Been playing with my phone all day and somehow it crashed/rebooted & now I'm getting "Process system isn't responding"ever time it boots back up. Im rooted and have TWRP recovery...made a backup before all this started. Tried restoring my backup, didnt work, nor did using ODIN to flash a stock file. Full wipes and format data doesn't do any good either...Any suggestions?
I had the same issue this morning and after wiping and odin'ing what seems liked 30 times for 4 hours, I ended up taking it back. BB swapped it out with no questions asked.
The only thing I can think that happened was I tried restoring a backup with TWRP. I thought I read on here that restoring was not a good idea right now.
Looks like I am going to have to return this as well...every time it boots I get that error message and then it reboots itself....Did you do anything to flash back stock status??

Oh yes, many, many times! After I got stuck in a boot loop (or bootup system error), I wiped every partition I could find on the phone using stock TWRP and OUDH recoveries. Than I would odin multiple times using the MI3 tar. The odin process would be successful, but I would get stuck in a boot-loop every time. I'm fairly savvy with Samsung phones as I have rooted all 5 that I've owned but I couldn't figure this one out so I just took it back.

After the successful Odin, have you tried booting into stock recovery and wiping data? That can often fix problems booting up after a restore..

I have similar issues. I tried to recover my original TWRP backup and now my phone is in a boot loop. Even taking the original system and restoring it via ODIN won't fix this?
No questions asked by the store?

The Sprint store is not going to have the software to restore your phone yet. So they will replace it as they want even be able to tell its rooted...Well unless they go into download mode which i don't see why they would do that right now. .. BUT This is something you can fix yourself. From what i read you only flashed the stock TAR once. Flash it again and see what happens. Pay attention to what you are restoring. The first time i rooted i couldn't make phone calls...I have no idea what cause it. Now i am on Stock but mi3 as i forgot to pull the SD card.. And its not that serious to go to mi5 at this point.
Edit: If stock still dosent work after multiple attempts.... GO ahead and flash stock rooted ROM. In the next week or so everything will be figured. out. There want be any big updates that you miss in the next month. I wouldn't worry about being on stock rooted or stock unrooted. All the same for now.
I've retried several times with the STOCK unrooted tar. No go with that. Just boot loops...
I didn't see where there is a stock rooted ROM. I'll look in the development areas for it. If you have link would you reply with the link?

Hers my dilema, i had 4.1.1 rooted and unlocked and decided to return to stock so I could update to 4.1.2. all went well downgrading to stock but when I got the OTA the phone bootlooped. I could not access the recovery menu to wipe cache (as suggested in a few other post) so I ended up having the download the newest image and flash it to my phone. That worked after using the 16Gb pit file that is here in the forum (it kept failing before trying the pit file). THE QUESTION I have is, how do I root with casual without bootlooping? I tried after getting 4.1.2 installed and it went back into the bootloop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, how exactly did you get 4.1.2 on your phone? You say that using the very latest version of CASUAL still causes bootloops when trying to unlock?
The obvious thing here is YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE WENT TO ACCEPT THE OTA.
As it is this is a question better answered by AdamOutler or Droidstyle.

I flashed a stock image that I downloaded from stockimages(or something like that) with odin. That got the phone back up and running with 4.1.2. Once I did that, I figured I was back to stock (no root and no unlock) so I tried to run casual to re-root and unlock and ended up in a boot loop. Since then, I have gotten back to root and unlock but from now on I guess I have to update via the TWRP. Thanks for the obvious suggestion but I figured that since i had flashed back to stock it was ok to accept the ota.......I was assuming that I could get full access by running casual. From now on, I will leave well enough alone.

The more updates Verizon pushes the tighter they luck the phone down trying to deal up all the holes our exploits could use, in turn that makes the exploits more risky and more prone to cause potential trouble.
It is best to just leave everything alone once you get rooted and unlocked and just flash the updates via TWRP/CWM, there is no real reason or advantage to updating the normal way. It does nothing different than flashing the ROM in recovery and has no advantages and a huge amount of risk.
It may be that the Odin flashable ROM you got was missing something or was wonky in some way since it didn't come from XDA. It shouldn't have reacted that way if you were using the most up to date version of CASUAL.

I used Odin to get the phone back to stock (vramc3). I tried it on two computers and eventually got it to rum when using the 16 GB .pit file that can be found on this forum. That got me back to stock. I then used casual to re-root and unlock. The thing I have learned is that once twrp is intalled, I only need to download a ROM based on the Verizon stock (unless you want custom) and flash it through twrp. NOT WHAT I INITIALLY DID. I flashed back to stock and accepted an ota which didn't work out well. Took me 5 hours of downloading and trying to get the phone flashed. Good luck. The first thing I would try is downloading the beanstown vzw stock ROM and flash it with the .pit file.

