Well today I went full retard and decided to modify the build.prop and change the DPI to 200 from 480. Now whenever I turn on my phone it alternates between two pop ups taking up the whole screen. One of them says "unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and the other says "unfortunately, touchwiz home has stopped". I cant do anything on my device apart from changing the volume and pressing "OK" on the messages. I have access to the stock firmware but I dont particularly want to wipe my phones data. I have already tried using adb but cannot as the authorization window wont appear on my phone, meaning that my device remains unauthorized. I was hoping that someone here could provide me with a solution to this problem. Would it be possible to somehow extract the stock build.prob from the stock firmware and flash it onto my device?
Thanks in advance

I recently purchased an android phone used, and it was pre-rooted.
I'm trying to get it back to stock firmware, as I hit reset data and now it won't boot. I have do the volume-down key fastboot menu and the home+power recovery options, but I have no idea howto restore it to original firmware from Rogers.
When plugging into the computer, it fails to properly install the usb drivers aswell, maybe because I cant boot the phone normally?
I'm really new at this, which is why I want to go to stock, thus I can relearn everything from scratch.
Also, on a side note, anyone know a place to get a replacement LCD screen, or a means of connecting the digitizer that has the ribbon-cable connection part of the lcd screen missing?
Cheers,
Bobbo
I would suggest you download the original rom and then load the original SW using recovery. Press "home and the start button and hold until the recovery menu comes up.
As for installing the ADB, you may not have installed the proper USB driver.....
check to see if your computer recognises the phone....
If not, you can manually install the USB driver.
Awesome, managed to finally restore the original Rogers firmware.
Now I'm getting an error when I try and launch the phone. android.process.acore stopped.
I can get text messages and wifi works, but the phone app crashed each time I try and load it. Any ideas?
OK, so today I decided to update my Galaxy S firmware via Kies as it was now available for Vodafone customers. All seemed to go ok, got to the final screen on Kies where it says completed, phone will reboot when firmware update completed. However it never did reboot, the menu and back button lights just lit up and stayed on for ages.
Now the phone would only boots to the Galaxy S start up screen and get stuck.
I decided to go into recovery mode and do a factory reset which sort of helped. The phone boots up into Andorid but only to the 'Welcome to GT-I9000, touch the Android to begin'. Except the 'force close' messages keep popping up saying XXXX process has stopped unexpectedly, and pressing the 'touch android to begin' doesn't do anything (more force close errors pop up). After a while the force close errors stop, but pressing 'the Android' does nothing.
If I plug the USB cable in it is recognised and I can choose Samsung Kies/Mass Storage mode on the phone. However, if I press Samsung Kies and fire up Kies it just gets stuck on 'connecting'. Nothing shows up on on the phone though.
Any ideas on what to do next? Flash firmware with Odin?
Any help would be much appreciated, really don't want to have to send it back to Vodafone
Have you tried unplugging the battery from the device and leaving it for a while and restart it. It may work out....
I've flashed it to JM8 now and is working okish.
I installed the project voodoo lag fix and now I can't sign into my gmail or facebook account which is slightyly irritating . Worked fine before, any ideas why it comes up with "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"?
I'm using wifi to connect to the internet, full signal, worked fine in same place before etc. Internet works fine so it suggests the connection is ok. Any ideas?
I had this issue yesterday and resolved it by doing a factory reset in the settings app. For some train the recovery mode reset doesn't reset the google link..

