Hi guys! I don't know what is happened, but my phone doesn't turn on anymore... When I press the on button, the galaxy s II boot image appears, and then the boot kernel's image (i've dorimanx kernel). After 5 second, the image disappears, and remain a black screen... if i press the back and home button, they light for a bit. I tried to wait 10 minutes, but nothing. What could it be? I won't format my phone there are a lot of data... :crying:

I had this problem a few times after uninstalling Android tweaker Pro. The bad news is that I had to go into recovery, which was kinda hard, and reinstall my rom. The good news is that you could try doing that without wiping anything, as long as it's the same rom that you already had installed.

so can i reinstall the same rom from cwm and i will not lose my data?
You can install the same rom without losing data, that's just common sense, but you may have to clear cache if you get a bootloop.

Do you have any idea about why, or does it just never opens? Maybe it has something to do with your ROM (a bug?) You can choose to wait until whatever dev made your ROM updates, if you can open phone.apk you can see your contacts from there so it shouldn't be a problem, you can also try to re-install your rom and clear caches this time.
why don't you just make a back up of your contacts on google..... and then sync again when you install another ROM....... you won't loose any of your contact that way even in future........

You can backup your data (like sms, contacts, logs etc) and restore after reset

So I have a fairly new Blue 9300 and it was working fine and then started not responding to my finger on the lock screen. Then I would try to use the power button to cycle the screen on and off and it wont work. Sometimes I can hold the power button and get the power off menu to appear and then sometimes it will respond and let me reset.
First Question: Anyone else have this?
Second: I think it may be due to flashing so is there a superwipe I can try?
Ok, what did you do prior to this, which Rom etc

Not too much. Rooted it busybox super user. That's it. I did do a full backup from my white 9300 and restored to the blue 9300 but have since reflashed stock everything from Odin and still have bug. I restored through MyBackup Pro after the Odin reflash. I was hoping for some kind of super wipe to try and one last restore and then this bad boy is going back to Sammy I think :crying:
Edit
Mybackup restore was just call logs and sms mms no apps.
try a complete fresh Odin flash with no restore of anything and see how that goes, then if you are going to do a restore do a bit at a time if all is good, and see if that gives you any indication of where the problem may lie

Ok so I'm guessing no super wipe yet for sgs3. Never got the point of them but now I wouldn't mind. Should I do a factory reset and then odin restore? I think part of the issue was that I didn't do a reset before the Odin flash before. All My info was still there after Odin except my root haha
there is a super wipe app over in general, just be aware that this wipes sd card as far as I know

Alright did wipe now I am doing restore through Odin. Hope it works if not Triangle Away will be the best $3 I ever spent
Ok I'm back to using the it (it's my loved pebble blue that I hunted down ) and it seems fine only issue I am now getting is a not responding on the Messaging app. This is kinda weird as this is one of the things I did restore. It happened right after the restore. When I go into the messaging app it does the same thing and force closes.
Hey all
For some reason today my phone has just started randomly locking up. Was running a nightly build of Cyanogen mod from Mid January. Never had any issues with it today.
Ive basically done a complete wipe of the system (/system, data, cache, dalvik, SD card, etc) and installed a newer nightly of Cyanogen mod, but it is still happening. Thinking it may be a hardware problem...
Any ideas as to how i can check whats going wrong?
Symptoms:
- Screen completely freezes on what it was doing. Screen state stays the same too (doesnt dim after a while)
- Haptic touch buttons sometimes work and sometimes dont (if they do work, all they do is vibrate, nothing changes on the screen)
- Tried a few button combinations to try and get it to respond again. Only way to get it goign again is to reboot the system completely (holding Power + Home)
Thanks

last option :- backup internal storage. do a megawipe. install any samsung based rom again.
if that also does not work. bring phone back to full stock i.e there should be no proof that u used custom roms and then try to get samsung to exchange it. sorry.

hope your s3 is the international version I9300.
If not then u r in the wrong section and installing non compatible roms and mods, that could be the cause of all this.
Everytime I install a new ROM, this happens so much as to where I can barely use my phone.
Is there a way to fix this on the OG?

Try clearing data in contacts and contacts storage then reboot.

Factory reset when you install the new rom, also wipe /system when you install a rom.

When i recieve a call, my phone vibrates once then it gives me the error and i lose service for 10 seconds then comes back on. PLEASE HELP ME..... ANYTHING IS APRECIATED
If I were you, I would just backup everything and clean flash. That always fixes that problem. Also, they do have an 11/13 nightly up, try that out too.
First try going to System>Apps>Contacts Storage and clear the data and cache, see if that helps.

Nooooo. That doesn't mean its bricked. It just means one of the APK's got broke, and you just need to reflash with a clean wipe.

Be very careful then. Because clean flashing wipes EVERYTHING. So make sure you back up everything with titanium backup. Then go into your recovery and to wipe/Format data and reinstall

I know how to flash and all that other stuff, but I didn't know what a clean flash was
*****EDIT**** I just backed up my phone in recovery and I wiped it and restored, this error is still hapening
do a adb backup of your contacts and accounts then completely wipe device and reinstall rom
adb backup -apk -shared -all -f C:\nameofbackup.ab <<< this makes backup
adb restore C:\backup\nameofbackup.ab <<<< this restores backup that you made
So, I've factory reseted my Acer Liquid E2 a couple of times because space issues and suddenly it started lagging. I've noticed this in games like Real Racing3 (which never had lag before) and even while scrolling trough Facebook or Instagram. So, I've tried resetting it again and the lag is still there. I have the stock 4.2.2 rom.

You need to clear the cache after factory resetting.
It still contains cache from the older firmware (the original before you factory resetting it).

Afraid not, but maybe there are some apps that will do it for you..
Can you send me a picture of the recovery screen. I can tell you which one you need to select.
