Yes a new rom should fix the problem!!
Or a reboot will fix the problem too!!

Thanks for the feedback.
I got an update from her. When I told her to do a hard reboot, she told me that it got stuck on the logo. I'm gonna check it out later. But if that'd be the case, what should I do then?

Okay, as of now, we're experiencing boot loop. I'm not able to access the phone settings. Is there a button combination I need to press in order for me to be able to access the "settings" Thanks

[Q] "com.google.process.gapps message wont dissapear

Hi everyone! I recently decided to install the 4.4.2 rom on my Galaxy Note 3 N9005 and I didn't like it because it obviously was buggy as ,entioned in the thread. So I wanted to go back to my nandroid backup which I had made before installing the rom. It all went right in CWM and no errors, so I rebooted my phone and got stuck at the glowing samsung logo, so after many fixes and things I tried which didn't work I flashed a pre-rooted stock rom for it and it all went well. I managed to restore to my nandroid finally and then I unlock my phone to find a "com.google.process.gapps has been stopped" message which wont go away when I tap "OK". It just comes back and gives me one second untill it comes back again. I really need help since I need my phone for work, I have tried reinstalling all the gapps, wont work, I have tried reflashing the stock rom and restoring my nandroid again, I have tried deactivating "Downloads" in the app manager but that wont fix it either and finally I have tried clearing the "app data" for all my apps but again, no luck. If anyone would be able to help me I would appriciate it very much. Thanks in advance!

You're probably gonna have to go back to complete stock. Grab your stock image and flash via odin, boot it up and see if it gives you the error without installing custom recovery and your backup. That way you'll know where the error lays.

Forgot to mention but when I return to complete stock there isn't such a message, only when I restore to my nandroid. I also tried restoring from an older backup which I had made like 2 months ago and the same problem remains, "com.google" message is still there. Any suggestions or should I just start over?

Sounds like a dodgy backup or it somehow got corrupted, I'd start over to save any headaches for future reference -- It's a headache I know, but safer I think. You could hang five, see if anyone else chimes in with any other ideas though

A nandroid backup is simple but monolithic. Most people also use Titanium Backup for the ability to restore selective stuff, or to restore to a completely different model of phone.

I had same issue
Bith titanium and nandroid restore.
Well only way to save your self. Completing wizard of first startup with feeling google..
And just restore user apps and data with titanium except google stuff..
This is the only healthy restore method so far i know that gapss.com keeps kool

So I somehow managed to go to settings and disable Play Services with the one second time line that I had before the message appears again, and the message stopped. So it must be something with Play Services. Since i'm new to android (and the Note 3 is my first android phone) I want to ask if there is a way to maybe reinstall Plaay Services?

Hi, there! I just got almost the same issue like you. Once update to custom 4.4.2, any nandroid backups which worked right before getting GAPPS' FC constantly. :crying: Try double wipes, flash 4.3 gapps full package, stop&restart android download, uninstall google play store update, etc. nothing can fix it. Only way stop the popup error, is flash stock rom. But, consequently, lose root access, even with the same method that rooted the stock rom before. I'll heard some guy said the 4.4.2 has different partition from 4.3 or older android rom. But don't mention how to restore the old partition way. So, hope anyone can help us out, thanks a lot.

I think I've just borked my G2

Hi all.
I'm in desperate need of some help here.
I was tinkering with my D802 last night and got it rooted, yay, had a play with a sixaxis pad and some games etc all good fun. Then went to go to my barclays app and suddenly realised that it wouldn't work because it was now rooted. Started to follow this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360142
Got as far as installing SudoSU and 'full unroot' and then installed CWM from the play store which then flashed the recovery.
I go to reboot into CWM but forget the path for the file downloaded so I reboot the phone to find it and suddenly when the phone starts all I get is
com.android.systemui has stopped in a constant loop so the rest of the phone doesn't start.
I don't know what the hell to do!

