[Q] How to get rid of "System UIDs Inconsistent"?

I was on 4.2.1, rooted, and with TWRP as recovery.
I wanted to get the OTA to 4.2.2 so I did full Titanium backup and then used the WugFresh toolkit to flash stock 4.2.1.
After flashing, I was offered the OTA which I allowed to install.
When finished, I got root back with Rootkeeper and restored all Apps and Data (not System data) with Titanium.
Everything was working, but on every reboot I got the message :
"System UIDs Inconsistent. UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable."
I also found that My Phone Explorer would no longer connect via USB so I decided to go back to 4.2.1.
I again flashed it with the toolkit and did another restore with Titanium. Again, everything seems to be working, but I still get this message on every boot.
I thought using Titanium Backup was a standard way of restoring apps and data.
How do I get rid of this message without wiping and reinstalling all my Apps individually, which means losing all my game scores, etc?

I also see that in Bootloader there is a line
"Signing - not defined yet".
I do not know if that was there before flashing back to stock.

same problem
system UIDs inconsistent, it keeps showing up after every boot.
i have nexus 7 GSM 32 gb rooted using nexus 7 toolkit with clockworkmod recovery, android version 4.2.1 build number JOP40D

thank you

I found the answer in another thread. I used TWRP (Advanced - Fix Permissions). It was instantly fixed.
I took a full backup before trying this, but didn't need it.

You can boot any recovery you want without hard-flashing it to the device (so long as the boot loader is unlocked).
With the device in bootloader/fastboot mode,
Code:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery-image-file.img
So download TWRP and give it a roll.

Hello,
I got the same "System UIDs Inconsistent" problem. I like to solve my problems myself but I've got no way out this time, so I'm asking for your kind help.
I'm on the SGS III, i9300, I rooted it then went to Omega ROM, and then to Paranoid Android. Everything went well until I got a battery problem (when charging the phone, it was not sufficient to bear with it functionning, so it powered out while charging). After that, the phone restarted and the UID problem appeared. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
So far, I : fixed permissions, did at least 10 factory resets with TWRP, changed ROM (went to CM and came back to PA as nothing changed).
I read the 6 first post about this in xda forum, and other forums too, but nothing came out as an evidence.
Last thing I did was upgrade my PA ROM : the phone couldn't even go beyond the booting process, failed to initiate the phone "first settings" app.
So I came back to the previous version of PA, and was able to use my phone again, but apps like Gmail, Color Note, won't work.
I want to get rid of that, and I wish someone told me, step by step, the things I could do to eradicate the problem. I will do what's necessary to achieve that, I only need someone who knows what to do, and how to do it. I saw some tricks that maybe could do the job but I don't have the knowledge to choose one.
That's my first message here so I hope I didn't break the rules of the forum ^^ If you want any informations about my device to help me, just ask
Thanks a lot, and I hope my english is not too bad ! Have a good day.

Thanks
I got this message too without having any other problem with this TWRP version or Hairy Bean 2.2
The message appeared after flashing the new 4.2.1 (?) modded bootloader for Hairy Bean and the ROM itself.
I'm not sure whether the ROM or bootloader are causing it but mine got fixed by fixing the permissions via TWRP.
Thanks for the tip! :good:

In my case only re-partitioning helped.

for me uninstalling quadrant did the trick

That did it

This worked for me, too. Thank you.
My situation was a little bit different:
- Flashed Paranoid Android 3.99
- everything was fine (for a few reboots) until I made a nandroid back up with CWM 6.0.3.6 ( which was surprisingly slow, almost 1,5h)
- rebooted
- UID consistency problem
- tried to boot temporary into TWRP - NOT POSSIBLE!
- flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 permanently
- TWRP: advanced - fix permissions: SUCCESSFUL!
Maybe I'll keep TWRP, but I'm used to CWM for years now.
CWM has removed "fix permissions" since 6.0.3.5 (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45945/ )

Fix Permissions
For me worked fixing permissions through TWRP on CM 10.2 latest nightly (10082013).

