[Q] phone stuck on booting screen after updating apps.[SOLVED] - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I just updated some apps from google play, I think it was google search, text to speech and some apps and a game that I have on my phone. I later get a phone call from a friend and when I hang up I get this message that gapps have been crashed. I pressed okay and thought nothing more than that. But then I get this warning signs about more and more things are crashing. I decide to turn my phone off and now it is stuck on the kernel screen (DorimanX Kernel)
I use ReVolt v4.3 and I have done nothing else with the phone except updating some apps. I can boot to recovery so I tried to clean the dalvik cache and the regular cache but it still wont start.
EDIT: I solved it by also using the fix permission that is an option in CWM. It is working alright for now. I guess it was some issues with the new apps permission that made the phone stuck on boot screen!

[Q] Device goes into Kernel Panic faster than I can make any change

I've had Cyanogenmod 9 nightlies on my SGS2 since April. I didn't install every single one, but pretty much only those with good ratings, specifically those that had no complains about battery drain and heating...
Currently on the 06-28-2012 nightly. This ran fine at first, but over time, it started to occasionally crash into Kernel Panic. I figured I'd just pick a new nightly, but then I ended up having to travel and installation of a new nightly got delayed.
Now I'm home, and I can't use the phone at all, cause it crashes into Kernel Panic almost as soon as I unlock the screen after Android finishes booting. The last thing I see up in the message bar is "WhatsApp error" and the screen goes dark. It won't stay on long enough for me to uninstall WhatsApp or select factory reset from the system menu.
I don't think its a problem with WhatsApp, cause WhatsApp used to run fine, while Kernel Panics originally mainly seemed to happen after I got a "storage full" message. In response, I deleted a load of pictures after rebooting, to make sure there's free space, but it kept crashing occasionally, till now, its just unusable.
I've tried to flash a stock Samsung ROM (I9100XWLPG_I9100XXLPX_I9100NEELP4_HOME.tar.md5) but that hasn't been working either.
Kies drivers are installed on my Laptop. Odin sees the phone too.
I followed the instructions from the rom page, changed no settings in Odin, just picked PDA and selected the ROM.
Odin goes "Added" when I plug in the phone, verifies the ROM, then the whole thing hangs on "setting up connection"
So I unplug, pull the battery and then reboot, which works fine, but once booted, it won't stay on longer than a few seconds.
Anyway, does anyone have any clever ideas how I can get out of this Kernel Panic loop?

What's preventing you from factory resetting from recovery?
Lack of knowledge is preventing me!
How do you factory reset from the "Kernel Panic Download Mode"...?
Download Android Commander from here:
http://androidcommander.com/
Boot your phone, don't unlock.
Start Android Commander, navigate to /data/apps and delete WhatsApp's apk (com.whatsapp1.apk or something like that) or rename it to .apk.bak
Restart your phone without unlocking.
Hope the errors gone.

[Q]Stock rom stuck on booting: Android is upgrading...;Starting Applications

Hi everybody thanks for your help in advance,
My SGs2 is currently running siyah kernel v6.0.0.12 (the fancy one with touch recovery and dual boot).
The problems started when i recently switched from SuperSu to the open-source alternative Superuser. I'm using an app called live logcat (by Chainfire). It shows the logcat entries live as a boot animation. It was all hassle free when I used SuperSu with it. After switching to Superuser it kept getting root permission over and over for at least a minute (a previously common problem). So I was looking forward to getting it fixed since other users reported the same problem. So whenever a new version came out, I tried if it was finally fixed.
After updating to the latest version yesterday and starting the app once again, the phone crashed with the screen turning black (status bar still visible). It then rebooted and a message stating
Android is upgrading..
Starting applications
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
appeared. Whenever I reboot my phone this message appears and won't go away. I can access recovery but clearing cache and/or dalvik cache makes the window say: Optimizing application <x> out of <y>. When it is through with optimizing, 'starting applications' reappears.
I honestly have no idea what else to do.
So my question is how can I get that darn thing to boot correctly?
I'm looking for a solution which doesn't involve factory reset.
If anybody can help he/she is much appreciated.

Stuck on the Xperia wallpaper or Updating apps message after a sudden restart...

Hello!
I am guessing I will have to reinstall but just in case, while trying to play South Park on Firefox yesterday the phone just went into a reboot which was odd.
Then it got stuck on the xperia wall paper trying to restart to I forced it to shutdown and tried wiping dalvik and cache partition even on my 3rd try and even reflashing the Doom kernel and still either gets stuck on the wallpaper or it will show the updating process then after the count down ends, it says updating apps and never changes from there.
I can feel the phone vibrating like it does right before it shows the home screen but it never happens.
So, unless someone knows of a miracle cure, it seems I will be reinstalling tonight.
Right now I am using my Wife's Note 2 with pink case...cool! :laugh:

boot into recovery
do nandroid back up
wipe /data and caches
reboot
If that was successful restore apps and data using one of the backup managers and reboot before each new app until you find the one that is the problem?

dozens of apps suddenly having a crashing party

I've got a number of Moto G that have been working fine for months. Suddenly, one of them is constantly having apps crash. I'm talking literally every second. As fast as I can close the crash notification popup another one pops up for another app. android.process.acore, com, com.google.process.gapps, dozens of others. A reboot will fix it for a few minutes, but then it goes on a frenzy again. I've tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache with clockworkmod recovery. I've tried uninstalling updates for google play services. I unfortunately don't have a backup created for this device. I would try to factory reset, but the last time I tried factory resetting a rooted Moto G through the android interface it bootlooped. If I can't fix this, is there a way in clockworkmod recovery to "reset" back to just after I rooted the phone? If not, I may be able to copy over a backup from a similar phone, but I'm not sure if that would work.
EDIT: I think this phone might have just **** the bed. Bootloops when trying to turn on normally (unlocked bootloader warning screen, then motorola spinning world graphic, then off). Volume Down + Power in off state does nothing so I can't even get into the bootloader.

Phone stuck in a bootloop after updating apps

Hey there,
So my One X+ has been on the CM 12 for about 1 year now, but 5 days ago I was updating the apps from the google store as usual and then my phone rebooted.
It started Preparing apps, then the phone turned on. I got the message "Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped”, I get an empty desktop and after 15 seconds or so the phone reboots and start the process all over (preparing apps).
Any idea what I can do to fix the issue without resetting the phone?
I found this thread here but the problem is i dont have enough time in the phone to get to safe mode.
Sorry I am not the most skilled when it comes to dealing with the android platform
Thanks for the help in advanced
Edit: Ok so I Wiped the Cache and Dalvik Cache on TWRP and managed to boot, but the desktop and all the icons are gone, the phone is extremely slow, and as i try to get to the apps section the settings to force stop trebuchet, i get Settings has crashed msg and am sent back to the desktop and after a while the phone rebooted again.
Any ideas?
You can try to install a new launcher via the PC Google store.
Otherwise, try to go to recovery and factory reset.
Or try to flash another ROM. (Viper+)
When in recovery, you can connect your phone to the pc and transfer your files, if you want.
