After flashing a couple of Roms I found my recovery i made of the stock Rom now says android is updating everytime i turn it on.
are using TWRP and wiped Davlec cashe but now restart and upgrading again..
started with about 43 updates and this time after davlesc reset is 80 updates..
Ive only ever seen this when installing Gapps to a new build it does it once..
This recovery never had Gapps on it and shouldnt be doing this?
Ive searched but cant find specific advice on the S3..
Anybody can help?
Thanks..

This is because your cache is being rebuilt on every reboot. Most likely from restoring a stock rom after using custom roms. This is never a good idea. If you need to return to stock you should do it by Odin. Stock roms do not back up/restore properly.
so this only happens after you wipe Dalvik? That's what's supposed to happen
No its been doing it every time i turn phone on for ages.
Just i read somewhere to wipe davlec should fix it.but then doubled the amount of updates after...
anyway i think will re flash rom from odin again should be better.
was just wondering if there was something simple i didnt do..but i guess its cause i came from non stock rom before..
Thanks for answers..
Are you sure that somewhere in twrp settings or anywhere else that you haven't set the device to wipe dalvik on each boot?
Did you delete some odex files from your system/app

This has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is that the delvic cache is being deleted on reboot. A full wipe and reflash should fix him/her right up.

I've already asked in the relevant ROM thread but thought I'd try here in case anyone else has had a similar issue.
I'm currently running Westcrip ICS 9.4 and tried to update to latest version but phone freezes a few seconds after booting (have to restart/battery pull)
I've tried wiping data/cache/dalvik/fix permissions but get exactly the same problem.
I've tried flashing stock GB through odin which works ok and then flashing again but get exactly the same problem.
I've tried flashing bezkes aokp but get exactly the same problem.
Thankfully my 9.4 backup restores OK and runs without any freezes.
The only thing I think it might be is something dodgy/corrupt on my internal memory or SD card. Is it safe to wipe these? I dont want to move my backup as I've had MD5 problems when trying to restore in the past.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I've looked around on the forum/google but can't find anyone else reporting the same problem.
This is driving me mad!! Am I missing something?
No ideas?
Ill try again after clearing internal storage. Can someone recommend the best way to do this please?
I should have said that i get the freeze problems with no non rom apps installed...

Well you are using buggy beta ICS base .
As you can flash and use a stock rom then the problem is the rom you are flashing .
Possible corrupt download .

Thanks for the reply. I tried downloading again but still have the same problem with resurrection and bezke so will try loading a stock ics base through odin when i get home tonight. Do you think my 9.4 resurrection base could be the problem? I read that on earlier ics roms that you should flash stock ics first?

I've been using Bezke's AOKP for 5 days now, without any problem, so the problem is definitely not in his ROM.
When you flash it, try the following:
after wiping data, cache and dalvik, go to mounts and storage and hit format system. It could do the trick maybe...

Arghh!!! Tried this and thought it had solved the problem. I've managed to install the new paradoxx rom now and even reinstall my apps and set up email account, but phone eventually freezes again. I've even started getting random freezes in CWM now! What I cant understand is why my phone is still rock solid running my westcrip 9.4 backup??
I think I might have flashed my phone to an early grave!!
That is really strange. Sorry that formatting system didn't help
Hello,
First and foremost, I'm loving this rom. I'm a noob and getting my hands dirty figuring all this out.
Now with that said:
When I try to connect to my wifi network it keeps saying authentication error occurred. I have tried everything and the only thing that fixes it is restoring my backup to my stock rom.
Please help!!!!

I will say 90% of the people in here will say it is not the rom. just because theres seems to work. and i tend to agree. what have you tried to fix it? besides going back (to Stock). i have not had any issues with WiFi on Serephim yet, so i can not say what a fix would be. maybe wipe your cache's. when i had that issue on GB i had to reinstall the kernel and boom it worked. but seeing as though we do not have one yet for ICS. i would say wipe and worst case reinstall the from after a very Thurough Wiping Process.

Then if your into flashing right now, just try either the superwipe.
Or this is how i wipe.
I factory default/format usb from inside the rom.
I wipe factory/data from cwm
i wipe cache partition from cwm
i wipe delvik from cwm
then i flash "Rom" and reboot.
this leaves nothing from previous roms and or Gingerbreak roms.
try that and see if it works. if not then i am out of ideas until a kernel source is released.
Ok i will try that and see if it works...
Thank you!!!

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.

So this is weird... In four days, the ROM or phone has froze on me about half a dozen times now. The first time when I was setting it up by as I had just done a flash of the ROM. While setting it up, the phone decided to suddenly slow down all of a sudden to a crawl, up to the point where everything started to get washed out and freeze on me. Force restart by holding Volume Up + Power was the only solution to fix it. Just now, my sister had it connected to her computer and was transferring music over into the internal SD when suddenly, the same thing happened. Again, only solution was to force restart. Anyone have this happen to them before? Everything is completely stock except that we're on Dorimanx 5.3 kernel. Then the other times, it would either slow down and freeze in the CWM Recovery Menu, or when she is texting, playing games, etc. There aren't that many apps installed at all. Reflash of kernel doesn't solve the problem.