Me too! TWRP on SlimRom 4.3
Thanks

I am also having this issue after I flashed SlimBean Beta 4 Weekly-409 on my i9300 (wipe data/cache/dalvik and clean install with gapps) and tried restoring a couple of apps like Any do and Temple Run 2 with Titanium Backup.
Is the TWRP being referred here mean the TWRP manager? I installed it from play store but I don't find 'fix permissions' option anywhere in it.
I remember of seeing it in SuperSU but I am unable to install that as well as it says the binary needs to updated.
Could someone please help me here?
Thanks!
--IH

Confirmed. Get into the TWRP n do a fix cache wipe/dalvik wipe/fix permission

Thank you for clarifying this fix

I just updated my S4 to 10.1 Hyperdrive and experienced this very same issue. Rebooting into safestrap and fixing permissions cleared up this very annoying issue on my phone.

I flashed gummy V4.4 yesterday works great. I went into rom toolbox and changed LCD density to 361 and rebooted, got the UID inconsistent message.
found this thread, fix permissions in TWRP, all fixed. bing bang boom.

thanks all, I also fixed with TWRP latest version, and try to roll back to CWM

I installed a new ROM and I got the System UIDs inconsistent error, then my S Planner FC. I went to find the txt file and it stated that the problem is related to Calendar Storage. I deleted the apk and placed a new one back in. Problem persists, I scratched my head for so long and then I found this thread.
THANK YOU, fixing permission for the Calendar Storage did the trick! Thank God I found this thread!

[Q] STRANGEST ROM Flashing Symptoms and Issues. CALLING Flash, Recovery, EXPERTS!!!

Dear Friends,
I just bought a Sprint S4, and despite my half a decade experience of flashing custom ROMs and such, I seem to run into a whole lot of issues with this phone that I cannot solve or get past.
So some background first, on what's happened and been done to the phone:
1. Bought the phone (don't recall the original firmware), but Rooted it via the QBKing method.
2. Flashed TWRP 6.1 something from the GooManager
3. Have a Class 10 SD 64Gig SD Card that I formatted via S4, so I assume it's in the ExFat format?
4. Downloaded Sacs, put the ZIP on the SD
5. Booted into TWRP, Wiped, Data, Dalvik, Cache, and System
6. Tried Flashing Sacs ZIP from SD, Errored out: Something like: Flash failed, unable to read the Zip file. And some verbiage for Partition
7. I can't Mount my SD or INTERNAL via Recovery. Can read them from the Recovery file Manager, but nothing shows up on the computer, unrecognized drivers (worked fine for the same phone, later, when it was on, so I know it was the drivers that was the issue)
8. Ran straight for Odin after that, but after trying SEVERAL TARs and etc, the phone would NOT begin flashing with Odin even :'(! (Could still enter Download Mode)
9. After HOURS of trying VARIOUS Odin versions and TARs, I found a One-Click EXE with Odin Packaged with the MDC Rooted firmware this FINALLY brought the phone back to life!!
Now the issues remaining that I need your expert help and advice on:
1. Since the phone coming back to life, I went STRAIGHT for Sacs ROM again! MD5 checked it, everything looked good. Put it both on SD and Internal.
2. Made Backups of the MDC ROM
3. Tried Flashing and ran into the similar error that you saw in Step 6 from the Backgroun
4. Downloaded Stock, DeOdexed MF9 ZIP, downgraded TWRP to a stable version, and tried Flashing again and Step 6 repeated. Tried VARIOUS ROMs this way, same issue. Error flashing, something about Partition, and Couldn't read Zip. All these Zips were MD5 Sum CHECKED!
5. The lack of mounting issue as USB drives from Recovery continues
6. Then a FREAK discovery was, when the ZIP failure occurred, I opted for Flash Dalvik and Cache and tried Installing right after that, and BOOM! Sacs starts Flashing !!!
7. I broke Sacs quick, restoring things from Titanium Backup, and when I tried restoring my latest MDC Backup, it recovered with a black screen and bootloops, and NO recovery entry AGAIN :'(!! (I think I may have backed up Recovery with that Nandroid and restored)
8. So I repeated the One-Click again, the phone restored again... this time in FACTORY MODE :-/?? I ignored, and restored to an older MDC backup, which worked!
9. I downloaded TriForce MF9, this time, tried flashing and failure again with Failed Flashing, error reading Zip. And on and on it goes :'(! I can't run Odins with MF9, I can't flash ROMs, I can't mount my INTERNAL AND SD in Recovery and am just straight bummed :'(!!
I have a few hunches:
- Format SD Card as Fat32, using this one app. But I think you lose 32 gig space from your card, right? Also, why doesn't Internal storage mount from Recovery :-/?
- Maybe a I just have bad or corrupted sectors in my Internal AND External storage devices?
In either case, please treat me as a NOOB, and chime in with your thoughts and experience on what you think could be happening? I appreciate ALL your help in advance, thanks for your time !

