[Q] Cant do reboot now in recovery mode,gets Error icon - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
I got a new S3 I9300 from ebay and the device status is :modified, Trying Software update gives: "your device has been modified. Software updates are not available".
No modifications made from my side and the seller informed that this is unlocked i re-checked with seller today. Look's like there is a known problem, i see many other users reporting this problem. I tried all the solutions provided in all the forums that google has presented with but none of them worked.
2nd, I'm tried to do Cache wipe it gave the message the wipe complete but when i select reboot now, phone displays error icon. See link:
h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf-JAVA/Doc/images/910/c03735020.jpg
I tried Hard reset, i get the successful message and when i do reboot now, same error icon again and it goes no where from there, i have to hold pressing the power button to restart the phone.
I see this is a china version (CHN) and as well all S planner content etc are in chinese, i'm not able to change it as i know.
Any information on what could be the problem leading to error icon and Any solution to my actual problem ?
Would really appreciate your help,i have already spent 12-15hrs trying to find a solution.

Can u check if the phone is a fake anot?

what does it say under product name in download mode(volume down+home+power)?

Thanks a lot for taking time and responding to my query.
I have sent the phone back instead of spending anymore time on it. What i see is the firmware installed is of Chinese. I'm not sure how does that affect the apps language though.
Waiting for a new one now.

'Can't check for updates right now'

I get this error everytime i try to check for the 7.8 update (I will use the force method when it eventually works) I get this message
'Can't check for updates right now. Please try again later.
An unknown error occured
80070715'
Cannot find a solution anywhere, the error code is also 80000fffff sometimes, but it varies between the two
Has me completley stumped, tried everything besides hard resetting my phone which i don't really want to do but i will try that now and see if it helps!
EDIT: A hard reset has not helped, error code 8000ffff is back!

No Solutions have workd yet: unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped

I hope this is the best place to post this. If not, I am very sorry. I have found a few posts with same message BUT all of them I found were when this happens after installing a rom or updating, etc...
I have a Virgin s2. I just have original stock rom, Ive done nothing at all to it. I changed out my batteries, turned it on, then after it got loaded I got a popup saying "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped"! I restarted then as soon as i tried to do something, i received it again. I restarted again & didnt get message til I had opened google & was waiting for search results to come up when I got message saying something about couldnt find a mobile network (or something like that), then got the "unfortunately the process....." popup. It started popping up over & over, including when I got a phone call (which made it impossible to answer, however I was able to call them back okay). I have already tried:
taking out the sdcard;
booting into recovery then wiping the cache partition;
booting into safe mode.
The popup &problem still continued. Oddly, after my husband ran "CM Security" though it found no problems, it was a little bit before it did it again and even now it doesnt popup quite as often as it had been but it still is enough to probably make the day at work very aggravating lol.
Please say theres still some hope! I'm not able to buy another phone right now. I am capable of doing anything possible to save it if you just tell me what would be best to do. I saw somewhere when I searched Google say that installing a custom recovery would probably fix it. If so, please point me to where I can find all the necessary things &instructions I need. Or if it would be better to do a factory reset, please tell me how to do it on this phone (or if I just need to go to recovery & simply do it).
ALSO I do have an identical s2 except it is Sprint & I havent came across a detailed guide for flashing the s2 from Sprint to Virgin that doesnt require the newest paid version of cdma workship, which i cannot currently afford.
Thank you for your time & assistance.
FIXED (at least so far)!
SOLVED!!! (I hope:fingers-crossed
Went ahead & just backed up contacts to sd card, then did a Reset through Recovery. So far no "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" message. :highfive:

Great to hear you fixed (or partially fixed) your problem. The problem with updating stock roms using OTA or kies is that sometimes a factory reset or clearing the cache is required to remove some left over apps or unneeded files that might potentially make your phone give errors (like the ones you were experiencing). It is highly unlikely it is a software issue, unless it was a dodgy download, moreover unfinished file deletion or unneeded files would have caused this to happen.

Issues after official OTA to N

Hello,
Friday I received the Android 7.0 OTA update for my phone. Was very hyped about it as an evening before, my brother received his on his S7.
But after it has installed, I noticed a couple of issue on my phone and I didn't seem to find a "collection" of all the issue that are being reported as of today. Of course, they are widely chaotically spread throughout the net.
So here are my issues (trying to describe them as simple and on-point as I can) and feel free to add your own issues/comments:
i. Samsung Cloud backing-up process ending up in errors: "Couldn't back up data. An error has occurred (329)" / "Couldn't sync data. An error has occurred (309)". Every time I want to back-up my phone via Samsung Cloud, very soon after I launch the process, "Samsung Keyboard" returns an error "Samsung keyboard has stopped." For the record, I'm not even using Samsung keyboard at all but Gboard so I don't know why I get that error from Samsung and not from Google, for instance. After closing the prompt, the back-up process will carry on until the end, finishing with the errors mentioned above.
ii. Private mode cannot be accessed anymore. Every time I try to enable it, I get "Failed to turn on Private Mode. Try again". I do have content saved to Private Mode and I'd like to retrieve it before factory restoring the device. Do you have any hints on this? Nothing worked that I trying recovering the files.
iii. Overall experience is a little sluggish and not as snappy as 6.0.1. Every reaction of the OS is almost half a second later than the touch action. WTF understand they rushed it to release it but I don't feel that all the best optimizations were made before release.
Do you experience any of it? Especially the slow reactions of the update, overall?
Hard reset your phone
I think it will manage it all

That's the 1st next step but I thought I'd ask around maybe someone has had the same issues and found a workaround instead of hard reset it..
Thanks
Solved the "Private Mode" issue: head to (stock) recovery -> wipe cache partition -> reboot -> all good. Now the mode and files within are accessible.
Aaand I didn't have to format the phone.
Very well done, mate! (note to myself)
Visit apkmirror and download updated samsung apps. I presume that helps.

Tablet has got into bootloop? [Help]

Hello! this is my first thread.
Normally I wouldn't take the trouble to write about a problem of this sort and just search for a similar and resolved one in forums, but this time I couldn't find any.
My tablet is a Polaroid a900x, used mostly for work and social media. It was working incredibly fine before I installed Xposed and an Xposed module along with it over a year ago. Now every time I boot it, it shows the logo and never arrives to the home screen, instead there appears constantly these error messages:
"Unfortunately, Stresstest for 5.0 has stopped.
"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped.
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even if I click "Ok" on all of them, they keep appearing.
So far I have tried to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition without success.
Could someone help me find a solution or explain to me what happened?
I already took it to a "Technic" which just told me I should better buy a new one, preferably of a "better" brand...
Thanks in advance! (and I hope this is the right forum)
