Phone was fine, restarted - suddenly "Unfortunately <insert every app here> has stopped working"
Now I've checked a fair few threads and this seems to be related to internal storage being full however mine is not even within the usual warning area for storage (600mb remaining). What's more - I've formatted system and installed other roms with no luck. I can't access the phone via PC as any actions attempted from PC result in message "Can't complete <action> as phone is either disconnected or not responding" - of course it isnt responding...
I've attempted to fix permission through CWM to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas that don't involve full wipe - loss of data?
- I am/was using OMAR's roms and have tried switching between roms from as far back as December 2013.
- I have noticed that my phone keeps unusually large caches for some apps (i.e up to and above 50mb each) but at this moment in time I still have space remaining.
EDIT:
Factory reset does nothing to help.

U can try to flash stock ROM by RSD lite.
I did this in the end, thanks.
Thread can be closed.
But does anyone know why this happened? I was literally in the middle of a YouTube video when it happened. Literally nothing had changed on my phone for days.

Hello,
I have problems with my i9000. I am using MIUI 1.11.11.
The thing is that since yesterday I have serious issues with my phone. It happened before upgrading to new version of MIUI.
All apps started to crash, there is no exception. Starting from Google Services Framework untill standard bluetooth app. Every single one. I can't even check any e-mails, messages, I can't even make a call because calling app crashes too. I can't receive any calls at all. I rebooted phone, cleared caches, upgraded phone to MIUI 1.11.11 and nothing. I can't use my phone anymore.
When I pressed "Report problem" I saw for a second log with problem it said something about "data I/O error".
I think the issue is somehow connected to sdcard since I had problems with it before. It was always hard to connect my phone by usb cable. Actually... it was always hard to DISCONNECT my phone. I had to wait looong minutes (about 20 or so) till it finished disconnecting.
If you guys could help me, I'd be glad.
Thanks in advance,
v.
Cwm Recovery - wipe data factory reset, have you tried that?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16612037#post16612037 -ยป I've used this guide and never had problems
I suggest you to reinstall MIUI wiping via recovery cache,dalvik cache,formatting /system and factory reset!
I already posted this question in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226030&page=4
But I think I'll get some more attention this way. I was trying to save this board some space by posting in a preexisting topic, but that might have been a poor decision on my part.
The message will be a copy-paste with some minor tweaks to make it more understandable:
Hello. First time poster here. My phone is Samsung GT-S5570i and I have some problems with it. I couldn't get the solution in the other topic to work.
Long story short: My phone is soft bricked (apparently) and I can't do anything to it via Odin due to the phone not being able to connect via USB (it can charge, though).
Long story... Long: My problems with this phone have persisted for a long time now. The biggest drawback is that the phone cannot connect to anything via USB cable, but it can still charge from it. Yesterday I received an error message from my PC while trying to connect this (soft bricked) phone to it: It could not recognize the phone because of an error in the way the phone is operating. I tried to connect my phone to the PC because I was trying to free up some space from my phone's internal memory to update Whatsapp. I tried deleting Voice Search, but while deleting it, the phone booted by itself. I then went to see what happened in the application list (only to notice that there was less free space), then my phone froze (after throwing three different error messages about processes not running properly). It became completely unresponsive and I had to pull the battery to boot it. Now it's stuck in an infinite loop of the boot screen and the starting animation. I can access the download and "Home + up + power" menus, but my phone keeps telling me it can't mount /data when I try to restart it from those menus. I'm completely reliant on getting it to work through the phone's SDCard due to the issue with not being able to connect via USB.
This update had an error in it when the phone tried to install it (status 7, or something like that): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2226024
I managed to get this to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2225994
But it didn't really do me any good.
So what do I do now? Is there some fix to the phone's USB port I can apply via SDCard? Can I just install some firmware via the SDCard directly without using "outside" programs? Am I eternally screwed with this phone? I have tried everything I could find so far, but almost all the options require the use of Odin, which I can't do thanks to the malfunctioning USB port.
Sorry for the long post. Thank you for any replies.
PS: I tried the factory reset and it claimed it had wiped the data and the cache from the phone, but the restart still couldn't mount data.
After using my 910t one night playing a game it suddenly froze up and I had to do battery pull. When it restarted I got the whole Unfortunately (multiple apps) has stopped and then it rebooted. Tried clearing cache - dalvik, reinstalling rom, using TWRP backup, and finally ODIN COG2 (firmware at the time) - and then thought maybe DOK2 would fix it so tried that as well. Same problem persisted. Wiped System - Internal - Data - Cache... I am able to get into TWRP, Stock Recovery, Download Mode, and ODIN finishes without any errors - but as soon as I get to the Samsung setup screen - it starts the whole Unfortunately ...... then reboots over and over. I did notice once ODIN firmware flash completed, the green android install bar after reboot would go almost halfway then reboot, wondering if thats a cause for concern as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
After oden flash you should be back to normal. This is weird in deed.

