Hi guys,
I have been searching the forums for 2 weeks now trying to fix this myself, but I have put my pride in my pocket and am asking for help.
Backstory: Rooted phone, flashed CWM, used tons of custom froyo ROM's (doc roms mainly) and most recently Darky's 9.3 (awesome).
But then i decided I wanted Gingerbread (this is where the trouble began). Gingerbread worked just fine, but as there is no custom roms, I flashed back to 2.2 (obviosly screwed something up), because since then I have been plagued with process com.whatever.android.somethingelse has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
please don't ask which force close message I am getting, lets just say, I am pretty sure I am getting them all!
I have flashed stock 2.1, custom 2.1, stock 2.2, custom 2.2's, I even went back to gingerbread a few times trying to fix this ***** of a problem. I tried re partitioning just the .pit file and then the other 3 files seporatly. NOTHING WORKS.
So, I am calling out to all you guys and girls who are heaps smarter than me to please help. the phone functions, turns on, make or receive calls and texts (not mms), emails work sometimes, but if I turn the phone off and on all the settings are wiped and I need to reload all the user details.
Oh, I should also add another major issue, I cannot use the internal memory for anything, I cannot take pictures unless I select the external SD card, I cannot install apps from market or .apk. I cannot even move data to it when its mounted on the pc.
I am completely lost. please help me.
And thanks in advance.
I
C'mon guys, I know there is a lot to read, but please, can no-body help me?
Sounds like it might be a dead internal sd card. You said you tried a re-partition with 3 file firmware? That should fix pretty much anything. I think your only option is to return to samsung at this point.

Thanks for the response.
is it possible to fix myself?
As Samsung will not cover it, even if I flash the stock Telstra ROM, it will still show that it has been rooted?
In doing your research, I'm sure you've heard of the internal SD problems that plague the i9000, are you by chance with Bell Mobility? This line concerns me..
"Oh, I should also add another major issue, I cannot use the internal memory for anything"
When I experienced multiple FCs (force closes) and incompatible system UID's, I tried flashing every kind of ROM there was with every kind of PIT file as well to no avail. However, one in particular worked for me and others. It is usually referred to as a full ROM. It contains the .csc and .sbl in it as well as the usual ROM contents.
The ROM I used is called FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar. Note, flashing this ROM with a pit file (be it 512, 513, or 803) wouldn't help me at all. What fixed the problem was flashing ONLY the ROM file in ODIN. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread where I found this ROM. I suggest searching around for it, if you can't find it PM me, and I will up it somewhere for you.
I'm not sure if this will help with your specific case, but its worth a shot. Also, wherever applicable, do a factory reset, clear your cache, and a full wipe install.
Good luck.
[edit]
Do a complete wipe and install with a stock 2.2 or 2.1 ROM in ODIN, there will be no evidence of a root.

Thanks for this dude, I will start my search for that rom.
I do a factory reset, wipe cache and data every time, however after doing all of that and flashing a new rom, it still has my google account details in the phone?? this is wierd, as I factory reset from recovery mode AND wipe all data from within the phone? Any suggestions?
Edit: and no, its is an Australian Telstra i9000

Hmm, that is odd. How are you flashing your ROMs, using CWM? Have you used ODIN before?

I am using odin, this is the wierd part. I have tried repartitioning, not repartitioning, I have tried 512.pt 803.pit, full wipe and reset from both in the phones settings and recovery mode. reboot it, go through settup wizzard (which eventually force closes requiring me to reboot), go into accounts and there is my google account still set up???
Edit: also, I cannot find a file called FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar, I am downloading i9000UGJH2.tar as we speak, but i doubt it is the one you were reffering to, if you are able to point in in the right direction, that would be ace.
Cheers

If you're entering your gmail address in during the setup wizard, our google account will be linked. If you're not setting anything up and it is remembering your info, then something is definitely fishy.
I would flash back to a stock rom, and see what Samsung or your provider can do for you. In all honesty, the only thing I would be able to suggest is flashing and wiping
[edit]
When you download that ROM, open it up (using a program like WinRAR). The point of a full rom is that it contains
-cache.rfs
-dbdata.rfc
-factoryfs.rfs
-modem.bin
-param.lfs
-sbl.bin
-zimage
I'm unsure of any incompatibilities between the Canadian and Australian versions, but I will upload my copy for you to try.

could it be something to do with the file system gingerbread uses? these issues only started when I went back from gingerbread to froyo? (and before you ask, I have tried going back to gingerbread with no solution)
I may have to bite the bullet and shoot it back to Samsung... or just buy another one! would love to try FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar if you could remember where you got it?
Thanks again for your help.