Thank you though I really appreciate your help
I would try casual agai if you can get into download mode (power + vol dn+ home). If that doesn't work I'd try reflashing. Good luck.

I suggest taking a look at the safestrap thread in the general section. Hashcode is working on a method for me7 romming. Its a wip at the moment. Also take a look at xposed framework and the wanam module on the play store. Youll atleast be able to do some general customization. I use it and its pretty damn awesome.

While rooting my friends phone I attempted to flash a recovery... But the phone is on ME7 so it obviously didn't work. Now there's no working recovery. With that, can't do a factory reset because it boots to the Odin screen on reboot.
Any way to reflash the stock recovery?

There was some stock recocery images posted here on the forums but I dont have links. If you cant find them you coulf always reflash the stock me7 image via odin. If you have apps and their data you dont want removed there is also no wipe stock images as well. Both are posted in the dev section.

Until I have time to clean this up I figured I would post this now and we'll update it later.
It's more important to make sure people have this while testing new things.
Samsung-Updates.com has posted MI3 here:

As usual we're putting it up on Rwilco's repository. I am not doing anything with them though for a few reasons.
1) At the moment neither I or rwilco12 have a device to test with.
2) Given the issues with Knox I am leary in doing anything without addressing #1.
Link to Stock ROMs:

Download, flash in Odin/Heimdall. This current version will wipe your data.
TESTED AND WORKING - Great Work bud!
Any other DL links? Its not downloading anything.. On either link. Thanks
EDIT: Might be on my end I think it is working now. I already did something and messed it up. Very easy fix but I cant believe the n00b mistake I did lol. Oh well

Mine was stuck on the yellow sprint screen. I went in the stock recovery and wiped data, and after that it loaded up perfect. So if you are stuck on the sprint screen, try that and it might help you.

i redownloaded the rom twice and have had the same result. I am using TWRP. i think ill use odin, update the ROM though OTA and reroot and install TWRP again. don't know why my phone is being dumb and not booting the ROM, just bought this beast and i wanna play around with it
Need a bit of help. Stuck in a boot loop. I had Freeza's deodex running like a champ. Flashed TeamVenum's rom and it ran good, but I didn't like colors. I wiped data and reflashed freeza's, and the system would only boot to update apps then reboot and start a boot loop at samsung.
I finally did a odin restore to MI3, but it won't boot up either. It updates apps then does a Finalizing boot, the system freezes then starts a boot loop.
Any Suggestions? Tempted to take it back to Sprint.

Odin should have fixed this.
Did you flash in PDA mode and un-check the "auto reboot" ?
Try downloading the restore tar again, maybe you had a bad download.

Sprint Store, within 14 days from purchase
Ur phone is bricked. Restore doesn't work, once u did that, u turned your phone into a $700 paperweight. So if u get a new phone and root it, do not do a restore of any kind

Hi all, I am in urgent need of some help...
I got my GS4 when it first came out back in May. It was the VRUAMDK build. I used ODIN and motochopper to get it rooted, eventually got CM going and have been using it ever since.
Today I was playing around flashing different nightlies of CM11. I went to restore from a backup, but it error'd out and said it couldn't restore /data. I rebooted anyway and it hung on the CM logo for about 10 minutes. I tried a wipe/restore again and the same thing happened. I should note that since updating to CWM 6.x.x.x from (I think?) 2.x.x.x I hadn't attempted a restore from backup, but I know that restore worked on CWM 2.
So anyway I went to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Followed the instructions, similar to when I first rooted my phone, and flashed the 99% factory image with Odin. It "worked" ie no errors but upon reboot my phone hangs on the Verizon logo. It gets through the Samsung boot logo but will just sit at the Verizon logo. Not frozen because the logo is shimmering.
At this point I have no idea what to do. Help?

Yeah, I'm not too worried about having to go through all that.. I should be able to restore apps from my external SD, I would think...
Did you have the same problem? Completely soft bricked and needed a full wipe? I'm a bit worried that the 99% wipe didn't work.

How did you re-root/recovery after the odin to MDK?
I have the MDK bootloader, but I've never had to odin back to stock.

The same way as when I first got my phone. I Odin'd the pre-release MD2 kernel, used motochopper to grant root access and install SuperSU, Odin'd back to MDK, then downloaded GooManager to install TWRP.
*Odin back MDK kernel... Not full factory image. Just clarifying
