My phone keeps telling me that the UI has stopped working. Is there any way to fix this problem? I tried to flash the firmware and no change.

Do you have any mods or you running stock?
UI stopped working [galaxy S4 ]
it was rooted, I had downloaded a root manager, while I was checking it out a button got activated then when I rebooted I started getting
the message that the UI stopped working. All the apps seem to work except the voice app. The message comes up every few moments.

Without knowing much more it's hard to say what steps you should now take.
What ROM/Version were you on originally?
You said you tried to flash frimware - which one(s) and how?
How did you root your phone? (CF Autoroot?)
what 'root manager' did you download?

Hmmm I feel like when you trying your root explorer you added something to the framework. Have you tried wiping only cache and dalvik cache?

Ok,
So how did you get to where you're 'pimped'.
use CF-Autoroot and then just 'Pimp My Rom' app"?
use the stock rooted rom zip? Then the app.
Flash a custom ROM with the app?
What 'root manager' are you using or talking about.
Where or what did you start with before the error/FC?
I'd say if you have a custom recovery to just reflash the stock rooted ROM (odex or deodexed - where ever you actually started from) and see if that clears it up.

I started by getting the download from chainfire. it was the CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720. After running this through oden my phone was rooted. I then downloaded Titanium Backup and ran it to backup all the files, at least I thought it backed it up. I then downloaded PIMP MY ROM. It was while I was exploring that app that I did something somehow, and now I just keep getting the repeating message, my UI has stopped working. I have tried using the CF-autoroot again but it did not make any difference. I found a file that is named Titanium Backup, but I can't seem to get it to do anything. I really appreciate your help on his issue, other wise this thing would end up in the trash.
A very simple thing to to would be (since you're already on MF9) is to use the Full Odin .tar file.
To go back to complete stock MF9 go here download one of the full .tar(s) (they're zipped) and use in PC Odin PDA slot. Check the MD5s of course. Don't check repartition of course.
Load it into PC Odin in the PDA slot and flash it.
That will take you back to factory stock MF9. (you may have to pull battery if you get stuck at yellow Sprint screen).
Then use the CF-Autoroot method to gain root.
Then use goomanger to grab the latest CWM or TWRP recovery - so you have a way to flash stuff.
Then if you'd like download Titanium Backup you can restore your phone logs or whatever - Just do not restore system settings.
Or if you already have a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) go download the stock ROM zip from crawrj's post (Choose you poison - Odexed or deOdexed, Rooted or not, wipe data or no wipe data.
(He does have .tars too to use in Odin.!)
Copy to your SD card, reboot to recovery and flash that.
It'll get you back to stock.

I just bought my Epic 4G a few days ago and quickly discovered the existence of rooting and custom ROMS. Needless to say I took the plunge the other day.
I attempted to install the Epic Experience Froyo yesterday but it doesn't seem to load up properly.
Seemed simple enough. I boot into clockwork, I cleared data/factory cache, cache partition, and davnik cache three times each. I installed the ROM from my SD card, install says it's successful, so I hit the reboot.
After this I expect my new rom to load up but all that happens is the samsung logo comes up for about a minute, phone reboots again and goes into the factory Android system recovery utility.
Any ideas? Please help, my phone is inoperable at the moment.

Sounds like kernel. Dl a costume kernel and flash it thru cwm.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I'll have to apologize ahead of time because I'm completely new to rooting.
Which kernel should I use (a link to one with instructions would be helpful), and how do I get it on my SD card if it isn't booting up? (my pc doesn't have an SD card reader)
Did you first use odin to install the DK17 modem and kernel through odin? That might be the step youmissed because if you just flashed straight from stock 2.1 to epic experience you need the updated froyo modem and kernel. Check here if you're still confused.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
So, flash Odin/DK17 and then flash Epic Experience over this?
Ya also did you first do the one click root method to make sure you are definitely rooted? If you press. Volume down + camera button + power when booting and the letters are blue you are NOT rooted. If they are green then you are rooted. Sometimes when you install a rom it might take away your root so you might try doing it in the order of this:
1. Flash back to stock 2.1
2. Do theone click root method
3. Flash DK17 modem through odin
4. Install Epic Exprience

I went straight from 2.1 to 2.2 firmware without using odin or anything of the sort. Will I notice a difference? If so what difference will it make and can I just install DK17 modem and kernel or do I have to revert back to 2.1 first?

Hm that is interesting. When i first made the mistake of going from to a 2.2 rom without upgrading the modem my cell & data service wouldn't work. It kept looping on and off and would not stick. Maybe it depends what rom you went to as maybe some require the modem as mandatory and others do not? I am not sure. But if its working for you, you should just be able to flash the DK17 through odin without going back to 2.1.

