[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.

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?

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 .

Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Inch - Tons of issues. Need help!

The principal of out school turned in her Tab 7 inch, they no longer want to pay $60 a month for 3G thats slower then a 14.4 dial-up!
It was given to out Tech Department and I snagged it to play with.
OK first thing, it's FC'ing on various apps. I decided to factory restore the unit by booting into Samsung's recovery and wiping the data and and clearing the cache.
This reset it but our principals gmail is still on the phone. It's the primary account. I can NOT get it to delete.
I found a thread here with a official Samsung flashing tool. This one:
Sprint_Galaxy_Tab_EA24_Flasher.zip
It seems to have worked, it got the device back to EA24. However when I reboot, it's FC'ing even more and the principals gmail is still there.
Well, it now sees an update called: EB28
It downloads it then boots into recovery and nothing more happens. No option to update, flash etc.
Also now EVERY TIME I restart/reset this device its like it's been factory reset, all the apps I installed are GONE, my Wi-Fi is GONE, and it FC's like crazy.
Contracts done on this phone so Sprints not going to do anything. Help! I'd like to get Gingerbread on this.
Thanks!

Wow, no one has one of these or has any advice?

Some updates on things I've noticed.
Well, previous to my original post, I was STOCK, non-ROOTED. This morning I used Roddricks guides to flash to ROOT with CWM via Odin.
It seems to have worked OK, I have root and I'm on the stock ROOTED Gingerbread but I STILL had all the default Google accounts. I booted back into CWM and did a complete data wipe and installed CM7. That worked too however when I booted it immediately said NOOK had forced closed...? OK, well I ignored that and installed a couple .apk's I had on my memory card and changed my wallpaper. Then I rebooted into Recovery again and flashed the Google Apps. Upon rebooting I saw no google apps and my wallpaper and installed apps were GONE. I was back to stock CM like it was just installed.
Now keep in mind I had done a FULL wipe to everything in CWM prior to flashing CM7. I booted the device BACK to the download mode and used Odin to re-flash Roddricks stock ROOT and kernel.
Upon booting the phone I'm back to stock Gingerbread and guess what? The default Google account is BACK and so are the two pre-added wireless networks.
WHY IN THE HELL WON'T THIS THING WIPE and why does it keep resetting to just installed defaults when I reboot.
I see I am not the only person with this issue. Someone else made a thread just the other day saying their 7 inch Tab resets on reboot too.
Can someone give us some pointers? In my case I can install custom ROM's but I have to set everything back up EVERY TIME I reboot? Come on, that's not [email protected]#@[email protected]#$

Firstly, it sounds like you're not actually doing the right kind of wipe. You want factory reset / wipe. Either from recovery or within the stock firmware.
Once you successful do this, all downloaded apps and account settings will be gone.
Next up it seems you're not actually managing to install custom firmware. You'll need to specify more details about what you've done and read carefully what appears on screen and report on it if you want useful advice.

I've done the factory reset from stock firmware, I've done the factory reset from CWM 4 and 5.
I've manually wiped from adb using rm -R and rm -rf for /dbdata /system /cache /data, all of which appear to be wiped and then doing an "ls" reports the directors are GONE.
Then I flashed stock GB stock rom, booted up and guess what? My default gmail and wirless networks were STILL there.
Adb'ed back after a root'ed kernel and manually went into the folders and deleted EACH file, then backed out and deleted the folders. Rinse, wash and repeat with the ROM and guess what? default Googles still there along with the Wireless.
Also one thing to note is that with every one of these wipes, boots, flashes etc, lets say I setup the Tab and install a couple apps, add my wireless, change my wallpaper etc, when I reboot, it's ALL gone. The Tab's back to default fresh like I just flashed.
Spent like an hour with Rodderik in the #gtab channel trying to figure this out.

Ok. I believe you.
I still can't rationalize what is happening there. One thing you can trust about computers is they do what they are told. However, sometimes it's hard to understand what you've told then to do.
Kies knows how to restore user state. It's also somewhat evil in terms of still running when you've quit it. Make sure Kies is not running.

Is it possible some settings got backed up to the SD and are auto-restoring? Honestly haven't used my tab in a while so I'm not even sure this is an option. Maybe try clearing dalvik?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

sounds like somehow you may have a read only nand mode going on...strange haven't heard of this problem with the samsung its quite popular with the dell streak 7....in the dell streak 7 many people have to send it back to dell to repair it no other way... as for it on the samsung like i said never heard of the problem but if you can't reset properly or everything reverts to a state upon reboot then you may have whats called read only mode basically anything you install change add once you reboot the device it erases everything you did to it....from what i have read its a failsafe in linux try reading a few of the dell streak 7 problems with read only mode it may help in understanding and maybe finding a solution good luck. then again i may be wrong but just what you described sounds similar.

