Hello,
I have a SGS I9000 Gt from France I think.
Everything was running good. I installed a bunch of apps when I first got the phone, checking stuff out. After playing with it for a few months I now have a good idea of what apps I would like to keep.
I decided to do a factory reset so I could start fresh when froyo does come out.
I performed three button recovery and did factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Problem is when I reboot I constantly receive "The process "blank" has stopped unexpectedly. please try agian." message, and I hit force close and it just pops right back up. TwLauncher, Daily briefing, acore, and a google one.
I did notice that in the recovery mode menu I get some red text saying "multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/XEF/system/" But when I go through the steps to reset and clear cache, it does it and gives me a message "wipe complete"
I removed battery and sim card No sd, and tried again with no luck, every time I boot now same thing, apps keep crashing.
I hope that makes sense I don't really know what to do.
So yea any help would be great!
Thank you so much for your time.
I almost have the same problem here.
I updated the firmware with Kies, using the default firware that was found by Kies.
I guess it has to be a custom made ROM made by/for my phone service provider (Bouygues, a French company).
Upon restarting, I get the same pop-up messages. Cannot close them fast enough to use anything. My phone is not usable, though not bricked.
Ps : formerly running off-the-factory custom Bouygues rom. Rooted and using OCLF or something lag fix.
I solved at least MY problem :
Do a factory reset and wipe cache AND user data. Simple as that
The answer was actually in the [Warning!!!] Do not flash... thread. I should slap myself for not looking into it first.
Hope it solves your problem too.
Thanks for the help, but how do you how did you wipe user data? Maybe I am blind but I don't see it?
I think I did that when I did the factory reset. When I do boot up however, my original unlock pattern is still set...so I don't know wtf is going on.
FIXED!!
I used Kies Registry Patcher v.1.6.0.0
then reset user data and cache WORKS GREAT AND I HAVE FROYO NOW!!
Hello all,
please forgive me first of all because I've had very little sleep due to this issue. And its a long thread, but more detail is better generally I believe.
First, some background, and unfortunately, it starts with my wifes phone.
My wife has a Galaxy S GT-i9000 on Orange in the UK. She has had it, probably about a year maybe at most. She has a few apps that she has downloaded but nothing major and on first looks when I got it nothing I expect would cause this issue, just facebook etc.
My wife came home and said, my phone keeps coming up with a message saying force close. Ahh, I thought, some apps gone nuts, but alas, it appeared to be many apps including Maps, Google Upload (I assume this is a system process), Facebook Katana and many more, probably about 20 Force Close messages pop up one after the other and it lags whilst trying.
Odd, I thought, I also noticed the icon for one of the apps on her homescreen had changed to the default White and Green one with the android on it.
I suspected something had gone wrong (obviously), I asked if she had rebooted it and she said she had. So, I rebooted it again, just incase. Same problem.
I then thought it might need an update, it was running official Kies 2.3.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I forget) so I plugged it into my netbook and ran Kies, had to update that as it didn't have the latest application update. I then started the firmware update, after backing up the phone using Kies.
Halfway through the update, Kies popped up a message saying something went wrong and that I had to unplug the phone, take out the battery and reboot. Odd, I thought as the phone was telling me to not doing anything. I waited a minute, nothing further happened, so I did this. Then I got the Black Screen of Death with the phone, the dots and the computer screen.
Crap!!! I thought, I managed to get into Download mode, and reflash it using what I believe was an official ROM using Odin. I then rebooted, and found that it STILL had the data on it and it STILL was doing the force close. At least I had it back to "working" though so I was mildly happy.
I then did a factory reset using the menu system, erased the USB storage (there is no external SD card in her phone) and rebooted, still force closing but prompting me to setup again. Weird. I went through the setup slowly, as every second or so a force close would popup, then when I completed the setup (which still had the wifi settings, account settings etc in it) the System Setup crashed with Force Close. I then rebooted and got to the Home Screen, but still crashing.
I rebooted and used the recovery screen to clear the cache and factory reset, despite the warnings I will lose everything, nothing was wiped.
I tried to update using Kies again but it tells me that the firmware/device is not supported. I am now trying to see if I can use Odin to install a Kies supported firmware. So that I can then try an update using that again.
Anyone got any suggestions, at present, my thoughts are, I was going well within the realms of warranty up until I reflashed it using Odin to try and get back in as I'd only used Kies to update and the issue "just started happening" without my missus doing anything.
There are no signs of damage on the phone and she tells me it was just sat on her desk all day.
So, my question is, what now? I'm of the opinion based on the above that if I can't reflash a warranty supported Kies update, then maybe a custom ROM will be worth a shot to see if its a hardware failure or if its software. I just have never had an issue like this with my HTC Desire and I've ran many custom ROMs and standard ROMs on it.
I do have the .tmp file of the update Kies downloaded, and I also have a Binary folder which has some file inside a couple more folders but its not a .tar or a .zip because when I try renaming it (after a copy) it won't open.
So, suggestions on a postcard, thanks if you got this far through this nightmare. All help massively appreciated.
Edit: it appears to be the same issue as this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822238
I'll try some of their suggestions. Today I also did the *2767*3855# today which I found after a bit more searching. Same problem after a reboot. Force close and data still there.
I've tried and tried again to do various solutions for this, I've even ran a logcat using adb to see if I can see the problem. I suspect its a Dalvik Cache issue in that its unable to write to it for some weird reason.
I've downgraded it to Froyo following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100906
It now detects in Kies and offers me a firmware upgrade. I suspect it will die again though if I try due to this Dalvik problem.
Wiping cache does not wipe the cache. Everything still appears to be there on reboot as mentioned above.
Here is a copy of the LogCat with Java errors all over it: http://leenukes.co.uk/downloads/logcat1.txt (its quite long)
I guess nobody knows. Today I will speak to Orange to try and get it fixed or replaced.

