Previous installation leftovers - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Problem:
I installed yesterday Pandoriam 2.0 and everything installed (stock ROM and MotoMoto theme), Next thing at bootup my phone went to the language screen selection but then I get a popup telling me that Samsung Setup Wizard is not responding, and so I am stuck in that screen, I tried different languages but still doesn't work. I tried then to install L335K1s ROM also with Stock ROM and MotoMoto theme and also with this rom I get stuck on the language selection screen in Samsung Setupwizard. I then installed Pandoriam 2.0 and L335K1s ROM with stock ROM and Stock JB theme. L335K1s ROM and Pandoriam 2.0 work like this. So it seems to be an Aroma or MotoMoto theme issue. Supreme ROM though is working fine. Anybody have a solution how to wipe any leftovers from phone?
Thanks

[Q] Applying a theme

Hey guys,
I've already tried twice to install a theme on my I9000, but it doesn't seem to work. after installing it using recovery the phone won't load (it just got stuck in the I9000 screen). The only way out was to reinstall the rom (Darky's v8.0 slim).
Does any of you has any idea what did I do wrong?
Here's the post of the theme I tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898892
Hve you tried to clear dalvik cache in cwm and flash the theme again? Works for me.

How did you try to install it? I've used Darky's ROMs since v6 and have always flashed themes over it without any problems.

[Q] fixed - flashed seearms v0.4 - no launcher running after flash

Started with a JL2 kernel and phone and modem but with CWM and Voodoo added. Turned off lagfixes. Setup seearms as per instructions. Flashed using CWM and when phone booted got error "The application SetupWizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly.
The problem with this is that this leaves the phone with no active launcher and I do not know how to recover from this. The phone is kind of functional ie asked for the SIMlock pin and the status bar is running but quite useless as no launcher.
Tried a factory wipe - then re-installed seearms v0.4 again- no improvement.
I then tried to flash back to the previous system to find that the CWM backup I made prior to this has an MD5 error (maybe I should not have changed the filename) - so really stuck now as I cannot roll back.
Then tried using ODIN to flash the prior PDA (stock+Voodoo-Froyo-GT-I9000M-UGJL2.tar) and although the flash gives no errors, I am still left with no launcher on reboot.
Is there a way to recover from this - ie a way to add a launcher?
ps I would post this in the seearms thread but cannot.
-------
fixed.
I followed the instructions as if I did NOT have CWM already installed ie as if I had 3E recovery - this involved a kernel update via Odin, NOW the install worked and all is GOOD again - PHEW.
So, the seearms install process should always use the Kernel as if you were running 3E recovery as it seems to work with only this kernel

[Q] Boot loop with every ICS rom

I've been trying to get ICS on my Galaxy S but every single ICS rom I install causes my phone to bootloop.
I'm on JVU firmware in combination with:
This is the December 29, 2011 / Android 2.3.6 / JVU / Value Pack ? build:
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.zip
So far I've tried to flash CM9, Slim ICS and Team ICSSGS RC4.2.
What happens when I try to flash any of these roms:
Progress bar show up, it starts installing
At 5% phone reboots
Boot logos show up
Phone enters recover again and some lines of text show up (not long enough to be able to read but looks like error messages)
After less than 1 second the phone reboots again and the process repeats itself
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Would be much appreciated because this issue has left me frustrated and I just want to have working ICS on my phone.
Thanks in advance.
When installing ICS over the top of Gingerbread there is a requirement to Flash the ROM twice.
Once to upgrade the bootloader to ICSSGS 4.2 version and second for the ROM to fully install.
I did this and was able to successfully upgrade to ICS.
Searching the thread for ICSSGS 4.2 would have provided the answer for this issue.
If this is unsuccessfull flash back to a gingerbread ROM using Odin Darky's 10.2 worked for me. allow the phone to fully boot. then retry you ICS ROM
Before flashing ICS you also must disable anny lagfix that is applied.
I tried flashing twice already, didn't work. I'm flashing darky 10.2 atm and will try flashing an ics rom again when it's done. Thanks for the tip.
I had kind of the same problem, although my boot loop was a little different i think. I Odin'd Darky's 10.1 a few times, but in the end also tried 9.2. That worked. No idea of that made the difference, you could give it a try.

