Error: unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped (4.4.2) - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to everyone and thank you in advance for your time and expertise.
When I press the "HOME" button at the centre I get this error: unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped (clock is off by 12 hours, too). The error does not appear in other circumstances.
Following advice on XDA I rebooted in recovery and I did a cache wipe/format.
The phone got stuck (2 hours) on formatting cache.
I removed the battery and restarted but when I press the "HOME" button the error "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped" was still present.
I rebooted in recovery, again, but found that I had a new error: "cannot mount(open) /cache/recovery"
I followed yet another thread on XDA ("cannot mount(open) /cache/recovery"), rebooted in recovery, again, but this time I wiped the dalvik cache.
I rebooted but when I pressed the "HOME" button, again, the error "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped" was still present.
I rebooted in recovery again (this time there was no error "cannot mount(open) /cache/recovery") and I wiped/formatted the cache.
This time the phone did not get stuck and formatting of cache completed succesfully.
When I rebooted I got the message "Android is upgrading" and a list of 270 apps were "upgrading".
When the phone restarted and I pressed the "HOME" button, the error "unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped" was still present.
Please note that if I do not press the centre "HOME" button, the error does not appear.
Can anyone please help me resolve the Error: unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped"? I do not want to format to factory setting. The phone was rooted by a friend 3 years ago and he now left the country and I am completely ignorant about android in general and rooting etc... so I am afraid to format to factory settings and, please, use simple step by step instructions with easy language...
Again, thank you in advance for your time/expertise.

Edit 1
After posting this help request, I continued to search and I found this: http://android.stackexchange.com/que...s-stopped-on-g. I uninstalled Google App updates, I rebooted the phone, pressed the centre "HOME" button and the error did not come up. I then rebooted the phone again, and this time the phone started to update Google Services and Google automatically. I then pressed the centre "HOME" button, again, to check and, again, everything worked fine. I decided to try to actually used google (search), and this time the error came back, once more.
So it seems that the problem is connected to using Google after the upadetes. Any ideas how to fix the error?

Edit 2
Temporarily, I disabled < Google Apps > update and this fixed the problem but, of course this is not a permanent solution and I need to fix Android 4.4.2 so that it will not give me that error if I update < Google Apps >.

[Q] unfortunately, Google+ has stopped - can't use phone

My i9505 originally had I9505XXUFNB8 BTU firmware on it and was rooted using Chainfire's Auto Root.
The phone kept asking me to update the firmware so I decided to flash the stock firmware back on it using ODIN so that I could do so (I have read that you should never update via OTA if rooted).
When I flashed it using ODIN, upon boot up, the phone said that "Unfortunately, Touchwiz Home has stopped." I press OK but then I get another error message this time for Google Play Music (infinite loop).
I keep toggling between these two error messages, however they wouldn't go away.
If I press the lock screen button, I can see the welcome message, the status bar etc. But soon as I swipe, the above error messages appear.
If I receive a phone call, the phone rings and goes to the answer / reject screen but I can't accept the call as the error message is in the way.
The last resort I tried was to factory reset it via the stock recovery options boot menu, but to no avail.
I have flashed a new version of the ROM, I9505XXUFNB9.
This time, upon the first setup screen where it asks for the region and language after around 15 seconds a message appeared saying "unfortunately, Google+ has stopped."
I press OK on this dialogue box, then I get another error "unfortunately, Google Play Music has stopped."
Then after pressing OK on this one, I get the Google+ one in a loop.
Please help me as now I can't use the phone at all as I can't set it up.

I do it the force way that time is when the first boot the message not yet pop up i go to the setting application manager and stop the google play music and google+ app. Try wipe cache and dalvik cache it should help
When you got problems you can't solve:
Make backups and do a factory reset. 9/10 times it it solved then.

HELP PLEASE - Weardest problem i've ever had

hi everyone. I've ruined my phone by restoring a backup and the phone kept saying "unfortunately process Phone has stopped" - "unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped" - "unfortunately process contact storage" has stopped' and many more... it shows status bar and NAV-buttons and connects to the network for 0.2 seconds and instantly disconnects and then it happens again. i don't even get to go to the home screen. i tried factory reset but didn't work, Tried flashable zips of stock rom but nothing changed, flashing a clean stock KDZ won't even work(even CSE flash mode), my phone doesn't go to recovery mode(TWRP or Stock) either. what i think the problem originates from is a couple of files in the data partition that are still left over or some integrated updates to the system... or maybe the partitions are harmed
one thing that you might wanna know is that every time i re-flash a KDZ and it boots up, it shows the 'android is upgrading' - 'optimizing app X of Y' page, though it shouldn't. and after showing the massages of ' ... process has stopped' after a couple of minutes it restarts and it goes over the process again....
I've un-destroyed my phone a lot of time but this is different, it's like the flashing and restoring doesn't actually do anything and just moves a progress bar but doesn't do anything, I'm on stock recovery and stock rom(which doesn't boot or go to the recovery mode). PLEASE HELP ME. My phone is n a dramatic situation :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
Is there any way to modify partitions from download mode?????
Anyone ?????? Please help... I have serious problem, my phone is dead

Application Error

My phone notified me when i got home that i had a system update (Lollipop 5.1) So i downloaded it and proceeded with the installation. However when the phone rebooted itself, it showed i had no service and a error message popped up. "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" and gave me the option to close or send error report. I've tried pressing both options and it pops right back up. I am unable to get into any setting/apps due to this error message. Please Help!
Hello! I had the same problem with my blu vivo air. I made a factory data reset and the error disappeared! good luck!

Tried flashing stock ROM- stuck in bootloop. Error message: unknown volume /sbfs

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I have a J-500FN, bought used worked fine for a couple weeks, then started having issues with apps closing and system processes closing. Tried factory reset. Worked ok for about a day, then it just crashed completely. Read up, and decided I needed to flash a stock ROM. Went through the whole process, seemed successful, but it got stuck in bootloop. I saw doing a cache wipe/data wipe might fix that, so I tried that. During wipe process, I got an error message:
E: unknown volume for path [/sbfs]
E: unknown volume "/sbfs"
The only solution I found for the issue involved installing sidesync, but since I don't know how to install it on my phone when I can't get past the recovery screen.
Thanks for anyhelp!

A5 (2016) Stuck on Boot-screen (Samsung Logo) after Software Upgrade

Hi guys I kindly require your assistance concerning my Samsung A5 2016 A510F, device was running android 5.1.1 before I updated to android 7.0. Here's the reason why I updated, device was acting shaggy it would suddenly close apps during operation. for an example with error "messaging has stopped working" would close most of the apps with the same error or suddenly restarts itself especially when the battery is less than 50%.
So I then attempted to do OTA update but failed to install "error, invalid file" so I went the Odin way, Downloaded stock firmware and flashed via Odin, everything went smooth until reached the "apps optimization 40 of 40" stacked there for about 30 minutes until i decided to restart the device, upon restart the device no longer went pass the Samsung logo stacked there.
Here's what I tried to resolve the issue:
- Cleared cache
- Factory reset
On recovery screen i noticed an error about "e: failed to mount partition" I tried almost every solution I came across to on Google with no luck. I then tried flashing to this custom rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-resurrection-remix-rr-v6-unofficial-t3765542
Installed successfully but gets stuck on "checking for software update" I reinstalled the custom ROM again but this time without the GAPPS device booted successfully to home screen, went back to TRWP this time installed the GAPPS rebooted, it went successful, however device is unusable it keeps popping error "google play services closed" every 2 seconds.
Please help, is my phone officially dead I need clarity. Your assistance will be highly appreciated thanks in advance
