Database Develop

Captivate won't clear!

Yesterday my phone started acting up:
- Applications started failing
- Couldn't uninstall apps (it acted like they uninstalled, but they were back after reboot)
I tried wiping from recovery mode, but all apps are still there
I've even tried using Odin to do a master clear and reflash to stock, yet all the apps are still there. All the startup apps crash when I restart the phone, including the launcher, so the phone is unusable.
I'm desperate here, as I'm without a phone... any help is greatly appreciated

Ok put the phone in download mode but don't reboot to download mode where you see the yellow droid. Make sure you are at the home screen. Then run Odin then plug the phone in and make sure odin recognizes it. Then hit master clear and the phone will be wiped. Then put it back to download mode, with the yellow droid and then flash back to stock.

That's exactly what I've already done, but I'll try it again
Actually, follow up question; how do I put it into download mode without going to the yellow screen?
Another edit: did you mean to say debugging mode?

Yeah sorry I keep referring to usb debugging as download mode sorry for that.
setting > applications > development > usb debugging

ok, completed the master clear. It stated everything was successful. After the reboot, the phone came back, all apps still installed, and all apps still trying to launch on startup and FC-ing immediately. Going to try the reflash to stock now

Same thing... after master clear and reflashing, everything is still there...

Do a facotry reset from the privacy menu and see how that works if not then reboot into recovery and clear data/cache and see if that does anything. Master clear completely wipes the phone there is nothing on it at all. Can you get into any program to uninstall stuff.
I would take it back and tell them its got a mind of its own.

I've tried all of those things multiple times. When using uninstall programs, the device acts like it's uninstalling, but does it way too quickly and says it's successful. They're still there, though, and after I reboot they show up again.

Ok here is what you do...Menu/settings/sd card and phone storage..scroll to internal storage and unmount sd card...then format sd card...Then reboot in to downlaod mode and reflash with odin 1 click...after it boots up reboot into recovery mode and clear cache and user data...then reboot and you will be good to go...You willl lose all your stuff on your internal storage so back up anything important...

Sadly this didn't do the trick either, and I unmounted/formatted the internal twice for good measure. It's like there's a hardware problem, or the storage is locked out somehow. I gave up earlier today and called in the warranty, so there's a refurb on the way now. I hate to give up, but I think it was the only remaining option

[Q] Repair Galaxy Note N7000 SystemUI / TouchWiz home stopped working errors?

Hello everyone,
I've been literally 12 hours searching for possible answers on how to repair my Galaxy Note N7000 which from what I've concluded, has a problem that can be easily repaired but I've found nothing but limitations when I have a go at it. It doesn't seem to be bricked as I can still access recovery mode, download mode and it effectively boots, it's only giving me errors.
Here's what happened:
1) I tried rooting it using UnlockRoot PRO. Paid the PRO version, detected the device. Later I find it says the N7000 with 4.1.2 is not compatible so the rooting process was never completed, so I rooted it using Root_SuperSU.0.95.Only-signed and it worked just fine.
2) Everything worked fine, downloaded Andromizer to customize the phone.
3) Changed the DPI size to test it, then went to Developer Options and changed the Animation scales to 0.5 to make it all run faster.
4) Rebooted the device. Once I did, I got nothing but "SystemUI has stopped working" together with "TouchWiz home has stopped working errors".
I checked around the web and so far, what I've found (and tried) is this:
1) There seems to be a bug related to TouchWiz and the Animation Scale option (or perhaps the DPI size option in Andromizer). So I tried to do a wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode.
2) When trying the wipe data / factory reset through recovery mode, I rebooted the phone, only to find the SAME errors after I registered everything.
3) First option that came to mind was to wipe everything and immediatly reinstall the Official JellyBean 4.1.2 firmware (at this point I want to pretty much unroot the device as I didn't know it was going to give me so much trouble). When I tried that, I realized that SUDDENLY, Odin (nor Heimdall) are NOT detecting the phone in download mode. I'm guessing it's because USB Debugging is turned off but, I can't access the phone settings. It's my only logical conclusion, although it should be turned on given I could install PhilZ Custom Recovery later.
4) I search around the web and it says it's a driver problem. So I uninstall everything, run CCleaner, USBDeview to uninstall everything related to the Samsung Galaxy. Reboot. Install drivers again. Reboot. Plug booted phone and let Windows detect the device, installed successfully. Reboot in download mode. Let windows detect the device, installed successfully. Run Odin: DEVICE NOT DETECTED. (It does detect it while it's booted though, only it doesn't work for **** obviously).
I've literally tried everything. I've tried checking for a way to install the firmware via Recovery Mode instead of Download Mode. I've tried checking for a way to remotely access the device and mod the settings from there using ADB, and I get the same problem in ADB, doesn't detect the device.
Also tried to reset settings to normal via PhilZ Custom Recovery which I managed to install later.
Isn't there just a way to reset all settings to normal? Shouldn't a factory reset do this? How can I get SOMETHING to work and try to recover the phone? Any Aroma Recovery Script? Any way to mess with the system folder and modify settings manually via notepad or something since due to the SystemUI / TouchWiz home errors I can't access the phone settings?
I'm barely awake at this point. Can't believe I've stressed myself this much. Please help. This is beyond retarded.
Thank you,
Z