I seem to have remembered it being in this thread, which is why i had it on bookmark, but I'm not sure if the link has been removed or if i had been mistaken since I can no longer find it. I'm uploading for you to Rapidshare, where you can download as a free user...~30 mins . Again, I'm not sure if there are modem incompatibilities or not since this I am in Canada, and you are in Australia.
Another place to check may be here...

The way you're referring to accessing this internal SD....are you flashing your ROMs to an external microsd card?
Here is the full UGJH2 that I flashed (with no other options) that saved me.

No, by accessing my SD, i mean being able to download ansd install apps (and things like that). also, just tried to remove my google (gmail) account from my phone, and it wouldn't let me, it keeps force closing.
Thanks for the upload mate, I really appreciate it, currently downloading it, will let you know.

Hey mate, no go, i got some functionality back on the phone, but still force closes and I cannot save anything to SD (or install apps).
another email account (an exchange server account) that was previously deleted has appeared back set up and working (I have not been able to set this up for a week), it appeared on its own which leads me to think there is a hidden partition on my internal sd, hence I cannot access it. must be something to do with Gingerbread.
Thanks for all your help though.

Edit: It just completely crashed again, force closes just about everything that is open, phone functionality is gone (phone icon vanished) as did contacts. freezes for a couple of minutes and then reboots. i may have to throw it at a wall!
I cannot find anything about the gingerbread partition that would cause problems with froyo. damn this thing!!!

Hi mate,
I have tried that several times, i think there is a hidden partition thanks to Gingerbread.
I would be sure that your internal sd card is screwed but since everything worked fine before gingerbread something else has probably happened. Also your data wont delete and that seems to be the source of the problem. Try to install the lagfix from k13d and see if it had any results. This should reformat all partitions on the internal sd.

Hey guys,
This problem is here longer for me, I've already sent back my phone 2 times, and they won't resolve the issue.
My problem is that the accelerometer is not calibrated right. One side is ok, but in landscape mode it's calibrated horrible. For example, when I use the app 'Google Sky Map' holding the phone in portrait mode just works ok (the horizon is in a straight line). Switching to landscape makes it bad, the horizon is now from 1 corner into another corner...
As I said before, i've already returned it twice to HTC via the shop I bought it. They say I can calibrate it in the program settings. But that's the problem, in al lot of program's / games i cant. Also the plain android homescreen rotates irritating because of the bad callibration.
So, I googled about the issue and couldn't find any solution. But I did find some folder / file (akmd_set.txt) where the sensor info is stored. I have rooted my device, and am running the latest CyanogenMod on it. I already wiped, returned old (non root, stock) android versions on it, rooted again, flashed cyanogen. But none of this works....
Does anyone know a solution to calibrate my settings? Can I get that file, edit it on my PC and flash it back in maybe?
If yes, please explain me
Thanks in advance!
Don't take my word for gospel or anything but....
As far as I know, that file is auto-generated, meaning you can delete it and it will force the accelerometer to recalibrate itself.
I think Cyan's and RA's recoveries both have an option to "Wipe Rotate Settings" which I've done several times, so I know it's safe. Try this if you haven't already. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply, trying it out now.
Did the wipe rotation settings option I have to see if it worked, because none of my aps are working now.... they all have an plain android box icon and clicking on them says the app is not installed.
Yeah, i've got Apps2SD and the SD card is loaded, how to fix this? Then I can check if it worked with the Sky Map program.
Oh, and if not, how do I remove that file via terminal?
EDIT: Damn, can't get the apps to work again my whole phone seems broken now. I even can't install new apps :S
EDIT2: Just checked my SD card, it is still working good at my PC, but not in my phone. At once the phone can't read SD cards... Please, does somebody a solution?
It sounds like you wiped ext through recovery. Search on how to explore your sd card as root and see if your apps are there. You may need to reflash your rom unless you have a nandroid backup you can restore.

