Process System isn't responding

Hi
I'm having issues with my I9505 Galaxy S4. The phone was rooted and after trying a few ROMs (Omega) etc I returned to a NAND backup with was basically rooted stock (via TWRP). Over the weekend strange lock-ups kept happening and I keep getting - Process System isn't responding. When I try and make a call the phone either reboots and hands for a minute and returns that error. This morning I have flashed via ODIN a rooted stock rom then a standard stock ROM - both do not fix the issues, I still have the same errors which is odd.
Can anyone make any suggestions ?
Thanks, Nick

if you are rooted, flash custom recovery, format system via recovery, then flash a custom rom or stock firmware.

Sorry, just saw that you did all these already.
You have to be VERY careful. It is already reported that the wipe in TWRP might screw things up.
So, I recommend you that you install a prerooted stock ROM, and the stock recovery. Then do a factory reset (from the phone!).

[[SOLVED]] Process system isn't responding

Hi,
I rooted my phone 2 days ago and installed custom ROM everything went well, except for today my phone start to lag too much, so I decided to flash back the stock ROM that I have downloaded from Sam-mobile using Odin 3.08, but now my device not responding to anything and even I get "Process system isn't responding" in Samsung wizard installation also the sound disappeared and when try lunch any app like camera I get message "camera failed" and keep getting "Process system isn't responding".
[[The Solution]] for Process system isn't responding follow the steps: ((ONLY SM-N9005))
1-Unroot your phone if you are rooted.
2-Factory rest your phone and clear cache. .
3-Flash the Stock rom for your device.(if this fixed the the problem stop here if not continue to step 4)
4-Download this ROM and flash it by Odin 3.04.(this rom somehow managed to restore my EFS files and fixed the problem)
and that's it.

Oh man, I though I was the only one having this problem. I really don't now how to fix it at all, I've tried flashing stock ROM and I still get the same problem. If anyone can help, I'd be so grateful.

This sounds a lot like the issue I've been having (see details in the thread I posted here).
Any insight would be very welcome.

Yup bad root (it can and does happen the odd time!), clear cache etc in download mode, then reflash the new Stock ROM, then wipe cache etc again in download mode. See if that helps.
Similar issue I had previously after I originally rooted was apps kept closing and saying stopped working. When I wiped the ROM and updated via KIES to MJ7 with wiping cache etc, it seems to have done the trick.
EDIT: Also try ODIN 3.07 rather than 3.08

Maybe just return it, play stupid with the phone shop staff, probably won't notice the flashing anyway.

Unfortunately I've tried all of this too (except using Kies, it won't recognise my phone though I'd never tried it before now) to no avail.
I might try a warranty swap, but I'm concerned because the system status shows custom and I'm unsure there's any way to reset it. I suppose my only chance is to try for an on-the-spot swap for a new phone, because if it gets sent back to Samsung I expect they'd reject it due to the system status.
Still can't understand why the issue persists beyond reflashing the stock rom...

I don't understand why the issue persists after flashing stock either but I doubt it is hardware fault. I hope someone knows how to fix this

LS980 stuck on 4.4.2 Rom

Hello All,
I am hoping the XDA community can help me out.
My current situation is that I am rooted, runnig Madhi 4.4.2 rom. I also have TWRP installed, with backup for stock rooted rom, and a backup for
my current Madhi Rom. Here lies my problem. I can't flash any other rom, nor can I flash my stock backup rom.
When I try to flash a different rom I get bootloops causing it to constantly restart, which is the same thing that happens when i try to flash my stock
backup. Can someone be kind enough to tell me what I am doing wrong (before i was able to restore my backup to stock), and what do i need to
do to be able to change out my rom. Hopefully there is a way to do so without having to bring my phone completely back to stock, then rerooting.
I've searched the threads but i wasn't able to find the answer.
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

What version of TWRP are you running and how are you wiping? Make sure you go into advanced and wipe cache, dalvik, data AND system.
Do this 3 times! Because sometimes it doesn't work. Flash your rom then wipe cache and dalvik and restart.

