Okay, I did a ton of research on this, but when I flashed the ROM, I ended up with some major problems. I hope someone can help. Here's the deal:
Started with the stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6), no overclocking
Backed up apps & data with Titanium Backup
Backed up contents of both internal and external SD card to my PC
Backed up phone to external SD card using CWM 6.0.1.2
Performed ROMwipe
Flashed odexed build, CM10_LINARO_20130118_ODEX_IRX120
Flashed DemonsBlood v8
Flashed Gapps
Rebooted
Now, the new ROM was working, but I started having trouble navigating and certain apps would force close, or I'd get messages that certain things had stopped working. Also, I could not figure out how to set up my home screens and wallpapers and settings and such the way I wanted. So I decided to go back to my stock ROM. But when I flashed my backup, the phone now acts as if it's been factory reset (although I can still boot back into CWM recovery). Also, when I download Titanium Backup, Facebook, and other apps, they force close upon launch.
I have wiped the ROM, fixed permissions, and tried again, with no success. I've copied the files I backed up to my PC back to the phone, but no joy there, either.
Ideally, I'd love to get my phone back to where it was before I attempted this - or, as a second choice, go forward and use the new ROM & Kernel, because I was pretty excited about trying it out. But I feel like I've lost a ton and now it's not working properly at all.
Can someone help me restore this? And tell me where I went wrong?
UPDATE: In CWM Recovery, I selected flash image from external SD card and selected CM10_LINARO_20130118_ODEX_IRX120, then rebooted. Now it gets stuck at the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G, Exclusively from T-Mobile). I tried booting into recovery, but no luck - same result, stuck at the boot screen. So I booted into HBOOT (vol down + power), got a warning about a custom ROM with a choice to reboot or proceed. Since I figured rebooting would just put me back at the boot screen, I chose to proceed. It is now showing the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T679
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT KERNEL: SAMSUNG !!
Then there's the android icon and underneath it says:
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Sigh. Help.
Okay, I got out of ODIN mode and managed to reboot into CWM recovery. Progress! I wiped the ROM, flashed CM10_LINARO_20130118_ODEX_IRX120, SpeedyGonzalez_OC_1.5.5, and Gapps, and rebooted.
So now I'm running CM10 Linaro, Odexed, with SGK. Okay. **deep breath** The first thing I see after the boot screen is "Welcome, choose your language" and then "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped."
OK.
Signing in with Gmail . . . (screen does not auto-rotate at this point)
Contacting Google, then again "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped."
Completed setup, then again "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped."
Going to Play Store to get Titanium Backup. And a few more apps.
Auto-rotate now works.
Into Titanium Backup and I get this warning: "This device's Android ID has changed. This normally happens after a device replacement or factory reset. The Android ID is the most common way for apps to identify the device. Any app that relies on it for security/licensing purposes may stop working (or need to be reconfigured) unless you restore the previous Android ID now." with a choice: Keep the new one, or restore the old one (I only have the free version, so this choice is not available).
Should I get my apps back from Play Store or Titanium Backup or both? (I now know to restore the "app only" from Titanium Backup.)
I'm going to keep plugging away at this. Any suggestions for my next steps?

i would suggest using TWRP recovery, backing up your internal, wipe cache 2x , wipe dalvik 2x , factory reset 2x, wipe rom 2x, and wipe internal 2x. then flash rom and gapps

