[Q] All of a sudden random apps force closing for no apparent reason [i9000]

Hey,
this problem started only today and has never happened before. The only things changing were some app updates and a few new installs. I already uninstalled all of the apps installed in the last few days in hopes of reverting the situation but it didn't help. And after I made the first reboot when the apps began to force close randomly it looked like a semi factory reset was made. All my contacts are gone, there are no SMS/call logs, but all SMSes, pictures and videos are still there. If I try to open the Market app it asks me if I accept TOS, Gmail is not set, mobile internet is not working (due to reset settings), Wi-Fi and bluetooth settings are still there. In short, everything is half-fuc*ed.
What do you thing happened? And is there any possibility I can go back to a normal state without starting from fresh?

Go into Recovery and Fix Permissions, then reboot and see if that has fixed the problem.

Flash a new stock rom to solve this issue..

Oh yeah, and another thing. Market, Youtube and Maps apps where all a few version lower than before and started updating immediately after opening the Market app. Market still is (even the old design and everything). How can this be?

I'm trying to avoid that at the moment. Just for the time being so I can make a complete backup of all my stuff.

i9000 random loss of data
Yes, this is a rather old thread I'm trying to revive here, but as it is adviced to continue those instread of duplicating them, here are my issues:
I gave my i9000 to a relative ~a year ago and recently it started acting strange. About 1-2 times a month I get a call from that relative saying: "I get a lot of force closes, phone is unusable, nothing works". I then walk over, take a look and yes, unusable. It appears that all information in the /system partition gets lost for no reason. The relative told me that this usually happens when some google apps are updating, but it might still be random.
Currently MackayRom (latest) is installed.
Usually when I got the call, I hopped over to my relative, did a factory reset (wipe of /system and /data + Cache and Dalvik Cache) then reflashed the ROM and Gapps and everything looked good again. Sadly the issue continues to return.
What I tried so far is a complete wipe of anything, reverting to a stock TW Rom, and going back to an AOSP Rom from there (first CM 11, then Mackay). The issue appeard to be gone afterwards, I didn't hear from that relative for an unusual amount of time, but after a month or 1 1/2, it returned.
My guess is, that one of the chips that are containing the /system partition is broken or at least close to die (I'm not sure if it is just one or multiple chips, since the CM Team or Pawit himself changed something in the partition structure somewhere between cm10, cm10.1 and cm11 to ensure the compatibility of that old device with KitKat). Anyways, I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this issue (although I reached a point where I think that solving this isn't possible anymore, unless I wanna swap the Mainboard, which would mean paying an amount of money that I could get a new phone for as well.) Soon as I have the time, I'll Odin-flash the latest TW Rom to the device and have my relative use that for a while, just to see if the different/older partition structure helps in any way.
Thanks in advance for any replies .

You can perform full reset by pressing the following code in sequence;

Questions belong in Q&A.

I did the factory wipe and and now all is fine again thanks peeps

Well, i thought it was ok, but its still doing it, why does the wifi wake up the screen?
As far as i can tell it only does it when attached to a power source, i.e. AC or USB
I have the same apps installed as per the original firmaware and it was fine....

After ICS update GPS has taken long time to fix first time and only it has locked at outside in open sky. After that GPS working good. only it is taking 10 seconds to fix even inside the building.

When you downgraded you should have cleared cache and dalvik the factory reset on GB...
Go with Baz's suggestion, should get you up and running...

Go back to gb
Then only.wipe cache n data, it will b alright, your note shud not bricked.
Wat i am surpised is why ddlc1 have wiped your data?
Can you give me detail how you have flashed it?
This.is.wat i said in evening. I.clearly.wrote first.downgrade n thwn wipe.read below which i have copied from that thread
"@coolcris
There is no need to go to abyss, as you are downgrading to GB, so first downgrade then wipe is enough
@OP
Downgrade/Flashing won't harm your device
Find 1st link on my signature. and select GB ROM to download and simply flash it with PC Odin, everything is mentioned there. Read it completely and still you have any doubt post your quuery."
Ps: sometime i surprise how much you newbies are lazy.
- I said just find gb rom from first link on my signature, you back within few min you cudn't find gb rom. Have you read even first five line of op? I alrwady wrote there gb rom is in post 2 n 3
Now have you read at least single post (installation guide)?
I have clearly mentioned in installation guide, fc n crash is common when switching from ics to gb, just wiping will solve it.
Guys Why you have so hurry ?
Really frustrating .i have spared lots of hrs to make that thread perfact, but you guys hav no time to read even you are flashing first time on your device.

i have not wiped it or formated it....but during downgrading it to 2.3.6 through odin...it automatically shows that my data is wiped....but later i checked and my data have not wiped.....the problem which i was facing was due to my data....i have formatted my note and m able now to run it smoothly.....

Ya i was surprised, b'coz it shud not wiped by flashing lc1.
Anyway your issue was common and i have said.earlier it shud not bricked. You need was just wiping. Anyway you got it back running.
But really keep it habit to read two times before flashing,modding till you get used to it.

Help...My note just completely died (sgn 7000)

Was running RRv1 JB, woke up to a screen asking a question in german, no idea what it was. i rebooted and went into a "samsung galaxy note" boot loop. Rebooted recovery, and tried to dirty install RRv1 over the existing version, wiped davlik and cache partition first and then midway though the install my phone went black, never to show a flicker of light ever again.
It was at 100% charge when this all started, i tried replacing the battery with a spare...nothing. It doesnt seem to want to take a charge and there seems to be nothing I can do to get even a spark of life here.
thoughts? (help!)
Jason

U should have done full wipe, data, cache and dalvik all. Try doing it now if you can enter recovery...

I can't, the phone seems dead. I'm hoping for some insights in regards to that
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

So my note is still dead, it won't charge...nothing.
I have a new sgn2 New but it's still like to get the note1 working again. What would you do if you were me at this point, Samsung tech support?

no recovery, then I dont know. Did you flash a non n7000 rom on phone?
If you do have recovery, old known issue, perform the wipes on save kernel and reinstall rom should fix it.
Best go to different rom and or use Phills kernel with the fix included.
That should do it, all at own risk

I have no power, it won't take a charge, it won't turn on even when I put a fully charged battery in it.
I'm asking if anyone knows of a list of things to do when your phone is in this condition. Are there certain things to check by taking the phone apart, I'd there anything I might be able to do, or must I send it away to Samsung?

I think so, I have no experience here.
I think you flashed a non n7000 rom. Search on how people fixed that

I was curious cause I never heard of that , and some people said a factory reset solved the problem . However a fresh Odin install is good. Did you wipe system as well as the normal wipes?

Yikes. I didn't even see a ton of info on the subject. I can't imagine there is anything left on the device to cause any issues. Hopefully someone with more knowledge about this sees this post. Note 7 release party Aug 2nd if it comes to that!

same issue i see alot of people with it, its the emmc i confirmed it beause yesterday while i was alseep my emmc decided to give up on life no recovery no download failed to read emmc, the problem is repairing it im not gonna take it to samsung as they will charge almost the price of a new phone i have found a chip for it but it says it has sm n910p/f firmware on it not sure if it would be an issue as i could reflash the tmobile firmware on it.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bran...2630152207.html?spm=2114.40010708.4.13.nPWCQ2
any advice on the chip?

So, what was the final solution?
