Rooting seems to break my phone - N910P - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just used Odin to upgrade my phone from the stock 5.01 lollipop ROM to the stock 5.1.1 ROM. The phone reboots just fine but I need to have it rooted. So I rebooted into download mode used CF Auto Root. The phone appears to root just fine and then reboot. That's when the trouble starts.
I start getting messages that say "contacts has stopped." "Daemon has stopped." "Media storage has stopped." Each one of the messages has an "ok" button that has to be clicked before you can access anything on the phone. The messages pop up about every 5 seconds, so if you clear them out, you start the process all over. Better yet, if you clear them out quickly enough to open up contacts, no contacts appear.
If you don't clear the warnings out, they continue to pop up about every 5 seconds until you run out of memory... at least that's what I think is happening... and you get a message that says the "UI isn't responding."
Reflashing the ROM in Odin seems to take care of the problem, but then I'm stuck having to root the phone again.
Anyone have any idea of what is causing the problem? Any help would be much appreciated.

Fairly serious problem after Kies firmware update

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..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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.

[Q] Soft bricked my phone, what can I do?

Hi all. Earlier I installed what I thought was a Rom suited for my device, but I believe it was the wrong rom. Now the device wont get past the splash screen, TWRP recovery is hit or miss and the only thing that opens without issue is download mode. Here is what I have already tried to do
installing stock rom via odin (application stops responding as soon as I pick the file under PDA)
install a backup (failed)
installing a new rom via recovery
fix permissions
factory reset
Is there anything else I can try? ODIN doesn't have an issue recognizing my phone, but it freezes up as soon as I try to install the stock rom. Somehow I managed to get a message in the recovery saying I don't have root (???) and when I try installing it, it reboots and get stuck at the splash screen. Also, I don't remember what it said exactly, but it was something about an md5 failure? There is an option to check md5 but it just fails. Whenever I try to install a rom via recovery it fails also. I can install kernels without a problem, however. Is there anything I can do at this point or am I out of a phone?
Be patient with ODIN, after selecting the file for the PDA slot it may seem to stop responding, just give it a minute or 2 and it should come back to life. :good:
Happens every time until it freezes up my computer or it force closes itself. pic

After seeing the pic make sure only auto reboot is checked nothing else no F. Reset Time.
Sent from my SPH-L720
right after you flash with ODIN (GREEN PASS), immediately pull your battery, then pull your plug. then start up in recovery mode. sometimes the phone turns on automatically once you put the battery in but keep holding the 3 buttons until you see the blue text on the top left.
I prefer to let it do a full auto-reboot over the battery pull as previously suggested. Let it do it's full reboot before anything, then do a proper shut down, go into recovery & so on.

Help please....phone bricked?

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.

Help Exposed Installation gone wrong

Hey, so I have had my phone rooted for a long time. I have a Galaxy S5 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
I decided I wanted to get Framework installed so I downloaded the right files and flashed it in TWRP.
My phone took way longer than 10 min to reboot into system so I thought I was stuck in a bootloop and decided to run my phone through TWRP again.
I tried rebooting but that didn't work. I have my phone's backup saved onto a micro SD so I did a factory reset and then tried rebooting.
I got past the rebooting logo and actually got to my lock screen where it asks for my password.
From there, I've been getting spammed with 3 different messages, one saying that IMS service is down, com.sec.vsimservice is down, and WfcService is down.
After I press ok to all 3 of the messages, my phone is still in the lock screen asking for my password but the phone doesn't recognize that im touching the screen to type. After letting the phone stay like that for a few minutes, the lock screen that asks for my password goes away and all I can see is my wallpaper background (no notification panel either) but now the phone recognizes me touching the screen ( I know that because the LED lights up for the windows button and back button )
So basically I decided to go into TWRP and flash my recovery that I had saved on the microSD.
After that didn't work, I've just been going through a series of factory resetting my phone and wiping Dalvik files and then flashing my recovery. My phone is getting unrealistically hot too.
Btw I never downloaded the Exposed Uninstaller from the forum so I tried downloading it onto my pc and then sending the file over to my phone through download mode using Odin so that I could flash the uninstaller through my TWRP but that didn't work because the PDA in Odin does not recognize the uninstaller file.
Please, I really need help and thanks to anyone who tries, it would mean a lot if someone could figure out what I can do. Thanks.
Since you've tried restoring your backup and everything seems to have failed (it sucks, I know) you should try to install a completely stock firmware which you can download from here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G900I Just make sure you select your exact phone model from the dropdown menu at the top right side as you didn't mentioned which of the 40 S5s you have lol. And after you flash stock firmware and successfully boot up try to restore your backup. If it's still bugged - flash stock again and start off fresh. Let me know how it turns out. I'll help with installing xposed later as well, first let's get your phone running again

930V stuck in bootloop after OTA

Hello All, So I have a friend's 930V here. She let the phone "try" install the latest verizon OTA a few days ago, best I can tell 8CRK1 (I know). It did not complete. I have been attempting to fix it for a few days now. I have only been able to get the phone to actually boot into recovery twice. All other attempts say either "erasing, then installing update" or just "installing update", neither of which ever complete. The phone then reboots, says "recovery booting" and does it again. But I can not get it to boot into recovery to wipe the cache.
I have flashed it several times using odin (v3.13.1 and v3.13.1_3B) with firmware (8CRK1, 8CRJ3 and Umodel 8CRJ2). They all complete and pass in odin, yet it will not boot.
Some it will not even turn on, so let it sit for a while, when I come back it will turn on
- Will ticking erase NAND and/or REPARTITION help?
- Should I force the PIT file (HEROQLTE_USA_VZW)?
I have even gone to trying the Verizon/Samsung software upgrade utility, which fails half way through and says phone disconnected (on the phone it says unsupported dev_type)
-I'm about to rip my hair out- Any advice would be awesome!
thanks
A-
the screen grab I've attached are from the 1 of the 2 times it actually got it into recovery
