Good afternoon all,
I have recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 via kies to Android 4.3. I couldn't do the update over the air as it was rooted. I had to go through and root my phone again through Odin and again all that went fine.
However since doing this I have had to restore my device 2 times as it shuts down every now and then and I find I 'lose' some apps...mainly games, which I find annoying. It also wipes any saved text messages.
At first I thought it was only losing apps that I'd downloaded through other means (i.e. not Play) but it appears not. I still have the apk files stored on the phone and have tried to re-install them but I get a message of 'app not installed'
Can anyone tell me why this is the case? As I have previously said it has only been since updating to Android 4.3. Not sure if it is due to rooting my phone (i'm guessing not).
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Chris

Please use the red report button and ask a mod to move the post.
See multiple posts re OTA and root problems.
Suggest factory reset if that does not fix then flash stock 4.3 through Odin .
I know that I can't do OTA updates... My problem is that the phone will restart, without warning and when it reboots I have lost all my text messages and a few apps. Trying to reinstall the apk files gives me the error 'app not installed'
I have tried factory reset both through the recovery mode and the system settings, but nothing resolves it.
My phone is rooted and runs Android 4.3 which was updated through kies.
The apps it loses are games so that's not a major issue... It's all the text messages.
I have a very similar problem, phone always shuts down and restarts on it's own. A couple of times it has lost some apps but usually it just starts up again fine but it's very annoying. Sometimes it gets stuck in a boot loop too.
A Google search for random reboot or random shut down brings up a lot of results but no solution's, so it seems to be a common problem. It's not just the stock rom either as it still does it when rooted and running other roms.
Hi, I rooted my galaxy s7 from att using this method, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNInTlCpv8E
It worked perfectly and I had my new rooted phone! So a couple of days after the root one of my apps stop working and I cannot get it to start working, it was a pushup workout app, so I restart my phone and it gets into a boot loop stuck on the at&t logo. I was very sad as I did not back anything up so I wiped my phone using the recovery boot and signed in and re-flashed the root rom through odin and re-installed supersu and it worked perfectly again. The next day I have the same problem but this time with snapchat and instagram so I knew what was going to happen and I restarted and it did the same thing. This time when I went into recovery boot I noticed "dm-verity verification failed" in red at the bottom. As of now I am just going to do what I did last time and wipe and re-flash as I made a backup this time and just restore my phone and hope it doesn't happen again. If someone could please explain why this is happening and maybe help me fix it I would be so happy thank you!
UPDATE 7/26/16: I re flashed the ap root file with odin without doing a factory reset and it is still stuck in a boot loop, meaning I have to do a factory reset to get it out.
Mine is doing same thing. I used chain fires root. Everything went perfect. Then couple days later apps started saying they had stopped and phone started freezing. Every app I tired to open would say they had stopped. Then it constantly kept saying Google play services had stopped. I tried to reboot and stuck into bootloop everytime. Rooted again same thing happened again. U ever find a fix or anyone no how to fix this
Hi!
My girlfriend has an LG L70 Dual Sim (D325f 0814) phone. About one moth ago, the phone started suddenly restarting. After one restart this image showed in the screen. hZZZttZZZps://wwZZZw.dropZZZbox.com/s/teklp3uZZZpaz6f5mz/20170118_ZZZ194100.ZZZjpg?dl=0
I have never used other battery in the phone. (replace all triple ZZZ to nothing and you can have the correct link)
After that I tried a factory reset. But it did't helped. After the reset, the phone always shows me com.android.systemui has stopped error message. So i decide to install other room. I don't know, other ROM solve this problems, but I don't have any other idea. So Where can I find ROM for this phone? And how can I install it? I only need a working phone, i don't want android 5 or any costum things. The phone currently running Android 4.4.2 (kernel version 3.4.0+ build number KOT49I.A1464618841)
Please help!
Thanks.
Normally installing mods or messing with system causes this errors
Ultimate solution is reflash the ROM using stock ROM
You can download the ROM using google and flash it via stock recovery
This will solve your problems
Thanks for the answer The Hard Gamer. I install D32510F_00 firmware from csmgdl.lgmobile.com. The com.android.systemui message goes away. Now i wait for other system error messages.
First I'd like to thank you all for this forum, it helped us very much.
A few weeks ago My P780 (with english KitKat, rooted by seller) started showing these error messages "calendar has stopped working" "acore has stopped working" "google services has stopped working" "(random app) has stopped working". Only pushing the reset button got rid of these messages. These crashes became more and more frequent and I decided to try and solve it. I watched many "how to" videos on youtube and I decided to clear cache in factory mode. It did not solve it. Than I saved all my important data, and did a factory reset. The loading screen was on for too long, and I thought it froze, so I pushed reset. This made my phone to have a boot loop.
My brother has the exact same phone, and he did a Jellybean upgrade a year ago, and it was successful. So I have my phone to him, to repair it. Just by curiosity he did a memory check on HIS P780, and when he stopped it, it almost made his phone brick. So we had 2 identical bricked P780s.
After so many tries, he disconnected the battery and managed to recover his phone, and it works perfectly again. The strange thing is, he can't repair my phone though using the same method, same software, same driver, same cable and trying many ROM versions. After installing ROM, my phone works perfectly, but when he installs google services, all those "unfortunately stopped" error messages return. We can't understand why these error messages appear, if the phone was reflashed so many times and we tried so many ROMs. Does anybody have a clue?

