Hi all,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. Here's the situation:
A few weeks ago, I updated and rooted my SGS4 to 4.4.2 using Odin. Worked alright, but kept getting random restarts. Did a factory reset, and all was good.
A few days ago, PlayStore had an update for SuperSU, so I applied it. The random restarts returned, so I considered doing a factory reset, but found that Titanium Backup wasn't allowing me to do any new backups because I had insufficient space. I didn't really - I had plenty of space. A little googling lead me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2675778
I followed the instructions, rebooted my phone, and was bombarded with [app] has stopped working right away. Thinking this was no good, and I had somehow messed something important up, I did a factory reset anyway with the hopes of just restoring back to my backups from a few weeks ago.
Things got even worse - I'm now stuck on the Samsung welcome screen, where it wants me to put in my wifi password, but Myscript Resource Manager keeps failing, making the keyboard disappear. I now have no way to get back into my phone.
The TL;DR version:
I factory reset my phone, but can't get past the 'Enter Wifi Password' part of setting it up becuase Myscript Resource Manager keeps failiing.
Things I've tried:
* Wiping Cache data
* Factory Resets (again)
* Reflashing my phone with the 4.4.2 update that worked for me a few weeks ago
Does anyone have any other ideas?
The only way was to reflash from Odin, fresh firmware. Download different version of your firmware, other than the one you stated. And reflash back with Odin, make sure your steps using Odin is correct.
Thanks for the reply. I finally got it working after my third time flashing it and formatting the cache a few times. Scary stuff!
Alas, the sporadic reboot still continues, so I'll have to work out how to fix that problem again now.
Thanks again.

I just had the same problem, spontaneously, from an unidentified source. Went to my carrier's, AT&T, local Device Support Center on a Sunday at noon, and one of the techs fixed the problem in under 3 minutes, impressively simply.
You will have to keep clicking OK when the error message repeatedly appears to continue with this process. That is normal.
Go to Settings > Application Manager > (scroll right to: ) ALL > (scroll down to: ) My Script Resource Manager (which should not be running) > Turn Off
Problem solved without Factory Reset. She impressed me and saved me a lot of time.

Hello XDA community, I'm panicking a bit and am new to this whole smartphone thing.
So, yesterday I got an LG G2 and spent the majority of the day downloading apps and whatnot. Today I asked some friends and got the phone rooted, installed Xposed and some Modules, and decided to give flashing a new Kernel a try.
I have the LG G2 VS980 (Verizon) and flashed Dorimanx's v6.8 kernel successfully after making a Backup in TWRP.
Upon going back to basic usage, I realized the Navigation Buttons were gone. All of them. I tried swiping up and down and all around, thinking that maybe the Xposed Tweaks may have done something to them, but nothing made them appear. Also, the default Weather Widget failed to load, originally attempting to load and then defaulting to a "Failed to load widget" generic window. I went to google the issue when I got a "LG Keyboard Failed to load" error.
I immediately went and restored my backup, but the issues were still present. I tried multiple Factory Hard Resets through TWRP and even attempted Flashing an older version of Dorimanx's kernel (before anyone asks, yes I was using the VS980 version), nothing helped. In my latest desperation attempt, I used TWRP to reformat the partitions, so now my backup is gone.
Now I'm stuck, because I can't get through the VZW Setup Wizard since I apparently can't connect to the Backup Assistant network (which apparently has something to do with EFS? I'm not really sure), can't skip it without Navigation buttons, and can't access Wifi without the keyboard to type in the password to my home network. I've been avidly googling for the past 2-3 hours, but no one seems to have my exact issues. Currently, I'm following this guide to return to complete stock, and hopefully if the problem persists I can return the phone under warranty.
Can anyone offer me some help/advice in the meantime? I'm really curious as to what happened and of course I'm panicking due to potentially losing a phone after 1 day (the salesperson kept pushing their insurance on me as well, which I denied repeatedly). After the restore and then factory reset, the phone should be fully stock (the settings support this, showing the original kernel/build/everything) yet the errors persist.
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT: Here's some more detailed info:
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version VS98024A...
Kernel version: 3.4.0-perf

