Hello everybody,
I flashed today the Polish 4.4.2 and on every boot the phone starts off by giving me an error that "com.android.phone" has stopped working and for a while it's a bit laggy and sometimes Settings crashes too. My IMEI is alright and I also tried fixing by factory reset from both Settings and recovery. I reflashed many times and even tried the XEH Hungarian ROM which has the same problem. This was starting to get really infuriating so I flashed CWM (thus tripping Knox) and tried flashing this zip but to no avail. What's interesting is that if I remove the SIM card I don't receive the error anymore and the phone works as it should speed-wise. Also while having my SIM in the phone I noticed that it also takes a while before it manages to connect to my PC right after booting and when I try without the SIM then it connects much faster.
Other then going tomorrow to my carrier and changing my SIM what else do you recommend me to do?
Thank you for your time!

Did you dirty flash and keep data intact? if so you'll need to wipe and reflash, as KK has a different file system and can cause issues.

I already mentioned I reflashed and wiped countless times. At the moment I'm actually thinking of trying the Netherlands ROM.

You stated you factory reset, not wiped, the difference is data. - You could always trying wiping /system - but you'll need the PIT file incase you mess up the partitions, - Reflash it after a /system wipe. (PIT file is your fall back just in case) - If you're unsure about wiping /system then have a good read up on it, once you're confident then give it a shot, if not then don't try it.

I formatted /System, /Data, /Cache and /SDCard from CWM, after that rebooted in Download Mode and now I'm flashing again the ROM. If this doesn't work then I'm attempting the Netherlands ROM even though it's CSC is different then the Hungarian and Polish ROM.
Later edit: After another flash it still crashes. I'm going to try now the Netherlands ROM since it's been downloaded.
Later edit 2: Same story as before I wiped/formatted /System, /Data, /Cache and /SDCard from CWM, then flashed in Odin 3.09 the Netherlands PHN ROM and I still get crashes when it's booting. Tomorrow (it's technically today since it's 2:30AM lol) I'm getting another SIM. Hope this will be the solution still if anybody has any idea what else I can do I am more then welcome to hear your ideas.
It seems changing my sim solved the issue, which is odd because the old sim wasn't even old enough. Out of this whole ordeal I lost my Knox 0x0 status and 12$ for a new sim. Thank you Samsung for implementing Knox and making my life easy!

Nice, the typical "I messed up my device, but I am not at fault. The manufacturer is responsible" attitude.
I'm sorry, I wish I could help you
Can anyone help me please? I've never had an problems upgrading or downgrading my old Galaxy S2. I got a Galaxy S4 last year and it was running perfectly.
A couple of days ago, I was backing my phone up through Kies and it said an update was available. I didn't use Kies to update my phone though as I wanted to back up my data first. I disconnected from the laptop and did an OTA upgrade.
Huge mistake!
Since the upgrade, my phone keeps locking up/freezing. The gallery app freezes constantly. If I try to attach a photo to a Fabecook post, it freezes my phone and in all cases, the only way out is to restart my phone.
This update has left my phone worse than useless. I can't do anything on it without it freezing.
I've tried factory reset quite a few times. I've wiped cache partition a few times. I've taken the SD card out. Nothing works.
I've read that the new bootloader renders it impossible to downgrade.
If I find an official 4.3 Jellybean firmware, will I be able to revert back to Jellybean by flashing it through Odin?
Otherwise, I'm stuck with a phone that no longer works.

If you flashed your 4.3 will activate Knox reading your warranty and your phone will now be invalid
4.4.2 is very good for me
Obviously when you have something wrong

Does this mean I'm stuck on 4.4.2? I really want to go back to 4.3 as that was stable.
Do you know anyway to fix it please? I use my phone constantly for work. I can't use it as it is.

You can go back to 4.3 but you will lose your warranty as I told you
4.3 It is possible with custom kernel or full custom rom

So it's possible to download original 4.3 firmware from Sammobile or somewhere else and flash that? I'm scared of bricking my phone.

If you flash stock ROM by Sammobile or Samsung Updates
you have problems with the modem, Wi Fi,calls
You can avoid these problems as flashing custom kernel

Thank you all.
I think I've fixed the problem without having to downgrade.
First of all I formatted the SD card, I switched my phone off, removed the SD card and restarted it. Then I did a couple of factory resets, turned the phone back off and reinserted the SD card.
I think with it having a complete wipe of everything, it fixed the problems with the phone lagging and freezing constantly.
So far, so good.