Go to settings -> about phone and then check where it says "Baseband version" it should say DK17 in there. If it doesnt follow these instructions to download the files you need. It has step by step directions
http://www.nomie.mobi/how-to-install-dk17-modem-samsung-epic/
I assume this is the rom you flashed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856715
In the first post it has a link to the instructions to properly flash the rom. You can use those instructions to flash the modem and see if it fixes your problem. You might be better off just flashing everything again. It would mean downloading odin and the files to your pc and flashing them to your phone from your pc. The simplest way to do this is follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Follow the instructions carefully and when your done you have the new modem, the froyo rom, clockwork recovery, and be rooted.
I was at the site earlier but when i click the dl link it takes me to some wordpress and tells me registration is currently not allowed then asks for a username and password
@Raylusk can i do this method even if i am running the 2.2 firmware? Or would i have to revert back to the original is so how do i do it?

I actually skipped step 2 and everything went fine for me. My laptop was being an asshole and not seeing the phone, so the 1 click root script simply wasn't working.. but then I realized that the DK17 flash via Odin that I got form the epic experience thread included clockworkmod and was pre-rooted and everything so I saw that step as unnecessary.
So i just installed the freegs4 rom and i have done everything according to the forums including reverting my twrp installer and it installs and works just fine until i have to restart the device. As soon as the device is restarted it freezes at the samsung splash screen and i have to wipe the rom again and reinstall. Ii can use it until i have to reboot then it same thing all over again

When it freezes on that first reboot, try a battery pull and see if it will boot. If it doesn't, try another battery pull.
Mine actually did that a few times too (freeze on the SAMSUNG screen after first reboot).

So i got my phone replaced and installed the software on it and im no longer having the issue i stated above but i do have a new issue with the call recording. I installed it through the aroma installer and then used update me to install it manually like i was reading in the thread. Everytime I try to make a call (with out even pressing the record button) the screen goes black and there is some call recording icon in the left hand side of the status bar. soon after this i get an error that says com.android.phone has stopped. I have tried to reinstall stock with out call recording but it keeps doing it as if the call recording is there. Am i forced to reset and reinstall the rom?
You might want to give Highway55's MF9 ROM a shot. It has the wifi hot spot mod *and* the status bar toggle already built in. I wrote lengthy post on 9/26 detailing my experience with Highway55 along with the simple steps I took to implement the additional mods that I wanted (including call recording).

I think the FreeGS4 ROM has its own AGAT custom kernel. So I don't think you want to do that...
And I've had a few issues with V3.0.0 myself. I just downgraded back to V2.0.0

Hey guys,
I've known about this whole modding thingy going on for android phones, and i've decided to give it a shot myself.
I took a backup of everything (copied everything.. didn't use any app for that. not too smart of me..)
Anyway,
I looked around and decided to install Hells Core kernel on my phone, along with Cyanogen Mod.
So after installing the SDK on my computer, unlocking the phone, rooting the phone with SuperSU and Clockwork Mod,
I got to installing the kernel.
I put it on my phone, rebooted into recovery mode, reset all data (dalvik cache and all..)
then I installed the kernel from a zip file I put on the phone, and it all went smoothly.
However, when I reboot my phone - it's all messed up!
The screen is all half yellow, and half is just black - not even text.
In the yellow part, you can hardly tell that it's the first welcome screen - because the text is too big to fit the screen.
Anyway, the whole phone is fk3d up.
I just wanna put it back to the original stock kernel and rom...
How do I do that now?
Thanks a lot guys..
This is urgent >_<

when I copy the other kernels zip's, everything seems okay
but when I reboot my nexus to install from the recovery mode, the zip are corrupted - and when I access from my computer it shows they're 0 bytes.

What can I do ???

Not getting anywhere near Hellscore now..
What I did was run 'install zip from sideload', and then from the pc I used 'adb sideload <FRANCOROCKS>.zip', and that worked

Because you did all this the wrong way. Learn and study before flashing anything, it's not about some simple zip flash. that simple zip file can brick your phone if flashed without knowledge.
hells core kernal is not a CM based kernal that's why you got broken screen. there is a separate thread for cm based kernals. do flash a custom rom like Mahdi slimkat etc they offer great features but only after fully understanding what you are doing

Well, I flashed the kernel before I put the ROM, so this happened with HC kernel on stock ROM.
:X
you probably flashed the wrong version of the kernel
You did get the CM Version of Hells Core, right?
This happens to me all the time, just reflash the Roms .zip and you'll be fine.
Sorry to say that, but from your comments it's obvious that you messed up with wrong kernel's version and is not a fault of this specific kernel.
Also the zero kb downloads show bad downloads on your side again.