Returning to stock will solve any software problems you might have. I understand why you had issues with xposed, I get them too sometimes. Its always best to flash your kernel first and then do your mods.
Hello everyone,
So here's my story: I got a 6P short after release and it's been amazing. After switching from a S6 I couldn't be happier until 3 days ago.
I was playing around with my phone (checking for updates on the play store if I recall correctly) and I was going to switch from 4g to wifi. I went ahead and pulled down my notification shade and went to press WiFi but misclicked and hit Hotspot which was below it. My phone suddenly froze big time and this is for the first time ever since purchase.
At first I thought I'd wait it out since the device was completely unresponsive, home button didn't work and neither did anything on screen. Buttons didn't make a difference either. 10 minutes went by and I ended up force restarting by holding down power + volume up. First part of my bootup went fine but when it got to the android boot animation after I put in my pin to allow the device to start it dropped from the smooth usual framerate down to 1 frame every 10-15 seconds and it slowed down further until it came to a complete halt around the time the android letters appear.
My first thought was corrupt rom so I went ahead and wiped data from the stock recovery. I was running completely stock with no modifications whatsoever. That didn't do anything. Phone still froze in the same boot phase. Desperate I unlocked bootloader to flash a clean fresh image to try to fix it and to my surprise that didn't change a thing.
As I was getting pretty desperate already I had one more idea and that was to flash up to the Dev preview. To my huge surprise it booted and I jumped from excitement. So I started setting up my phone again. I got past the prompt to insert sim card and I was now at the screen to choose a wifi network. As soon as I clicked into that the phone froze up again and at that point I lost all hope.
I wiped data in stock recovery and shut the phone down for the night. On day 3, today I woke up and tried starting the phone and it worked as if nothing had happened. I went through the setup and set up my phone on the N preview. At a certain point I was planning to go back to the latest official build but for now I was happy my phone was back from the dead. Later today I tried to restart my phone to clear all running apps etc and it froze up on boot.
I'm losing all hope that I'll be resolving this myself so I'm reaching out to the community to see if anyone's had this happen to them before and hopefuly for a solution. It's still under warranty so I can eventually send it back to the retailer but I'd rather not have a phone for 3 weeks.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you for reading through my long and probably pretty boring story!
Have you tried flashing the factory image? If yes, did you made sure to wipe/erase the system, boot, vendor, and cache partition before flash the corresponding img files?
To the OP, is there any reason you did not flash to release version 6 instead of Dev preview ?
Also, any reason you can not simply do the "unenroll" from https://www.google.com/android/beta ?
It will require you to setup certain settings again as you will be back to a "factory reset".

DJBhardwaj, i haven't specifically erased those partitions. I was under the impression wipe userdata along with reflashing did that. I will try that tonight when I get home!
Xdafly, I only updated up to N as a last resort because at first I had a locked BL. I was planning to unenrol but that would've been too late as it self bricked after a restart.

Well I just did the erase thingy and my phone booted but wifi won't turn on. Enabling hotspot doesn't brick anymore but I now suspect WiFi might've been the issue. Any tips on how to find out what it could be and possibly fix it?
Edit: 2 restarts and a factory reset later I'm back to bricked same way as before.
try safe mode

That was my first thought, that was the restart that bricked it again. Safe mode shouldn't have made a difference since I hadn't even logged into Google account for apps.
After reading the very first post; sounds like bad WiFi hardware.
All the hanging has been related to WiFi or Hotspot.
I think you should get a replacement

Is your phone rooted and did you install Xposed?
Over the weekend I shutdown my 6p (stock rooted with April security patch, Xposed v80) and charged it. When it turned it back up I kept getting "Unfortunately, nfc service has stopped". Long story short: I ended up factory reset my phone and reinstalled EVERYTHING and I still got into bootloop. Then I came across
https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/113
https://github.com/rovo89/android_art/issues/28
At the end of the second post rovo89 (developer of Xposed) fixed the bug in V83. I wiped my 6p once more and installed everything with v83. Problem solved.
Good luck!
Hey all,
I found few similar threads, but none of the solutions worked for me. So here's my situation
Problem : N910G Singapore Starhub, used for more than 1 and half years without major issues. Suddenly started to randomly freeze and then restart.
Got worse very quickly. Started to get freezed at Samsung logo. Most of the time had to remove the battery to re-try booting.
What I've done so far:
Cache cleared -> Didn't work
Factory reset -> Was ok with less lag (Freezing) for sometime, then same again
Installed TWRP. Flashed PIT file. Following an XDA post, flashed Samsung stock Android 6 released to India -> Was ok for couple days, was better than 5.1 in terms of responsiveness and battery life. After few days, again freeze. restart
Flashed with stock 5.1 released for the correct region. -> freezing, restarts. Wifi passwords are not getting saved (Have to re-enter upon restart). Restarts end up in download mode. very rarely passes the Samsung logo
Rooted and tried to change build prop ro.securestorage.support (or something similar) and see whether passwords are getting saved -> Still passwords are not getting saved. /efs is accessible.
Now the device never boots properly. Some apps are missing after restarts. Always ends up in download mode. Recovery is working fine though.
You guys have any idea what else I should try before throwing this away?
Thanks in advance.

