[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Hi, thanks for your reply. I havent been near any other custom themes. I've had this problem over a couple of Roms too.

I've tried to generate a catlog to get some error messages around the time its happening but I keep getting constant force close boxes which stop me doing anything (for a couple of different processes). The only way to stop them is to reboot but then the logs stop and reset when it boots so I cant get the info.

I've had to reboot about three times today and each time it has had to optimize the apps for some reason.

I've tried to get a catlog through ADB but I cant run the Android SDK as I need to install the JDK which keeps giving me 'Error 1500' on the install (even though I am most definately not already trying to install it).

Thanks for your help so far though and taking the time to read through the previous log.

Every solution I try just seems to create more problems :(

I've managed to attach a text file of all the error files its had since it started up (they are all in the space of about 10mins)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
I'm not seeing any force closes in there. In your previous log, I saw these lines:

07-15 18:24:07.919 W/ResourceType(2356): No package identifier when getting value for resource number 0x00000000
07-15 18:24:07.919 W/PackageManager(2356): Failure retrieving resources for [insert any package here basically]: Resource ID #0x0

which led me to identify resources (i.e. icons, drawables, etc) as your culprit.

What we need to do with that information, I wouldn't know. Ask the rom dev, I suppose?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Well I'm assuming their force closes. I get a white box popping up that says 'unfortunately XXXXX has closed' and when I click 'ok' the box goes away but either comes straight back or another similar one pops up. Its Trebuchet quite a lot.

I can't do anything then, if I try to get to LogCat that closes too and I can't really do anything until I reboot.

Its happened over 3 different Roms so dont think theres much the Rom compiler (is that what they're called, lol) can do.

I'm am probably going to have to see if I can get a Log through ADB, if I can remember how to use it, when I have time.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
I've managed to connect the tablet through ADB and managed to get some errors taken at the time I started getting all the 'Unfortunately XXXXX has closed [ok]' boxes kept coming up.

All the error messages attached came up in the space of a few seconds.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
Ahh, now this is interesting. The main cause of your problem is that your filesystem is remounted read-only, which Play Store Services doesn't like.

As to why this is going on I can only guess, but it's possible that it's due to filesystem corruption. Can you try running fsck from recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Hi,

Thanks for looking through them errors.

To be honest I haven't heard of fsck. Is it something I can pick up fairly simply or am I more likely to do more damage? I've done a few searches and it looks a bit difficult and couldn't really find any threads that sounded similar to what I might need.

Thanks again

Update : I've gone into recovery and found files in /system/bin called fsck.exfat and fsck.f2fs is it a case of running a command through terminal command in recovery from this directory?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
Fsck is the linux file system checker. The binary is named e2fsck. I think the command should be:

e2fsck -pv /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS

This will try to automatically fix any errors (be sure to note whether there are any). If it complains about unexpected inconsistencies, you'll need to remove the 'p' argument to prevent it from trying to do any automatic fixing.

Note: the whole point of this command is to check and, if needed, modify low-level filesystem structures, so there is a risk of data loss on your DATAFS (i.e. /data) partition.

Be sure to note if there are any errors. If there are, we need to investigate where those are coming from. If not, something else is causing your fs to remount readonly (because THAT is ultimately what is triggering your system to flip out).

(Apologies for the delay, it's been a busy week)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Hi,

No worries mate, I wasn't sure if what I said didn't make sense thats why there were no replies :)

The problem seems to be a lot better now but I've still had it a couple of times over the last two days.

I've tried to run the command above but with no joy. I'm still only learning the basics of ADB so still having some trouble.

I wasn't sure exactly where to run the commands from through the SDK so just went to the Terminal Command in Recovery and after navigating to the system/bin folder tried that command but it came up with the following:

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS is in use

esfsck: cannot continue, aborting

I apologise if some of what I am doing seems nonsense but I am trying to pick up what I can by myself from various sketchy threads to avoid being a 'tell me what to do cos I can't be bothered looking myself' person. I dont know if this is doing more harm then good :)

Thanks again in advance for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
You cannot check a filesystem while it is in use. Solution: boot to recovery (sorry, I should have specified), then make sure your data partition is not mounted (in CWM it isn't by default, which is good). Then it should be able to run.

(so: boot tablet to recovery, on computer run 'adb shell', in adb shell copy/paste the actual fsck command)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
For some reason I cannot get my PC to pickup the tablet in a command window when in TWRP so I was unable to run through ADB. 'ADB Devices just did not show anything.

In the end I did it all on my tablet in TWRP through the 'Command Terminal'. I navigated to the necessary folder (the one with fsck.exfat and fsck.f2fs in - /system/bin) through the Command Terminal and after typing the command in I got the following:

/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS clean, 9086/791520 files, 694414/3160055 blocks

Is that good?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
It means that your emmc is fine and that there's a different reason why you're getting force closes. Can you post a dmesg next time it happens?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Hi, yea sure. I could use a bit of guidance with exactly how to do that though. I take it that is something I would have to run through ADB from my PC before I reset my tablet? Step by step instructions would be appreciated a lot (as has your extensive help already, creep creep :) ).
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
Boot to normal android. Wait until you start getting force closes. Stick your tab into your computer, run 'adb shell', then run 'dmesg'. If it says permission denied, run 'su' first and then run 'dmesg' again. Post the output.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Right, first thing this morning I had some errors, so I've managed to paste the results of a dmesg into the log file attached.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
Hmmmm, now this is interesting. It looks like random services are failing to load - they are immediately exiting after being restarted. This is basically the same problem as with your apps force closing - something at the lower layers is causing everything to crash immediately upon launch.