Today I turned off my Captivate for the first time in a couple days. When I turned it back on, it went through the ATT and Galaxy S animations, then remained at a black screen. It then vibrated on semi-regular intervals, in triplets, kind of like when an app force closes. I went to recovery mode and deleted user data, so now the phone boots into android. It starts with the setting up the phone tutorial, but whenever I get past the Google Location Services page the PhoneSetupWizard crashes then restarts. I cannot seem to get by this into the rest of the OS.
Possible cause: I was messing with a settings database a few days ago to try and enable side-loading. For some reason I feel like I may have accidentally deleted that whole .db file, which is obviously a problem.
What would be the best thing to do so I can get back to using my phone normally again? Would it be easiest to flash a new rom?
Flash stock using odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Alternatly, install any custom rom as an update.zip, or install clockwork recovery zip and install any custom rom zip file.
Thanks I'll probably go the custom rom route. And do you know why the phone setup wizard app would continually crash? Is it possible that clearing user data through the android recovery menu deleted part of it, stopping the phone from functioning? If so, it makes android recovery rather useless. Installing clockwork recovery would be a good choice.
Hi I am new to the Android market. I bought a Captivate last May read as many posts on how to flash a new rom to my phone. I flashed Firefly 3.0 to it in June. Everything was fine until a week and a half ago. I'm not sure what caused this, there was an update to TB that I downloaded, but I also deceided to change my boot animation to the Dark Blue. I did this but then deceided I liked the stock theme better and changed it back after a day or so. When the battery was low I put the phone on to charge over night, when I turned the phone on it went in to a boot loop. I put the phone in to recovery and re installed the rom.zip. The phone started to work again but was acting strange, so when I got home I re rooted, flashed back to stock and re installed Firefly 3.0 TB restored the phone, but when I set my ringtone and notifications etc, they would not save after I turned off the phone. I reset all thge ringtones and notifications and they stayed this time but |I now cannot download any apps or update apps, I keep getting out of memory error, even though I have about 11gb of memory on the internal sd and about 6gb on the exteral card. I apologize if this has been covered but I could not find any posts with the exact same issues. I'm reluctant to flash the rom again out of fear that I will have even less memory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try, rebooting into recovery. Wipe cache and under advanced, wipe Dalvik cache. Reboot phone and wait while it rebuilds cache. Then go into applications. Find market and wipe data. When restoring from TiBu also make sure your not restoring SYSTEM data when you restore your apps.
Thanks for your help! I was able to download the swype beta again. I can't restore some of my old apps like ebay won't install, but new apps will, can't figure that one out. Thanks again for your help I really appreciate it!
Posting here because I can't post on the dev thread being a newbie and all. I've installed [ROM][ICS][ITL41D] teamhacksung's ICS Port for Galaxy S (BUILD 8) and for the most part it's working great! Really love the changes in ICS over GB.
I had CM7.1 installed, I did a data wipe/factory restore, cleared cache and even cleared dalvik cache, installed ICS and then installed Gapps 5.1.
I have two major issues with Market:
1) When on the Market website it shows a bunch of apps in the INSTALLED state to my phone but due to the wipe they are not installed.
2) When I click install on an app from the website it says "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly." but then I never see it on my device.
I CAN install apps via Market from the phone though with no issues.
I've restarted, verified internet connection, etc. I even tried reinstalling Gapps.
Any ideas?
I know there have been times mine would not download anything after I used the website until I went on my phone and downloaded something else, then it like "wakes up" and downloads what I sent through the website. Have you tried that? Also, you are making sure you Ars logged into the same google account on the website as your phone, right?
Sent from my ice creamed Captivate
Yeah I've been able to successfully download from the phone... still nothing on the site. And yes, same google account as on the phone - if I initiate a download/purchase from the website it does show up on the phone market app under the not installed portion of My Apps...
I've also tried with Wi-Fi enabled/disabled, tried switching to airplane mode and back... still no go.
SOLVED!
Pain in the ass though. Did factory reset/data wipe from within ICS, including formatting the SD card. Reinstalled CM7, booted, booted into recovery, then wiped cache/factory reset, reinstalled ICS then booted, booted into recovery, installed Google Apps and it seems to be working. Still shows up on Market website as "Installed" but allows me to select the phone and it does sent the push install.
Must have been some data setting that was preventing it. Oh well, good to start with a fresh phone once in a while
I have ViperOne 4.2 rom installed with latest fw, radio and Elemental X kernel 10.10.1. I have this setup now for about 2 weeks or so and have not changed anything on my phone drastically or have installed any new software etc.
Today all of a sudden my phone rebooted and once it did i am greeted with the message that Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped. When i click ok the UI seems to reboot itself quickly but then i get the same error message again and again after repeating these steps.
I have restarted my phone several times, even booted into safe mode only yet the same error keeps comming up again and again.
Can anybody advise what the problem could be or what to do to make it stop?
Worst case scenario i can restore from a Nandroid backup but i would prefer not atm as i'd rather know what is causing this problem.
Any help would be appriciated!
Great. I tried to delete the cache in recovery just as a try. When i rebooted i was greeted by stockish type of welcome screen with setup your phone info. So i went back to recovery to try restore the nandroid backup which is on my phone. After some time TWRP sais "Restore failed".... never had that before either.... wonderfull...
So this day just keeps getting weirder and weirder. While trying to somehow restore my nandroid (which still does not work btw) when i go to power off my phone via TWRP it sais no SU is installed and it seems i do not have root permissions.
Which is very odd because i am S-OFF, SuperCID for quite some time now....
What the hell is going on today? Meh...
I had the FC in com.android.systemui too, but so far i did`t have the issue with restoring. Would be also thankful for further advise...
Anybody an Idea?

if you're using a custom rom try a 'dirty' flash (flash without wiping). That fixes most of these types of FCs without losing any data.
I am using the Viper 4.3 ROM, was choosing to NOT install some of the Apps that would be included on a regular install - maybe this causes the FC. I try without removing these applications. Thanks for your advise! :good:
I have rooted my phone and installed the CWM ROM Manager app, but every time I try and reboot in recovery, or install ROM from SD card in the menu the phone restarts shows the android and then crashes, I then turn on the phone agian and it boots into 'Android System recovery <3e>'
What am I doing wrong?
On this phone you can install cwm using ROM manager. You will need to use a kernel that has cwm recovery. Eg. Philz kernel.

Thanks nokiamodeln91, I used PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0.tar.md5 and that seems to have worked, for Nightowl-cm13-beta3-n7000 ROM.......though I do get a yellow warning triangle under the Samsung logo when I turn the phone on, but it boots up into Nightowl after a little delay.
Though I'm now having a little trouble finding a Gapps that works with this ROM, if someone could point me in the right direction?
I tried making one with on The Open GApps Project ARM/6.0/full, but it didn't work (should have taken a note of the error message), and then tried "BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps-6.x.x-10-20-15" that one installed but keeped looking a error message about apps that had stopped working.
OK just tried to install the micro Gapps recommended on the [ROM][CM13][Marshmallow][Android 6.0.1] NightOwl 20160510 thread
install, then when the phone boots up I get
Unfortunately Set up wizard hast stopped

popping up one after the other.
May be you should try a clean install on ROM followed by micro open gapps in one go. Bigger gapps won't install due to space limitations of system partition.

I had the same problem. Solution is provided in http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/problems-gapps-cm13-t3258915 and that worked for me:
Go to Settings, Apps , select "Show system apps" in menu at the top , scroll to and tap "Setup wizard", "Permissions" and turn all permissions on (Contacts and Phone).
This may take a while as you have to do this while the error messages keep popping up. Put your gaming skills to work to benefit from those spare moments there are no error messages and you can interact with the phone.
Update: this got rid of the setup wizard messages. I still had problems with the Google play services that would not go away. In the end the solution was to wipe the entire internal SD card (/sdcard0) and not only system, cache, data. I then installed both the CM13 and GApps in one go. After the initialisation phase no error messages popped up. So the answer to the problem may also be: wipe everything (to prevent some old data files interfering with the new install) and install CM13 + GApps in one go.
