I was on the beta on S906U. It upgraded today to the release OTA. S906USQU2BVJA is my version. Amazon Shopping, Gmail, Virgin Pulse (used for work fitness stuff) and Lose It Calorie counter all instantly close when I try to use them.
Any ideas on troubleshooting? Clearing cache, Clearing data and reinstalling the apps didn't change a thing. Tried play services, but it's up to date.
Samsung says to hit a repair center and re-flash the phone in a downgrade.

Just Factory Data Reset? Should I try a backup using SmartSwitch and restore or would you advise against that?
I never use Smartswitch, some do. Others use other backup methods. I just move what I want to external storage. I don't care about app data and choose to factory reset for best results. When I restored app data once I got official Android 13 Ota, things just didn't run smoothly. Some apps would freeze. For me and this is my preference, a clean install is always best
There is no need to go to a repair center
Factory reset and things appear to be normal. Lesson learned: Just do the reset and don't call Samsung support. They're relatively useless.
Anybody has had success flashing TMO files on AT&T 906U? Is the available firmware a Multi CSC firmware?

Did you try factory reset ?

Ok I just got my S3, straight out of the box I booted into odin and successfully followed these instructions to get root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756885 rebooted and started setting up my phone. It automatically started restoring all my apps then I went on and used titanium to restore my k9 mail and a few other apps (no system data or sms app data or anything like that). After I rebooted a messaged appeared " Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" cleared the cache, fixed permissions, cleared cache and data of the messaging app. Nothing worked. Reset factory. As soon as the phone booted to the setup screen the messaging app error was already there. Back to Odin and reloaded the rooted tar file (I'm using the full stock, rooted version) and I still get the error when I turn the phone on! How can that be?
Exact same problem

My SIII is doing the exact same thing. Verizon 32 gb rooted stock I am returning and they are shipping me a new one on the 14 day no worry guarantee.

Hi I found another thread that had a solution, didn't think it would work but it did. I can't find the thread or I'd give him credit.
Basically, boot into odin and flash this (verizon stock unrooted) h**p://samsung-updates.com/get/2114/Samsung_Firmware_SCH-I535_VZW_I535VRALF2_Android_4_0_4.html after its done let it boot and then restart and go back into odin and reflash the rooted image. It's odd but it worked and all my apps and data remained(but backup just in case).
Factory reset guys. You are writing system files over existing system files. Factory reset. Factory reset. Factory reset

Factory reset didn't work, first thing I tried...did it twice, nor did reflashing the rooted image, fixing permissions, clearing caches, etc. After the factory reset and reloading the rooted image, the error would appear on the language selection screen when first being setup. Reloading the stock non-rooted image and then reflashing the rooted image was the only thing that fixed it.

Your my hero! This worked perfect. Now everything is as I want it. Once you validate you should make a new topic in development with the subject being the error message and Samsung Galaxy SIII this way all the people with this problem can easily impliment the solution.
Also you were correct. None of my data was lost.
:good::good:
After flashing a new version of CM11, i found myself in a loop upon startup where many of the core applications of android stopped working. When i reverted back to the old version that worked(I didn't have a backup saved but rather i flashed the older nightly of the rom again), I noticed that my home button, lock screen, and notification bar/toggle screen wasn't working any more. I looked into it and looked at my apps, and saw an unnamed app with the description "com.android.keyguard". upon looking this process up, i found out that when people disabled this process their home button, lock screen, and notification bar stopped working (coincidental eh?), and decided that this was the source of the problem.
Is there any way to load on a new, fresh version of "com.android.keyguard" or should i just do a factory reset? I would prefer to save my local data, but if i must do it in order to have a phone that does anything useful, i obviously will.
If I need to do a factory reset, what is the cleanest and smartest method of doing so? I know titanium backup can cause a lot of problems (and in this case i'm worried it will duplicate com.android.keyguard), but I assume there is some sort of method that makes a factory reset while retaining the bulk of user data very easy. am i correct?
Do a full wipe and flash again, check the md5 of your download.
Only use titanium for use apps, never system apps or settings. There is no easier way to change rom.
I have the same problem now..I have did the full reset.But the problem is not going at all.
What should I do?

