a fresh 4.0.4 with root also should i flash the latest siyeh kernel or stick with what i have. i am running ok at the moment after flashing a recover. but am paranoid it just going to get stuck and freeze on the lockscreen again. this could be a big problem if i need to make a important call or somthing. sorry for spelling mistakes written on my phone
editm i used galaxy s unlock from market. i dont want to loose this either
also most times i install a new app the whole screen just sticks and i have to reboot then it becomes fine again. any help would be appreciated.

Might be worth deleting the .siyah folder and then booting into recovery, flash a kernel cleaning script then siyah or whichever kernel again.

Thats really odd... are you sure you are doing a full wipe when you install those ROMs? Flashing a fresh ROM should just about clear anything left on the phone I dont understand how a fresh ROM could be laggy.
Possibly hardware issues?
Yes im sure i do male a full wipe, even system, really wear,
Sent from my LG-P999
Are you also wiping data. So when your phone boots .... You are having to re enter your information? Also what rom are you currently flashing?

Wipe cache, dalvik, system and data. Flash ROM then wipe both caches.

Do you have, or can you install an app like "system tuner" that can tell you how your phone is performing? Like are both cpu's running and so forth?

I had this issue once, drove me nuts until I realized the problem was the modem.
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?

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.
