Hi,
As you can see on my signature, i'm using an official ICS ROM without modifications as my daily drive... and was using it without problems util today.
I was on my math class using the calculator and suddently my phone freezed. I rebooted it several times without success... sometime after it starts (i can see the home screen and launch apps, or push notification bar) ... it freezes again.
There is anything that i can do to recovery or see what is doing this? I can access the phone via adb shell... i doesn't want to flash my cellphone again and configure everything... and yes, i have titanium backup but i was waiting my feel to flash JB again to make a backup... :cyclops:
If anyone can guide me to trace what is making my phone freeze, i'll be greateful.

If you have made adjustments to build.prop or init.d scripts i would suggest to remove the ones you're not sure they work ok...
I didn't changed nothing, i was just using it as a normal user does! Maybe is a divine call to me flash JB again... but i'll wait to debug this error and trace what app or service is breaking me.
Have you fully wiped between your flashes?
From android 4.1 for example to 4.0.4..?
Yes, i did a full wipe when i rolled back to 4.0.4...
If you're running 4.0.4 can you upload your build.prop or init.d? I'm using samsung stock rom, not a custom one.
Thanks for your enforces to help!
Yes mate,gimme 2 minutes...
I'm on LH3 but it should do just fine...
By the way remember to wipe cache and dalvik after you push the files and also delete the init.d folder and delete your build.prop!
There you go!
I'm using these setting for 2 weeks now they seem stable and quite fast...
Do let me know if this worked or not!
Hi,
Thanks for your help, i tried to put your build.prop and didn't resolved, BUT, i managed to see something...
My SuperUser (su) was broken... i tried to execute "su" into adb shell and frozen my shell, so i did remount my system and copy my su again to /system/bin/su.
Time to take a full backup with Titanium!
Thanks for your help!
Edit:
What's the correct permission to su? 0755? I did it and i still without superuser now... i need it to use titanium but for now, freeze was gone!

Just making sure, we can do the nandroid backup of our phones from clockwork right? =)
*Edit: Seems like nandroid is preforming a full backup of my phone... decided to try running it while I downloaded this rom.
What kind of graphical errors are we talking? Worth wiping away all the work i did or will there be another wipe update soon? heh
#Edit #2: (live blogging)
Installing legend right now! When should we start thinking about partitioning our SD cards?
- that rom installed surprisingly fast....
I got the option to restore my settings from a backup on the SD card. Thats interesting. I selected yes just for kicks.
it did something for a bit but after it was done it hadn't found my gmail account. I wonder what it restored? and from where?
Well after I put in my gmail account it found my fb account and exchange account. Interesting.
Its up and running and super fast. Is there anyway i can get the black bar to the bottom of my screen? its on the side right now and its driving me crazy.

looks like the eng build.. when terminal starts you are automatically root. adb shell is the same deal.
pushed superuser.apk from the original slide root pack and it pops up when you type su in terminal (and go from a # to a #)

So today was fun, after seeing mixed reports of people downloading and successfully installing the Verizon update, I tried.
It worked, then my phone went into a reboot/recovery loop, then just stopped loading. I did a factory wipe restore in the recovery menu, then did a factory data reset in the setting menu.
Reloaded all my crap back on, and now here comes the issue. Superuser still shows in the menu, but when i try to remove the files via the ABD commands, I can't, I get permission denied.
I can't get Root Explorer to work because I've obviously not rooted anymore.
So what are my options, because my phone isn't rooted, even though the root files are still in place and I can't update and/or modify those.
Thanks in advance.
Im gonna take a stab at this because im still a n00b myself on this android stuff, but i had similar problem with wireless tether.
When you updated it removed root access, but not any programs(hence you have no permissions, but still su program), so what your probably gonna have to do re-root the same way you did earlier, I actually had to re-root twice in order to get root access, because the first time it hung. Now after you get root access, you should be able to remove root through the command.
Hope this helps

Have you tried just deleting the files from your memory card? I unrooted once and still had the SU app showing in my app drawer. I deleted it from memory card and it dissappeared. I think it was like 4 or 5 files just delete them and reroot.
Tried it. Don't have permission to overwrite the existing files :/

I updated to Andrynalyn's V2 ROM yesterday, I was hoping it would solve the issue of SU crashing. it did not. Now SU is Force Closing, and I can't use Titanium Backup to restore or ROM manager to restore to previous versions. ROM M just hangs. I have root, S-off, but can't get SU permissions for apps. Any suggestions on how to flash back to previous ROMS or at this point stock root would be fine thanks. Also, any body else having trouble with tethering? probably related to lack of SU permissions.
Thanks.

