[Q] My Phone doesn't start and CWM corrupted

Hey guys!
I have a big problem. I need wipe data of my mini pro through the pc, i think this is the only way to resolve my problem.
I had installed a new rom and forget to wipe data, so the system doesn't start anymore (stay in boot animation). And more, my CWM doesn't work too, but i don't know why (it's happened after installed the new rom; i saw a message about corruptition of cwm, but i don't really care).

com.android.phone has stopped

Hi guys ino this problems has been posted before bui cant find the answers none of them work.
Basically this is note my phone its my grandads i updated the Firmware from Gingerbread to ICS last week and when people phone him this process stops. Now ive tried going into reject messages settings and having less then 5 and it does nit work. The phone is NOT rooted and will not be as I don't want to screw upp their warenty.
I would normally wipe permissions but I cant since CWM is not installed.
I also cant replace phone apk as I need Root access.
Please any help would be great.
Firmware version. : PDA:LQ2 /PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP4 (CPW)
Stock ICS 4.0.3 ROM

Guess first thing to try would be to wipe cache and data on the dialler app.
Every time ive had this problem though, the only tying thats worked has been a factory reset. Id watch out doing this on an ics rom though, samsung have now admitted the emmc issue and are working on stable kernels but they will probably be out a month or so.
Alternatively you may be able to use an alternative dialler from the play store.

Apologies, i think you'd need to be rooted to install an alternative dialler.

Wiping/factory reset will do the trick, I was having the same problem, coming from pre rooted Gingerbread to flashing non rooted stock ROM ICS through PC Odin.
After wiping problem no more force close on phone.

i wouldnt advise a factory reset with all the info we now know,would you like to be responsible for his bricked phone
i would wait til your in a position to install root safely and use a safe kernel then wipe

What I meant was a wipe after stock ROM was flashed through Odin, doesn't that remove CWM? It IS safe to do factory reset without CWM installed is it? And if you can't use your phone without well, having com.android.phone running and you do just a factorey reset it needs to go back to Samsung anyway. Hard resetting your phone doesn't seem to break warranty to me, does it?
Any advise will be appreciated, I'm still trying to figure out what to do and how to root ICS.
Thanks.

Do NOT factory reset in ICS as it could initiate the superbrick. Only wipe in CM9 or gingerbread.

Ok. Thanks. Already did it though . I was lucky to not brick the damn thing
Rolling back to Gingerbread doesn´t work, unfortunately, I get errors/fc on at least 3 important processes.
Edit: Well, I managed to get Gingerbread working again after all; flashed back to GB through PC Odin and then do a full wipe/factory restore.

wipe cache and dalvik cache will do the trick.

Guys I said that I do NOT have CWM installed nor am i rooted so little of these options will work. But I factory reset it went into reset area of setting and restored to stock and everything works fines now so THANK you also another note my granny's Galaxy s3 had the same problem after fixing the Galaxy note about 3 days after had to reset hers as well and its fine now. I wondered if it could be because i brought both phones from Carphonewarehouse ?
Thanks for your help

[Q] rom problem ???

hey everyone !
first of all, apologies if this has been covered.
i recently rooted my galaxy note 3 (SM-N9005) with crash rom. i now want to go back to stock. the problem im having is that i cant seem to clear crash rom from the phone. ive tried a full system reset from the phones recovery. nada. i went into TWRP and did a full wipe (data, dalvik, system, cache etc. nada. ive tried to flash with other roms through TWRP and odin in the hope that they would over write crash rom. nada. crash rom still remains ! is there fail proof way to get rid of this ?

Have you tried rebooting the phone? Or wiped cache in recovery. Dalvik is imo still more stable and faster then ART atm.

I have tried rebooting and safe mode...
then I wanted to try factory reset but excidently got into download mod insted...I tool the chance of a brick and took the battery out while in download mode(since I didnt have files to burn via odin) and the phone just turned on using delvik and didnt show any problem...so the issue is solved,,,I have no idea how and why but it is...

I had ill effects when switching myself, found that best way to test it was to switch it to ART right after a hard reset or flashing stock via odin. Im sure just wiping cache and dalvik would have fixed it, but i was returning the phone for USB port issues anyhow so i flashed back to stock. not sure if clearing the android files on the internal storage or the cache/dalvik being wiped fixed it, but it ran find after that with no FC's etc. As stated though, i havent really noticed much if any improvement. Still too soon in its infancy to probably see much from it yet lol.
Good luck!

[Q] Freezing

I have rooted my phone and its been months now. Have used different roms like gummy, Nameless, Mahdi etc. Recently I had Nameless rom and 3 days back, my phone started freezing when the screen timed out and also froze when there was no sound. I updated the rom but still faced the same problem. Changed to Mahdi but same problem again. Finally I went back to gummy and I face same problem here too. I have done everything except unrooting and going back to Samsung rom.
Pls help me. I cannot understand what is wrong with my phone.

Hi,
Most of this problems come from flashing , did you full wipe / clear dalvik and cache before installing rom?

Hi ,
Did work fine for 2-3 days? maybe something you installed or restore from you back up.
I would flash rom again No wipe and see how it works , if is working fine i will restore only apps ( not system data) one by one and see if you find the culprit

4 days back I installed Nameless updated version and flashed it by wiping data cache and dalvik. I m guessing this problem started after installing the Nameless version. But now I'm off Nameless. I'm back to gummy and I just found that my sounds r not working well and I can't speak or hear when I receive or make a call. Should I just unroot my phone and get the stock firmware? Doing this will it get the phone back to normal?

Flashing stock is an option but before that
I have Philz touch
Make a nandroid back up and copy it with the rom you want to use in your external SD , copy all your music , data , pictures from the internal SD to the external SD
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvick
Mounts and Storage / format /data and /data /media (/sdcard) to clean any possible leftover file from any other rom
Now flash your rom from Sdcard1
If does not work go back to stock a re start all over...
