[Q] re-activate after flash??

well i have successfully installed CM-6.1 and alas, no google apps!
i have the gapps.zip file ready, but seeing as i dont have a data plan i have a question.
when i enter recovery mode and hit wipe data / factory reset, and then flash my google apps, will i have to re-activate my phone after it boots?
and also, after i wipe data / factoy reset will i need to reflash CM-6.1?
if so, can i get the flashing steps i need to take?
all help is greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

you shouldn't have to do a factory reset just to flash the gapps.
Not sure about reregistering, but I think the cm lets you get past that now without jumping through hoops.

thank you! will try it! much appreciatted!

[q] Endless restart loop

I've had my sgs for almost 1 year , and except for rooting it i didnt rly fiddle with it .
On new years eve night i noticed my phone was closed, and when i tried to open it , it started going in this endless restart loop where it would show me the Galaxy S gt-i9000 start up screen and then restart.I pulled out the battery and the problem got fixed, but now it's happening again and it seems i cant fix it.
I read on the forums that this might indicate an internal sd card failure, and if thats the case is there any way of getting my data back?

Power the phone down then push the on button.
Then hold down the home key, the on key, and the left key in the down position and it will give you a fresh boot and upload the original settings.......
You will lose all your pics and numbers etc so I hope you have it backed up..

that will get you in the download mode...

If you are indeed rooted a last resort can be downloading the 2.3.5 stock rom from Sam mobile.. Put your phone into download mode as that guy said, there are lots of tutorials about this online then use odin to flash. As I say this is a last resort if nothing else works.

Use 3 button combo to recovery (Volume up + Home + Power) and do a factory reset and wipe cache. You will see them from the menu. You will not going to lose your personal data. You will just have to install the apps again.

At first don't make factory reset. Try first to wipe Cache, dalvik Cache and fix permissions (all from the recovery). If it doesn't help try flash new Rom (no wipe) or make factory reset. If this don't help either try flashing a 3 file Rom with pit and repartition.

Doing a factory reset won't wipe your pics and all.. it'll just wipe the 2GB partition that is used for rom and apps.. your pics are stored on the separate 6GB/14GB partition and that is not affected when you do a factory reset.. all your contacts, messages and applications etc will be wiped though..

If you have gone into recovery and cleared cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions, then the only option available now is to factory reset in recovery. You will NOT lose any pictures or music on your sd card. You will however, lose your installed apps, their data, your phone numbers and messages. Hopefully you have your numbers backed up with google or at least stored on your sim.
If this doesn't work, you will need to flash a new rom with odin. It's a 5 minute job once you've downloaded everything required.

Did as you said and its still not working, because i still have my waranty il take it to the " pros" instead of flasing a new rom.

Only way is to flash a fresh stock rom via Odin since factory reset wouldn't work for you.

Mate, all they will do (all they CAN do) is flash a new rom........ But, whatever - it's your phone and time.

Samsung Keyboard crash

I love my new Note 4, but I experience twice in the last week of this new phone that is says: Samsung Keyboard has stopped working and then the keyboard would be stuck at the bottom of the screen. After trying to fix it for a few seconds, it would reboot itself. Anyone else has this problem? Solutions?

Try clearing the cache maybe that will help.

im also having the same exact problem after updating to lollipop. I've wiped cache in boot and all it did was cause one of my chargers to not fast charge anymore. but my keyboard is still crashing atleast 5 times a day. this happens whenever I long press and letter for a symbol, it doesnt matter what app im in, if i try to type a symbol through shortcut by long pressing a letter, 4 out of 5 times my keyboard will crash. I've been trying to find the solution to this but no luck.

I bet that all three of you did not do a full and complete wipe including factory reset
before you odin flashed the new lollipop COD6 firmware.
If that was the case then go into twrp recovery and do a full wipe including factory reset
but don't reboot the phone, navigate twrp to the "download mode" option and click that
and then get odin ready and re-flash the phone with the lollipop firmware.
A full wipe always includes system,data,cache,dalvik cache and last but not least factory reset.
Be sure to do a nandroid backup in twrp before flashing anything.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I just checked my baseband. It is COD6 and I did do wipe cache when I update it from 4.4 to 5.0.1. If the random reboot show up again, I'll do factory reset + full wipe

[Help]

So, I followed this thread, used unsu, and things just as described in there:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/switching-supersu-to-magisksu-t3625579
The thing is, I flashed LineageOS's boot.img which I had, though... now, my phone will get past the "SAMSUNG" logo, and the warranty bit kernel notification thing on the top left... and it'll automatically reboot, and then boot again to download mode, I can boot to recovery mode, everything except the actual system...

Just a guess (I've not checked the link): go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik before reboot to system.

Did you back up the boot in twrp before u do that?
I had similar problems before but i immediately gave up to use and just restore my boot partition from working one

A715F stuck in bootloop. Can i fix it without losing data or at least recover it before a reset? (bootloader unlocked)

Hello! I apologize if the terminology won't be correct but i'm not very tech savvy and i'm learning while trying to fix this mess
I have this rooted Samsung A715F (no custom rom) given to me by my cousin some time ago (he can't help me).
The day before yesterday it started boot-looping out the blue and i initially wiped the cache partition without success then i tried to flash the last firmware with Odin after reading some guides here, uploading the HOME_CSC to not lose my data, I've some important pictures i would like not to lose (I know, not making a backup was stupid).
But the problem wasn't solved, the only difference is a new screen during the boot saying: "One ui error" and another "Can't load android system your data may be corrupted[...] where i can select Try again, factory data reset and recovery logs".
Luckily i still can access Download and Recovery mode but i don't really know what to do, i tried to download the firmware flash from other sources but nothing... and i'm pretty sure TWRP isn't installed.
Is there anything i can do before wiping data? Please, please help me

Of course no.
Hard reset and Davlik cache clean is required.