Can you be more specific? What firmware did you flashed? Most of them have GAPPS installed.
Did you flashed the firmware with SP Flash Tool?

Yes, we used SP Flash Tool.
We tried firmware/ROM: "s129" (factory) and "p780_s941_vibeui_v2.0_1512". Both without GAPPS, because our phones are CE (china), not ROW (rest of the world). CE firmware does not include GAPPS. Tomorrow we will try to install ROW firmware.

Ok. I understand now. Try to flash ROW and see what is going on.

We installed VIBEUI_2.0_1512_7.149_1_ST_P780_baralajbi, this version included GAPPS and it workes perfectly. Everything is way better than the factory ROM. Unfortunately after a few days of usage the same problem returned (android unfortunately stopped), but now I noticed something. My phone keeps overheating.
I remember now, this has happened before, with the factory ROM, my phone became hot all the time, but I thought it's because of the very hot summer temperature. Now I noticed, that even if I keep the phone in my pocket, wifi, data transfer, gps, and everything turned off, not many applications running in the background, and my phone is still quite hot. When I turn the screen on and start using some apps, after 10-15 minutes it crashes.

I understand now. This is an hardware problem.
Hi Friends...
I have a Micromax D303 android 4.4 mobile. There is a problem with it. It gets soft bricked automatically after some time. I have to reinstall the firmware to make it work again.
Here is its behavior:-
First of all, its launcher stops working (launcher 3). ERR:- "Unfortunately, the launcher has stopped working." Using Titanium backup, I saw that launcher freezes. Defrosting it didn't work. It remains froze. Slowly slowly, it happens to all the apps. And at last, a time comes when it becomes useless. It will reboot automatically and will be stuck on the logo. Then I flash the ROM and make it work. I only use its stock ROM.
What I have tried:-
1. I installed stock ROM but it stops working again after some time.
2. During the firmware installation, I have tried "format + download" option.
3. I usually root my mobile, but I have tried keeping it without root. Still, the problem happens.
4. I thought, there may be some Trojan Horse in my memory card. But, I have tried formatting it, changing it and even kept my mobile without it. But the problem persists.
This problem starts happening when I once tried to flash it with a custom ROM. I bricked my mobile. Then I repaired it by flashing stock ROM. After that, this problem starts happening. Sometimes, it happens after two months, sometimes, even after two days.
Can anyone have any guess about this? Any solution? Anyone?
By the way, this is my first thread. I am new here. Hoping to get nice first experience.
Thanks in advance!