What rom are you running? Did you apply rmk's su patch?
@jmiller
I am running Adrynlyne's first debloated ROM, i'm not sure what it's called. I rooted fairly quickly and flashed the ROM and then haven't updated to anything newer, just wanted better battery life and to lose crapware.
I just saw the rmk's su patch today, I downloaded the .zip and tried to install via Rom Manager, but ROM keeps force closing and not loading due to Superuser not working properly, I think. essentially I can't get the phone to install the .zip from ROM manager. I'm a n00b, and thought about using adb to push the .zip and load it that way, but I'm not sure of the commands I need.
Any other suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Try manually flashing the 2.3.6.3efgh Superuser zip from recovery.
You can find it here http://goo.gl/VjOjR
Thanks but that still didn't work.. now what
Sent from a cellular telephone
Honestly, that should have worked. Are you sure it flashed (said successful in recovery)? I'm not personally familiar with BAMF so I don't know if they have some custom way of hiding it or anything.
It's not listed in the drawer correct?
Is it listed under Manage Applications (All)? If so, force stop and clear its data.
Is Su.apk in /system/app and su in /system/xbin?
There was a signature problem around the time 2.1 was first released where some people lost superuser and had to flash 2.0.3 but honestly, that should be fixed now so it shouldn't be that unless there's something you may have done that you didn't mention. I suppose if it comes down to it you could try some older versions of Superuser.
Other than that, I'm not sure how you'd get it back without restoring a nandroid or reflashing the rom but flashing the su zip should have accomplished that.
Edit:
Just thought...check to see if Superuser shows up in your Market and will let you install. If su is already installed and just broken, that may fix it. Worth a shot anyway.

READ AT THE END OF THIS POST FOR THE SOLUTION
I accidentally used Titanium Backup's widget to frost all system and user apps, leaving mi phone in a infinite boot animation loop. I dont have aNandroid Backup and I would really love to solve this issue without flashing.
I found at Titanium Backup's troubleshooting webpage that I could use this command with adb to solve my issue:
Code:
Type the following command (replace with /dbdata/system/packages.xml if you have a Samsung phone):
busybox sed -n 's/<package name="\([^"]\+\)".*enabled="false".*/\1/p' /data/system/packages.xml | while read PKG; do pm enable "$PKG"; done
but it just says: No such file or directory (yes, I changed /data to /dbdata as stated in the webpage)
Any idea on how to solve this issue?
Thank you!
**EDIT:
This is the way I managed to get my phone working again without having to flash or wipe:
1. Boot in recovery mode and used adb pull command to extract "packages.xml" and "packages-more-backup.xml" from /data/system/
2. Open both files with Wordpad and replaced all protection="2" or "3" lines to protection="1".
3. Also, and very important, replaced all enabled="false" lines to enabled="true"
4. Boot in recovery again and used adb to delete old "packages.xml" and "packages-more-backup.xml" files and push the new ones.
5. Reboot and Voila!
6. Boot once again in recovery mode and fix permissions to avoid any problem.
Hope that this could be usefull to someone else having this horrible problem.
Thank you all!
Checked for that file on my phone, it doesn't exist in /dbdata/system/, but it does in /data/system/
It's probably fixable from the command line with Linux but that is over my head, one option would be to Odin or heimdel back to stock, and start from scratch. You might need a jig to get into dlmode.

I got a little too punchy with titanium on my 3 year old original Galaxy tab 7 and froze a samsung system app. Got irreversibly stuck is soft brickland - Tried various methods before giving up and hitting the wipe and reset to factory restore in the system recovery mode. Everything was backed up except recent photos, so it was more annoying than the end of the world.
Odd thing was when it reset to factory, it appeared to do just that, yet when I plugged it into PC and mounted it - the memory was full and all my files and app data files were there - untouched. The apps themselves have gone except one - Superuser is still there, Does Superuser somehow override being reset? and act as a guardian of your data in the event of reset?
Odd. I was expecting to run some file recovery software to a salvage what i could, but viola - it was all there.

ZIP for unfreezing apps
For those, who accidentally frozen important system app: here quick solution without factory reset, reflashing and ADB
It automatically edits files as described in first post.
You should have unlocked bootloader. If no, ZIP useless because unlocking wipes all data.
Download both ZIP's and just flash them via custom recovery (TWRP / CWM)
If first throws error try second and vice versa. 2nd with mark "New" contains newer updater-binary that must be compatible with recent TWRP.
Then all apps will be unfrozen, so phone will boot.
Fix compatible with all Android versions.
Note: also you can somehow (ADB or filemanager in TWRP) delete file /data/system/0/package-restrictions.xml
More correct to edit that file which ZIP actually do, but deleting not harmful too.

Same Problem
Does anyone have an updated version of that zip? I also froze an app linked to the device and it won't boot, even after factory resetting it. Tried running the zip on my t-mobile GS4 (probably newer than that zip) from the SD card in recovery mode, however it didn't unfreeze it.

1. To flash that ZIP you need have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), not stock.
No update needed, it still works in this case.
2. That strange. Maybe you not really performed reset?
Double check all and try again.

ZIP – it's not app.
Again, you need to install custom recovery.
Here link to TWRP and how install it via Odin on PC.
You need place that ZIP on sdcard.
Enter in recovery (don't know how on your model), select Install > find ZIP > confirm > reboot,

Downloaded TWRP with Odin and ran custom recovery without a change after the zip (this must have been a deeper-rooted problem in the OS itself), however in the meantime I formatted the system partition, removing the operating system. Installed Kies and ran the update. It reinstalled the OS and I'm good now. Most stuff was backed up anyways. Thanks guys for your time :good::good:
Which apk is the culprit?
Man, I wish I'd found this thread before restoring my phones internal ROM. Had it rooted and set up in every way I like except removing bloatware.
Using TB, I froze a system apk that shut down my System UI and sent the phone bootlooping. What I'm trying to determine is WHICH apk(s) I froze that caused this. I thought I had researched each one that didn't seem obvious, but I musta missed one or one of the 'obvious' ones wasn't so obvious.
