what will happend if i backup my things in the reccovory mode option and restore them after that? anyway to do this without reseting ?
Do a backup and after that wipe everything and flash the rom again. Reboot and wait until it boots up and let it sit for 5 minutes for it to load everything. Then reboot into recovery and choose advanced restore and just restore the data. Or just the apps, I forget how the actual files are named but just choose the one where the apps are. Don't restore everything cuz the lock will restore along with it.
Try this and report back..

ok this is what i did:
1) wipe
2 restore only data ( which included a sub folder called data/data) , but screenlock restored back with it
3 so i wiped again
4 did the full restore and i was watching what was restoring and i noticed that apps were in system and data, but not data/data
5 so i wiped data/data after that and everything was ok with the screenlcok
6 next thing i noticed (actually i noticed it exactly when i unlocked the phone almost all of my apps had the problem for example "Facebook had stopped working" and i have close and report or something like taht like options under it.
But nevermind i found an old titanuim backup with like 90% of my apps so i will wipe and restore
My other question is has anyone used the PIN lock on 2.3.4 because when i tried to set up a new PIN screenlock i was very careful when entering the numbers and it failed again .. so wiped and tried one more time with no success. So anyone had a Working PIN screen lock on 2.3.4?
Hi,
I am having darky rom - dont remember which version right now but also 2.3.4
and my PIN screenlock is also not working! Tried it some times now and the phone never seems to remember the PIN.
Anyhow i got my gnex in the meantime and my old SGS is still locked so I had a look today in the forum as I was cleaning up my shelves and found my old SGS (still locked) again and thought maybe there are some new infos on that topic they unfortunately not..
so still no PIN screenlock-recovery possible something with gmail unlock or so?

After recieving my 2nd phone for the random shut down problems,i flashed 2.3v6 and every thing went well untill i re-installed sim card and now it force closes with message "com.android.phone".I flashed back to stock and re flashed cognition---still the same problem.It works well at stock.Just to the left of the serial # is "1006". This must be an old exchange phone i got.
I used lag fix and rom manager for flashing, I have tried every thing i know and cant get it right
Any ideas would be great
Did you unlock your phone, are you using a non at &t sim?
Are you restoring using titanium backup? If do what are you restoring?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I think had the same problem the first time I installed cognition. The phone kept vibrating and giving an fc error. There was a service that was restarted every time this happened and every time com.android.phone crashed i lost the signal. This happened arround 2/3 times per minute...
I wiped all user data from cwm as someone suggested and the problem was gone. You may want to give that a try. Remember it wipes your data, though probably u have everything backed up by now...

You made my life real easy,wiping the data did the trick THANK YOU
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!!
Hi,
I am a rather experienced user when it comes to flashing/using odin and I had successfully updated to JVK from JV1 and had been using it for a few days. I decided I wanted to use a ROM now, so I went to http://romkitchen.org/beta/ and downloaded a no-wipe rom. I was already rooted but needed CWM so I flashed the new version of CF-Root. Everything worked fine so I used CWM to flash the rom. It started an endless boot cycle (Just the galaxy s i9000 words over and over again) so I decided to just repartition and flash JVK with Odin again as I had a backup and wouldn't lose anything. That worked normally but once the phone started restarting (before it got to any boot image) it went to a password entry box. These were the exact same files that I had used to to flash gingerbread before and I have never had this happen to me before. The only physical button that does anything is the menu button which dims the screen. Pulling out the battery/restarting/reflashing JVK or JV1 doesn't help. Froyo (JS5) does work though so I am using that now. I have tried 3 different versions of Odin, going to JV1 then JVK, different .pit downloads, bootloader and non bootloader version of JVK, none of them make a difference, always the password. I have tried all my passwords, and none of them work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
I have the same problem. Tried a lot of variants without any luck. Currently running JPU instead.
I've started to wonder if the phone is actually asking for a unlock code, as if the phone was locked to specific operator. But anyway there is a digit code you can check if your phone is locked, and mine is not.
Please anyone know how to work around this and what is causing this password prompt?
Rooting or putting a modded kernel on jvk does not help either, still asks for password.
First of all try 'samfirmware.com' as the password, may be a long shot but maybe the rom originally came from there.
if that doesnt work, i would send doc or stefunel a PM (or check thread) incase some one else has had this issue, they may no the password considering it was downloaded from their kitchen.
Tried that before, didn't work. It's not their rom anymore, just the stock JVK.
Did you try some common pre-set passwords on electronic devices like '0000' or '1234' ? Maybe this is just something like on a dvb receiver...
Sounds unlikely but since you've tried the 'normal' ways...
very strange. Try Samsung , Gingerbread , 0000 , 1234 , I don't know anything else .
BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
no idea if it will even work