i had the same exact problem just few hours ago.....first of all you should boot into recovery mood by pressing vol up+ home button+lock button until samsung logo shows and then wipe all data/factory reset and wipe all cache partitions..........if that didnt fix it you should try rerooting it againg after re wiping

I read the post but it seems you have done a lot of things and nothing worked. So what is the situation right now? You can boot as normal but cannot get any icons or settings as sysUI and TW crashes?

Try installing GB ROM then wipe/cache first. If good, root GB ROM then do full wipe. Then test ROM for crashing.
If good then install JB rom and test. Let us know.

unable to enter phone setting ？ then just simply look for a secsetting.apk for ur version then replace it n set the permission rw-r--r--

Bwahahah, now I see why you guys enjoy calling newcomers "noobs".
It was a computer problem. I just reinstalled JB 4.1.2 from my netbook and it worked.
Weird as hell though, given that I updated my GT-N7000 to JB 4.1.2 through Odin in this computer and it never gave me any problems.
I AM going to learn some ADB / Android SDK though. I'd rather learn everything before something like this happens to me again.
I appreciate everyone's concern, and thank you all for it.

nice to hear that you had this one fixed

Glad to hear its working now.

**unable to restore data from a kies 3 backup**

So I backed up my Galaxy Note 3 today and restored it to factory settings in order to re-root after unrooting via the SuperUser app method, however after unrooting, I changed my mind about going back and rooting it again, so I went straight to restore the data from the back up. I'm doing this in Kies 3 and when it asks me to "Select the Backup File To Restore" and I choose the "Select Folder" option and choose the correct backup folder from today, nothing happens in Kies.
I have tried selecting it multiple times and putting the file in different locations in hopes that would change something, but somehow Kies 3 is failing to select it or recognize it.
Keep in mind that I'm not getting any error messages or pop-up notifications whatsoever. Kies 3 simply doesn't respond to the folder I chose.
I have also tried uninstalling Kies 3, and re-installing it.
And yes, when I backed up my data, the backup was a success.
Any thoughts on how to fix it? Or other programs that might be able to read a Kies 3 backup file and do it for me? Thanks!

samsung sm-g800f issue

Hello.
I rooted my samsung sm-g800f phone using odin, first time i forgot to put the phone in the loader menu and the phone got broken.
I got the message: firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again
I found a firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-g800f-samsung-galaxy-s5-mini-4-4-2-t2861093
I installed it, and the phone is working again, but i get the message "has stopped working" On gmail, clock, and other apps.
I thought when i installed this firmware my stuff would be gone, but i got the same background, apps and so on.
The country for this firmware is wrong that might cause this issue, i didn't backup my original firmware.

Do a wipe cache/data and factory reset from the recovery . Save your data first because everything is going to be erased .

Downgraded to Kitkat phone worked at first then slowly begin crashing

I sent my phone into Samsung for a repair and they replaced the motherboard, the screen almost a whole new phone. When it was returned they had already downloaded lollipop which towelroot would not work. Found a site that showed me how to downgrade back to kitkat root, install safestrap and I could return to lollipop. I never did the lollipop part as I did not like it much. It worked great at first I was able to return back all my data. After a week it begin to act funny, not wanting to wake up from sleep and then slowly apps begin crashing and not working. I would restart my phone and things were fine. Another week apps were crashing left and right and then my data begin disappearing like my messages and the levels of my saved games. Then it begin restarting on its own 3 times during the night. I tried to reinstall the rom and re-partitioned the phone and did factory reset but it continues to periodically restart even though I have given up on reinstalling my data since it factory resets on its own. I guess I am in a very slow bootloop. Can anyone suggest what I can do? Thanks in advance

When you downgrade to KitKat did you use an All-In-One Odin file which went in the AP Slot? If you did, then Flash all four Odin files for NC2 (KitKat) BL https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891602 AP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891890 CP https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891603 CSC https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96042739161891604 Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613 That will put you back on stock Kitkat and just root with Towelroot.

