I did the latest update on my s10+ , and i had a bunch of issues (finger print scanner, wifi, slower, etc..)
I did i full factory reset. First within the settings (reset to factory) and that didn't work, so i went into recovery (vol up, bixby and power in the same time), did a cache clean and 2 factory reset and it fixed everything. works even better than before. So i know it's a pain, but i think this last update might mess something for some.. so just do a complete factory reset but from recovery. Just before that do it inside the settings if you have a samsung account enabled (to disable it)
my 2cents.

Hi,
I installed VillainRom 5.3. All is great and ok but it's not ok when I try to use RSS from HTC News app (not widget...and anybody has that issue). I get FC everytime. Then I can't reset also autokiller app.
I was thinking to try a soft or hard reset. Do you think is a good idea? Can I do it also with a custom rom? How can I do it?
Thank you.
Hard reset; taking out the battery,
Soft reset; close app/whatever and open it again.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure this is what it is, "Hard" reset being, hardware. "Soft" reset being software...

Yes, correct.
I made a hard reset and now I don't have anymore some apps of Villainrom I had before (3D Gallery, News and Weather, ecc..)
That's extreamy odd.. You just took out the Battery and restarted the phone?
Did you;
Flash the rom,
restart,
install apps,
froze,
hard reset
- missing apps?
Try and reflash the ROM with this method, or backup a previous Nandroid backup,
Go into recovery, restart + hold down Home
Wipe everything
Flash Latest Radio
Restart
Flash ROM
Restart + let ROM load, this will take a while (Up to 20 mins)
Have a look at your new rom, but don't bother doing anythign (Setting ect..)
Restart
Now, when the ROM loads it will be quicker and you can use it normaly
After a few restarts it tends to get slighty quicker.
Have fun
I solved the problem installing the new version of the ROM.
I've searched around the forums and so far, most of the results were people having trouble with their phone getting stuck in recovery/boot/download mode.
My phone, however, is stuck in the call mode where the keypad takes up most of the screen. Everything else is working fine with the phone, as I can see unread text messages and other programs that running and notifying me of updates in the background. Wifi and data work fine as well.
The problem is, I can't get out of the call keypad mode and into my home screen with all my apps. I've tried restarting, turning it on/off, taking out the battery, and charging it via USB to the computer. Nothing is working! Please help :crying:
Clear data on phone & if that doesn't work maybe try a factory reset ?
Do the following steps below:
- Boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- fix permissions (under advanced)
- reboot system now
This issue sounds familiar......like a launcher problem. I have 3 fixes:
Clear data of your launcher
or download another launcher, by trying to get to your play store app by universal search or from the playstore on the pc
if strangely none of the above works, flash another rom or reflash your rom if you like it that much
Note that this message should have been the 1st, cause if im right the two solutions you recieved above should work. The problem is if your running stock ics 4.0.4, you may end up with the emmc brick bug if you use recovery or do a factory reset. We dont know what your using since you never told us.
Before we get started, I'll list what I've done. I've....
Factory reset the watch, I've reset the watch after it was factory reset. I've disabled and re-enabled Bluetooth on my phone (An HTC One M8) restarted it, re-enabled bluetooth, attempted to connect (Via Android Wear, of course) after everything is reset. I've done this in every imaginable order. I've even tried to connect via phone bluetooth. (not through Android Wear.)
I've also tried to go through all of my apps that might access anything bluetooth related; nothing. I've ALSO ALSO gone through my apps to clear the cache on everything that might be related to it.
I said "Screw it!" and I did a factory reset, which was hard for me to do. Nothing. Same error. Tried all of the above AFTER the factory reset. Nothing.
Then I went back to the beginning and I upgraded my ROM. (Skydragon 6.1 GPe) Nothing.
I did all of the above after re-installing that ROM. Nothing.
I went back to the recovery and wiped the cache/dalvik and just re-installed the ROM. Again, nothing.
Obviously, as we all know, you don't actually type anything in, you just verify the number, so there's no way I could have messed the code up.
Anyway, at this point, I'm out of ideas. If I remember something that I didn't put on here, I'll edit my post.
Anyone have any ideas?

FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING THIS ISSUE: Update your phone's firmware! That's all I had to do to get mine to work.
Can I have a mod close this thread?
Thread closed per OP request.
Have a stock T-Mobile Note 8 I purchased in November. I've held off updating for quite some time - I was hoping a "great" root would come along so I was waiting.
Recently my Google app seemed to break - it would load and show the Google logo/whatever at the top but no information below. I tried deleting the cache, and then the app data - still no go. So I decided to finally apply the update that the phone keeps nudging me about. I think this was to go to BQLA.
And after the update...phone boots, compiles, and gets to an initial screen with "System UI has stopped". And that's it. Since I had bluetooth enabled I'm actually still able to answer calls via the headset - but nothing else.
I've tried a cache wipe via recovery - nothing. I tried running an update via Smart Switch (not sure to what version) - and after fiddling with the phone to get it into a mode Smart Switch would recognize it applied whatever that update was. Still get "System UI has stopped" after boot.
The only thing I haven't tried is a factory wipe & reset - because I'm still vaguely hopeful I won't have to and I don't know that it will fix anything anyway.
Any suggestions? Do I try using ODIN and an image from SamMobile? Take it to a Samsung Experience store at Best Buy?
You have done all the right things. your only option is to do a factory reset. hopefully you had things backed up to samsung cloud.
Do you have any overlays or substratum themes installed? I had the same issue awhile ago and I couldn't figure out what to remove via adb. I ended up factory resetting. I think there was something in one of the theming threads.
Edit: all the threads say either try to enter emergency mode or perform a factory reset through the stock recovery.
[hangs head in shame] - yes, I do. Can't stand the default white (why is Samsung so stupid as to use light-colored backgrounds with their AMOLED screens?!)! I guessed that was the case...
I took it to a local service center - and they wiped it (as well as updating to the latest and grittiest) - and it worked. Then I logged into my Samsung account and restored app data - and it locked up again. So now I've wiped twice more while fiddling with it - definitely substratum related.
Thanks for trying!

Your supposed to uninstall all and any substratum apps, mods or tweaks prior to updating or flashing anything

Anyone ever get the below? Notes: Phone was working fine ever since I got it. I got it close to when it came out. S9+ on Xfinity Mobile (Verizon). I run Nova Launcher. I haven't rebooted in a long time, so for some reason I decided to reboot. When I did so it says "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116". It finishes that and takes me to the below message. I've already tried step 1. No luck. I have not erased app data, but tried to get into safe mode using power and volume down button. That did not work.
I guess my only option is to try and Erase App Data?
Android Recovery
Your phone couldn't start normally. Some configuration data may be corrupt. Follow the instuctions below.
1. Try again Restart your phone. If your phone continues to be unable to start, go to the next step.
2. Erase app data Deleting app configuration data may allow your phone to start in Safe mode. Safe mode allows access to basic functions, so you can back up any important data stored on your phone. After backing up your data, a factory reset may be needed to get your phone to start normally.
3. Visit a service center If you don't want to erase your app data or your phone still doesn't start, visit a service center for assistance.
.. and on the very bottom says:
Reboot Recovery Cause is [system_server:8409 RecoverySystemRescueParty]#Support SINGLE-SKU
Block-Based OTA Supported API: 3
PS - The only thing I did today that was new was install a WWE Wrestling game, play it once, and uninstall it. Everything else was normal. Phone, text, notepad software, browse web, YouTube, etc.
So, I tried #2.. selected erase app data from the menu. Took a few seconds and rebooted. Did the "Phone is starting.. optimizing app XX of 116" again. Went right back to the Android Recovery screen.
This sucks because I NEED my phone for work. #1 - it's my alarm clock. #2 - they track when I log in and out and where I go with GPS. #3 - I call back to work during the day.
I can get into "Maintaince Boot Mode" and from there can try a Factory Reset which I am hoping I do not have to..
PSS - I tried to erase cache no luck. Tried to erase app data. No luck. Always comes backm to Android Recovery.
PSSS - Just did Vol Up + Bixby + Power. Went in to Wipe Data/Factory Reset. It's 12:45AM and I need to get to bed. I'm hoping this will at least fix it so I can wake up and get to work tomorrow.
So far it's doing something.. asked me a few questions.. I got past WiFi and it shut off. I didn't know I was low on power.
Sorry maybe I shouldn't have posted if I wasn't going to wait a bit (for an answer) before doing a factory reset. I paniced and factory reset.
Anyway, it's updating everything now. Then I can reinstall everything I need. I did lose all my phone number contacts.
