Hello Everyone,
This is my mom's phone so there will be no rooting/flashing fixes please.
Whenever I try to open settings and update the phone I get the message stated above. I tried clearing settings cache and data in safe mode and yet the problem persisted and I eventually factory reset the phone, since no answer was present but the problem persists even after the factory reset. This wouldn't be much of a problem but sometimes the phone does not make or receive calls and it will not send or receive messages unless rebooted and since my mom is not tech savy and she does not understand technology at all she is helpless to fix it and loses patience quickly with it.
If anyone has any ideas please do present them. Thank you for your help in advanced.
Use the Kies 3 software from samsung. It will connect and re-program and flash and reset the device to working order again.

Then just connect and go to Tools menu, and select "Upgrade and Initialize"

Hi Everyone,
I have the Motorola Razr XT910 with Android version 2.3.6 (the latest update). I had issues with the signal since last update mid February. So after so many trials to solve the issue, I decided to do a factory resetting yesterday.What happened is the signal became better, but I receive a continuous message whenever I connect to the internet. The message says "Sorry! The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly, please try again." So I have to force close. I tried to search for a solution in the net but no help.
Kindly help me

If you're rooted I would boot into recovery and wipe cache/system etc.
If you're not and don't plan to, then the only thing I think you would be able to do and hope it works would be to format internal storage and remove your SD card, do another factory restore and see if that clears it up.
Otherwise you're probably going to need to root so you have more control over the internal data to wipe and start fresh.
That process that is crashing is a core piece of the operating system. Something got borked along the way for some reason. Don't fret someone here much smarter than myself will be able to help you, just not at 11:30pm at night

Thanks for the help.
My Razr is not rooted so I'll try the 2nd option.
BTW, I'm in overseas now and it is morning time here.
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
!!ALL QUESTIONS GO IN THE Q&A FORUM!! OR THEY MAY BE DELETED
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.
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.
Hi,
I tried rooting my phone using this method [Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo SM-903F] for the first time using Odin and it seemed to succeed on Odin but on my phone it is a different story...
I keep getting Unfortunately, x has stopped working...
the follwing is a list of some of the processes that have stopped working since:
download manager - unable to download anything
user dictionary - everytime I use the keyboard
contacts storage - can't get onto the contacts app
weather daemon - weather gone off lockscreen, no big deal
media storage - looks like i'm unable to store anything
The phone now shows as connected in Odin but whenever I open the Windows Explorer, I can't see it
I've tried restarting the phone a couple of time to no avail.
I fear I may have screwed up my phone a little too much - is there a way to return it back to how it was or fix this mess?
I'm going to try and Factory Reset it, is this a good idea or do any of you have any other ideas?
Thanks
Hello and welcome to XDA Q&A section of the Forum.
A factory reset is always a good idea. But before you try that, open SuperSU and go to settings and disable root and reboot, see if the problem still persists, if it still happens, you know the root of the problem (pun unintended) but if it stops it is because of root. To fix this, do a wipe and then root it and try again.
If I helped, hit "thanks"

Two days after getting my XA Ultra, I received the latest firmware update. Everything was flawless until I couldnt unlock my phone since the system ui was crashing. I tried booting to recovery mode and perform a basic factory reset and I could not.
I plugged my device to my PC and for some reason, the system ui stopped crashing. I tried going to settings and factory resetting it from there, every time phone would reboot, it would boot android back again without resetting my data.
I ended up using the software repair option and here I am still at 40% trying to fix it.
What combination keys should I use to boot my device to recovery mode and reset it?

It seems it's a security problem. The phone is encrypted by So Sony and every time I set a password an error occurs and it makes the settings app crash. I managed to run a "software repair" using the Xperia companion which downloaded the latest firmware and reinstalled it onto the phone but bug is still there.
I contacted Sony but tech support agents are always rude and helpless they had no technical knowledge. I am now using the phone but I cannot set a pin or pattern otherwise the system crashes.
Phone is under warranty I could easily mail it back to Amazon but I wouldn't like another customer to have this issue. Any suggestions?
In this case I would recommend the use of Flashtool. Your problem is software related and can easily be fixed without the painful process of an RMA.
Flashtool can auto download the latest firmware and will do a COMPLETE wipe and reflash of all data.