I am trying to factory reset my P9000 but it does not seem to do it fully, it leaves my accounts, wifi settings, wallpapers and most apps in tact. I have tried it three times so far with the same result.
I have done one OTA update since having the phone, will it only take it back to that and how it was set up then?
It is on build number 20160810, kernel version 3.18.22\[email protected] #1.
Thanks,

I had the same issue. I ended up re-flashing the rom via SP flash tools, that way it re-installing the rom and deletes all user data.
Hey guys,
I'm wondering if there is any way to disable the forced factory reset if you go to bootloader via key combo. Picture: www[dot]upload[dot]net/file/d/4686/sgyhu6up_jpg.htm
It's really annoying to reinstall and reverify all apps if I install the latest update of the resurrection remix.
So would be great if someone could give me a hint.

First of all, can't view the picture so not 100% sure what you're referring to but I'm pretty sure I know what you're asking about. So, on all LG phones pretty much, when you use the button combo to get to recovery, it comes up factory data reset screen and ask you to select yes or no and you have to select yes two times and are brought to TWRP. If that's what you're referring to, it has nothing to do with RR and everything to do with LGs bootloader. If you have TWRP installed selecting yes does nothing except brings you to TWRP, it does not factory reset anything. Installing an update to RR doesn't reset anything either unless you manually wipe stuff within TWRP. Only thing that sometimes gets affected by installing update is it all ask for super user rights on apps again, but no way around that and it may ask you to set some programs as default again (like if you use a different messaging app instead of stock). So, again, the reset screen is not related to RR but instead the bootloader but did nothing except bring you to TWRP. Installing an update doesn't erase your data or apps unless you manually wipe them within TWRP. If you're doing a dirty flash (just updating) no reason to wipe anything except cache and davlik after it finishes flashing, and then it doesn't erase any apps or data. Only wipe system, data, etc if you're trying to do a clean install. In that case, I recommend using titanium backup to backup and restore all apps and app data.
Hey, thanks for the fast response, and yes the thing with the factory data reset was exactly what I meant.
That when TWRP is installed it doesn't wipes the data is very good to know, I sadly found nearly nothing about this.
So I think the problem is solved with your answer.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.

I updated my T-Mobile Note-8 to Oreo (CRC2) via OTA update. Ever since my "camera keeps stopping" after taking a pic.. Anybody else here with similar experience?
Things I already tried:
1. Cleared system cache, did NOT work.
2. Cleared camera app cache/data, did NOT work.
3. Cleared gallery app cache/data, did NOT work.
4. Changed to internal/phone memory storage (in the camera settings), did NOT work.
5. Tried safe mode & camera still crashed, did NOT work.
Quick google search says many other people are facing this issue (different devices). I'm surprised there is NO posts here asking about this...
My only option at this point is to do a complete factory reset. But I hate doing that because of all the setup steps involved in making it behave correctly (as I like it).
Any help appreciated.

I had Samsung Experience Home keep FCing on me. Had to do a reset. Sucked. 1 other thing you might want to try is to go into Recovery mode and clear the cache there...and see if it helps you. (didn't work for me).

Yeah, that's what I did in step 1. Didn't make any difference, camera still crashes...
I guess factory reset and setting up the device from scratch is my only option at this point.
Can anyone please post a working version of the stock Samsung Camera APK that works on Oreo (CRC2)?
Help appreciated... Thanks

From JaguarXT inn another thread. Maybe this is why:
" Just be aware that there are problems with the current Oreo version for the Note 8. That is the reason why T-Mobile stopped sending out that version of Oreo Android to Note 8 devices right now. The last I heard of is that Samsung went to Google for help on the problems. So both Google and Samsung engineers are working on this.
You might want to wait until they send a version of Oreo Android for Note 8 that has the problems fixed."
I took the Oreo update the day it was pushed. I immediately factory reset and everything, including the camera, works perfectly. For the other Note 8 variants that recieved Oreo, and had problems; a factory reset fixed 99.9% of the issues.

Factory Data Reset is where my problems began. That end up Samsung telling this information and wanting to flash me back to Nugget until they fix this issue.
I was on OTA CRC2 Samsung stock Oreo.

Yeah, I had to factory reset as well... I used SmartSwitch to backup the phone on to my external SD card and then factory reset, wiped clean & installed CRC2 using Odin and then restored using Smart Switch app.
It sucked to do things all over again, but the phone seems reasonably behaved again!