Yet you're able to run basic programs (e.g. adb, dmesg) just fine, meaning that it's not likely to be a hardware issue.

What happens if in adb shell you run su and then 'stop' followed by 'start'? What should happen: when you run 'stop', the whole system freezes, and when you run 'start', you see your boot logo and android starts booting up again. Is this indeed what happens in this case, or do you get a bootloop? If so, post another logcat when you're stuck in the loop; you can get out of it by simply entering 'reboot' in your still-open adb shell.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Hi, basically this happened, the screen went black then a restart as normal. I've done it twice and its restarted as usual, no bootloops.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
OK, good, then it's a problem within android rather than within linux. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to proceed from here on - your logcats aren't showing the true underlying issue, and I don't know any other tool which can peek into android and possibly show anything useful. Sorry :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveh8204:
Ok no worries your help has been very appreciated so far and has helped me learn a bit more about ADB so thanks again.

When you say the problem is within android do you think there is a good chance its Rom or Kernel related, most likely neither or difficult to say?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquous:
Definitely rom-related. If it were kernel-related, your regular linux apps (such as adb, dmesg, and all the little apps android runs under the hood such as a dhcp client) would also fail. (Note that I count the initramfs as part of the rom, rather than as the kernel, even though it is contained within boot.img.)

I recommend that you ask your rom cook if he happens to know what's going on with your tablet. He might know if there might be a recent commit introducing potential for breakage.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitch Connor:
Okay, here's the situation. My girlfriend dropped her S5 and the screen cracked. At first you could see part of the screen, but overnight that stopped working and it's completely black now. The digitizer kind of works, I can unlock the phone but don't know where to go from there. All I'm trying to do is restore her apps and app data to her replacement S5.

I've tried the following:

A. Backed up the the broken screen S5 via both Smart Switch and Kies 3, but for whatever reason both programs do not allow the apps to be restored to the new S5. In one of those programs it mentioned apps need to be installed first before restoring, so I tried installing a couple of apps on the new phone, but still the app restore check box in both smart switch and Kies is greyed out.

B. I pushed sidesync to the broken phone and can see that it is installed from the app backups in both smart switch and kies, but I can't open it on the broken phone so I can't get the virtual screen to work.

C. USB debugging is NOT enabled on the broken phone. I tried blindly navigating but I'm not even sure if I'm getting anywhere.

D. Bought the Samsung USB to HDMI adapter cable. I can get it to work with the new S5, but don't get a signal when connecting it to the broken S5.

My approach so far is to try and get USB Debugging enabled. Then I could use one of the Android virtual screen programs download and run Helium to backup apps and app data, or try a 3rd party Android Transfer PC program (tried one but requires USB debugging). Here are my questions that hopefully someone can answer:

1. I read somewhere that you can enable USB debugging by flashing a custom kernel that has USB Debugging/ADB enabled. Would it be possible to modify a stock NK2 kernel so that it has USB debugging enabled and then I could then flash the modified NK2 kernel to the broken S5? It is recognized in Odin and I'm fairly sure I can get it into Download mode.

2. Would taking apart the broken S5 allow me to possibly fix/mend whatever is broken or disconnected and preventing the HDMI cable from working?

3. Is there some way to restore Apps and App data from the Kies 3 or Smart Switch backups to the new S5? It seems very strange to offer backups of Apps and data in in both programs, but not allow them to be restored to the same make and model replacement phone.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know, I'm willing to try anything. Thanks!

Notes:

If I had done any of the following I could have avoided this mess. (1) Turn on USB debugging (2) Run Samsung sidesync at least once on the phone before it broke, it seems to automatically start if you've gone past the intro screen once. (3) Backed up apps and data via Helium (her phone was not rooted).

Unfortunately i cant tell if it started with the last OTA or not, but my auto-rotate quit working. I have tried factory resets from both the settings/storage menu and using the power/volume down after phone was powered down. I contacted Verizon and they have had reports of it happening. She continued to say LG is aware of it and says it is a software issue that there will be a fix soon. Is anyone else aware of this problem?:confused:

Hey,

You cannot flash any custom ROM from your stock recovery. You need to have a custom recovery, and hence, follow this thread: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys2-i9100-root-android412-jellybean-install-clockworkmod-445008

After following this guide, go into your new recovery and flash the latest recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-t2291756

After flashing this APOLO recovery, make sure you "REBOOT INTO RECOVERY" and not into system. Now, you should see the TWRP 2.8.X.X version. Now, follow these steps to flash the CM ROM:

1. Wipe> Factory Reset

2. Install> ROM, and GApps.

3. Reboot system.

And you're good to go.

Regards. :)

As long as the hardware is the same on the phone, which basically all g4's are, then you shouldn't have a problem. Canadian models have always had a us counterpart. People should know that by now and if they don't and this is their first phone they have no business rooting it in the first place.

Tmobile doesn't always have the same phones as the Canadian carriers.... That's a stupid thing to say.
