Process System isn't responding - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm having issues with my I9505 Galaxy S4. The phone was rooted and after trying a few ROMs (Omega) etc I returned to a NAND backup with was basically rooted stock (via TWRP). Over the weekend strange lock-ups kept happening and I keep getting - Process System isn't responding. When I try and make a call the phone either reboots and hands for a minute and returns that error. This morning I have flashed via ODIN a rooted stock rom then a standard stock ROM - both do not fix the issues, I still have the same errors which is odd.
Can anyone make any suggestions ?
Thanks, Nick

if you are rooted, flash custom recovery, format system via recovery, then flash a custom rom or stock firmware.

Sorry, just saw that you did all these already.
You have to be VERY careful. It is already reported that the wipe in TWRP might screw things up.
So, I recommend you that you install a prerooted stock ROM, and the stock recovery. Then do a factory reset (from the phone!).

[Q][Root/cwm lost?]

Hi guys,
Recently I updated my i9505 to official 4.3 version XXUEMJ7...then i rooted it successfully, flashed philz cwm, it worked...i did a backup, then flashed a mod (lightning effect on lockscreen), turned on the phone. Suddenly my wifi won't work so I decided to do a restore from the backup that i made 10 minutes before that. While it was restoring i noticed that i didnt had enough storage so it skipped few things. When it was successfully restored, I turned my phone on and here are the problems:
When it has booted up i recieved so many errors and fc's like procedure system has stopped, com.google.process.gapps error and so on...
I taught ok, lets delete some HD games to gain space and restore it again. But now there was no cwm or any recovery. I can't use Google Play and every app that uses Google files (youtube, gmail, stock internet browser and even facebook)
I'm not sure if I lost root and/or cwm. My question is how to get it back? What do i need to flash over Odin? Download mode works.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Hello.
I have same problem. Nothing works. I think it's a protected bootloader that will rewrite every custom rom/recovery. I had rom for ~20 days, and was just doing my daily routine, rebooted and lost root and CWM. After this same symptoms occured.
I downloaded XXUEMJ7 prerooted now, and it was only rom that I could flash. Have no custom recovery by now and root works... But probably not for long. What's most important - wifi works. This is partial solution for using your phone while someone smarter will explain us what's going on.

In this thread, use "ctrl+f" and write "PDA: XXUEMJ7" There will be prerooted odin flashable link.
By the way, flashing this new knox bootloader with 4.3 was worst thing that I done do my phone. And I'm really pissed off on samsung. Hope some smart devs will solve this someday and we will be able to downgrade or bypass this.
Well, I still get those errors all the time... :crying:
I taught this would remove them, but unfotunately didn't..

Try wiping cache in your recovery

if you've done a full wipe and tried either re-flashing your rom or restoring a nandroid and neither was successful, you may need to consider going back to stock via odin and starting over.
i've never seen a phone run on the same rom and kernel settings for months and then just shut down and softbrick without something having been changed recently.

[[SOLVED]] Process system isn't responding

Hi,
I rooted my phone 2 days ago and installed custom ROM everything went well, except for today my phone start to lag too much, so I decided to flash back the stock ROM that I have downloaded from Sam-mobile using Odin 3.08, but now my device not responding to anything and even I get "Process system isn't responding" in Samsung wizard installation also the sound disappeared and when try lunch any app like camera I get message "camera failed" and keep getting "Process system isn't responding".
[[The Solution]] for Process system isn't responding follow the steps: ((ONLY SM-N9005))
1-Unroot your phone if you are rooted.
2-Factory rest your phone and clear cache. .
3-Flash the Stock rom for your device.(if this fixed the the problem stop here if not continue to step 4)
4-Download this ROM and flash it by Odin 3.04.(this rom somehow managed to restore my EFS files and fixed the problem)
and that's it.

Oh man, I though I was the only one having this problem. I really don't now how to fix it at all, I've tried flashing stock ROM and I still get the same problem. If anyone can help, I'd be so grateful.
This sounds a lot like the issue I've been having (see details in the thread I posted here).
Any insight would be very welcome.
Yup bad root (it can and does happen the odd time!), clear cache etc in download mode, then reflash the new Stock ROM, then wipe cache etc again in download mode. See if that helps.
Similar issue I had previously after I originally rooted was apps kept closing and saying stopped working. When I wiped the ROM and updated via KIES to MJ7 with wiping cache etc, it seems to have done the trick.
EDIT: Also try ODIN 3.07 rather than 3.08

Maybe just return it, play stupid with the phone shop staff, probably won't notice the flashing anyway.