I would just load a new rom like overcome gbsafe_v5

LG-P925g GC and RIP fix Rogers

Hi everyone,
I finally might have figured out how to fix the ghost call issues and the reorginizing internal process problem... it has been 10 days that I have had no ghost calls and no RIP.
After many hours arguing with LG (who after all 12 calls still said they never heard of this problem before). The only advice they could offer me was to send my phone to repairs.
I decided to do a final attempt and if it didn't work I would have sent my phone in 3 times to get a different phone and end this nightmare.
So I did a factory reset on my phone.
The problem was still there.
I heard about keeping the CPU above 600mhz all the time and while that temporarily worked it came back.
I loaded the recovery mode and factory reset from there and I also cleared the cache. that didn't work.
After more research I found that putting the phone in 2g will help. While this was true it was still happening but a lot less.
I decided to explore the world of Roms and that's where the fix came in.
My phone is rooted. Big thank you to Dan 
I am running V20c 2.3.5
I Formatted my internal SD and my external.
I installed clockwork mod and backed up my stock rom... I then booted into recovery mode and cleared every cache option (2 on first screen and dalvik in advanced. The only exception was battery stats with CWM.
After doing all that, I had to leave so I figured I would look for a new rom another time. That was 15 days ago. After a week I realized that I haven't been getting the RIP or the GC problem... seeing as how it was hard to check I forwarded all my calls from my home office line to my cell phone so that if the call was not answered it would go to my cell after the 2nd ring. To this day (10 days later)... every call on that phone has been registered on my cell... therefore I believe that CWM IS THE KEY TO OUR PROBLEMS
*JUST NOTE THAT I SAVED MY SD CARD TO MY PC SO I HAD A EXTRA BACKUP SHOULD NEED BE.*
**WHEN I DID IT, I FORMATTED WITH CWM**
so after all that here's the process...
*WORKS ON V20C 2.3.5 ROGERS*
1. ROOT
2. FORMAT EVERYTHING (SETTINGS/STORAGE...)
3. VERIFY THAT YOU STILL HAVE ROOT (YOU SHOULD)
4. INSTALL CWM
5. BACKUP YOUR DEFAULT ROM (NEVER KNOW)
6. ENTER CLOCKWORK RECOVERY
7. CLEAR ALL CACHE EXCEPT BATTERY STATS (I DID NOT TOUCH ANY PARTITIONS OPTIONS)
8. GO BACK IN YOUR PHONE
9. DO NOT PUT BACK YOUR BACKUP ROM
***Remember this is working for me on Rogers V20c 2.3.5***
I made a titanium backup of all my Apps but I am not restoring them I am redownloading from scratch. I do not know if it will cause issues with the GC/RIP issues.
Good luck to all of you and I hope that you finally get to enjoy our cursed phones. I had RIP messages easily every 2 hours and for 15 days I haven't seen a single one and all my calls are working.
Thank you to Dan for Root and the Creator of CWM for saving us.

CWM isn't the issue. It's the baseband.
CWM is on a different partition than the baseband and is not active until it is called. Ghost calls still exist because 2.3.5 in general has this issue. 2.3.6 fixed ghost calls.

Never said that CWM was a problem I said CWM helped fix this issue
I posted this to help others who were looking for a solution it is still working for me so I'm happy and I figured id share my findings in hopes of helping others who got nothing to lose and everything to gain with this phone.
Have a good one.

Wait. You should remove the notices for BRICKING.
Reason being as it is only applicable to CyanogenMod. It has an option to use the sdcard for data instead. Stock doesn't.
Formatting sdcard and emmc in ClockworkMod will not and can not brick your device on a LG Firmware.
This, again, does not include CyanogenMod.
Now. As for fixing the problem, I've done this method and still have ghost calls.
You will ALMOST always get ghost calls with 2.3.5.

Hi Guys I was going off other information in other posts for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529836&page=2 talking about CWM and CyanogenMod.

I have also tried this, worked for 3 days then a GC

I assume this because all devices friends have ranging from Nexus to Samsung to HTC with 2.3.5 had ghost calls and when they updated to 2.3.6, ghost calls disappeared. They were on stock as well.

Some Roms just won't flash.

Hey,
I have a nexus, but my mate has the note. He is having all sorts of problems with it when it comes to flashing ROMs. I was hoping u smart people here might be able to help
What the problem is, is that only about one in 10 ROMs will install. He flashes the usual way... wipe everything, etc but either gets in a boot loop, or just Samsung comes up on the screen, it disappears and then comes back and this repeats. He has to then pull the battery. Another weird thing is that a ROM that may not have worked a few weeks ago, he tries it again and for some weird reason it works. So far he has never been able to flash an ICS ROM.
Any ideas? I've suggested to him to start completely afresh and use fast boot, etc again, but I'm no expert myself. I've never had any dramas myself with the nexus so this has me completely stumped....
Thanks

What method is he using to flash? If using pc Odin does the flash get stuck at factoryfs. Img?
Was he on ics stock and did he perform any factory resets on it?
If answers are yes, it's likely he's got traces of damage on his emmc chip, but we need to know where the flash is failing to understand further.