We've been told it is beyond repair. We will see what they say when we go back into the shop. Its still in warranty so I don't see why they won't replace it.

I have a friend with a Galaxy S from Orange Romania and suddenly the phone kept showing Force Close on every App. He had 2.2.1 if I remember right. He whent with the phone to an Orange Shop and they only do a factory reset but data was not wiped.
So what i have done for him:
- start the phone in Download Mode
- start Odin with repartition check and XXJVT (2.3.5) firmware with 3 files (code, phone and CSC) + pit file .512
- after reflashing the phone does have all tha data, so i resarted in Recovery Mode and done a Factory Reset and a Cache Wipe
- i flashed Speedmonde Kernel k16.10 and do again from Recovery Mode a Factory Reset, Cache Wipe and Davlick Wipe.
On reboot the phone was CLEAN. No force closes for a week now.
Sorry for my English hope it helps!

Sound advice there mate, other thing I would have done is in recovery mode before the ODIN flash I would have format sdcard, making sure you have removed BOTH the external sd and the sim card, as it can wipe them as well.Then flash through ODIN as per instructions above.
Using JVT I would flash either speedmod or semaphore 2.1.1 which I personally use.
Happy flashing!!
turns out it was water damage and some parts corroded.
Its going to be claimed for on insurance.

Hello all,
the phone came back from repair yesterday, yay!
the phone now however, doesn't appear to lock onto a mobile signal for very long. Boooo!!!
After sending off for repair using insurance, we got the phone back yesterday but it now appears to be broke in another way. It won't lock on to a mobile signal, wireless is fine but data network and sometimes just mobile signal is patchy and keeps dropping.
I've just reset it to factory defaults, same problem. What I did notice, which is odd is that since it came back from repair, its now unlocked and I can put another networks SIM card in it, same issue there too so I know its the phone now.
I'm going to scour the forums to see if anyone else had/has issues like this, it is running the latest firmware now and a full wipe really did fully wipe it this time, as opposed to last time with its issues due to water damage. One step forward, two steps back?
Its going back to the insurance company. Especially as Orange were suggesting that we pay £70 for a new handset.
Absolute fool I had on support today, yesterday I at least had someone sensible.