I would try a new recovery, I have always had problems with the newer TWRPs, I recommend 2.5.0.2 or CWM

^ that, and do you have to update to mf9 before flashing an mf9 rom? That might be helpful. Are you just dirty flashing rom over rom in your attempts, that could be an issue. Wiping and factory resetting before flashing the Rom may help.
Just tossing out random ideas.
Edit: just realized I missed #5 in the first half. Sorry, and missed the stock deodexed part lol.

Also a yes, Sir. MF9 kept failing, that is, it wouldn't be read by Recovery. Odin would fire the Tar either . No dirty flashing... almost EVER !

I just ran into a bunch of problems. Man.. You need to be careful what you flash. Not everything is on the up and up. Steer clear of this website and their firmware. ------> http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/ Unless you are intrigued by complex remote spyware. You'll be amazed with the phoney updates that inject things like a note 3 keyboard, Android device manager, and a bogus samsung hub. All of which will show AT THE BOTTOM, NOT THE TOP of your google play "all" list as installed apps.... but not in your installed apps list. They show as installed, but incompatible with your device. Go figure. Somebody had complete control of my device. It took me a minute to figure it out. Then finding a legit source of firmware here. ----->http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L720 I was able to get legit again. But not after encountering the problems you are having. I had to go in and manually delete a few partitions that did not belong and stayed after flashing anything. Once I did that... I flashed the MF9 firmware from samsung.updates.com (the second site I just listed above) and everything is legit now. No phoney updates. No bogus apps. Everything is perfect just like it came when I took it out of the box. Beware.... MANY of these ROM's have b.s. injected into them, and so do some of the firmwares. Take caution bro. I'd be happy to answer any questions if there are any.

Sorry to hear of your problems brother, indeed, such a pain and disappointing to go through this crap when all you want to do is enjoy the custom ROM goodness . ..
I think the key thing for me to do and understand is cleaning and or deleting partitions that you spoke of... but you'll see, I have so many issues that I keep hitting the wall one way or another . ..
I would LOVE your help if you can make some GTALK time for me?

I will say this... Your problem could be entirely different than mine. There are other choices besides firmware that will fix many problems. Remapping yhe partitions with PIT files which are also flashed with odin. I wanted to be sure, so I manually deleted partitions, then flashed the good firmware I mentioned above.

Hello.
I just settle the cm.-12. I'm testing it. and I've got no problem superuser. have to skip the 1st settings because you have no keyboard, you'll settings and activate and configure and arranged. I keep trying. -The Zoom cam remains. (As in CM-11) -Do not let me install anything because I advised that I have no space on any partition, is false, I have two gb in every hole, did you three wipes data / cache / davil -cache, and still have all the folders in the CM-11, so do not let me install anything, I'll format the card and make the wipes again.
-After Format and partition the sd I keep saying there is no space, internally or externally but recognizes both and the huge space there is both internal and external looks, not let me install apps, anyone know how to fix this?
My thanks to those who made this great work.

lte work !!