lex_87, did you ever resolve this? I've been having a tonne of issues since upgrading to the Vodafone-provided update that was released on 19/09, and after getting fed up with my phone crashing/panicking all the time, did a a factory reset from within the Settings menu. And now I've got exactly the same issue as you.
Really not sure what to do. If I flash it myself I'll end up voiding the warranty and if I send it back to Vodafone, I won't get a replacement for weeks, if not months, as they're out of stock.
Any help would be appreciated...
You need to re-enter your APN settings to get data to work again, Google for vodafone's APN settings.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem, but I didn't manage to enter in to the setup mode in order to do a factory reset. Can you please tell me how can I access factory reset? The phone never recover from a black screen and a few buzz.
Thanks.
Before I start: The info. SM-G530AZ still on 4.4.4. KitKat. Rooted. Basically I was being stupid and decided to change my lcd density from 200 to 160 or 180 i cant remember when i rebooted it says "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped" everytime i press ok 3 seconds later it comes back up nothing happens when i press the apps on the home screen the app drawer doesnt work the notification bar doesnt work. The only things ive seen work holding the power button down and changing sound. ive heard about adb but not sure if it will work because my phone doesnt display whenever i connect it to my computer any flashables or alternate fixes would help plz i need this UPDATE i have adb but it wont work when i try to pull the file it is connected though
basic rundown.....im rooted (was)..... today i made a phone call and ironically the xda app kept crashing and asking me to send a report....which i denied. Then it just kept popping back up, i then went to end the call and couldnt even access my "phone" app, i therefore restarted the phone. when it it booted back up, it was stuck on verizon boot logo, with a vibrate then double vibrate....but no advancement. I therefore accessed the factory reset, wiped my phone, and it booted successfully. However, the bare minimum apps were installed, not even a browser app, no chrome or anything...i therefore decided to return to stock following the odin/vzw files and encountered a major problem.....my phone wont accept the odin flash, i keep getting an error. my phone continues to boot into recovery and continuously fails odin flashes....any ideas???? my phone at the moment either gives me and update failed screen and to use the verizon update software or can enter "download" mode which then refuses to flash any stock image in odin.

Try using another version of odin, usb cable, etc...
I had a similar issue, I had to download the Software Upgrade Assistant tool from verizon to get it to work
I think this is the direct link you'll want
edit: if you put it in download mode, it should show up under repair, relevant link
Solved: the Verizon software repair assistant got me back up and running. Many thanks.
it's been a week that i'm searching for a solution and i couldn't find anything and even any thread that could solve my situation probably becouse it's specific and with various weird problems.
frist of all i have a rooted rom for the SM-G531FX (android 5.1.1) and i can't remember wich model was before rooting it but i was a very similar code changing probably from G531FX to G530F?. but everything was ok i rootend my phone with no problem.
the real problem started like this:
i've changed the dpi of my phone using Root Essential changing it from 240 to 180.
immediatly after changing it the screen became with only the default background and nothing else, no icons, no notification bars, nothing, just a popup that said "unfortunately settings has stopped working".
the only thing i could do was swithing off the phone, (obviously the "reset" "switchoff" "airplane mode" was at loer dpi)
restarting it changed nothing and the phone still remain with the background with only the possbility of swithing it off.
the volume popup won't display but i could tell that the phone still works perfectly under the display becouse i recived messages (from telegram and whatsapp not normal messages becouse i couldn't use the display so i can't put the pin code to enter the phone so i removed the simcard) and also the volume controllers works.
so i decided to searching how to change the dpi from the pc.
i found that Adb could do it so i plugged in but unfortunately not worked, the phone remained in "unauthorized" state and i could not change the build.prop.
i started panic a bit so i wiped the cache from recovery mod.
After doing it i realized that i did a big mistake, now i can't connect usb in debug mod becouse of that.
i decided to reflash the rom i had use to rooting it thinking that could solve the problem.
midflashing odin had an error and the rom din't finished, it was stuck and i unplugged the phone from the pc and obviously the phone gave me an error in download mod (don't remember the error but was the one talking about Kies to solving the problem)
panic increasing couse i never had those types of problems.
i decided to flash the rom in Bootloader instead of AP in odin, that solved the problem of the error (later i found out that even in AP would have solved the problem)
i thought that wiping everything could have been the solution at that point so i restarted in recovery the phone but i could not access it probably becouse the previous BL flash, the phone stay with the Galaxy grand prime logo and on top in red "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". well done me
so i thought about reflashing a stock rom and found a rom w ww. sam mobile. co m / firmwares/galaxy-grand-prime/SM-G530FZ/WIN/download/G530FZXXS1BQC2/131851/ that pretty much fits my phone as i remembered the phone model, it was also an italian rom (i'm from italy) and with my very same phone company (WIND).
and finally odin fail flashing the rom so i remain with a phone with no acces to recovery, that boots normally but can't use the display becouse of just a value.
hope you could help me
thanks
Try to flash stock ROM of your phone with AP on Odin and the problem will be gone