Nope I didn't do that, it was just a file in the CM Rom that was changed. The phone wasn't able to read the SD card, but the PC was and in recovery mode it could read it too... So I just flashed the CM Mod again and it's working now.
Problem is, my sensors still don't work Please does anyone has a solution, or a how-to on how to change the file?
Sorry you're having so much trouble with this, but it's beyond my scope of knowledge at this point. Hopefully someone else can check it out. If the Cyanogen IRC channel is still around you might be able to find help there.
Well I just got my cappy today. I decided to install froyo, I went with cognition.
So i rooted, installed Rom manager, backed up. Installed Titanium backup. Backed up everything i didn't knew what it was. Installed cognition.
After this when it loaded it keeps giving me this error constantly and lagging the phone. Since its my first android phone I'm not sure what to do. I didn't restored anything with Titanium, though I'm not sure if this program does this automatically...
I cleared user data and cache and the error persists.
I'm currently on Ubuntu on my pc so odin is not an option. So I want to have the phone working fast, preferrably with froyo, should i download another rom and reflash with rom manager? Any ideas on what I've done wrong or why the error is displayed?
I'm very thankfull for any sort of help, premature answers are more than welcomed
Either try to get odin to work with ubuntu... Wine?
Find someone with windows PC and odin.
Dual boot xp / 7 and do it yourself
First this is NOT the area for questions per se this is for DEVELOPMENT.
I suggest you try in the General or Q&A section or in this case the Cognition thread since that is the one having issues for you.
Without ODIN I cannot recommend anything so I suggest you try the Cognition thread amigo.
Regards
Just removed my simcard and the error stopped
Does this mean the phone is no longer unlocked?
I bought the phone unlocked so I'm not sure how to restore it to the way it was. Should the unlock code still be somewhere over my phone internal memory? Any quick ideas on how to do this? Or should i look into the whole unlocking post on froyo?

Check out this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778609. It involves setting up a VM(virtual machine) but that is a very easy task. I hope you find this helpful. But do not flash over Cog. You need to use Odin, flash back to stock, do a master clear and then re-flash Cog via CWM.
You prob's flashed Cognition right after the reboot forced by ClockworkRecovery, so the media scan wasn't completed, phone freaked and just lost most of its powarrrr.
Oh yeah: wrong subforum...
Sorry about the subforum btw

That sounds logic. Any ideas on what should I do so I can make the phone stop giving me this error with my simcard inside?
btw i dont know if this has anything to do but with my simcard inside i noticed 2 things
First it gets gsm signal crashes, looses the signal, regains it and this loops over and over.
After this i also noticed one service restarts over and over when this happens

This happened to me once, so I went back into recovery and used CM to reflash. My files were still on the root of the internal SD card, so I figured I'd give it a shot. It worked for me - cleared up my FC problems.

Select reinstall - hopefully it will launch the CM recovery mode. Then you can select to install from the SD card.
Just reinstalled cognition but it still has the same problem. Should i download the i9000 reoriented and try with that one to see if by any chance...?
Did you try reflashing with sim card out? Maybe a master clear would help too?
Yes the last time i tried with the simcard out. I'm guessing the phone is still unlocked, a master clear woudn't change this? If anyone can confirm this I'll try it asap.
I'm downloading as well Doc's rom 7.5 to try reflashing that instead, I can do that or I have to downgrade and then reflash?

I had the same problem, so I reflashed to factory /w Odin and made sure to wipe cache and data, and it worked without a hitch.