If you know how, I'd use Odin to restore the factory image if you're running the factory software. Performing a hard reset is always the best way to go, however if you're still having problems then I'd download the latest firmware from Samsung's firmware site and then Odin.

Thanks for the reply Android Ninja. As the last resort, I did flash the correct stock firmware which I downloaded from Sammobile. But it didn't really fix the issue. So should I unroot and use Kies instead? Because I can't find a way to download the fireware from Samsung, if that's what u meant. thanks
This is a pretty weird one, so I'm gonna cut to the chase...
Several weeks ago I got my a new phone (Galaxy s7 Edge, AT&T, Qualcomm) and everything was fine. I'd never rooted a phone before and wanted to try it out, even though the Edge was still pretty new. After about 2-3 weeks of owning my phone, I followed a guide to root. The root only worked after a factory reset, so I lost my apps and pictures, but it wasn't a big deal because it was just a couple weeks' worth of stuff. Everything works fine for a month or so, and then most of the apps started crashing. Some, like Google Chrome or Spotify would work, but most didn't. All the services on my phone also stopped. I figured it was a problem with the root and said oh well and factory reset my phone. I set it up normally again and all was well. But then things got weird.
Now, after about 1 week, my phone will do the same thing as when rooted. First Snapchat stops working, followed by a multitude of other apps. Google Play store stops opening, I'm unable to install apps, and several core features of the phone just freeze up. If i try rebooting (how I discovered the issue), my phone gets stuck in a bootloop and I have to factory reset to work again. My phone did this again today after a few times so finally I'm coming here for help. I also recently discovered that factory resetting my phone from the settings app did nothing, as soon as I rebooted it went into a bootloop. So the only way to recover my phone is to factory reset from the recovery mode. It may also be worth noting that I used ODIN to flash the AP, BL, CP, and CSC stock firmware (G935AUCU1APB5 etc...) after I wanted to unroot. I have absolutely no clue what's wrong and any fixes or even an explanation would be greatly appreciated.
go into recovery and try cleaning the caches, there maybe stray bits of old code floating around.

Yeah I've done that a couple times. I went ahead and did it just now though so we'll see
Hi!
First: Sorry for any miss spelling.
I successfully installed Marsmallow on my device with a weird way, but I have a problem with it.
It turns on well and I can use it (no bootloop or freeze on HTC logo).
After a random amount time, it seemingly freezes and exactly 10 secs after, it restasts itself from the HTC logo.
First, my way of installing 6.0:
I experienced the 25% error when I first tried to install 6.0 with the legit OTA software upgrade with my Europe version M9 plus (I Don't remember it's original build number, but this is a European modell). So I started the trial/error way of upgrading.
First thing was, bootloader unlock, and factory reset through recovery.
Second was finding here on xda a RUU collection for this device here
And I downloaded this one:
0PK7IMG_HIAU_ML_TUHL_L50_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_1.85.401.6_Radio_1.1506V24P21.2005.0505_HT[W.T]_release_446584_signed.zip
I renamed and installed it with download mode.
I barely set it up, knowing what is my goal, and started OTA from there.
In short:
3 security update popped up for Lollipop, and then the first Marsmallow update.
It got through the 25% error, and installed without any problem, and with many update reboot.
After it booted, I checked if any more update was available and a second (security/bug fix) update popped up. (More on that later)
I did not updated thinking I got this far I might as well set it up (it is my daily driver).
I started to download my apps, but in the middle of it, freeze and automatic reboot.
I though it was okay, I continued the downloads and got into the settings to set that up... random freeze and reboot.
These happened random , not related to anything
I started to worry so I did that update.
After that, the problem remained, but less frequent and still seemingly unrelated.
What I tried:
Safe mode - nothing changed.
Factory reset - nothing changed.
First setup, then cache reset - nothing changed.
Keeping the phone's temperature low and monitoring it - nothing changed except it was cooler a bit of course.
Tried to block every possible app (even some system apps) without root access and using it a bit - nothing changed.
I tried these with the first 6.0 update as well.
This is where I need help. Any ideas what is the problem? I can post screenshots if needed.
I really like this phone despite the negative reviews and the lack of custom roms.
Thanks for every question and answer!