Thanks for the tip. I am running 2.6.3.3 TWRP.
I normally do the full wipe, but i took your advice and went into advanced wipe and wiped dalvik, cache, system & data but unfortunately still the same result.
do you have any idea of what boggered up my phone? for right now, im stuck on Mahi Rom. I can restore back to Mahi Rom, and flash Mahi Rom, but that's the extent of it.
I do recall that when I originally flashed Mahi Rom, i had to flash a patch for the Sprint version of the G2. Do you think that has something to do with my problems?
i didn't have this problem before...just kinda baffled that now its giving me issues....
Thanks for your time, much appreciated. Hope someone can help me get to the bottom of this

I'm baffled as well, I would say it's time for a .tot restore. The rooting doesn't take long really, I think you'll spend more time trying to troubleshoot than it takes to wipe and restore your apps with TBU.

Are you by chance using the zva radio?

Thanks for taking the time out to help me out. I'm afraid you might be right. It's just the the files for the .tot restore are huge! One file was over 2.1 gb, which sucks for me cause my internet is really slow. funny thing is i was dl'ing that file took like 5 hours, and when it got to 2gb downloaded, the site froze and i wasn't able to pause/resume my download. it was very frustrating.

Most roms are around 1.5gb. If you are getting disconnects it could also be causing what you see with the other roms you're flashing. Unless they are the same ones that you flashed successfully before of course.
Either way having a .tot restore file backup up on your PC is really handy to have.

[Q] Odin Troubles... >_<

So here we go again...
I tried using Odin to get back to stock but, Odin just kept crashing
every time I tried loading the 'MD5' file. I tried multiple versions as well..
Then I realized even though the computer would say Odin was
'Not Responding' I continued to wait, and finally it loaded the MD5!
So I went ahead and tried going back to stock, but when I did
every stock MD5 file causes my device to close
Google Play, Google Location, and SystemUI rapidly...
I was able to get my original Recovery in there and restore a backup,
but I'd really like to try and go back to stock for a bit and start fresh.
What the heck in the world is going on with my phone?!
I thought Odin was my safety net, here to help me, but
instead I'm getting more and more hassle trying to get it workin'...
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just tried flashing MK6 using Odin
(MK6 came on my phone originally)
and I get the same issue..
Everything I try ends up failing..
Egads!​

What firmware are you on? What version of Odin are you using? Perhaps try using a different version. Also use original usb cable not universal one. Seems to make a difference.

So the flash was successful but when booting up u get FC's correct? If that is the case then I would guess it's because u didn't wipe data/factory reset preflash. Doing this from recovery should solve ur problem if I understood u right

So Odin doesn't wipe / factory reset
on its own?
The first time I forgot to wipe but
every other time Im sure I wiped in
recovery before hitting up download
mode.
I did make a ROM using NC1
firmware and added KT kernel to
it. The ROM was a dud and that's
why I wanted a fresh start.

The way I understand it there are 2 types of Odin flashable fws: full wipe and no full wipe. Full wipe fws are the ones that come in separate parts, i.e. BL, AP, CP etc. and no full wipe fws are the complete tar.md5 files. I recently went back to stock to get a fresh start as well and had the same issue with FC's on boot up. Factory reset fixed it

wasn't able to fully wipe my S4?

They're all .md5's. One comes in 4 parts and the other all bundled in one. The latter, as has been my experience, does not wipe data

Well it sure didn't work last time I tried..
I can get the phone to boot but Wifi remains
locked in the off position and my baseband
remains at MK6 when I was trying to flash
the 4.4.2 NC1 build..
Could this be due to the KT kernel I
flashed before trying to restore?
I flashed the Kernel before all this
happened, then realized the kernel
dropped my wifi, so that's why I tried
restoring to stock, but the wifi still
drops on me after odin'ing back to
stock…

Ya that's what I used too. I just formatted all the individual partitions first using philz to be sure I got a clean start. Also, if u wanna try it, the leaked NC1 firmware that dropped right before the official OTA's came out, I think that was a 'full restore' fw as it came in 4 sections.

There is a boot.img inside the stock fw if I'm not mistaken, and that should overwrite anything you've done to /boot (where the kernel lives).

So if I understand this correctly I have a couple of options one of them being I do the full firmware update using the 4 files provided from the leak. Or somehow install the boot.img and that should fix the wifi drop issues?
