S5 Randomly Rebooting - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Last night i was using my S5 (G900i - Australia/Telstra) and i accidentally ended the 'SAMSUNG Keyboard' from the task manager. After killing it, i wasn't able to use the keyboard again (Text box would display a message "Please open keyboard"). A few seconds later my phone started restarting. It would restart every few seconds. I've tried wiping to factory, clearing cache and clearly Dalvik data. At the moment the phone is Rooted, it has PhilZ Touch [klte CWM Advanced Edition] and All Backs Black S5 Theme. How do i fix this problem? Also i'm trying to download the stock ROM for my phone and it's taking hours, so if it's possible could someone recommend me a link?
Thanks in advance

[Q] Verizon Tab won't perform factory reset

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 and I woke up today and it was missing some programs that I had installed the night before. Launcher pro keeps crashing so I had to put the Samsung Launcher back on. Now random programs all keep crashing and locking up the device. I performed a factory reset through settings -> privacy -> perform factory reset.
It restarts and goes to the samsung bootloader and I performed wipedata/factory reset.. It says it does it but when it restarts its in the same condition as before.
I've booted directly to the bootloader and tried it too (volume up and power key). I've also tried to wipe cache with no luck..
Any ideas? Can I root it and put a custom rom on it? I saw that there really aren't any roms for the Verizon tabs.. Any reason why?
Thanks for any help..
I just did a restore with all the stock verizon firmware using heimdall and it flashed and everything went through properly..
I booted into recovery and wiped data/cache and restarted...
SAME THING! It will NOT wipe out my existing data.. It restarts with all of my old programs installed and NOTHING will work.. The OS is hosed. How can I wipe this thing back to factory??

Same Issue

I changed my passwords on Facebook, Twitter and Gmail. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped bringing up my information.
Need help!
Same to me...

Could anyone solve this issue?

I'm in the same boat..half my apps crash when you try to open them. I've wiped the data partition 3 times, and the cache as well..not avail. Apps are still on the device after a master reset!

I had that problem, and I wound up sending it back to Samsung. It appeared to be a bad part on the board, so they replaced it and it's on its way back now. Not the answer you want, I'm sure, but call it in and get your RMA number.

On your new Tab can you perform a hard reset and have it actually work?
my sprint Tab seems to be in the same boat

Galaxy s4 Framework problem

Hello,
A few hours ago, the 3 minitframework app had a message that said that my framework was out of date, so I downloaded the 3.2 version (wich is the app version), flashed it and my phone started to reboot itself over and over again. I tried reseting setting, wiping chache and dalvyk cache and also flashing back the old framework but nothing seems to work. I also tried rebboting into safe mode but when my phone is in the main screen, it reboots itself again and again.
Please help me with this issue cause I dont now what to do.

[Q] Galaxy S4 Google + other Issues - memory wipe doesn't help

Hello!
Please help, this is driving me insane.I've had a galaxy S4 for almost a year now. I had it rooted and ****ed around with it a bit, it was all good. Then I was running low on space and got a disk checker or whatever it's called to show me how my space was being used. A lot of it was in caches. I downloaded a file manager and went on a cache deleting spree. One of the caches I deleted was google. Ever since that day everytime I start my phone:
Samsung Link has stopped
Dropbox has stopped
Google + has stopped
Google search has stopped
The phone in general just worked extremely ****ty.So I decided today that it was time for a factory reset. I run it, all good. The phone restarts in factory settings.. and I get the exact same error messages. ?So I decided that I would do the hard reset. Shut it off, volume up + home + power, wipe/delete all data. EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHAT?How is that possible? I wipe my phone completely and end up with the same problems? How do I reinstall the OS? Since I'm going to be uninstalling the OS completely (probably the only solution to my problems), is there anyway to get a nice clean OS? And not the one full of bloatware from my carrier? I really just want to start over from a fresh OS.
I also tried just running a software update, but I got the error message 'this phone has been modified and cannot be updated'. I guess that's because it's rooted..
Thank you for your help

[Q] Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

I'm a root user, Titanium Backup installed and that's the second time i flash Android 5.0 and after a while i got this error. Tried factory reset, wipe data, wipe cache/dalvik and didn't worked out.
Tried entering in Safe Mode and the error is persistent.
Is there something i can do?
I'm using GalaxyS4 Settings for Froyo~JB (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ion.setting) and with it i'm able to got into some of my settings, but the stock app doesn't work by itself.
Is there some way of flashing the stock Settings app again?
Another weird thing is that my SPen does not take screenshots anymore and that only happens with Android L (5.0).

Unfortunately Phone has stopped

Hello everyone,
I woke up this morning and my phone, not flashed or messed with has this annoying error "unfortunately phone has stopped" and it won't go away, i keep pressing OK but it comes right back(less than a second). I went to application manager and stopped all 3 "Phone" icons under all applications and cleared data. I have a galaxy s5, Can anyone please help me with this issue? I don't get incoming calls or anything.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks
Try each step, and move on to the next if first step doesn't work.
1- Turn off the phone and pull the battery
2- boot to recovery and clear cache
3- boot to recovery and clear cache and factory reset ( back up your apps and files!)
4- download stock firmware and flash via Odin or just install Samsung kies3 and do a fresh ROM install (erases everything, backup first)

I had a similar thing happen to me today. Clearing the cache did not help. What helped, which I came about by chance, was to click OK and immediately open the PHONE app. BTW, I have the galaxy S5 running Lollipop.

Thank You very much. I had the same problem today and your suggestion fixed it.
Glad I didn't have to do a factory reset. Clearing cache didn't work.
Must be a lollipop bug.

Thanks for the tip! I had the EXACT same problem tonight with my stock T-Mobile Galaxy S5 running Lollipop. T-Mobile Support went straight to the Factory Reset card, which I didn't want to do, so I tapped OK to dismiss the message and then quickly tapped the phone app to start it up before the message came back. So far, the message hasn't returned.
I'm seeing lots of reports of this error in a lot of forums, most of them occurring in the past few days. I'm wondering if there's been an update or something causing this problem. It seems to crop up on different devices and different carriers.

I had this when I woke up this morning and couldn't do anything at all as it pops back up before I lift my finger from the OK button.
Managed to finally get the phone icon clicked and the phone app opened behind the stupid error dialog- pressed OK again and actually get to use my phone now!
Thanks so much!
