Hi. I've just bought a i9000 s galaxy. I've installed kies and connected the phone, then suddenly a sorry message appeared "the application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201007121612...log has been saved. use *#9900# to copy out log. by pressing force close it appears again n again. I can't get to the homescreen... Any sollution? I've also tried to get in recovery i get this message "downloading... do not turn off target! Thx in advance
The first problem is nothing big, just Force Close it and it'd start up again. (twlauncher is the TouchWhiz shell) If not do a hard reset/Factory reset. I've had a few of them but its usually due to running out of ram, install a auto task killer. Or turn off KIES on the phone via Settings/About/USB/External drive . Sounds like you've flashed something/moved /data .
And the second problem is not a problem agian, No idea why you are putting the machine in Downloading Mode so early after getting your nice new toy and not taking time out to formilarize with it. But ANYHOO, If you want recovery mode its HOME/UP VOL/POWER . While Download Mode is HOME/DOWN VOL/POWER.
Seriously, take time out to play with the normal rom rather thing rushing in and flashing/rooting it as you won't know the basics to even know if you've screwed somethign up. Also you do KNOW that flashing/rooting VOIDS your warranty right?
P.S my phone is already flashed/rooted but I took alot of time out to learn the basics and read alot up about things before I rushed in.

thx for your help! meanwhile i've managed to solve the problem! twlauncher error appeared when i connected the phone to kies. By pressing force close it reapearred in every 2sec. What i've done ...was pressing the search button than settings and from there factory reset! the reason why i want to flash it is because i want it to be up to date .. no luck so far with odin... tried on 3 pcs X( BTW great PHONE!
im getting the force close message now, is factoy reset is the only way to fix it? if yes how can i keep my applications after the factory reset ! what application should i use to backup my apps.
Titanium backup / APKoptic
both are available in the market.
OK, so today I decided to update my Galaxy S firmware via Kies as it was now available for Vodafone customers. All seemed to go ok, got to the final screen on Kies where it says completed, phone will reboot when firmware update completed. However it never did reboot, the menu and back button lights just lit up and stayed on for ages.
Now the phone would only boots to the Galaxy S start up screen and get stuck.
I decided to go into recovery mode and do a factory reset which sort of helped. The phone boots up into Andorid but only to the 'Welcome to GT-I9000, touch the Android to begin'. Except the 'force close' messages keep popping up saying XXXX process has stopped unexpectedly, and pressing the 'touch android to begin' doesn't do anything (more force close errors pop up). After a while the force close errors stop, but pressing 'the Android' does nothing.
If I plug the USB cable in it is recognised and I can choose Samsung Kies/Mass Storage mode on the phone. However, if I press Samsung Kies and fire up Kies it just gets stuck on 'connecting'. Nothing shows up on on the phone though.
Any ideas on what to do next? Flash firmware with Odin?
Any help would be much appreciated, really don't want to have to send it back to Vodafone
Have you tried unplugging the battery from the device and leaving it for a while and restart it. It may work out....
I've flashed it to JM8 now and is working okish.
I installed the project voodoo lag fix and now I can't sign into my gmail or facebook account which is slightyly irritating . Worked fine before, any ideas why it comes up with "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"?
I'm using wifi to connect to the internet, full signal, worked fine in same place before etc. Internet works fine so it suggests the connection is ok. Any ideas?
I had this issue yesterday and resolved it by doing a factory reset in the settings app. For some train the recovery mode reset doesn't reset the google link..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
lex_87, did you ever resolve this? I've been having a tonne of issues since upgrading to the Vodafone-provided update that was released on 19/09, and after getting fed up with my phone crashing/panicking all the time, did a a factory reset from within the Settings menu. And now I've got exactly the same issue as you.
Really not sure what to do. If I flash it myself I'll end up voiding the warranty and if I send it back to Vodafone, I won't get a replacement for weeks, if not months, as they're out of stock.
Any help would be appreciated...
You need to re-enter your APN settings to get data to work again, Google for vodafone's APN settings.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, but I didn't manage to enter in to the setup mode in order to do a factory reset. Can you please tell me how can I access factory reset? The phone never recover from a black screen and a few buzz.
Thanks.
I am having problems downloading pictures and applications. I get the message "download unsuccessful". I have to go to the download folder and retry it, sometimes more than a few times before it finally says "successful". I'm normally on wifi and have tried it with 3g, but that just makes it longer.
I just updated a couple of programs (Better cracked Srceen and LBE Privacy guard) from android market. LBE asked for a reboot, but when I did it I got a "system UIDS inconsistent" message. It says "UIDS on the system are inconsistent , you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable". If i press the ""I' m feeling Lucky" button at the bottom of this message I get many other error messages that loop all the time, so I can't do anything from there. What can I do?
This is for Samsung Galaxy S II GT 19100 running stock kernel Ice Cream Sandwich 4.03 only!!
If You're rooted and then Hard Reseted You phone and now got stuck on TWLauncher stopped error loop and cannot access play store, settings et cetera and have an empty home page, this one's for You!
The simple method is to upgrade Your firmware through Samsung KIES (by connecting your s2 to computer through USB) to {official} ICS 4.04.
Volia! Now You can again root Your phone with this simple method as upgrade removes root permissions.
Download this File first and put in your SDCARD
- CWM
- SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot to recovery.
Choose apply update from external storage.
Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear.
Choose install zip from sdcard or external SD
Choose and Install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip
Reboot
You are done and now your device is Rooted
No need to use additional softwares like 'Triangle Away' as Your custom counter remains 0 and thus no annoying Yellow Triangle appears.
For those who can access settings, play store.
Method 1:
Go to settings-> applications-> manage applications and select the "all" tab at the top. Find "twlauncher" and clear data.(this resets Home screen.)
Method 2:
Go to play store and download either 'Go launcher EX' or 'Apex Launcher' and set it as default once You hit the Home Screen.
Removed all home screens
I had teh same problem of phone cyclically going in to "unfortunately TWlauncher has failed to start" error. I long tapped the screen and deleted all the home screens with shortcuts and widgets. Then the phone started working fine.:laugh:
