Hi, I'd really appreciate some help. After rooting my phone I noticed it would take like three minutes to turn on and I've been having that problem for a while now, but recently I upgraded the firmware on my phone by flashing the kdz of it and since then I've been seeing "optimizing apps" every time I turn on/reboot my phone. I tried factory resetting it, and that worked UNTIL I restored the nandroid that I had made before resetting it. I then decided to wipe the cache (including the dalvik) which worked. I had never wiped the phone's cache before that. I rebooted and no problems, but they came back the next time I rebooted. So.. Yeah... Any ideas? TIA!

I've tried it all folks. New kernels, factory reset, different radios, different ROMs. Every-thing. The WiFi will turn on for a quick second and I will get an error message "Unable to scan for networks" and then the Wifi will just turn on and off on and off over and over again. I've even deleted the files in the data/dhcp and data/wifi folders. Rebooted, still same issue. I've deleted the files and flashed a kernel and rebooted, still same issue.
Of course I am still in contract and will have to purchase a new phone outright from Verizon if I can't get this issue resolved......
I don't know what else to do here.....
Did you try formatting data and system before installing a new rom from recovery? If that doesn't work i would say its a hardware issue. You're not restoring system data with any backup programs are you?

I've wiped pretty much everything known to man on the phone. The ROM installs are all "fresh" I haven't tried to install any APPS on the phone. Just wipe everything, factory reset / Dalvik Cache, all of it... install fresh ROM. Try to turn on Wifi, phone boot loops. No matter what ROM I install, still same issue with Wifi / boot looping.
Well guess we can close this out. I went out and paid full boat for a Samsung Nexus since I couldn't fix this issue.
I'd like to reopen this topic. I had been running Bamf Forever 1.10, but last night I decided to try another ROM because it's been running really slow for some reason.
Did a wipe (factory reset, Dalvik cache) and installed Thunderstick. Now WiFi is broken -- the exact same problem as described in the original post. I tried flashing a new kernel and new radios, and cannot get WiFi to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Will flashing back to stock ROM/unrooting help?
Thanks!
@ajoesq I had the same problem when i installed thunderstick thru boot manager. My wifi stopped and I could get it going on my phone rom. So i booted back into thunderstick and wifi was working. Booted back to hte phone rom then into recovery and then i flashed my phone rom again without wiping or anything (Thunbershed V1.2) and it worked fine. wifi started agian.

Run a logcat when you try to turn wifi on. Put the output on pastebin.com and post the link. This might tell us what the problem is.
I'd make sure that the radio(s) were at least at the minimum of what the ROM called for.

Ok I just got my S3, straight out of the box I booted into odin and successfully followed these instructions to get root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756885 rebooted and started setting up my phone. It automatically started restoring all my apps then I went on and used titanium to restore my k9 mail and a few other apps (no system data or sms app data or anything like that). After I rebooted a messaged appeared " Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" cleared the cache, fixed permissions, cleared cache and data of the messaging app. Nothing worked. Reset factory. As soon as the phone booted to the setup screen the messaging app error was already there. Back to Odin and reloaded the rooted tar file (I'm using the full stock, rooted version) and I still get the error when I turn the phone on! How can that be?
Exact same problem

My SIII is doing the exact same thing. Verizon 32 gb rooted stock I am returning and they are shipping me a new one on the 14 day no worry guarantee.
Mine SIII also get a busy signal when trying to make a call an phone wont call out or receive calls I am reading where this is happening to a lot of them.

Hi I found another thread that had a solution, didn't think it would work but it did. I can't find the thread or I'd give him credit.
Basically, boot into odin and flash this (verizon stock unrooted) h**p://samsung-updates.com/get/2114/Samsung_Firmware_SCH-I535_VZW_I535VRALF2_Android_4_0_4.html after its done let it boot and then restart and go back into odin and reflash the rooted image. It's odd but it worked and all my apps and data remained(but backup just in case).
Factory reset guys. You are writing system files over existing system files. Factory reset. Factory reset. Factory reset

Factory reset didn't work, first thing I tried...did it twice, nor did reflashing the rooted image, fixing permissions, clearing caches, etc. After the factory reset and reloading the rooted image, the error would appear on the language selection screen when first being setup. Reloading the stock non-rooted image and then reflashing the rooted image was the only thing that fixed it.

Your my hero! This worked perfect. Now everything is as I want it. Once you validate you should make a new topic in development with the subject being the error message and Samsung Galaxy SIII this way all the people with this problem can easily impliment the solution.
Also you were correct. None of my data was lost.
:good::good:
My pocket felt hot, so I pulled out my phone and saw that it kept rebooting itself. It just shows the initial Samsung splash for maybe a second or two, then loops again. I can get into Recovery and Download modes fine. I tried wiping the cache, factory reset, restoring a cwm backup. No luck so far. I've been using the CM9 rom for months. I haven't flashed or changed anything in months, I haven't even installed new apps in a while. Before this happened, it said I had no signal, so I had to restore my EFS(which I've had to do several times since I got the phone, mostly when I was switching back and forth from CM9 and stock to see which I prefer). After going into and out of airplane mode to reset the antenna, the signal and all worked fine. I let the phone cool down to make sure it wasn't just rebooting due to heat, but that didn't change anything. I've been searching here and google for anyone else with an identical issue, but I've failed so far. Everyone else seems to get to the home screen or just having random reboots during use.
Just to clarify, my question is: How can I fix my phone? Is there any other information I can give that would help?
I have the international i9300. I also tried removing the SD card and SIM card, since one thread concerning a different kind of rebooting issue reported success with that. Nope.
Try to reflash a stock rom on Odin
Is that different from restoring the original rom with CWM? I did that already. I don't have or know how to use Odin, but I'll download it and figure it out if that's the next step.
Solution?
Ok, I never didn't have to figure out Odin. I fixed it by wiping dalvik, factory resetting, restoring the stock rom, wiping it all again, rebooting into stock(it worked), then restoring back to the backup I made after the crash. Some of these steps might not be crucial, but at worst you waste a few minutes to make sure it works right again. Hopefully it'll help others with similar problems.
Ok so I am new to rooting in general, and using ROMs. After a bunch of research I picked the one I liked the best. I rooted the phone, and then installed a rom, I wiped the cache and everything else.
The phone turned on, worked great, but when I went into my Play Store to download apps, they just said "installing" and wouldn't complete. I went back into recovery, cleared cache and wiped the delvik and restarted the phone, which is when I got "Optimizing Apps" or whatever, after that was finished my Play Store apps finished installing.
Then the other problem arised, I couldn't send/receive text messages. I've wiped it about five times, even installed stock firmware and started from scratch, if it doesn't do the "Optimizing Apps" thing, texts work but once it does that texts no longer work but apps install.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I have tried this with two separate ROMs and had the same issue with both, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

My Note 2 is rooted/bootloader unlocked with CASUAL. Running Beans stock 4.3 ROM. The phone worked GREAT for over a year but a few months ago, apps began to close randomly and the phone would reboot frequently.
So I decided to wipe the phone and start over. I have done this twice and the issue persists. The last time I wiped the phone, I flashed the stock recovery and wiped it multiple times (wipe cache & factory reset).
Then I reflashed the firmware, the ROM and the radio.
However, the phone is still rebooting several times a day.
I have tried 4 different batteries and it doesn't make a difference.
Any ideas? Is there a way to determine if there is something physically wrong with the phone, i.e. bad memory or processor?
Thanks

Odin back to stock and see if that helps. If it doesn't then it's hardware related.
i am having the same issues, is there a fix?