Allright flashing Darky's 10.2 first and then ICS twice was the solution, so weird. Thanks for the help

[Q] [HELP] Android Keyboard & ROM Manager has stopped working.

Hello to whoever is reading this, I appreciate your help.
I recently saw Cyanogen Mod 10 on lifehacker.com and decided to change my ROM to CM 10. Its was working fine until I wasn't able to open the System Settings. I though I did something wrong and I reinstall CM 10. The first notification popped up was 'Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.' and next another one pops up, 'Unfortunately, Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped.' It keep crashing the stock keyboard and I only have the stock keyboard.
Next I try to uninstall CM 10 back to stock ROM, I opened ROM Manager and another notification pops up, 'Unfortunately, ROM Manager has stopped.'
So right now, I have a phone that has no system setting, no keyboard and I can't access ROM Manager.
Phone Model : LG OPTIMUS BLACK P970
ROM : CyanogenMod 10

Use recovery. (Not ROM Manager the actual Recovery.)
Sent from my LG-P970
use smart flash tool again to flash patched firmware
do full 3 wipes
I can't boot into recovery and I don't have smart flash installed.
search for smartflashtool in the p970 forum
install a stock rom with ot and cwm recovery
DON'T USE ROM MANAGER WITH OUR PHONE damn people...read...don't just take any advice on youtube
How do you want me to install it? Sorry but I'm a bit confused.
HEY!A FELLOW SINGAPOREAN!Anyways best is to dwnload the bin and fls stock rom files and use smartflashtool to flash it.I recommend v20o or v20s firmware(though there's not much difference).But your FC problem should not happen if you do all wipes b4 flashing:Wipe Data/factory reset,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik Cache.

[Q] Cannot install any custom roms. Phone acting weird

Hey guys. I've been using CyanogenMod on my Galaxy S for quite a long time. Few days ago my battery died and phone wouldn't pass the CyanogenMOD logo. I've decided to go back to stock rom and then upgrade to one of the new roms.
So I flashed the stock rom using Odin 3.07, rooted, went to recovery mode and tried to flash: Mackay ROM, Beast ROM ( black and white as well as beastxl), Avatar ROM, Slim Bean, Tsunami, CyanogenMOD but none of the above worked.
It starts the installation and after few seconds phone restarts itself and gets stuck on new boot logo.
The only thing that gets installed is the CWM which won't let me do the factory reset, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache etc. Keeps saying can't mount /data, /cache, /system.
The only time I can do factory reset is when I install stock rom.
I only succeeded installing Franzy ROM once but after reboot gets stuck on boot logo.
Sometimes even the stock ROM is giving me issues like process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly (does it for dialer, calculator, market, launcher)
Another weird thing is that even when I go back to stock rom and open up for instance a picture with bright background or web browser I can see transparent battery and CyanogemMod in the middle of the screen even tho phone's not charging and running on stock rom not CyanogenMod.
I think I've tried everything from fixing permissions, flash and re-partition using Odin and 512 pit file.
Even rang my Mom like advised in xda's video, didn't help either
Is there anything else I can try to get my phone in "shape"?
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply. Installing CM 9 worked but trying to install CM 10 throws up this error:
assert failed: run_program("tmp/updater.sh") == 0
E: Error in sdcard/cm-10.1.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Flash this one :
http://get.cm/get/3Fb
then install this one :

did you tried to install other costum roms , like slimbean ?
There MIGHT be a problem with your internal SD card. Slight chance :/

Yes I did and only Franzys installed successfully but then stopped working after phone reboot.

I think that might be the case. I get encryption unsuccessful with my sdcard in and CWM doesn't see any files with sdcard out.
I found an article here on forum that explains how to use your external sdcard as the internal one. Will give it a try and see if it works.
For now I don't mind using CM 9.1.
Thanks for your help guys and let me know if you have any other suggestions.