Hi guys, I am new here, I am now finding help anywhere about my Note III recent problem...
My note III is SM-N9005 Malaysia version, I did root it with CF Auto Root and I had been using it without problems until yesterday morning,
This is my case :
I realized my alarm was written "Clock has been not responding" and I lost my network service, then I tried to restart my phone,
Since I restart, it became worst, my phone went into boot loop and sometimes freeze on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen,
But in a few times of reboot, it will be able to boot into homescreen, but still no service for the network, and everything processes work extremely slow, even freezing and crashing!
What I tried to do to fix it :
-I went to the Samsung service center, and the technician said that my warranty is voided (Ofcourse I knew it), and he told me that this problem is due to software problem instead of hardware.
-I did flash my kernel with stock kernel again which was downloaded from Sammobile, but it did not fix my problem,
-And I tried to hard reset and factory reset of my phone, it did not help too,
-I am also tried to clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot the device, it didn't seems working...
I have already done what I could but I still yet to fix my phone, what should I do now, any experts can guild me?? T^T
Thank you

I didn't really know about EFS while I root my phone, I just knew it recently due to my current issue, so I didn't backup it....
Is there any other solution??? Or could I recover my EFS eventhough I didn't do a backup??
BTW, thx for reply~

check your internal card or sd card for a folder called Backups or something similar, if your running a custom rom normally EFS is automatically stored there if your custom rom does do EFS backup automatically at install....if not do a search on the forum for EFS RECOVERY or re-flash your rom it may help or may not, but im sure it wont though...
also read though the link i sent you there maybe some think there that may help you

Thanks guys for the replies
-I went for a search for the backup folder in either of the storage mentioned by I didn't see a file called "backup"... I think I deleted it since the factory reset I've done yesterday, I went to many forums hat talk about EFS, and it wont help my problem cos all of them are talk about "Backup/recover", where I didn't backup my EFS earlier...
-I tried for the IMEI code, that's the reason I know about EFS, it shows "null/null", and most the information are showing unknown, such as baseband version, IMEISV, IP Address, Bluetooth Address.
-My current situation is whatever I flash into my phone, it just wont help, the problem didn't improvise at all...
Thanks..

download Stock firmware from sammobile or samsung updates
turn phone off, boot into recovery mode wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
turn phone off, boot into download mode
use odin v 3.09 load your downloaded firmware into AP, check update boot loader box, don't check anything else and click start.
once it finishes flashing, it will reboot by itself.
if it fails then you might want to repeat the process above one more time.
if still fails u might want to do emergency recovery via kies.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Hi guys, I think have some new clues to determine my problem now
I flashed a custom recovery into my phone this morning,
and I realise that my /system, /efs and /firmware-modem is unmounted,
I tried to mount them, it was successful, but when I reboot the device, the problem still there,
Boot loop, no IMEI, no Baseband Version, Lag Processes,
and I went back to recovery again, I realised they have been unmounted again...
Any idea what is the problem guys??
Thx

Hi there,
I have tried the kies emergency recovery method, but it was unsuccessful,
My note 3 was connected to the kies, but when I run Emergency Firmware Recovery,
My device was instantly disconnected with kies
And I have also tried the Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation,
The Kies showed me that my device is not supported with initialisation...
Anything I should do??
Thx

Hi All,
Samsung Galaxy note 3 displays after restarting the phone this message-
"Unfortunately the process com.google.process.location has stopped."
Could you please help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
i have same problem.
i try Wipe Data/Factory Reset my note, and normal. but after i activate KNOX this problem come again, and after restart always show.
It is probably best for you to reflash your firmware as you may have a "bad" upgrade/update. There are a lot of "solutions" for this, you can Google them but most of them doesn't really work. Just backup the things you need and reflash through odin.
Hi Guys Thank you for the nice replies
However I could fix this problem by doing a factory reset.
I think the problem was happened due to activation of Knox.
But thank you for giving nice ideas and I wanted my factory OS without any problem and I didn't prefer to root my device at all as it's still new with the warranty.
:good::good::good::good::good:
I hava a Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 and yesterday i rooted it and installed CWM 5.X.X.X
but now it keeps randomly crashing, it happened while browsing, while using snapchat and watching photos but also while just watching home screen.
When it crashes it freezes for a moment and then shows samsung logo and after a while it is back up and shows my unlock screen wich i dont have to fill in my Pincode like i have to do when i reboot or boot my phone manualy.
I have updated CWM to 6.0.4.7 but still it is crashing
I am running stock 4.4.2 android only CWM and SuperSU
I have searched for a similair problem but couldnt find anything
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
I also had such an issue. It happened to me only after installing viper4android on the stock rom.
Deleting the app didn't help.
You will probably have to re-flash the stock rom via Odin. Or change to a custom rom..
I did reroot it flashed stock rom still freezing and rebooting.
I just want to keep 4.4.2 wit root access.
Any other way than achieve this beside cwm with SuperSU?
You need to delete Knox. That's the reason you are experiencing reboots. Afer you root you have to delete Knox.
Get the Knox removal script from here and flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507931
CWM is totally unrelated to your random reboots.
Thank I will try this tomorrow.
Although when I first booted my phone after rooting it asked something about disabling Knox.
Disabling and deleting are two different things
Good to hear that still got hope
I hope you did a full wipe before re-flashing stock rom, right?
Doing a dirty flash will not help you much.
Yes full whipe factory reset dalvik cache data files, all even formatted my SDcard
