[Q] Freeze while installing custom ROM - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I am installing a custom ROM (Omega V43.3) through Mobile Odin Pro and during installation when it's copying selected files it froze on PolarisViewer for some reason! Now I have no idea what to do, it has been frozen for 15min!
The omega installar has already: wiped preload, dalvik cache, cache, formated system, copied system files,and is now on copying selected files.
Any ideas?
Update: Rebooted and landed in Android system recovery <3e>

you mean you dont have CWM recovery?

Yes I was under the impression that you could just use Mobile Odin to flash your ROM's..
Do you also need to have CWM recovery?
BTW, I'm flashing stock firmware now..

Problem fixed. just had to choose 'Full Wipe' in the installation process of Omega..

Did factory reset, wiped cache and installed the ROM again... Lets see if this works out... What about the application related folders that are in my sd card already?

How To full wipe all scripts/mods

Fellow Users,
I wiped:
- Factory/Wipe data
- Dalvik
- Cache
- Every storage
did a fixed permission
- Switched different roms Stock and Custom
- Switched different kernels stock and custom
- Flashed with Odin and with CWM Recovery.
How can i get rid of the nasty scripts or mods that are stuck ??
Is there a way to clean everything harder and deeper than what i did ?
How about init file or something?? i dont have ADB
I think this is how. follow these.
1. Factory reset / Wipe data
2. Wipe Cache partition
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Go to mount & storage
5. Fix Permissions
6. format /cache
7. format /system
8. format /data
9. format /preload
10. format /sdcard
Try these. But make sure you have a rom to flash on external sdcard. because formatting these will remove system and you will not start phone without flashing a rom.

To fully format the phone you could also use megawipe. It is a flashable zip for cwm which will remove anything, also your sd card. Hence better have a flashable rom on your external sd. You can find it in the dev section or search for mega wipe.

Thanks for help,
I try the method rl421403 says but it didnt help, i also flashed the mega wipe zip file and did the wipe but that also didn't work.
Maybe it is hardware related? is there a way to test this?

Maybe let us now what you want to delete exactly.
Usually the mega wipe well erase any file and leave a blank slate.

[Q] Switching ROM and wiping

Hey guys,
I have had some issues with my current ROM. I want to change the ROM. I am looking to switch to OMEGA.
How would I do this, I currently have AROMA rom. Should I do a factory reset the just reboot into recovery mode and install that way? Or will just installing the ROM from zip work? Or if I do a factory reset do I need to root it again with Odin, or will I not need to root it?
Also for wiping the phone should I wipe my SD card? Or no?
Thank you I searched and found half answers for most of this.
You have to format /system partition and /data partition in order to get a clean ROM, otherwise you may run into some unforeseeable problems.
Don't have to wipe sdcard
Most ROM except stock are pre-rooted.

Ok just to double check what your saying.
I should do a wipe using the built in android factory reset.
Then just install the ROM using the recovery boot.
I will not have to use ODIN or any other soft ware. Just factory reset and install rom.
AW: [Q] Switching ROM and wiping
I'd factory reset in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, format system and then flash the new ROM from your external sdcard
Please report if that way worked for you
But be sure to backup your apps with titanium backup

He's talking about wiping in recovery.
Dalvik, is kinda Java virtual machine on android, it does concerns you...
About ROM, I suggest you try them out all, and then you will find your Mr.Right, or Ms.Right

Nobody can tell you which rom is better .. All roms are amazing because of the work put into them try them out one by one.. you're not going to lose anything..
Ok cool. I installed OMEGA and I like that rom. I did a factory reset and wiped the Dalvik cache and cache. Will look around a bit more but so far so good....
however same issue with the phone. But now when the call ends it says process com.android.phone has stopped. Then i hit ok and phone is ok. It doesn't automatically restart then go really slow.
No idea about this, I searched however couldn't find a answer. Lots of phones and versions of android had this issue.
Any ideas would be great guys.

You need to go into mounts and storage in recovery and format system and data before you flash, as already explained

Is that different from what I did?
I booted into recovery. Did a factory reset. Wiped Cache and the Dalvik Cache. Then I installed the rom, did I do this wrong?

Factory reset wipe data, but not system, you need to format system and data

I just booted into recover did system format and data. However I still have the same issue. After phone call freezes for a second, vibrates then says com.android.phone has stopped working.
Follow exactly what I ve typed in the previous post... exactly that.. and which version of omega have you Downloaded
??

why not you backup your current rom first then try to flash a new rom without wipe data. if you not facing any issue on the new rom, then it's ok.
if you facing any issue, you must flash again the new rom with wipe all data. if you not happy with both, then you restore back what you are backup before.:fingers-crossed:

Yes I did. I factory reset. wiped cache and dalvik as well as formatting in the advanced options. I currently have Omega 44.2 installed. But I had the iphone app crashing with AROMA 30.1 and 30.4
Is there away to uninstall the phone app and then re install that cleanly?
I did this and still have the phone crashing issue.
Settings/apps/all/phone/wipe app data, likewise do same with contacts, reboot, see if that solves it

There is no white data. only buttons available are force stop and clear data. If I press clear data it says all data will be deleted permanently including all files, settings accounts, databases. I assumed the files were the actual app.
I went to settings. Applciation manager and chose Phone.
......hit clear data then, do that for phone and contacts storage, the data bases get rebuilt the only thing you will have to set up again is which contacts to display and any ringtone options etc you may have chosen

So I've decided to switch from JB to CM, but after using cyanogen installer I noticed that few things (apps, folders from JB) are still there. I tried factory reset but it didn't change anything, so I've found perfect command format /system. All I can do now is access CWM - I put JB.tar.md5 on microSD but no files are being found. Same happened after applying this PhilZ-cwm6-XWMS1-NEE-5.15.9-signed.
I'm out of ideas. Any help?
edit: Ok using CWM I wiped everything (factory reset, cache, format system, dalvik cache) and installed CM10.1/Gapps - system is back!
But the thing is I still have android stuff and my old files. So the question is how to do clean install?

md5 files are for odin (flash from pc), zip for cwm (from phone recovery)

Problems with Cyanogenmod 12.1 - Samsung Galaxy SII I9100

Hello! Attempting to have a best version of Android in my phone, I've installed Cyanogenmod 12.1, and didn't have problems. I installed an app called link2sd, give it root acess and tried to uninstall some native apps of the rom that I thought I'd not use. But, after changing my sd card and uninstalling the app hangouts using link2sd, my keybord stopped, and when I searched for it in the list of apps, I realized it was uninstalled. So, I tried to restart the phone, and when I did it, so many native applications like the file manager was unistalled too. Tried to restart the phone by the recovery mode and after reinstaling the rom, I received many alerts like "Unfortunaly, Trebuchet has stopped", by many apps and google apps stopping and can't use play store, and many other aplicattions. I tried to format the USB Storage, the sd card, wipe cache and data, restore the cellphone... And nothing works. Can someone help me?
Hi,
While in recovery, did you select factory reset, then did you also wipe your /system partition? What gapps are you using?

After flashing ROM for the first time, did you try flashing over again (Don't boot into ROM, just reboot to recovery)? Sometimes a second flash will solve issues like this (gapps files missing, etc).