@kostoulhs Lollipop uses more storage because of the way ART operates.
As AnandTech explains in a post from July 1st:
"The big paradigm-shift that ART brings, is that instead of being a Just-in-Time (JIT) compiler, it now compiles application code Ahead-of-Time (AOT). The runtime goes from having to compile from bytecode to native code each time you run an application, to having it to do it only once, and any subsequent execution from that point forward is done from the existing compiled native code.
Of course, these native translations of the applications take up space, and this new methodology is something that has been made possible today only due to the vast increases in available storage space on today’s devices, a big shift from the early beginnings of Android devices."
Cheers

New Rom-Version
Hi,
is ist really necessary to install the new CWM and do we have to format the system?
I installed build 20141122 and have a huge battery drain. The settings show that the phone is always active. It is never in real Stand-By. In the CM 11 - Version for the I-8730 there was also a build that had this huge battery drain.
Am I the only one, who has it? I installed it correctly.
Thanks,

Low Storage possible fix
Hi @kostoulhs In reply to this message "I am trying to figure out why, all this weird thing with low storage happes, but only assumptions for now, any ideas?
Does this happen to everybody? "
I am on build 21/11/14 and I DID have the low storage message appear until I restored a backup of my apps using 'Helium' and rebooted, and since then i have not had this issue

I went through a process of rooting, however I'm still not rooted because no point of rooting if I have this problem.
Here's what happened:
After I unlocked the bootloader and flash TWRP, I went to TWRP and by mistake I wiped system as well. I was so nervous that I ended up wiping: System + Data + Dalvik + Cache + SD Card.
So after I had wiped everything off OPT, of course I had to download and flash manually Oxygen OS ! After I flashed it I set up the phone normally through Setup Wizard and when I was going to configure the Fingerprint, that's when it didn't work anymore. So, everything in the phone is working properly except for the Home Button.
So, do you think it could have anything to do with factory reset + System + SD Card and flashing Oxygen OS again? How could that damage the Home Button ALL functionalities? If not, read the final part of this thread:
The buttons on left and right of the Home Button work properly !
I followed these two Sticky Threads:
---> https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-2-stock-rom-collection-updated-01-09.347627/
---> https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-custom-recovery-root-efs-backup-more.345478/
I have a theory which might help someone who reads this tell me if it could be it:
So, my OPT came with Oxygen OS 2.0.3 and as I wiped the system, I had to flash a ROM again. However it is only available Oxygen 2.0.2 in the Internet to download, which leads me to think that it was a firmware downgrade which led to this problem. Could this be it?
I am trying to solve this for 17 hours ! Please, if you have any idea how to help me, do not hesitate.
Thanks in advance for all of those who are reading this until the end and even more thanks to the ones replying to this thread !

This could really be due to a driver problem.
They may use different fingerprint readers on several devices.
Have you contacted the Oneplus support yet?

I have. But it will take many days, I wish I could fix it asap. So, I guess if it is a driver problem, clean flashing, etc will not do anything ever right?
I have flashed everything from zero serveral times, it just keeps not working

You could search for someone to give you the appropriate files or even a backup of /system
Try the OP forums too.

If the problem is kernel related, guess you would need a back-up of /boot from 2.0.3 also

No... The link I posted was for a back-up of /system but if the issue is kernel related you would also need a back-up of /boot where the kernel is located. Maybe @Jeftha could upload it for you.

Where can I find this file? When I did the TWRP backup I had boot, system and data partitions selected.

somehow i deleted all my os and blah blah blah
so i sideload my opt with OxygenOS 2.0 ( OnePlus2Oxygen_14_OTA_002_all_1507251956_wipe.zip)
and i got my home button back ...yay
then flashed the OxygenOS 2.0.2
still have a home button

Facing the same problem. Wasnt flashing one rom over other. Was on hydrogen OS for about 10 days now. Any true solutions to this problem? Does the above solution work?