I think the problem could be that your unlock code was deleted. When you flashed. If you can not use odin try this, find the jh7 ota update. I think you can get it from the cognition download page. Flash this it will bring you back to a 2. 1 Rom. Read up on how to unlock your phone. Unlock then copy the unlock code. Then flash cognition again and follow steps to unlock.
If you are on the newest cog make sure you disable the voodoo lagfix prior to flashing. I can not guarantee this will work but it is worth a go. If you created a nandroid prior to flashing once you are on jh7 you should be able to restore

Firstly guys, I'd like to apologise for this being my first post. I'm usually a regular over at the SGS forums but am yet to have had a response. I'm ****ting bricks currently, so here goes...
ARGH wtf. Just as I thought I had the perfect phone, it messes up! Darky's ROM went mad on me. Kept rebooting the phone. Kept vibrating throughout. No idea what's wrong with it. Tried to do a wipe install of the ROM again, but the bloody thing has disappeared from the SD card! What am I going to do now? Reflash back to my previous firmware and start all over again, AGAIN? Ffs.
Just for the record, I'm basically stuck in recovery mode. It's either that or staring at the Nexus S logo as it attempts to boot, over and over and over... I'm so angry right now! I didn't do anything to the phone for this to happen! Bad luck or what. Really hope there is a solution to this. I don't suppose there's anyway of accessing the device's SD memory when in recovery mode? I just need to plant the update.zip on the SD card again so I can reflash it!

I would massively massively appreciate any help you guys could give me. I've had nothing but bad luck with my Galaxy S

Hi
I'm also new here and got my SGS yesterday, but i had a HTC Desire before.
If you can get in to Clockworkmod recovery you should be able to push the file via adb to the sdcard. That was possible on the Desire at least.

Just flash back to eclair again. The time it took you to get an answer on a forum is longer tham the time it takes to flash.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I'm guessing you screwed up without diabling lagfixes or something, just install JM8 with repartition enabled and using pit 512 file again then install clockwork update.zip then install whatever rom (but in this case darkys). It starts to become habbit when testing new roms to do all of them steps, The first time something happens you **** bricks but soon relize the SGS is alot more brick poof then you think (unless you are one of the poor souls with broken recovery modes)
But anyways, calm the hell down. Everything is fine.

I've absolutely no idea what files to flash... I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to flashing with the SGS. Quite embarrassing actually because I used to flash my old Omnia HD with no problems whatsoever! Don't suppose you could link to files.
Don't worry, your Galaxy is not bricked. Please see here how to reflash from a PC.
I've downloaded all necessary files... I've got a CODE a MODEM the 512.pit but no CSC? Am I okay to flash with no CSC?

CSC contains all carrier-related (like APNs) data.
Depending on the type of packaging some CODE files are complete with CSC.
In any case, you can flash a CSC (like ITV or XEU) even later.
Before to go with flash, I'd like to advise you to backup /efs folder on your SD and/or your PC. This is the only folder with information (like your IMEI configuration) that cannot be recovered in case of a total data loss.
After a long gruelling process of flashing and reflashing, I'm back on Darky's ROM. Problem though - App market is messed up. I can't download anything from the Market and it's also the 'old' Market theme... I think has something to do with the fact that I've flashed from Eclair straight to Darky's? (Which I was advised to do...) - How can I get my Market working again?! Everything is fine besides that!
[EDIT] I now have the new market interface but still cannot download a thing!
Whether rom&kernel i've tried (darky, tweaky, hawkish, extraordinary roms, semaphore, darky, cf root kernels) my phone always freezes anytime, anywhere. When i open a game sometimes it freezes in the loading screen, sometimes doesn't freeze. Sometimes when writing sms, sometimes killing tasks, everytime and everytime! I'm tired of this problem and it started to make me so angry! Please help if you have any suggestion.
There are two other posts in this sections that sounds like the exact same problem. Have you read them? Should be within the first 2 pages...
Edit: Ok just re-read, its similar, but still see if there are any solutions there that you haven't tried
Also are you restoring backups? If you don't restore them, does it still happen? Have you tried stock? Have you repartitioned? Have you cleared cache, dalvik cache. Factory reset after rom update? Turned lagfix off when flashing? Used odin to flash....
Need answers to these questions to help further... Always give as much detail as possible to enable us to help you in the most efficient way.

Need answers to these questions to help further... Always give as much detail as possible to enable us to help you in the most efficient way.