Hi,
I've got XT1068, updated to 6.0 Marshmallow. In the past, I got it FDE (full disk encrypted).
Few days ago I unlocked my bootloader to gain root access on my phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/simplified-modifying-boot-img-t3317605
everything went as expected, but by unlocking it wiped all userdata, so I wanted to re-encrypt the phone (and the external SD especially). But now, encryption fails, telling me "encryption fails, you have to reset your phone" each time I start the encryption, ending in a userdata-wipe.
So I thought about going back to stock fw.
After locking the bootloader and applying stock 6.0 FW, I tried again to encrypt the phone, but I am still unable to do so.
Can someone help me giving some suggestions, how I can fix that behavior and (mainly) how to get some errors/debug shown?
When selecting "encrypt now", the green android symbol with black background is shown for 5seconds, then the phone reboots, shows the bootscreen with the M, then it restarts again (after ~30minute) and shows after another 20seconds the message that something went wrong encrypting.
Ok it seems that I found out the problem in my case by myself.
Instead of using mfastboot.exe -w to delete the data and cache partition, I used recovery mode to delete userdata. I did it twice, since the first run, returns some errors.
After reset, I started the phone and got the fresh-install screen. I skipped mobile and wifi networking and did not entered google account details. Then I restarted the phone and waited for ~5minutes and tried to encrypt - everything works. Everytime I started encryption without waiting for some time it failed.
I hope I can save someone else some time, since factory reset takes ~15minutes each time you do it.
Hi there,
I have a Moto G 2 (2014) that I use as a secondary phone and yesterday my phones started to act weird so I decided to reboot it, upon rebooting phone is completely unusable. There is no way to browse through apps or do anything at all as every single app crashes almost immediately. Even the system apps crash constantly.
I thought that factory reset will solve the issue but I can't access it through phone so I tried to use recovery option to reset it to the factory settings without any luck. Bootloader is unlocked with status 3, but there is no way to flash anything, custom rom or recovery. I have followed the steps to flash the recovery from HERE without any luck. Booting the recovery through fastboot gets me through to TWRP or CWM but I can't perform any operation as any wipe command results in error 5.
Erasing through fastboot doesn't do anything either, although shows that operation has succeed when I boot I am greeted with same state I left the phone in, with exact apps I left open etc.
I have even unplugged the battery and left it for few hours to drain the energy from the board without any luck!
Now I was wondering whether it is some sort of memory issue? I never had any issues with the phone it was working well until one day it just sort of died.
Short version
Phone boots - Every app crashes (even system apps)
Unlocked Bootloader
No way to flash or wipe anything
Can boot to custom recovery through fastboot but that's about it (can't perform any operation, constant Error 5)
When wiping through fastboot device still has the old data even the apps that I had open when it crashed.
Sounds like data/internal storage partition is corrupted. Can you access internal storage via mtp on PC?
Many phones were saved by flashing stock ROM, especially partition table/gpt.bin.
Try flashing whole stock ROM, step by step. You can find files and Howto here on xda.
This will reset your phone! Good luck!