Could it be that I need to flash the phone with official ICS + bootloader + PIT? I jumped straight from stock Gingerbread to custom ICS.

try doing a wipe data/factory reset as that is normally a fix to these kind of problems. Also clear cache and dalvik and that should fix the problem!

Do not use the .pit file unless you understand 100%sure about what you are doing. That's probably the easiest way to bork your device.
Edit: try flashing a different kernel. Try dark knight or fluxi. I think it would solve your issues

I would get an official rom, and flash it with odin, (no repartition is required) then install your fav. custom rom

I can't wipe data/factory reset in CWM for some reason when I first tried to install the custom ROM. Never tried again... I wonder if it's because my I9100 is brickable.
I have cleared cache and dalvik cache but no luck. It even slowed down and froze in CWM Recovery.

I know what I'm doing. Flashed with PIT many times before on my Captivate. Haven't tried PIT on her I9100 though. I haven't broken my phone with PIT yet, even though there's quite a few PITs out there lol.
I've read of others running the same combo as me, but they're fine so I wonder what else could cause this...

Running the latest Dorimanx 5.5 kernel and still getting the same problem. In fact, I noticed that if you set it to Performance under Kernel Tweaks in Recovery, the problem is more apparent. Setting it to default causes the issue too.
Im have a lot of problems getting my P7510 Galaxy Tab working on new firmware.
Ive tried several different firmwares and none of them have worked properly. Currently I am working with Stock Firmware from January 2012 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452060). After using Odin, it installs better than any of the other firmwares ive tried, and after every fresh installation Android will sometimes open up normally after which it then crashes! On subsequent attempts to run it I always end up with the Samsung Logo screen.
Ive always done a Factory Reset before & after installation, also Wiped Cache occasionally. I have also installed CWM and cleaned the Dalvik Cache on several occasions.
Maybe I should try a different Stock Firmware. Ive done some searches (ie, sammobile) but cant find any. Can someone give me a link where I can get a different Stock Firmware. Or maybe this isnt the problem. Can somebody tell me where I go from here.

The problem is likely not to be the firmware or ROM you are installing but the procedure you are following. You only do Factory Reset before a fresh installation. However, you do not need to do a Factory Reset after installation as that amounts to wiping off the installation you had just done. In order words, your device is blank and has NO SYSTEM TO RUN IT! Try installing a custom ROM again without the factory reset. The other wipes you do i.e. cache and dalvic are in order, before and after installation.
For a very clean installation also format system under Mounts and Storage in CWM. Ensure you have the latest version of CWM 6.0.3.3 before you start, especially if you intend to run Jelly Bean 4.2.2 based ROM such as CM 10.1 etc.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers.

Actually, factory reset wipes data and cache. It doesn't wipe system so after a ROM installation its OK to factory reset.

Thanks for your advice folks. This is where ive got to now:-
After cleaning Dalvik Cache, a Factory Reset and formatting system under Mounts and Storage I installed the stock firmware and the device booted as it should. I was able to connect to wi-fi and Play Store and do some updating etc., But once I Powered Off the device it wouldnt boot up properly again, it just hung on the darn Samsung Logo. So I installed CWM and on reboot, lo-and-behold, the device started working normally (without me having run CWM at all). Then I subsequently Powered Off and started again but once more got stuck on that Samsung Logo. So then I wiped Dalvik Cache to see if it would boot properly, and it didnt. And then I did a Factory Reset to see if it would boot properly and it didnt.
Where do I go from here?

I think you might have the wrong bootloader.
That said, your firmware seems to be Korean. You can visit samsmobile and download a more updated/recent firmware version of ICS preferably US or UK and that will give you the correct bootloader for most custom ROMs you may wish to install.
Sorry for all your troubles.

Pershoot has the correct bootloader in www.droidbasement.com. Yes, bootloader should be flashed through bootloader. Please ensure you download the right one for your device variant. Flashing official stock ICS will also give you the right bootloader.

Ive had a look at www.droidbasement.com but I am not sure which is Pershoot 'correct' bootloader. I find it quite a difficult site to navigate. If you can direct me to the specific download for the P7510 that would be great.
In the meantime I did [yet another] reinstall and in this instance Android opened as it should. The first thing I did was to connect to Kies and installed the recommended Kies Update. So I know now for sure I am running a kosher version for my P7510 device. However after powering down it wouldnt boot up again, it once more got stuck on the Samsung logo (even after doing Factory reset and clearing Dalvik Cache etc.,). It begs the question, do you still think its the Bootloader thats the problem?

I should imagine so, after all there a boot up problem. However since the problem is now perpetual, you may have to speak with Samsung guys.