Unfortunately I've tried all of this too (except using Kies, it won't recognise my phone though I'd never tried it before now) to no avail.
I might try a warranty swap, but I'm concerned because the system status shows custom and I'm unsure there's any way to reset it. I suppose my only chance is to try for an on-the-spot swap for a new phone, because if it gets sent back to Samsung I expect they'd reject it due to the system status.
Still can't understand why the issue persists beyond reflashing the stock rom...

I don't understand why the issue persists after flashing stock either but I doubt it is hardware fault. I hope someone knows how to fix this

[Q] Phone Won't Reboot Without Looping.

I got my new Note 3 2 weeks ago and after a week of ownership decided to root it and install a custom rom.
Rooting went fine and then I installed my first custom rom Echoe Rom v.4.1 Full. But the problem I had was that, after installing all my apps, when I went to reboot the phone it just went into a continuous bootloop. So I thought I'd try another rom and installed Omega v4.0 and had the same problem, boot loop after rebooting.
So my question is why? Why are all roms causing me bootloops after I reboot? I'm having to either keep charging the phone and keeping it on 24/7 or if, for some reason it does power off, clearing davik cache and performing a factory reset to enable me to boot the phone up again and go through the whole install process over again.
Can I do anything to stop this or has anyone any idea why it is happening please?

Many thanks Dahdoul. I'm downloading the first PreRooted rom from the thread. Hope that's the right one! Do I need to unroot the phone before powering it up and, if so, how do I unroot it?

two ways to Unroot your device:
Go to superuser app in your phone then settings press on unroot completely option and you are ready to go.
OR
In recovery mod Wipe cache partitions and reset factory settings then flash the stock rom by odin.

Process System crashs and bootloop

Hi,
I've a big problem with my note 3 (SM-9005).
Root and under Foxhound Diamonds ROM 1.2
All worked perfectly during one month and I don't do any modifcation last month.
Just i flashed Faux's recovery 2 days ago.
After that, Note3 works perfectly. But I had needed to do a reboot. But after reboot I had many problems. PIN code was not query after reboot, I have no signal and after several seconds it's show me "system process doesn't respond" wait or close?. Then the phone reboot and reboot until I removed the battery.
I tried to reflash the rom but I had still the same problem. I also tried to reflash a Samsung firmware with ODIN. Flash was OK, but problem is still there. No signal, and reboot after system process crash...
Any idea? My Knox counter is at 0x1...
Sorry for my poor English.

And I had flashed a stock Rom with ODIN. But when we flash a stock ROM with ODIN, we lost the root. Why I Still had the same problems after flashing a stock rom?

Because you corrupted your EFS partition flashing either a kernel that didn't like the phone or a ROM that had issues, (Samsung Note 3 is prone to EFS issues currently). And it needed rebuilt. Re-Flashing stock in most cases won't rebuild it but sometimes it does, then you have you use this to fix. No need to go back to stock or wipe or anything, just flash it and voila! fixed

Ok, I've not my note 3 with me. I tried to return it to after-sales services. But Samsung said that I had flashed the device and that warranty is broken...
I'm waiting the estimate but I think it will be too expensive. I want try to repair it by myself but they have not brought back the phone yet.
But the last solution :

needs to have a custom recovery. But it seems to me that after i had flashed the stock firmware, I didn't have the custom recovery but only the stock... How I can flash the file? Is it possible with the stock recovery?
Grab TWRP or CWM recoveries and ODIN, boot the phone into download mode - when it is off. Load up one of your custom recoveries in to PDA - hit start and let it install. Once it's done your phone will still bootloop, so take the battery out. Put back in - hold volume up, power button and home button - it'll boot into recovery, then just flash your efs fix zip via the install button

Great! I'll try as soon as they brought me back the phone.
I didn't knew how to flash custom recovery with ODIN.

Samsung refuse my device. Warranty is broken because I flashed it. They saw Knox's counter of course...
They asked 250€ ~ 340$ to repair it. I refused I prefer to try your solution and i'm waiting. The phone will be back in average the 15th january.

Some news!
I just recover my phone!
I have immediately flashed the recovery, and flash the file you got me. And.... it's running!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
I'm so happy!!! What a shame for Samsung! They said in the estimate 340$ to repair it with a change of motherboard while just a little flash was enough.
