i am still relatively new to hacking this device, but not to hacking in general so please bear with me. i am also new to this forum so i apologize if i forget to add any necessary information or follow any rules when posing questions like this.
i have superuser installed on my galaxy s4 along with TWRP v2.5.0.2.
Somewhere along the way something went wrong because i was no longer able to make calls.
i check the hardware and everything seemed fine so i deducted that i must have done something wrong and that is what was causing the issue.
Now i regretfully did a Factory Reset through TWRP and now the phone starts up to the AT&T "Welcome to your new phone!" screen.
After setting everything up, wifi, language, etc. i click finish and the screen hangs for a bit, then displays a message "Superuser Granted to Shell" before crashing and going back to the original "Welcome to your new phone!" page and displaying a message "Unfortunately settings has stopped".
i can access my phone through USB since i had debugging enabled but i have no idea how to resolve this issue.
Please help!

Hi all,
This is my first thread here, but I'm not too noobish when it comes to technology. However, if I'm breaking a forum rule or you need more information, please ask.
I have a GNex with Verizon running 4.0.2. I am rooted and have flashed Clockwork Recovery and in the past flashed MIUI; however, it was a little sluggish for me and at the time I didn't have time to fiddle with it so I restored to a Nandroid backup I had created before flashing. As a side note, I haven't been able to get CWM Recovery to work correctly in the past as it will flash correctly (using the Galaxy Nexus toolkit) and I can boot into it directly after flashing, but after booting into Android, restarting, and attempting to boot into recovery it will give me the android/red triangle error. Not sure what that means, but if I need to use it I can usually boot into it without flashing.
Anyway, on to the meat of the problem here. Earlier today I took my phone off of WiFi to use LTE here (Bay Area, CA) but my phone wouldn't connect to the cellular network. Nothing I haven't seen before; I cycled airplane mode and the "data enabled" option and restarted to no avail. Upon rebooting, I got the "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" twice in a row. At this point, no bars displayed at all. Confused, I looked into Mobile Network Settings and under Network Mode it oddly stated that the preferred network mode was set to WCDMA preferred (specifically, GSM/WCDMA preferred). I can try to set it back to LTE/CDMA but it will only reset it back to GSM/WCDMA.
WiFi works, but as soon as I turn it off it will revert to the greyed out bars inside a triangle. As I type this now, there are currently two bars, but they are grey and of no use. I just tried to call someone, and the call went through, but the double "com.android.phone has stopped" dialogue box came up again
I suppose I am willing to do a stock reset, but I'd rather not due to my large amount of music, video, etc on my phone; plus, it's just no fun to throw in the towel and do a reset
Any and all help is welcome, and like I said if you need more information please ask. I googled this issue and no similar threads popped up on any forums, so I hope that if/when my issue is resolved this will serve as a guide to others who experience this issue. That is, assuming they do; my tech issues are all too often unique to my own horrendously bad luck.
gracias, dudes.
Bump since it was buried.
Now fixed with a wipe/reset. Initially I wiped/reset and restored all apps/data (including system) with Titanium Backup, but after the system data had been restored and I rebooted I encountered the same exact problem. I wiped/reset again and just let the Market redownload all my apps and the problem has since stayed away.
Any ideas on what exactly could have caused the issue, though? I'm curious.
Edit: Please lock or delete this thread. I've reposted the question in the correct forum.
Hi everyone,
This is my first post and I hope I won't somehow piss anyone off. I'm just looking for a little advice or guidance.
Device: SPH-D710 Samsung Galaxy S2 on Sprint (CDMA). It was running the latest over the air ICS update. It was not rooted.
Background: Starting about a month ago the phone began to occasionally restart on its own. Also, my clock widget began to disappear randomly, no matter how many times I would put it back on the screen. Would occasionally crash on resource heavy apps like chrome or facebook.
Problem: While running an app the phone crashed. I pulled the battery and restarted it. It never booted. The screen remains completely black and the blue LED light stays on. I've tested a different battery, it wasn't the problem. I've plugged it into my computer and it does not see the device.
Question: I'm pretty sure this phone is bricked but would love confirmation (whether you can confirm or tell me how I can confirm). What I really care about is being able to access the data that was on the phone. Is there any way I can access the data? The sprint store said it would be 50 bucks to look at it and if they can't fix it they would get me a new phone. I really don't care about a new phone. Is there anything that they can do to recover my data that I can't?
Basically, is there anything I can do to access the internal memory files? (Secondary question is can I fix the phone).
Thank you in advance for your input and excuse me if I haven't followed all common etiquette on this forum. (I did search the topic).
Hello wukilaflee
Can you access the download or recovery mode of your phone? Take a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_Series At some point it says to activate "USB debugging". Since your phone doesn't boot up just try the key combination. Please report in which modes your phone boots up.
To partially answer the question of your files/data: If you used an external sd-card you can pull it out of the phone and put it into your computer (maybe you need an adapter). But most of the files will be on the internal storage of the phone. That's the tricky part. But first of all answer the question above. If it boots in download/recovery phone I'm pretty sure that it's not totally bricked

Hello Experience7, the OP clearly states they've realised they posted in the wrong forum & has now re-posted to the correct forum.
Sorry, I thought this is already the "moved" post. Thanks.

