Phone is Rebooting after rooting

I updated to gingerbread xwjvh and no problems there. I installed the modem file for my signal no problem there.
So i decided to root for the first time using CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-cwm3rfs
and now it's constantly rebooting non stop...please help very urgent

Did you do a factory reset and clear cache yet?

I think i fixed it...not sure if i did it right but all i did is put the phone back in download and used the recently released cf root for jvh....and it seemed to have calmed down...what i don't understand is what is the difference between the kernel and rom??

When I flashed JVB, I got a few FC's as I forgot to wipe data. Afterwards, no probs at all.

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] I want to factory reset

My phone is constatly freezing/rebooting andf the only option I see to fix this is to factory reset it. My question is this: I have a AT&T S4 MF3 with safestrap running a custom ROM. I am rooted obviously. Is there anything special I need to do?

Nope. Factory reset won't affect safestrap or root, just boot into safestrap and factory reset which ever slot you're running.

WiFi not connecting

Phone is rooted. Twrp recovery.
I have flashed Franco, stock, matr1x. Kernels and no luck.
The phone was always disconnecting from WiFi after 4.4.3 update. But one day it stopped and I usually restart to fix and nothing. From there, I started to try different Kernels. Nothing has worked.
I resorted to factory restore. And I did it twice. Nothing.
Weird thing is when I factory restored, my pictures were still there. Yes, I'm 100% I did a factory restore.
All my apps were deleted but just my photos were there. Is this some sort of twrp safety feature or something? I'm on stock rom.
It will scan WiFi but will not connect. Some WiFi isn't even shown. My works WiFi is not even listed yet, my house is.
I'm out of my high speed data and I'm now suffering 2g speeds and nightmare battery life from the data. Can someone help me?

On 4.4.4 stock rom rooted with twrp recovery.

Have you try the WIFI Fix?

I have. But I'll try again. So far I'm now 99% sure my WiFi is defective from a hardware point. . Completely flashed fresh stock 4.4.4 and 4.3. And reflashed 4.4.4 and nothing.

[Q] Factory Reset or Reflash?

My phone is getting old, and because of that some problems are emerging with age.
It turns out that whenever my phone starts to behave in an unsatisfactory way, I do a factory reset.
My question is, what is best, do a factory reset or reflash the rom? Or there isn't any difference? I'm on stock 4.4.4, without root or custom recovery (I like Android this way ) and never unlocked the device.
Would a fresh install solve occasional problems caused by the OTAs?
Sorry for the bad english.

If you haven't gotten your answer already, the best method to reset your phone to fix various issues is to factory reset your phone. This returns it to the complete default state of software, where all apps should be working. Flash a rom simply replaces the system partition with the system partition of the rom, and thus is not as complete as a factory reset.
Basically, if you're having issues with a stock rom, just factory reset it and it will get rid of most, if not all, issues.