No and no.
His phone came with GB. He downloads the ROMs using his computer then transfers the zip to then flash using CWM recovery.
He has tried lots of different ROMs. He tried to install a new ROM the other day but before doing so he deleted a few ROMs he still had on the SD card. He flashed the new ROM and it didn't work. He freaked coz he didn't do a backup first, but he tried installed the ROMs that were still on the SD card and found them all but one to work, and the one that worked was a ROM that he had tried before but didn't work then, but this time it did work...
What is happening? Is there something he can do?

Try flashing rom with pc odin instead of cwm.
Check out Dr ketan sticky thread in rom development for directions on how to use pc odin. It's simple.

Need help on recent rooted+CM9 rom

Hi. I'm having a really big problem and a hard time trying to get my phone back to how it was. I was able to do a backup with CWM rom manager before i flashed to CM9. The reason why i want to go back to the ROM that came with my phone is because i'm not able to mount my SD card. I tried it in the recovery reboot menu. I mounted everything, then when it reboots, i go into settings and try to mount both the external SD and the internal SD card, The external one mounts, but i still can't see anything from it. And the internal never mounts.
So i did use the back up utility, and now when i go to restore, It says that the MD5 checksum aren't matching up or something. I'm also scared because it says that the battery is not charging. I've turned the phone off and am letting it charge now to see if it'll charge. But it was down to 11%, And i'm starting to get scared cause i might be without a phone. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
How can i wipe CM9 and go back to the ROM that came with my samsung 4g exhibit II when i got it? this is what it was before;
exhibit ii 4g
sgh-t679
android 2.3.6
kernel 2.6.35.7-perf (I didn't upgrade this)
build #: gingerbread uvle1
P.S. After i rooted it and flashed it into the root_kit. I then flashed it into "cm-9-20121125-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo". So this is the rom that's giving me the problem. I really hope someone understands what's going on and can help me. I just want to go back to how it was before. And 1 more thing. I can only browse the sd card through wondershare mobilego for android. All my files are still there, But i can't see them on the phone, Just through USB connection.
Thank you so much
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Go into cwm wipe system 3 times dalvic cache and so on, then restore, or you can just do a clean install of the ROM you wish.

Oh wait, Something good happened. I read somewhere else that i might have to format the internal sd card. I just did that and now i'm able to see my external sd card. all my music and pics are here. Hmmm, weird... now i'm going to try and backup the texts and logs that i saved from mobilego. but i still might want to go back to the factory rom because the screen was bigger.

I just can't flash the gapps .zip file. It says that it can't open and then it just says (bad). So i can't connect my google account to my droid as it stands.

Download gapps again. And flash, Do not restore system apps, only do user apps

odouppi practical
I upgraded to CM10. Now the gps doesn't work. also the usb connection doesn't work so i can't load the cm9 i don't think. If i wipe the ROM, will that load it back to the factory one? or will it make my phone useless?
Update: Ok, I'm able to connect via wifi with Mobilego. Should i upload root-stock.zip and flash that so it can go back to gingerbread (or whatever the ROM is called that is the basic one that was on before i changed?)
Update 2: I'm just having a problem with GPS. in google maps (a program i do use a lot), Is not able to get my current location. I wonder if anyone else is having this problem from CM10

Update: Ok, I'm able to connect via wifi with Mobilego. Should i upload root-stock.zip and flash that so it can go back to gingerbread (or whatever the ROM is called that is the basic one that was on before i changed?)

Root-stock.zip will not get you back to gingerbread. You should read the t679 XDA wiki. Five or six times even.

maybe i should try doing this when i'm sober...

Yeah that would help alot

I think i'm going to stick with this ROM. But the only problem is that the facebook app seems to be crashing. it doesn't even load up. and gps works in one app, but not in the google maps apps.

What do you mean Facebook is crashing, on occasion I get Facebook has stopped, but if you hit WAIT it loads just fine

No, It's working now. I had to uninstall it. Restart the phone, Then install it again.
The only thing that's not working is the gps on google maps.

Ok look, a general rule of thumb whenever you are installing a new rom, do a full Rom wipe = Factory Reset. Then flash your new rom. Then proceed to install the necessary Gapps. Then clear cache and dalvik cache. Then fix permissions. Then your set. The only time you can install a rom over another rom is if its an update, from the exact same rom and same os.

Soooo happy with CM10

I This I clear the cache, dalvik cache (and maybe even data). I wiped everything in that menu except ROM and system. It was my first time working with this. I did it in less then a week of lightly reading about it. I'll make sure to remember that man.
Thanks
:good:
P.S. I LOVE CM10. This ROM is just phenomenal. I couldn't believe my eyes when i went from Android 2.3.6 to Android 4.1.2. This site has helped me a lot. Please are very friendly and i appreciate that a lot.
Thanks once again, this site is very helpful.
