I'm on a Galaxy S3 Virgin Mobile, I was trying to root my phone and mistakenly used a sprint ROM. This has left my phone constantly popping up the error "unfortunately android.process.acore has stopped", I am unable to get to the play store to download any recovery tools though I do have root. What I'm looking for is a ROM (Odin or ADB flashable would be best) for my phone so that I might get basic functionality back, root the least of my concerns now.
Thanks in advanced!

Good afternoon all,
I have recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 via kies to Android 4.3. I couldn't do the update over the air as it was rooted. I had to go through and root my phone again through Odin and again all that went fine.
However since doing this I have had to restore my device 2 times as it shuts down every now and then and I find I 'lose' some apps...mainly games, which I find annoying. It also wipes any saved text messages.
At first I thought it was only losing apps that I'd downloaded through other means (i.e. not Play) but it appears not. I still have the apk files stored on the phone and have tried to re-install them but I get a message of 'app not installed'
Can anyone tell me why this is the case? As I have previously said it has only been since updating to Android 4.3. Not sure if it is due to rooting my phone (i'm guessing not).
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Chris

Please use the red report button and ask a mod to move the post.
See multiple posts re OTA and root problems.
Suggest factory reset if that does not fix then flash stock 4.3 through Odin .
I know that I can't do OTA updates... My problem is that the phone will restart, without warning and when it reboots I have lost all my text messages and a few apps. Trying to reinstall the apk files gives me the error 'app not installed'
I have tried factory reset both through the recovery mode and the system settings, but nothing resolves it.
My phone is rooted and runs Android 4.3 which was updated through kies.
The apps it loses are games so that's not a major issue... It's all the text messages.
I have a very similar problem, phone always shuts down and restarts on it's own. A couple of times it has lost some apps but usually it just starts up again fine but it's very annoying. Sometimes it gets stuck in a boot loop too.
A Google search for random reboot or random shut down brings up a lot of results but no solution's, so it seems to be a common problem. It's not just the stock rom either as it still does it when rooted and running other roms.
I am having problems with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (L710, Sprint). I updated it to Android 4.4.2, which disabled the ability for the phone to write to the card. This meant that several apps, including Spotify, Swiftkey, and the camera, were all unusable, as they all defaulted to SD storage.
To fix this issue, multiple forums and sites recommended downloading an app called SDFix. The rooting process took several hours and required a system reset afterwards, but it is rooted now. Apps such as Root Checker said that the phone was rooted properly, but the SDFix did not work.
The next step I took was to try to flash an older 4.3 ROM to the phone, as it would still have SD capability. I wiped the cache as well as the Dalvik, but the installation of several roms, both stock and CM, have failed with the error:
Assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader"? == "l710vpbLj7"...
repeated for about six other file names, which I think are different bootloaders.
Now when I turn the phone on, it looks like it has been reset, but I get the notification "unfortunately, com.google.process.gapps has stopped", which appears again immediately after closing the first one. It is an endless loop and I cannot do anything in the phone. Is there any way you are able to help me?
Thank you.
About a month ago my prime seems to have given up the ghost. Lots of ANR and processes stopping for no known reason. At the time I was rooted but still locked, been rooted for a few years. I did a factory reset and now I can't re-setup my google account because as soon as the boot finishes I get unfortunately com.google.process.gapps has stopped message. After the factory reset I rooted this time using DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3 and side loaded a root checker, busybox and SuperSU which all recognizes the root. When I try to boot into recovery (stock Android 4.1.1; Build number 10.4.2.18-20121122) I get the fallen down Android with the red triangle of death.
After all this I've decided to unlock and go the custom recovery/custom ROM route. I went to Asus and downloaded the unlock tool. Side loaded it and it installed fine. When I go to run the unlock the app gives the Unfortunatly Unlock Device Tool has stopped message.
I'm not without a tablet. I have a TF700 so I just want to explore so ROM's for the Asus Transformer line. Any suggestions to get my Prime unlocked and setup for customization would be great.
Thanks
Wow, this place is dead.
Hi guys, i recently bought this phone as my iPhone is malfunctioning. I was pretty contented with the phone overall. However, one aspect of it really ticks me off which is the RAM. Apparently, there's a constant 100mb-0mb Ram available for usage. So i ended up going online and search on how to speed up the RAM. I found a link that says by having a Custom ROM downloaded, it would remove all the bloatware and such. After progressing with the patches and installations, i was quite happy with it! Until the part where i couldn't access the Google Maps,Google Play store and every single time an error will pop out saying 'Google play services has stopped working'. I had work today and i would definitely need to use my phone to get me around (Delivery rider) therefore, i decided to call my supervisor and told him i had some issues with my phone. Earlier this morning, i've tried rooting using Kingo Root/Root Genius but to no avail. Both stucked in the process of it. I've tried flashing some other Core Prime's model ROM hoping that it would work. But guess what, it didn't . Now i have my Core Prime stucked at Odin Mode saying 'could not do normal boot'.
Any fellow experts willing to help me on this?
P.S I got to know that my phone was from an import after trying the factory reset. It's from China Unicom.

Everytime i tried to software update, it say 'The phone has been modified bla bla bla'

Do you have Cricket carrier by chance? I'm trying to find a stock or mod ROM for my sm-g360az ( Cricket Galaxy core prime) and the closest thing in official updates I could find is the sm-g3606 CHU region.. So I know my phone was made in China but I'm curious if that stock would work.
Hei Guys, Good Evening,
Just had a quick question. I recently got a brand new fake "Samsung S8+", it runs on an Mt6580 processor, and android 6.0.1, kernel vs. 3.10.0. I rooted it as soon as it came, with King root no problem. However, once I had root access I went ahead, and deleted the stock browser which I assumed would just trace all my logins and stuff online. This created a myriad of problems: I now get the "Unfortunately X has stopped working" notification for every single app I try to open that needs Internet access. Rendering the Phone close to useless. If anyone has the same phone, could you please upload the apk of the stock browser for me, so I can get my Phone back? Or supply an alternate solution.
Things I've Tried:
1. Turning it on and Off (didn't work)
2. System Restore/Wiping Cash (didn't work)
3. Putting in custom boot loader and installing custom rom (No custom boot loaders work, and 'easy magic twrp' does not recognize my phone as mediatek device)
4. Installing Custom rom using ADB (doesn't work, cant pinpoint the reason)
I have searched the entire Internet, and also tried to make other browsers my stock browsers, nothing works.
Really appreciate your Help,
Jan