I've just managed to get into the hard reset mode with the vol down + power, release at LG logo, vol down + power option but I really don't want to have to do that just yet.

If I'm reading your post correctly, I think the reason your device is acting this way, is because you unrooted your device first and then you installed CWM(an application that requires root), this process confused your device and made it malfunction.

Yeah, I think your right.
Is there anyway that I can recover my contacts and other bits of data before loosing anything? I've got ADB working if that's of any use.

If you sycned you contacts and app data with Google, then yes, if you didn't do that, no, and I'm afraid that seeing that you can't boot into your device, you cannot backup your personal files to the computer.[emoji20] does your computer recognize your device?

Ok, the main issue at the minute is this com.android.systemui process.
As soon as it comes up saying that it has stopped and I hit OK to clear, another pops up. Because of this I can't control or access anything.
Is there a way to fix this process to allow myself some control back over the phone?

The computer recognizes the device for file transfer so I've been able to recover things like pictures etc. I've also managed to get adb working to a certain extent and it's recognizing it under devices.
I mean, the device boots, but the trouble is this damn com.android.systemui process has stopped constantly popping up stopping me from doing anything.

I think the lock screen has gone whacko. I use the facelock which if it fails uses the pattern unlock. It's possibly why after pressing ok after the systemui process fails, I can't touch anything because the screen is technically locked.

Well, I did a factory reset which didn't do anything as the systemui kept falling over. Luckily enough the LG software recognised the phone now so was able to do a full restore from that and I'm now back in the game so thanks very much for your help

*help!* flashing rom, data recovery, factory reset

OK so i forgot my password and my phone auto factory reset . Now I need help figuring out if i can even have the slightest chance of recovering my data. One problem im facing is the fact that the SM-900V needs to be rooted and the only way that i can find is by flashing the original rom and from there root to try to recover at least something.
Now I have some questions...
Anyone gone through this and tried doing what im want to try to do to recover data?
If i were to flash the original rom, would the data still possibly be there or does the flash completely destroy the data?
Can someone please HELP ME!
Well i'll post if i make any progress under here...
-tried kingo root, unfortunately it didn't work
THANK YOU!

You can try DiskDigger or another app similar. I lost pictures that i forgot to back up when i had flashed a new ROM and it retrieved them.

Help with Restoring backup with TWRP...Getting error

MAybe someone has run across this problem,and can help...I have wiped and installed a few roms already,and got them all set up,and they have worked fine.I'm using twrp 3.0.2.2 to make backups,so i can try other roms.BUT,every time i restore a backup,i get the error message "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" at boot up.I can't do anything on the phone,as that message keeps popping up so quick.
So i did a factory reset,and installed a different rom,got it all set up,then made a backup.Restored that backup,and the same thing happened,only on this rom i also had a message scrolling across the top of the phone that said "No SIM Card-Emergency calls only" along with "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" any hep would be appriciated....Thank you

So,your having the same issue when you restore a backup??...Maybe its TWRP ? I flashed over twrp and installed philz touch.Just made a backup,but will not try and do a restore,as i don't have the time to start working on the phone again till next weekend.

dont use 3.0.2-2, its buggy. Just flash 3.0.2 in Odin mode and use that. 3.0.2-2 has been buggy for MANY users, myself and a a friend of mine who is a solid developer and unix admin for a huge company. Trust me, just stay away from 3.0.2-2 for the time being

Thanks for the tip!

Wow,it says "Restore works, but does require special steps as mentioned by haggertk in op. You need to restore twice, no reboot in between, and delete shared_prefs and database folder in data/data/com.android.providers.telephony" So its the rom?? Do you think it would work if i deleted those folders,then booted into recovery to make a backup?

Have a look at the lineage 14.1 thread for the G901f.
With a "Phone stopped" after TWRP restore you should run in Recovery/Advanced/Terminal
"restorecon -R /data"
As I say in that thread...... worked for me.
HTH.