FIX for anyone having "Confirm Password" issue on Boot:-
1) Just enter some wrong password multiple times
2) Then a Warning message will appear telling you it will remove all SD Card data
3) Type something wrong again!
4) Let the SD Card get wiped.
5) Then the system will bootup properly next time.
I just did one more *2767*3855# Full wipe after bootup.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!! It worked! Now to install Darkys Rom.
It works
Thanks Pagot, that worked and didn't erase my internal SD card (I have no external one).
just enter many wrong password it'll no erase your internal or externe sd card
Tested on JVO
It Works
Had installed deodexed JVP(2.3.4) via CWM, decided to reset and erase the internal SD card. Got the dreaded confirm password on boot, typed in the wrong password multiple times, the phone rebooted, internal SD card was formatted.
Could that be the encryption password!!???
I was testing my device against a MDM (Mobile device management) system called Afaria, where I work and have enabled encryption in the policy applied to the device. When I got the enter password dialog box I entered the encryption password and the device accepted the password...
this saved my life ahah
works fine with 2.3.5 too
thanks
Very helpful thank you. Worked for me on my Infuse. Took about thirty tries and waiting through about 4-5 30 second timeouts for incorrect password but finally said it would wipe data in accordance with security policy and bam back up running Entropy's DD deodexed and rooted. Thanks fellas. You guys sure helped a noob out.

Thought to update:
Worked for me too - happened every now and then on my lost EFS'ed i9000, as I was trying to install different roms.
Entering it wrong enough times wiped the sd card (that I could careless about)
Cheers!
hi there
getting straight to the problem : i got my sgs (international I9000) 3 months ago and tried to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 but failed many times. then i accidently flashed a vibrant rom (eugene one) in my phone and i couldn't get to dl or recovery mode so i gave it to a local store here that helped me get back to stock 2.1 but i didn't know how he did it .. probably with a jig
everything went fine and i was able to enter both modes but then NUMEROUS force closes appears whenever i open most of apps (google apps and other 3rd party apps but others like massege, phone, contacts, players works fine), can't delete or put anything in the sd card . I tried to fix it with flashing to another stock roms i even tried 2.3 , the flashes were ok but force closes kept coming. I also tried wipe data and factory reset from recovery but to no avail. also when i change settings, delete files, etc .. and then reboot everything goes back to how it was before i did the change
i read many threads that my phone internal might be corrupted from all this @*&* and i thought i would ask here before sending it to samsung hoping i would find a solution here
regards and sorry for bad english

I flashed a vibrant and captivate rom on the first day i got my SGS and promptly soft bricked it.
Was able to get it back and running though, no force closes.
I suggest backing up all your phone internal data SD data (On your computer) etc. And send it to Samsung and just replace all the data afterwards.
I'm not experience enough to aid you (Sorry) and and the problems are a little ambiguous.
Hope i have helped. Good luck getting your phone back and running again
Dear, all
first of all, sorry for my bad english...
I have my galaxy s3 mini for a few months (i bought it on august 2013), a week ago my HH had a notification that a new ugrade available. So i tap OK, and the phone downloaded the upgrade (195 MB, if i remember correctly). When the phone succesfully updated, i check the system. I noticed that the baseband version was upgraded from i8190DXAMA2 to i8190DXAMJ1. A few days later, my phone started acting wierd. All the system apps start to crash a lot. One day the messaging dan contact app not responding, and i had to force close and reboot the phone. The other day was clock app crashing, and i had to reboot the phone.
Does anyone have same problem like me? How can i fix this? I tried to clear app data, but that didn't work. Reboot is the only way to fix this problem. And i don't want to reboot the phone every day or two. If i want to downgrade my baseband version to original, how can i do that?
and oh, my phone is not rooted. Still using stock ROM.
thanks
I'm guessing you didn't do a factory data reset after update?
Reinstall firmware using kies, after it's done, turn on the phone, do a factory reset and then setup it as you would with new phone.
Optionaly you can make a backup with KIES before the upper ster, and after doing a factory reset, restore the backup. Or just copy/paste stuff you need (music, picture, etc)