Sounds like a modem issue, where the techs at Orange put in the wrong modem for your firmware. I did the same thing when I upgraded from Froyo to Gingerbread.
Alternately, it could be a broken external antenna connection as a result of the corrosion from the water damage. Google "no signal fix" and look for a site that ends in .uk
Just a thought for others who come across this problem.
I
Sorry, I know this is beaten to death. With all the SD card issues that this phone had, it's not easy to search.
Running CM7 for almost a year now and happy. Starting to get constant Force Closes. Tapatalk, Youtube, Outlook calender....things that I would guess are memory intensive. Having a hard time even launching a YouTube video these days without force close.
Wondering if the SD is dying and it's time to go get a Nexus?
Cheers.
Of all the SD card failure cases I've seen over the forums for the Bell Vibrant, most of them result in a sudden irreparable boot loop out of nowhere (happened to me the same way). If I were you, I'd make a backup in CWM, save it on your computer, and just wipe and format everything on your phone so you can flash on a clean system for test running to see if you still get FCs. If so, then something is probably wrong with your hardware, if not, then I guess your SGS is still good to go
I've tried searching on this issue as well, but there is too much info on it.
Does anyone know from what point the issue was fixed on new phones? (i.e. phones manufactured after X date should not see the SD failure issue)
I think it was the froyo build "JL2 " that had a bootloader update that fixed the problem. I got mine on release day and have had no issues.
Sent from my GT - I9000M running Team Hacksung's ICS build 12
Well, flashed team hacksung ICS, and force closes continue.
Don't know if that is unstable ROM or dying phone. I'll report if the sd does die.
Try reverting back to stock. Clear cache, Dalvik, Data.
I was one of the unlucky one with the SD Card failure. The failure happens very quickly. Became unusable very fast. I tried to reboot but it went into bootloop because it could no longer reach the SD card anymore.
Your FC are most probably due to a some bugs and your phone need to restart fresh.
Hi all, love this forum but dont post often.
Heres the problem: My HTC One m7 (international version) is acting strange:
* Sometimes when I turn on the display I have to enter my sim pin, as if it had rebooted itself, only I know it hasnt. It also happens regurarly when Im using the phone *poff* all of a sudden "enter sim pin".
* When switching from wifi to 3g/LTE it lags for minutes. It drops all connections, including regular gsm, and I have to enter sim pin maybe half the time I swith from wifi. Switching from 3g/LTE to wifi doesnt present the same issues.
* Its extremely laggy when these things happen, otherwise it works fine.
What I have tried so far:
* Old backup of Liquidsmooth 4.4. Works fine for a few days then these same problems starts occuring.
* Uninstalling apps. Thought I was onto something when I uninstalled SwiftKey and it worked perfectly for about 3 days! But then the problems came back...
* Tried other roms but I usually end up with the "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped" when the rom is up and fully booted. Its a loop that just continues (when pressing ok) so I cant do anything but reboot and try again. I tried probably 5 versions of Liquidsmooth but also Beanstalk and other aosp roms, even Lollipop versions (the liquidsmooth one worked but the same sim pin problems occurred). Havent tried any sense based roms. Also tried several versions of TWRP, official and unofficial. Still ends up with the com.android.systemui problem.
* Tried resetting permissions, wipe cache/dalvik and also wiped the entire sdcard. Used adb/flash to transfer new rom for installation.
So I'm basically out of ideas and pondering going back to stock and sending it in for repair, unless someone here has some tips since I'd rather try myself first.
Thanks for any help or input!

maybe your sim is faulty. try to get a new one from your provider. or it just has a bad contact in your phone.
about the lagging: did you try a clean flash? is your storage full? my phone gets pretty laggy when my storage is nearly full..
Hey thanks for your reply! However I dont think its the sim card, and as I mentioned I clean flashed several times with several twrp version and also twice with wiping all data on my sdcard...
Sorry if I can't offer a concrete solution, but I had similar issues (especially the first one, but also lag when switching networks) on my HOX+. Turns out it was the sim.
Try to test another sim before returning, and at least try a sense based rom. Since you say that it works without problem for a few days with Liquidsmooth 4.4, and then it starts breaking again, it may be rom (aosp?) related. But then again, it may be just random.
Hope you figure it out soon
Thanks akpe! I ordered a new sim card, if that doesnt help I suppose its something hardware related...
Well, the new sim card didnt help. My problem seem very similar to this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...rops-on-some-nexus-4-handsets-fixes-in-sight/
Basically my whole radio disconnects and restarts itself when turning off wifi. Reading that androidpolice thread leads me to thinking about flashing an earlier firmware, from 4.2.2. I have no idea which one, or if I can use the one in that thread or not.
Any suggestions? I'd appreciate it, googling for hours and reading catlogs for days isnt getting me anywhere..
HELP!
Hmm wasn't that a Google issue which got fixed by HTC in the latest OTA? Try a ROM which has the hotfix (like latest ViperOne, 7.0.2) and see if you still get this

Hi akpe! I took your advice and am now running ViperOne 7.0.2 and so far it WORKS! So it seems it was indeed that google bug. HUGE THANKS!
Is it possible to have the aosp lockscreen when at the same time using a pin? I can't seem to figure that out.
Thanks again!
Glad it worked
As for the lockscreen, no idea mate, I'm using the stock one :/ Ask around in the ViperOne thread, maybe someone there knows
Ok, thanks again!
Another thing I cant find is profiles? Need it to make whatsapp notification sound silent when listening to music..
i've been using the cm 13 night owl 4.2 beta on my SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GTn-7000 for like a week without any issues but recently my phone froze so i restarted after that im getting no sim card error. at first i thought its a bug but its still there.
things i tried
1. restarted (many time)
2. cleared caches, re-installed rom
3. thought might be problem with the sim so tried with outher simcards and problem still exists.
4. tried almost everything (haven't tried the stock rom)
hope you guys find me a quick fix, thank you

Go to your phone Settings >> About phone. Do you see the IMEI, baseband in there?
If no, your EFS file might be corrupted or deleted. If you didn't have a backup then you might wanna Google for help.
If yes, check your SIM slot and make sure the gold pins are all there.