When I downgraded I did use an all in one but later when I realized it was all bad and reinstalled the rom I did it both ways. Used an all in one and then did it with the four individual files. It still has the problem, it will be working fine then suddenly freeze and the phone will auto reboot. Is there a way to clean it all out then try to stock rom. I am concerned that there is something lingering causing this problem. I did clear the cache several times but it does not help.

After you put all four files in Odin, go to Options and check Nand Erase All (picture 1). Then Once phone reboots, power off and go into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset, then do wipe cache partition (picture 2).

Awesome Thanks!

I did exactly what you said, put the files in Odin and selected the Nand Erase. It loaded rebooted, then I powered off went into recovery mode did a wipe data and then wiped cache. Turned on well, looked good but in the middle of restoring my texts and contacts through Kies it shut down restarted and now getting the same kind of messages that various apps and processes have stopped. It literally is now popping up with so many messages that one thing or another has stopped that I can not even select to restart the phone. This is crazy. I don't know what else to fix. The phone got a new motherboard so what else could be causing this craziness Any help you can provide or light on the subject is very appreciated.

If you didn't root it yet, then do a wipe data/factory reset, then do wipe cache partition in recovery and don't restore anything with Kies and see what happens. If everything works great then, then you know it's Kies messing up your phone.

So it is taking longer and I don't get the message that apps have stopped because there are no updated apps since I did not connect to the play store but after a while like before it is freezing and restarting. So it is back to the original problem of being a slow bootloop. Sorry it is being a pain.

When I first got it back it started right up and it was on lollipop. I went to restore my stuff through titanium backup but realized that I could not root it with Towelroot. I kept the phone like it was for a two days and I don't believe I had any real problems. Nothing I noticed but I did not have all my data completely back. I read up on downgrading my phone back to kitkat in order to root and it also had the option to re upgrage to lollipop and keep the root but I did not like the look and feel of lollipop so I kept it at kitkat. Although I did install the safetstrap program like suggested but never used it, could that be causing the problem? I restored my data and things were just fine for about a week. Then it slowly started having problems being difficult to wake up, then apps crashing, to data disappearing then finally restarting on its own over and over. This process of breakdown took about three weeks. I was concerned that my data could have been the problem so when I restored the ROM the first time and wiped it clean I hope that would take care of the problem but like what happened today it still begin the out of the blue restart for no reason. I would not be using the phone or anything, it would just restart on its own.

Safestrap will keep your stock recovery from booting up if Kies needs it to. After you had Safestrap on it did you use any Odin files (not the "all-in-one" as it will not wipe your phone)?

Sorry it took me so long to respond to your question. No I followed the process from the below website. After I installed safestrap, SuperSU , Busybox and towel root, I just connected to Kies reinstalled most of my data then used Titanium backup to install my games levels. I did not follow the process to bring it back to lollipop.

Everything looks good. Where you on NC2 when you did your backup with Kies (with the old motherboard)? Because there is NJ 5 and NL1 which are Kitkat too.

I don't remember what it was before. When I got my phone before I only needed to install towelroot and moved everything over. I never paid attention to which version of kitkat I was on. Hindsight I probably should have but I only remember being on Kitkat and not the specifics.

If you only installed Towelroot, then you was on NC2. This is up to you, if you want to. But I would Odin the [100% Stock] Lollipop 5.0 (N900AUCUEOC1) Odin Tars http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 (the Individual/Wipe Tars ones) and then upgrade it to OC2 (though phone) and see if it gives you any problems. If it does, I would say that motherboard is the problem then. If there is no problems, you can always Odin back to NC2. Or if you want, install Busybox, supersu and Safestrap on what you have now and put your backup from Titanium and Kies on your phone and then boot into Safestrap and tap WIPE > ADVANCE WIPE > DALVIK CACHE and swipe to wipe. Then ADVANCE > FIX PERMISSIONS > swipe to confirm.