Thanks for your answer. Yes not at all but i've tried and read the other posts but they don't look like my problem but i exactly want to know what's causing this and suggestions, it makes me think if i have a hardware problem maybe, or what may be causing this and want to solve that problem forever, if it goes on i'll change my loved phone cause of this
Yes, i'm restoring backups using titanium backup, but without installing backups, it's the same, freezes, i didn't try stock and i don't wanna try i didn't repartiton, i cleared every kind of caches, factory resetted after update, turned off lagfix, didn't try odin

Well then from those answers i think its obvious what im going to suggest
Try an odin install Darkyrom 10.2RE people say always works.. and is reliable. Ive used it myself. And I suggest repartition. This is because it gives you the freshest install like it is brand new. If it happens then as well, then you need to flash stock, again with repartition via odin, for the same reason and because you need to identify the problem. If you have problem with stock then it is most likely a hardware issue.
In terms of backup, do not do batch backups as this sometimes causes conflicts, instead select each app you want and pick backup, then restore only data. Market apps you have downloaded can be logged using "app list" from the market. Use this to pick which apps you want to restore and it will take you straight to them, obviously after you download that app from the market again.
Also backup you internal sd card on you computer (drag and drop) and then restore only what is needed. Titanium backup should be kept on exsd in my opinion, and you can move the default folder there via settings.
Darky10.2RE You only need to do the odin install the second install is if you want all the apps, but again this can be configured using the darkyrom app, if you miss anything go to the last tab in the app after flashing and it will be there for you to pick out.
Things that can are unlikely to be an issue- is your imei the same? Do you have the correct csc code?

So much thanks for your answers and suggestions, but i don't want to use darkyrom i want to use s2 ported roms what should i do
Find them, under android development, its one of the pinned threads...2.3.4 roms or something. This is to identify the issue but as you wish, if you still have problems then maybe try darky then, or go to stock..

Hi, I f_cked up.
Firstly, I've spent a few hours looking around the internet (including this forum) for answers but I can't find any so sorry if this has been answered (but I doubt it, I f_cked up pretty well).
My biggest issue at the moment is that, whenever I try and start my phone I get the error: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" and I'm stuck in a constant cycle of restarts, unless I take my battery out. There is also other problems, but I'll tell you how I kept screwing up my phone.
So, I got my new phone, rooted it, all good. I deleted a bunch of system files I didn't need (not com.android.phone). I then decided I wanted the LWP Picker and a few other stupid little things back just to mess around with them, but for some reason the backups in RootUninstaller weren't working so I went looking for the APK's instead, none of which installed correctly.
Since my phone was pretty new and didn't have much data or apps on it anyway, I decided I'll reset it, without making a backup of course. Only problem is, once it deleted all my apps, it also deleted my Google Keyboard (der) which is no problem, except I f_cking deleted the Samsung Keyboard with RootUninstaller, so, errr, I couldn't do anything - including connecting to wifi or logging into my google account - oops.
So what do I do? I'll flash the ROM. I basically followed the instructions on a "theunlockr" website /2013/09/17/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-image-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-active/ - it's a .com and couldn't post direct links 'cause I'm new. No, I didn't do a custom.
So, basically, yes, I'm screwed. Can anyone help? Very urgent problem.
PS: Sorry if this thread seems rushed... it is.
Since I haven't really gotten a reply, I think I might have a unique problem. Does anybody at least have a nandroid backup or some other way to return the active to it's original form? Thanks again !
Have you tried Odin?

I'm a bit of a noob at this (hence the problem). I used Odin to root the device and also to put CWM on it, but I don't know if I can use Odin in any other way? I also used tried to follow this thread /showthread.php?t=2395242 but the ROM wont transfer to my SD Card for some reason so I can't flash it using CWM. Any other suggestions? Trying to find another Micro SD Card I can use, but is there anything else i could do?
FIXED!!!
So basically, my phone is now in a working state again! I follow the CyanogenMod 10.2 (the thread I put above) after buying a new SD Card and it's working great so far! While I didn't really get much help in this thread, it was this forum that saved my arse so thanks! Hopefully I'll hang around a bit more