I've got the same issue starting today. I'm on OxygenOS 2.1.1 with root.
Going back to stock without root to see if it fixes it but I think it's gotta be a hardware issue. Has anyone gone through the RMA process with OnePlus?

HELP!! I am stuck inside of TWRP and cannot boot into the system

Hey everyone, I have a really frustrating problem, I am currently able to boot into TWRP via hardware method and ADB can see my device as well. However I have tried to install a stock system image through TWRP and I have also tried to install another TWRP backup that a user had posted in the Q&A forum. At one time I was able to successfully boot into the system but my device said encryption unsuccessful. After wiping the system partition and trying to install these images through TWRP I am still unable to boot into the system. Whenever I install them my phone will reboot into TWRP. I am at a loss as to what to do. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it.

I saw your other post in the other thread, but couldn't reply for some reason.. did you wipe the internal storage before restore?

Yes I did wipe the internal storage, I actually wiped everything the first time I tried to get everything in order and that was my original problem by wiping the system. I didn't realize that wiping internal storage would cause issues but that could have been one of the culprits. I think what finally solved my issue is I installed a deodexed rom and then powered down my device instead of rebooting and it booted up the rom. I had to flash SuperSU from a zip because for some reason the one that was preinstalled with that rom didn't install properly. So I installed the SuperSU zip and I am now officially rooted. Lesson learned DON'T WIPE SYSTEM OR INTERNAL STORAGE lol. I should have known better I have been rooting for awhile now, I just wasn't paying attention it happens to the best of us sometimes. Thanks for your help.

I used the deodexed ROM that is in the development forum. If I can upload it here I will if not just download it put it on your SD card and flash it. It may take a couple tries though I would suggest powering down your phone instead of rebooting it. Then turn it on and it should boot into the new rom. It's basically the same stock rom that our phone comes with. You may have to flash Chainfires SUPERSU zip that's in one of the threads. These steps should get you up and running again. Also if you can see your internal storage you're not encrypted. Hopefully that works for you. Let me know how it goes.

I wasnt able to upload the file from my phone. Just download it from here.

Flashing the rom helped me out. It's a system image file. It's basically the stock rom for our device just deodexed. What exactly happened what did you wipe after your phone booted into
TWRP? If you still have TWRP you're not bricked. If you can flash that image from the thread I copied above then you should be good. You may have to flash SUPERSU to get root back. Also after you flash make sure you're not encrypted if you can see your internal storage partition then you're not encrypted.

when I flashed the rom from your link above it just booted me into twrp again . I don't know what exactly I'm suppose to wipe. I can see internal storage tho so I guess that's a good sign but what's not good is that I can't use my phone :/ I've been rooting for years and can't seem to figure this one out.

When you flashed the rom did you power the phone down and then try to boot into the rom? That's what I did and it worked for me. So don't select reboot into system, I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way. I had to power my device down and then boot into the room. Also if you can see your internal partition in TWRP then you should be good and encryption is not enabled. I know how frustrating this is. Just keep trying eventually that rom should stick.

There a stock rom that I posted a link to a few posts back when I trying to help someone else. Download it put it on your SD card and install it. You don't need to wipe anything it will format things for you. After it installs don't reboot, power down the device and then turn it back on it should boot into the rom. That's what worked for me. I believe there was another way then what I just described it's in the same thread that I linked a few posts back. Good luck!!

Thanks for the help brother. However, it did not work for me. I flash the stock system, boot, turn device off and turn back on but I am still stock on TWRP. I will continue reading and hopefully I will find the answer soon.

Same. Though I am on US996. Not sure what I did, was exploring some behind the scenes stuff using 'hidden codes' but didn't change any values as I didn't know what they meant in most cases. I rebooted my phone and it went straight to TWRP (3.0.2-1) and it will not boot past TWRP. Occasionally after I've flashed something, it will boot into TWRP and the screen will be unresponsive to touch so I have to pull the battery, but then it will be fine again.

I was in your position not to long ago, I'm currently working on getting a .kdz recovery file for the H918. My progress will continue on it later when finals are over.