Hi there fellow S6 edge owners.
my version of Samsung S6 Edge is Hong Kong's G9250, only got this phone two days, ago, I used to have an HTC One m7 and always rooted with custom roms, but seems like Samsung has done a great job this time, I am going to stick with stock rom for now.
Strange things happened to me after I purchase from the store and with the helpful staff from the samsung store helping me setting up this beauty. Not long later after I walk out of the store the Following message from Security Log pops up: "Unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes"
So I restart my phone, thinking it's no biggie, but the message would reoccur any time in between 30 to 2 hours, or when I am updating and installing apps as a new phone. I didn't transfer any old contents, nor having install any apk manually. The rom is stock as it can be.
So I factory reset it, and the same message would keep popping up, I scan my phone using the security app and no threats were found, but I had to restart my phone to make the notifications goes away, I start to suspect there might be something wrong with the rom itself or the kernel, so I decide to Factory reset it in under 6 hours of purchase, after booting on and signing in, the message would come up again!!
So I took it to the store, and asked them have they seen this? One of the manager said you need to cleared the app preferences and clear the credentials. I also updated the security policy myself. but still no luck. So they gave me a new one, with in 20 minutes of setting up, the message "Unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes" Comes up again.
I am just wondering if any other is experiencing any similar issues? This is getting annoying.
same issue
Im having the same issue with Australian stock.
I too am having the same issue on Australian stock. :/
I'm having the exact same issue with Hong Kong stock. Tried everything from reinstalling to clearing the app preferences.
Has anyone found a solution to this annoyance? I don't like these notifications popping up every 5 minutes!!
If youre rooted, Use TitaniumBackup and freeze "SecurityLogAgent"
it'll get rid of those popups
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Same problem
Norwegian Phone. Same problem. Notification every 5 min or so.

same problem here as well
So, I was faced with the same problem as you all above. I did a bit of research and speculate (I'm still not 100% on this) that this security bug is linked with the keyboard Samsung has preinstalled on the device. Try disabling it, using another keyboard, or just disconnecting it from any network it may use (mainly to update your dictionary regularly.)
What I did exactly:
-Reboot phone into recovery, wipe cache partition, factory reset.
-Start up phone, security threat came after a few minutes, before anything was installed.
-Restarted phone through security to reset kernel
-On startup, disabled keyboard and enabled swiftkey. Scanned, result: secure.
-Enabled keyboard, but disabled all features. No problems. Scanned, result: secure.
-Enabled features one by one, no problems yet. No problems. Scanned, result: secure.
-Reset keyboard settings. Scanned, result: secure. After a few minutes, security was triggered.
As I said, this may or may not be related, but this is the first time I've been seeing my phone as secured since I bought it.
I read somewhere that the problem is known.. and should be fixed in an update...if you are rooted you know what you have to do
Had the very same problem which disappeared with the update to 5.1.1. Have a couple of colleagues who suffered as well as the update cleared it up. Unfortunately from what I've read 5.1.1 kills the prospect of rooting without triggering Knox... Should have done more research before rushing to update...

Usually I'm pretty good at figuring things out on my own but this one is killing me...
I rooted my ASUS Zenfone 2 using SuperSU246 then after tinkering for awhile I began getting a constant pop up saying "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." I tried a ton of methods I had seen online to resolve this problem but nothing worked so I chose my only available option, I restored my phone to factory settings but that was my mistake I believe. I read something online you shouldn't do a reset after you root your phone. But this message would keep popping up no matter how many times I dismissed it...
So after I did the reset the message popped up again and again after I dismissed it again and again so I tried to bear with it by hitting "OK" then quickly moving to the next step of the initial setup process BUT after the "Checking Info" segment it would always say "Couldn't Sign In..." followed by a short message prompting me to call customer service if the problem continues, and I couldn not move past this screen or go back.
Tried going into recovery and wiping the cache partition then doing another factory reset but I keep getting the same problem. Going on a week without my phone now... can anyone help me out? Has this happened to anyone else?

I would reinstall the original firmware and start over.

I have an issue that I think calls for as clean of a wipe as I can do, and start again with Factory Settings. But I will take any advice anyone may have for me.
The problem I am having is caused, I've read, because I put it in Developer Mode when I first bought it. On powering on, I get the page that says OS Verification is "OFF". Then beeps twice, and flashes a black text box, but in upper, left corner. The screen disappears and the next screen appears. It happens fast enough that I can't read the text that may be an error code, I don't know.
That next screen just shows the Chrome logo, then onto the login, and then I'm in.
I read I could change the OS Verification to "on" but I can't because of the unknown text I mention above. I was able to update , but that didn't change the OS Verification screen, the message upper left still appeared, and verification still "OFF".
I did a Powerwash, but that didn't put it back to Factory Settings like I would like as I have thought about getting it cleaned off and giving it to a friend that has no computer. But first, I need to make sure it's actually going to work for her, as good as I can get it to work. I'm thinking the Developer Mode is the issue, and that loud beeping was the first thing that was driving me nuts on reboots. Then I started learning about the Developer Mode, and felt turning it off was best for the CB and I really don't need it. I don't need to side-load, or have it able to load "apps from unknown sources".
I guess I wrote a book, but needed to find someone that "gets" what I'm talking about because I looked all weekend for answers
Thanks in advance for any help
PS that text says something about "gbb.flag in nonzero read-only firmware, id google celes, then some #s and active firmware". That's just all I could get by powering down and up again and reading what I could each time ;(