They go through the entire process and say sucessful. But then they say "unable to mount '/system," and "unable to mount '/systemorig."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh hell, now it wont even let me restore my backup. It was before. When i try now it says E: Unable to mount '/system. 5 times. Ugh. This blows. Cant reboot either. tells me no os installed.

Did this on my tablet formatted the system and my internal memory on accident. Try downloading via a computer or tablet or other phone a ROM onto a Micro SD card then flash your ROM that way, that's what I had to do hopefully that will work for you. Sounds like your running with no ROM installed at all and you might of erased or corrupted your back up. Good luck!

SS 3.72. I took the nc4 OTA. I used towel root, the newest version of chainfire supersu, installed busy box, then I installed SS 3.72. Everything worked great. I read that romslots will not work in 3.72 so I did a backup and i've tried to install Hyperdrive, Jelly beans (which i learned will not work since its 4.3 based BUT it still installs), and Eclipse. They all install but do not boot at all. Restoring my backup works fine though,

That is pretty much what i am encountering as well. I have stock backed up and i can boot into that if i need to but installing another rom on the stock slot or slot 1 is fine but the problem is booting. It will go up to the screen where it shows safestrap screen and then i just get a blank black screen. I left on for over 10min and nothing.
I got slot 1 to work by toggling the memory allocation to maximum. I believe it is unsupported at this point 3.72? somewhere I read that. You can only install rom on stock slot at this time. I tried installing on both but nada.
The system not mounting I get as well but sometimes it lets me check it and sometimes it does not let me check it. Dunno why.
I had the system not mounting problem, I returned to stock with odin and I dont have that issue anymore. The only problem I have now is the roms not booting.
Bump.
Anybody find anything useful? Im still having the same issue.
Hi all Im a noob so apologies in advance as its the first time Ive rooted and used custom ROMS.
I rooted my phone a couple of months ago using ODIN, then successfully installed CM12.1 but found that this started to slow down and not perform well after a few weeks so I looked for other ROMs. In the end I installed BlissPop which is based on CM. This generally works really well but the software has been a big buggy as well with yesterday my main screen going black and not able to use the phone.
So ive been trying to install a different ROM and even tried to go back to the stock S5 firmware as i miss the camera in the stock firmware.
Now to install the ROMs Ive tried using CWM and TWRP with the same results.
Yesterday I tried to install The Galaxy Project ROM and the Stock Samsung ROM and in both cases made sure 100% i was using the correct version for my SM G900F .
What seems to happen is that it goes through the install process and says completed but when it boots it sits on the initial Samsung S5 boot screen and goes nowhere.
Since I rooted my phone on start up at this intial boot screen I get the below 2 messages at the top of the screen
Kernel is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warranty Bit Kernel
I'd like to add my phone is also encrypted as i had to encrypt it in order to use my gmail for work.
The only ROM that seems to work is BlissPop, i remember a message during installation of this ROM along the lines of "this install is block based" if that makes any sense.
Last week when i tried to install a new ROM on several occasions the phone would get to the first screen where it would ask me to unlock the phone but I would NOT be able to use the keyboard as no keyboard would appear.
This is driving me nuts so I really could do with some help please
Thanks Bart

flash stock - via cwm or twrp in recovery
reboot into recovery
factory reset at this point
see if it boots?

You can't flash stock from recovery, you flash stock with ODIN - if you can flash it from recovery, it's not stock
Latest G900F Lollipop Stock ROM (BTU United Kingdom)
Code:

Then boot into recovery and factory reset
ok well that could be my probllem
never flashed stock rom thru odin
do i set phone to download as normal , connect phone to pc and choose AP option in ODIN?
downloading the stock rom you sent a link for too
Yep, AP or PDA section in ODIN, same download mode method as anything else in ODIN
I assume that I don't need to extract the zip file and just select it to flash

Don't worry, we all learned from somewhere - as long as you ask before jumping in and bricking things, it's all good
Thanks appreciated
A side question but you can tell me to get lost if I'm taking the piss
I've got multiple g mail accounts, is there a file anywhere that saves all the credentials so that when I have to rebuild my phone for the umpteenth time I can restore this and not have to set each one up

If you have Google Backup enabled, it should restore your accounts and stuff once you log back into the main Google account your phone was logged into before you wiped/reset/reflashed I would assume (Not used it though)
arghhh bugger
so it seems to have flashed the rom correctly and booted.
however after boot as my phone is encrypted it asks me for my password to unlock the phone.
i put in my correct password but it doesnt accept it.
going round in circles - what can i do?
rebooted info recovery and factory reset it
now im in and looks like back to stock
will keep you posted
Im finally back in now
Thanks so much for your help
hopefully this runs better than the last stock rom as it started to seriosuly slow down hence looking at other roms
Good job
